  1. Doubful, before the regulators/DOJ weigh in and First Niagara decides on the 100 offices they're going to divest...
  2. With all due respect, Promo, Easley had just three days of camp last year before his injury. About the equivalent of what Jasper's had this year...
  3. Agreed. But there's likely several hundered branch support positions for retail, small business, etc. that may now be in play. http://www.buffalonews.com/business/article508056.ece And trying to serve the commercial segment without a branch network is whistling in the wind, IMO...
  4. Unfortunately, there's not much need for HSBC branch operations support staff without a branch network. It remains to be seen how many new back office jobs First Niagara will create to support the 195 branches--probably a net loss in headcount overall. And as usual, the FNFG shareholders take it in the shorts with more dilution.
  5. That's it, I'm through with this F@?$'n team...
  6. As a public service, this thread should be pinned...
  7. So's this year's free agent crop. Signing a stiff just to make a headline does what, exactly?
  8. Wasn't Pos listed near the top of the LB list? Sigh.... Yahoo Top 100 list
  9. Wow! That's the best news I've heard in weeks. Fingers crossed.....
  10. There's a real Murderers' Row. Harbaugh is the only legit guy in the bunch and he was never coming east...
  11. We??! Still time and $$$ to plug holes. The 'woe is us' crap on TSW does nothing to change that...
  12. And here I thought Tom Donahoe had left town. My mistake...
  13. Agreed. Complementary role players who add to the overall talent mix are a plus--and it will be exciting to see what Chan can devise to get this guy on the field. Too many people here are looking for the FA "splash" and thinking this precludes any other additions. I'm thinking they're targeting several more positions, as well as some of the recent cuts by other teams.
  14. That can make a big differnce in the W/L column, especilly with Chan's philosophy of keeping games tight and going for 'last shot' wins. McGee is over the hill and McLuv'n is a hand grenade. IMO, Smith is going to be the primary KR and Spiller will be the change of pace guy, or possibly the punt returner if Roscoe is dealt.
  15. That for the reminder that MB stupidity is universal...
  16. Would this comparison help? Atlanta Buffalo
  17. Yet another tree falls in the woods...
  18. Thanks. Now that football's back, get to work on my "ignored user" list again...
  19. But that's the Raison d'être for TSW. May as well try to raise the level of Lake Erie by pissing in it than attempt to talk the ledge jumpers down...
  20. ...or read a more useless thread. The day Buddy says something interesting to a media outlet will be the first--and people better get used to that reality. This guy is the anti-Donahoe, which is a good thing, not a bad...
  21. Could someone tell me at what point on the top 100 free agents list the "splashes" start?
