  1. I used to love the Turtle restaurant; onion soup was absolutely wonderful. You are right about the park being old. It is New York's oldest state park established in 1885. Canadian side had advantages in beginning for development. Aid provided by Canadian government, Niagara Falls being one of the more southern points in Canada hence attractive to Canadian groups and of course the dollar - lunnie ratio.
  2. Poor old Danny must be going broke http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3821663 Washington Post requires registration: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...956.html?sub=AR The Redskins declined to comment. The team's media guide lists 143 positions in its section devoted to non-football staff. Several of those let go on Wednesday said Chief Operating Officer Mitch Gershman told them the team was shedding about 30 employees because of financial difficulties caused by the economy and a decrease in revenue. "Mitch said that the revenue from tickets and season tickets was not where it needs to be," said one employee who was let go on Wednesday. "It's going to be really tough for the people who are still there, because we were all already wearing two to three hats. Now, they're all going to be wearing four to six hats, and the compensation is not changing. I guess that's typical when businesses do this kind of thing, but that doesn't make it any easier." As a condition of their benefits and severance packages, outgoing employees must sign an agreement precluding them from speaking publicly about the organization or the conditions of their departure. Several did speak on the condition of anonymity, however.
  3. Grand Island, NEBRASKA not Grand Island, NEW YORK http://airlines.priceline.com/airlines/gra...al-airport.html Yeah I know it is called Great Lakes but Mesa was used already.
  4. Corrected for you. If those advocates did not exist more people would state the Emperor has no clothes.
  5. Too bad I would not mind if they laid off entire editorial staff other than Tom Toles.
  6. I think he will end up in New England or Miami next year - both teams are arrogant enough to think they can reform him.
  7. Agree trade the prima donna but Bills should be aiming for 1st and extra picks - someone is stupid enough to over pay for one year talent every year.
  8. Several times during the game Manning had to wait for call to come in so your odds claim has little water. Dungy did not make the call because the OC does.
  9. Agree, Those two players were amazing. Turner played the game for field position and had exactly the weapons he needed for it.
  10. I have seen it for sale as two separate disk sets which is why some may be confused. I went to purchase it from one site and realized I was getting only half a season and lots of commentary. From IMDB: View by: Episodes: All (27) Season: 1 Year: 1993 | 1994
  11. You seem to have gotten your chips from Matt Millen. Wire was covering TEs and RBs and his name was not called because he made no mistakes. He made plenty of tackles including one-on-one on RBs unlike other players who had tackles broken and required gang tackles.
  12. They choose to reduce crew of 5 to 3 on 2nd half-time show and kept Matt Millen. Time to tear up TV Guides and mail them to NBC! Threaten to boycott NBC! Start online petition site NoMoreMattMillen.com.
  13. None of the recent ex-coaches are as bad as some here try to claim. Bills fan tend to be very extreme unfortunately like electorates during primaries. Even Danny Smith learned from his mistakes although I would not classify him as a top 20 coach for his position.
  14. Nope. Long season (27 episodes) but broadcast from 27 August 1993 to 20 May 1994.
  15. Do not confuse Dr Troothless with facts.
  16. Did you input into selection of coaches and GMs?
  17. Is this a bell shaped curve, a college grading curve, a high school curve or what? Pretty harsh at several points (F and A were too easily given depending upon whether liked ratee). I'd also have given a couple of I's.
  18. Arizona runs a different style of blocking which suits Gandy's skills a lot more than Buffalo's blocking. He also had a QB able to get rid of the ball which makes a big difference. Wire was handling the RBs and TEs and was playing very well when he was in. Solid tackling when he was one-on-one. They pulled him on obvious passing downs for extra DB.
  19. Gandy played handled John Abraham like he was a college player and was great run blocking as well. Abraham was having his best season but was neutralized.
  20. What an incredible sales idea - bring back former players for one day and let all of the anti-fans go just to cheer against the players. That would fill the stadium!
  21. I'd rather he just ignore/delete/berate comments from the bozos who pretend to be former or current real or retired players / coaches / front office people but otherwise I like it. I think Tim is firm but fair unlike a lot of fanatics.
  22. This is Arizona's first division championship so I believe it is; last previous division championship was when the Cardinals were in Chicago. It probably has more due to economy in general than lack of enthusiasm although end of year collapse certainly is a factor. Personally I think they should have renamed the team when they got a new stadium and declared a era.
  23. I am 47, played where stadium is, watched Bills football off-and-on in 70s when on TV, lost interest when medically I was no longer able to play in high school and picked it up again occasionally in college in 80s. Moved from Buffalo in 85 and was told by a friend who moved to VA in 87 that Bills played every week in bar called Greevey's and was hooked again. Saw live gave for first time in mid-90s, started my own Tribute to Tasker after that game in 95 or 96 and started a Bills Backers chapter in 97. Outlook: My enthusiasm has decreased not just due to the Bills but in change in industry and fandom. Industry has become all about the mighty dollar and how much they can milk fans out of last dollar. "Fans" are no longer traditional fans anymore but couch monkeys who KNOW they know more than professionals because they PROVED it with fantasy football and Madden mixed in with the Anti-Fans who have more enthusiasm during losses for it PROVES their pessimistic outlooks.
  24. "The Adventures of Brisco County Jr." is my first pick. Firefly is a close second.
