I'm gonna.

Indeed, then this man's death would not have been in vain.

I had my in-laws, who live outside Utica, tape it for me and as soon as I got home from the game I called them and asked that they get me that tape ASAP. They knew somebody driving to Rochester the next day so I met them and picked it up. I did record the ESPN pre & post games shows also. Still have those tapes.

Remember when we didn't suck?

I thought you'd be bigger.

Yeah fewer of them would be good too.

I hope Grant is OK - he didn't enter picks the last week of the pool and I snuck past with 12 wins to win by 1...

Who do you think is responsible for your failure to give the answer you wanted I do gotta say that those two hosts, just from your chat and the Wawrow chat also on their site, sound like two of the least engaging people on radio.

Hopefully this tragedy will lead to fewer paparazzi.

Not really. Here's the thing. The only change is that Russ is now Nix's "boss" - he now has decision making authority in the football operation where he used to only be on the business side of the house. But from the sound of it, he's empowering Buddy to make those decisons to me meaning he's not going to overrule buddy because buddy is the expert. Reading between the lines, this says to me that "someone" has overruled Buddy in the past. I'd like to know what those specific occasions were and what Buddy's recommendation was at the time.

Yes, perhaps I should have used the word 'answered' instead of 'asked'

Buddy reports to Brandon now, not Ralph. And when Brandon actually was GM we saw how he handles football personnel decisions - poorly. Brandon said he empowers the experts to make the decisions. These two things to me say that Nix now has more power, not less. I think Ralph always has inserted himself into these decisions, and this was not always in the best interest of the team.

I know they would not put people on the spot like this, and paint Ralph in a worse light, but to point out how things might be different now I wonder what decisions were made recently where Russ would have gone one way but was overruled by Ralph or someone else.

Do we think the London Fletcher hit on Fitz in Toronto last year might've had the same effect? He never was the most accurate passer but the deep ball pretty much completely disappeared from his "aresenal" after this happened.

Thanks for trying, Chan.

Very cool

^^^ this. There are many that give business wear to people who are trying to get their lives back together.

Almost never, by the sound of things.

He plea-bargained down to manslaughter (apparently to save taxpayers the expense of a trial). Sentenced to 8 1/3 to 25 years. At parole hearing in 1996 he stated he wouldn't be there if he didn't think it was mandatory cause it wasn't worth the time and effort... He was parolled 6 months later after 17 of those 25 years (apparently to save taxpayers the expense of his incarceration). The system is seriously !@#$ed.

Apparently the sister was trying to get away from him - had bought her own house in Henrietta (about as far away from Webster as you can be in Monroe County) on Dec 13th.

Always wanted to try it so I'm signed up.
