The Senator

Very nice article, CVM - you will likely enjoy this montage... Link - remember Crystal Beach

That first plunge after the long slow climb to the top was always a thrill, and a bit of a fright as well - right at water's edge, it seemed like you'd plunge right into the lake. BTW - the Comet was built partially from track and structure 'recycled' from the original Crystal Beach Cyclone roller coaster. Opened in 1927 and demolished in 1946, it is said to be one of the most frightening roller coasters to ever be built. I wasn't around then, but some of my older relatives confirm that opinion. "Reports say the ride at Crystal Beach drew 75,000 on opening day and crowds were so heavy that a railing was broken by those pushing to get close to the new ride. One patron rode 67 times that day and on its second day of operation, two boys rode 52 times." link

Actually, the Bills do a great job of assisting players with housing. They have strong relationships with several property management companies, particularly in the Southtowns - probably a good dozen or so Bills (Mitchell, Lynch, Posluszny, Reed, et al) live in the Sawgrass complex or the Brierwood area where the Bills have properties committed to the team. This is one of the more ignorant threads - even for the offseason - that I've seen on TSW, obviously started by a troll whose sole objective is to start stupid threads and inject enough controversy to ruffle a few feathers. That's all he's trying to do. (Notice the screen name - also conceived solely to irritate fans who are sensitive about the Toronto situation.)

A 'consultant' is basically someone who borrows your watch to tell you what time it is, then charges you an exorbitant fee for his services. Good work, if you can get it.

Geez, Promo - I don't remember you waxing on about the UB football program when that Cornell bum Jim Hofher was head coach

The largest single day amphibious invasion of all time (160,000 troops) is "historically overrated"? Amazing that only 90 of the 225 rangers survived the machine gun fire and grenades that rained down on them during 2-day struggle at Pointe-du-Hoc to "take a naval battery that wasn't there". I wonder then, just who was killing our boys? If it weren't for those young men, you and I and the rest of the world would be speaking German today - so please, keep the ridiculous counterpoint to yourself.

In one of the most memorable speeches of his presidency, Ronald Reagan stood at the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1984, and described how Army Rangers on D-Day had scaled cliffs and defeated enemy troops who were firing down on them. The impact of Reagan's speech came from the details that he hammered home in describing one of the great historical moments of his life, and of the 20th century. If you never heard President Reagan's speech at Normandy, it is worth taking the time to hear it now. It is one of the most descriptive accounts of World War II and Normandy...

So this ham & cheese sandwich walks into a bar, sits down and orders, and the bartender says, "Sorry...we don't serve food here."

We are going to absolutely light them* up - Trent Edwards, T.O., Lee Evans, & Co. will put on an offensive clinic for Belicheat* and Bundchen*, who* will spend most of his* time on his* back, gazing up at the sky, wondering what hit him.... Our BuffTown Bills 34 Provincetown Patriettes* 0 19 and 0 baby!!! GO BILLSSS!!!! PosLUSZny!!!!!

...on the road, in front of a Monday night national TV audience. Otherwise, no biggie.

So this duck walks into a bar, orders a drink, and tells the bartender, "Put it on my bill."

DOOOOOOOOOOMED, I SAY.........DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!!!!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!! GO BILLSSS!!!! PosLUSZny!!!!!

Actually, this is the proposed site... link (click on the photo to enlarge the view) It's an idea tossed around for a few years by then Councilman (now NYS Senator) Antoine Thompson, which his successor (Brian Davis ) has advocated building on site of the Perry Street projects, near the new Seneca Casino... Davis' resolution New downtown stadium And, BTW, there is some grassroots support for a new stadium... Buffalo Rising Buffalo Stadium I love Rich/Ralph Wilson Stadium, but it is approaching its 40th birthday. It was designed by the same group that did the old Cheatriettes* stadium in Fagsboro, but that dump was left half-finished whereas RWS has been constantly upgraded. My biggest complaint is the narrowness of the corridors - especially since they let the 'pushcart' vendors in to sell beer and hawk credit cards in the hallways. It'd be great to have a downtown facility - just not sure the city can accommodate the traffic, and it'd take a huge chunk of prime downtown land for parking, practice facilities, and the stadium itself.

Why? Because McIntyre maturbates on old ladies' lawns?

I would have to agree - adding only that, as Peters is now an ex-Bill, I don't much care who pays him what. He's Philadelphia's problem now. (Although, I believe Jake Long is the highest paid LT - which will no doubt lead to another Peters holdout in 2010. ) I know the Bills will survive - and thrive - without him, and I consider him one of the more selfish players the Bills have ever groomed and given an opportunity to make a fortune playing a game he's loved since childhood. Good riddance, Peters, and... GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!

Huh? Who hated Bruce choosing Cottrell?

Interesting perspective - erroneous, I think, but interesting that you perceive our FO was 'overmatched'. Frankly, I think our FO won the battle hands-down when they faced off last season and Peters' side blinked. Peters was just too stupid to realize that the Bills have a history of rewarding players who show up and do their jobs. IMHO, the Bills finally grew weary of the Peters continual demands for more more more while not showing up for work, or giving anything more than a modicum of effort when he finally did show up. I also think the Bills are of a mindset that Peters is not as great as some members of his fan club think he is, and that his play will continue to decline in direct proportion to his ever-increasing demands for more money. Only time will tell who's right and who's wrong, but as a Bills fan, I hope Peters sucks even worse in Philadelphia than he did in Buffalo last season... GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!

That's hysterical - especially coming from a Tommie* Brady* loving knob-gobbler such as yourself. (I know...I know...you're sayin', "Hey! Leave Tommie* alone...he's just soooooooooo dreamy...."

Right you are - and now they realize they have an $11M/yr. fat f_ck who they need to teach how to block. BuffTown is a church group compared to the 'City of Brotherly Love' - FatBoy will be eaten alive by the Philadelphia fans & media.

Yes, we know.

Yes, you got it - it was the play where FatBoy, even though he had a clear opportunity to throw a block, just stood there and did nothing, blocked no one, made no attempt whatsoever to move his fat ass and try to at least knock Elam off-stride as he breezed right by the statue that was Peters. That was the play. Glad you remember.

How are things in Provincetown this morning? link

Yes - he was particularly great on that Abram Elam sack that cost us the Jets game - you know...the play where he stood there, eyes agape, brain disengaged, body apparently 'on vacation', and did absolutely NOTHING as Elam laughed his way past the immobile, dumbfounded, almighty Jason. Perhaps he was still holding out in week 15?

So this penguin is vacationing out in Arizona, and his car breaks down - he gets a tow to the local garage, and the mechanic tells him, "No problem, I'll have you on your way in about an hour." So, the penguin goes to the local DQ to get himself an ice cream cone. Now, this being a hot Arizona day, by the time Mr. Penguin gets back to the garage, the ice cream has dripped all over his bill and over his face. So anyway, as he approaches the garage, the mechanic calls out, "Looks like you blew a seal," to which Mr. Penguin replies, "What????!!!! No!!!! It's just ice cream!!!!"

Face it, you could probably just distill your entire post down to, "I just love Jason Peters - his farts smell like roses."
