#89 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 It was lots of fun and Tasker said that since Sunday all he has heard about was the Tedy love fest on ESPN. Hardy anyone was talking abou the game but how ESPN was snakebit twice by having reports going on while the game had important plays happening. He answered question from the audience about the transition from player to retired and back in the work force for NFL players. His was quite easy because he is still involved with the game that he loves. That he plans on living in East Aurora for the rest of his life and becoming a grandfather here.(in 10 years his oldest kids are in High school Kelso also took questions and mostly talked about success and being a TEAM. He is in the educational field. The taught for 7 yrs and now is in admin. Sappe told of of his life -traditions and love of the Buffalo area. His wife was there and spoke of the fundraising events that the wives of the Bills are having. There is an up coming fashion show where the models are the Bills Players and wives. That should be fun. I hope it is something that I might be able to go to but it is on a Monday night in November. TKO's charity is sponsering the event for his chairty and Children's hospital. The display of Bills stuff and the rocketship 7 items was a great reminder of the best place to live. Western NY. I never want to move away from here.

stuckincincy Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Thanks for the report, #89. It would be really nice if Tasker got inducted into the HOF. I also think he does a good job as a commentator. I know some don't think so...finding fault here and there. Commentators always make mistakes - they aren't sitting on a couch - they watch live action and then tv feed, and have a half a minute or so to say something. Myself, I like Tasker's insights.

The Dean Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Thanks for the report, #89. It would be really nice if Tasker got inducted into the HOF. I also think he does a good job as a commentator. I know some don't think so...finding fault here and there. Commentators always make mistakes - they aren't sitting on a couch - they watch live action and then tv feed, and have a half a minute or so to say something. Myself, I like Tasker's insights. 493771[/snapback] I agree re:Tasker and the HOF. But seriously, Tasker and insights should NEVER be used in the same sentence if we're talking about him as a commentator. I don't think there is anyone worse (or even close) and that pains me to say as I really liked Steve as a player. It's painful for me to watch when he's on. The show he does (or did) for WKBW was just HORRID (I used to work there and sell that piece of dreck). My problem with ST as a commentator isn't with mistakes (you are correct, it's a tough gig). It's that he has NOTHING interesting to say. OK...I'm wrong about one thing...it is to some extent about mistakes. When he decides to make a point...he's almost always wrong! Wrong player, wrong set....Arrrghhhhaahhhtthhhhahrhh Must watch blood pressure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
