  1. I'm sure the manager blew me off for a few reasons. First, admitting that your staff did something wrong might require him to take some sort of action (comp'd meal or chastising the waitress). Secondly it would mean that he had to take the word of an irate customer over his staff, which is not always a good thing.

    Rule # 1 - Customer is always right.

     

    Rule # 2 - See Rule # 1

     

    Face it. Most(not all) people in customer service related positions just don't give a sh-- anymore.

  2. I've heard it's terribly boring.  And be prepared to pay $40 for lunch at the Garden.  I'll take it on TV, thanks, and I live in the city!

    Why would you be eating an expensive lunch at the Garden when the draft is being held at Radio City Music Hall? :P

  3. Sorry, mean no disrepect but the new Mayor of Buffalo has to go.  This guy doesn't have a clue.  Yeah, Buffalo will survive without the Bills - but it will be one miserable place.

     

    Brown Says Buffalo Can Survive Without Bills 

    Link

    Apr 10, 2006 - The Mayor of Buffalo is now weighing in on the future of the Buffalo Bills. This comes one day after Bills owner Ralph Wilson said he can't guarantee the team will stay in Western New York.

     

    Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown says he will offer his assistance to the Bills anyway he can. Brown does not want to see the team go, but did say Buffalo would survive if the team picked up and left. Wilson believes the new NFL collective bargaining agreement will hamper small market teams and jeopardizes the long term viability of the Bills in Western New York.

     

    Brown has a vision for a new downtown stadium, but wouldn't elaborate if that would come to life soon or help the Bills stay in the area.

    What more can he say than what I highlighted in bold. He is the mayor of a city that is under control board rule. What exactly is it that you want him to do?

  4. I was wondering if anyone was commenting on Bonds over here and just read this entire fuggin thread, (wtf am I doing) anyway how did I miss this?  This was BF's last stand no?

    It was pretty much the end of BF posting here. What a way to go out! <_<

  5. When you review our drafts from 1999 to present day, it's alarming to realize what our success ratio is. The players that are still on the current roster is mostly back-ups. Donahoe may have been a wheeler and dealer come draft day but he didn't have the greatest eye for selecting quality starters. I only count six, that's right SIX!, players that have been true starters for us up to this point. That's in SEVEN drafts! Here's a look back at these drafts.

     

    1999-9 picks-0 players remaining from this draft. We had an additional 4th and 7th rd picks.

     

    2000-8 picks-0 players remaining, additional 7th rd pick.

     

    2001-12 picks-2 remaining players. 1st rd pick #21 overall CB Nate Clements and 2nd rd pick #46 DE Aaron Schobel. We had additional picks of 2nd rd, 3rd rd, two 6th rd, a 7th rd.

     

    2002-10 picks-4 remaining players. 2nd rd pick #36 WR Jake Reed, 2nd rd pick #61 DE Ryan Denney, 3rd rd pick #97 SS Coy Wire, and 6th rd pick #187 CB Kevin Thomas. We had additional pick in the 2nd rd and three in the 7th rd. We did not have a 4th rd pick in this draft.

     

    2003-8 picks-7 remaining players. 1st rd pick #23 RB Willis McGahee, 2nd rd pick #48 DE Chris Kelsay, 3rd rd pick #94 LB Angelo Crowell, 4th rd pick #111 CB Terrence McGee, 4th rd pick #127 WR Sam Aiken, 6th rd pick #187 DT Lauvele Sape and 7th rd pick #228 LB Mario Haggen. The only pick who is no longer on the roster is OG Ben Sobieski. The last time I heard he was on San Fran's practice squad. We had an additional 4th rd pick in this draft.

     

    2004-6 picks-6 remaining players. 1st rd pick #13 WR Lee Evans, 1st rd pick #22 QB JP Losman, 3rd rd pick #74 DT Tim Anderson, 4th rd pick #109 TE Tim Euhus, 7th rd pick #207 OT Dylan McFarland, and 7th rd pick #214 WR Jonathan Smith. We had an additional pick in the 1st rd and 7th rd. We also had no picks in the 2nd rd, 5th rd or in the 6th rd.

     

    2005-6 picks-6 remaining players. 2nd rd pick #55 WR Roscoe Parrish, 3rd rd pick #86 TE Kevin Everett, 4th rd pick #122 OL Raymond Preston, 5th rd pick #156 CB Eric King, 6th rd pick #197 OL Justin Geisinger, and 7th rd pick #236 RB Lionel Gates. We had no 1st rd pick in this draft due to us trading it to Dallas for JP Losman.

    How disturbing is this? This is where we need Marv & Co. to really make a difference. If they can do a better job of drafting players who not only will be starters but to also be able to hang on to them. I don't know what the current status of our scouts are but I do remember that Donahoe replaced alot, if not all, of our longstanding senior scouts. Scouts who were with us for years with a proven track record. Hopefully Marv went back and retained some of them. We do have a pretty good nucleus built right now. We have pretty good depth in some positions but what we are really lacking is STARTERS in some key positions. If Marv can utilize this draft with the quality of picks that we have with some frontline ready players, then we could possibly have not only a huge but also a rapid turn around in our upcoming season(s).

    I'm not sure if you are trying to place the blame for the 1999 & 2000 drafts on TD, but I'm pretty sure he didn't come aboard until 2001.

  6. How could The Bills possibly make more money in Toronto?

     

    656520[/snapback]

    Because you have hundreds of businesses in Toronto that could afford suites(unlike in Buffalo) no matter what the owner would charge and invidiuals who would pony up for inflated ticket prices and PSL's on top of that.

     

    This would assume that Toronto build a football stadium that holds more than the skydome.

  7. If the Bills ever leave WNY(and this includes a move to Toronto...screw them), I would lose my loyalty to them just like when the Braves left. If I had to pick a new team to declare my own, it would probably be Cleveland because of the close proximity to Buffalo.

     

    Regardless...I would still be a huge NFL fan.

  8. Not sure but I wish they would. Is nfl network srtickly on Directv or is it that other cable companies have picked up the channel and time warner hasnt jumped on board?

    Adelphia in Buffalo has it for now, but I believe we are going to be switched to Time Warner sometime this year.

  9. Gentlemen

     

    It seems that the form of my texts have suppressed the content. (If we can even make such a dichotomy - perhaps i have erred here gentlemen?) What appears to have captured the imagination of the proles is my explosion into this paradigm by way of an incendiary style. My syntax overwhelms interlocutors such as Mr. Tolstoy and Mr. Crap Throwing Monkey.

     

    Attention Mr. Tolstoy: you are looking for conjunctions where there are no conjunctions. There are only disjunctions within this text. Mr. Jauron's occupation was referenced the Fuehrer position alongside Levy qua Heidegger as a "vague sally of wit"...but i am demeaning myself by responding to your absurd deconstructions. If you are lost in my theoretical matrix so be it.

     

    Mr. Crap Throwing Monkey: Sir i am a trained hermeneut, and when you suggested a "means of interpretation" you annihilated your own f*cking proposition. I recommend you return to discussing Mr. Fewell's organic garden.

     

    Gentlemen, welcome to the Lacanian Real: this is the Real  of the king of field sports.

     

    Attention all charlatan Ultra hooligans: if you wish a shiv to be placed between your short ribs, i shall gladly oblige, and make your Sein-zu-Tod a more direct, lucid and upfront possibility.

     

    Again we implore: Let us return to the primoridality of Bills chat.

    I like how in the middle of all the "I'm smarter than you are" words, he throws in "f*cking". :):P
