  1. No......the play calling is not geared towards passes to the tight end because of WHO our tight ends are.

     

    .02: If we get TG, who is going to block? If TG is in the game and he is going out, I am sending all-out blitzes at TE. OK, maybe he completes some of them but there is the chance that he takes a good hit (re: Arizona) and is lost. They are keeping Royal, et al, in on most occasions so that TE has enough time. Take the tight end away and its the Pamplona blitz. If TG has to block most of the time, why give up so much for him? They also want to get Lynch and Jackson involved in the passing game. Maybe keep Royal, etc. in to protect Edwards and send out Lynch and Jackson more often as receivers.

  2. According to Jay Glazer last night on Fox Radio, Buffalo is NOT one of the teams Gonzalez wants to be traded to. Gonzalez supposedly told Glazer, "are you kidding me, my wife would kill me [if we had to move to Buffalo]." Glazer also said the Giants were not interested in Gonzalez.

     

     

    If I have a couple of years left and I am not looking at a new contract, I'm not moving from KC to Buf. My bet is that TG ends up in/near a big market city.

  3. I saw Bruce with his family about a month ago at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg. Actually, my brother-in-law (a Jets fan) recognized him first. Bruce was wearing a Va Tech baseball cap. I went over and, when he was not busy, congratulated him on the upcoming game where he would be placed on the Wall at RWS. He was very cordial and low-key and thanked me. He said it was always nice to see Bills fans. He still looks like he could play.

  4. We were thinking of going, then I got a few beers and burgers in my belly, and didn't feel like getting on the bike and riding down there. How were they, and did you get there to see the motels??

     

    The Motels' set was short but they sounded good. The B-52s were fun as usual - Fred seems to enjoy himself when he's out there. I saw them earlier this year at the National and that was a good time, too.

  5. My wife, Monique, two sons, Christopher and William, and myself will be at the tailgate and going to the game. I expect two of my sisters who live locally to also meet us at the tailgate though they are not going to the game. I will send the coin now - how much and to whom should I send it for 6 people? Jack - I know you mentioned collecting it at the tailgate but it's always good to have the $ beforehand when making purchases.

  6. Cindy,

    Expect a PM from me shortly to send a check. I would like to pick them up at the Tailgate if that's OK.

     

    Thanks much for doing this again. Wear those shirts around here proudly and always get lots of recognition from displaced WNYs.

  7. they are in the midst of a 3 day swing through Utica, Rochester and Buffalo(actually they call it tonawanda)....I am going to see them on Wednesday nite....never seen them before but am pretty excited....gotta get my dead fix this summer...they sound amazing as a "tribute" band....

     

    Saw them when they opened the National with the Radiators earlier this year. It was a great show and I also saw them at Allgood last year and they were excellent that night as well. We won't be there next Wed. as we will be out of town. It should be a good show. Did you catch STS9 and Umphrey's McGee at Innsbrook a couple of weeks ago? It was a good jam. We met a couple of guys from Buffalo who were returning from Allgood to catch them again. They got busted for pot in a parking lot at Innsbrook. But the cops took their weed and let them go...told them they were lucky they were not put in jail.

  8. Just got back from the show. Won't give any spoilers, but will sum it up: It was entertaining, but story wise it was a mess.

     

    Still worth seeing and most will enjoy it. But it's not close to as good as Begins. It's too scattered and goes off the rails several times.

     

    Our local reviewer thought it was great until the last 30 minutes "The problem with the last half-hour is that movie builds up to its natural climax, which occurs around the two-hour mark, and then it keeps going. Everything after that first ending feels unnecessarily tacked on, especially when it spins off into peculiar directions. The story, which until then makes sense, becomes considerably less comprehensible. Cross-cutting between scenes is handled ineptly. The performers suddenly begin to overact. Character motivations change. And worst of all for a comic-book movie, the pace drags and it becomes dull. Even the Joker becomes tiresome. You'd be better off missing the last 30 minutes. If you leave when you first feel like you should, the experience will be nothing but terrific."

     

    True dat?

  9. Learn to read - my question wasn't about how long it would last, it's about how much extra energy (if any) it will consume. :lol:

     

    If the energy bills are roughly the same, I'm fine with the thing only lasting 8 years instead of 10 - the convenience would be worth it.

     

    But the text did say "In hot weather, compressors have to work overtime to keep food frozen", indicating that more energy would be consumed as the compressor cycles more frequently in hot weather. In any case, this link speaks more directly to energy consumption in refrigerators and freezers.

  10. My .02:

     

    Most anyone who puts their pic on an ad is hoping their image promotes some kind of comfort with the consumer. Also, someone may wish to tout your experience in a particular market and a picture can demonstrate that.

     

    There is a lot of data (I am not going to link) that a pleasant look is preferable to nasty-looking and the consumer will choose accordingly. I am somewhat amazed at the pictures people are willing to post. I guess they have a mistaken impression that they are good-looking. After all, most people post on dating sites/ads that they are nice looking.

     

    Sometimes, there may be confusion over gender with a unisex name (i.e., 'Chris', 'Ryan', etc.). Hopefully, a picture clears that up.

     

    This has been bugging me for sometime. Why do real estate agents use their picture/portrait? WTF is up with that? Any of you guys out there that can help me out?

     

    This is OTW right?

     

    :devil:

  11. Hybrids by definition have internal combustion engines also. Moreover, the ones that are in most implementations start and stop with large frequency. That cycling is a stress on the internal moving parts, as well as the starting motor, the associated ignition parts, and the flywheel it meshes with.

     

    And hybrids have to have very sophisticated control systems, and the more the complexity, the more possibility of component failure. Very pricey components.

     

    Honda discontinued its Accord Hybrid. The remaining hybrid vehicles are the Prius, the Civic, the Insight, the 100K Lexus 460h, the Saturn small SUV, the Chevy Malibu, the Ford Escape, and the GM Yukon full-size SUV.

     

    Honda discontinued its Accord hybrid due to its mpg being only slightly better than the non-hybrid model and being low when compared to other hybrids. It did not pertain to its complexity or component failure.

  12. We have a couple of openings. PM me if interested. I would need to know more about you before I would commit to a referral. These are tough times for hiring in the pharma area. There used to be many more on our site.
