Are you old enough to remember the Sabres Jim Schoenfiled putting out a rock and roll record? He did all covers...a bunch of Beatles songs...Hey Bulldog was one of them....can't find it on Youtube, but just to give you an idea:

I love "Yellow Submarine", but in truth, at 53, I could live the rest of my life and never hear it again..I'd be okay with that.

I love all of them, but I went with "Beatles For Sale". I could have gone with "Help". I love those records because they are half-way between the jangly-pop of the early records, and the more experimental, sophisticated sounds that were to come. There is a kind of dark undertone to them...I always love that friction in music. "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" is one of my favorite Bealtes songs...one that many people forget about. Pop--melancholy... of course, growing up with the American versions of the Beatles albums, it would be "Beatles '65", "Beatles VI" and "Help!" that represent my favorite period of Beatles music. But, love all the other periods too!

Is your Dad the reason you’re a Bills fan?
Buftex replied to Another Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
In an indirect way, yes. My dad and I didn't get along great when I was a kid...and he always pretty much hated the Bills. Perhaps, as a form of rebellion, my brother and I loved them. My dad was one of those who always said "Ralph Wilson is a carpet-bagger", "OJ is a bum"... the more he hated them, the more we liked them. My dad was a police officer, and knew a lot of unsavory things about some Bills players. To his credit, he never told us a lot of the stories, until we were much older. He was hardly shocked that OJ would be accused of spousal abuse, or murder. He was never much of a huge footballl fan, college basketball was his favorite sport. My brother (8 years older than me) remembers that he was a Packers fan in the 60s...but never the Bills. He changed his tune a little, during the 90's Super Bowl era, because most of his VFW buddies were Bills fans, and they got sick of here him dog them...he wanted to be one of the gang. And, they were winning. The fact that his old buddy Ted Marciaborda (they were college friends at St Bonaventure) was hired by Marv Levy pleased him too. Dad really liked Marv a lot. In some ways, my father reminds me a little of Marv. My dad passed away a about 4 years ago. We got along great when he got older. He mellowed out a little. The last fathers day that he was around, I got him a Ted Marciabroda ""rookie" card. It was autographed....Chicago Cardinals! -
Sad day. Tim Graham out at Buffalo News

The trend is more syndicated content. -
What does the phrase "The Good Old Days" mean to you?
Buftex replied to BillsPride12's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Pretty much anything before November 2016. -
I find it more depressing than funny, but I know what you mean.

I hope the kid works out. The way his critics bash him, you would think he was a total off the field jerk or something. I was listening to a Fantasy Football podcast, and Adam Rank (from NFL Network) was really criticizing Allen too. It seemed kind of over the top. He said "Josh Allen is the second coming of Donovan McNabb". He meant it as an insult. I was thought to myself, if he is the second coming of Donovan McNabb, than he won't be the bust that so many of these jagoffs are predicting.

Anyone collect old Bills highlight/yearbook videos? Trade?
Buftex replied to Buftex's topic in Bills Tickets and Gear
Figured I'd give it another try. -

Somebody has to do it...the site has already reached its quota of hypocritical !@#$s. -

But your completely full of **** on this topic. So why would I listen to you? If you just came out and said, "we are all hypocrites" your arguments would have more credibility. -

Buftex replied to Teddy KGB's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
So funny how things like this are cut and dry, yet conservatives (trumpers) will defend a president who says ****ty things on a daily basis, saying "don't pay attention to what he says, pay attention to what he is doing". Apparently, you can have it both ways. -

Buftex replied to Teddy KGB's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I wasn't defending Sam B, just explaining the difference in her comment, and what Roseanne said. One was making a political point, the other just making an ignorant joke. The offense in B's comment came from the word she used, not the point she was making. -

Uh, yes. But, I wouldn't expect you to see the difference. -

Buftex replied to Teddy KGB's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I would only argue, as crude or as classless as Bees language may have been, she was making a relevant point, which you can agree or disagree with. The presidents daughter is a prominent figure in his administration, and has proven to be continually ineffective at adding a voice to the administration, which is very evident that her father continually talks, and tries to implement policies that are in direct opposition to her supposed positions. (But, hell, he even does that to himself!) So, to say she is "feckless" for the point she was making, is appropriate. It would have been better to leave out the "c" word... Roseanne was just making a racist comment, which has no merit at all. You know (I hope) that the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes did not have a baby...she was trying to imply that Valerie Jarrett was the offspring of terrorist and apes. She should have been condemned for that ignorance. -

Someone should remind the president of that. It is his distraction/talking point for this week, and football isn't even in season right now. -

I knew you would say that. Samantha Bee represents me, no more than Ted Nugent represents you. When did I defend Samantha Bee? You are confusing me with someone else. Your doing exactly what you are accusing me of doing, and you are wrong. -

Buftex replied to Teddy KGB's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Your the perfect example of everything I am talking about. A smart person who has completely excepted trolling as a political way of life. Samantha Bee calling Ivanka Trump a feckless c*nt..somebody called the Trump boys morons. Do you really want to contend that no more outrageous things have been said about liberals from the people who apparently represent you? Ted Nugent? Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, any handful of Republicans who have been busted for sending around emails suggesting that Michelle Obama is a gorilla. Hillary Clinton runs a pedophile ring out of a pizzeria... Your hypocrisy strips your arguments of any dignity. And your so gleeful to sell yourself out. It is really disheartening. Maybe you are right...Trump runs away with the 2020 election because liberals are a bunch of emotional pansies...is that anything hang your hat on? No need to answer, the evidence is everywhere on the PPP board. You can't raise the bar, so lower it... -

The great American troll president has his army...great legacy. WWII, the Civil War were noble pursuits..you (and an alarming number here) sell your souls for this rotten excuse of a human being. And for what? You can't carry on about incompetent, crooked and corrupt Democrats, and turn around and support this president, and maintain any credibility. But you do it anyways, and its is disgusting. The pains so many go through to pretend they don't approve of the man (you know who you are) but praise his ham-fisted policies is shameful. It is difficult not to draw ugly conclusions about the character of his supporters. The saddest thing is, though, this pig doesn't love this country...he's in it for himself, and always has been. -

I'll buy that. My memory for all of the specifics of the early 2000's isn't as clear as it should be for this...I liked Whaley and TD. Though I like both guys, the Marv Levy and Russ Brandon reign is what really set the franchise back, in my opinion. They were a terrible duo for the GM role, or whatever it was that they were doing.
