Do you still watch the NFL Hall of Fame inductions?
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to BillsPride12's topic in The Stadium Wall
An update from the BN, nothing mentioned about when he's leaving, but a story I read a couple weeks back stated he was heading back Friday night. A van provided by the Pro Football Hall of Fame was scheduled to pick up former Bills coach Marv Levy and his family in Chicago on Wednesday morning for the drive to Canton, Ohio. An NBC camera crew will be shadowing Levy during his visit to the Hall. -

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to BillsPride12's topic in The Stadium Wall
The thing for Marv is Friday night as he will be there in Canton, but is leaving right afterwards as has to be be back in Chi Town for a signing event over the weekend. I'm guessing they will show a taped replay of about 30 seconds of Marv's celebration during the actual televised event. And I too don't watch it like I use to either. Speeches have got way too long. -
another one similar is they may keep the rookie OT and take a chance on VanDermark getting to the PS

Training camp day 3 st john fisher college
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to scuba guy's topic in The Stadium Wall
Now I know why the Bills fired their conditioning coach, saw a couple of photo's of Beane and he looks a bit out of shape. Also noticed Ferguson has some grey in his beard. Got to wonder if a player is too old and should have retired before getting grey hair? -
Looking at a photo of Highmark and seeing all the blue seats with the new stadium in the background, got me wondering. Has there anything been announced on the color of the seats in the new stadium? Will they again be blue. Have to admit Highmark does look cool from above. With the large overhang/roof on the new place, doubt it will look as good from above.

ESPN acquiring the NFL Network and the NFL Redzone
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Gregg's topic in The Stadium Wall
Did it state when the Red Zone sale takes place? Wondering as with ST through YTTV, they are charging extra to buy ST with Red Zone. Doubt they will be able to offer that in future if owned by ESPN. -
One thing of every year at this time, probably the first couple of years the camp moved to Rochester, they'd include some photos of the players arriving and they'd always have one pic showing an offensive lineman carrying in one of these early day HD TV's that was about thew same size and weight of old tube TV's. Forget what they called that style but the player would be carrying in around a 32 inch model and for him the weight was probably like me carrying in my lunch bag.

But 4 of them made the playoffs. Besides the 4 on the list who's your 5th competent name? Have to say looking at his list, you can say the Bills had many down years and yes only had 5 good coaches, but look at the names on this list for other teams? Mike Smith for Atlanta, Kevin Stepanski, Wayne Fontes, Bill O'Brien and Demarco Ryan for Houston, and how can we leave out our own Doug Marrone and Doug Peterson. Kind of fitting the Jets have 3 coaches listed with an all time record with the team of under .500. See Knox made the list with 3 teams . Surprised George Allen didn't mad ethe list with the Rams too. -
Bengals 1st RD Pick could go back to College?
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Big Blitz's topic in The Stadium Wall
Since you mentioned college basketball, yeah, I've become the same way. Between the one and done's to the point you don't know anyone who's on the team, with so much changing of the roster there's little teamwork as the players aren't together long enough to figure things out, plus they are pretty much all terrible shooters these days. Living in Western NY for a long time I followed Syracuse pretty close every year. Moved down to NC almost 20 years go, still followed them until there last few years. But it's tough to follow a team that has been losing as much as they have and because of the losing, isn't on nearly as much TV as they used to be and much less media coverage. So in general don't follow the sport that much, but will watch March Madness, but even that not as intently as I use to as don't know who anyone is anymore. In all honestly I follow the NBA now more than college. -

Top WR - ESPN - nfl executive rankings
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to balln's topic in The Stadium Wall
And yet, they were the #2 offense I believe?? -
Ok yeah wondered about the fine print, was figuring either was for new ST subs (which is the case) or people who didn't already have a subscription to YTTV which I also already have. Thanks for the info!
-
Hmmmm.... Tempting to try it. Guess they are figure for many will forget to cancel the premium subscription afterwards which is what happens with many of these deals
-
so you Tube Premium is $14/month. So I could Sept 1st get this for 4 months for $52, then I can get ST for $192?? There's got to be a catch like need a 3 year subscription to Premium?? Or is there a much pricer premium package I'd need to get the $192 offer?

The view from the top of the new stadium
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall
OK, didn't know that about you. So I'm an ME and have used lifts in many places to, but didn't see much of an area where you had a flat and large enough surface to sit the lift and looked like it would have to swing in fairly far from there. Recall one project working in an area with around a 32 foot high ceiling to next level but needed access to a surface about 4 or 5 feet below that level, so they built scaffolding off the floor above and hung it down. It was just entirely clamped onto the floor above to hold in place. Maybe there's a way they can easily just keep leap frogging that structure along as they get to the next section?? -
The view from the top of the new stadium
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall
My understanding that is there so they can safely and easily get access to the underside of the roof panels to finish the work like installing speakers lighting, utilities, etc. Admittedly it does seem like a very large effort to build this for something only temporary, that they couldn't figure out a better way like have everything pre attached to the roof panels. But am sure they've thought through this and this was the only way and probably a similar thing has been done in ten other prior built stadiums. Will say too while this looks very elaborate, having been working in industrial settings involving some crazy scaffolding, it does install much easier, quicker, and simpler than it looks. -
Don't know how many saw the article, but apparently on Friday night August 1st at Canton as part of HOF weekend, Marv will be there for a birthday celebration as the oldest live HOF member. Apparently he has to leave right afterwards to be back home for a contractual autograph session on Saturday that he wasn't able to get out. of. Think I read Chris Berman is introducing him.

Unless he was the one shooting them off. The post says Najee Harris was present at a 4th of July event where a fireworks mishap resulted in injuries. It may have left out the part where it says Harris was holding the fireworks in his hand when it blew up. Next week there' will be another post saying Harris doesn't expect to have any difficulties holding onto the ball with 8-1/2 fingers.
