Awesome! I've heard of him! ... well one of them ...

Well said ... despite an identical w-l record from the year before, I think that we took a step backwards. In 07, we were younger, less talented and decimated by injuries. Given the schedule and fewer injuries in 08, 7-9 represents a step backwards, and we're committed to staying the course ... of mediocrity.

I find your grammar/typing skills to be exemplary.

I second that

I stand corrected ... we're only in the Lions territory [Link] ... Keeping drinking the Grape Kool-Aid boys!

Add my son's house squirt hockey team to that exclusive list.

It's Official ... Now that the Cardinals are in the Superbowl ... The Bills have taken their place in the pantheon of inept franchises. We're now in the proud company of the Bungles and the Lions ... :thumbsup:

Any chance that they can relocate to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean?

Yes, traffic would be fugly ... better yet would be Williams Road in Wheatfield where the OZ park was dreamed up to be ... better access to surface roads. Canadian traffic could cross at Rainbow or Queenston. There would still need to be some new roadwork, but not nearly as much as downtown Nia Falls. Again moot point ... it's not going to happen.

That's a fictional novel isn't it? If it's the one I'm thinking of, I've heard great things about it.

English Pub ... The Buttery? They do a Henry the 8th themed dinner show that is a blast. Next time you're there ... look for Piccards Nut Shop ... it's a little outside of the village, but it's awesome! The U.S. side was always strong in industry thanks to the cheap hydro power ... especially in aluminum and chemical manufacturing which are very energy intensive. Tourism was always a few extra bucks in the summer, but the city never had to rely on it. Also, there was a very strong mafia presence, but everyone had good jobs, so evertone was happy. After the Schoellkopf power station (which provided the cheap power) collapsed, the new Robert Moses station was built and the local power rates went up and negated the cheap power advantage. In the 70s, there were widespread shifts in manufacturing from northen towns to the south and Niagara Falls was hit hard. Now, instead of developing our tourism, everyone is fighting to hold on to whatever piece of the pie that they can and squash any attempts to redevelop. Business climate is now so tainted and difficult that few even try any more. It's a shame, the city gets 10 to 12 million tourists a year on name recognition alone. Making money here should be sooo easy ... but it's not. Sad ... sad.

Florida was able to turn a swamp into a world class tourist attraction ... Niagara Falls turned a world class tourist attraction into a slum.

Exactly ... Read Pierre Burton's Book "Niagara" ... though it's written more about the canadian side, it shows how we developed more on the industrial side and canada focused more on tourism. Now that the industry dried up, we need to take stock of what is left and redevelop for tourism. Unfortunately, the (unelected) powers that be that run the city and the out-of-state land developers sitting on prime property waiting to make a killing if non-indian gambling ever happens have killed any chance to capitalize on anything. For crying out loud, the poor guy who used to own the ice cream shop by the Rainbow Bridge had to fought the city for years to build a hot dog stand. A stadium in Niagara Falls, while it would be GREAT, will NEVER happen.

Open land isn't the problem ... it's all the palms that would have to be greased to get it to happen ... would probably double the project cost. There is a reason why developers aren't interested in building in a ghost town that manages to attract 10 to 12 million tourists a year.

Toss up between Stevie Johnson and Gibran Hamdan. Despite Hamdan's outstanding chroise, I'm putting my money on Stevie ... Jersey is on order and I can't wait to wear it to his HOF induction.

Presuming that Jauron did sign an extension, it's sad that the organization is too embarrased to admit it ... but do they think that they can hide it? My only hope is that they're trying to figure some way out of this mess.

You can make him happy by staying OFF HIS LAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN!!

So I guess by the time that the Bills pick up and move, we just won't care anymore ...

I was planning on it, but not now. It's not the losing that bothers me as much as they just look so bad doing it ... going to games is suppossed to be entertaining ... last year we were at least competitve and the games were worth watching ... this is year is just awful

I'll vote for it as the biggest collapse in football history. Sincerely, The 1992 Houston Oilers

Hell, I would be happy to get a "Diddly-poo" out of him

That will be an improvement over our Coaching, Non-living, Non-SuperBowl winning Head Coach

There must be a snow day at one of our local grade schools ...
