    The State of Pre Game and Post Game shows...

    Literally one guy was complaining that he wanted to poke his eyeballs out because he "had" to watch this game between these two offenses (Bill's Titans). Maybe you're in the wrong line of work then dude. You said it right, amateur hour.

    I honestly don't know where the quality control or management is with this station. The morning show is awful and in the afternoon, Bulldog is as lazy as they come. Fine I guess. They have no competition and they obviously don't care. 

     

    However, to be on the Bills radio network, and put such a lame effort into it is appalling. I love Greg Papa, so I listen to the 49'ers broadcast online. That pregame is informative , intelligent, and seamless. I can't say the same for GR. Obviously. 

     

    Where is PSE in all this? How can they allow such a negligent product to represent them? I'd be outraged and demand changes. Maybe they don't know or maybe they don't give a s***. Obviously GR doesn't.

    The local pregame show before Murph and Wood come on WGR has become one of the worst things I've ever listened to. Not sure what they were thinking there. It used to be my refuge from the national junk, so now I got nothin.

    It's like another amateur hour weekend show. I caught it driving last week. GR is so bad now. If this is the future, I weep for all of us.

    ***** neighbor rants

    in Off the Wall Archives

    Posted

    I've dealt with it all. White trash, couples who always fought, and the guy using his front lawn as a storage facility. 

     

    I'm lucky now. I live in a somewhat hidden neighborhood outside of Colden. Next door neighbor is a salt of the earth type who always has the right tool for whatever work I'm doing around the house. Super chill and his wife is too. Other neighbor is a single guy who keeps to himself. All the people in our court are friendly but mostly keep to themselves. It's nice to know that if anything went really wrong, I have people that will be there for help/advice. 

     

    Over the years, I had one neighbor that stood out in a lesson of not judging a book by its cover. 

     

    When my ex and I were first starting out, we lived in an apartment building on route 16 in Holland. 4 units. Upstairs was a trucker who was never home and a single mom who kept to herself. The downstairs back unit was empty for months. One day I came home and found a U-Haul and a few motorcycles in the driveway. Our new neighbor was a member of the Kingsmen or one of those gangs. This will be interesting I thought. 

     

    Nothing a note for a few weeks, then came a Friday night. My ex and little one were sleeping when the music and the partying got louder and louder. It woke up my ex and she asked me to go and ask them to turn it down. Oh boy. I knock on the door thinking that if got out of hand I would at least get two shots in before getting beaten to a pulp. To my surprise, he apologized and said they'd try to keep it down. They did for about an hour but then it went back up to its previous level. No matter. The ex slept through it and I didn't mind. At least they tried. 

     

    They turned out to be great neighbors. His old lady loved our little one and would always bring home little gifts for him. He was always up for a beer and I got to know some of his fellow members a bit. Great guys. 

     

    After about a year my ex and I started to get into our careers and we bought a small house. Right before we moved, I came home one night to find my neighbor and his buddy standing in front of my ex's car with the door open. Another guy was in between him. It turns out the guy was going through my ex's car trying to steal the CD player. This guy was bleeding from the mouth and had the beginnings on a massive shiner. My neighbor caught him in the act and administered some street justice. They told me they just called the cops and to get my shot in now if I liked lol. I told them they did a fine job and it wasn't necessary. The cops knew the kid and hauled him away amidst warnings from us never to return. I bought him a case of his favorite beer as a thank you. 

     

    It goes to show you don't ever know about people. It was a valuable lesson to learn and one I keep until this day.

    Bills at Giants Regular Season 1990 Highlights

    Turn the tables, in 2007 the Patriots beat the NY Giants in December.  The NYG went on to beat the Pats in the SB almost two months later.  Steve Spagnuolo and Tom Coughlin got a good look at the Pats dominant offense and saw how it and Brady could be defeated.

     

    Great point. However, in the case of the Bills and Rams, Belichick lost both those games and had to come up with a more effective way to slow them down. To your point though, the Giants, even though they got beat in week 17, had a good long look at how NE pass protected and concluded they might get to Brady with a four man rush. They were right.

    Classic live albums

     Grateful Dead - Spring 1990 So Glad You Made It. Silky, focused, inspirational latter day Dead in their last great year. 

     

    SRV- Austin City Limits. Both the 83 and 89 shows are paired but 89 has the controlled fire all his fans love. Nothing sloppy. Pure heart. 

     

    Miles Davis--Live Around The World. Not a huge choice of a lot of Miles fans but it is amazing. 

     

    Otis Redding-Live In Europe. As soulful as it comes. No one ever did it better. 

     

    Jimi-Band of Gypsys. Vietnam War through his guitar. Very heavy groove.

    That's because most "fans" are far too quick to glean onto the smallest infractions and blow them out of proportion.  O'Reilly was honest about the losing getting to him and any Sabres' fan who ripped him for it is a goddamn hypocrite.  He's a smart player who works his ass off and I'm the least surprised person in the world that he's kicking ass in the playoffs.

     

     

    Exactly. Although the optics of his comments about losing his desire (I'm also not sure that didn't stem from advice from his agent to goose a trade) are borderline treasonous to fans, I didn't blame him a bit for wanting out. The organization is and has been a mess for years. Why would he want to waste his prime hoping that this GM will finally pry the team out of its crypt and back towards the land of the living.
