  1. I thought about using it to go to Philly a few years back - it was 2.5 time the cost of a ticket on Southwest out of Providence. WRT to location, I like the Niagara Falls idea - IF they extend the Ontario Parkway to the Robert Moses Pkwy. That allows the Rochester folks a direct route. Otherwise, put it in Batavia hold training camp in Toronto.
  2. Bill, a google search on holdout "three years" left on contract and came up with a lot of threats to hold out. Though they had three years (Marshall Faulk and Plaxico Burress) left, but no one else has actually gone through with it except Mike McKenzie, and his agent quit when he did. Please correct me if I am wrong and sorry if you have in another thread. I think a new contract agreement should be done, but holding out isn't the way to get it done. It's the way to get traded.
  3. Here's a nitpick, since I know how much you like doing stylesheets... When I hover over the cruise ad in FF3, a red bar shows up at the bottom extending to the left margin. Very, very polished looking, otherwise.
  4. No, as he did not live up to the hype. We wanted the second coming of Kelly, and we got Drew. Good QB? Yes. Great QB? No. I think the guy that you can most accurately compare Bledsoe to is the guy that has played in the same era. Bledsoe doesn't come close to measuring up to Favre. His stats are more similar to Vinnie T's than Brett Favre's over the same period of performance. If you want to compare to Kelly, you have to look at Drew's average 230 ypg passing vs. Kelly's 254 ypg, (which is highest of any current HOFer).
  5. After Farve, I don't see anyone before Manning. 1990s QB's simply weren't rich in HOFers the way the 1980s QBs were..
  6. Scott, have you seen this site? Preview TBD in multiple OS's and browsers
  7. I'm pretty sure he has a few other contracts he has previously fulfilled. That $300M contract expires next year and he just signed a $400M contract. Throw in a few good investments and he likely could do it.
  8. Is there a widget out there to rate the links if you are logged in on this side? I am thinking of the amazon type thing where XX number thought this review was useful.... That would be a little innovative, and would help to id which articles to read if you don't have time to read them all. That way the better articles would get more traffic. For example, I haven't read a Jerry Sullivan article in a very long time. However, he gets credit for the hit because I am not sure which Monday morning link is his from TBD. Chuck Pollock is probably my favorite writer covering the Bills, but unless you read TSW (i.e. most of the people the go to TBD), you might not know the Olean paper has a better sports page than the News. Personally, I have never used the search on TBD, so maybe I don't have the right perspective. But, why not drop the search into the red menu area?
  9. That's Marxism, plain and simple, and the assertion that the estate tax remedies this "problem" of aristocracy is not true. How come the Washingtons and Hancocks didn't survive and repeat into the 20th century? How come we have multiple generations of Bushes and Kennedys elected to office? The Waltons are still some of the richest in the world. If Mr. Buffett is worried about an aristocracy, he should lead by example and hand over 60 of 62 billion dollars to the government.
  10. There's a guy on the radio in Boston defines super-rich pretty well, as someone who makes more than $10k/year than you.
  11. I think you'll see it if you delete your cache.
  12. BTW, when I saw he was only 4 my first thought was definitely do the surgery. However, I expect a dog to make it to at least 12, and that probably isn't realistic for Rosco's breed. This That was why I suggested the Bulldog message board for advice.
  13. The way I looked at it, in the past, was, how much longer was he going to live? Looks like the life expectancy is only ~8 years, and a significant portion of that will be rehab. It's up to you though to determine what is best for him, not what is best for you. If you bought it from a breeder, you might ask their recommendation. Or try the message boards on BulldogsWorld.com. I once couldn't bring myself to put an animal down. I don't have many bigger regrets than my cowardice in prolonging the agony he went through. I don't envy your situation.
  14. Second game in the 1980 regular season. They beat the Jets that day. Here are the three memories that stuck best with that 10 year old: Wow, that field was green. Why was one of the goal posts crooked? The Jets scored early, and we came back...
  15. Looks great from the TBD side...
  16. So, ya didn't notice the closed thread about 5 lines down?
  17. Medicine would be fine if the insurance/litigation industries hadn't corrupted it. Insurance and law are about the sleaziest industries out there.
  18. 27! I'm not liking the 7's question, either...
  19. Once I realized she was thinking suicide, I was actually looking forward to his wife getting sucked out. Never liked her.
