yall

Thanks! I see now they're doing a few global streams. Looking forward to it!

Fantastic write up! Thank you!

i ended up just doing a VPN. Took 30 seconds and appears to work on the CBC.tv site.

Fantastic write up, as usual Astro. Saves me a drive out to SJF. Thanks!

Agree wholeheartedly. And I don't mind the slogan itself, but rather their need to clobber me over the head with it every 30 seconds.

The horn doesn't annoy me that much, but they don't seem to overuse it. Then again I'm usually to buzzed to care.

Was anyone else annoyed by the constant barrage of the apparent 2016 season motto during last night's broadcast? "BILLS RUN DEEP!" and "RUN DEEP" splash screens were shown after every 2nd or 3rd play. I don't feel like I'm exaggerating when I say it popped up every minute. If we'd have done shots for every occurrence, there would be 3 bodies on ice at ECMC.

It most certainly IS blocked, thanks for the heads up. Do you recommend VPN or some other DNS proxy?

Cable yes, FIOS no (-1 FIOS). Looks like I will be streaming, which isn't a huge issue, since I have 75/75 internet (+1 FIOS). Between my firestick and a hardwire connection from my PC<->Router I should be ok with those two options. Maybe I'll get lucky and some station on FIOS would carry it. Larkin party sounds fun, but my in-ground pool, outdoor 16'x9' projection screen, tiki bar and kegerator sounds better.

Does anyone know if you can pick up CBC/Canadian Television Stations in OP with an antenna? I’m having a party for the last Tragically Hip show, and would prefer to have a more reliable solution (or at least a back up) to streaming. Some OTA maps seem to indicate I wouldn’t be able to receive a signal, but I have trouble believing that OP can’t get a CBC station.

Not sure, but you might be better off getting a service.

Not many "hotels" near the stadium (which in 5 miles). Mostly motels. As far as Uber goes, no love there either.

"Obama pledges support". I'm sure that's comforting to the Germans.

Are you by any chance the same "Buffalo Joe" who is also a douchebag local concert promoter with a history of ripping off bands? If you were, I wouldn't be at all surprised.

When he was in power there were plenty of suicide bombers. It's just that he was smart enough to pay them to do it somewhere else: http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=129914

I'm not a fan of the medium thickness crust or the Cisco truck sauce that is on 90% of the pies in town. A few really good places, but a whole lot of mediocre.

DiTondo's is legit. Weird operating hours but excellent food. My thoughts on pizza in WNY: it mostly sucks. Mostly.

In all a nice list. My only argument might be about the Bar Bill wings being the sauciest. Not that they are under-sauced, but they not saucy compared to most other places. IIRC they brush the sauce on and don't shake them like other establishments.

The Peerless building? Maybe they are nostalgic for a 1B at receiver. Seriously though, downtown stadium or not, this made sense. The place is a bit of an eyesore and distracts from all of the recent development down there. For years I was hoping Terry or Kim would just offer to pay to paint the damn place.

I don't think Sammy Morris was ever a Bronco.

Backgammon?

I saw that article on the front page and avoided it like it was the plague. Nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo News.

It means you might be getting a visit from the Fed's for soliciting the kiddie stuff...

How so? Romney had what, 40-50 million votes in the last presidential election? The point being you can be a longshot to win and still have a large swath of idiots behind you. Edit: I'm not commenting on Romney voters when I say "idiots".

Just a heads up, your Kinect for the 360 is not the same as the Kinect for the One. They are different versions and not interchangeable. As far as the Elite controller goes, I can attest that it's the best controller I've ever used. That being said, most people probably won't need it as it's geared towards the hardcore.
