  1. Ace Rothstein fired dancers from the Tangiers who were too fat. So whats the problem here?
  2. Have you seen the books? How do you come up with this figure? How do you know he didnt try? And how do you know that revenue from naming rights would exceed revenue the Toronto series brought in? Opening up new local revenue streams locally is a ploy to help move the team away from those streams? Huh? Bills season ticket subscruptions from CA are UP from 11% to 20% of total since the series started. Theres also a "rumor" that Rob Johnson is coming back to the Bills. I read it! Figures, please. So "blasphemous" that the NFL team considered the crown jewel of the league had an out of town home game played for over 60 years, INCLUDING playoff games. So the team DOESNT need to remain viable? OK, Chuck.
  3. Yeah.....good luck finding an ownership group looking to shell out a billion dollars for an NFL team and then run it as a non-profit.
  4. Pure opinion...plain and simple... Some FACTS, please.....pulled from Wiki.... The National Football League's Green Bay Packers played two or three home games per year at Milwaukee County Stadium from 1953 to 1994, after using Wisconsin State Fair Park in nearby West Allis and also Marquette Stadium. The Packers compiled a 76–47–3 (.617) mark in 126 regular-season County Stadium contests over 42 seasons. County Stadium hosted at least one pre-season game annually during this time as well (except 1983), including the Upper Midwest Shrine Game. Financial considerations prompted the Packers to move some of their games to Milwaukee starting with the 1933 season. However, by 1995, multiple renovations to Lambeau Field made it more lucrative for the Packers to play their full home slate in Green Bay again for the first time since 1932.[30] Former Milwaukee ticket holders were offered tickets at Lambeau to one pre-season game and games 2 and 5 of the regular season schedule, in what is referred to as the "Gold package." The Minnesota Vikings (15 times) were the Packers' most frequent foe at County Stadium, as the Packers would traditionally host at least one divisional rival from the NFC Central in Milwaukee each season. Only once, however, did the Packers play their ancient arch-rivals, the Chicago Bears, in Milwaukee, defeating the Bears 20–3 in 1974. On November 26, 1989, a County Stadium record crowd of 55,892 saw the Packers beat the Vikings, 20–19.[31] The Packers' final game at County Stadium was a 21–17 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on December 18, 1994; with fourteen seconds left, the winning 9-yard touchdown run was scored by quarterback Brett Favre. Coincidentally, Atlanta was Favre's first NFL address in 1991, and the city to which the baseball Braves moved almost three decades earlier. The Packers also hosted one NFL playoff game at County Stadium, the December 23, 1967 Western Conference Championship against the Los Angeles Rams.[32] By beating the Rams 28–7, the Packers would face the Dallas Cowboys in the famed Ice Bowl at Lambeau 8 days later.
  5. I heard last night on "the evil Fox News" that about 40% of the illegal aliens in this Country are not border jumpers, but people overstaying their Visas. Thats amazing. Either way, I really am bullish on the Senate's plan. It seems like if written and executed as intended, its a very common sense approach to the issue of immigration.
  6. Could you please explain this?
  7. Chinooks is good and on the Fisherman's wharf up there. You can walk around the docks and check out all the fishing boats, including some of the Deadliest Catch boats, depending on time of year, and then go have dinner.
  8. Ill remember this post when I call some left wing hole a foul name and you run here to scold me on use of "tone" or you chime in on the fake "war on women." !@#$ing hypocrite.
  9. Greg Maddux did the same thing. So did Pedro Martinez. Didnt affect them one bit.
  10. Not to interrupt everyone's pity-party "Bills Suck" circle-jerk, but none other than the "Gold Standard" of NFL teams, the Green Bay Packers, split games with Milwaukee for oh....sixty years or so, including their most storied time period, the entire Vince Lombardi era. Im not a big fan of the series either, but stop with this "its indicative of a loser franchise" rubbish.
  11. Easy to say its about "greed" and "$$$$" but guess what? The football team lives and breathes and stays sustainable thanks to those "eeeevil" greenbacks....not wampum. Count me among those who see this as a necessary evil.
  12. Dont you have a pickup load of cowshit to deliver to some moonshinin' redneck down the road or something?
  13. Theres a whole !@#$ing thread over at OTW dedicated to riling me up. The maturity level of this place stinks. If you take it seriously, youre !@#$ed. Or an !@#$.
  14. I have two "warning" points, but considering my chosen persona here is one of antagonistic jackass, I consider them medals of accomplishment. But being an inquisitive chap, I looked at my "warning" points history and on Aug 22, Simon "warned" me for bringing my "political garbage outside of PPP." Yet, when searching for the offending post, I find none. In fact, the only posts I made at that time outside of PPP was a comment about how Russell Brand sucks and a second about Derek Jeter and PEDs. Simon...could you please clarify what post I was "warned" about political stuff outside of PPP for? With all seriousness, Id really like to know. Youve "warned" me for this and now publicly used it as an example to refute an assertion I made abour moderation work. So please provide the backup evidence so the record can be set straight. Thanks!
  15. "my political garbage" "completely full of ****" Aaaaand......Thank you for confirming my point (and Tom's)! Your biases and temper are well known. Its OK. We all have biases. But with all due respect, youre fooling noone. Hey, isnt getting around the language filter against board rules?
  16. Maybe its just me waxing romantic from being a kid, but didnt the players actually at least TRY in the Pro Bowl "back in the day?"
  17. I found about ten examples of Pollard acting like a human missle, but the TSW board software wont allow me to post them.
  18. Alex Jones is the Ron Paul of political pundits. He makes sense...makes sense...makes sense....makes A LOT of sense.....gets you to buy in..and then WHAMMO....hits you with the looney bin ****.
  19. YOU said that the GOP "spit" on everyone they dont like vis a vis foreign policy. I pointed out an effort by a GOP Administration to give HUGE sums of money to an overseas cause voluntarily. And more, to those "brown people" the GOP supposedely hates so much. So what was stupid about it? Please. Explain.
  20. Thats why Bush gave tens of million of dollars in aid to Africa for AIDS research.
  21. Becuase we are Bills fans and if we dont have some mindless thing to nitpick at....(headsets, headbands, gloves, cereal, speech ticks) its not fun.
  22. Who is going to be the first retard to say the Republicans were "sexist" today for going after Hillary?
  23. So she, and the Administration, stall and stonewall and put her off from testifying until now. And then when she finally gets up there, today, her answer to the questions is "'What difference, at this point, does it make?'" Un!@#$ingreal.
