Ive heard great things about Fat Tire, havent been able to find it here in WNY though.

So is it over? What did he say?

Didnt mind the Hoaegarden (sp) but didnt really like the corriander taste in it. The Dinosaur serves pints of Blue Moon with a slice of lemon or orange (cant remember) in it. Not too bad. Good beer on a hot day.

Good one!

Will Center Ice be showing ALL of the playoff games? Also, for those of us who can get all the Sabres games on MSG or alternate channel, will the playoff games be shown on those channels?
-
Is it not on DIRECTV? I usually tune in to channel 627 for game, but it says the Islanders are on. Knicks are on MSG. Should be a great game against Ottawa, wanted to watch it.

Thankfully its over. 4-3 over the Bruins. Now lets gear up for the playoffs!

Per ESPN:
He isn't the most heralded defensive line prospect at North Carolina State, but tackle John McCargo, often overshadowed by the Wolfpack's heralded end tandem of Mario Williams and Manny Lawson, isn't quite an unknown, either, to NFL scouts.
McCargo's ascent up draft boards continued this week with a strong performance at the school's pro day workouts, and his audition certainly enhanced the chances that North Carolina State will have three defensive linemen selected in the first round next month. Williams, of course, is a sure bet, an edge player and upfield rusher regarded by many scouts as the premier defensive player in the draft. Lawson is also a pass-rush threat, an outside defender with great explosiveness and closing speed who might best project to linebacker in a 3-4 front.
But the hard-working McCargo, who has fully recovered from a stress fracture in his left foot that sidelined him for five games in 2005, is definitely on the rise. Several scouts now list him as the third-best prospect at tackle, behind only Haloti Ngata of Oregon and Florida State's Brodrick Bunkley. And unlike those two, McCargo is more a one-gap player, capable of compressing the pocket from the inside.
"My game has always been about quickness," McCargo said shortly after a pro day workout in which he clocked a 4.94 in the 40. "I really didn't start playing football until the ninth grade and didn't get serious about it until around my junior year [in high school]. But I was a good baseball player and a pretty good basketball player, and some of the traits from those sports, like hand-eye coordination, things like that, kind of carried over onto the football field and helped me a lot."
Scouts agree that one of McCargo's strong suits is his effective use of his hands, often an oversight by young defenders. Watch him on tape, though, and McCargo's hand speed, and ability to get into a blocker's body, is nearly as impressive as his first step forward. That said, McCargo, an underclass prospect, still is very quick off the ball and keeps his feet moving nicely, even when engaged with an opponent.
At a shade under 6-foot-2 and 305 pounds, McCargo isn't as bulky as some of the other tackle prospects in the 2006 draft class. But several franchises, particularly those seeking a one-gap tackle, have now moved him ahead of players such as Michigan's Gabe Watson, Miami's Orien Harris and Texas' Rodrique Wright. Two general managers asked this week about McCargo had him graded in the lower third of the first round, and acknowledged his stock is rising.
"He's a little different than most of the other [tackles]," one general manager said. "Different in a good sort of way because, if you want the upfield guy and not just the run stuffer, there aren't many tackles like him in this year's draft."
An Academic All-American, and an avid but late-blooming student of the game who is now trying to make up for lost time, McCargo understands that Williams and Lawson, flashier players who merit attention by putting the quarterback on the ground, are going to garner most of the headlines. But he understands, too, that there is a place in the NFL for a guy like himself, a hard-working tackle who has made himself into a player and who will soon reap the rewards.
"It never bothered me that people talked so much about Mario and Manny because, I mean, those guys are incredible players," McCargo said. "Playing out on the edge, making big plays in space, you're naturally going to be drawn to those guys. But I was doing some good things, too, inside, and I think the scouts who have done their homework understand that."

I also think its going to get back to Tony that Vito was planning on taking things over if he(Tony) died. Something will happen to Vito and Paulie soon, I have a feeling. My bet is Paulie gets it first.
-
The Vito hitting on Finn thing also gave me the willies. I love how Finn kept kissing Meadow and wouldnt let go and then she said "Oh he is harmless". What do you think is going to come of Carmela seeing Paulie and Vito's faces as they get on the elevator? Was that Tony's mom standing at Heaven's Gate? I thought it was an excellent episode, looks like things are going to start heating up between the bosses.

Thank you very much. Now, to wondering who the heck she is!

Miller doesnt look too hot in goal. Like the announcer said, he's not tracking the puck at all. That last goal wasnt easy, but he should have stopped it.
-
So is Tony dead? Kinda looked it.

Ok, now I remember. Thanks Campy

Where is Adam Mair? Hurt? Inactive? IR?

I've been watching the game, had to turn it. Their pitching is horrible today and their hitting hasn't been sh-- yet. Yesterday they did have two homeruns (Derek Lee and my boy Chipper) but that's about it. Those Asian teams are putting up crazy numbers--I dont know if we have the bats to do it.

Yeah, I think they are hyping Ed (the red head) up to get his ass beat. I did see the other day though that Tito is regretting not picking him. The show is enjoyable to watch, I cant wait to see Tito destroy Shamrock!
