Bullpen

I agree. (sorry Millbank) The only thing I enjoy more than thumping the leafs is beating "The Savior Sydney" and the rest of the Penguins.

So sorry Simon... may you and his family find strength at this difficult time.

Buying jerseys of current players, they leave, get cut or retire soon after purchase. I'm the angel of death for Bills players. Paup, Moulds, Bledsoe and Spikes. Other than that, I AM too perfect to make any more mistakes.

In Colorado Springs and Denver they had lines wrapping around the building at almost every location. (I mean c'mon it's Denny's for chissakes, it's not the Broadmoor!)

I agree 100% with you on that one. Admittedly I'm probably a little bias as his parents and my parents were friends when I was a young kid. I think he was a beneficiary of the system to some extent as well. I mean with Talley, Smith, Bennett, et al, you kind of had to pick your poison back then and decide who was going to get the double teams. It kind of pisses me off that over the years when they (NFL talking heads and so-called experts) talk about all time great defenses, they rarely mention the Bills unit if 90-91.

Thanks for the info! For the life of me, I can't remember where I heard that story about Jimmytown. Considering a majority of Jamestown's heritage is Italian and Swedish, and the weck roll is a German thing, it would stand to reason that Beef on Wecks weren't invented down in the southern reaches of WNY. Edit: There's a place in Olean called the Beef and Barrel I think that had pretty decent Beef on Wecks

A friend of mine worked two or three layers deep in the department that handles the ribbon boards and score boards at the Pepsi Center in Denver and he got a "replica" Stanley Cup ring with his name on it. Looks virtually the same to the naked eye, but obviously the jewels and gems aren't real. My guess would be yes PS players do get rings. They were/are instrumental in the success the team has each week replicating the opponents plays and formations.

Not trying to stir any turds around here, but slightly OT: I remember back when I still lived in WNY, there was a urban myth that purported that Beef on Weck was actually first made in Jimmytown? Note, I'm not saying it's true, I'm just wondering if anyone really knows the origin of this sandwich and if in fact it does have any connection to the southern tier?

You can get it in Colorado as well, though I normally go with Labatt Blue when I'm feeling especially Canuck-ey.

I can't help you at all with that answer, as I know I'm going to be in the same situation in the next year or two with Thurman. All I can say, it I pray you'll have the strength to make the right decision and I'm sorry you have to make it at all.

I'm not making light of your point dib, I think I know what you were trying to convey, those first three sentences just struck me as funny in a truly sarcastic way. Poetic justice would be for Sage to be blessed with nothing but daughters when he's older.

Happy belated to each and every one of you woodchucks, groundhogs!

My six degrees of separation: Is he related to Section VI chairman Chuck Funke? I met him at a baseball banquet once. Seemed like a nice guy as well.

Buftex, if that isn't your avatar by the end of the day, I may have to jack that image and use it myself. That is quite possibly the goofiest looking thing I've seen this side of Rob Johnson's "do-rag."

So Pooj, what the hell did you do?

Maybe "toast" the slices in the oven, cut into small cracker-like pieces and then serve with cheese and summer sausage? Good luck Pooj!

Holy fuggin shat!!! Did you just see that?!?!?!

Holy crap! I totally remember that part of the video! That was a classic! I remember the Bills coming to our school in 82 or 83 to play our faculty and getting Jeff Nixon's autograph. He instantly became my favorite player and 38 became the number I always tried to get when I played sports.

I just watched Goodfellas on regular TV yesterday... horrible!!! My favorite is from the Spike Lee movie "Do the Right Thing:" "You better get some mickey-fickey brothers on the wall, in this mickey-fickey joint!" Mickey-fickey...

Thank you all! It was very nice of Mr. Goodell to schedule a super groovy football game on this day! As far as the shack in Colorado goes... as Jimmy Buffett said, "I'm just glad I don't live in trailer" HGDFBD Senator, Baboo and IDK! Edit: Scored two Bills books for my birthday. "Then Levy Said to Kelly" and "The Bills are Due"

The dude's girlfriend kinda creeped me out. Steely's subtext on these threads always cracks me up for some reason. Like anyone would say "Aaaaaaaaiiiiiiieeeee" when they see something supernatural.

Spit coca-cola all over my monitor... thanks Hazed!!!

They've got bocce on the Wii!?!? Is it on a separate game all its own or is it a part of a group of games on one disk?

Yes, yes she would still get "the treatment" from me.

I've been making those for almost a year now. A couple suggestions if you really are going to try this: Try some chopped up precooked chicken instead of bacon. Add some jalapenos, mushrooms, onions or something like that. Spread a base of cream cheese of shredded cheese to the breakfast sausage before adding any other ingredients. If you have the means, cook it in a charcoal smoker grill instead of baking, you'll really appreciate the smoked flavor. Like I said, I've made different variations of these "fatties" or "meat bombs" and no matter what ingredients you use, you really can't go wrong. Try a breakfast variation at some point, sausage, eggs, peppers, cheese and bacon.
