May Day 10

I loved the guy. Very sad to hear the news today.

"pray and desire" gag

I really like the Astros to take another step.

Bennett isn't really that good

Word. It's always been so critical for them to get home field to play playoff games in the palace of cheating. 4 games without Brady hurts that

I have had an authentic Philly Cheesesteak with Cheese Whiz and it was wonderful

This "joke" is so played out and not relevant. I have lived both places and both cities have wonderful things to offer, as well as drawbacks. Also, how is Lake Erie 35 miles from Buffalo?

I think the larger problem is the management/program managing. The topics and format is so tired. I believe something like 200 days in the past 4 years the entire show has been dedicated to the Bills QB situation. Every show: Bulldog takes the side most in line with the fans, Schopp take the other side/unpopular opinion, take callers (the same rotation of callers I dont care to hear from). Please, cover other stuff... and circle back to the Buffalo teams. I would be interested in hearing about other local sports.... even non-local. Discuss MLB (other than any "hot" topic that is top news that day). Discuss NBA (im not even a fan). It would be so refreshing. Beating the Sabres and Bills to dust makes for terrible programming. IMO this was one of the things that made Empire Sports and WNSA so great. It would cover a much wider variety of things, and you would look forward to them hitting the Bills and Sabres. Now it is like eating nothing but one flavor ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for 10 straight years.

Not at all. Much like the Bills, and to an extent, the Jets. They can make all the moves in the world.... but until they prove it, I cant take them seriously.

I agree. I don't understand entirely why people here gush for sal. To me he just sounds like a semi-knowledgeable fan who yells into the microphone. He is also a complete bills lackey and they could do no wrong. I thought buscaglia was 100x better in that role. It felt like he was objective, and also lived for homework (sal has a young kid and can't do nearly as much). I like schopp... unfortunately, his wheelhouse isn't allowed to be discussed on wgr. Sometimes he is rough to listen to doing 15 hours a week on only the bills and sabres. I think nonstop talk on that station about just the 2 teams gets very tiresome

Futurama is great.

Yeah. Russell Brandon sold those tickets

I think Duff's is good. Not the best in town, but way better than Anchor Bar and better than most. Mild wings would likely be bad.

he was good. i like bills players who play good give him munny

Maybe for a pass interference greater than 20 yards?

Back in Manning's day, pre 2014, he would be worth the price of admission/a ticket. Watching him run an offense and fling the ball everywhere was awesome. But yeah, its tough to get over the past 2 years looking at Manning as its fresh. I would never classify Brady as an "I have to buy a ticket to see this guy" QB. Most times it seems their offense is predicated on "guessing correctly". They go for the sideline pass, slant pass, seam to TE, or a RB draw at the perfect times. Players are wide open and run after they have the ball. Now it does take mental skill to run the "system" or whatever you would call that as well as deliver the ball... but I dont know. Im not even sure if Brady has that extensive of a "highlight reel" of awesome/athletic plays.

I just cant give it to him. Hitting slant passes and somehow "guessing" the defenses doesnt equate to best-ever for me. With all the questions surrounding him and Belichick... cant do it. Cant get over it. Looking at Manning over his career, he was so much more impressive. At least by the eyeball test. I would also say Marino and Elway were better. If you shrouded those guys in a "system" like Brady enjoys... as well as modern passing rules... I think they would have much more impressive careers Also being more "motivated" there means cheating extra hard.

Music will get him more broads

This is why I'm happy to see players decide to leave early... and even things like aaron Maybin who put one over.

thanks. It is siding. It seems like it may just be in the 2 corners that there is a problem. Its as if the builder didnt get everything level and just propped up the 2 corners with shims or something. I dont mind bugs so much (or even the snakes)... but not in the basement... especially if Im going to pour money into making it into a living area and walling the sides off like that.

The Foundation is above grade and the rim joist is above that. I was finding pill bugs/potato bugs around the basement as well as few dead baby snakes... I called an exterminator and he said that it was a bit moist down there which attracted those things at different times of the year. I got a dehumidifier and that helps, but not all the way. So I started to 'finish' my basement myself starting with insulating the rim joist and eventually gluing rigid to the concrete walls... In the corner I did, the batting insulation they put in was blackened. Pulling it back, there was a concentration of pill bugs and lady bugs on the concrete and I could see daylight and feel airflow from the outside in some gaps. So I caulked/great stuffed it... and then insulated it with rigid and non-backing fiberglass. I did that to all the rim joist in the area there I made this into a storage room that is very well insulated from the outside, no more bugs and stuff like that. It was a lot of work doing that area. Also, there are a lot of 'deeper' boxes that will be tough to do. But in one other corner, there is a higher concentration of the bugs/etc that I am going to have to plug up. Does that make sense now?

So the cops placed am order, Mccoy arrived and wanted the order, so he brutally attacked them? I have a hard time believing that scenario.

I think the general thought is /was valid. The NHL would more often try to put the ASG in non-traditional, upcoming/struggling markets to create buzz where it otherwise wasnt. They don't really have anything to gain putting it in Buffalo as we are relatively maxed-out. The "outdoor games" have become more of the bone to throw to 'traditional' markets. Not only that, the ASG has become a large scale entertainment event in and around the host city. Nashville had various events staged throughout the city, which has many attractions, is "hip", and the weather isn't likely to be 10 degrees (although they had that winter storm a week prior). The next one has been scheduled for Los Angeles. Its not always the rule, but the league prefers the event where it is beneficial. Ottawa recently had one, and Montreal had one for their anniversary in (09?)... but other than that it has remained pretty consistently teams that didnt really exist prior to the 90s (Ottawa wasnt either but they are a different case). Los Angeles will now be hosting it for the 3rd time since Buffalo has. I do think that Pegula has been asking, and it may be a matter of time. They will probably get some outdoor games, maybe as a tradoff. the 50th anniversary may be a possibility too.

Grand Island thanks for the insight, apusz. Was considering a dricore type product. We have the baggie on the top half of the basement walls right now. I guess ideally, you want that down and glue and seal rigid foam to the concrete... but that is a pretty big additional cost and I'm not sure if its all that necessary.
