Gotcha. He was a great horse too, never heard of him before. Wiki said his heart was 2x normal size.

Good stuff. But Sham finished 5th in that race, so how would he have won Triple Crown if not for Secretariat?

Of course we're talking about projections so there's "no evidence". What real historical evidence we have is on Buffalo, and it shows the low ticket prices and lacking corporate suites do not support an NFL team going forward. btw, I take it by your one-sided/obstructionist comments you work for Erie county or youre one of the people collecting $20 to let people park on your lawn near the Ralph? Or in some other way derive economic benefit from Bills in Erie County?

2-part "Menagerie" was a classic, but how did they miss the aliens' heads looking not sort of like, but exactly like, scrotums? Was this a blatant oversight or was make-up/costume purposely messing with the producers? -
SEATTLE — Seattle police say a Seattle Pacific University student on Thursday disarmed a lone gunman who entered a building and shot three people. A hospital spokeswoman says one man has died and three other people are injured, one critically. http://nypost.com/2014/06/05/multiple-victims-in-university-shooting-in-seattle/

That's what's going on now. Hence the desperate obstructionist antics from those representing the Erie side here. What they fail to realize is that if the bills are to be long term viable there's only one side. But when you have politicians and people who've been picking up $20/car to let people park on their lawn near the Ralph, they'll do anything to try and hang on

It doesn't matter. These cost objections are simply red herrings and exist at any alternative. The key consideration is where the most revenues can be gotten...the upside. Clearly its NF

NYS for sure. Keep it on American side. The idea is to help gentrify the area and show case one of the worlds wonders as it should be. You don't put stadiums in pristine high end neighborhoods. That its sort of run down is an argument in favor of putting there.

I don't recall that episode, which doesn't mean I didn't see it. So awful could have erased it from memory. -
Like when US Asst Sec of State Nuland says "F*#% the EU" because they weren't being interventionist enough? Nothing about "integrity", and every thing thing to do with continuing US interventionism combined with blind support of pig-headed allies. Majority of Americans have made it clear: US don't get involved in Ukraine.

Bush vs Obama: Who's Worse?
truth on hold replied to Dorkington's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
For someone living in NYS in Obama-care income bracket, the combined capital gains rate is nearly 33%: federal 20% + obamacare 3.8% + State 8.82% = 32.62% That's essentially an ordinary income rate and it's a disgrace to tax cap gains that high -
Bottom line is this: An NF site will attract fans not just from all over the region, but from all over the world. The thought of taking in the falls, casinos, Canadian side with its restaurants and entertainment, and an NFL game sounds great to me. I haven't been back to WNY in years, but for this I'd certainly make the trip. Association with natural wonder and international clientele will bring in the highly coveted corporate luxury suite buyer. It's the key to maximizing the franchise's value to modern NFL standards and keeping in in WNY. A Buffalo-site .... no matter where ... will not bring fans from all over the region and the world. Buffalo has next to no tourist income on its own .... as in zero. Any new site will of course need some infrastructure adjustments. That some sites in Buffalo may require less is highly debatable as NF has a lot of under used capacity. But even if there are exceptions in Buffalo there's a damming reason: nobody (outside of the increasingly irrelevant old guard) wants to go there.
