Marv's Neighbor

I gave President Ford a ride home from Dulles Airport. The 70's were different times. No hanger-on's to meet him. Times were tough in the 70's and Nixon would fly commercial IAD-LAX where the USMC chopper would take him down to El Toro, where a limo would take him on to San Clemente. That was a couple yers before Ford was President. I remember him telling me what a great person Richard Nixon was. I never cared for Richard Nixon so I just let him talk. Ford was a very nice down to earth guy, not at all like what we have today. I met all the 2008 Presidential Candidates. Obama was such a phoney! He had a chartered 757 that had an executive seating configuration between doors 1 & 2 but from door 2 to the tail it was a cattle car. He used to have his publicity pictures taken in the cattle car section, giving the impression that he was hard working but he rode up front! McCain is even older looking in person. Sarah Palin was the only one I saw that at least gave the impression that she gave a sh*t about people. Just my impression!

I would but it's an SUV and my back/knees are not what they used to be.

You're right about the prices but when I go back for my "free tire rotation" they want a 3-4 hour wait. There's no way I'd leave my wife in Costco for that long. There's no such thing as Free!

Next thing they'll go after is Donut Holes! Leave my Sahlens alone!

I've never lived there but did spend 4 years in Texas, Houston specifically, and that is the true butt-hole of N Americae! I'd take the KFC spot at Breezewood over Texas!

This is pay-back for the Lamonica/Tom Flores "trade."

Only if they're in the End Zone, or on the Corners!

In this case it was much more meaningful and memorable because we won with "Amateur" talent. They were "our" kids, and they beat their Pros. Truly a great game!

I never knew Elton was a Theologian!

Anything outside THE CITY!

Can you say Billy Joe Hobert?

Why not put your Garmin in your Buddy's SUV and set up a GPS Cat Fight when they argue about the directions?

I think your "redo" is a realistic option and worth considering. Lambeau is a differant animal though. The "ownwers" are the Fans and the locals so naturally they will support the facility. Even when they sucked, the stadium was full! It was full of unhappy Cheeseheads, but still full People can talk all they want about a "new" stadium but bottom line is where would the funding come from? I'd like a new Lexus, even one with a "sticky" gas pedal, but it ain't happenin because I CAN'T AFFORD IT! The property owners are already maxed out, and if you ask them, they're paying a whole lot of money for very little services. The Corportate sponsors are scarce. M&T Bank put their name in Baltimore????? HSBC is already hooked up with the Sabres. JetBlue has their name up but they're likely moving their corporate HQ to Orlando, to get away from the high NY Taxes. If you take "Stimulus Money," which seems to be a myth, we'll end up with bare bones low quality crap because so many contractors & union bosses will take their cuts before a shovel is turned anywhere. So that brings us back to "redo" and it may be a viable option.

Wouldn't want to be behind him in an Emergency. The over-wing exits on a 737 would definately not work for him.

It's definately not near Texas, the water's way to clear.

Maybe it Should be an event. They could hold it in the Southtowns. No need to truck snow in like the hosers in BC!

That's how we go THE ROCKPILE & the AUD in the 30's!

87-74??? I was concerned about NU going in but this is a great win! If I lived in or near WNY I would have been there! NU 69 Grad.

I hope Global Warming does not kick in or you guys will be treading water!

I don't own/drive a Toyota but find it odd that such a popular brand is "suddenly" having all these "problems" now that their competition in the USA is the US Government. Not to say some of the stuff isn't legit but most people, given a choice, would still buy one over a competitor that employs Mr. Goodwrench!

I always thought it came down to Coaching. Losman was over coached by way too many people. Edwards could still develop depending on how he is coached this season. I'm not a big fan of either but I still think Edwards has some upside given a good Offensive Line and some quality Coaching.

I can't believe he's 80? Get Well Soon!

It's all about demographics. WHO has the money? WHO can afford to attend a Super Bowl Game? If the Stadium was not packed, what kind of message would that send regarding the popularity of the game? Until that changes we're stuck with the WHO etc. I though the Half Time Show was a joke. The sets were superior but the WHO???? Better they had performed behind a wall or curtain because looking at them was absolutely laughable. The only thing that was missing was a "wardrobe" failure!

Just doing NASA's work!

BOOK'EM DANO!
