BP, I am 50 years old so a different generation-- my grandparents lived on Oliver St. between Robinson and Schenck. I spent just about every day after school at their house from 1965 to 1970 when we moved from WNY. The bars were definitely blue collar drinking holes in those days. The Italian club was next door to my grandparents. My grandfather said he liked the area because it was a great mix of residences, Italian stores, an old fashioned pharmacy with a dining counter, bars and restaurants and I have to admit it was a lot of fun. They were not high class watering holes, there were a couple of dives mixed in, there was a high concentration so I wouldn't be surprised if the world record story is factual. I don't remember a lot of law enforcement activity on the street ever -- the NT police had a peaceful co-existence with the patrons. I don't ever remember hearing bar brawls or sirens in the middle of the night and I spent more than a few nights with my grandparents. The typical day was -- go to my grandparents from school and go on a walk with my grandpa while he showed off his favorite grandson (ha ha) to the neighbors. You jogged a lot of great memories. Thanks!

Guatemala's Version of the Bills Why say it on an Internet Message Board when you can say it with a gun.....

I heard you were a wedgie man....... Here's Florio's take at Pro Football Talk....on some subjects I think he is FOS but he is a lawyer (which confirms in some minds, not mine, that he is FOS)... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/17/league-union-agree-to-federal-mediation/

Maybe there is hope...no word on if this is binding...meaning that the sides agree to live with the finding of the mediator...that's more arbitration I guess.... http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=6132690

I hear you Wiz...the thing I never get is that both sides are willing to burn most of the 3% on legal fees just to say they won. I won't be brash and say that a protracted negotiation will kill the game--that's not even possible with the now Global appetite for this game. If this group can't get it done, the Fans (represented by 2 million or so season ticket holders) should take anti-trust action and also file civil suit. Try to void the league so we can start over. Ask for damages for pain and suffering on the civil side. I am sure a law firm would take the case based on the potential settlement income. File the suit the day the lockout is scheduled to begin. Deal with the owners and players in language they understand. Make Cromartie our spokesperson :-)

The only crazy old man owner that should be in that room is our crazy old man owner. Our crazy old man warned the rest of them (with Mike Brown) that this was a bad deal for the owners. Maybe Manning needs to instruct Richardson on finances since the players ended up with the best deal last time. One thing I don't understand...the NFLPA's offer that was cause for the owners to walk away was 50% of all revenue with no hold backs. So 1/2 of $9B is $4.5B to the players. Even if Revenue grows to $11B -- the players offer was $5.5B. The current deal is the owner's get to hold back $1B and then give the players 60% of the rest. So on $9B - the players get 60% of $8B ($9B minus the $1B hold back) so the players get $4.8B. The players offer is actually an olive branch. On $11B in revenue the players would get 60% of $10B or $6B. The owners want to hold back $2B in revenue -- and still give the players 60% -- under $9B that would be $4.2B (of 60% of $7B) and under $11B that would be $5.4B to the players. The players offer on $9B is actually an olive branch that splits the difference. Does anyone in their right mind thing NFL revenue is going to go down.... If this becomes a protracted negotiation over 3% of the revenue the game generates...its a little ridiculous and not in the best interest of the game.

Definitely the number 1 player on this board.....

An option might be to donate tickets to a local charity that can use them. We live in Raleigh and get to two games a year but donate the rest to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Erie County. They are used and are much appreciated. Just renewed.....and now hoping there is a season...

Look at how fast he was--that lump of hair on the top of his head can't even keep up..

Here was the official Bills scouting report on Dareus....

Sorry to step on your greatness...

Greg Manusky appears in line for the SD D Coordinators role.... Manusky

Just got the text....Wanny meets with his pupils

Wow...glad I have already consumed my low cal, healthy lunch....eeeek. So this whole thread reminds me of my favorite t-shirt--exquisitely modeled here: favorite picture.tiff

Pure Speculation: George Edwards would be ILB coach where he has experience. Wanny and others will be considered for DC. Chan has realized he needs a strong D coordinator because he ended up spending too much time on the D during the year and it wore him out plus his passion is O...
