  1. Yes, The Prez, of course, and a couple neighbors. (Not The Judge though, at least not yet - once Mustang leads the way, we all follow!)

     

    Could swear the Verizon 'suit' on WRGZ-TV's morning news said they'll have both NFL Network and NFL Ticket, but can't find anything to support that so maybe I was still sleeping. I know he was really trying to 'zing' Time Warner - especially since WIVB has broken off negotiations w/TW, which could jeopardize Bills games on local cable!

     

    Here's the FiOS Hamburg lineup -

    And, if you just can't get enough info, here's more...

    No Canadian channels? I'd go through HNiC withdrawals. :lol:

  2. Bobby April is a great ST coach, but the Jackson lying down thing was flat out stupid. This is the NFL, not sandlot football. Concentrate on teaching the guys to always be aware of an onside kick and stop trying to come up with a gimmick that no one else is doing. In all my years of football, I have never seen anything like this. :lol:

  3. I'm curious to know how you think this preferred treatment is implemented. Do you imagine a secret meeting in the commissioner's office? Then a memo is sent to the head of officials who tells all the officials, "make sure to give the Broncos as many breaks as you can--the league wants them to win a lot of games this year because Brady got hurt and they are the new darlings." Do you really believe something like this takes place?

    <_<:devil:

  4. Now that Brady is out the Broncos appear to be the new league pet. I noticed in their first game this year that numerous calls went their way and they seemed to get all the close calls. That trend continued this week to the point where I am certain they will have an angel watching out for the all season in the form of NFL officials. I sick of hearing how great they are already. Let the ballwashing begin...

    Yes! I am positive that is what is happening behind the scenes. ;)

  5. I thought Officials were instructed to let questionable plays continue, so this would not happen

    Exactly right. Hoculi didn't blow the whistle inadvertently(this implies that he had the whistle in his mouth and blew air into it by accident). It was a premature whistle and in this case there was no reason for it. The QB was not in danger of being hit.

     

    I don't care how good of a reputation he has, he needs to be reprimanded in a big way for this f*** up.

  6. I also would like to know some places like that.

     

    El Palenque on Sheridan and Eggert (used to be a Denny's) is pretty good and cheap, but none of the stuff looks like those dishes Chef Jim was showing.

     

    Labbatt, where is El Canelo?

    On Dingens St., right off the 190 where the toll barriers used to be.

  7. Do you scream at tee ball players who strike out? Telling them they are not major leagues? This is what you remind me of here. No kidding Mighty Taco ain't like what you can get in L.A. No one is arguing with you. Begging your forgiveness that we actually eat and enjoy Mighty Taco even though it isn't up to your lofty west coast standards. Ponderous.

    :unsure: I've been to a few mexican restaurants here in Buffalo(El Canelo & Cinco de Mayo come to mind) and while they were okay, I wasn't blown away. Could someone point me to the hole-in-the-wall joint with the great Mexican food here in WNY? Until then, I'll still frequent MT and my poor tastebuds will just have to suffer.

  8. Some people need to just watch the game and stop over analyzing every single word the announcers say. Did you see what Joe Blow from ESPN wrote? Look where we are in the rankings? Peter King is an idiot? Berman doesn't love the Bills anymore? The Buffalo News sucks? Susie Obscurity from www.whocares.com dissed the Bills? and on and on and on...

     

    :unsure:

  9. There's been a lot of talk about expanding the NFL season, in essence to increase revenue for owners as a compromise when the CBA comes up later this year. At this point (and Roger Goodell has said it won't happen before 2010) I can't see the NFLPA ever agreeing to a 17 or 18 game season and shortening the preseason. There's too much risk for injuries.

     

    It's alarming again how many players are hurt already this year, and this morning the list grew even larger. Seattle lost starting guard Rob Sims, to go along with their three receivers of Branch, Burleson, and Engram. Miami and Jacksonville lost starting guards. Marques Colston is out 4-6 weeks, Seattle WR Drew Bennett the same time as Colston, and of course everyone's favorite man to hate, Tom Brady, is done for the season. Throw in the Vince Young's injury (he could be mentally and physically hurt), and in one week, the NFL has lost a host of name players.

     

    Of course, this happens every year, but with teams spending more money (and at the same time making more money) and expectations high, losing key players seems to be at an all-time high.

    I fixed your post.
