If you could change one rule in any sport...
ChevyVanMiller replied to SageAgainstTheMachine's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Gotta go with George Carlin on this one, the rule change should be that in baseball when the pitcher hits the batter with the ball - batter is out. -
''Rocketship 7'' newspaper article
ChevyVanMiller replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in Off the Wall Archives
Dave and Promo visited my grade school and they supplied orange pop (and pizza) for everyone. Must have been a major sponsor of the show. -
Who will win the Super Bowl first? Buffalo or Cleveland
ChevyVanMiller replied to major's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Bills, of course. Are we not fans of the red, white and blue or what? The Red Sox finally won a World Series and Lefty won a major so keep the faith. -
Yeah, I meant aussiew - thanks for the update.

Anyone watching The Following with Kevin Bacon?
ChevyVanMiller replied to ChevyVanMiller's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I think you're bang-on about the easy out for the writers. The FBI lead seems like a perfect example of someone they'll "flip" to further the plot. In fact, I think they foreshadowed it in an early episode when they had her slip him the Poe book in his cell. -
Some Nice Words From Coach Marrone
ChevyVanMiller replied to ChevyVanMiller's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's funny that there is a thread on the OTW section about a long-time poster that was driven away by the negativity of people on this site. Many posters said they would try harder to have more civil discourse. I posted this thread and many of you are bashing Marrone for flinging around hollow words. I understand everyone's frustration - we've all lived through terrible football and management that has stretched into over a decade of futility. That said, Marrone hasn't been a part of even one of those losses. I have no idea how he will do ultimately, but I am at lease heartened by the fact that he is in tune with the pain and anguish of the Bills' faithful. Glass half full or half empty? Your choice, but I'm standing with the half-full diehards. -
Our new leader speaking on what it's like to be from the cold of NY and why everyone should be proud to rock their Bills' gear. http://blogs.buffalonews.com/press-coverage/2013/03/doug-marrone-doesnt-want-bills-fans-to-feel-ashamed-anymore.html

On a side note - the first time the man's wife serviced him after the operation his penis high-fived her! -
New Stadium Already Being Discussed?
ChevyVanMiller replied to BRAWNDO's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Culinary Institute, Old Falls Street, Conference Center and Wine on 3rd are all jewels. A domed stadium could be used for far more than 8 dates per year. 7 years ago I formed and organization that grew into a 501C3 called Niagara Rises, Inc. Our volunteers work hard to do our part to change the outlook of the city. We put on the yearly Niagara Homecoming event - from which the popular Main St. Music and Art Festival took flight. We also sponsor a teen center at the NF Public Library that has seen many teens turn their lives around and achieve their goals of higher education. People can continue to dump on the city all they want, but if they take a good look around some nice things are beginning to happen. When it comes to urban renewal, patience is most certainly a virtue. I know, first hand, the obstacles facing Niagara Falls, but it hit rock bottom a decade ago and is slowing rising back up. -

As an American who works for the largest hotel in Canada I can tell you that Canadians flock, by the tens of thousands, each weekend to shop in American malls. Why? Because even though the US and Canadian dollars are near par, goods in Canada are 40% higher. Crossing the border is an immediate $40 savings on a $100 purchase, Also, the new culinary school is a gem. That, coupled with the casino and Seneca hotel is a nice start on a tourist section that has a lot of available land for a new stadium. Everyone thought Cleveland was a dump before they developed the waterfront with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Same with Baltimore with the Inner-Harbor. All it takes is a little vision. If you want to solidify the Bills in WNY long-term, the Falls is the best choice for a myriad of reasons. -
While we're on the subject of lost posters, what has happened to the ladies of TSW - Cablelady and Aussie, in particular? God knows the place needs the class of a woman's wisdom every now and again.

I know music is completely subjective and one man's harmony is another man's train wreck, but I also know that there are many of you here that feel that most of today's music can't compare with the tunes you grew up with in the 60s, 70s and 80s. My girlfriend turned me on to the Avetts last year and I quickly became a huge fan. Saw them live last year and have tickets for the Artpark show in May. The were raised on bluegrass and have blended it with rock to form a very unique hybrid. Scott and Seth harmonize the way only two musically-blessed siblings can. They are great lyric writers and the crowds at their shows are an eclectic and intelligent lot. This is one of my favorites called 10,000 Words. I hope you like it as much as I do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugkLFwqslp8

Welcome back, AJ. Civility has all but dissipated from the general discourse, but as fans that follow the team representing the greatest city on Earth we should adhere to a higher standard and not allow it to happen here. Illegitimi non carborundum

Large font ≠ Caps. Anyway, sorry I was on my work computer and didn't realize the font was so large. -
Rich Gosselin of the Dalls Morning News tweeted that over the first 4 days of free agency teams spent over $700 million on the top 25 guys signed, with nearly $300 mil being guaranteed. Here's the kicker, the combined Pro Bowl appearences of those 25 players.....6! So, it stands to reason that a lot of teams (see: Miami) overpaid for a bunch of mediocre talent. I bet when it's all said and done, the Bills will get a lot of bang for their buck by being patient.

Niagara Falls is the logical choice - lots of cheap land available, next to a world-famous attraction, no need to build more hotels as there are tens of thousands already available between NF, NY and ON. Closer proximity to the affluent Canadian market. The only real concern (and it's not a small one) is the G.I. Bridges. If an accident occured on one it would delay much of the crowd in arriving in time for the game. -
Amazing Spider-Man 2 to shoot in Rochester, N.Y.
ChevyVanMiller replied to Meathead's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Very cool. Maybe Darryl Talley could get a cameo. -
Please try to exercise a little patience. There are way too many holes on this team for them not to fill many with FAs. The plan must be to let the initial frenzy die down then fill the roster with bargain signings. I'm not going to judge it until the FA period is fully over.

Free Agency and Porn
ChevyVanMiller replied to Ed_Formerly_of_Roch's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I thought this was going to be a thread about the art of surfing and watching online porn while waiting for your team to sign a FA - not that I'd know anything about such a practice.
