Metal Man

Definitely wait a bit into the season to see how the Sabres are playing first as someone mentioned above. I went to the game on Thanksgiving eve last season and ended up getting two 75$ tickets for only 50$ total on stubhub a couple of weeks before.

I doubt the Ram's felt like it was cheap when they were winning the Super Bowl with a grocery stock boy.

Not as of this season. Look at the map again. It is for fox.

For all the viewers in the Syracuse area... notice anything odd about this week? In the ten years I have been out in this area any time that the Bills were on fox and played in the same time slot as the Giants it would be the Giants game who won out and got the broadcast. I'm curious as to what might have changed this trend. Only thing I can think is a new agreement with Fox in Syracuse based on the way the networks flex games between each other regardless of conference this season.

For all the Syracuse area Time Warner customers who saw this issue week 1 and week 2 was it fixed for the Chargers game? I was at the game Sunday and am wondering if I am looking at watching the bills in standard def again this week.

Definitely not. Checked CBS on all three TVs with the same result and CBS was the only channel where HD wasn't working. Plus once the Jets game started at 4:25 the HD was working without touching anything not to mention the multiple complaints on TW's help twitter feed from people in the Syracuse issue having the same problem. Making absolute statements like that when you don't have all the facts is kind of amateur hour when problem solving.

I live in a suburb or Syracuse and I had the same issue yesterday and last Sunday. I have a second TV going for the other game usually and having to see the difference between the giants on fox and the bills on cbs was torture. I got onto TW's help twitter account and found some other people in the Syracuse area with the same issue so somehow TW is messing up the CBS feed when they pipe it out to their customers because everyone else I know around here using Fios or Dish had no issues.

Anyone watching on time warner in Syracuse? CBS seems to be having issues with their hd feed again.

I think it's safe to say everyone has personal experience with service industry, whether it be personal or family/close friends so we have all heard personal accounts of crappy tippers. Debating the idea of tipping automatically aside it can't be argued that it is a part of being a civil human being in our society and seeing the workers do depend on it not tipping or tipping some garbage amount is a super jerk move and if you don't think so then you shouldn't go out to eat or go to bars. Was it a douche move to make it viral, probably, but the bigger douche move was McCoy's tip. Whether the service was bad or not he should have at least left 15% and if was terrible enough to warrant 20 cents then don't go there any more. There is no excuse for stiffing on a tip other than just being a failure as a civil and respectful member of our society.

Wow. Everyone who thinks Sully is negative and hateful towards the Bills should read this guy. From this perspective the Bears just lost to the worst team in the league and are looking at a 1-15 year now.

I was able to log into the NFL mobile app season ticket membership area with my account info as well though there isn't any content to view yet obviously. I was a little disappointed to see the tablet version of NFL Mobile didn't seem to have a season ticket benefit option like the app on my phone. It would have been a lot nicer to be able to have RedZone running on the iPad during the game versus my phone.

Have any season ticket holders tried any of the "Membership Club" benefits described here: http://www.nfl.com/qs/themembershipclub/index.jsp I'm mostly interested in the subscription to NFL Redzone on mobile devices. I haven't downloaded the app yet but plan to give it a go tonight and I was looking for any kind of heads up info someone might have who has already tried to go through the process of getting signed up using their season ticket account info.

Sad news. For me he was definitely one of the blues guitarist greats There definitely was one in the old concert area. One hell of a show from what I heard from my father. I unfortunately missed that one even though I grew up right down the street.

She said 12th man during that report. Someone better forward this video to A&M so they can get their lawyers cranking.

Moses and Ramses grew up together?

I know it's old but if you have never read The Stand by Stephen King it is one of my favorites, make sure it is the uncut version. Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) as mentioned earlier is probably the pinnacle of fantasy right now but if you've done that Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind is also very good.

We should go 0-16 11 years in a row, then we can have a first overall pick at every single offensive position and the 33rd overall pick at every defensive position.

I don't think I saw The Adventures Ford Fairlane mentioned. I loved that movie, but to be fair I'm not sure that I've seen it in 20 years and my perspective on a lot of films doesn't age all that well.

I think it helped on this one a lot with my expectations. I didn't see it until it was out and video and had already heard nothing but terrible things about it. With those thoughts going in I came away pleasantly surprised and will still stay tuned today if I come across it while flipping around. Another example of the low expectations was Batman and Robin. Don't get me wrong I still think the movie is bad, and no question the worst Batman movie ever made, but after watching it on video for the first time I didn't loathe it as much as I expected to. Plus I always kind of had a thing for Alicia Silverstone so that helps I'm sure.

I enjoyed and still enjoy Armageddon though I'm pretty sure most people think it is crap.

My family has had season tickets for almost 50 years. My earliest child hood memories from going to Bills games come from about 10 years old or so and I distinctly remember that watching a few fights with my binoculars each trip was always part of the tradition. With that said it's probably safe to see drunken idiocy has always had a strong presence at the games. I was too young to really remember the severity of the drunkenness going on around me back then so I couldn't say for sure if people were passing out, puking, or pissing themselves with the same frequency. I'd like to think that this aspect has gotten significantly worse just because kids these days can't hold their booze like us old timers could back in the day, or still can, but there had to have been sloppy drunks around since booze was invented. Can't speak to the security because I haven't noticed a difference there personally but seems pretty standard that authority breeds a-holes. Like someone else said before it is probably just a lot more in the limelight these days with everyone carrying cameras, video recorders, and blogging about everything real-time.

I'm really curious about this. I went to the new Giants stadium a few years ago for the Bills game and was really impressed with all the stuff they have going on outside of the stadium once you actually pass through the ticket gates. There were bands playing and all sorts of fan activities. Something along those lines would definitely pull me in a little earlier than usual and if I could buy a beer I likely would. I don't think I've ever looked forward to a preseason game like I am for the 23rd just to be able to get the first look at all of this stuff.

Ha, not sure how I missed that. Guess my enthusiasm for getting beer very early before a game hasn't been what it was in a long time. Strange that they would change the law for buying beer in the stores but not buying beer from a stadium or bar?

It seems like I would forget about this stupid law every September in my early twenties. I would get out to the grocery store in the morning to gear up on munchies and beer all excited for opening day of football to start only to be crushed when the checkout girl would remind me that she couldn't sell me beer for a couple more hours. Definitely antiquated and ridiculous as a law can be. As for the Bills if they have as much going on outside in the new concourse area as they have been advertising it makes good sense to be able to sell beer a little earlier in there too. I don't see anything wrong with them trying to draw people inside a little earlier than usual.

Kick-off returns? I didn't even realize the NFL still had those.
