http://www.leftbankrestaurant.com/ Not a lot of people seem to know about it, but the place is very good.

Gus Johnson is pretty good. I just wish he wasn't paired up with Tasker. I really want to like him but just isn't that good. Definitely have to give a nod to Van Miller. His calls made some of the greatest Bills moments in history to date all that much better.

I suppose I can accept that logic. Something subtle like a hat or t-shirt makes a little more sense than being totally decked out for a team that isn't even playing, and a jersey does kind of fall into the "decked out" category. Now crossing sports... that is a completely different fashion foul.

I'm not sure I see why this is so terrible. Let's say you are visiting your friend in Charlotte and that he is a big Panthers fan. During your visit he drags you to a Panthers/49ers game of which neither team holds any interest for you at all but being an NFL fan you have no issue with going. By your rules are you saying it would be wrong to represent the Bills there anyway by throwing on a throwback Kelly? To me it seems that flying your colors at an NFL game would be a good thing whether the Bills were playing or not.

Agree with this ^ 100%. Isn't the entire point of watching your team each week to see them win? Worry about next year's draft position when the season is over.

Wizard and Glass was easily my favorite of the 7.

I'll assume you read the afterword despite King's warning of possibly leaving the story at that point. I can't imagine anyone actually doing that. In any case the end definitely left a lot up for interpretation and there were a lot of tales untold from Roland's past that might fill in a lot of the holes. Overall I was satisfied with the ending though. Without being too specific and spoiling anything I liked the whole circular idea of the quest with Roland learning something about himself and his humanity in each journey that could assist him on the subsequent quests.

I have read the series twice. I fear that hollywood will mess this up like they do with most things. That being said I will probably check it out and hope for the best or at least something better than the Sword of Truth tv show. That turned out terrible.

Is it just me or does anyone else think the local media should be trying to maybe drum up a little hype to help support the team instead of trying to convince people they shouldn't care?

Haven't noticed if anyone has posted this recently, so here it is. http://the506.com/sports/?p=458 Great tool to use during the season to see what games will be televised by Fox and CBS in all the different markets in the country. The guy who runs it makes improvements on the site every year and in the 5 years since I have been using it I have never found his info to be wrong.

I have been to a lot of openers too, but I don't think I have ever left the stadium happier than I was after that 31-0 beat down of the Pats*. Sure in retrospect it didn't mean much seeing they returned the favor on the last game of the year, but listening to a few sections sing the goodbye song to the large groups of Pats* fans as they exited early is one of my fondest stadium memories.

This ^^^^ seems like the best advice. Also I don't understand why people complain about all the things we didn't address in the offseason. It is going to take more than one draft for Buddy and Chan to build their team so lets see how the OL and QBs look this season and at least give them another offseason before declaring anything a mistake.

I don't even see how this is debatable. Maybe it isn't the norm for most, but I thought you watch the games to root for your team to win. Plus since when does drafting top 10 guarantee you a franchise QB?

Cox is hard to forget about so he is way up there on the hate list. Bruschi tops this list for me though. That comeback game against the Bills was such a joke. His stats at the end of that game were nothing special but somehow he was still touted in all of the national media like he was some kind of super hero that single handily destroyed Buffalo. I can't stomach him on ESPN either. As soon as he begins speaking I have to immediately change the channel.

They should be allowed to take the name MTV since they actually have music programming on all the time.

I would much rather be in the position of the Bills where everyone thinks they will be the worst in the league than someone like the Jets that everyone is expecting a deep playoff run from. The sports media guys are almost always wrong which means Buffalo will be better than a lot of people think where as the Jets are almost certainly being set up to disappoint people.

Thanks for sharing the info. That is perfect.

I thought the best part of Goodell's plan was that they wanted to push the Superbowl back to President's Day weekend. For a lot of us that would mean a built in day off to celebrate the Superbowl correctly.

Has anyone found anything about a taped replay of the game being broadcast in the Syracuse area? Yes, I know about the NFL network replays but I am talking Time Warner so that doesn't apply.

Here you go. Time passed since 20000108

If only we could get Jim Brinson back.

+1 The changed ending to Jedi is terrible. Adding something I could have lived with but completely changing ruined the whole thing for me, even if the ewok song was kind of corny.

Anyone get someone from Time Warner on the phone yet? I'm trying to get through.

Anyone in the Syracuse or Liverpool area not seeing the game on 5? I have Time Warner without a digital box, the co-ax is just plugged directly to my TV. The channel that scrolls whats on is showing Bills game on WTVH 5, just like all posts on here have been saying all day, but I am seeing Jeopardy right now?!
