  1. My first thought as well. Bills will run out the lease at SJF then move camp to OBD. They've certainly got the cash to buy out the remaining years at SJF but that won't play well with the Rochester fan base.
  2. Looking to do even more math, with the $50 off/month for 12 months that is a $10 increase in the credits I'm currently receiving ($40/month). With that deal, I would save $120/year. That would certainly be welcome. However, while paying full boat for ST Max at $396, putting the $120/year savings toward that, I'm still paying $276 for ST Max...much more than the $99 I paid last year. Seems like they're really trying to get people to pay full boat for ST, while trying to find discounts elsewhere. Oh, and F the "free" movie channels, they don't appeal to me at all; every time we get a free weekend preview, I'm never tempted to buy, but thankful I don't subscribe to see the garbage they're shoveling.
  3. Take a flyer on him, why not, could be a James Lofton-like signing. I think Lofton was 33 when the Bills signed him. Please don't think I'm comparing LaFell to a HOFer, but 31 at WR is not ancient and he could have some decent years left.
  4. Heard he's actually partial to Shorts Bar in Fairport
  5. Can probably find him now at the Genesee Brew House
  6. Same here...I was in kindergarten, Catholic school, when they announced it over the loudspeaker. Nuns walking down the hall crying. The weekend, we were all glued to the TV. Some favorite shows of the era: Daniel Boone, Combat, Munsters. Two classics, both with outstanding theme songs.
  7. I was there on a relatively mild New Year's Day. I believe the Bills lost 3 of their last 4 that made them the second seed. If they had home field vs. Cincy the next week, I think this team goes to the Super Bowl.
  8. He was gone after '91. We signed Christie before the '92 season. Remember the great game out in LA during the '91 season? How many FGs/XPs did Norwood miss that game? That pretty much sealed his fate. When Polian was able to sign Christie in '92, he was doing cartwheels down the hall at OBD. A classic Polian pickup, like Kenny Davis and James Loften.
  9. So I called customer retention yesterday. Currently, I get $40 off a month as a standard discount. They could only give me $30 off a month, and $99 off Sunday Ticket Max. I paid $99 TOTAL for ST Max last year. I said "no thanks, not good enough." The rep said to call back closer to when my contract expires, which is August 10th. She said they hate to lose long-term customers such as myself (18 years). So, I'll do the song and dance on the 10th. If I don't get the same discounts, for DTV and ST, it's adios DTV. I've got too many cheaper options, especially since we have Verizon FIOS for internet and phone...they would love to add TV at a discount, we get flyers in the mail every other day. Streaming is an option also, cut the cord all together. I'll surely miss ST, but the price is too outrageous. That's the absolute latest.
  10. This is what came up: "Sorry, your address is not eligible."
  11. There was also a guy who took tremendous camp pictures and posted them here...don't recall seeing him here in several years, but his pictures were amazing.
  12. Checked it out and doesn't look like it's available yet on the DTV site.
  13. Papa's good, but the best Raider PBP guy of all time was Bill King
  14. Spoiler alert: he finishes second place in a duel...
  15. Please, this cat's out of the proverbial bag. The bad-PR is already percolating. What would be worse for the NFL, Shady's lawyer bringing a case against the league or every media outlet in the country playing pictures of the woman's battered face while the person she accuses of being involved is doing jumping jacks at SJF? The bottom line is, Shady, at some point, will be "under investigation," which cuts a very wide swath and can be interpreted liberally by Goddell. Look, I hope Shady's innocent here too, but to pretend that Goodell is handcuffed by "lack of evidence" here is pure fantasy.
  16. We're members of the KC and when tickets went on sale to members, we missed out, but got them when they went on sale to the general public. Very weird.
  17. Immediately thought of them (c'mon open on Sundays will ya!) and of course, Wegmans.
  18. Tried the chat option again and said without the ST discount, I'm seriously looking at Cox, Fios and the myriad of streaming options now available. DTV chat person then gave me a special number (which I assume is customer retention) and a PIN to enter after I call that number. Plan on calling this weekend, so we'll see.
  19. The case remains "under review" by the NFL, and Goodell has issued crazier rulings. I hope I'm wrong, but I think Shady won't be at SJF next week.
  20. Going on this excursion: http://www.jottnew.com/buffalo.html
  21. Of course it is, Ball, but with Goodell, who the hell knows.
  22. Good luck with that...this bunch can't even define a "catch."
  23. I dunno, if nothing changes by the week of training camp, i.e. no suspect caught, I'm thinking he's placed on the exempt list. Just a hunch but I hope I'm wrong.
