  1. Joe's Meat market? Was that on Myron?
  2. well said....
  3. Another ex-Kenmore resident checking in here. Longfellow and Washington Elementary schools, followed by Kenmore Junior and the Kenmore West Senior High School. First ten years of my life I lived on Nassau just opposite of the Myron intersection. I even remember my best friends back then, Mark Randazzo, Mark Baumler, and Danny Deese (who as a young man died young from a fall from a ladder if IIRC) and who was about as nice of a guy as I've ever known. Then I moved a few times into and within Tonawanda, then back to Wabash in Kenmore for my late teen years. Kenmore day at Crystal Beach as a kid, Sherkston Quarry in my teen years, and later on the Elmwood strip, Pierce Arrow (Williamsville in the early 80's), Rich (RWS) Stadium, and Pilot Field, all fond memories. To see one's old hometown die the slow painfull death that Buffalo has is very, very sad. We all agree that the total neglect from the State, it's high taxes, and a collection of the most inept politicians known to mankind has forever buried our beloved hometown. So very sad.......
  4. Joe Panos? Played a bit more than that, but did get hurt and was a waste when he was in there anyway.
  5. Good choice, Sestak was compared to Bob Lilly, only stronger, in his prime....
  6. What was Lindell last year? Was it 24 out of 28 attempts? Better than 85% and that stinks? Sure he missed a couple key kicks, especially the big kicks against Pitt, but all kickers miss, even Vinateri from time to time. Sure, he wasn't great, but also not deserving of the wrath he faced last year either. As for MVP, I'd have to agree with AD, even though he could have been far more civil and less arrogant in his opinion, which frequently detracts from many excellent points he makes.
  7. Good reply....
  8. I'll only add that if anoyone can come back after an achilles tendon injury, it would be Spikes. He's a phenomenal athlete, that's for sure. While I loved Cowart. Spikes is much tougher, stronger and moved very well too, and doesn't have the knee injury to overcome as well. Yet, I'd still say the odds are against him and our hopes. Prove us doubters wrong Takeo !!!!
  9. I thought the JP sneak that failed was a bad spot initially, but the replays only showed that he mimicked Travis Henry vs Oakland last year. The turfmonster tripped him up immediately after the snap. Simply put, JP sucked that one up too, no one else.
  10. One thing really stood out yesterday after watching Losman and the Drewster. The Drewster is still an accurate downfield passer when given time. We have to go back to 2002 to see Drew play for the Bills as he did for D yesterday, but he appears to be "reborn" again. Yeah, the pick for a TD was a bad decision, but he played well. Nice game Drew..... JP or Drew, it sure would be nice to have the time to throw that Brady gets most of the time, especially when the worlkd knows he's gonna throw. In those situations, it seems that JP (or Drew) face or faced jailbreaks..... Williams was out, Villariel left again (Preston got whipped horribly by Coleman more than once). Teague was also beaten badly 3-4 times yetsreday. All in all, the line just doesn't pass protect very well. Especially with backups....
  11. Favre - Losman......
  12. I carried a subscription of Shout, beginning in November 1991, and it's replacement "Bills Digest" through the preseason this year. It arrived prior to game day when my subscription first began, but the postal service made a change in how they handled newspapers (or so Shout claimed) in 1992 or 1993 and after that it arrived on the Monday or Tuesday after the previewed game was played, more often than not. I live in Dayton, OH. Frankly, the quality of the paper dropped over the years and as the internet/home PCs flourished with more information available than what Shout/ Bills Digest provided, I finally let it go this year. The last few years it was more a habit (renewing the subscription) than anything else. Yet, I still pick up an old issue from time to time just to relive the days of the K Gun with Kelly, Thomas, and Reed in their prime.
  13. Second time in recent memory I have to agree with AD. Loyalty Avenue has to be a two way street. Employers are only loyal to the bottom line. Even the great Japanese economic machine with lifetime employment has has changed. Like AD said, it is what it is, maybe not what we'd like maybe, but.........
  14. After going 0-4 to start last year, it seems the D and Special teams came up big week after week during the winning streak. Hadn't they, there would have been no 9-7 with a shot at the playoffs. Yeah, they came up a bit flat against Pittsburgh, but every game down the stretch last year was a must win and they came up "BIG"....I guess you can say I don't buy your position.
  15. Haddad again? Jeez, some around here think he was the second coming or something. This guy has been around for what, 4-5 years and he hasn't been able to catch on with anyone yet, save a few plays. Something is missing in his game or he'd be here. How about a moratorium on this subject until or if he ever does anything with any team. Also, if JP's confidence is crushed because he was pulled, then he's not going to make it folks. He was pretty wild out there yesterday. He threw high, low, and into the hands of the defenders. He seems as if he's trying to gun every throw, save the screens.
  16. Ultimate bend but don't break schemes - Walt Corey Hell, Kelso used to play from the parking lot....
  17. After week one: TSW - 1 G.Host - 0 (sorry Glenn, gentleman or not, this Sunday was not kind to your words above).
  18. That is part of their HD deal. In fact, a month back or so, I received the card/flyer and that they had cut the price to $49.99 (reg price of $99.00). This would be in addition to the basic NFL Sunday Ticket.
  19. 10 hours to go.......Bring it.....!!!!!!!!!
  20. Not to quibble the details, but nomally brewed tea has about 1/2 the caffeine than does an equivalent amount of normally brewed coffee. That tea is somehow stronger is one of those long standing myths....
  21. Well, there's clearly no doubt as to how his name became synonymous with excrement.
  22. It does get more than just a bit thick around here from time to time. Generally, I enjoy the football talk, but politically, it's usually best to just lay low. There's very little room around here for thoughtful discussion. As for the President, I tend to think of him as the Pied Piper..............
  23. Thank you, well said.
