  1. When I lived there 25 years ago the places I played sand volleyball were there was a sportsplex place where they had coed teams playing volleyball. growing up in city of tonawanda I recall one of the city parks having a sand volleyball field. Ithink some bars had them too. ithink beaver island had some
  2. i am unfamiliar with who this is. FYI… peop,e are cutting the cord and going to streaming services thinking it’s cheaper. FACZt…8wont be in a few years when you have to pay $25+ a month fir all these subscription streaming services. has sports popularity changed? There might be some shifting between sports. I don’t think the market has changed. remember customer loses can come from 1. person moves from own home to senior / retirement home where cable is provided. They are not a direct customer 2 you have the creation of couples/ roommates from single. It could come as a lost customer even though it’s not 3 people died 4 people switch providers 5 people go to streaming from cutting the cord 6 kids still living at home in their 20s so they aren’t adding as customers to cable or streaming counts. 7 newer apartments come with built in cable as part of rent. the issue has been on cable sports channels is what can we run during the daytime to get viewers. This is why nbc sports died and FOX sports hasn’t done well either. idont watch sports talk shows during the day on espn. I do watch live sports on them I don’t watch streaming sports online. I’ve watched things like Netflix on my TV.
  3. you can’t defend by putting hands over receivers eyes even without touching the receiver. then you will have balls intentionally batted to be behind the line. Reviews would need to be done on those.it’s moving the lines but the lines still gets crossed.
  4. Huey Dewey and screwy?
  5. didn’t he have some limitations on the deep route?
  6. the krngsington cut through and divided a black neighborhood. This is something that was commonly done throughout citues building expressways thru cities. About every one was racially motivated. Whites were more powerful and had control so they didn’t want it in their neighborhood. The wanted it thrus poor and minority neighborhoods. suburban built up also discriminated against blacks. Homr loans discriminated against blacks. Ever hear of “redlining”?
  7. You have many inaccuracies…. there was redlining and black zones. The Kensington expressway split a black neighborhood. This has happened in many other cities when expressways were built. They avoided white neighborhoods and cut thru black ones. the post WW2 GI bill benefited white veteran dips only allowing them to buy homes in the suburbs. The highways were built along when suburbs were built. https://ppgbuffalo.org/files/documents/data-demographics-history/a_city_divided__a_brief_history_of_segregation_in_the_city_of_buffalo.pdf The cities history was Irish south, Italians north, Polish on the east, Delaware park area was wealthy, Rest was black. erie canal did not enter Niagara in buffalo but used tonawanda creek into Niagara river
  8. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/07/16/how-railroads-highways-and-other-man-made-lines-racially-divide-americas-cities/ look at the above article. There is a drawing of buffalo based on 2010 census data. Parts of west side are and have always been white neighborhoods. in result of this shooting they have brought up how kengsington expressway was built and changing of neighborhoods. my dad taught at Grover fir 30 years
  9. two stories…. 1 I played pick up hockey at the old sabreland off Niagara Falls blvd with some friends. We rented ice time for once a week for most of the year. I was on the ice and I make a very good defensive play sliding on the ice on my stomach. I get on my knees sliding on knee/ shin guards and I turn my body as I’m still sliding so my skate blades hit the boards first. I get up I can’t put any weight on my one ankle. I strained my Achilles. It took 6-8 weeks to get better on its own. I could walk and stand but could not strain it more with running or skating or peddling a bike. 2. a couple years ago I had a meniscus tear. I was scheduled to have surgery. It had to get postponed at the last minute because the surgeon tore his Achilles playing basket ball. You think the dr should know better…
  10. not if they do it like week 2 for this year with games split between abc and espn. this year it’s 7 espn, 830 abc but they could do 8 abc, 930 pm espn west game dont forget in 23 Christmas and new years are on Monday.
  11. to me in buffalo this housing market is insane the last couple years. the last housing boom of 2004-2008 skipped over buffalo. im curious who the buyers are…. 1. Are they true local home buyers 2. are they people who work out of nyc/ Boston/dc decide to work remotely from buffalo. It’s an easy 1 hrflight if they need to go into work. 3. high cost cities having folks sell their home and move to buffalo pocketing 50% of their old house sale for retirement 4. pure investors this is true with all secondary markets out there. the housing price value does not coincide with regular workers income. My rule on house buying is going to under 3.5 your household income at the start of a 30 yr mortgage for new home buyers. If it’s above that it’s going to seriously strain you financially. If a couples combined income is $125K you can’t low $$400K depending on down payment amount. ilook at the home I grew up in. the value generally fluctuated between $65K-$80K for years. My parents bought in in mid 60s. Ehrn my dad entered nursing home we had to sell it for a loss. It needed work. it was bought once as a fix up. It was sold again as a second fix up. I guess the first didn’t have skills to do some of the work. It then sold for about double its historic avg value. Thsts why I don’t see it retaining that value long term given its basically a starter home.
  12. i think he wants to negotiate a better salary. maybe he’s POed about Collins worth getting resigned when he was hired expecting the gig to be his this year.
  13. For those looking to go to Baltimore above are two maps. you dont have to stay in downtown baltimore. The inner harbor area is fine The Baltimore aquarium is one of the best in the country. In the inner harbor the have various self boat rentals like pedal boats. Ft mcHrnry is where the anthem was written by francis Scott key. east side of inner harbor is little italy. if you stay at a bwi hotel…you take hotel shuttle to airport then take the free shuttle bus to the rail station. You can fly to dc airports and go metro subway to union station then MARC train to Baltimore. I don’t recall exact fare but it’s around $10 or so one way.
  14. many national media do t get as much as you might think. Secondary folks are lucky to get 6 figure salary. In media there is a big income divide between the stars and the secondary folks. Idont know how their contracts are done where they can do other gigs thry make more. Or if you think like a nation news tv correspondent like onsayABC might get paid more if they are also doing story work for nightline or 20/20, if they say get to host national news or get a hosing gig fir a day on GMA they might make extra sort of like weekly practice squad money vs being avpcti acted fir a game and get a game check that week.
  15. that 425 is 100% national game on CBS Detroit thanksgiving game is national 2 espn games 2 nbc games amazon game possible national Saturday flex game late season normal flexing times….hosting CLEVELAND and jets aren’t flexed games. Game at chicago can’t get flexed other than move to 4 pm. Games on thxgvg, Amazon, Monday night, and possible Miami game shift.
  16. Told you so….. Bills at SB winner to open the season
  17. the schedule formula is alternating sites when the divisions face each other every year, the years before are positional games that are consecutive one sided for example with the titans….. 2019 Positional finish east at south— titans 2920 position finish east at south — titans 2021 Div vs Div — bills at titans 2022 positional finish south at east — at titans 2023 positional finish south at east 2024 Div vs Div titans at bills 2025 positional east at south 2026 positional east at south 2027 Div vs Div bills at titans Above is based on patterns not changing 2002-2009 2009-2017 2018-2025 after 2025 season the opponent formulas could change. With in schedule pairs like buffalo and Miami are paired and how Div vs Div pattern us sept both between and with conference. In 2010 after first round they switch nfc west team pairings from SF-SEA to Rams-SEA where buffalo did @ sea in 2004, sea in 2008 and 2012, then @ sea in 2016, sea in 2020. similar opposite pattern occurs between east vs west where the non division match up are consecutive dame 2020 division kc at buf 2021 positional east at west 2022 positional east at west 2023 buf at kc 2024 positional west at east 2025 positional west at east
  18. what about high tech VR technology that shows/ hides penalties to the refs when there wasn’t/was
  19. i mentioned in the other thread when you have baseball fields near the football stadiums you can’t have games on the same day. Soccer stadiums are also near these places too. Others have Arenas Philadelphia baltimore kansas city seattle pittsburgh cincinnati dallas unsure with denver minneapolis Arenas close to football stadiums nashville la forum next to sofi unsure how close SAP center is to 49ers home vegas indianapolis phoenix did but hockey team moving. these places share the same parking lots and transportation options some of them could do a 12 pmET baseball game and an 8 pm ET football game but they don’t want to do that because they share the same stadium crews and concession and security operators
  20. Sunday being 9/11 having a NY team home makes some sense. i don’t see it needing to be in prime time because this isn’t a special anniversary date like if this was the 20 th anniversary. it makes more sense to do this on 9/11/31 falls on a Thursday night. thursday
  21. i lived at many different areas outside of buffalo and have travelled to just about everywhere in the country. im very critical of wings. i generally don’t touch them unless (1) there is a buffalo connection with the owner or (2) they use a contracted recipe. I’ve seen restaurants market using anchor bar recipe on wings. i respect Asian recipe wings. I don’t look at them as copycat.
  22. Back to back prime time has happened numerous times. everysesson there are a couple teams who have consecutive games on national tv. week 2 at home usually implies week 1 on road. most teams split the first 2 weeks. Only a few start 2 weeks either HH or RR. teams with near stadium conflicts also generally alternate weekends availability in the schedule. i think Dallas last year did Thursday opener then prime time week 2.
  23. Aiken and buck on GMA announced Monday DH on espn for week 2
