    I put down a deposit for four tix to the Seattle game in October, and they said I could get a full refund if I cancel by July 1st.  I don't want to cancel - I just want more information so I can decide which parts of the package I want to include.  But they have gone radio silent.  I got an email from them in late May saying I'd hear something in a few weeks, and now they don't answer the phone and don't respond to emails.  I'm worried I just flushed this deposit down the toilet.  Lesson learned.

    I've never done a full travel package with Fans of Buffalo but I have bought tailgate party tickets through them and they have always been reliable.  I think they are legit, I would not panic yet.  They are probably still working on putting everything together.

    Not necessarily representing my high school experience in the late 90s, but Superbad is a hilarious movie about high school life.  

    Yeah Superbad was a little after my high school years but still a great one, probably the last true great high school movie made

    The Last American Virgin - The first hour is your typical 80s, horny teenager movie, but then it takes a serious turn in act 3. The final scene is unforgettable... brutally realistic. Valuable lessons to be learned from watching this movie. 

    I want to see this one but can't find it anywhere, usually you can find most movies available on Amazon Prime even if you have to pay a few bucks for some of them but it's not even on there

  3. I watched Fast times at Ridgemont High last night for the first time in awhile and it still holds up so well after all these years!  To me that's the gold standard as far as the high school romps go.  I could probably flip a coin between that and Dazed and Confused.  It's a genre that's been beaten to death with movies from all different decades and era's so lots to choose from.  Curious to see what other people think

    Sabres are getting dragged on social media for giving up too much (2nd rounder) and maybe they did, but I've seen this guy play before and he's a heck of a bottom 6 player. He hits like a truck and loves to do it, blocks shots, kills penalties, and other players hate playing against him. If he's Girgs replacement it's an upgrade. He won't light it up offensively but he's sure to be a fan favorite.

    This is exactly what we need and fans have been begging for so I don't understand the bitching and moaning about this move.

    Has to be part of a bigger move. There’s no reason to trade down before they are on the clock (and see who’s on the board) otherwise. They are definitely not at a stage where they need to stockpile draft picks. The pipeline is almost too full as it is. 

    I hope that's the case but you just never know with Adams

    This is the worst time of year for the Stanley Cup. Most of the players toss it around like a rag doll. 

     

    The Stanley Cup is probable like, "Can y'all just put me on a table and take pictures?"

    Can you imagine the insanity that would occur in Buffalo if the Sabres won the Cup?

    2 days travel between EDM & FLL is the wrinkle, right??

    Possibly.  I still they think they could have accounted for that overall when they made the schedule originally.

    The only thing I would be critical about with the NHL is the scheduling. It's June 24th and they are still playing hockey. The draft is this Friday with FA on 7/1. Imagine the Super Bowl being played in May, or the World Series being played in December. 

    Agree with you there!  And how did they not schedule around to have a potential Game 7 fall on a Friday or Saturday night?

    I really don't care who wins I just want to see a good game. Game 7 of the SCF. The ultimate game 7. 

    I was rooting for Florida at the beginning of the series but the way everything has unfolded it's kinda hard to not root for Edmonton now.  But agreed that at the end of the night I just want to see a great game.  It seems like this Stanley Cup Final has brought a lot of limelight back to the NHL which has been great to see.

    I had 2 incredible Go Bills moments in 2014 when my daughter decided to go the University of Iceland as her semester abroad. My wife and I decided to make a 2 week vacation of dropping her off in Iceland in August.  Upon arriving, we took a bus into Reykjavik and ended up at a train station nearby to where we had rented an apartment.  It was the same night the Bills were playing a preseason game against Carolina. Of course, I had a Bills hat on.  I went into the train station to ask for directions to my apartment. I approached an employee and before I could say anything, he said, sir, I have to show you something.  He turned his computer display around so I could see it  and there was the Bills Steelers game live on the internet.  He looked at me and said Go Bills. I said go Bills and asked him if he was from Buffalo. He said no, I’m Icelandic and have loved the Bills since the late 80s. We went on to talk about Kelly, Thurman, Reed, Bruce, etc. He went on to tell me I was the first person from Buffalo he had met. I asked what site he was using to watch the game and he gave me the URL. I used it to watch the final preseason game vs Carolina. 
     

    The second incredible moment in Iceland occurred on a day when I had my winter Bills jacket on (free gift for purchasing the NFL ticket the first year it was offered). As I walked downtown in Reykjavik one day I heard someone yell Go Bills. Sure enough, it was someone from Buffalo. We talked and realized we were both from South Buffalo and knew some of the same people.  
     

    Given that I’m always wearing Bills stuff and travel a lot, I have lots of great random Go Bills moments. 

    Those conversations are always a blast too.  Six degrees of separation is a legit thing in WNY!

    Comeback game - I remember eating wegmans subs at 9 am, dad drinking beers. By half time we were getting hit with snow balls from oilers fans. We stayed (pretty sure because he couldn’t drive back to Rochester) then we started coming back and we were the ones throwing snow balls. 
     

    Great game great memories. 

    Wow I had no idea Wegmans subs went back that far!  I was still pretty young during the Super Bowl years so I remember them but through the lens of a kid.  I thought Wegmans subs became a thing during the Flutie years.  

  12. The Bills got royally screwed in this situation.  I can't fault Beane or McDermott for how they handled it.  Araiza wasn't completely upfront about what his situation was, this thing completely blindsided them.  They had no choice but to release him or it would have been an absolute PR nightmare.  It already was that in the brief time period the allegations broke out.  After how everything transpired and lack of clarity from Araiza's camp the Bills were never going to bring him back here.  The extra kick in the nuts on this thing is of course getting signed by the Chiefs of all teams.

    I do think a woman might respect a man for his genuine skills and talents if those are the reason for why he’s a millionaire, but at the end of the day money is money. $50M is $50M no matter if earned or won. 
     

    Take the ugliest man, gift him $50M and make it public, then circle back a week later to ask him how it’s going with the ladies. I’m sure he’d tell you something similar to what Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) said, “feels like I got a facelift.” 
     

    Money is power and they all want it.

    And then there are the women that just want to sleep with famous people(I mean I'm sure in Bill's case it's more about the $$$)but I just read an interview with Fred Durst and he talked about how before he became famous he was just some goofy dude from North Carolina who never got chicks and then once he became famous all of these women wanted to sleep with him just because he was famous.  He said of course he went along for the ride but he knew how ridiculous and superficial it was and would just laugh to himself over the whole thing.  The entire interview was pretty candid and insightful and really put Fred Durst in a different light for me.

  14. Willis McGahee- might've been the only guy who hated playing professional sports in Buffalo more than Jack Eichel

    Chris Kelsay- Not only did he suck but I heard stories of him trying to play the "Don't you know who I am" card after getting into some trouble at the Big Tree.  It's laughable when players like that try playing the big-timer card

    Donte Whitner- He wasn't the worst player ever but I couldn't stand his attitude and another example of a guy who way over valued who he was as an NFL talent.  From what I remember there was also some internet/Twitter beef with him and Bills fans back in the day.  Probably one of the first instances of that kinda thing which seems to be the norm nowadays.

    Doug Marrone- He was just an idiot 

     

    Not gonna lie determining my final four took a lot of time and thinking as there were plenty of eligible candidates.  Sidenote:  I think the people who are listing guys like Marv Levy and Darryl Talley are out of their mind
