I thought 26cb might have been Rosen's agent. Certainly had the same disdainful attitude for the 'great unwashed' on TBD-TSW, who couldn't see Rosen's QB superiority. 🤔

Difficult to pick just one... Macbeth. Rent. A Streetcar Named Desire.

Was the attitude around One Bills Drive for years.

I was under the impression a morning edition of the BN was only started after the Courier folded.

I was referring to the call centre. That's probably how they get paid for subscribing people to print journalism.

Of course they're closed for the day. They're out at Mickey D's, getting Happy Meals on your $26. 😁

NERW has always been a valuable resource on the web for news from broadcast media.

I was just miming to Men Without Hats' 'Safety Dance', and I think I blew out my rotator cuff. 🙁 *

Third tree to the right... And remember, you can't buy beer, you can only rent it.

Showered the singer you love with strombolis? 🤔

There wasn't a bigger booster of high school sports than the Courier Express. Full box and line scores for just about every fall, winter, and spring sport. The only time I ever got my name in the sports section of a Buffalo newspaper. Don't ask me about 'police blotter' or 'crime and courts'. 🫣 "I am now in Sing Sing."

Once they became the Buffalo News and started a morning edition after the Courier's demise, I recall seeing: Southern Tier Sunrise Sunrise Metro Final As stated upthread, I can recall a local Canadian distributor who would make three trips daily, to supply local stores and the vending boxes where summer residents would faithfully 'stake out' the box, waiting for the next edition. Thirty five cents back in the 80s. My dad was one of them. My mother would alternately grouse about his need for three editions, or quietly assert "thank the heavens he's gone for the paper!" 😁

When the Viewpoints section went from a full section down to a page of pablum, and Dr. Gerry Rising's local science column got the boot, it was the end for me. I believe that was around 2015. The digital version reporting on a helicopter from the 'Canadian Royale Air Force' making an emergency landing in Niagara County had me giving up on whatever crew of journalist interns they were abusing. The digital [BN] had one saving grace - the Disqus comment platform, where you could truly lambaste the incompetence of the product.

Well, Buffalo Bills fans tried to help out Brady...didn't quite work out, though. 🙁

For years, the Buffalo News would send out to convenience stores on Thursdays the following Sunday's ads and feature sections. More than once I ended up 'fortune telling' to kids and coworkers, since I had the future edition. Some of the help at the convenience stores didn't realize the extra material needed to be held back until the following Sunday; they just stuck it into the Thursday edition.

At 81 years old, he's fine with standard Beach Boys numbers, but don't throw anything too technical at him.

And getting a healthy discount from his local Subway franchise!

Neigh...I mean 'nay'. Is that an Elway diss?! 🤨 * 😁

Today's lesson will begin after the proper protocol observances:

Should have consulted Orton. 🤨

So the story 'Buffalo Bound Newspapers Stuck in Snowdrifts on the I-90 in Chautauqua County' really will be stuck in Chautauqua County? 🤔 Quite the change from the era where multiple editions were printed locally throughout the day. Here in greater Fort Erie, there even was a time the local distributor would bring the Sunrise, Metro, and Final editions to the coin boxes.

You do realize this thread title will give rise to any of a number of professions offering explanations...🤔 * 'Lawyers cite excess on field litigation from short passes as the reason for going long'. * 'Chiropodists say fancy footwork too often causes receiver foot distress. Send those boys long!' * 'Golden Corral Buffet managers like hungry clients! Make sure your OC dials up 'the bomb' early and often, and we'll cater to your hungry players post game!'

'Lamar Jackson wants guarantees that exceed Watson contract' * (It must be 'pick on Haslam day')

So, how much time is going to be devoted to the pleasant social intercourse that we call the TBD forums?

Rex and Rob will probably resurface with a Florida team. No beating those 'Early Bird' meal specials. 😁
