If you give me the Falcons, the Bills have a guaranteed trade partner.

My first Bills game was in 78 I believe. It was a Monday Night Game against Miami, early in the season. I remember this guy being carried INTO the stadium by 4 friends, each one had an arm or a leg. He was definitely passed out but his buddies weren't going to let him miss the game lol. I also remember a sign in the end zone, the infamous "Howard, Yuck" with the Mr. Yuck logo as the O in Howard. Such good times at that Stadium. Also saw Van Halen during the Monsters of Rock, but just VH. My girlfriend at the time and I decided at like 3 pm in that afternoon to go.

Didn't see this posted. Clem helped define New Wave in it's early formation. He also had drummed with many other great acts, including a fill in for the GoGo's, in which after a gig he said he was finally the best looking male in a group. Big loss in the music world. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/arts/music/clem-burke-dead.html

This goes back to what I said earlier. Not enough inventory will drive up the price, no matter what that price is. There are people here, maybe even a corporation that will buy this house at or over asking for housing when a C Level Executive visits Buffalo.

Buffalo and the surrounding area is the #1 rated real estate market in the US. People are moving here in large numbers. There's a ton of demand and not enough inventory. His asking price does seem high but I would not be surprised one bit if he gets an offer over asking.

Bon Jovi delivered music that got the youngins up and dancing. When Bon Jovi is played, the majority of us middle age folks sing along. He's smart in marketing and writing music that goes along with the marketing. His music to me is meh. So much better out there. Honeymoon Suite were about the same time, and their music is superior to Bon Jovi.

I was working a temp job for the Sabres, and watched the game from the Zamboni entrance. After the game, the likes of Luce, Playfair, Ramsay, handed to me and a couple of others the banners that were lowered from the rafters. What no one knew about, is that those banners were attached to solid lead pipes. Heavy as all get out. I nearly tripped Sean Burke as he was coming out of the Whalers dressing room. He laughed and said no big deal.

For the Comeback game, The old American Sports Bar and Grill on Transit, now a Cracker Barrell, had "Full NFL Coverage". Yes. They had the game on. It was packed to start the game. At halftime, more than half the people left. When the comeback started, they had to lock the doors as the managers estimated 2500 people were in the bar and seating area. When Christie made the field goal, waitresses started dancing on the tables. Good times.

You don't live on a pedestal.

More gig money? Nah. Bar owners aren't that generous.

Keeping this as a poll only thread. Don't need two threads on discussing this.

Marv Levy was highly overrated and should not be in the Hall of Fame. He was a very good people manager, and a bad coach.

There are a number of school districts who have eliminated buses, and school might mandate that parents drive their kids to school to eliminate walking in the dark. I am 1000% of Daylight Savings Time being permanent.

My Uncle and Aunt were very big in the Judo community. My uncle when he passed had 8 black bets in Judo. One of his students has 3 black belts himself, and he teaches Judo at UB. So I gave it a go. Lasted 3 weeks and I'm like, Nope. I'm good.
