  1. Person behind that iconic sign finally revealed. What's interesting is in the game pics from 1987, no one in the crowd is wearing a jersey. When I think back to going to games in those days I always imagine fans wearing Kelly, Bruce or Andre jerseys, but I guess that really didn't start until the '90s. http://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/columnist/roth/2014/08/29/jim-kelly-banner-buffalo-bills-leo-roth/14806639/
  2. Guy was on his 6th team with the Bills - I can't imagine he's still PS eligible.
  3. I'm generally in the camp of, "always tip and overtip when you're a regular." The one exception is places that take an entitled stance to tipping. for instance, there is an iconic sub shop in NF (Falls residents will know the one I'm talking about) where they have a tip jar with a sign that says, "Tipping is not a city in China." I never tip them a penny.
  4. I agree with all of the OPs points. Also, I know a lot of people think that marrone and Co will stick with EJ for the full year, but I believe if the first few weeks go badly, they will bring in a veteran QB and make a change. With a new owner on the horizon, they don't have the liberty of another losing season.
  5. I felt the same way when I was there for the Tampa game. Isn't a simple solution to keep the ads, but have replays go full-screen?
  6. I think Joe B works hard for his info, but when he comes on WGR I can't switch the station fast enough. He struggles constantly to find the right words and usually fails miserably. He is the king of the malapropism and if I hear him start one more sentence with the phrase, "By no means," I'm going to scream. When you listen to someone like John Murphy on the radio (or, to a lesser degree Howard Simon or Jeremy White) it is apparent that a guy like Joe B is in way over his head in front of the microphone. (As I type this Carpaccio just said, "Chomping at the bit," sheesh, it's "Champing at the bit," Sal.)
  7. Great breakdown of a complex issue - thanks!
  8. You mean the same NFL that is now asking potential SB halftime acts to pay to play? I don't think there's a snowballs chance in h-e- double hockey sticks of that ever happening.
  9. Worst 2nd Rd pick since James Hardy. Hope he can turn it around, but he sure looks like a Jane Russell-sized bust.
  10. Wow, I am so bummed. He was a great actor and I always thought he was a tortured soul that found escape in comedy. RIP
  11. You know things are bad when a guy named "dirtbag" is embarassed by the boorish behavior of fans in his section.
  12. It seemed like he didn't know he was live and thought he could do a re-take or something. ESPN may look elsewhere the next time Bob Ley is out.
  13. The clear starter at RB is Anthony Grey. He led the entire NFL in rushing in the 1999 pre-season then got cut for his efforts. The reason may have been the guys ahead of him on the depth chart: Thurman Thomas, Sam Gash, Antowain Smith and Jonathan Linton.
  14. What about "Boyhood?" is it not released yet. Seems like another masterpiece from Richard Linklater. In this one he got the full cast together for 37 days per year for 12 consecutive years. His protagonist literally ages from 6 to 18 on the screen before your eyes.
  15. Aside from the sub host flubbing the opening. it was a great piece. Between Andre's speech and the OTL lines piece I've cried more tears in two days than I have in the last decade.
  16. What a great thread. Now, I really wish the Bills had drafted him, just for the post-pick presser: Media member - Coach Marrone, what can you tell us about this LB Morris you took in the 4th Rd? Marrone - It's kind of a funny story really. He was completely off of our radar, we didn't scout him at all, but then we got this gushing email from a fan that was so compelling we were afraid to pass on the kid and look foolish when someone like the Patriots grabbed him and we'd have to watch him turn into a perennial all-pro right before our eyes.
  17. Unreal 41-hit rally.
  18. No, I never got the email and was going to call them tomorrow if the envelope hadn't come. I'm guessing the cards must have been pre-ordered and all new season ticket sales won't get them until next year. (Just left a message for my rep. I'll let you know what I find out)
  19. I bought season tickets in early June, paid in full at the time. Just got my envelope and opened it to find...hard copy tickets for each game, all with the same generic ticket with a Bills' helmet on the front. Not sure whether I'm bummed or relieved not to get the cards.
  20. Does anyone know when the season tickets are sent out?
  21. So glad to hear that she is okay. Best wishes, my friend and thanks to the angel that was looking out for her.
  22. Just bought a pair, lower endzone. Thanks for the heads-up.
  23. Was it not disclosed that there is a clause in the current lease that prohibits an owner from even discussing a move or new stadium with another city? To do so would cause a violation that would be the catalyst to a long, protracted lawsuit. If that is indeed true, how can anyone buy the team now who would make their intent known of moving the team when the lease expires?
  24. Not with Marcus Easley locking down his yearly spot.
