Hopefully Hardy pays close attention during this rookie symposium(the article references the 2007 symposium, but you get the picture)...

I am making a long week end for the home opener.For those of you that play golf could you tell me what are some of the better places to play up around your area.
Thanks
There is a brand new course that opened up last year off Southwestern Blvd. about 10 minutes from RWS. I'm not much of a golfer and haven't played there, but I here it is a nice course.

No way! I didn't mean to step on Johnny's toes. I only started watching this season so I had no idea.
Don't worry about it. Nice wrap up. Like I said, Johnny quit the reviews a couple of seasons back.
-
I only have one thing to add. AI is not the same without Johnny Coli's weekly reviews from a couple seasons back.
-
Okay fine, the Erie Basin Marina. I do not own a boat so I have no idea what these harbors are called. But anyways, they are building condos there.
Don't get me wrong. I agree with everything you posted. I justed wanted to clarify the areas you are talking about.
-
I think your talking about the land past the skyway. That has not been developed as of yet & who knows if it ever will. There are condos back in the small boat harbor, kinda back by the old Craw Daddy's(now Shang Hai Reds) that are being built. Some of them have been there for awhile now(I think Michael Pecca used to live in one of them)but they are putting new ones up also.
That is not the small boat harbor you are talking about. It is the Erie Basin Marina. The small boat harbor is just south of the proposed Freezer Queen development(see center of linked image).
-
Just a reminder for any folks that would consider buying one of those condos at the old Freezer Queen Site.
They are being built in a pier surrounded on three sides by water.
If you haven't been on the waterfront between December through March, you are going to have a new appreciation for what a Buffalo winter is really like.
I'm not talking Amherst, Lancaster or Orchard Park "tough Buffalo winter"-
I'm talking brutal, on the waterfront weather ,that most even true Buffalonians ,have never experienced on a daily basis.
Enjoy the view.............
...and how is this "nasty" weather at the freezer queen location different from the weather by the condos at the waters edge adjacent to the Erie Basin Marina, that are so popular that they are building a new tower?
It's not Antarctica and you're not living in a teepee, so stop with the dramatization.

...but I know there are some here who want the Draft to go on the road. So there you have it.
-
All this Mel hating cracks Me up because no single individual is more responsible for the Draft being the event it is today than Kiper...Sure He's opinionated, it's His freaking Job to do EXACTY that...He's a tireless worker who is darn good at what He does...I think Kiper is great...
-
how can you seriously grade a draft before any one really plays?
Simple...guys like Kiper & Mayock rank all the players before the draft and then hand out post-draft grades based on how teams drafted versus where they had them in their rankings. Nothing more, nothing less.
I'm not sure why guys like Kiper and Mayock get ripped so much. The other talking heads that participate in the draft coverage who should be shown the door are guys like Keyshawn, Mort, Jamie Dukes, etc...
Do you really believe that these folks put in the same number of hours that a Kiper or Mayock do? The draft when it was Kiper and Berman with the occasional cut to the studio or for an interview was much better than the 5 person sets that both the NFL Network and ESPN are now using. The draft shows now follow the philosophy of the pregame shows...throw 4 or 5 people on a set and have them all talk over each other and yuck it up.
-
Bottom line...The Bills can't afford to "miss" on picks in the 1st 3 rounds as they continue to struggle with breaking out of this 10 year period of mediocrity. If McKelvin & Hardy turn out to be productive starters and Ellis can become an effective situational pass rusher(at the very least),the draft should be considered a success. It's icing on the cake if any of the remaining picks turn out to be anything more than career backups.
-
We still have 3 more picks
4 more picks.
-
I bet he's an UDFA.
How much you want to bet?
-
Bowen is a 220 lb LB? Oh goody...another Coy Wire who can be converted to safety and then suck because it isn't his natural position.
-
Is Duke Preston really better than I think?
-
I'd be disappointed if the Bills didn't take a flyer on Justice or Sullivan this round. Fowler is nothing special and Preston is a disaster.
-
I think the McKelvin pick is a pretty good indicator that the future of Youboty(widely described here as a 3rd round steal who has 1st round talent) as a Bill is not looking good.
-
There is one good thing about the Ellis pick...
As long as the Bills coaching staff insists on constantly rotating the DE's(even though your best 2 DE are head and shoulders above the rest), this pick will at least take the long snapper(Neill) out of the DE rotation.
If Ellis turns out to be a great pass rushing specialist, that would be fine with me.

If you want to attend the NFL draft, don't want to stand in line all night, want the VIP treatment and have $625 laying around, here you go...
https://www.nfl.info/nflol/index.html (click on the tab for "draft 2008")
Someday I'll make it there.
PS I still think it would be a great idea to move the draft around to different NFL cities each year.

Getting sabrespace back up and running!

Prior to going back to a sports format, there was a talk show host on WGR who went by the title "JR on GR". Anyone know what happened to him? I had Sirius on today and heard an ad being done by a person named JR and his voice seemed familiar.

I still miss Antonella Seriously, the talent this season is drab - could it have really hurt to keep her around
I've said the same thing. I watch every now and then, but it is not must see TV like last year with the king of spaz Taylor Hicks!!!
Look what's left...
3 ugly black chicks(I guess the "idol" part does not apply. Where is Latoya London when you need her?), 3 COMPLETELY unforgettable male singers and SANJAYA. Actually, out of the final 7, Sanjaya provides the most in terms of entertainment value by far. Unfortunately, I doubt "vote for the worst" & Howard Stern can get Sanjaya all the way to the finale.

I know this doesn't really belong here, but it is too funny.
:devil: -
Does Salvatore still have the party at Shooters or did he stop in the last year or two?
Mike Schoop...

Except for the fact that Schoop wasn't such a douche on WNSA when it was "sports talk for smart people". I guess it just gives further credence to the fact that it's nothing more than an act which is directed by the WGR PD. Either that or Schoop is going through menopause.
