Good point about the Sabres. How many of them skated together on a regular basis last offseason? (Or during the lockout, for the ones who didn't play overseas?) Some relevant thoughts from a guy who knows something about football:

In the first SB against Dallas? Kenneth Davis got stuffed on 4th and goal, I'm certain. I remember the crucialness of the play like it was yesterday. What Jimbo INT are you referring to? Nope, Dave has it right. Gardner on first-and-goal, Thurman on second down, KDavis on third down, and the INT (trying to force it to Metzelaars) on fourth. From Relentless, Jim Kelly's quote about the INT:

If Saku doesn't take a stick in the eye, the Tropical Depressions don't make it out of the first round. Go Oilers.

WKBW had a report from locker clean-out day on their 11:00 broadcast. McKee was there, but with the IV port still in his arm... (FWIW, both he and fellow free agent Grier want to stay in Buffalo.)

The Argos' response: Good stuff.

So that's why he lost the dreadlocks...

Knowing you, there'll probably be a "Flu-tie!! Flu-tie!!" chant there somewhere as well...

Hey, she's from Chicago. Have to forgive her for not knowing anything about the NHL playoffs...

While driving home from work this morning: first time in at least a couple of years I can remember the normally even-tempered Howard Simon actually yelling on the air, in reaction to Barnett's latest dose of pablum. nbarnett@newsobserver.com, if anyone wants to discuss ol' Ned's columns with him. Have fun.

'04 was Jim Ritcher. And yes, bb.com may want to consider updating that page...

Thanks. I needed that laugh.

Indeed... 700077[/snapback] Yup -- call up the BB ticket office and tell them you want to buy 20 season tickets (without bothering to mention you'll be reselling them), and ask for the best seats available. Bet I know what their reply would be... "Mastercard or Visa?"

Yes, Marcel owns that store. Add Hockey Night in Canada's Harry Neale to the list, too.

I still remember him telling all of us about Darlene on that awful, awful day. Bestest babe ever. If anything, I guess we should be thankful he stayed as long as he did. Amen, Simon. Amen.

*sigh* Too true, although I have gotten better at controlling my statistical-analysis compulsion... for now, anyway...

That, or a 'broker' who buys their own seasons. IIRC, a lot of the front of the upper deck season tix are held by bus-tour companies. Bill, my two seats in sec. 109 went up a total of $80 this season - $4/seat/game - so that wouldn't account for the increase you're seeing. But the Pats game has been a tough ticket ever since their bandwagon filled up; we'll see what happens this year, now that they're not the defending champs... Holy #&*!. I just clicked on your ticket link, and seats in my section are asking upwards of $200 each ?!?!? Guess I'm missing the boat by actually going to the games...

This IS their hobby. Frightening, no?

I was thinking the same thing, although the one to Kamil Loud will be hard to beat...

You don't remember him playing for the Phils' Class A team in Batavia a few years back?

I remember hearing somewhere "outside Hartford". ...checking... Rentschler Field, the UConn football stadium.

Wardrobe suggestions by Michael Irvin?

I was just about to go back and help you with that prediction.... Gerber baby to the bench.

Hmmm, I dunno - might have to have a vote or something. ***PetrinoInWappingersFalls***? Too long. ***PetrinoInChelsea***? Umm, no. For obvious reasons. You might be better off sticking with ***PIA***....

Great line. Mind if I borrow it for a while?
