  1. If you can, catch the story about C Dobler on ESPN. Emphasis on story is about his wife, who broke her neck and damaged her spinal cord. Paralyzed from the neck down. This has taken a lot out of Conrad financially, emotionally, etc. Daughter got accepted to USC, but CD can't afford to have her go there (will go to Miami of OH in fall). Med bills are approx $750K to date.
  2. Out of work (unemployed) - as I currently am.
  3. Caught the tail end of the Dan Patrick show today. He was running through a list of names to J Thiesman asking him if they should be in the HOF. Thiesman said NO to A Reed.
  4. Freakin cloudy here in Columbus OH. Otherwise, I'd bundle up and look for it.
  5. Different times and different situations between the two teams. The Bills did not have to contend with free agency like now. The players were pretty consistent from year to year. Many of the Bills players "moved up the ladder" together. Teams today are pieced together and hope that they can make a run and stay away from injury. When the Bills had an injury there was a really good player behind him to backfill. In general, I look back at those teams with fondness and admiration knowing that that kind of run will not happen again.
  6. IMO, this may be the best show on tv. Shows what we should be doing as a society. However, I do think that some of the bells and whistles are over the top. Just get the family back on its feet, not make it look like The Beverly Hillbillies.
  7. "I believe that women who want to wear thongs should have to fill out an application." I was witness to that tonight. YIKES.
  8. I don't post too often, but read the messages quite a bit. Currently unemployed.
  9. I do my own yardwork. Not only is it physical exercize, but a mental release from the daily grind.
  10. First trip out west (probably 20 years ago) was to Steamboat Springs. All by itself, nice little town. Good for a long weekend, but I would not make a whole week there. Plenty of good skiing. Have been to UT and CO since then. Have to put UT at the top. Have WY, MT, and ID on the "to do" list
  11. Couple of thoughts. There are bike tours of DC. You get to pack quite a bit in a very short time and see some things that you would not normally see. Plus, you get some exercise. One other thought is the Marine Corps drill team "show". This is done at night (Fridays, I think) at the Naval barracks, near the river. Tickets are very hard to come by.
  12. If you have any ibuprofen (sp?), take about 4. Should help.
  13. How is it that it is TD's decision to make? IMO, the on field personnel decisions fall squarely on MM shoulders.
  14. Jags put the franchise tag on DD. Miami would have to pony up a chunk of change to get him.
  15. I've been trying to contact him, but have not gotten any response. If you have, let me know.
  16. I remember seeing him on tv in Buffalo wrestling against "The Chief" on Saturday mornings. It makes you wonder what kind of player he would be in today's game.
  17. Why move to ND or anywhere else. That's how all the locals look like in South Bend.
  18. A few other interesting listings: Andy Roddick (tennis player) Mark Phillipoussis (tennis player) Southwest Airlines ( , like she stands in line with the rest of us schmucks) Ashley Olsen ( ) Even my last name shows up on this list. I had to look at it twice to make sure that I hadn't done something that I didn't remember. ( )
  19. Discovery Channel announces that Lance Armstrong will ride in the 2005 Tour de France to attempt for a 7th Tour win.
  20. I would like to see some Olympic-type round robin t'ment. Play only the teams in your conference. Then have the two conference winners play for the Cup.
  21. The Blue Jackets GM has said that their payroll started at 20M (2000/2001) and has grown to 38M last year (2003/2004). That is a 90% increase in just 4 seasons. He also did say that some of the signings that caused that increase were a mistake on his part as well. I don't blame the owners for holding strong on this cap. ** Didn't see the link posted above. 34M for 2003/2004. 70% increase. **
  22. Best show that I have seen in a long time. Like the joke on Sat that he mentioned about the small plane running on one engine. Passenger asked how far the one running would last. RW said "All the way to the crash site."
  23. My grandfather lives in Springville as well. 219, just north of the golf course. Plants a fairly good size garden too. Small world.
  24. I would like to point out the equation between unions and the state of NYS and WNY.
  25. The Searchers with J Wayne. Rear Window with J Stewart and Grace Kelly. What a beauty Kelly was. Lawrence of Arabia with Omar Sharif. For a Saturday morning, Feris Beuhler's Day Off.
