May Day 10

Its ridiculous that it comes down to you need to "ask a certain way". For 10 years, it was a routine call to "cancel" with a wink, the nice rep knew exactly what was going on, and would offer me discounts and promotions that made me feel valued, and created a loyal customer. It isn't worth any effort to be honest. For over $100 less, i have the same content, actually more because streaming. No bulky boxes (that cost leasing) and outages when it rains hard.

those are like generic names that a video game would name imaginary teams as a placeholder until the user names the teams themself

6-10 and McDermott/Beane are still solid/safe IMO. I sense the Pegulas intend on sticking with management of both the Sabres and Bills for more than the typical 3 year window as they are exhausted with firing people. They also want to try the whole 'continuity' thing in practice. I think they absolutely planned on hanging onto Housley as late as February, but the Sabres went into a spectacularly bad slide in the last 1/4 of the season, losing like 17 of 18 games and only winning like 5 in regulation after New Year's or something like that. There was no choice but to can Housley. IMO, it would take a really bad season. Like 1-4 wins, along with a major public blowout/tune-out of the players and/or falling out with ownership.

My hopes arent very high. They had a near perfect film with The Matrix. Matrix 2 was kind of a mess, but had some great moments and scenes. Matrix 3, a little less and got a little cheesy. Honestly, it was almost impossible to keep The Matrix story going keeping the same standard as the original Many years have passed. No Fishbourne either is a huge blow.

I dont really mind schopp. I do think he brings a voice of logic that i appreciate. It does feel like he and even moreso bulldog have mailed it in a bit on their jobs and profession. I'd say howard simon as well. I like them as people and everything. Bulldog in particular, i have no idea what he brings to the table at this point.

I think this season would need to be a spectacular disaster for mcdermott to even be a candidate for firing.

I hate him so much. Cant stand it CANT WAIT TO TUNE IN TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT HE SAYS NEXT

They met last month and decided to let it ride with what they have (for now)

Yeah. Its not worth working at that point. How can you even ask a parent to do that?

I actually think this is their intentional schtick. Howard tries to act overly like an out of touch old guy. I wonder if this might nudge Jeremy out of the radio biz.

Unreal. Couldnt imagine. And yeah. Lol @ golf anytime ever

I thought it was weird that the 90 giants were ranked higher, while acknowledging that them beating the Bills was an upset. IMO, the 90 Bills should be ranked ahead of the Giants, who probably shouldnt be on that list TBH. They were the 3rd best team in the NFL that season. 34th is a nice slot for a non-SB winning team though and a nice honor.

He has been negative, but frankly, that was the appropriate mind-frame with this organization. Just now they seem to be turning the corner into being a relevant NFL team for the first time in this millennium.

I recall being told there would be a bidding war for russ brandon, and doug whaley would land on another nfl team in "5 minutes" if the bills ever made the "mistake" of getting rid of them.

Do you guys think the parade route will go down delaware to city hall? Or will they have it closer to the harbor?

Parade route

no celebration of the Sabres killing it with their 50th anny 3rds?

My price increased sharply as discounts expired. I called and was stonewalled with only $10 off and free HBO, etc for 3 months. I cancelled and they were willing to oblige. I kept it for a little bit because I wasnt ready to cancel. Tried a couple more times and continued to be stonewalled. I was with them 12+ years and no contract. I cancelled about 2 months ago and it is great. I wish I did it sooner.

That was my second game ever. They honored OJ and the Electric Company before the game

November 8, 1992 https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199211080buf.htm Bills 28, Steelers 20 I remember seeing on NFL gameday a feature on Kelso getting so many interceptions and me not believing it was already week 10. Also I remember Jim Kelly being awesome. I remember the DUTY FREE jingle on the PA. I was 14. My father hates the Bills and NFL so I never had a chance to go. A friend of the family took me and a friend, I was pretty star-struck. **I did go to the Rockpile a hundred times to watch the Bisons and a few other events (I think I saw a Buff State vs Canisius football game there)

I have given the reason 10x. The cobblestone district and arena are set back away from the highway, with some minor roads and cross-streets with a number of stoplights to get back to the only real route out of there. From most lots, you even need to make some turns (along with a thousand other people). It results in grid-lock cascading all the way back into the lots in the event of a game that everyone stays until the end. There is also no passable public transit option. You can plainly see it in the 3rd period of a Sabres game, even when its close. People bail to get a jump out of there and there are many blue seats. In order to correct this for a cobblestone or perry projects stadium, it will cost hundreds of millions. Other cities have the stadium and lots butting up against an interstate, sometimes 2 (like the mentioned Ogden St location). Cars get to the access of the highway from the lots and fan out quickly, with a little aid from police to direct traffic smoothly. Most of the cities named have a robust city-proper population and a formidable public transit system. Many people do not use/need vehicles. Leaving a Bills game now isn't optimal, but it is much better than a Sabres game, even with many more vehicles. You have a grid of major roads with multiple lanes that pass by most lots (Abbott, 20A, Southwestern). That gets people moving in a relatively reasonable amount of time.

This one is also a tough one. Corey Hirsch https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/corey-hirsch-dark-dark-dark

I have followed the Malarchuk story along his path, and incredibly proud of how he has survived... and also how he has channeled his struggles into helping countless people.

The city doesnt collapse after sabres games, but it is very inconvenient. I find myself leaving in the 2nd intermission more and more and the traffic situation can be a deciding factor for me to stay at home.
