  1. Or at least on the inside of his right temporal lobe.
  2. Or eat at whatever restaurant that was where Bruce took his fiancee out to dinner. I mean, if they were going to say it was in Buffalo, the least they could have done was mention street names that actually EXISTED in Buffalo. Wasn't there one address that was like "55th Street" or something?
  3. Maybe they're going to explore the lost streets of Buffalo where "Bruce Almighty" was filmed.
  4. Whatever happened to Go Bills We are your fans so true Go Bills For we are here to cheer for you With victory in sight We'll cheer with all our might So fight, Bills, fight Bills, go!
  5. We had WRs named Flipper Johnson, Kamil Loud, and Kwame Cavil and a cornerback named Filmel Johnson. You may be thinking of one or all of them.
  6. I grew up in Penfield and when I was 10 years old, not being good enough to make Majors in Little League, I was playing in what was called the "International League." In this league there was less emphasis on winning (although we took it seriously) and more emphasis on everybody getting to play, and to play various positions as well. I got a chance to pitch in one game and there's only one at-bat I remember. The other team had this 12-year-old who had no business being in our league. I can't remember why the hell he was in our league other than that maybe he missed tryouts or something. He was basically the Kelly Leak of our league, and had already broken two windshields that summer with long home runs into the Town Hall parking lot. I remember when he came up against me, our leftfielder basically went to the fence and stood there. First pitch, he swung from his heels and missed. Strike one. Second pitch, another big swing. Fouled back over the backstop. Strike two. Third pitch, same thing. Whoosh. Strike three. I have no idea what happened. The kid probably hit .800 that summer and I'm not sure anyone struck him out, let alone on three pitches. I got mobbed at the mound. Point of the story, besides to brag is that in today's world I'd never have gotten the chance to face him. Parents probably would have bitched loud and long about how he didn't belong in the league, threatened to sue, etc. etc., and gotten him moved up or out, thereby denying me a moment that has stayed with me for 26 years.
  7. I'd rather not and say I do.
  8. Earliest sports memory is of watching OJ run. I'm 36 and have been a Bills fan for nigh on 30 years.
  9. He had to wear a single digit number so there would be more room for his crib sheets. I know he had one taped from his elbow to his wrist but as the years go by I start to think of him with plays written all over his jersey, pants and socks. He might have had his name taped somewhere where he could see it, too, in case he forgot it.
  10. Boy isn't that the damn truth.
  11. That's pretty much what I was. I also had issues with authority. Loner 75% Punk/Rebel 69% Prep/Jock/Cheerleader 44% Geek 31% Goth 25% Stoner 13% Drama nerd 0% Ghetto gangsta 0%
  12. Roenick may have been taken "out of context," but he's been in the league and talking to the media long enough to know how that works. Every time I look at JR I think of one of the best comebacks I've ever heard a player make -- from Patrick Roy a few years ago: "Yeah, I thought Jeremy Roenick was saying something to me out there, but I couldn't understand him because I had my two Stanley Cup rings plugging up my ears."
  13. I personally think you get a better view from the top of the Hancock tower than Sears (Hancock is farther north, right in the middle of the Magnificent Mile, and there's more things to see on the north side). For pizza I'd go to Gino's on Rush.
  14. Offense all-time: Dan Marino Offense present: Tom Brady Defense all-time: Bryan Cox Defense present: Rodney Harrison Coach all-time: Pete Carroll Coach present: Mike Martz
  15. Does she really bat for the other team? Pity. A friend and I followed her during the back 9 at Locust Hill last week.
  16. It was actually only 1,105 words. Maybe it just SEEMED like 10,000.
  17. A friend of mine went down to Pittsburgh when he was a kid to see the Cardinals play the Pirates in a weekend series. They stayed at the Cards' team hotel and one morning he saw Red Schoendienst in the lobby (this was during the early '80s when Red was a coach). Not doing anything, not talking to anybody, just hanging around. He excitedly ran up to him and said, real respectfully, "Mr. Schoendienst, could I please have your autograph, sir?" Ol' Red just looked right through him and walked off. Uh oh I think BF's gonna be in this thread soon. On the other hand, I once met Stan Musial at a celebrity softball game in St. Louis during the late '70s and the Man couldn't have been nicer to everyone, chatting up all the kids and signing 'til his hand near fell off. For free. They don't make 'em like Stan the Man anymore.
  18. I thought OJ held out that summer? I remember going to Niagara on a summer camp field trip and being all excited, then pissed because O.J. wasn't there. Didn't he miss all of camp that year? Not trying to play gotcha. Just wondering if maybe you had the year wrong?
  19. "The Boston gig is cancelled. I wouldn't worry about it. It's not a big college town."
  20. John "Stumpy" Pepys.
  21. I'm still laughing about this part: How could you call him the chick in this relationship, Chuck? A chick would have taken six paragraphs to describe what Real so succinctly set forth there!
  22. You have one too many players on your first list. Kobe belongs on your second list.
  23. I enjoy haiku But too many poets here Can't count to seven.
  24. Would you believe she's 30 years old now? Man do I feel old.
