I have been around here since 1994 when I lived in Ohio. Changed my name when I moved to another state.
On Sep 11, 2001, I logged in here first thing in the morning and found out the news.
Lots of fun here, Belinda and all those folks.
I was in an old thread the other day, and came across the poster John From Riverside, who used to be John From Hemet. Sadly, John is no longer with us. But not forgotten.

He’s not on the wall.
That is a travesty!
Butch Byrd worked as a mechanic at Great Lakes Chrysler at Hertel and Delaware. My best friend’s dad was a salesman there.

In the playoff game, Don Shula’s final game, Thurman Thomas bowled over Fish DC Tom Olivadotti on the sidelines.
How is that for symbolism?
Same game where the Canadian Comet Tim Tindale scored a TD.

Lou put out some great songs. May he Rest In Peace.

Those are some very interesting numbers Ed. Makes you stop and think that maybe the expectations of a lot of us fans are out of wack at times.
Tell me why do a lot of people call Greg Rousseau Groot? What is that about?
There is a Marvel comics character called Groot.

Didn’t the Bills add a new assistant DL coach who specializes in the pass rush? This could help Solomon’s development as well.
I look forward to seeing his second season.

I’ve been a Bills fan since 1960 or so. Played pitch and catch in the street as Jack Kemp and Glenn Bass.
I have a Stew Barber autograph around here somewhere.

Listening to WKBW radio in the late ‘60’s was my introduction to top 40 radio. FM radio wasn’t a thing. I couldn’t do it justice explaining just how great a summertime experience listening to ‘KB was. If you listened then you know.
It was a premier powerhouse rock-n- roll station up and down the east coast.
Was anyone else a member of Joey Reynolds Royal Order of the Night People?
There was a purple membership card.

If we don’t sign him to a reasonable extension, Beane is going to tag him
With the tag, you would be paying him Barkley/D. Henry level money. That makes no sense.

Holy crap. I did not think “The Yardbirds” would be back on stage. Are there any original members left?
If no originals, it would seem like a tribute band, but with the blessing of whoever owns the name.
Great band, I’m sure it was a fun experience.
Edit - I looked it up. Original Jim McCarty is still with them. And a singer who has been with them for 30 years. I had no idea they were still working. Very cool. -

We're not your normal Classic Rock band. We play Million Miles Away by The Plimsouls, Drivers Seat by Sniff N The Tears, Turning Japanese by that band who's name I forget. We do everything from Bryan Adams and David Bowie to Depeche Mode and Talking Heads.
That’s a cool repertoire, out of the ordinary.
Are you guys CFNY fans from the 80s?

But what if it's a really cold game and your nose just won't stop running? Is actually wiping your nose still okay?
Just don’t wipe immediately after you make a catch or a tackle. Ask the referee for a Kleenex.

I hate that gesture. I think it is direct replacement for the old throat slash gesture.
I’m glad to see a stupid new rule to outlaw it.

Some NBA player, Jason, upon joining his new team, said: “We’re gonna turn this team around 360 degrees!”

It must have been 1972 when I saw a game with OJ Simpson and Joe Namath.

Looks like LB Nick Morrow got himself an SB ring. Nice break for him.

Rest In Peace, coach.

No. Absolutely no. I love football and I watch CFL, UFL, and college ball.
But this sort of "consolation" game does not work at all - a bronze medal or a bag of poop.

So much great music from these guys.
They started in 1957 in Toronto area.

No big boycott, but I plan to skip it this year.
I can’t watch Chiefs games, and I don’t like Philly.

One of the the worst songs I have ever heard. The Alanis irony of Starship singing about rock and roll being bedrock for San Fran with a weak ass song LOL
This song is now used in a toilet paper ad “We quilt this city” This is what happens when you sell the rights to your music. Ugly business.

Your Mount Rushmore for bands from Buffalo
in Off the Wall
Posted
There was a band called the Buffalo Beatles way back in 1965 or so.
Legally, they had to change their name, the became The Rogues.
The lead guitarist had a Gretsch Country Gentleman guitar and a Vox Super Beatle amplifier - just like George Harrison used. That was a real wow factor back then.
They were very talented. I don’t know who they were,but they were great.
