  1. easy there sparky,....you are only allowed one news flash per thread.
  2. precisely why the lunatic left wants to do away with the electoral college. you are right about the NYS = NYC conception to anyone outside of NY. i have traveled all over the country and when i tell them i am from Upstate New York, the typical response is..."oh....city boy huh?"
  3. it took me a second......to realize that said 2007. when i saw Brady Quinn the light went on. Then is saw #1 pick, and realized....eh,...not so good.
  4. Nick I am sorry to hear that. Be strong for your wife!
  5. i doubt it. but maybe. if so, he won't be available until the summer as a preseason cut.
  6. one of the things that is breaking the backs of Rural upstate New Yorkers is the attempt of some of the school systems to push through bond votes for astronomical numbers. many of the rural schools were built in the pre 1950's and are falling apart. do they need new facilities? Sure they do....it is the new atheletic fields and entertainment auditoriums they keep including in their agendas that voters are balking at. quite often the deals are pushed in the winter months when most senior citizens are in the south. i have seen a number of battles where school boards have been extremely decieptful on how much of the burden will fall on them and how much the federal or state govt will pick up on the tab. i think they are finding out it is the kids who are getting pushed through school systems now based on their high/lo self esteem philiosophy... may not be too bright. however the old timers who have been around awhile are a little sharper than they anticipated and not taking anyone's word for what is being stated on the budgets.
  7. what did you do with Soprano?????
  8. "Smoke and Mirror" programs. On the campiagn trail doing a lot of talking and not saying anything. As evidenced by the bold link to his agenda and plans for NY State. Sure,...he is real clear what he is going to do. Spitzer 2006 About as clear as the IRS tax code.
  9. actually as usual you are wrong. Rochester although has lost people isn't crummy. and is far being a wasteland. it is going through a growth spurt drawing new business and also seeing current businesses expand.
  10. don't they train you to be careful around the stove???
  11. by the time i was old enough he was dead.
  12. when i was 12 i wrote a letter to Patrick McGroder asking him for a job with the organization. he wrote a personal letter back to me thanking me for my interest and to get back to him when i was a little older. he included a media guide. i thought it was the greatest thing ever!
  13. an account manager for a computer technology company. been here for 11 years....and now thinking it is time for something new. MCPc
  14. he is close to being correct. the area's off the thruway are upscale compared to the counties just south and north of the thruway. Yates, Otsego, Schoharie Madison counties.....look like the wealthy older brother of Appalachia. The rural communitites of Upstate are really in trouble and have been over the last 40 years as nearly all the farms have gradually shut down the problem is that most democratic programs he intends to put in place will only make it worse.
  15. i don't care what kind of dress and make up you put on your spin.....it is not "banned".
  16. So the Bills are still holding onto Eric Moulds. I know there are a few posts of rumors he was cut today. If it came down between keeping Eric Moulds and not signing Ryan Pickett, or releasing Moulds to provide more money to draw Pickett in, which would you choose? Personally, I would have cut Moulds a month ago and signed Pickett.
  17. Child Porn Ring Busted This is some kind of bad joke! i say a quick and speedy trial, and right off to the firing squad....and let the birds eat their remains.
  18. Chad Greenaway at #31? What High School amateur put that mock draft together?????
  19. "rookie" looks like it will work just fine.
  20. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED !!!!
  21. He wasn't very expensive.
  22. I thought this guy was a bit of an underachiever so i am not disappointed the Bills didn't sign him, however i am a little suprised i never saw any mention of him. i am really interested to see what the Bills have planned for upgrading their OL.
