Anything you look back on fondly that hasn’t aged well?

When I was a kid, I thought TV dinners were delicious. Right now, the thought of eating one makes my stomach churn -
Questions for those of us who endured the drought
May Day 10 replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
1991, the bills were regarded as the class of the nfl, probably going to their eventual showdown with the 49ers. It was the greatest season in bills history, quite possibly. That was the peak of those teams. Last season reminded me a lot of 1991, and there is a feeling that this team has not peaked. Also, mind you, the afc was measurably weaker than the nfc in the bills' glory years. The nfc had dominated the superbowl for many years, and most weren't even competitive. They basically just needed to outlast deeply flawed teams in Miami, Denver, and houston, and sometimes Pittsburgh and la -

Yeah. Because some showed frustration that a snake like Russ Brandon was perpetually the proxy GM.... we got: "shut up man, youre not a real fan. they can win the super bowl and you would still find something to complain about!" -
This is a really good get. Impressive

2 seasons ago. That's when I lost bbfs. They clearly were a competent team, well prepared, well managed, and had the athletes to execute. I lost my perpetual fear that they were going to self inflict losing from the jaws of victory. I really want that home playoff game in front of a sellout crowd. That is the one thing I fantasized about throughout the drought years -
Well, you may be trying to get a lot of the Canadian fans (or potential fans) to stay there 'on campus'. Then you get a number of shopping options right there with some eateries and such. Plus, with sports-gambling, who knows what they are going to have on the premises (or what they can have). Out of town non-canadian fans too would likely go there and stay. You could have some real hustle and bustle and fun for those 8-10 weekends the Bills play... Kind of a ritzier version of the RV-lot. But yeah, you would need a hook for other dates and more of a constant flow. Let's say they can nab 10 decent draw events over the course of a typical year (might be generous, but who knows what they can get).

Yeah^ They have done nothing to convince me anything is different or competent.

I think this is just the natural progression of things and part of getting older. You have seen nearly everything. Seasons, champions, players, etc come and pass seemingly overnight. You get to a point where you are older than most/all athletes. With that said too, things arent as good as 'in my day' which my dad used to try to tell me and I scoffed at it. Im sure his dad told him that, and I tell my kid that too. -

ESPN is a victim of the internet and saturation of sports TV and other media. -
Its bad decisions, not the 2013-2015 'tank'. There is also a culture of losing There are also bad attitudes. There are terrible hires and people with no business in their positions (Adams) Many things combined to make this the worst-run pro sports organization. How come the Astros dont have a 'culture of losing'? Nothing will be fixed until it is fixed. Adams has accomplished nothing but steward one of the worst seasons (again) in franchise history. He failed to anything with goaltending, they had none under contract a little while ago, and signed a 40 year old (I had no idea he was still in the NHL), and a complete nobody sharing a name with the Kingdom on Frozen, both for the league minimum. The organization has 2 modes under Pegula: Go for it at all costs and waste all the cap and burn through assets.... or tear it all down until you hit magma. There is no in between because Pegula is a simpleton and running the show.

I think a lot of it is the mixing of Hatfield's voice and how synthesized it sounds... as well as that little tail-thing he does after words sounds really hokey nowadays. -

Yeah, Im a Nirvana guy, but it isn't aging particularly well. Alice In Chains on the other hand is absolutely brilliant and gets better and better. -

I was never a huge fan, but it seemed cool at the time, but Metallica studio tracks haven't aged too well IMO. -
I drop my kids off at school in niagara County and can see the Toronto skyline clear as day, including the rogers centre/skydome.

Who is “America’s team?” (Hint, it’s GB)
May Day 10 replied to Beerball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Cowboys are, mainly because they were the only team televised Nationally for awhile and were also really good during that time period. Many people around in their 50s, 60s and 70s right now are Cowboys fans due to that exposure. Itll really fade over the next couple decades though. Especially since they have been groping around for a long time with little success. The Packers is a good one. Besides people in maybe Chicago and Minnesota, I dont think many people really dislike the Packers. A lot of people probably pull for them over other, more 'metropolitan' teams. They have a pretty long and wholesome history, and kicked off the Superbowl era. -
Cleveland Indians announce their new name: Cleveland Guardians
May Day 10 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in Off the Wall
After digesting it for a few days, it's not bad. It's jarring for a name change, especially in baseball where you have had teams named the same thing for over 100 years. But guardians is very similar in cadence to Indians. The C letter mark, which I assume will be the primary logo and on the hat, is an improvement over the drab block C they currently use. The color scheme and aesthetics are basically the same. In 2 years, nobody will notice the difference or care -
I don't care how they feel or their views. I dont base our players on that at all. But stop being a distraction, getting in the news and swatting the hornet's nest. Its one of the few things that can really derail this team this season.
