Lower bowl, face-off circle, eight in a row...available less than 5 hours before start of game...amazing.

Why are horses "destroyed," but dogs and cats are "put to sleep?"

I'm glad you said that...because I'm hearing that WGR folks are thinking the Sabres are going to take the cup, people in Carolina say it's the Canes, while Oiler faithful say it's Edmonton's year. And Ottawa radio is reporting that the Sens have the Sabres right where they want 'em....

Dude, you're talking about so many teams moving, and sucking, you're getting yourself, and others, confused here! Go Sabres!

I was at that game...got over at 2:00 AM...the scoreboard, at midnight, read: "Happy Easter!" The next day, Easter Sunday, I went to Baltimore for a doubleheader vs. the Tribe. Ahhh, the good 'ol days of being single!

OLN

De Matteo loses points for the poor career decision that is "Joey."

Watched the last period on the Comcast internet stream...the quality was actually pretty good and they picked up the MSG feed with RJ and Batman. Wednesday's game will be streamed also...don't have the exact link, got it off the Sabres board. (Can't believe I just gave Comcast props )

I thought last night's episode was very good...yup, I think the feds start snooping around Chris to try to find out what happened to their source...he will burn out under the pressure. Walnuts will soon expire, from natural causes, it seems. There's three episodes left, and do they pick up eight more starting in January, is that correct?

Went to the Fairfax store today and loaded up on Zweigles and Boss Sauce for the summer! First time at the Fairfax store, been to Dulles several times...damn, I just wish they were about twenty minutes closer!

Cars, planes, PT boats -- I've said it before, those people should not be allowed to operate vehicles of any kind.

Check that, OLN is NOT broadcasting games 2 and 3 OLN link Friday night's game starts at six?!?!? WTF?!?!

NHL.com sez all Sabres-Sens games will be on OLN Link

"I try putting them in circles, but they keep coming up square!"

"Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2006 Northwestern University Wildcats!" You know one time or another, either a Sunday night or Monday night game, they're going to break out the all purple look...they'll look like running eggplants. And wasn't it Peerless who first suggested the all blue look for the Bills? That thought alone should have been enough not to bring him back.

Best college football name of all time: Jaworski Pollock Link

Your son wouldn't be Dan Snyder, would he?

Coach: My friends call me "Coach", but my other nickname is Red. Customer: Why? Because your hair used to be red? Coach: No, because I read a book. Ahhh....classic Cheers.

Philly Comcast is not beamed via satellite...or something like that. I believe it's an analog signal that can only be carried via cable (suprised?). The reason Comcast Mid-Atlantic is carried on DTV is because it's the old Home Team Sports, and was beamed through the heavens, and when Comcast bought, it agreed to allow it continue to be sent via satellite. Bottom line: Comcast=RJ

"If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of death praying for war. But until that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human, f-ing beings. You are nothing but unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian sh*t. Because I am hard you will not like me. But the more you hate me the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair. There is no racial bigotry here. Here you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps. Do you maggots understand that?"

Amen...that is my major beef with NFLN. They clearly are going after a "new" audience, i.e. 17-24 year-olds, and have pretty much pi$$ed on the old farts like me who would salivate at the thought of a regular feeding of John Facenda. Once in awhile you see something from the vaults, but I tend to see more of that stuff on ESPN Classic than NFLN.

Wrong. Center Ice is not a DirecTV owned-service. Read dave_b's response above, he nailed it.

Game Four in Philly is actually a 7:00 PM start, not 10:00 PM as listed by OLN NHL link

Twenty five years ago today, the longest game in baseball history started, Rochester vs. Pawtucket...33 innings. Lots of good stories from that game...official scorecard now in Cooperstown. Rochester third baseman? Cal Ripken. His counterpart at the hot corner: Wade Boggs.

Dave in VA?!?!? Christ, I thought you were dead!
