Metal Man

Definitely something I'll never forget even 30 years later so I can thank them for that. Could have just been being an impressionable youth but even though I can't remember many details I do remember thinking the show was incredible.

My parent's took me to see him on the Purple Rain tour at the aud. I was 10 or 11 years old and it was the first big time concert I ever went to. RIP

With all of this international game talk about really upping the amount of games played outside of the US it really seems necessary for them to design a better way to distribute who is losing their home games. I saw someone float an idea on the boards a while back that would make a lot of sense. Add a 17th game to the schedule that is played as a neutral field game for every team and then an extra bye week that always comes after your international match-up. The way it is now some teams are always getting boned out of a home game which to me really hurts the competitive balance of the league.

Anyone in the WNY area looking for a nostalgic video game experience should check out the video game museum upstairs at the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester. They have a lot of old school coin-ops as well as some modern things. Plus the game/toy museum itself it pretty cool to go through. http://www.museumofplay.org/collections/video-and-other-electronic-game-collections

I was thinking about a lot of this stuff as well. Everyone just seemed to forget the survival rules. I'd also add why did they allow that kid to continue to play his stupid record. I get that the house was getting overrun anyway but I can't imagine Rick and the gang would just ignore all of that extra sound drawing more zombies upstairs. As for wolf guy I couldn't believe that Morgan would just leave the doctor alone with him like that.

+1 I was thinking the exact same thing. I've seen 10 year old kids on youtube selling moves better than that. Come on Bruce!

Agree with this philosophy but can we really be sure that the coaches don't have something like this in mind as well after only one game? Rex hinted that there will be new looks on D for the Pats** so I don't see how it would be a shocker to anyone that Roman held back some of their better plays designed for Sammy for this game as well.

Thanks, must have mistaken it for something else.

None of the gambling laws seem to make a lot of sense to anyone thinking logically. Better lobbyists is the only thing that makes any sense to me. I thought I read somewhere that ESPN was an investor in Draft Kings too but I couldn't find a link quickly.

Me and my friend were having the discussion about how these sites are legal a couple weeks ago. Here is what he dug up: http://gamboool.com/how-is-fanduel-legal-and-is-it-legal-to-play-daily-fantasy-sports-like-football-baseball-and-basketball-for-money Basic breakdown is that in 2006 a bill was signed by Pres Bush dealing with online gambling, and basically killed online poker, craps, etc (bye bye Poker Stars, that Tilt Stars site, etc). BUT it said that a small caveat was built into the bill carving out horse racing and sports betting, and calling fantasy betting a game of "skill". The MLB pushed for that caveat, and they said that in the end sports guys were better lobbyists than those in the gaming industry. So fantasy betting is looked at as a skill thing...and protected by this caveat in the bill for online gambling.

I'm surprised no one is thinking Dallas over NYG. Division games are usually risky but with Dallas at home and NY looking like they could be a mess this season I'd probably lean towards this game in a survivor pool. Week 1 is tough to predict.

So if I understand the rules correctly couldn't he as a free inhabitant of the earth afforded all the human rights without having to follow any laws just have shot her in the head? As long as he declared his free inhabitant status and clarified that he was protecting his right to not listen to her annoying rants I can't see how he would get in any trouble seeing the law against murder also wouldn't apply to him specifically.

I'm not sure how any objective minded football fan wouldn't come to the same conclusion easily. The one thing I find the most ridiculous in this article, and when this was all going on, is how everyone in the Pats organization insisted that the taping had little if any effect on any games and that it provided very little advantage. Seems like no one asked the most obvious question in response, if it was so useless then why spend resources on it for 6+ years?

Ouch, this line hurt. "Looking back on it, several former Patriots coaches insist that spying helped them most against less sophisticated teams -- the Dolphins and Bills chief among them -- whose coaches didn't bother changing their signals. "

Lot's of hot pictures on her instagram but the best part is some guy commented variations of "You're a Wore" on a bunch of her photos.

I was at a friend's draft last night. Shady went last pick in the 1st round, 12th. Sammy was near the start of the 6th round and Bills D was the first D off the board near the end of the 6th. (Woods also ended up getting drafted late, 12th round I think)

Individual statistics in a team sport never really tell the true story. This is especially true in football which imho is the ultimate team sport. For me baseball is probably the only team sport where someone can be efficiently judged by their individual numbers.

Hopefully they can now move on to removing the labeling of 'male' and 'female' ends of electrical cords. It is only a matter of time before it offends a male who identifies more with the receiving end of an extension cord. Not sure how the people who name these things can sleep at night. In all seriousness though language is about inflection and intent. For the most part it is usually pretty clear to figure out whether a person is being derogatory or innocent in a statement. If someone is stupid enough to confuse the latter with the former then that is squarely on them.

I would certainly hope so. Hopefully that, or at the very least a Superbowl win, would be enough to bring even those who were most down about Shout being played out of the stadium around to loving the song again.

This gets to the core of it. The song may be cheesy but it really does help the crowd come alive in the stadium, especially with the easy sing-along aspect. It might seem stupid to celebrate after a score when the team is still down 2+ scores but if it gets the crowd riled up and back into it a bit then it is worth doing. As far as playing it in other venues I would say that is a matter of personal preference. We used to play it after scores at home during the Superbowl years which I thought was great, but I was a teenager at the time. I've also been at weddings that played it and thought it made for some fun though I personally wouldn't want it played at my wedding.

Same here. "Infectious" is the perfect way to describe it. Everyone around gets caught up in the music immediately and it is very rare to see anyone in the crowd not moving along in some way to the music. Definitely one of those bands it is impossible to stand still for.

It was the NYS Blues Festival in Clinton Square and it was with the Family Band. During their last song they did their signature move where everyone swaps instruments a couple of times while they just jam. Good stuff, and the weather was perfect for an outdoor show. Hopefully I get the chance to check him out with the Word sometime as well.

Randall Cunningham I was at a game in Buffalo where he made an incredible play that always stuck with me. He was scrambling around in his own end zone looking for an open receiver and somehow was able to shake off Bruce, even though it appeared Bruce had both hands on him, and finally find an open man who took it all the way for what ended up as a 99 yard TD. Probably helped me to enjoy that play seeing that the Bills still crushed Philly that day.

Caught him a couple of weeks ago in Syracuse for my third time. They always put on a great show. https://youtu.be/5JB-UrsqnAA

Heh, well that is kind of close. I probably expected it to be practically edible at best and actually enjoyed it enough to go back multiple times. Though for some it might fit your description better. Someone above described it well when comparing food tastes to music, definitely subjective. I've seen places serve coleslaw on a pulled pork sandwich and heard people rave about it, but for me...
