Well, this is an unexpected twist on the subject

I think you are referencing the early 60's when Ralph bailed out Al Davis because he couldn't make his payroll. I don't recall him helping out the Pat*s.

Thank You Jimmy , Sincerely Todd Collins

Two Bills Drive Annual Home Opener Tailgate Time Before Doug's Annual Horrible Offerings Tested

Had a great time, thanks for the use of the grill, the corn and ribs (from both Sid and Rags). I saw the ham cooking, but missed getting some after it was cut up. Great to see everyone again,

Then remember to keep your pants on this time

The numbers keep changing as they add more to the site. Frustrating as hell.

Here is some from my group

Get Manziel back pronto!!

Nice to see you again, library open at the prison I see?

I think he is spending time with Tossy McSalad and he is the receiver.

Great news! Looking forward to finally meeting you and providing you with sage advice.

If she is dating Poojer, that's about as big as the smile will get.

I posted this the following morning after the attacks, I had been at the game on Sunday the 9th, and flew in over the trade center that night after the game. golfed with a guy (Patrick O'Shea) who ended up missing that day. this was the account I wrote the morning after: I almost feel ashamed looking at this board, since football is far from my mind right now, but my home page is TBD... When I was on my way to work yesterday, I was on the #1 express from Penn down to WTC, at 14th a couple got on and said they saw a plane hit the trade center, I figured it was a light plane, and continued on. There was an announcement by the conductor that said "Due to a fire at WTC there will be no service to Cortland ave (in the wtc), I got out at chambers street and started walking..as I turned around to face the north tower I saw people just string up in awe..there was a hole in the tower with smoke and flames, I asked some guy what happened and he said, he saw the plane go in.. and then he said 15 minutes later the other tower exploded.. (we were on the north side so he didn't see the 2nd plane , only the impact) I tried my cell phone (no good) so I tried to find a pay phone , I thought of my wife wondering if I was in there, and just the worry that the rest of the family would have when they heard..I was able to get through to her voice mail, and then I called our office on 36th st ( I am a consultant assigned to 4 WTC since last September). The office wanted me to try to locate another employee, and we started using my cell phone with the two way radio feature. I started looping around to the east of the buildings, trying to find my co-worker, as I walked near the post office, I saw debris and broken concrete, small puddles of blood, shoes ,lots of shoes and I picked up a warm hunk of metal ( I have no idea why) it was almost hot and it was heavy and it was oily or greasy... I dropped it when I saw a wheel or turbine that was 20 feet away, high density aluminum about 6 feet wide.... Using my radio to my boss, I kept chatter back and forth and kept moving towards where I figured Marcia would be (we went through the bombing in 93 and had always said, head for the water by the Seaport). Police were busy on Church so I moved to Broadway by J&R Music and continued the radio chatter with my boss, he said Marcia had not checked in yet, keep looking, he also told me he saw video of the 2nd plane as it went in, he said it had been hijacked as well as the first one, he also told be about the Pentagon being hit. I had worked my way to Nassau street, a pedestrian mall about 3 blocks east of the towers. My radio was quirky, sometimes the frequency was jammed, sometimes you could get through, so I told my boss I was going to keep it on once I get a signal. As I was walking up Nassau I left the center of the street and stayed along the storefronts, I was talking to Doug and he heard me say "Oh @#$%^! something's happening, oh my God something went off", and he could hear the rumbling as the first tower went down, I felt a shock wave and wind rush as I ducked into a doorway (from the narrow street you could not see the tower) I knew that one of them had fallen and I assumed it had toppled over like a domino, not the gentle slide that I saw later. The dust and debris cloud came next as I peered out of the doorway the cloud came east towards the Nassau area, I started sprinting north and got one block, as I looked over my left shoulder I saw a huge cloud of debris/dust coming our way, as we ran I saw a woman fall, someone slowed down to help and they were trampled ( I know I should have stopped, but I was thinking about wife, kids etc, and she went down pretty hard) As I rounded the corner near Beekman Hospital emergency personnel were waving us away I zigged through the waiting stretchers, and headed to the Seaport, I slowed down to catch my breath.... The smoke/debris cloud was covering us with something that was making me choke and burning my eyes, it looked like snow... I started towards the Brooklyn Bridge, but I was afraid that if the other tower went it may drop towards us, so I started to go towards Chinatown. As I was walking I remembered my radio.. the (last transmission I sent was Oh my God and the rumbling in the background) when I finally got through my boss was excited, he thought I was a goner. A woman stopped be and asked to borrow the phone, I told her there were no calls in or out, she then started wandering back towards the site and I stopped her and asked what she was doing, "I have to get my pocketbook" I said that would not be a great idea, and I asked her where she lives, we were going the same way and started walking together, we saw a cab (empty) so we got in and the driver said "I'm only going north" (well hello....that was an understatement, who the hell wants to go back there!!!) In the cab, Doug (boss) confirmed that the tower had fallen, we looked back and saw the new skyline with just one tower standing up. A short time later Doug asked where we were, I told him in a cab, and he told us the second tower just went down, we looked out the back window of the cab as the debris and smoke filled the air in the distance. We were up to the village, and I saw the Empire State building looming in the distance.. I told the driver to stop and let me out, the girl (Valerie) said why get out now??? I pointed to the building/target and said"what would be the next landmark to get hit?? I got out and gave the girl some money for the cab , she insisted on paying me back and made me give her my card ( amazing at a time like this the etiquette thing still remains in some people). I started west to avoid the Empire State Building and went around it to get to our office located 2 blocks north of the ESB. I got upstairs and changed, called the wife ( she heard my voice cracking on the messages and she cried every time she heard news of my progress) We watched the news as others straggled in (Marcia had gotten up there too). Once they opened the Long Island Rail Road, I left and got on and headed home.. I never figured out whose shoes those were.. I am home now, and I suggest the following: Don't complain about doing your kids homework. Say I love you whenever possible Try to keep in touch with your loved ones, Whatever you think is very important today, may seem like a pimple on the ass of an elephant tomorrow. God Bless us all Guff

Even at the night game !

Could this be to allow $$ for Coples? I would rather it go for Gilmore, but if they are freeing up some room, this may be a Coples move.

I will be bringing wings and homemade wing sauce, I will be grilling as long as the community grill is available, otherwise, sun dried raw wings will be served.

There is one on 3rd Ave around 55th street in Manhattan. I have used it and honestly, it was pretty good, you can customize the burger and add on all the extras. AT least you know it hasn't been sitting around for 2 hours until you came in. They also give some great options like crunchy onions, mustard and other items that are not standard.

Who is AIO?

I though Gugny played the rusty trombone

Is the community grill still available?

Thanks, I lost the whole rig (pot and basket) in Sandy. I know someone last year had a fantastic rig that worked like a champ. If they are there, I will contribute the wings and the sauce, otherwise I will just grill them like LaNova's. In the summer, some people actually like the grilled wings better.

Yes, I will be there, I don't have the deep fryer anymore, but I will try to grill the wings and I am bringing my homemade sauce

Welcome back Sid, hope to see you 9/15
