This came up again yesterday. I’d like to clarify that: All game-related discussion belongs in the official game discussion topics. General topics about the team and players, not associated with the current game action, are welcome. Thanks.

Interesting fact about Robert Plant‘s first solo performance post Led Zeppelin in Buffalo… Well at least interesting to me. In 1983 he came to Buffalo on September 16 where tickets were an outrageous $16 a pop. No opening band and the ticket stub said “An evening with Robert Plant“. After a great show where he only played his solo stuff and refusd to play any Led Zeppelin… He did his encore thing and left the stage. The lights went on as a signal for everyone to get the hell out and go home. No one left. We all stood and cheered and I honestly don’t know how long how much time had passed, but they actually turned the lights back off and he came back out on stage for another encore (Little Sister). I had never seen that before in my life. No one EVER comes back once the lights go on. It was a very special moment recognizing his return to the stage after the break up of Led Zeppelin.

If anyone thinks drug cartels are just going to pack up their things and go home after losing the mj trade think again. The streets are awash in opiods that are taking mj's place in their revenue stream.

Title is not good. Good catch.

This topic is perfectly acceptable as it has a relevance beyond just a game day comment.

Thanks Einstein. The OP changed the title to be more descriptive prior to your snark.

What did you like about the feed?

It’s nice that our community was able to help. I wish Pancho well through this difficult time. In the future, ALL efforts to fundraise through our community must be approved be me. Nicely done by all who contributed.

Home opener is not sold out? Yikes.

I think people are ok with that. Jerry’s voice was never revered by the fan base. There’s nothing wrong with freshening the scene.

Looking forward to it as always!

As a general announcement, any fundraising activities should be cleared through me prior to posting. I wish pancho well.

So, what was Tim not interested in?

So, this topic has run its course... It is hard to read the same inaccurate accounts over and over. To summarize: - The Buffalo News did not layoff Tim Graham in a cost savings measure. Tim left by his choice, with no payout. - BN did not layoff John Vogl (he asked to leave) nor Jerry Sullivan (he was reassigned and then he asked to leave). - Given Tim's reaction to the news room departures, his unfortunate tweet regarding Vic (and later deletion), and his sudden departure - it is clear there was some behind the scenes acrimony. - BN is hiring new people for these positions. Anywhere from 3-6 is what I understand. They may do well. They may fall flat on their faces. Time will tell.

No. It is clear that Tim left the news by choice.
