Metal Man

It is only about a 30 minute drive from the original Dinosaur so the post was for the benefit of those in the Syracuse vicinity. I definitely wasn't trying to entice someone living in a food hot bed like New Orleans. (had rabbit jambalaya down there once, one of the best meals I've ever had)

Have any of the CNY people tried out Tin Rooster at Turning Stone yet? I am definitely not a BBQ snob as some have self-proclaimed in this thread however I have gone there several times now and have found it to be surprisingly pretty good considering it is a casino restaurant.

I have been in the Syracuse area for about 10 years and love Dinosaur too but I at least agree with some of the comments about the prices. I thought what they were trying to get for Pizza Logs and LaNova last year at the stadium was a little insane so I can see them trying to get 15$ for a slider sized pulled pork easy. They sell Dinosaur sauces at Wegmans so anyone not familiar with Dinosaur food might be better off with a bunch of pulled pork in a crock pot with some Dino Wango Tango sauce out in the parking lot versus buying it in the stadium.

Here is an easy one we have pulled off a handful of times. Order a bucket of dry wings, (no sauce), the night before then day of the game load them up with a BBQ sauce of your choice and toss them on the grill until the sauce blackens up. Doesn't require much prep time, if any at all, and it has always made a lot of people happy at our tailgates.

I think for me it was more that he didn't add anything significant to the story that we already knew. I guess I gave him too much credit because I kept expecting some kind of twist on the Vadar story that as an audience we wouldn't have seen coming. Basically just ended up being an over produced cookie cutter version of what we already knew which could have easily fit into one film.

You should walk the stadium lots instead for exercise. Side benefits include: 1) You could collect cans for returns which would be a good supplement to your retirement benefits from the postal service. 2) There is a very good chance the friendly Bills tailgaters will offer you free food and everyone knows there is nothing a retiree likes more than a free meal. 3) You would get to relive your old postal delivery days by socializing with groups as you stop to collect their empties. It's nothing but a big win for you, just like the big W W 2 from your youth.

I think what he meant was how many HOME games will Kraft and Jones ultimately have to give up? So far it is zero and it definitely will be curious to see how this plays out going forward as it is hard to imagine Jerry being cool losing a capacity Jerryworld one season to London. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_International_Series#Game_history

Nice prose describing the initial take in of the tailgating scene. For a moment I could actually smell the charcoal and lighter fluid.

I'll do one musician, Randy Bachman, and one actor John Candy (closely followed by Dan Aykroyd).

I have to assume those votes arrived here from 2005 somehow.

That's true for sure but I was more referring to the people who said no one would buy tickets if they know they can watch them at home regardless so therefore the games would be tougher to sell out. If the blackout rule was still in effect this would be the first year in a long time where before the season even started it looked like we wouldn't have to worry about broadcasts. Ha, I can definitely buy that as a possibility.

So much for the crowd predicting half empty stadiums for the Bills this season with the blackout rule lifted.

I would bet they go in the direction of Punisher being a ruthless killer for sure based on the way this season's story played out. It would be a good continuation of Daredevil's internal struggle with killing the bad guys when he is faced with a new guy on his turf killing bad guys left and right without a care. It would help Daredevil's own struggle to see the results of someone else who went way down the path he almost found himself on when he was considering killing Kingpin.

My thoughts exactly. Works out well that Kingpin is one of the Punisher's main rivals too. Vincent D'Onofrio did such a great job with the character that it would be a good way to get him even more screen time.

I'm not sure the Bills have ever experienced anything like this to predict for sure. I can't think of a time when there was this much excitement about an upcoming season in today's "StubHub/Internet Ticket Resale" era. If I had to guess based on other resale seasons the only way it really will dip down significantly is if the Bills start out 0-3. Then maybe the Giants game would come down to earth a little. As for the opener I'm not even sure a horrible display in preseason would affect it much. People are just too hyped about the Bills this year.

Caught this yesterday as well. Hopefully it goes over well enough so that they decide to spin it off into his own series.

I meant best thing they've done with their own studio/production company. X-men is technically Fox.

I was going to post the same thing. His last line about this clause is backwards as it is obviously in there for the player and really has nothing to do about faith in the player from the team's perspective. I'm not arguing about Tyrod's potential to be a starter or not but this article didn't seem well thought out at all.

315, row 17. 328 and 339 also came up as options to buy but 315 seemed the best of the 3.

I was able to get 6 extra for the Giants game and 2 extra for the Pats**. At 9:20 it didn't seem like there was anything left for the opener other than singles, at least not in the lower price range I was checking.

Finally finished this over the weekend. I agree with an earlier poster that for me this is the best thing Marvel has done to-date. I saw someone else mention that Marvel reacquired the rights to the Punisher. I really hope they can give that character a show along the lines of this one as the style and level of grittiness/violence would be the perfect treatment for that material as well.

Sounds like consensus is try for a Bills fan and if no luck go to open market and hope for one. There are some good points here that I will use to try and alleviate any possible guilt over publicly selling my tickets the next time I need to. I should have considered how the convenience of auctioning sites also benefits traveling Bills fans as an upside to them also possibly polluting Bills home games. I was in Tampa two season ago and the lots we tailgated in felt like they were 90% Bills fans. Even the walk into the stadium felt more like I was going through home lots than being a visitor. Bills fans definitely represented that day, too bad the team didn't reciprocate.

I have season tickets in the lower bowl, 110, and almost every game there are fans of the opposing team next to or in front of me. I've asked them where they bought their tickets and it is always stubhub or NFL ticket exchange so it appears as if someone near my seats is frequently unloading their tickets to whomever is willing to buy them. I know this is a very common theme across the stadium and I am not looking to start an attack on season ticket holders who do this as I understand it might be a necessary evil to offset cost and in my case these opposing fans have never been anything other than cool and courteous. I am however curious to see where season ticket holders who need to unload unused games fall on this idea as far as if they would definitely not do it, try not to do it, or couldn't care less who buys their tickets. It is probably stupid of me but up to this point I have struggled with the idea of putting unused tickets up for auction as I don't want to add to a cheering section for the opponent. I have even gone so far as to just give tickets away to friends, family or friends of friends/family just so I knew Bills fans would be in the seats even though I probably could have recovered my cost if not made a profit. So what are the typical thoughts and activity for the rest of you out there?

Unfortunately while most would agree with you about the quality of food in WNY there is zero correlation between that and food at Ralph Wilson Stadium. It pains me to say this being from the WNY area but I have been to many sports venues all over the country and the food at RWS is the worst. They tried to make it a little better this past year by adding some local staples onto the menu which I guess helped a little bit but overall I'd say it is still pretty low quality which imo makes it even more absurdly overpriced. Not sure if this relates to how much people consume at tailgates or not but I know for me after going to Bills games as an adult for 25+ years I have probably bought concessions there less than 1% of the time and have been disappointed with that decision 100% of the time.

I remember watching a news program profiling a few of the guys working the NYC panhandling scene sometime back in the 90s and one of the guys they covered was making around 50k a year doing it and he actually owned a home. No to belittle those out there who truly need help but from that moment on I couldn't see myself ever handing out money to beggars without being able to truly know where their motivations came from.
