Playoffs? What's this playoffs you speak of? Seems like another lifetime when the Bills last made the playoffs, doesn't it? Hell, you were still living in the Falls.

Marv Levy?????????????????????????

Not disagreeing with your point, but I could never understand why Ralph, or any owner ftm, would go cheap on the coach. He just paid $5 mil a year on a kid, Maybin, that may or may not be a bonafide NFL player. Why not drop that $25 mil for 5 years on Cowher? If I was an owner, in any pro sport, the first thing I would do is shell out for the best head coach available.

Thanks for posting guys. As I was watching last night's ceremonies I couldn't help but get emotional a few times. Those SB teams were ones that I tryly loved - I hope that another Bills' team will effect me the same way one day.

Good Stuff - thanks!!!

I understand the slow pace with Maybin, because of salary slotting, but where are Wood and Byrd? We need Wood in camp to gel the line and Byrd is changing positions so he needs to not miss any time. Just frustrated with the slow pace of the signings.

Don't mean to sound prissy but it's Niagara, not spelled like Viagra. It's my hometown and I defend it zealously.

Avenger, Quick question. What's the status of the collapsed hive crisis? Just watched a 2006 special where they were speculating that it might kill off 3/4's of all US crops. Is it still a major problem?

Minnasota Fats woulda been proud! Hole-In-One The Red Beamer he won isn't too shabby either!

I had the great pleasure of meeting Matt's wife last summer. I booked her Niagara Falls touring schedule. IIRC, she went to Geneseo and met Matt when he was at Ohio State. She had great love of WNY, so this could play in the Bills' favor.

Just a reminder that Thursday kicks off the Niagara and Buffalo Homecoming Events. Citybration Listings of Events Two columns from the Homecoming issue of the Reporter: http://www.niagarafallsreporter.com/cover6.23.09.html and http://www.niagarafallsreporter.com/column415.html Hope to see many of you in both cities this weekend. Come on up for the rising!

Harrison was very fond of the Ukulele. At parties he would break out a slew of them and people like Clapton. McCartney and David Gilmore would sit around a do number after number. What I wouldn't give to be invited to a party like that.

I lived in Syracure then Albany for many years before moving back. I'm fortunate to work in tourism in Niagara Falls and make a great living. Your question is a perfect lead-in to the upcoming Buffalo and Niagara Homecoming Events.Homecoming They are designed to celebrate all that the two cities have to offer and help former residents find jobs/homes if they are considering moving back. All sorts of free or low-cost events. Hopefully, all locals will come out and celebrate WNY and some of you ex-patriates will come home for the festivities.

Heard the replay on Stern this morning. Artie killed. His best line came on the aftershow: Artie showed some trick on how to light a cigarette without getting smoke all over Buck: It looks like you lit that with your fourth chin Lange: Yeah, four. As in the number show you'll never see.

My wife runs a Niagara Falls Tourism web site. Here's the link: Niagara Falls Information She has a contract with Hotels.com for all local hotels in Buffalo or Niagara Falls. Also, if anyone is coming home and wants to take a tour of the Falls, PM me and I'll get you a 15% discount on any of the tours on her site.

Great montage, Senator. Thanks, indeed!

Glad I could help bring back some good memories. My thoughts go out to your Gram.

Hard to believe it's been 20 years. I just wrote a column about some of the history. Crystal Beach Memories I'd love to hear some of your favorite memories of a park like no other.

Here's a link suggesting that the sex in "Don't Look Now" was indeed real: Linky

I read the piece and my feeling is that they've lost a serious chunk of marketing dollars that T.O. generates.

Don't forget one of the greatest pitchers of all-time, Niagara Falls' own Sal Maglie

Add me to the list of 70s kids who had Randy Smith as their favorite NBA player. R.I.P.

I'm pretty sure that Sutherland and Christie were a real life couple and the reason that scene is so good is that they really went at it and just told the cameramen to film it with a bit of discretion. I'd look up a link for you, but I'm in a bit of a rush.

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper Fleetwood Mac - Tusk Pink Floyd - The Wall Led Zepplin - Zepplin IV (Just couldn't believe that the thread was this long and no one else had been a smart ass ) Seriously though, how about: Bob Dylan - Infidels and Lyle Lovett and his Large Band

The 4th of July weekend is a no-go for any event. All the hotels are completely booked and charging outrageous prices and all of the attractions are so full of tourists that they won't do anything for returning natives.
