  1. "One New York man arrived shortly after 5 p.m. seeking to break the endurance six-and-a-half hour record set at last year's event. The rules allow for a five-minute break every hour." I'd be very happy to see SF fall into the ocean and join Atlantis in the history books...
  2. LOL! Who else in the front office really matters as long as the head coach and the GM are on the same page! Florio's site is a crock. KFFL has everything he has, without all the BS commentary.
  3. Are you kidding me! This site's just a fanzine...the guy (kid?) probably is confusing Henry with some other player. The NFL is pretty up front about disclosing injuries and there's never been a whif of this kind of problem associated with TH. Garbage in..garbage out Internet site.
  4. They just sleep there during the season...no need to pay big WNY property taxes!
  5. http://news.yahoo.com/photo/050531/photos_...HYzBHNlYwN0bXA- I guess this makes up for the NHL lockout!
  6. The Panthers are my darkhorse landing spot for Travis. Their backfield is really a question mark right now: http://www.journalnow.com/servlet/Satellit...s=1037645509200 "....The same can't yet be said of running back Stephen Davis, whose status for the coaching sessions and beyond remains in a state of limbo as he continues to attempt a comeback from tricky microfracture knee surgery. If Davis can't go, what's going to happen at running back? Don't forget that one of the other marquee injured players from a year ago is running back DeShaun Foster, who is eager to disprove the theory that he is prone to serious injury. If Davis struggles to come back or can't come back at all, Foster will be thrust into the role he's always wanted but hasn't been able to stay healthy long enough to hold onto: featured back. These coaching sessions would be a good start toward proving he's ready to be the man. But if Foster stumbles after missing all of what would have been his rookie season in 2002 with a knee injury and most of last season with a broken collarbone, second-round draft pick Eric Shelton is waiting in the wings - as is the surprising and not-quite-forgotten (at least in the coaching staff's eyes) Nick Goings. Thrust into the unlikely role of featured back last year because of injuries to a host of others, Goings racked up a team-high 821 rushing yards and six touchdowns. He's still around.
  7. I like Van Halen's version of "You really got me" better than the Kinks' original. Apparently, Ray Davies did too.
  8. The average ticket price is $100 for the stadium shows (with the "cheap" seats going for $60). http://www.billboard.com/bb/daily/article_...t_id=1000913496 Given that the tour's during the football season, there don't appear to be many open dates that would work at RWS. The only possibility might be September 17-18 (the Bills are at Tampa that weekend): Aug. 21: Boston (Fenway Park) Aug. 26: Hartford, Conn. (Rentschler Stadium) Aug. 28: Ottawa, Ont. (Frank Clair Stadium) Aug. 31: Detroit (Comerica Park) Sept. 3: Moncton, N.B. (Magnetic Hill) Sept. 6: St. Paul, Minn. (Xcel Energy Center) Sept. 8: Milwaukee (Bradley Center) Sept. 10: Chicago (Soldier Field) Sept. 15: East Rutherford, N.J. (Giants Stadium) Sept. 24: Columbus, Ohio (Nationwide Arena) Sept. 26: Toronto (Rogers Centre) Sept. 28: Pittsburgh (PNC Park) Oct. 1: Hershey, Pa. (Hershey Stadium) Oct. 3: Washington, D.C. (MCI Center) Oct. 6: Charlottesville, Va. (Scott Stadium) Oct. 10: Philadelphia (Wachovia Center) Oct. 15: Atlanta (Philips Arena) Oct. 17: Miami (American Airlines Arena) Oct. 19: Tampa, Fla. (St. Pete Times Forum) Oct. 21: Charlotte, N.C. (Charlotte New Arena) Oct. 28: Calgary (Pengrowth Saddledome) Oct. 30: Seattle (Key Arena)
  9. I doubt it. The jocks would be dropping hints like crazy about a "major announcement" and they're not. I've been listening all day at work (working on a holiday sucks!). Cindy Chan just mentioned the Toronto show and didn't sound like she was keeping a secret. It was really funny when Cindy said the Toronto show was at a venue she'd never heard of...the Rogers Center! (earth to Cindy, they play baseball there!). I also listen to Q107, the classic rock station in TO, and they've not said anything about another show. The Q will have the first word on any rehersal shows, however, so I'm keeping my ear to the ground to see the Stones might be playing a club show or two "up north!"
  10. Here's Stanley! http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/members/stanley.asp Here's a profile of his district. Sure seems like they have a lot more pressing issues to deal with: http://www.njvoterinfo.org/dp/district28.html This district, which includes much of the City of Newark, has the largest African-American population of all 40 legislative districts, with 52.3% of its population as reported in the 2000 US Census. The district also had the highest total tax rate and highest local tax rate as compared to the assessed valuation of real property. It is the third highest in population density, and the fifth highest in municipal budget spending per capita. School performance as measured by standard state student tests administered in 2001 and 2000 also ranks next to last among the 40 districts despite high levels of state financial aid. The district is strongly Democratic, with 38 percent of registered voters compared to 10 percent Republicans in 2001.
  11. It's no different than serving alcohol to minors at parties like this. You see lots of stories about dumb parents/guardians being busted for doing that. If it was only family members present, that's one thing. But when invited guests who're minors are there, it's a crime (even more so, given the skanky stripper they hired ).
  12. Funny, but I don't recall seeing this info in the Buffalo News. Is Allen holding out on us! Bills | Everett Surgery Update - from www.KFFL.com Sun, 29 May 2005 16:57:11 -0700 Allen Wilson, writing for the Sporting News, reports Buffalo Bills rookie TE Kevin Everett's (knee) operation to repair a torn ACL in his left knee did not require the major reconstruction surgrey that other Bills have had to have. The team hasn't ruled out the possibility that he'll return before the upcoming season is over, although that may be optimistic. If the Bills other tight ends can come back healthy, there will be less pressure to get Everett back on the field.
  13. Hard to believe this guy's from Jersey. The legend of the Jersey Devil has existed for over 265 years and is well known to most long-time residents. http://njdevilhunters.com/legend.html I guess New Jersey legislators are like their New York counterparts...too much time on their hands and an emphasis on PR rather than real accomplishments.
  14. Dan Wheldon (the winner) weighs 157 pounds. http://www.danwheldon.com/driver_profile.cfm Vitor Meira (the runner-up) weighs 141 pounds http://www.rahal.com/drivers/meira/index.jsp Bryan Herta (3rd place) weighs 155 pounds http://www.indycar.com/drivers/driver.php?driver=198 Danica (4th) weighs 100 pounds http://www.rahal.com/drivers/patrick/index.jsp In addition, Tony Kanaan (the pole sitter) weighs 145 pounds. See a trend here, Robbie! LOL!
  15. Hey, it's sort of like the old saying: "If you gotta ask the price..." It's a place that doesn't need much advertising, apparently! http://www.miamilifestyle.com/listings/Fea...do.ASP?FAID=558 Here's the penthouse...Not too shabby for $3 million! http://www.rexhamilton.com/ritzcarlton.htm
  16. Looks like you're well on your way! Happy hollidays. http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?act=S...ult_type=topics
  17. I agree. While I, too, am getting a little tired of all the Wyche-JP stories, I think the fact he wasn't rushed into the lineup last year is a big plus. IMO, the QB development process is 80% mental, with off-the-field study, preparation and filmwork being the key to success in most cases (yes, I realize there'll always be guys with superior physical tools like Vick who can succeed--for a short while, anyway--on raw talent alone, or anomilies like Big Ben, but these seem to be the exceptions that make the rule). JP's work ethic and dedication to developing the mental side of his game are the most encouraging thing about his "red shirt" year. While I know how much many TSW-er's dislike him, I see some similarities to Tom Brady in JP. Brady played in one regular season game his rookie year (let's discount the playoffs for the sake of argument), then became the starter in year-two. Maybe a better comparison is Daunte Culpeper, who also played in a single game his rookie year and was the starter in year-two. Culpeper threw 33 TDs to just 16 picks and had a QB rating of 98 in his first full season. Or how about Brett Favre, who played in two games his rookie year at Atlanta and started 13 the next year in GB? Drew Brees (1 game in year one, 16 starts years 2)? The opposite scenario: Kyle Boller who started 9 games his rookie year (on a pretty good Ravens team) and has been "average" at best so far. Byron Leftwich (13 starts in year one), Jake Plummer (9 starts), the list goes on and on. I think JP has a very good chance of joining the "success stories" due to all the off-season work he's putting in. Only 100 days to go to see if this is the case!
  18. Yep, the $665K Wiillis paid was for the lowest-priced unit at the Ritz. Most of the listings were for $800k to $1.3 million.
  19. Why is it always guys with fewer than 50 posts that "break" these kind of stories??? This sounds like the last three times someone had inside info on guys the Bills were going to sign (Hey Mr. Larry, what do you hear?)!
  20. It's right across the hall from this one. Must not have as nice a view...but I'd take it! http://miami.condocompany.com/Coconut-Grov...arlton/M990283/ And the taxes are only $7,491! They'd probably be three times that much in WNY.
  21. Oh, those wacky French Canadian women...
