  1. I wonder what the reasoning is. Maybe his injury is more severe than we know, maybe he has other nagging injuries and doesn't want to have continuing health issues or maybe he does have other options.

    Too bad, this is a blow to the o line.

    so much for the "rehabs going well" reports.

     

    this all but GAURANTEES we take an olineman in Rd1, and probably another in 4 or 5 too

  2. I'm tired of the snide comments being made about me when people have little to no facts to base them on. I've been letting them go and ignoring them but I have to admit they are really starting to annoy me.

     

    I hate to say this due to what Steerball went through recently and my problems aren't that severe but they will explain some things. This is what I'm dealing with right now.

     

    Since I was a child I've had a seizure disorder that actually required skull surgery for me when I was 8 years old. It disappeared for a long time and resurfaced about 7 years ago. Medications are doing a pretty good job of controlling it, but I had a severe reaction about 3 months ago that required hospitalization due to my dosage needing to be reevaluated. I have cancer that has been in remission for six years (knock wood), I have a thyroid problem that is also being controlled by medications, they found benign polyps in my colon last year and feel they need to monitor me closely, a year ago I had a stroke, a month ago it was determined I am diabetic and last week I found out that I have hepatitis C and the numbers coming in concern my doctor. I've spent about a month in total over the last year in and out of the hospital for these various things. These problems have become more acute since I was fired and have put me into a deep depression that I'm trying to work through.

     

    BTW, just to clear things up for some of you Jackasses, I was accused of choking a co-worker. I didn't actually do it. I'm sure most of you know that and even the people who feel the need to try and hurt me with snide comments know that.

     

    Where am I getting my money to live? Not government but my family. Just like the trust fund babies that so many here defend as being entitled to that money without the need to not work for it. The only government program I use is medicaid but I've been paying into the system for 20 years and at times I've had three jobs so I feel like it's deserved at this point.

     

    So keep making the snide comments because at this point I really won't care because I'm letting you know what is going on in my life. If you feel the need to keep making them more power to ya.

     

    I've learned a lot about the character of many people here through this. The good and the bad.

     

    'Nuff said.

    Are you the Great Cornholio by any chance?

  3. They should already have an interest in the Niagara Falls, St. Catharines areas already. Two games have been placed in Toronto and I believe we've seen how well-received that was. <_<

     

    Besides, I continually read how the Canadian fans like coming down to OP to tailgate and watch the game. I haven't read them ranting about the location of the current stadium.

    Chalkie, as someone else said, you're just silly now. It's pretty much a waste responding, but I'll give it a few more whacks.

    NFL in dt nf would mean 80,000+ more people at least 8x a year. Many of whom would take the opportunity to visit the CDN side. Out of town fans would often stay at CDN hotels, which means supporting restaurants, shopping and dining there. A Super Bowl would generate the much needed and deserved International attention. The multiplier effect would be felt throughout the year as, for example, some visitors would make it a point to come back during the summer and enjoy the new golf courses too.

  4. It's 20 miles from downtown Buffalo to the Falls. And despite Chalkie's insistence that it's inaccessible from Buffalo there are several roads in. It would cut travel time for Toronto fans by at least 30 minutes. Plus locating it in Niagara Falls puts the stadium into an established tourist area. True, the US side blows compared to the CAN side but a new domed stadium (it HAS to be a dome IMO) can do a lot to renovate the USA side.

    PTR

    theres a lot more to do in the downtown NF area as is than there is in Orchard Park, which essentially is only the stadium
