  1. When I was living in Seattle, DirectTV had a deal where you could buy an additional "sports package,": for +$5 a month. Included in that was Empire Sports Network. That was mid 90's when the Dominator & Satan were playing, with the Goat Head unis. Good times. We also got Hockey Nigh in Canada, from Vancouver. Now I'm in Virginia, and DirectTV has nothing like that here.
  2. As usual, they don't ask us, and will do as they want, so why worry?
  3. The Draft is always such a crap shoot. Despite all the pre-draft speculation and research, you still are taking a huge chance on whomever you decide on. As with most of today, much more political than practical.
  4. ....S U N D A Y.....N I A G A R A!!
  5. Wheelchair races coming soon.
  6. I'm not a baseball fan, but we did live in Seattle 86-03, and was there when Ichi broke in. Couldn't believe that he's still playing. The couple times that I did see him, he was amazing.
  7. That's sad, knowing that the kid was diagnosed with PTSD, and we still lost her. RIP
  8. He has a plea deal. Plead guilty, pay a fine, and it's over as far as the law is concerned BUT if he pleads guilty, what would the League have to say about it? Would he still be a "fit" owner, or would they force him out? Florida has "sunshine laws" so whatever video evidence that exists will be released, sooner or later. Parkland school shootings, Pulse nightclub etc., all got released.and they were much higher profile than this.
  9. Did they have pictures of Hitler on them? Have not been there in 45 years but I understand that the neighborhood has changed, now overrun with extremists, and maybe not a good place to be knocking around?
  10. Anyone that says they were there AND says they remember are not to be believed.
  11. Born in Buffalo. The BILLS started when I was still in school.
  12. Couldn't find any ***** willows?
  13. I'm calling Congressman Hank Johnson right now. He will solve this for us.
  14. I'm looking for my old jersey right now.
  15. Crime may not pay, but usually you can do better than that.
  16. Way past time to dissolve this agency. They have lost all trust & respect.
  17. Several years ago, while living in Seattle, my Grandmother passed away, in Buffalo. I decided not to take the normal connection thru O'Hare but to take Air Canada non-stop Seattle-Toronto. Got to Toronto, in the middle of the SARS virus scare. Everyone was wearing surgical masks. Afraid to even touch a door to open it. Got my rental car, as we were leaving the garage, I realized that the speedometer had the small numbers for KPH, I'm 6'1, so i lowered the steering wheel to better see the little numbers. Got to the QEW, everything OK till Burlington, then we're stopped in bumper to bumper traffic. While we're stopped, some hoser rams into the back of our rental car. That drove us into the back of a van in front of us. PERFECT!! Our air bags deployed, my wife thought we were on fire, because of smoke. I told her NOT to get out. The "smoke" was residual accelerent powder from the airbags. Smelled pretty bad too! Because I had lowered the steering wheel, the airbag didn't hit my face, but I took it full force across my chest. Felt like a huge hard hand slap. My wife, got a bruise where her seat belt buckled. The OPP pointed out that the rear bumper of our car had a mirror image of the license plate from front bumper from the Bozo who hit us.i My lasting regret is that I didn't demand a blood/alcohol test for the hoser. But, it was Canada, and I didn't know what my "rights" may be, and we still had to get to Buffalo. We stood at the side of the QEW for 2-3 hours till a replacement rental car showed up. Our rental was totaled, damage to both ends. Our windshield broke, from the inside, where the little airbag door drove itself into the glass. Got sued by the *****'s in the van for $2 mil. The insurance company said we were "the meat in the accident sandwich," and not to worry. They wanted to bring me back to Toronto, for a deposition, till they found out how much it would cost to get us there/back. That was the end of that ordeal. We rented the car because, at that time, there were no flights from Toronto to Buffalo. Looks like that's true today too!
  18. Not that I'd want him BUT, I'd rather have him than Derek Anderson.
