  1. Past hour
  2. You're seriously blaming 47 for inflation over the past 4 years when he's been in charge for ~1/8 of that time frame? How much of that increase occured on 46's "watch" and how much on 47's?
  3. Interesting take from a Tax the Rich (but don't tax me!) liberal who replied to my post with 'Whatabout J6!' and 'Whatabout the Russians!'.
  4. When did Miami pick up Elam? Trade?
  5. This from Bob Koshinski: It's been a tough day, receiving news this morning from daughter Kelley that Hall of Fame Broadcaster and a great friend, Art Wander passed last night. Kelley wrote "My Dad was discussing Mets baseball with me just the night before. He passed with a Buffalo Bills blanket on his bed, a Mets banner nearby and Frank Sinatra singing “My Way” on his Alexa, which he always called Alaska,” Art was so much more than what people heard on the radio or watched on television. Growing up on the eastside of Buffalo, Art became an accomplished pianist, loved his Polish culture, sports of all kinds and of course broadcasting. Art Wander served in the U.S. Navy, producing radio programs for the Veterans Administration hospital system. In 1956 Art joined WKBW radio as a news reporter, working alongside the legendary newsman Irv Weinstein, a former roommate when they worked together in West Virginia. Wander left Buffalo for New York City in the early 1960’s, getting involved with then album rock giant WOR-FM, covering the Beatles at Shea Stadium and developed a working relationship with Beatle manager Brian Epstein. In the 1970’s Wander went on to program radio stations in Chicago, Boston, Dallas, Baltimore, Atlanta, Tampa, Dayton, and Memphis, among others. Wander helped launch the careers of national radio personalities Rick Dees and ESPN’s Dan Patrick. In the 1980s Wander returned to his hometown as a radio programmer and an on-air personality doing sports call-in at WGKT, 1400 AM. Wander quickly developed a following, calling himself the “Tiny Tot of the Kilowatt" and “Artie Baby Boo-Boo”, but his popularity soared after Buffalo Bills GM Bill Polian included him in his infamous “get out of town” tirade at a Bills Quarterback luncheon in 1989. Art then became the afternoon drive call-in host on WGR 550 in the early 90’s before being hired by the Empire Sports Network to co-host Fan Forum with Bob Koshinski, then his own “Don’t Get Me Started”. Wander also hosted a call-n show on Empire’s sports radio partner WNSA-FM, 107.7 in 2001. Wander, survived by daughter Kelley, son Scott and Granddaughter Angela, was inducted into the Buffalo Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2008. Art had a great career and an awesome life, he used to say about his eventual passing, "“When the tiny tot of the kilowatt tippy toes into the land of Olalde!”
  6. I recall how he used to call Tagliabue, "Taggy the twit."
  7. That's fine. He scored an unbelievable 4th down TD that kept us in the game to begin with. Our offense was struggling early until we started feeding him the ball. He was a key factor in a game where we scored more points than any other team scored against the Chiefs last year. I'm supposed to ignore all of that because of how the game ended? Am I supposed to pretend that with Ray Davis as the starter our offense would have looked the same? I wish the Bills would invest more in pass catchers that can make that winning play on the final drive, but in lieu of that we still need at least one legit playmaker that can sustain drives and score TDs. Right now that's Cook. He is the only skill player we have that I know can jump start our offense when we need it.
  8. In the "bold predictions" thread I picked the Fish to finish 4th in the AFCE.
  9. All hail to Ceasar…..
  10. Hey, I laughed my a$$ off at the guy who had the affair with my wife
  11. I blame the fans.
  12. Used to listen to him on the AM..............good guy
  13. Not to say he'll be a great one but look back to the posts from the pre season of Bernard's second year and you'll see people calling him a bust and a waste of a pick. And that was his second season. Some people are more premature than me on my wedding night
  14. So he's already been found guilty. The NFL had over a year to gather everything yet they still need to wait another 2 months to have a hearing? Seems like Addison's DUI that didn't hurt people and wasn't a felony didn't go through these hoops I don't remember hearing about a hearing with Von
  15. I thought he was in his 90s when I was watching him in the 90s. Absolute fantastic broadcaster.
  16. Lots of whataboutism from a MAGA tax and spender. And you vote Republican. Oy. I hope you don’t drive it like the stereotype (flying down the thruway whilst dragging a bumper).
  17. Aw man, Arty Baby BooBoo. You'll be missed. We used to get drunk and call in a lot during college (yes I know it was an afternoon show... ).
  18. Some good perspective here. Hopefully he figures it out.
  19. And this clip was from a fricking practice. Regardless if the Lions were throwing a lot or not 14 for 193 is a pretty huge day when the Bills knew they would be throwing to St. Brown. Just not a fan of getting too cocky about things when 0 games have been played this season.
  20. And the bottom of the roster "churn" continues...
  21. Quite incorrect, but not surprising. I have always supported US support for Ukraine. Not sure how you came up with that, but it sure as hell wasn't from me.
  22. Was going to post the same thing. Must have been in his 90s?
  23. Please point out trumps pay to play scheme. This post reeks of tds.
  24. Wow. Not going to lie, I thought he passed long ago. Great media personality in his day.
