Schubas always had great live music when I lived there...Great part of town there too...in Lakeview

one I believe is still a stewardess so she's mostly on the go

So good to hear!!!! I'll raise a beer to the Station at the tailgate!! I just got an email from some girls in Cali who wanted to know where to go. Bonus for the station!

Those were the days, good, good times - and the waitresses were...well - everything you could have hoped for 11am to midnight at LS on a Sunday was not uncommon back then...

I'm in Buffalo but I lived in Chicago for 12 years. My roommate from college started Lincoln Station and he is from Cleveland. The Browns had moved from Cleveland so I said if I can get 50 people from Buffalo to show up opening day, will you make this a Bills Sabres bar. Sure enough, about 100 people were there that day and every game since. Then the Sabres went on their Cup run and the place was packed every other night for about 3 months. He always told me that the reason LS made it was because of the Buffalonians! He has since sold the place but my fandom claim to fame will always be the reason Lincoln Station is the Buffalo bar it is today - - too funny

Tell the folks at Lincoln Station that the Godfather says hello!

I honestly could not even begin to guess if EJ is going to be good enough or not. He has played so little that it is surprising that so many have written him off (maybe rightly so). Having said that, I would have never traded up to get a receiver (no matter how good he is) until the organization was convinced they have their franchise QB.

Hook and line...meet sinker

I actually started the whole Buffalo thing at Lincoln Station so I may be a little biased towards that one.....

The lack of response from the Dr makes me think there is a bit of an internal struggle taking place?

Not too bold but I think this is Bradys last trip to the Super Bowl where he will lose to the Pack

yes, but we don't know what that last game is yet do we. I could sit here and say the next super bowl we play in will be most important but that wouldn't really fit here either.

and there you have it....

It's a win win. Either Bills are in contention and a tough decision is made or they are out of it and he gets all the rest he needs. I think I'll take the former Thank you. ...

Well then I guess we'll just have to look back on this game after it's played. I still think you are missing the points of what I am saying because if there ever was a game to point at, I am suggesting it is this one. Now if the Bills beat the Patriots in NE and we have a winning record, maybe that will be the new, favorite game. But then again, maybe...just maybe you hear one of our players at the end of the season as they enter the playoffs say "that Bears game really set us in the right direction and we never looked back" - ya just never know

Since there really have not BEEN any important games in the last 10 years, I don't think it's that much of a stretch to make this statement...

I think Cutler can and will be rattled by the end of this one.

I would hardly be shocked if Buffalo never won the Super Bowl but there is no way I will ever miss even one tailgate until the day I die. This is not a football thing, this is a FAMILY thing going on here in Buffalo.

If they win it, I can very reasonably see this turning into that game of importance. Of course the game means nothing more or less as it stands alone but a victory, a solid road victory against a legit Bears team to start the season will be gigantic.

I guess we agree to disagree because I think the atmosphere will spread like wildfire if they walk out of that tunnel against Miami with a Chicago win...

And if a horrendous loss spins this team out of control with QB controversy, how does whatever game you are looking at get perceived? Your game of the month might prove to be pretty insignificant by the time it is played. The Bears game has direct relevance AND importance to what you are stating...no?

Wow, not even here did I think ANYONE would ever bite on that one play comment I made...just wow

Ugh, just ugh

The first play from scrimmage in the Chicago game could very well be regarded as the biggest play in in NFL history when it's all said and done...

Exactly my point....if they come home after an ass kicking and EJ looks bad, that stadium will turn so freaking fast with EJ's very first Int. This game (division or no division) could represent the the first MAJOR step that needs to be taken. I think the coaching staff may need it more than anybody else too.
