My respect for Coach Lynn is even greater...he didn't want to be Chip's wait for the shake guy...(see Mel Brook's History of the World)..

At first, Little Johnny's make-a-wish seemed a little outlandish...but everyone left happy especially after the free ice cream...

Wegmans in Cary should be the new Bills/Sabres bar in the Triangle :-)-- close off part of the cafe on game days....

Thanks for the insights...why worry about competition when you do business the right way and redefine the industry...

Triangle has Harris Teeter which is now owned by Kroger as the largest player. Food Lion is also a big player. Publix entered the market about 3 years ago. Whole Foods has 3 locations. Trader Joe's 3 locations. Aldi I think 4 locations. Fresh Market and Earthfare also here with one location each I think. There is really no place like Wegmans...its a market ready to be picked and Wegman's already is a brand lots of local folks know because of relocation from WNY...

Yep Steve, I worked in RTP for 14 years (2000-2014).. Davis Dr. is nothing like the little 2 lane feeder road through pastures it once was...When I lived in Chapel Hill in the late 1980s, Cary was 10,000 residents....now we are getting a Wegmans...we have truly arrived.

A glass half full life, a glass half empty football team....

Great news....appropriate that it is proposed for Cary -- which is the Containment Area for Relocated Yankees.....but wish it was Wake Forest....

Don't forget the one that started this trip to below mediocrity http://a.espncdn.com/nfl/news/2001/0131/1054160.html "He interviewed well"

That's definitely what St. Louis got PTR....

Gotta admit - that is a great comeback.....too damn funny.

This one..and a more recent case...the Santa Clara 49ers stadium is in an approach path for San Jose International and about 2.5 miles away. It will be interesting. I was at the Forum over the New Year holiday. Its a great site -- Kronke has more than just a stadium planned -- its multi-use retail, office and I even believe some residential. Its got wonderful existing access...

Spending time practicing how to line up and behave during the national anthem. #1 if you are worried about disrespectful behavior from certain players address it individually..don't take team time to do it... #2 these guys have been lining up for national anthems since middle school football....#3 a great opportunity for veteran players to transfer a lesson on professional behavior blown by an overly obsessive and controlling coach...I could add more.. The NFL is a players game ...Marrone wanted to make it a coach's game..or so it seemed.

Its pretty easy to talk in hypotheticals...it was just as, if not more likely that the following happened: 1) EJ was the full-time starter 2) The OL further regressed -- no Incognito 3) No Shady 4) Sammy becomes a serious malcontent 5) Jerry Hughes does not re-sign 6) D ebbs back a bit all equal 6-10 and house is cleaned...

Agreed Yolo.....it took a lot of pride swallowing for Schiano to go to OSU...Marrone may have to do the same -- OC at Boston College the next staff turnover there or something similar is my bet...

Its almost ditto what folks said about Greg Schiano in Tampa ..... now Urban Myer's DC at Ohio State. Marrone was smart to take the money and run. He basically got more than his slated salary in what probably would have been his last year coaching the Bills. Taylor would not have signed with the Bills (EJ would have told him not to come and they have known each other since they were very young) and no matter the D -- the O would have held the team back. I will admit that I actually liked the guy until I heard about the national anthem practice...that was the tipping point for me..

Inspirational. My favorite quote: “Eric Berry is a guy who normally works out for his lunch break,” said Chiefs cornerback Sean Smith, a friend of Berry’s. “He’s not going to stop working out just because he’s fighting death.” Kansas City's having a pretty kick ass pro sports year. This just adds to the success of the Royals and Chiefs ...

Is Syracuse still looking for an Offensive Coordinator?

Dear Diary, Go Giants Go Eagles Go 49ers Go Browns Go Titans!!!! St. Doug...

Server refresh >>>>>>> This Thread...

Rex is a drunk stupid frat boy with his head up his ass.....but he's our coach and I love him. Now lets go eat a !@#$ing snack..

My "glass half full best case"...Rob is the Chris Palmer of the defense....Palmer's contribution was likely under appreciated this year as he likely helped Lee with developing Tyrod and Roman with game planning. Despite my jokes about Delta Tau Bills -- I have no doubt that Rob is serious about rehabbing a tarnished reputation and both Ryan's want to honor Buddy with a great team...strong motivation. I don't believe either will tank it for the dollars...I do believe that this has a higher likelihood of blowing up than succeeding just because Rex appears too lax with both players and staff.... For all of us -- I hope this is a move we look back on with positive vibes this time next year...

Looking ahead to next season's bye week... (NSFW)

Next offseason both will be on a beach with an umbrella drink saying thank you Terry and Kim.....

I am fricking having a t-shirt made......if the guys from 26shirts are on line tonight I cede them the idea and pledge to buy the first dozen shirts...
