  1. I find it hard to believe that the Pirates are more popular in PA than the Stillers.
  2. I'm most interested in 2c. As in, I want 2c him win.
  3. It was. "Giant" was the adjective of the OP's thread title. He left off the noun which would've gotten him banned...
  4. That's what I wanted to hear...can't wait for the Wegman's to open here in the West End of Richmond. The family & I will be staying with my Aunt & Uncle in Jamestown but that probably won't work for you. Give her the full effect...get your passports, head to the Anchor Bar, then over the Peace Bridge into Canada, then back into the US via the Rainbow Bridge, then on to Duff's. That's what I did when I brought a buddy up from VA for his first game & trip to Buffalo a few years back. He's a Washington fan but had the time of his life and pulls for the Bills because of my brother & me. He loved WNY. And, no, I didn't take him to the 'ballet'...I wanted him to go back to his wife in VA.
  5. Seriously?? Most people were simply pointing out what an ass he was for calling out Sammy Watkins for nothing. He's not the worst safety in the world but he's not as good as his trash talking ego thinks he is either. But whatever...
  6. Ugh. What a classless turd. Let it go, Whitner. Good luck chasing Sammy all over the field...you'll be seeing a lot of his backside.
  7. Well, you were about to say "Uncle!" upthread, sooooooooooooo...
  8. The rule is pretty straight forward, not difficult to understand, and has been covered ad nauseam. At this point, anyone asking whether it's possible to own two franchises in the same market or saying that it's not is either a simpleton, trolling, or being sarcastic/busting chops...or, possibly, a combination of the three. GO T-PEGS!! GO BILLS!!!
  9. Metropoulos bought the 'Hostess' snack cake line for $410 million last year. http://business.time.com/2013/03/21/how-do-you-revive-twinkies-a-qa-with-the-new-owners-the-metropoulous-brothers/ FWIW, I don't see how he can get the Bills without major help. His net worth was "only" estimated at around $1.3 billion. He's from Greenwich, Connecticut with no visible ties to WNY that I can find and reportedly would've moved the Jags to LA had he been successful in his bid. I wouldn't trust him with WNYs most prized possession.
  10. jw...are any of your sources at the moment speculating that Pegula will bid? If not, is your gut feeling that he will or won't? Thx.
  11. In before the lock...um, I mean...I voted for you. You had me at "I taught my dog to understand the phrase 'Squish the Fish'." lol Good luck, e.
  12. 233 say keep him, 13 say cut him. 13. Those 13 are probably at the head of the line squawking about "how many holes this team has". So let's create another one by releasing one of the most talented players on the roster. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight. He'd be scooped up in a NY minute. He's immature and definitely guilty of poor judgement but he's done nothing egregious to this point. The lack of football knowledge and over-reaction by this baker's dozen is laughable and sad at the same time. Righteous indignation...the mantra of 'Sully's Troll Army".
  13. Exactly. The concession to Canadians is that the stadium would be closer to them in Niagara Falls and would give them a sense of the team being more theirs than in years past. The idea is to strengthen the Canadian fan base, not to give them the team and ignore the WNY/Rochester fan base. They don't get a concession on the name, too. It stays Buffalo Bills. Period.
  14. (Sad but true). BTW, I had a Reuben Gant "poster" as a kid. It wasn't a real photo but rather one of those art drawings with a small player bio and came in the comic strips of the Sunday Buffalo News. In later years, they actually started using photos. I believe one of the photo posters I had may have been of Keith Moody. You said it, kid. Shows just how little this franchise has valued the TE position over the years.
  15. Agreed. Jerry Butler should also be an option at WR. And Reuben Gant at TE?? Please. He was one of the biggest busts in Bills history.
  16. I was going to echo the same exact sentiments. I'd also add Rick Azar (Bills) and Ted Darling (Sabres) to that list. Those of us who grew up listening to these great voices are truly blessed. Congrats to Van Miller. A long overdue and truly deserved honor. Thanks for the memories.
  17. I'm pulling for EJ but the jury is still out on him. And while I like Mayock, he's not infallible. He wasn't exactly sold on Cam Newton when he was being drafted. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/04/25/mayock-on-cam-newton-i-dont-know-how-great-he-wants-to-be/
