  1. Everyone has a breaking point. If he does wind up taking loses, what will be the limit to what he is willing to deal with? Everyone wants to paint this giant rosy picture right now, and I don't blame them, but I want to see how things look 5-10 years down the road. Only time will tell, I guess.
  2. I've always joined in on the mocking of other areas after these storms, but I'm really starting to see why it's such an issue this year. Here in Boston they have absolutely no place to put all of it. I'm still expecting to be t-boned by some idiot driver every time I have to pull blindly out into an intersection. I'm sure some of it is in fact the people and the city not knowing how to deal with the conditions, but even I'm annoyed by it now.
  3. It seems like every story mentions how he's been keeping quiet about this whole thing right from the start. It really makes you wonder about whether or not that conversation ever really happened.
  4. That commercial always seems ridiculously stupid to me. The same guys that are trying to push boost mobile are also complete idiots. Great way of pushing your product.
  5. Were there ever actually any direct quotes or just a paraphrasing of a conversation that was reported to have happened? I don't remember ever actually seeing anything.
  6. I'm always confused when people say that Pegula reminds them of so and so. He hasn't said a single word publicly about this team yet, how can we be drawing these conclusions? Maybe he will end up being that type of owner, but we know nothing yet. People are only seeing what they want to see. People were absolutely glowing over Golisano when he took over too. Granted, the team was coming out of bankruptcy and any purchase was going to be welcomed with open arms, but the opinion on him sure as hell has changed, hasn't it?
  7. I've always wanted to receive a dead puppy as a gift.
  8. Not to mention that the only reason they even had Zubrus in the first place was because they traded Biron.
  9. I can think of one scenario where it would be good for Bills fans. If they wind up losing a season, the league is going to have to have some sort of weighted lottery to determine the draft order in 2012. If it's structured anywhere similar to the way the NHL structured theirs, the Bills are going to have a very good shot at landing that 1st overall pick.
  10. This whole thing makes absolutely no sense to me. Sooner or later we'll reach the point where no kind of discipline is allowed at all.
  11. It just started to snow decently out here in Boston as I started my drive to work. This place is a ghost town because of it, but it's not too bad out there at all. I hope I get the day off tomorrow though. I'd like to have some beer and help people dig their cars out. Sounds like a blast.
  12. I know they have the rule about not owning teams in two different markets, but is there anything that would prevent Jeremy Jacobs from being a minority owner of the Bills? If Pegula buddies up with the NHL owners pretty quickly, a pairing of Pegula (majority owner) and Jacobs would make a ton of sense for the Bills.
  13. I bought a car at just the right time. I'm sick of having to inch my way out into intersections in fear of the random old guy who decides to run a red light. I've seen that happen at least 3 times so far.
  14. I'm right there with you. It's a thought that won't even enter my head at this point.
  15. I'm thinking his little experiment had nothing to do with lentils, but was actually to see how long he could keep people hooked waiting for updates.
  16. Nothing but lentils?
  17. I can see why they would want to mess around with 3D, especially with the visuals from the first movie, but they're probably better off going with a completely new movie all together. I don't see why they would bring back all the Matrix characters, especially since most are dead.
  18. I'd imagine that if you thought it was one of your neighbors, you'd call them out by name. Then when you get no response, what next? It's easy to say what you would do in this situation, but it's another story all together for what you would do if you actually were put in that situation.
  19. I could see not wanting to let him in, but maybe throw the guy a blanket or something after calling 911.
  20. I could have done without the Rachel character in both movies. Maggie Gyllenhaal was better, but I still didn't care for her. Obviously she's important for the Dent's transformation, but Batman doesn't need a love interest in all of these movies. His love is Gotham City. Leave it at that.
  21. I'm curious about how much, if any of the yelling can be heard on the 911 call. It seems like that would pretty much paint the full picture. Anyway, if the statement is true that the victim (not even sure if that is the right word here) had to climb a 6 foot fence to get in, I think that pretty much says it all. Wrong place at the incredibly wrong time, but completely justified.
  22. He definitely does seem to have the whole casting thing down to a science. But then again, anyone who uses actors like Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman in minor supporting roles clearly puts a lot of thought into that whole process.
  23. I'm sure they'll get it right and have him as an intellectual and physical equivalent to Bruce Wayne. There's a lot of potential right there. I can't wait to see what they do with him. All I know is that the bar for Bane was set incredibly low by Schumacher, so it can only get better from here.
  24. I hope we get to the point where we start to see birds flying around wearing miniature foil hats. That would be pretty cool.
  25. My friend always tells a story from his high school days of a kid on his roller hockey team who would always say that to people. He said it to a ref one game who just happened to be indian and was immediately tossed from the game.
