Does this kind of thing happen often on airplanes? I don't fly, but may have to reconsider...

Hope he gets the Giants gig...rather have him in the NFC. -
Will There Ever Be Another Punter Like Ray Guy?
Steve O replied to ChasBB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Steve Little was also drafted in the first round to be both punter and place kicker, however he didn't do very well at either as a pro. He and Erxleben co-hold the NCAA record long field goal at 67 yards. Erxleben was released from prison in July and is available now. Little is dead. -
Interesting or Funny ways you got out of a ticket
Steve O replied to Another Fan's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I've gotten out of two tickets when I was totally in the wrong First time: 20 years ago, playing volleyball in a bad section of town (Flint street in Rochester,) mid-February. Missed a light by a few seconds, long light. Stopped and looked around, nothing around but some headlights on in a parked car. Knew from experience it was a long light so decided to run it. Sure enough the headlights were a cop. Pulled me over. Rolled the window down and put my hands and arms out of the window. Cop: you know you just ran a red light. Me: yes officer. Cop: Why did you run the light. Me: It's a 3 minute light red light officer, didn't see anyone around. Cop: Don't you have 3 minutes? Me: Not in this section of town officer. Cop: What are you doing in this section of t own? Me: I play volleyball down the street officer. (shorts and knee pads still on, cop realized I wasn't there for a drug buy.) Cop: Well Steve, stopping at red lights is a law. You can't just come in to this section of town and decide you aren't going to obey the law. You should probably find a different section of town to play volleyball in. Me: I think that's a very good idea officer. Cop: Go on, get out of here. Me: Thank you officer, have a nice evening. Finished out the season but never went back after that. Second time, going 75 in a 55 on my way to work Monday morning. Cop pulled me over. Once again, rolled down the window, put my hands and arms out of it. Cop took license and registration, called back to the station, came back, let me go with a lecture and a warning. Last thing he said was "Slow down, 75's too damn fast!" Now I go 4-5 miles over the speed limit and hit the cruise control. Took a year for my heart to stop palpating every time I saw a cop. Moral of the story is let the cop know he isn't in danger and be respectful. Probably doesn't hurt to be middle aged (in my 40's both times.) If the cop is giving you a lecture, listen and agree, you're probably no going to get both a lecture and a ticket. -
In 47 Ratterman's 22 TD passes set the rookie record for touchdown passes by a professional that stood until Peyton Manning broke it in 98.

Will 2019 Steelers Suffer Same Fate as 2004 Bills?!
Steve O replied to ChasBB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I remember listening to the end of the Jets/Rams game in the Hammer lot and saying that we could be so psyched right now as the Rams kicked the winning field goal in overtime. Oh well... -
Best to plan on staying a couple hours after the game unless you want to wait in traffic. Then again this game is a bit of an outlier, meaningless for the Bills, things might start clearing out earlier than normal. Plus I head east, if you're heading west things might be smoother if you head west when you get to Big Tree/20A. I usually leave from across the street around 6:00 or 6:30, there will still be a few cars at Hammer's.

NFL Network only this Sat if you live outside of Buffalo
Steve O replied to Sundancer's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What really stinks is that Rochester and Syracuse were considered "local" markets for blackouts back when they blacked out games if they weren't sold out, but were not considered local markets for carrying games. Believe the blackout radius was 90 miles, the radius for carrying games was 60 miles. Sling TV is $15 a month, but they’re offering 40% off the first month. That means it will cost you $9 and you can cancel after that. You’ll need to choose the blue package.was -
Couldn't find any footage of the incident, just the aftermath. Not really much to see but here it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un2Fz5gFigw Caddie is Reed's brother-in-law, apparently shoved a fan who told Reed he effin sucks, resulting in a spilled beer.

I beg to differ. My theory is that warranty companies, regardless of what they are for, are in business to make money. Therefore, they are going to take in more money than they give out. There may be a few times a warranty proves to be a wise investment, but, over the course of a lifetime, you'll be better off financially if you never purchase one.

Phillips embarasses Brandon Beane

Treadmill is $4000, plus the $39 a month. Presumably any running shoes will do. They advertise the monthly subscription as just a little more than one boutique fitness class costs. Not sure what makes a fitness class "boutique," but my gym membership is $20 a month which includes classes like yoga, zumba, etc. But if you have the money, spend it on whatever you want. And if your wife looks like the woman in the commercial, might be worth the cost to keep her away from guys like me in the gym.

Jimmy V Classic (‘93 ESPY Speech ?)
Steve O replied to Johnny Hammersticks's topic in Off the Wall Archives
A few of his classic quotes "I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can’t trust em." "The difference between Namath and me is that when you make the money he makes, they say you’re ruggedly handsome. When you make the money I make, they say you have a big nose." "We have a very intelligent team. I’ve had clubs that when you tell a guy to go back door, he leaves the gym. Or you tell the team you’re going to have a closed practice and eight guys don’t show up." And the most inspirational: "There are 86,400 seconds in a day. It’s up to you to decide what to do with them." -
5 reasons why Buffalo Bills will beat Baltimore Ravens

I would replace reason#5 with your 12th man reason. If it comes down to a battle of the kickers we're in trouble, Tucker is one of the best. -

5 pages but I found no need to read past the third post, which sums it up quite nicely. -

Who would be our Steve Bartman or Bill Buckner
Steve O replied to bighorn_zilla's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That field was indeed horrible, same field Marino blew out his Achilles on. I was wrong about the missed field goal but right about the missed PAT. Had he made it we could have kicked a field goal after Harmon's drop and won the game in overtime, and that drop would have been a footnote rather than the thing he's remembered for. -

Steve O replied to bighorn_zilla's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What people forget is that the touchdown before the drop Norwood missed the extra point, or we could have tied the game with a field goal in spite of the drop. Think he missed a field goal or two that day as well, in a Dr office now, no time to check. Edit: Norwood didn't miss any field goals that game, 1/1. Still, as pointed out on pg 3, if he had made the extra point a field goal would have sent the game in to overtime. Had we gone on to win, Harmon's drop would have been forgotten long ago rather than be his legacy moment.
