Can't be any of the on-air talent. Chris Parker's the only one who has any, and they're shrinking too (sort of like sitting next to a nuclear reactor too long). Many of those girls look too intelligent to be affilated with 'GR. I wonder what their Wonderlic's are?? BTW, I need Sara from Wilson (how appropriate) to turn around before I vote...

Amen to that...

It actually was nominated for an Academy Award for special effects. Lost out to Cleopatra, however.

Yep. Sure made TT's night a lot easier.

You have to consider the context of when it was made...1963. The cold war, the beginning of the "is man destroying the planet?" movement, etc. Coupled with the fact that (like all AH films) it was original--unlike what we get today: the regurgitation of the same stories over and over. By today's standards it's pretty low tech. But in '63 I'll wager no one had ever seen anything like it before.

I kept waiting for the !@#$ cam shot of TB, so we could get the real "inside" scoop on his comeback....

Tough to stiff arm a guy going for the legs. Murph and AVP even commented on it...said DBs have learned they can't go high on WM or they're going to get a big punch in the face.

My vote: Not offering Hot Pockets as a staple item on the RWS concession menu...

Buffalo News--January 11, 2004 "It looks like a three-man race for head coach of the Buffalo Bills, and a decision probably will come this week. The Bills' brain trust spent the past two days analyzing the information gathered from seven interviews of head-coaching candidates. The three likeliest choices to succeed Gregg Williams still appear to be former Chicago head coach Dick Jauron, Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey and New England offensive coordinator Charlie Weis. Jauron has a distinct advantage over the three other candidates with defensive backgrounds -- New England coordinator Romeo Crennel, Bills coordinator Jerry Gray and St. Louis coordinator Lovie Smith. Jauron has five years of head coaching experience. Crennel, Gray and Smith never have been head coaches. Mularkey and Weis have an edge over the other offensive candidate, ex-New York Giants coach Jim Fassel, according to league and team sources. Fassel was declining in the Bills' assessment before his interview. His standing was not improved after his meeting in Buffalo on Tuesday, according to a source in the Fassel camp and league sources. Bills President and General Manager Tom Donahoe has not ruled out the possibility of conducting a second stage of interviews. However, if a second round isn't needed, a decision could come as early as Monday. The victory by the Patriots Saturday night probably hurts the chances of Weis. He has been off-limits to the Bills since Jan. 3, and no team can have contact with him until after the Pats are eliminated from the playoffs. Donahoe's first session with Bill Belichick's aide nine days ago was not believed to be more than a few hours long because Weis was busy preparing for the playoffs. Neither Weis nor Crennel has been able to meet Bills owner Ralph C. Wilson Jr. It could be Feb. 2 -- after the Super Bowl -- before the Bills can contact Weis again. The risk in waiting that long is other candidates -- such as Mularkey -- could get hired by another team. And the field of potential assistants will be thinner at that time, since the other teams that have changed coaches will have made most of their hires." IMO, TD picked MM because of his experience with GW when it came to hiring assistants. Most of the good ones were gone by the time GW was named HC--and we saw the mess that caused (Ronnie fricken' Vinklarek!!) If TD had had more patience, maybe we'd have Weis to kick around today...

Hey, you're being much too logical for the main board. Better jump back the OT forum....

Newsflash: Successful people want to play in the spotlight, not in a backwater media market. The Tuna's a guy who plays on a "big stage" and can call whatever tune he wants. Short of giving him an equity stake in the team, there was nothing that would've attracted him to Buffalo. As for Weis, he now has a better gig than any NFL HC. Why would he ever give that up?

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04016/262080.stm "It appears Cowher has won the tug of war with Buffalo to hire Dick LeBeau as his defensive coordinator as soon as today. LeBeau, who was defensive coordinator of the Steelers in the 1990s when he was an assistant coach under Cowher for five years, was the subject of intense salesmanship by the Steelers and new Bills coach Mike Mularkey, Cowher's former offensive coordinator." I believe Lebeau chose the Steelers because it would allow him to be closer to some family members who live in PGH.

I think many of the more even handed folks have just stopped posting over on the main board. It's just too much Sturm und Drang by the Hot Pockets set...

I think your game is slipping, too....

Draft for positional need, even if the player's grade doesn't warrent it, and you get Eric Flowers. Nuff' said.

uh huh.... one more ignore

I wouldn't be calling Liam a scrub...he might punch ya!

We tried this at a Pats game, but Brady wouldn't look our way,

Think Gregg Williams will get one....

IMO, Horton would still be up there, even if he hadn't had the accident. He was one of the best D-men of his era and was a rock for the Sabres, even playing in his twilight years. He mentored Jim Schoenfeld and was the leader of a defense that improved rapidly over the team's first three years. Here's some interesting background on why Horton was so admired: Tim Horton was born in Cochrane, Ontario on January 12, 1930. He was signed by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1949 and performed as one of the steadiest defencemen on the blueline throughout his 22 years in the National Hockey League. He played in 1,446 regular season games, scoring 115 goals and 403 assists for a total of 518 points. He played 17 full seasons and 3 partial seasons for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He served a short stint with the New York Rangers before being traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins. His final years in hockey were with the Buffalo Sabres, where he played a major role in developing the team’s younger players. Tim Horton played on four Stanley Cup teams, was an All-Star player six times, and was honoured in 1969 with the J.P. Bickell Memorial Cup in recognition of his outstanding service to the Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey Club. George Armstrong says of Tim, “No finer person, teammate or hockey player ever lived.” In Bobby Hull’s words, “Few players brought more dedication or honour to the game. He was my idea of a pro.” One of the most heartfelt tributes came from Punch Imlach, then of the Buffalo Sabres. Tim played for Imlach in Toronto during the glory years of the 1960's, and when Buffalo had a chance to pick him up, Imlach didn’t hesitate. “I know he was the backbone of our team in Buffalo”, said Imlach. “(His death) was a terrible loss, not only to his family and the team, but to the game of hockey.” Gordie Howe has called Tim Horton hockey’s strongest man. In a fight, Horton was known to edge into the melee and “grab a couple” of players to help keep the peace. But despite his legendary strength, he was not a proponent of violence on the ice. Some claim Tim invented the slap shot, and he could always be counted on to get the puck out of his own end of the ice with his “heads up” skating style.

What's the problem...John Guy's just doing his job of keeping a "ready list" of available street FAs who could be signed in an emergency. This kind of stuff happens all season. I can't help wondering why so many people are quick to find fault with every little thing on this and other forums anymore. What happened to just enjoying the game and being a fan?

It pains me enormously...but I have to agree with him. While Sam Adams is just exploding on every snap, it seems he's guessing as much as reading which way the play is going. When he's right, it's a big stop and "show time." When he's wrong, the runner has a big lane and looks like OJ in his prime. We all know about SA's tirad last year about being pulled on obvious passing downs. I wonder if he's freelancing more than he should because he knows he won't be pulled due to the depth situation?

One big problem with their logic--with each passing day, radio (except for the actual play-by-play) is becoming more and more irrelevant. When TSW and boards like this florish, it eliminates the middle man. Who needs a "host" when you can have a community....

Anybody that hosts a sports talk show on WGR makes about $20,000 per year...who has the last laugh Mikey???

The funniest part is to watch him be this meek, mild little Casper Milktoast-kind of guy on his Sunday night TV gig on WGRZ....then act like hot **** on the radio. Don't give up the day job, Mike...
