  1. Fail Safe in 64 still scares me today because it seemed possible.
  2. Looks like NHL teams volunteer and the league chooses which ones It's the second time the Sabres have played in a Kraft Hockeyville preseason game. They faced the Ottawa Senators in 2010 in Dundas, Ontario, that year's Hockeyville Canada winner. "We're excited to once again have a chance to participate in a Kraft Hockeyville USA preseason game," Sabres general manager Tim Murray said. "As an organization we're proud to be a part of such a tremendous community initiative." https://www.nhl.com/news/hockeyville-usa-2016-winner-is-marquette-mich/c-280524324
  3. Joe Namath HOF Fitz Pass attempts: 3,762 3,627 TD–INT: 173–220 158-126 Passing yards: 27,663 24,190 Passer rating: 65.5 79.8
  4. What a nice place and crowd for that game. It was like going back in time. Even enjoyed hearing the National Anthem
  5. Ravens’ Ben Watson gives fantastic response regarding Colin Kaepernick and National Anthem http://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/2016/9/6/12814902/ravens-ben-watson-gives-fantastic-response-regarding-colin-kaepernick-and-national-anthem
  6. Payback in Afghanistan could have been done with bombing and drones for a fraction of the cost. Operation Desert Storm 17 January – 28 February 1991 (1 month, 1 week and 4 days) For Kuwait invasion was done right and paid for mostly by other countries
  7. After the U.S. has borrowed $trillions to fight in the M.E. and lost thousands of lives and injured was it worth it ? I even think the overthrow of Gaddafi made matters even worse.
  8. So far the Bills need both players. Just hope the numbers work . Watching the Panthers without Norman , Julio 300 yards , yikes
  9. Heading into Sunday’s game against the Patriots, Taylor had a new method in determining where he was going with the football. Offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn encouraged Taylor to focus more on the matchups he was surveying pre-snap, rather than the progression he’d have to go through with his reads on the play. The results were noticeably better in Week 4. http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Tyrod-Taylor-in-comfort-zone-with-new-offensive-approach/57f042c6-d928-4b62-a319-525367bf3c62
  10. The Middle East with millions of traumatized desperate refugees will no doubt be a source of many angry terrorists . The U.S. should have never gone into the quagmire of Afghanistan or Iraq. The so called rebels to take on Assad and Russia since 2011 means they must have massive support from Saudi Arabia and other rich countries who want Assad out of there way. JMO to this tragedy.
  11. The Legend of Kiko meets Garoppolo ouch http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/09/kiko-alonso-injure-jimmy-garoppolo-new-england-patriots-miami-dolphins-nfl-refs-illegal-hit-video-rules
  12. Here is one take about about oil price and Syria According to Rashid Abanmy, President of the Riyadh-based Saudi Arabia Oil Policies and Strategic Expectations Center, the dramatic price collapse is being deliberately caused by the Saudis, OPEC’s largest producer. The public reason claimed is to gain new markets in a global market of weakening oil demand. The real reason, according to Abanmy, is to put pressure on Iran on her nuclear program, and on Russia to end her support for Bashar al-Assad in Syria. When combined with the financial losses of Russian state natural gas sales to Ukraine and prospects of a US-instigated cutoff of the transit of Russian gas to the huge EU market this winter as EU stockpiles become low, the pressure on oil prices hits Moscow doubly. More than 50% of Russian state revenue comes from its export sales of oil and gas. The US-Saudi oil price manipulation is aimed at destabilizing several strong opponents of US globalist policies. Targets include Iran and Syria, both allies of Russia in opposing a US sole Superpower. The principal target, however, is Putin’s Russia, the single greatest threat today to that Superpower hegemony. http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-secret-stupid-saudi-us-deal-on-syria/5410130
  13. Chris Brown credits Anthony Lynn for telling Taylor to look at the D and throw to the best match up instead of going thru progression. I was skeptical of Lynn, not anymore.
  14. Rex said he will play as many snaps as he can handle 30 , 40 have to wait and see (Murph show)
  15. Vote for Bills Player of the Week at http://www.bluerockenergy.com/potw/ Zach had my vote
  16. Barbara Bush, a daughter of former President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush, attended a Hillary Clinton fundraiser in Paris Saturday night, according a source familiar with the event. Bush posed for a picture with Huma Abedin, the longtime Clinton aide who was hosting the fundraiser with Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/02/politics/barbara-bush-hillary-clinton-fundraiser-huma-abedin/index.html
  17. CHRIS CHRISTIE, RUDY GIULIANI: DONALD TRUMP'S ABILITY TO AVOID TAXES WAS 'GENIUS' http://www.newsweek.com/christie-giuliani-trump-tax-writeoff-genius-505263 Rudy Giuliani answered the charge that he faces accusations of infidelity on Sunday by saying it's not just him. "Everybody does," the former New York City mayor and Donald Trump supporter said. http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/02/politics/rudy-giuliani-infidelity-everybody-does/index.html
  18. Leona Helmsely A billionaire, she was convicted of tax fraud that started with small and obvious acts of evasion. She had a harsh persona too, earning her the nickname the “Queen of Mean.” During her tax evasion trial, a former employee testified that Helmsley said: “We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes.” http://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2015/04/17/10-notorious-tax-cheats-queen-of-mean-leona-helmsley-proved-little-people-can-put-you-in-jail/#3a662d31a38c
  19. October surprise right on time Donald Trump's business losses in 1995 were so large that they could have allowed him to legally avoid paying federal income tax for up to 18 years, The New York Times reports. In a story published early on Sunday, the Times said it anonymously received the first pages of Trump's 1995 state income tax filings in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut - showing a net loss of $915,729,293 in federal taxable income for that year. According to tax experts hired by the newspaper, provisions in the tax code would have allowed Trump to use his near $916m loss to cancel out an equivalent amount of taxable income over an 18-year period. The Times said that although Trump's taxable income in subsequent years is unknown, a $916m loss in 1995 would have been large enough to wipe out more than $50m a year in taxable income over 18 years. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/10/donald-trump-avoided-paying-taxes-years-161002050001300.html
  20. Meanwhile, an estimated 10,000 Syrian-led troops have gathered in advance of what is believed to be a possible final ground assault by Syrian forces against rebels in Aleppo. Sputnik reported that Russian's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, "If the US launches a direct aggression against Damascus and the Syrian army, it will lead to terrible, tectonic shifts not only on the territory of this country but also in the region in general." She said the United States risked creating a power vacuum in Syria were it to depose Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Such a power vacuum would be filled by "terrorists of all sorts," Sputnik reported. http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/01/middleeast/syria-aleppo-bombing/index.html a destroyed country, millions of refugees, what a mess
  21. , thanks we needed that
  22. Washington (CNN) Libertarian vice presidential hopeful Bill Weld said Friday that he's "not sure anybody is more qualified than Hillary Clinton to be president of the United States," the latest misstep in what's been a painful week for the third-party ticket. http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/30/politics/bill-weld-hillary-clinton-qualified/index.html
  23. If Gordon could be ready for next season would be ok. Browns over charged the Bills for Sammy, give us a break on Josh.
  24. The truth is out there; the Bills could afford Hogan as a $1.67 million player, but not a $2.3 million player. If they had more cash, maybe they would have tendered him at the second-round level in order to receive a second-round pick in return if he signed elsewhere. Instead, they left him open to be poached without anything in return for a relatively paltry sum. If the highly likely event that the Bills don't match the Patriots' offer sheet, they'll receive no compensation when Hogan changes teams. http://www.buffalorumblings.com/buffalo-bills-news/2016/3/11/11195212/chris-hogan-patriots-offer-sheet-buffalo-bills-free-agency oops
  25. I'd still like to see what Bush can do as a receiver and give Dez Lewis a look. Stop rushing injured players back. High ankle sprain for Glenn is another.
