  1. Kelly comes off like a complete douche. Imagine being a Ducks fan - 1st he's killing you because he's leaving, then you survive the night of the long knives and are relieved because he's staying - only to have him stab you in the back now at the 11th hour. Seems like a no-class egotist - in hindsight, glad he's not here.
  2. Downright Creepy... http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8846199/syracuse-orange-fired-staffer-roger-springfield-pleads-not-guilty-video-case
  3. True story: A few years ago there was a Buffalo ABA team called the Silverbacks that played at Buff State. I had gone to one game the year before and enjoyed it (although there are some weird rules, like 4 -point plays based on defensive domination, etc.) Anyway, there was maybe 250 people in the crowd. The following year they ran a commercial saying they were giving away 5 Xbox360s at a game just before Christmas. I called up a buddy of mine and said, "I don't know if you care about the ABA, but they're giving away xbox360s and based on the crowd size from last year, we'd have about a 1 in 50 shot of winning one." We went. Crowd size was what I estimated and I won the last xbox360 they gave away. I still have it (though it did have to get repaired from the red rings of death issue), but better yet I've got a great story to tell. (Also got Daryl Dawkin's autograph at that game - he was the coach of the opposition - he signed it "Chocolate Thunder.")
  4. I have the tunein app on my android. Just checked and there's a CBS Sports Radio 1270 station - currently playing the Doug Gottlieb Show. I assume that's it, hope that helps.
  5. No worries, but it does make the "Orange" citrus mascot pretty stupid now, don't you think?
  6. No. the name Orangemen refered to the Six Nations of the Iriquois Confederacy. http://www.college-basketball-tickets.net/syracuse_orangemen/history.htm Nicknamed Bill Orange, the original mascot, an Indian warrior, of the University got its name from Syracuse being the salt city and because Syracuse is the home of the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. Still located on the Quad, the statue of the Saltine Warrior, a gift of the class of 1951, was sculpted by Louise Harriet Meyers. The warrior stayed as the mascot until 1978 when American Indian students complained that the mascot was offensive. For a time, a Roman Gladiator served as the mascot and students even proposed the Abominable Orangeman, an orangutan and Egnaro the Troll as new mascots.
  7. I wouldn't object to the name being changed, but would not like to see a foolish change like what Syracuse did when they changed the name from "Orangemen" to simply, "Orange." Now they have an orange as a mascot - and as everyone knows, when you think oranges, you automatically think Central New York.'
  8. It won't correct until you wake up to read: Norwood splits the uprights, Bills cover kick to beat the Titans in Playoff opener, Hull admits foot was in crease, Sabres awarded 7th game to win Cup, Snyder bringing NBA franchise back to Buffalo, Neil Young and Steven Stills getting old band back together and dropping the Springfield from the title.
  9. Dehaven had the best quote ever about that play when he was asked if, in hindsight, he regretted not kicking it out of bounds. "I wish we'd of done just about anything other than what we did."
  10. Update. Non-denial denial? http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=413290
  11. I'm laying claim to the name Bralittwhixdorf to describe the entire Bills Front Office.
  12. The writers need to get at least 1 of them in to break the logjam.
  13. I really thought this guy would never get a shot. He seemed to be nothing more than a name that was always mentioned, but never someone that got interviewed. I hope he does a good job for the Bears. Can't imagine what would have happened here if Russ had hired him after his "World Class talent" speech.
  14. Limas Sweed a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Remember when many here wanted the Bills to draft him? Let's hope this year's batch of QBs is better than that years crops of WRs.http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=413220
  15. That's how he prefers to be referred as - he made that clear his rookie year.
  16. Nassib ranked 48 on CBS Sports Big Board (#4 QB) www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/prospectrankings
  17. Says the Jets will hire Dennis Thurman as DC.
  18. Are you ready for the return of Maybin?
  19. And third place is "You're fired!" Nice, GGGR reference.
  20. Just wondering: In most professions if you're the Asst. Mgr, you usually get promoted when your boss nmoves on. In the NFL, guys like Bobby April, Russ Grimm, etc. never seem to be able to move past the Asst. HC station. It seems like it's just an honarary title that carries no real weight come hiring time. Am I wrong? Can you think of any Asst. HC guys who got their own gig?
  21. LOL Never trust the "Free Anal"
