I caught the new Air Jaws episode last night. The super slo-mo HD footage of those great whites propelling themselves out of the water is mind blowing. And the guys who sprawl out on a mini raft 10 feet away from the seal "bait" to get those shots are certifiably insane.

i think they added pretty much all of the 30 for 30 - and ive yet to see a really bad episode.
a nice perk is even those not interested in sports can typically enjoy the stories told (if watching with the wife for instance).
I watched the Steve Bartman one and the one on Rotisserie baseball last night. Both were very good.

Happy fargin birthday!

I'm not sure but I think they do that every year.
They do.

Thank you kindly, gentlemen. 41. uggh.

If youre taking it that direction, sorry but there'll only be one Tap
For the parody aspect of the act absolutely. For musicianship, not even close IMO.

Can you explain to me why I am not a wilco fan? They kind of remind me of my morning jacket and I like them...don't love em but I do like it. Perhaps its the hype surrounding wilco....I mean I've heard more than one person say Yankee Foxtrot Hotel is this generations Sgt. Pepper..I don't get it...I'm feeling left out...
Well I certainly was more into Wilco immediately after the Uncle Tupelo split. The albums AM, Being There and Summerteeth are still their best IMO. I liked YHF, but I don't feel it's as great as some others do. After YHF Wilco kind of lost me, they got way too out there and mellow. I heard some of their recent albums described as "dad rock". Having said that, I really enjoyed their most recent album, The Whole Love, it has moments on it that remind me of those first three records. One Sunday Morning from that album is one of my favorite Wilco songs. I am a big My Morning Jacket fan too btw.
....and steel panther leaves those other hair bands in the dust...they are awesome....think john valby in a hair metal band... :-)That's a great way to describe Steel Panther. They started out as a VH tribute band on sunset strip. I've seen them do DLR era VH covers and they are note for note spot on. They will be at the Rapids Theater in Niagara Falls next week (8/8) for any WNYers who want to check them out.

Many iconic Panther songs, this is one of the few that is semi-SFW. Just Like Tiger Woods
If you don't golf that's okay
You can be a tiger anyway
Lie through your teeth when things gets tough
Or your balls are gonna wind up in the rough, yeah yeah
If you wanna be like Tiger Woods
Fertalise the ladies in the neighbourhood
Get real rich and you will find
All the hot chicks will want to grind
If you wanna be like Tiger Woods
Grip that shaft like you know you should
Get a platinum card, it will be all good
The girls will want you just like Tiger Woods
Remember this when you're having fun
Three holes are better than a hole in one, yeah
If the word gets out don't be afraid
When a 9 iron's heading for your escalade, yeah yeah
If you wanna be like Tiger Woods
Filling all the divots in the neighbourhood
Don't worry about those 3-foot putts
You cover your tracks when you're banging them sluts
If you wanna be like Tiger Woods
Text messages are never good
Nail a girl at the driving range
Your life will change, just like Tiger Woods
Have your best friend book all your flights
Tell your wife that you're golfing nights
Get a call girl and maybe just chill
Be willing to part with a hundred mill
Bang a new pornstar every day
Tell your sponsors it will be okay
Surprise them all with an invitation
To a viewing of your first double penetration, yeah
If you wanna be like Tiger Woods
Poking all the holes in the neighbourhood
Tell your wife how it's gonna be
Your driver is community property
If you wanna be like Tiger Woods
Become the king of your neighbourhood
Like Steel Panther and Tiger Woods
Just like Tiger Woods, oh yeah yeah

Since there's a lot of Rush fans here, I thought I'd share that the album (MP3 version) is only a buck on Amazon today.
Seeing as how CA is, IMO, their best work since Moving Pictures, that is a steal.
-
Overall, it's Rush by far.
Other bands that are up there: Porcupine Tree, Metallica, Zeppelin, Wilco, Uncle Tupelo, Blue Rodeo, 54-40, Big Head Todd and the Monsters.
Over the past six months it's by far: STEEL PANTHER!!! 80's radio rock (think VH, Whitesnake, Bon Jovi, Scorpions, Def Leppard, Motley Crue etc.) better than those bands ever did it.

It's real simple. The Pats are perennial division champs. I wouldn't expect ESPN or other media outlets to not give them their due. Maybe Buffalo will again be the media darlings as they were in the early 90's, but not until they win on the field. Teams like the Pats are going to get the attention as they are always in the mix come playoff time. Let's see, the Pats have appeared in the playoffs 13 of the past 17 seasons including 9 of the past 11 seasons. Buffalo hasn't been to the playoffs in 12 years. Who are you going to talk about if you are ESPN? I'm talking about the Pats if I'm ESPN. Until the Bills EARN the attention of the media by becoming a perennial playoff team, I'd expect to see only brief mentions of the Bills in the national media. This is as it should be. Go Bills.
While all of this is true, why should it in any way preclude a BILLS fan from despising the Pats with every fiber of their being?

I played catcher as a kid in lttle league. Took a foul tip off my throat. The only thing that scared me was how freaked out the coaches were.
I was pitching for our travel baseball team in the PAL in Delaware Park one year. I was like 14 or 15, and I was able to actually bring some good heat when I wanted. Anyway, this kid squares around to bunt on me, and foul tipped the pitch right into his face. His nose was a mangled mess, blood spurting through his fingers, the whole nine yards. I almost threw up right there on the mound.

Like Levi, mine was a car accident. I was driving home from work to go pick up my then two year old son from daycare. My normal route home was detoured so I'm driving about 45 mph on a two lane road when an F-150 coming the other way goes off the road on his right, over corrects, causing him to careen into the front left side of my car. The last thing my left ever ever saw was the maroon color of the F-150 a split second before impact. Glass penetrated my eye, and the plastic column between the door and windshield got crushed into my face, bascially lifting the skin on the left side of my face from nose to eyebrow off, leaving it hanging by a flap. When I came to a stop I was able to scramble out of the passenger side door a hobble away from the car. This is when I realized the pain in my leg and that it was likely broken, and it was. Still the blood pouring out of my face seemed to be the most urgent matter at the time, so I took off my shirt and stuffed it over my face to stop the bleeding. By the time someone stopped to help I had convinced myself that I was going to make it, but for a few minutes I sure felt like it was my time. Your life does indeed flash before your eyes in these situations, that I can attest. I asked the first guy who stopped if he could find my cellphone so that I could call my sons daycare. What I learned afterwards is that when I talked to the daycare I just told them I'd be a little late picking up my son, and when I called my wife I told her that I was in a "little" accident and that I'd be home a little later. I don't really remember saying that in those calls, but apparently I was in shock and didn't want to admit to myself or anyone else how badly I was hurt. Three years and 13 surgeries later I was able to put it behind me, but one thing that will absolutely never leave me is the sound of breaking glass and crunching metal at impact. That definitely still haunts me to this day.

I read this based on your recommendation a while back. It actually is pretty entertaining. It feels like a very amateur effort, but the guy does know how to keep the action rolling. He doesn’t have time for petty concerns like character development or plausibility or what you might describe as “good writing” in any way, but it does move—I’ll give it that.
And yes, its flaws work in its favor, making it quite funny too.
You actually read that on my recommendation? 'Cause...y'know...I wasn't actually serious.
Only reason I read it was because it was 99 cents on Kindle, and occasionally I need a break from military history and give my brain a rest...so why the hell not?
Any recommendations for Bigfoot War 2: Dead In The Woods?

I too never give money to panhandlers. I do however always offer to walk with them to the closest sandwich shop etc. and buy them a meal. I haven't been taken up on that offer yet. If you give them cash it's a near certainty that the local liquor store will have that money by days end.

I’ve been enjoying this site for a few years without posting, but you guys have really inspired me today. There’s been some disputation about Buffalo weather in this thread. Well, here’s my take: A “Four Seasons Tribute” to my beloved hometown.
Winter: Getting up with my brother at 5:30 to deliver our newspapers -- pitch darkness and hellish weather be damned -- and never missing a day in 3 years (even that first morning in ’77, when our main goal was to prevent our eyeballs from getting lashed from our faces). Simple and unsaid rule: our dad went out to work in the worst winter weather, and so the hell did we.
Spring: That ONE day, when you would stumble out of school into the brightness, throw off your jacket, roll up your sleeves for the first time since September, and then just stand there – silent, slack-jawed, blinking with disbelief; feeling that indescribably sweet warmth on your skin. No one could ever experience that feeling without first living through a Buffalo winter.
Summer: Dull roar of kids playing outside mixed with the dawn-to-dusk blare of lawnmowers and 97 Rock. 10-cent afternoon swims at the public pool, Lions-PAL baseball at Delaware Park, Chevy Tonawanda UAW softball games, evening basketball and touch football after the church parking-lot asphalt cooled down a bit. Jostling with my brothers to grab the sports page when the BEN arrived, eager to check out the Bills’ training-camp news (some rookie named Lucious Sanford hitting everything that moves …).
Fall: In the backyard on an exquisitely beautiful late-September Sunday afternoon. Tossing around a football with my brothers while Van Miller calls out the play-by-play from our parents’ 1950s-vintage radio, perched in the open dining-room window. Rookie Jerry Butler scores FOUR touchdowns, Bills beat the hated Jets – and the very first leaves are starting to tinge red and gold on the maple trees.
I adore my non-Buffalonian wife, but if I told her that September afternoon with my brothers was probably one of the 5 happiest days of my life, she would look at me with disbelief -- and I honestly couldn’t blame her. The damn thing is, I don’t know any of you guys here on TBD, but you all understand exactly what I mean. THAT is why I love Buffalo …
Great post. This captures much of what I miss about my hometown.

Okay I swear this isn't a troll post....
I can't stand rush. Musically they are amazing - yyz is a great tune. Geddy lee however is nails on a chalkboard to me. I can't stand the high pitch singing and often used to confuse them with heart.
I understand there is an extremely loyal fan base and they get rated high by many on the all time great list but not for me. I can't be the only one but I will be the one to break up this rush lovefest. (great place for the devil emoticon but they aren't available on my phone)
To each their own, Rush is a band that you either get or don't. For all the loyal fans there are an almost equal number of ardent detractors, which is largely the reason why Rush never has and never will get their just due in rock circles. The Geddy from late 80's on doesn't really sing that high, at first it was a choice to move in that direction, but now he physically just can't sing that high anymore.
-
The Los Angeles Kings won their first Stanley Cup trophy on Monday night after 45 years of existence, sending their hundreds of fans into a frenzy.
This is one of the main reasons why I never root for teams in the NFL or NHL to win that haven't won before. That will change if the Bills or Sabres finally get one, but until then I'd probably root for the likes of the Pats* or Dolphins to win before a first timer.

4/5 stars from the Buffalo News
Someone forgot to tell Rush that rock music this ambitious is not particularly in style at the moment. But then, these guys probably wouldn’t have listened anyway. “Clockwork Angels” is a sublime creation. -
Brown with the F bomb in the post game interview. Nice.
-
Geddy and Alex interviewed by Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins fame. This is a great interview, not your typical journalist interviews rock band crap.

That was my favorite yesterday, today it's the Wreckers, heck they're nearly all damn good to great songs. The only song that I don't really care for is BU2B2.
-
But my point is out of all the people in line why did they just happen to pick him out to talk to. Seems like quite a coincidence. And no one's heard him sing? Where does he practice? On Mt Everest??
Good questions, but if others have heard him before or more importantly if he's had a vocal coach, they are bound to be irritated if he's lying and I would think he'd be outed soon.
