  1. Guess not a lot of pro sports organizations were lining up to hire him as President.
  2. For me, i'd take buffalo over florida (and the southeast, texas, etc) I really do like all the seasons and the variability. I also live in the northtowns so we avoid the obsurd snowfall. The Summer is near perfect. Rarely too hot to go outside. Fall is amazing too. Its like someone flipped on the AC. Lots of activities start up and farm stands in full swing. Spring time is also great. The best day of the year is the first day the warm really hits and everyone is outside. I dont mind winter so much. Dont need to pull weeds or cut the grass obsessively. It prevents us from having scary bugs and snakes that will kill you or are the size of a house pet. We also avoid hurricanes and tornadoes which im happy about. The winter does get long though. My main complaint would be that. I wish we could take March and stick it between june and july.
  3. Ill never forget that half when he chased Ohio State around their own field and Urban was at a loss for words
  4. Niagara Falls is an awful idea, as has been hashed over dozens of times and even shot down by the Engineers' study. Not to mention the local government that makes Erie/Buffalo look efficient and forward thinking. The Niagara County population base and infrastructure also isn't equipped to handle costs and emergency personnel, etc. Traffic, the unnecessary and strange fantasy that somehow NF tourist foot traffic will add to football attendance and ticket sales. It would just take up space and add parking lots. Fans would also need to breathe in the noxious soup spewed from chemical plants, landfills, and the garbage burn-plant. It makes most sense for all parties to either perform a huge renovation on New Era Field, or build new on an adjacent lot. At the very least, any significant build should include a roof, even if it is not enclosed. It would be nice to limit wind and protect from the direct rain at the very least. The infrastructure is there. The space is there. Downtown makes sense, but the amount of land acquisition, demolition, infrastructure demands would add a lot (like double) of cost to an already expensive project of design/construction of the building itself. There are also a lot of traffic concerns and it can be/is a nightmare even for Sabres games. We are also talking a very limited number of dates/year so the foot traffic wont support local business to make it worthwhile (we arent getting a lot of events no matter what the facility, most listed are 1-off and/or a fantasy).
  5. I get to click on 30-39 for 2 more weeks
  6. I have been doing the drill for 10+ years. AT&T changed DTV and they seem more comfortable losing subscribers than giving discountss
  7. I tried my call in the Spring (when my bill went up drastically for less service) and I was pretty much stonewalled even when I went off the cliff to cancel. They were happy to cancel my account. I have been with them since 2007. I spoke to two reps in 2 different calls and each of them offered me $10 off my bill for a year and free HBO for 6 months. I cancelled, but walked it back as I wasn't prepared to go to Spectrum (who is even worse). It was the first time they failed to even attempt retention and to make me happy. Now my HBO is going to run out and I am going to try again. If I cant get a better deal (I dont even care about ST), Im cancelling for real AT&T sucks
  8. Jeff Tuel had guns And yeah. For an iconic pro athlete who is billed as being obsessed with preparation, nutrition, taking care of his body, etc. He is soft. Im surprised.
  9. For me? Out of the ones ive been to, East Rutherford/Newark
  10. Good call with Teen Angst
  11. The 90s are my wheelhouse decade due to high school and college years. I believe the 90s was the last great decade of music (it took a turn for the worse in the early/mid 00s when downloads and trying for the homerun single consumed the industry and it went 100% commercial). Favorite Song? Probably the entirety of the Alice in Chains Unplugged session maybe my favorite 1 hit wonder
  12. Going from that initial tweet or instagram or whatever that was, to "believing mccoy set her up", i cant help but feel there isnt a lot of credibility there
  13. Its easy to immediately fear the worst, you would think that if it were bad news, they would get him in there ASAP, not next month... It could be something structurally in there that's bothering him, or maybe hasn't healed correctly or whatever.
  14. Whatever gets me ncaa football video games back
  15. We discussed it here before, but there is nearly 100% chance he was looking to change his career anyways and was just making a good little gimmick for the show/station that bore fruit. I like Brad Riter when he is on. I do not hate each individual host at all (I would rank Bulldog as the worst).... but the station's shows and subject matter is so stale. Riter comes in and puts it on its ear a bit. He had a fill in show last week where he only played and discussed a random collection of clips from his shows 10+ years ago and I was captivated.
  16. it makes sense, based on things like that, the organization taking her out of the forefront a bit.... but it could also be a response to the tide of rumors. You had a few people like Tim graham specifically saying "Its a recognizable person" and 'you will know her' or something like that... narrows the list down quite a bit.
  17. As far as DNA and photographs? No I know first hand that this was a problem, dating back to when he was still "only" the Director of Marketing and having relations "secretly" (everyone knew) with a (married) secretary. A few of the media guys (at least Graham) also floated it out there that this was kind of an on-going problem with him.... as well as that one poster here (Kirby). Kirby is always a Russ Brandon supporter but admitted this was a chronic thing with him. And I'm not sure if it is/was Lauren Hall. It might just be a rumor that got legs and became generally accepted.
  18. Its very rotten ice walking into that territory. The Bills could be open to a lawsuit(s) and a larger public embarrassment if they let her (and Russ' other victims) go because of this. Especially depending on who (if anyone) filed a complaint or brought it to management (or HR's) attention. You cant have a business, especially a large and publicly visible one, where a high level manager (ownership level) leverages his position and status to have sexual relationships with employees. It is bad on numerous levels. When I hear about this, I don't think "good for Russ", I think of him as a pathetic human. He really had a dream career, and he threw it away by being a scumbag throughout. Not to mention his family.
  19. I havent eaten fast food in at least 11 years. and maybe just a handful of times in the last 15. I remember 11 because I had to stop at Checkers on my way home (7 hour drive) from the Sabres/Flyers Game 6 and it ended with me pooping my pants
  20. The Sabres are on a plan to really compete in 2020-2021. If you look at the way their salary structure lines up, as well as them stocking up once again on futures, 2020 will open up. There is going to be another CBA battle at that point and its likely a team with a clear cap conscience will be at an advantage at that point. As an aside, they will also be in good shape for the upcoming expansion draft. Eichel will be 23-24, Dahlen 20, Reinhart 24, Middlestadt 22. Along with whoever in this bulk of picks and young players emerge. They have 3 firsts next season. The likelihood on hitting on at least 1 of them is pretty high. The health of Rochester is what to watch. A healthy and good Amerks team where guys like Nylander, Asplund, Olafsson, Glotov, Borgen, etc are contributing and developing is where the first signs are going to come from. Good young players feeding the core above.... and consistent replenishing is the engine that makes the difference between good, sustainable NHL organizations and the dregs of the league.
  21. "... and my legal counsel: Pinto Ron"
  22. Im not sure... Of course, I only know whats been released. I would suspect IF true, McCoy isnt a criminal mastermind and this was a sloppy and bumbling operation and it will come unraveled.
  23. It seems that this woman is a lowlife parasite,..... but it also seems McCoy messed up very bad. Like possible jail time bad. We will see when all the facts come it. Doesnt look good all around.
