Gord Downie diagnosed with terminal brain cancer http://buffalo.com/2016/05/24/news/music/tragically-hips-gord-downie-diagnosed-terminal-brain-cancer/ Here's what the band posted on its website Tuesday: Hello friends. We have some very tough news to share with you today, and we wish it wasn’t so. A few months ago, in December, Gord Downie was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Since then, obviously, he’s endured a lot of difficult times, and he has been fighting hard. In privacy along with his family, and through all of this, we’ve been standing by him. So after 30-some years together as The Tragically Hip, thousands of shows, and hundreds of tours…We’ve decided to do another one. This feels like the right thing to do now, for Gord, and for all of us. What we in The Hip receive, each time we play together, is a connection; with each other; with music and it’s magic; and during the shows, a special connection with all of you, our incredible fans. So, we’re going to dig deep, and try to make this our best tour yet. We hope you can come out and join us this summer – details and dates will be coming this week. And we sincerely thank all of you, for your continued love and support, Paul, GordD, Johnny, Rob, GordS Sad sad news, I have seen The Hip more times than I can count and they never disappoint. This will be a must see show...

I just pulled a half-million bucks out and hired a private investigation team. Their blood is just as red as ours. Some of them like women, some of them like men, some of them gamble. Some of them do whatever ... It wasn't a coincidence do you think that I led the league in walks the next two years, was it? Fear does a lot to a man." blackmail link: https://youtu.be/fvhb_BjTDmk hooked on opiates: Solitary confinement: Wow....If this is just a small sample, I will have read this book!

What is the definition of a "Wonder"? I would think a wonder would be someone who had a great season, but I would not put TT in that class. He was good last year, but far from great. I think he can be better and has the potential to be very good, if not great. But a wonder? i don't think so....

What he is trying to say makes sense...If you're going to take a penalty, get you money's worth. But the way he said it may get him fired....

Pretty much the same as TBD, the optimists are few a far between...

What a miserable SOB Jon Snow was post death! The whole "kill me once shame on you, kill me twice shame on me" thing was getting old. Finally he agrees to fight and re-gain control of Winterfell. That battle should be epic...

Hey, was John Scott and all-star or not?

A good place to visit as well... http://www.buffalonews.com/business/buffalo-makes-it-to-the-top-of-the-list-20160512

I was referring to the title of the article, nothing to do with Vessey not being a smart kid...

Saw this article on the Buffalo News site and thought, sweet!, Vessey outlines his wishlist!!! Who does he list? How long is the list? Is Buffalo on the list?................. What a waste of time....

It would really suck to be killed by someone you killed...

I say that all the time "if they only knew, they think they do, but they don't". There are so many times we, as fans, assume that it has to be the obvious players fault. But unless we know the play call and/or scheme, you simply don't know who is to blame...

The new draft room is pretty sweet as well... http://www.buffalobills.com/video/videos/Draft_Special_Draft_Room/f1859eb3-da98-4c6f-a844-21be98ad02c4

There are many here that already do that...

With Myrcella out of the picture, there is no Baratheon heir to the iron throne...so, game on!

Congrats Cordy! Thank you for handling the situation like a professional. Not bitching and moaning about the franchise tag and having confidence a long term deal would be worked out. Great job front office...

"happy birthday!!!' here is the prayer translation: Zyhys oñoso jehikagon Aeksiot epi, se gis hen syndrorro jemagon. "We ask the Lord to shine his light, and lead a soul out of darkness." Zyhys perzys stepagon Aeksio Oño jorepi, se morghultas lys qelitsos sikagon. "We beg the Lord to share his fire, and light a candle that has gone out." Hen syndrorro, oños. Hen ñuqir, perzys. Hen morghot, glaeson. "From darkness, light. From ashes, fire. From death, life." I will recite this over and over until the Bills season begins!

He wasn't able to work out last year before coming to training camp and definitely came in out of shape. That was most likely was a contributing factor for his ankle injury. Hopefully he is 100% well before camp this season...

They are basically advertising for the military, the same as when they recognize a veteran at a sporting event. The military pays the bill and whomever they chose to fly the plane is up to them...

I believe Ennis would have been traded, if healthy, at last seasons deadline.

The big issue is $$ obviously, it costs quite a bit for a flyover. The reason for the brief stoppage was pentagon budget cuts.

Would have been so cool to film at the Sundowner... I kid....I kid...

As it should be! http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/university-at-buffalo/buffalo-reclaiming-place-of-honor-on-ub-team-jerseys-20160412

About half way through the third season of Ray Donovan, pretty good show. Thinking of starting Billions next, anyone watch?
