  1. Yeah, he probably thought we had no chance of even making the playoffs at that point.
  2. I touched it with my bare hands when the security guard wasn't looking. And I agree with everything else you said. The only HOF experience that compares to seeing the Stanley Cup is walking into the actual baseball Hall in Cooperstown where they have all the plaques. I've been to Canton and Springfield as well (both new and old) and neither has an experience that comes close.
  3. It never would have come down to the last play if Flutie hadn't paced the sidelines all game with his helmet on going "when can I play, coach, huh? huh? when can I play?" Without that distraction the Bills would have won by three touchdowns.
  4. The castle (Casa Loma) is pretty cool. And of course there's the Hockey Hall of Fame. It's actually not much of a museum but the room where they keep the Cup is the piece de resistance. Just seeing le Coupe Stanley makes it worth the price of admission. We are going over on the ferry next weekend. Gonna take the kids to Canada's Wonderland.
  5. Yeah but his house looked like sh--!
  6. Just when I think I'm out... they pull me back in!
  7. Did they not provide shuttle buses for this event or are these people too good for that sort of thing? For the PGA here they didn't allow ANY on-street parking within a mile of Oak Hill. They tried their best to nail people parking in Pittsford Plaza and sneaking over to the drop-off entrance near the 16th green, too. The lady I told you about had a sliding scale of prices during the week. Something like $15 for the practice rounds, going up to $20 on Thursday and Friday, $30 on Saturday and $40 on Sunday.
  8. We were very careful to declare our income from parking and rent that year (we rented our house to a corporate group for Tuesday and Wednesday of that week). I doubt everyone else was so scrupulous. Eight dollars for water is !@#$ing criminal. I felt guilty selling water bottles for $2.
  9. Everything you just said about Baltusrol applies to Oak Hill as well, except the fees and costs are lower (this ain't Northern Jersey). I parked cars on my lawn for the 2003 PGA (I live about 100 yards from the third tee). On Sunday a guy drove up and said he didn't want to pay $20 to park on my lawn but if I let him park there for free he'd give me his extra ticket. I think I made out pretty good on that one. A neighbor who lives on a corner lot of my street and East Avenue sold pre-paid reservations to park on her lawn during the PGA. Because they have a corner lot they could get more cars on the lawn; I heard she cleared 12 grand for the week.
  10. Not enough pictures.
  11. Hi Rudy.
  12. Can't do that. I got 8 of the first 12 and then 30 of the last 88.
  13. Didn't he last about two weeks working for Jimmy Kimmel before crawling back to Bristol?
  14. Come on guys. Simmons was just excited because he thought he might have found somebody for Tom Brady.
  15. And what is Gene Frenkle doing on the Sports Guy page?
  16. Que es Sarah?
  17. Really? I thought he sat back in his chair and it folded up and he fell between the seat and the seat back, and hurt his hand trying to break his fall.
  18. Respectfully disagree. This is a guy you want on the field as much as possible to stretch the field for Moulds and Evans, as well as to provide yet another reverse threat. Plus the article in this morning's D&C quoted, I think, Willis as saying that Parrish has one of the best arms on the team. Not too far-fetched to imagine him posing the same kind of threat in that department as Antwaan Randle El. I can't imagine any reasonable scenario in which he WON'T be the third wideout. Even if his hand is still dinged, put him out there and make defenses think.
  19. Unfortunately I cannot confess to the same thoughts because of my age and all. But I hear you, brother.
  20. She may not be the only one. Jenna von Oy looks a bit lighter on top now, I'm ashamed to be able to say, than she did during her later years on "Blossom."
  21. No schitt. The last year people around here took any kind of unbridled joy in winning was probably 1988, after those horrible mid-'80s years. Ever since then it's been "well yeah they won, but they didn't win by enough" or "well yeah they won but _____ looked like crap" or, lately, "well yeah they won but they couldn't hold a candle to those SB teams."
  22. Stay tuned for "Taking JJ Arrington And Acting All Pissed At Buffalo: The Story of the 2005 Arizona Cardinals Draft."
  23. I know. I'm 36 and still have the Picture This LP and cassettes of Sports and Fore!. I was only busting on Pooj... I'd probably have gone myself (like I did to Van Halen last year ).
  24. Some of these should have had a notation: "after implants."
