Brandon: Losman will be part of team in 2008
Albany,n.y. replied to In-A-Gadda-Levitre's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What he really means: When free agency started, we found out that a good veteran backup gets between $2 million to $3 million per season. That's tons more than our starter. Since he's already under conract & Edwards won't rock the boat this season, there's no cost benefit in getting rid of JP, so he's staying another year. Next year, when we have to replace him, we'll extend Edwards at starting rates and then we can bring in a new guy at $2.5 mil a season as the backup. It's politics & salaries. -
Truth, Justice, and the American Way...
Albany,n.y. replied to stuckincincy's topic in Off the Wall Archives
That's not 100% correct. The last 5 years of my father's life were spent in a wheelchair. I was able to take him places & park with his permit on my car. They go with the person, not the vehicle-since he didn't have a vehicle. Now during those years I found 1 thing worse than someone who parks in a handicap spot-a person who parks in the blue space next to a handicap spot. I had a real tough time getting my father's wheelchair to the passenger door when some idiot parked next to my car in the place reserved for the person in the wheelchair to get in and out of the car. Anyone parking in handicap spots deserves whatever the police (or an angry citizen) can give them. -
Any opinions on Jimbo's meeting with Hamas?
Albany,n.y. replied to Adam's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Jim Kelly met with Hamas? I hope he found a good WR & TE when he was over there. -
I never thought he had a chance, the same as Carly-It's AMERICAN Idol, not Australian Idol or Irish Idol. The foreign born singers will always get fewer votes than their talent. Just look at how many people are up in arms over immigrants-then you expect them to vote for immigrants on American Idol?

Either God is telling her to get out or she tourched it herself for sympathy & the tears will be flowing soon. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080411/ap_on_...ton_office_fire

John Beck is the answer for the next decade in Miami, why draft Ryan at #1? ...and with Beck entrenched for the next decade, I want to see a George Wilson play every season & years of 1-15 long after Tuna has given up & returned to his natural habitat-Saratoga Race Course.

The Bills need a veteran QB, not a 3rd round rookie. Johnson will probably go on to have a good career, Trent Edwards will go on to have a great one.

AT&T subscribers can not post to TSW
Albany,n.y. replied to BillsWatch's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I quit AT&T years ago after they called me up, had me change my long distance to 5 cents a minute & then billed me 10 cents a minute, claiming that calls within NYS weren't included. When I told them I specifically asked if NYS was included since, at the time, all my long distance calls were to Long Island or Buffalo, they must have checked the tape, since they did refund my money. I still changed my long distance service the same day & never went back. -
I couldn't find a video clip of this, it's even worse than just reading the words, the way she pours on the fake emotion. Does anyone actually believe that was her reaction 40 years ago? At times her voice broke, as when she recalled learning of Dr. King’s death when she was a student at Wellesley. “I was a junior in college, and I remember hearing about it and just feeling such despair,” she said. “I walked into my dorm room and took my book bag and hurled it across the room. I felt like everything had been shattered, that we’d never be able to put the pieces together again.” http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/05/us/polit...baTjc6MkrDF06ww

I thought Teddy Bruschi invented all the cities, including Buffalo.

Ralph did put the hit out on JP, but it wasn't financially motivated-he told Wilfork "That JP is horrible, please take him out of the game so my team can put a real QB in there." Ralph's plan worked and a real QB came in the game & is the starter for the next decade or longer.

Does trent have small hands?
Albany,n.y. replied to Captain Hindsight's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
When I worked at Dunkirk Ice Cream Lou Sabin would bring his QBs in to practice in the frozen warehouse. After he left, the team moved training camp to Fredonia to be closer to the warehouse. That move to Rochester really messed things up. -
Does trent have small hands?
Albany,n.y. replied to Captain Hindsight's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Maybe you got a stupid answer because you asked a ridiculous question. The only snow game was a friggin blizzard that virtually no QB would play well in, even if he had gorilla hands. How can we take your question as serious when playing in a blizzard has nothing to do with the size of your hands. -
I think Carly has the best voice, but she'll never win because: That lady on her arm Her husband's tatooed face-every time they show him she loses votes. She's from Ireland-Americans want an AMERICAN Idol. Right now my top three, based on my scoring system are Carly, Brooke, & David A. Bottom three from worst up are Jason, Ramiele & David C. However David C has really stepped it up the last 2 weeks & should keep rising as the scores are very close. I expect Ramiele to go, but Jason or Kristy wouldn't shock me.

Hillary's Balkan Adventures
Albany,n.y. replied to SilverNRed's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
CBS Evening News just kicked her @ss! They showed Hillary's account of the episode, then showed a tape of the actual greeting ceremony-narrated by one of the reporters who accompanied her showing no gunfire & Hillary & Chelsea being greeted by a child. Some danger. -
Maybe Chris Brown knows something?
Albany,n.y. replied to K-Gun10's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
3 way deal JP & a 5th for Sage, then Houston trades JP for a 4th. We get Rosenfels, Houston gets a 4 & 5 and some team gets stuck with JP. -
Yes, School & library: $2,727.82, County, town, water sewer, fire: $1,186.07. 2007 Middle class Star rebate: $441.38. Total after rebate: $3,472.51. Now all you people who were afraid to come back to NY State because you think taxes are too high can move back. If you think that's low, we must be doing something right in NYS.

Last year I paid around $3,900 in property taxes on a $200,000 home in the suburbs of Albany, that includes a STAR exemption. After the state's tax rebate, I paid slightly less than $3,500. The assessment is $179,000 because the last revaluation had a 7/1/05 valuation date. Now if the house was in the City of Albany, my taxes and water bill would have been higher.

Reason Ben Troupe signed with the Bucs

If someone called me up at 12:02 AM, I'd tell them to get lost and call me when I'm not asleep. -
New York Gov #2 enjoys the stray 'tang
Albany,n.y. replied to Dwight Drane's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Decent intelligent human beings don't run for high office. Just to let you know Spitzer ran against John Faso. That's the same John Faso who had a constituent arrested for calling him too many times when Faso refused to take his calls.\ http://troypolitics.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html -
A favorite tactic of the anti-Obama crowd
Albany,n.y. replied to Bishop Hedd's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Who is this Bill Obama guy? -
Why pay an average of $400 per person per regular season game (because pre-season games are worthless IMO) when you can get a ticket to a Bills game for around $50 per person and the whole trip, including parking runs less than $100. You can go to 4 games for the price of one & have change left in your pocket. The rich Canadians they expect to buy the tickets didn't get rich by being stupid.
