I could go with that too...I think Donahoe and Whaley get blasted a little too much by Bills fans. I only rank Donahoe a little over Whaley, because he didn't take as many gambles...but both guys were active, and aggressive. I really think TD had the Bills closer to being a legit playoff contender...he whiffed on Losman....not the first/only GM to not be able to find a QB.

Donahoe Whaley Nix Brandon Marv

My answer would be, have Dan wake up from a dream, realizing that Roseanne had actually passed away years ago, and now he is married to either Leah Remini or Wanda Sykes. Kind of a tribute to the awful ending of the original Roseanne series.

Gailey Marrone Mularkey Jauron Williams Rex Perosnally though, I think the Dick Jauron era of Bills football was the least enjoyable Bills football of all. I really hated him as a coach. Rex was the worst coach, but at least there was some entertainment value in watching them.

Not quite...the Braves moved to San Diego, and then simply swapped owners with the Celtics.

I know this is probably good news to some, but the way newspapers are now, don't be surprised if the Buffalo News sports page is made up of syndicated columnists. Your local coverage of the Bills and Sabres will pretty much be WGR.

I'm pulling for the Cavs...though I gotta say, my interest in the finals has been greatly diminished...had Boston or Houston made it, it might have been interesting.

Go Cavs!

The way it goes...if Hayward and Irving hadn't been hurt, some of these young guys might not have emerged. Their inexperience showed the last 2 games...but it will help them down the road.

I'm all in on the Celtics...but if LeBron makes it to the finals against the Warriors, I am pulling for the Cavs, most definitely.

I really hate the Bruins. They are the NHL equivalent of the Miami Dolphins, as they relate to the Bills.

Not to further shock you, but I was at that game!

Growing up in Buffalo, in the 70's, the Buffalo Braves were my favorite team in all of sports.More than the Bills, more than the Sabres... I hated the Celtics, because they always stood in the way of the Braves. My brother traded in his Celics fandom (he was 8 years older, and liked them during the tail-end of the Russull dynasty years), and we always pulled for the Braves. When the Braves left town, I was devastated. I played all sports growing up, but basketball was, by far, the one I had the most success...loved the game. My dad was, as an St Bonaventure alum, was all about Bonnies basketball...basketball was the family sport. I couldn't just quit the NBA cold turkey. I tried to be a San Diego Clippers fan, for one year..it was impossible. Virtually no NBA highlights on tv, and if you liked a west-coast team, on the east cost, you might have to wait 2 days to read a box score in the paper... I was spinning my wheels, loving basketball, but no team to root for...games of any kind were hard to find on tv, other then edited playoff games that were shown after the 11pmm news, on tape delay. For some reason, I always hated the Knicks. It kinda sucked. But then, in 1980, my family got cable television. We got the Boston "super-station ", which showed all the Celtics games. It just happened to be the beginnning of the Larry Bird-era. Though I despised them as a a kid (Tom Heinson, Havelechek, Jo Jo White, Dave !@#$ing Cowens!), I suddenly had a team to follow...and they were great. My brother and I "re-located" our Braves loyalty to the Celtics. It has nothing to do with the city of Boston.. I hate all other teams from the area. The Celtics are, seriously, in my 53 years, the only team I have ever pulled for to win a championship. Four in my time as a fan, fingers crossed tor a 5th in the next year or two. I get **** from a lot of Buffalo people for liken g rooting for the Celtics, but I just love the franchise. They do it right. Had a rough patch aftger the Bird teams faded, thanks, in no small part to some really bad luck. But they have always beeen a smart franchise. Can't wait for game 7! GO CELTICS!!!

After seeing the way the Rockets handled the Warriors the last couple of games, I am starting to thing a Celtics/Rockets re-match in the finals could be very entertaining...the Rockets are beating the Warriors by playing classic Celtics basketball. If it did come down to Celtics/Rockets (how crazy would that be?), anything could happen. Rockets would likely still have the edge, as they may be a little more offensively balanced... but I loved seeing the Rockets win these last two. EDIT: Chris Paul out for game six...not good for the Rockets.

You may be right...but Jordans' trademark, as I remember (and as row_33 points out) was pedal to the metal night in, night out, at least in the playoffs. Not to say that he never had off nights where maybe his shooting percentage was off...but I just don't really ever remember him coasting in playoff game. I just heard on the radio this morning that LeBron took himself out of the game the other night... maybe it is just smart on his part, knowing that he doesn't have the energy to carry the team at that point, and he is just surrendering...save it for the next game. It was weird though, because very early in the 4th, there was a point where it almost felt like the Cavs were clawing their way back in, cut the lead to 12, and then just gave up. Boston wasn't playing particularly well at that point either. I suspect he plays great tonight, and we have a game 7 on Sunday.

I was really upset...for weeks.

The only time I actually, titty-baby cried over sports (where I wasn't playing in a game) was the day it was official that the the Braves were leaving Buffalo. I was really devastated. As the Bills were destroying the Raiders in the 1990 AFC Championship, it finally sunk in to me that we were about to "win" our first Super Bowl. There was a shot on tv of Jim Kelly throwing footballs into the stands of Rich Stadium...I got pretty choked up.

I am a LeBron James fan, but it is games like that (he "only scored a quiet 24") that should put to rest the case of him being better than Jordan. He is right up there, but he isn't Jordan. I just don't remember Jordan ever having "quiet" games like that in the playoffs, especially. I am really happy the Celtics won, mind you, but if LeBron had anything in him last night, all by himself, he should have been able to make that a closer game, early in the 4th. They had the lead cut down to 12, and the Celtics were shooting horribly, and being uncharacteristically sloppy with the ball...but Lebron was just going through the motions. At one point, he went from about mid-court to drive it to the basket for an easy basket, but seemed to lose interest the closer he got to the net. It was weird...missed the shot, and then just trotted up and down the court. I realize, he has every right to be tired, but you would think adrenaline would take over when the game was that close, and you know you are the best player on the court...as tremendous a player as he is (and I really think he is) he has had a game or two like this almost every playoff season...he wasn't terrible mind you, but he really wasn't putting himself out too much. Hope to god the Celtics win on Friday. A crucial road win would do them wonders...they are going to need a shot of road-earned confidence if they want to give Golden State or Houston a run for their money.

The last time I went to a game there was 2004, Saints beat the Chiefs. I had an absolute blast the whole weekend, and it was a great game...used to try to go every year or two for a game, back in the 90's and early 2000's. I suppose it has improved some since, but it was just always really run-down inside...just seem to remember endless areas in the concourses taped off, or "under construction"...for a "Superdome" it never felt very state of the art.

I haven't been there in a few years, and I know it is a legendary building, but I have never really liked the Louisiana Superdome...great city, great fans, but the place always seemed like a dump inside.

I have been a big fan too, since that first record came out...somehow though, via a series of calamities, I have missed her all the times she has been in town, over the years...once to a cancellation of the show, then being out of town when it was rescheduled....another time due to a death in the family, and then just last week, when the show was announced (at a really small club), it was announced as "sold out". I tried through Craiglist to buy a ticket, but they were just too much. She is coming back in the fall, at a bigger venue...can't wait. I've only seen her "live" on Austin City Limits. Agreed, definitely one of my favorite new artists over the last decade...love the new record too!

Very few touring things this summer I will be seeing...though I saw Emmylou Harris this past weekend (amazing) and the fall will include Courtney Barnett, Liz Phair and Paul McCartney...

Agreed! Just do yourself a favor, and don't wander over to PPP...

Sorry man, but you are !@#$ing insane...

PPP...where sanity goes to die...
