  1. I hadn't been to Duff's in a long time and went recently.  The wings had so much sauce on them it was like a bowl of chicken wing soup.  I would rather get them from LaNova, Bocce, Nino's or other pizza places.

    Exactly. Duffs is over-rated. Any one can just kill their wings with sauce

  2. Does this team seriously want to win? The maximum cap is $39 million and the Sabres want to operate at around $28 million from what I've read. I think it can be said if the Sabres put a winning product on the ice the people will show up....Just like the Bills.

    My understanding is with Satan gone and others, the current payroll is about $23 million. They are near the NHL minimum right now. Way to compete!!!!!

     

    I'm also leery about the young guys and talking about their "potential". Remember this is a club that hasn't seen the playoffs since, is it '99?

  3. Sabres are still on the same gameplan from 4 years ago. Be cheap, do not make any trades or sign any free agents.

     

    Same old crap from the Sabres. Very, very disappointing so far.

    Exactly my feelings. Sitting on your hands isn't going to win the fans back and fill seats. Probably sign a couple cheap no-names just so they can say they did something. If they don't make an effort to win now with this new CBA, that's a big disappointment.

  4. My opinion, losing Satan SUCKS!!! This guy is the only real scoring talent on the team. New rules to open up the game, shoot-outs, and you let this guy walk? OK, he is soft. So what? Muckers and grinders are a dime a dozen, but scorers are hard to get. I don't buy the salary thing either. The Sabre payroll is down maybe $12 million this year, they drop tickets a paltry couple bucks, let their best player go, and stand to make $$$ big time this year. I have no problem staying home this year at all

  5. TV Commercials:  Have you noticed on TV commercials most of the time the butt of the joke and the classic idiot is white WASP male?  Everyone on TV is smarter than him.  The wife, girlfriend, kids, dog, neighbors all know better.  Now we have the phrase ... it's so simple even Dad can do it.  What happened?

    Geez, you got that right. Guess it's not cool to be a white male

  6. Damn, we wouldnt want the fans to stand and be excited would we?? Do you know where the section where the fans sit on their hands the whole game is??

    I'll stand and cheer and yell too, but I don't want to stand for the entire 3+ hours

  7. As 2 previous posters said, the Naval Park is good, so is the Bird Island breakwall. Go to the other side of the island by crossing the Int'l RR bridge. Also the Miss Buffalo.

     

    I think better than most of the above though, except N Falls, is Holland Speedway. Don't knock it until you've gone there. Very family oriented, some amusement rides, special pricing for families, good food, and good entertainment. Go to the pits afterwards and meet drivers and get some freebies. Anything from real give-aways, to something a kid will really treasure. WRECKED CAR PARTS. When my kids were smaller, they brought home things from tires and driveshafts, to even a front clip

     

    Holland

  8. Did you have to sign for yours?  I got a notice in my mailbox yesterday saying that there is a large envelope/magazine/catalog at the post office that I must sign for.

     

    I can only assume that it is my tickets...

     

    Does this make sense?

    It's a security thing. If you're not there and they leave the tickets, someone could steal and use or sell them easily

  9. I used to coach my son's t-ball team and we didn't even keep score.  What is wrong with people?

    Did you stay past T-ball? Then you will see how competitive it really gets. I could tell you a lot of stories of the 5 years I put into it. The worst was scams at draft time, robbing other rosters, ringers showing up, coaches intimidating umps and players, forcing poor players to quit, telling poor players not to show up at key games, not playing all players, batting order shenanigans...................only limited by your imagination. I remember most of this happening once kids got into fast pitch. I'll tell you, when I tried to be a "good" coach, we got pounded. After tiring of that, the next year I got a little smarter, and put together a winning record. Then I gave it up. Wasn't worth it.

  10. Of our 3 cars, the one I like the most is by far the oldest, 94 Voyager. Cheap to drive, reliable, utilitarian, who cares where you park it, and best of all my kids bought it an aftermarket ground pounding stereo system. IT ROCKS!!!
