Frank Gore fighting in heavyweight bout 12/18
Steve O replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
Actually 5 time Wimbledon runner-up. He did win 4 Wimbledon titles though, 3 singles and 1 doubles, to go along with Olympic golds in singles and doubles (1908.) -
Frank Gore fighting in heavyweight bout 12/18
Steve O replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
fixed now. Greg Williams was referring to Frank when he said "kill the head and the body will die." Sadly you may be right. Lyle Alzado tried to return in his 40's because he missed the violence (interestingly he once fought Muhammed Ali.) -
Time to adjust expectations was after week 1 loss to Pitt. Only thing to adjust now is your clock if you haven't already done so.

Can't believe I found this...hilarious (or at least good for a laugh)

Should NFL refs start being suspended for idiotic calls?
Steve O replied to Beast's topic in The Stadium Wall
What I can't tell from the video is how hard the push was. The defender pushed Murray on his third step following the pass. Definitely late and knocked Murray off balance, Murray being an exceptional athlete never lost his footing. As you say, had he flopped it would get called. Looking at the roughing the passer call last week on Frank Clark that so outrage our buddy Chris, it was actually textbook roughing the passer. Though the hit wasn't late Clark never held back but rather drove his shoulder in to Josh's. To the OP's point, refs are graded and one got fired the next day a few years ago because he missed this false start: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0zw17LGyJB0 -

200K/yr, not game (actually 205 K per year, read it on the world wide web so it has to be true) -

Where would Rousseau have gone had he played? [in college in 2020]
Steve O replied to whorlnut's topic in The Stadium Wall
His teammate Jason Phillips was the first DE to go at 18, to the Dolphins. If Rousseau outplayed Phillips in 2020 18 would be the floor. 2 other DE's were taken before our pick, Paye and Turner. -
Collinsworth was almost impossible to listen to.
Steve O replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall
Thought the roughing was a make up call for the holding. Ball ended up a little short of where the JA scramble would have, but almost a wash. Agree with everything else in your post as well. Sadly, this was the most objective he's ever been about the Bills. Not sure why he hates us so much. Not sure if a citation is needed for this, but from this guy's facebook page https://www.facebook.com/WorstCommentatorEver/photos/a.3159528527421513/3468974199810276/ : Top 5 reasons the XFL is better than the NFL: 1. No Chris Collinsworth 2. No Chris Collinsworth 3. No Chris Collinsworth 4. No Chris Collinsworth 5. No Chris Collinsworth -
What NFL player do you associate with a college?
Steve O replied to Miyagi-Do Karate's topic in Off the Wall
1) UCLA - Troy Aikman 2) Miami - Willis McGahee 3) Notre Dame - Mike Golic Sr. (must be from all those years of listening to Mike and Mike) 4) Ole Miss - Archie Manning 5) USC - O. J. Simpson -
Tyrod Taylor named Texans starting QB vs. Jags Week 1
Steve O replied to Freddie's Dead's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You left off Todd Collins (the original heir apparent to Jim Kelly) who carried a clipboard for 15 of his 16 seasons, 4 of which he never saw the field. (apologies if this has been mentioned, didn't wade through 6 pages to check) -

Best I've ever had, but I'm from Rochester and never been to the Eagle House Actually closer to 200 according to their world wide website, established 1827. Will give them a try

Not sure what the housing market is like in Buffalo but if the house was in Irondequoit (outside Rochester) you would have above asking price offers before you finished putting the For Sale sign in the ground!

The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum by Robert Ludlum - really enjoyed the first and third, could have done without The Bourne Supremacy...haven't read the more recent Bourne series. The Bobby Lee Swagger trilogy by Stephen Hunter - Point of Impact (movie is Shooter,) Black Light, and Time to Hunt. Hunter later wrote a prequel based on Swagger's father Earl, Hot Springs, which is excellent assuming you like the first three. Also has several stand alone books, my favorite of which is Dirty White Boys.

My old class goes a bit overboard with reunions. We have one mediocre reunion every year with 50ish attending, usually in Durand Park. This year's is next weekend. A few more attending this year as our big five year bash, the 45th, was canceled last year because of Covid. We also have 3-4 smaller get togethers at a local bar every year, usually around 30ish attend. usually around 250-300 for the big 5 year bash. Always make the annual Durand mini, and usually 1-2 of the smaller ones. Seems most of my old GF's have not aged well. The girls I didn't pay much attention to....let's just say Karma's a beach.

Would be interesting to see where they would have ended up after the Ryan/Whaley years. Probably near the bottom, saying they gave Ryan & Whaley way too much freedom to run things, the same reasons they are given high grades now.

List of Bills QBs during the Desolation
Steve O replied to foreboding's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not exactly mop up duty, Collins was injured in the first quarter and Hobert played the rest of the game clueless. Admitted to not studying the playbook on Monday,. released on Wednesday Not really a joke, Brady had the most wins in Buffalo between 2001 and 2019 -
