  1. It that $$$ coming from ticket buyers? Assesement on season tix or an upcharge on counter purchases?  Or is it going to be stuck on others who don't attend games?

     

    Curious... :D

    Why shouldn't it be stuck on "OTHERS"? Let them kick in a little. My buying tickets lets them sit home and watch the game for free

  2. He's already a bazillionaire due to his personal businesses.  He doesn't need football anymore, and he's played a lot of games.  He doesn't seem heartbroken that he's out for the rest of the year, and at this point in his blessed life, why should he be?

     

    That being said, he's under contract, and nothing prohibits him from sticking around and 'coaching' the younger guys.  He said as much already in the article on BuffaloBills.com.

    Isn't he also big in the NFLPA?

  3. My dad told me about this freak. (We're from Olean) He said that they think the indians around Salamanca and such are hiding him....

    I believe that. Close down the Indian casinos until this guy is caught, and they would hand him over before I finish this post

  4. Very correctly put.  If there is one thing that Rosenhaus always makes sure of it's that his clients never hold out.  He's a fine man and more of us should model our lives after his.

     

    :P

  5. might be able to give it....

     

    Details....a couple of days ago I had just dropped my kids off for school and was on my way home to finish getting ready for work and head off to my job.

     

    Right as I was fixed to make a left hand turn onto my street (I was doing all the right things, had my turnsignal on, had my seatbelt on I hear the sound of screaching tires (from someone trying to break) and my Hyundai jolted violently like it had been hit with a grenade or something. 

     

    The next thing I know my car is about 30 feet down the street from where I was an and pushed in from behind like a tin can......I try to turn my head to see what hit me but can because my kneck is very stiff.....but my arms and legs work so I get out of my car (took some doing as none of my car doors wanted to open.....and I see that a young girl (very young....I can see she is already crying on the phone to her mom that she had hit somebody) the front of her car is a mess....my hundai looks smashed beyond repair....I ask her if she is alright and then go back and sit down in my car.....even as I am doing this my back is starting to really hurt and my neck is killing me....

     

    Call the wife...fire trucks, ambulance, police are all there quick....and they strap me down and send me to the hospital in an ambulance.....

     

    Emergency did not keep me....they did x rays but I had nothing broken.....they said that my pain was coming from neck and back trauma and that I needed to see my family doctor.

     

    OK now here is the wierd part...my wife calls my brother who says that it would be a good idea to talk to a lawyer immediatley.  Now.....I am nervous around lawyer types and I am definatley not a "ambulance chaser" or asked for anything from anyone that I didn't think I earned....but I took his advice and saw someone in town.

     

    It was a total disaster as far as I am concerned....the guy was a sniviling little prick who was making fun of how fast I came to see him and pretty much insulted me through the whole consultation.....

     

    "you aren't hurt"

    "you aren't going to get rich off of this"

    etc etc etc

     

    Now....at the moment I am having time barely walking and my neck and back are killing me.....I am going to have to under heavy medication and go to physical therapy for a while.....WTF is this guy doing telling me I am not hurt?  By that does he mean that my legs are not cut off or my face doesn't look like hamburger meat?

     

    And as for the second thing.....I NEVER WANTED TO GET RICH...I just wanted to know what my rights were and what I could expect to happen next with the insurance companies...was that too much to ask?

     

    Does anybody have any experience with this happening to them or work in the field.....I am not trying to take this families house our anything.....but the accident is going to screw up my life for the forseeable future.

    I had a similar accident in January 2003. I was driving with my son to his NYS DMV licensing road test of all things. We're stopped at an intersection, even though we had the green light, and other cars were stopped too, because a fire truck with lights and sirens was entering from a side street. I'm looking at the truck when a 16yr old kid with daddy's car skipping school plows into the back of me. My 94 Taurus was crushed up to the rear window by this kid's 1/2 ton puck-up. I had only 3-4 months earlier dropped collision on the car because of its age. Well the cops tell me it is 100% the other driver's fault. So I contact the other driver's insurance the next day to see what they were going to do about my car. For up to a week they tell me they have no record of their driver being in an accident and they don't believe me. So I fax them the police report, they contact the kid and his parents, and then tell me they will replace the car. They offered me $3500 for a car with a NADA retail of $3550. Not bad. But I counter-offered with a lot of reasoning $6000, and they accepted it. I was really happy over that. But looking back I wonder if they were anxious to get this behind them before I claimed injuries of some sort.

     

    Now neither my son or me were hurt. But I was concerned with the jarring my head took when it snapped back and hit the head-rest. Why? I had Lasik about a week earlier. Although I didn't notice any effects, I still went back to the surgeon immediately just to have it checked out. I was OK. Still, NYS no-fault covered that

     

    Although I'm sure you'll be OK on the property damage, I would be concerned about your pain now and some how try to protect myself. I too would consider the lawyer part. Lets face it, insurance's goal is to pay out as least as possible on every claim. They could care less about you

  6. Well, they thought he was Bucky because he a) avoided the checkpoint and ran from police, b) he had a red ATV, and a red ATV was reported stolen right around that time, and c) he had a helmet on so there was no way to identify who it was. 

     

    I'm not saying the police fabricated that story, but I highly doubt the trooper was dragged for a mile.  I've had four-wheelers my whole life, I don't see how it's remotely possible to hold onto an ATV going 40mph over uneven terrain.  And then the trooper pulled out his gun as he was being dragged and shot the guy?  I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I think there's a major part of that story missing.

    As a fellow ATV owner too, that story in no way is the truth. Of course if NYS took my ATV registration money and provided ATV trails, like they do for snowmobiles, this wouldn't happen either

  7. I don't know if it still stands, but someone had edited the signs going into Killbuck, by Salamanca so they read Killbucky.  My sentiments exactly.  Shoot first, don't bother to ask questions.

    I saw that street sign too. Off 219 just north of Salamanca by the rr tracks

  8. Yeah, that is good advice.  Each dealership usually has (at least) one guy who is a "master technician" type.  Find him.

    I went to a local Chrysler dealership with a really old mini-van for a potential transmission problem. I asked for their best tranny guy. Some old man with a beer gut, limp, and 3 years of grease and grime on him walks out. I thought to myself, "now this guy knows his ****!!!". :doh:

     

    Any way, the dealer wanted to replace the trans at a cost more than the vehicle was worth. This guy shows me a wire to pull to de-activate the lock-up feature of the torque converter and bypass the problem. No charge, my kind of price!!! 3 years later the van still runs great

  9. I'm more surprised that the warranty didn't transfer.  I know most auto makers don't care how many times it changes hands in the warranty window...

    Me too. Also, try a different dealer. Ask the specific experience and training of the actual guy that is going to be working on your car. Demand their best guy. My son works as a tech at a dealership. By far, not every one there is trained to the max. Some of them are at the level of the guy working at your corner oil change shop.

     

    Lastly, VW's are noted for poor quality. I know that doesn't help now :devil:

     

    Try this guy's advice. He is absolutely the best. I know through experience
