  1. Yeah, I know...my brother is a GM at a Regal Theater...a significant part of his bonus is based on concessions. I know they don't make squat off the tickets, but that's still ridiculous for a coke lol. The least they could do is use a plastic cup so that I could re-use it at home <_<

    The cup costs more than the Coke. I worked at a pizza place in college and the owner said I could drink all the soda I wanted, but I could only use a reusable cup (that he gave me, probably given free to him by one of the bev companies) because the disposable cups cost more than the product.

  2. This was being said about TE in 2009.

     

    Why call Edwards the DC then?

     

    Why keep Maybin if you are publicly saying he can't cut it in this league?

    The 2009 Bills had numerous problems on offense beyond Trent and the belief was that Gailey should have been able to help him. And again, out of all the QB's in camp last year, Trent looked the best and had the most experience.

     

    Edwards in DC in name only and wasn't stripped of it to save face. Wannstedt will be calling the shots.

     

    Again, why cut Maybin before they have to? Maybe something clicks this summer? Likely it won't, but you never know and there's no reason to cut him now.

  3. Boy I really hope they don't play the Flyers. Having to listen to their homer announcers complain about every call and non-call always makes me want to stab them in the face with a screwdriver.

    I don't know which is worse: the Philly homer announcers or the Bahstun homer announcers.

  4. I believe the decision is coming from above him. Chan also made sure to point out effort was not the issue.

    What decision is coming from who?

    I'm not sure I follow your logic here. Gailey benched Edwards after 2 games and cut him off the team soon after. It doesn't seem he hesitated with that decision, in fact I would suggest he made that decision faster than most NFL coaches would have.

     

    As for Edwards Poz came out and said that the right plays were being called but the players were not doing the right things, I can't put that on Edwards.

     

    Maybin seems to have the work ethic by all accounts I've read but he just doesn't seem to "get it". I don't have any faith that this kid will amount to anything other than a BIG BUST!

    I agree with you. Trent looked like the best QB in camp and pre-season. When the real bullets started to fly, he sucked, and Gailey cut him quick.

     

    As for George, even if you were to pin the blame on him for the defense's lousy performance, why cut him when you can keep him as an assistant coach (considering Wannstedt is the de facto DC)?

     

    And why cut Maybin before training camp and pre-season?

  5. Not so sure about that. In the past, under the previous owner, the Sabres wouldn't have picked up a player like Boyce, as he has another year on his contract...and his salary is substantial, in the bigger scheme of things. Darcy might have thought about it, but I am not sure that they would have been able to pull it off, with the financial constraints of the Golisano ownership.

     

     

    The FO typically refers to the GM & scouts. That portion of the organization is unchanged as of yet, which is what Doc was referring to. Expecting major additions to the scouting department in the off-season.

     

    Though the FO hasn't changed, the guys approving/nixing the FO's handiwork have definitely changed. :thumbsup:

    The Sabres added Spacek for about $3.3M a year from 2006-2009, and that's commensurate with what Boyes is getting today. True Spacek was a FA and Boyes was a trade, but the team is still $3.5M under the cap, while it was $2.2M under in 2009-2010.

  6. You are just upset because Why So Serious and I know more than you. We get chastised for it at first, but in time everyone starts to see what we saw 3 years ago, once their Bills colored glasses wear off of whatever player the Bills decide to draft. It makes sense really, being a Bills fan you should get angry if somone tells you your recently drafted top 10 pick totally sucks and he already knows it!

    - most people did turn around on Bulaga, no?

    - I really liked Gronkowski (10TDs and a PB nod). I thouhgt he would last till our third because of injury but as the draft grew closer it was obvious that wasnt the case. I wanted him in the 2nd when it was all said and done. I may have went for Clausen when he lasted that late though.

    - I wanted John Jerry in the 3rd, he started every game when healthy for Miami, and went 1 pick after us in the 3rd.

     

    I wasnt a member here in 2008 but I was pissed there wasnt a good DE, I didnt think we needed a CB at all btu had DRC has the best one, and was hoping for OL help, B Albert was the big name at the time - I liked him as a G.

     

    And I actually have emailed Buddy Nix things on the draft. I never heard anything back though.

    Clausen and John Jerry aren't feathers in your cap. The jury is still out on Bulaga (and just because he started on a SB team, it doesn't mean he was worth a high 1st round pick). Brown has done little in Carolina. And Gronkowski had a history of injuries in college and missed his senior season. Reviews on where he should go were mixed, and the Pats gambled and hit. You were right about Orakpo versus Maybin.

  7. Why?

    Because the trash that was in New Orleans couldn't behave and the poor people of Japan are struggling to get by and yet maintaining a high level respect.

     

    Funny, I saw where for 3 hours prior to opening there were hundreds, if not thousands, of people were waiting patiently to go shopping. If that was "NOLA" as it has now been dubbed the store would not have been there by morning because people feel endebted to their freedoms in this country - in other words, people just don't care about anyone else but themselves.

    Well, as the article said, looting also happened in Chile, Haiti and England. If anything, it's more a testament to the integrity of the Japanese culture that there was no looting.

  8. Obama's trying to move to center for 2012 election, and wants to counter the "soft on defense" label that you know will be coming from the right. May actually be a positive for him that some of the more Liberal politicians are speaking out against. You know for sure almost none of their constituents would cross party lines and vote Republican, and angering Kucinich will win over some righties.

    At the rate Barry's going, he'll have no one left in his corner. No Repub will vote for him. Independants like me know they got burned last time. And far-Lefties are deserting the ship.

     

    Sad fact is almost no wars are started for stated reasons ... Iraq was not about WMDs, WMDs was the excuse to sell it to the public; the war in Lybia (and thats what it is a war, end the "no fly zone" BS) is not about Lybian civilians, for Obama it's about election year politics.

    I agree with you on Iraq. However I don't know about Barry's true intentions with Libya. But you could be right.
