I think the harborcenter would be bombed if that ever happened.

Maybe we will get the rotational thing from 2014 going on the line. Not a bad idea considering Kyle's age.

Just out of curiosity, I've been looking into the retail history of the region, possibly to get a story together for the news.
A big one I have been focusing on is Ames Department store, which folded in 2002. The reason I seem to be drawn to it is the fact that I recall shopping there at a very early age with my grandmother. I also work at a store that stands where an Ames was.
Anyone remember anything about this place?

you know that Belichek is frying Gase with lightning in some locker room somewhere while this picture is being taken.

Never was much of a Motorhead guy. Lemmy's voice always put me off for some reason. I like Ace of Spades and Knife though.

For all the fuss we are making we better actually draft him
Also kudos to stuvian- "Mahomer" is awesome

this is a gem.

St. Joe is a good fall back school when you can't get into your first choice school. There is no shame not getting into the more exclusive and challenging school. Obviously, since your school is not so rigorous you have plenty of free time for gallivanting around the area. If Chad Kelly can successfully meet the academic and behavior standards at your lenient school then you know your standards are closer to the floor than the ceiling!
Seriously, you did do an excellent job. If I didn't know who the author was I would have thought it was done by a professional reporter who not only is a good writer but also has a good eye and feel for the story.

Few more extra pictures for your viewing pleasure
Creepy ass doll thing.
Got to the observation deck as well.
Former Laux Sporting Goods store.
Me.Well written piece. Your description gives a sense how downtrodden the area is and also the promise of it. Outsiders don't realize that there is a resilient and lively community surrounded by worn out buildings. I'm hoping that the proposed development of the train station facility and the selection of it for a train station gives a boost to that area.
As a former Canisius Crusader I have to give you the credit you deserve on this project. Well done!
Wow, my piece must have been pretty good if a daisy is giving me credit

It would be great to have a 1-2 punch of Hughes and Lawson, with Kyle/Adolphus-Dareus busting right up the middle.

Thanks for the kind words! I really enjoyed the trip and writing the piece.

I have written as a neXt correspondent for the Buffalo news for 4 years now. This might be my best work!
Background- about two months ago I went for a photography trip by myself down Broadway to the former St. Anne's church. It inspired me to write this little piece. All pictures are by me (the actual paper had eight pictures, the website only has three).
Featured on the next section cover today, maybe some of you saw it.
Hope you guys enjoy.

Watching the Final Sacrifice now. Might be their penultimate episode.
Rowsdower!

You can also watch full episodes on Youtube
The new season on Netflix will be released on April 14.
And they also just released a trailer:
Wow, who did they get for Crow? Sounds just like Trace did.

Rex coaching for his job and TT playing for his job both look credible to me.
weren't those both blatantly obvious though?

March 22, 2017 NFL
Dear Fans,
Here at the NFL, we have a relentless drive to improveparticularly when it comes to the way fans experience our game.
In order to understand how we might deliver a better and more exciting entertainment experience for you, we embarked on a specific project before the start of the 2016 season to gather feedback about the in-stadium and live NFL game viewing experience.
Consistently, we heard from fans that we can improve in two key areas: the flow and pace of the game, and commercialization and the number of unnecessary disruptions to the game on the field.
Today, I want to tell you about some of the ways we are working to address that.
On the football side, there are a number of changes we are making to the mechanics and rules of the game to maintain excitement and also improve the consistency of our officiating.
For example, next week clubs will vote on a change to centralize replay reviews. Instead of a fixed sideline monitor, we will bring a tablet to the Referee who can review the play in consultation with our officiating headquarters in New York, which has the final decision. This should improve consistency and accuracy of decisions and help speed up the process.
Regarding game timing, we're going to institute a play clock following the extra point when television does not take a break, and we're considering instituting a play clock after a touchdown. We're also going to standardize the starting of the clock after a runner goes out-of-bounds, and standardize halftime lengths in all games, so we return to the action as quickly as possible. Those are just a few of the elements we are working on to improve the pace of our game.
Together with our broadcast partners, we will be working to meaningfully reduce down time and the frequency of commercial breaks in our game. We will also be giving our broadcast partners increased flexibility to avoid untimely breaks in the action. For example, we know how annoying it is when we come back from a commercial break, kick off, and then cut to a commercial again. I hate that too. Our goal is to eliminate it.
We also know that you feel there are too many elements in the broadcast that aren't relevant to the play on the field. With our partners, we will be looking to instead focus on content that is most complementary and compelling to youwhether that is analysis, highlights or stories about our players.
All of these changes are meant to give you more of what you want: a competitive game with fewer interruptions and distractions from the action.
There is much more work to do in the coming seasons as we continue to listen and learn. But these positive changes are intended to create a better experience for you, our fans.
We hope that you will continue to give us feedback on how we can improve.
Thank you for all that you do for our players, our teams and our game.
Roger Goodell
This will be great if he's actually trying to get rid of extra commercials. A lot of this is just damage control for the tanking ratings, but I think it will help clearing commercials and fixing the refereeing issues. I especially like the tablet idea with a link to central command.

I Accuse My Parents is a great MST3K. The songs in that movie...LOL. Also love the short before that, "Truck Farmer".
Neptune Men is a tough one to sit through.
Joel was definitely a little darker with his riffing. Lots of "edgy" jokes!

I would add the Untouchables to my top five list if Kevin Costner made more than one facial expression playing Elliot Ness. Robert De Nero was excellent as Capone, and Sean Connery was awesome as usual.
Actually speaking of Connery, I would add Hunt for the Red October and Last Crusade to my list of honorable mentions. This is hard.
-
Almost every episode is at clubmst3k.com. Sometimes the production companies pull them (The Thing that Couldn't Die was pulled from a long time) but usually they are on YouTube.
Just finished I Accuse My Parents. Hilarious.
Invastion of the Neptune men is the worst movie I've ever seen. Very little entertainment value, even with M+TB's treatment. The only thing I remember is the aliens blowing up the Hitler Building (stock footage)

The discussion in the favorite movies thread inspired me to create this one.
For those unaware, Mystery Science Theatre 3000 was a cult classic show that ran from '89 to the late 1990s on Comedy Central, and, later, the Sci Fi channel.
It centered on a "guy named Joel" who has been trapped in space because "his bosses didn't like him." As part of their experiment, he is forced to watch terrible B-movies while his bosses monitor his brain.
To stay sane, Joel creates some robot friends, Tom Servo, Crow T. Robot, Gypsy and Cambot. Together, they riff on the terrible movies and keep their sanity. Joel was replaced with Mike Nelson halfway through, carrying the show for another 5 seasons.
Here's a sample of what might be the guys at their peak form:
I know we have a few MST3K fans here...do we have more?
What are your favorite episodes? You guys excited for the reboot?
Discuss!

Airplane!
Terminator (and Terminator II)
Robocop
The Magnificent 7 (Steve McQueen version)
Adventures of Robin Hood (with Errol Flynn)

No. You draft for long-term gain over short-term. You stick to your board and build a team with a consistent vision. Instead of taking crappy "day one contributors."
Shaq Lawson was a long term, especially with the shoulder.
Cardale was also long term.

Exactly. Patching holes on a sinking ship...
So what do we do, let it sink?
Anyone Remember Ames?

I never knew that the Rockys at the eastern hills mall used to be a Jenns. Looks like D and B sealed off the second floor when they moved in, so god knows what's left up there.
