  1. Bocce's on Bailey no question....always ask for pep and banana peppers, x-tra sauce, lightly well done and it's perfect every time.

    That's not to say that they're are the only ones who make a great pie...there are plenty of places who make a very respectable pizza all over the area...we're lucky, try getting a decent slice in N.California some time...it's impossible

  2. Great show. I like Zig and Edgar the best. You'd have to be insane to do that job. I wish they would show the strategy is catching crab a little more (%'s of the area they choose over the last five years, etc...)

     

    Also, maybe I'm sick, but I would love to see a full blown mutiny on one of the ships....maybe where a slave driving captain gets put in a pot and thrown over board..lol....talk about must see TV!!!

     

    The closest freak-out was a few years back when they hired a guy named "Gil" out of a bar and he just lost it.

  3. I may just plain strange but it seems to me like people have zero spatial respect when it comes to others. Let me explain....why is it when i'm eating lunch in my car in an empty parking lot someone has to pick the space next to me to do the same when 1/2 an acre is available. Or, at the BAC I go to their are four stairmasters and some d-bag has to climb on the one next to me when the other two are empty.

     

    Am I too sensitive or are people oblivious?

  4. I'll bet anyone on this board a million $ that the following happens on Sunday....

     

    In the 4th, with the Pats up 10-13 points, Brady torches Cromartie with a TD pass that puts the game out of reach.

     

    I'm sure Brady will have a gesture or two for the Jet bench again.

     

    Sometimes, when you want the bull...you get the horns.

  5. I know, I know...we all hate the Patriots but let's take a step back and look at things with a logical eye. Brady is playing at a level of absolute perfection (29 TD's 4 INT's) to the point where he is transending the position into an artform. Not since Montana have I seen a QB perform at such a level. As for Belichick, just look at how he has flipped the age of the roster yet at the same time remaining highly competitive. The Pats D is very young but now they are starting to execute. They are night and day compared to earlier in the year. I mean, my God, they just picked up a player from the UFL and all he does is force a fumble against the Bears that results in a TD.

     

    I thought Belichick's masterpiece was the '08 season when he got his team to 11-5 with Cassell. This season rivals that. So, hate on the Pats all you want but realize that they are the model of the team/organization concept in the NFL.

     

    As for dealing with Brady, the one who said pressure up the middle was right on. You have to get pressure with 4. I know Brady has said that Kyle Williams a player he hates playing against. Pressure is key.

  6. I agree with every poster that said the best way to combat these two hacks is not to listen. I know it can be hard when you're dying for Bills talk but the bottom line is all Entercom understands. When the ratings drop, they can't charge as much to advertisers. When that ripples through their quarterly profits, then you might see some changes.

     

    Sadly, WECK is not much of an alternative. Brad (who stated that he and Bulldog are essentially the same guy....Brad you're right for once!) is just a GR type that ran aground against management. I like the WFAN recommendation. It's a great station. I'll suggest trying the FAN590 out of TO 3-7. Bob Mckowan does a first-rate show that covers the NFL (and can be quite Bills intensive since they carry the games) and has hockey talk that's off the charts. Give it a try.

  7. Please...Whitner is ALWAYS a step late when getting to the receiver. The angles he takes are almost always wrong. The FO is insane if they give him anything over 8% of what he's making now. I'm sure they can find plenty of S"s in the off-season that come cheaper and play better. Also, he loves to take stupid penalties at the worst times. The sooner they cast him off the better.

  8. Everyone says Lee is totally unhittable (which he sure looks like) but if the Giants do the unthinkable and somehow get to him tonight it would be a sweet start. It'll also be cool for us Giants fans in WNY to catch their radio PBP guy, the great Jon Miller, on local radio. Giants in 6!!!!

  9. Hey Chef-Funny how you brought up the temp at Giants games because I'll be in SF on 9/15 and I'm going to see Giants-Dodgers. What are the average conditions at night because every game on TV shows a crowd bundled up to the hilt. Also, any "can't miss" gameday experiences in or around AT&T?

  10. This thread comes up time to time and everything said here is right on the money. WGR is horrible. It will stay that way until some solid competition arrives and that would percipitate a change in how broadcast ownership is structured. In other words, an act of Congress. Good luck.

     

    I'm amazed by two things daily. The beauty of the sunrise and the fact that Bulldog still has a career. He sounds as marble-mouthed as when he began. Schopp really does seem to not want to be there most days and their producer, the psudo-comic, is a total d-bag.

     

    I know people point toward WECK as a real alternative but it isn't. Brad is Brad. What you hear is what you get and thats not very much. Lots of self-satisfied attitude and nothing of substance. Not to mention he's a real bad broadcaster technically. I listened to the new guy Nick. At least he tries to stay in context but it sounds like some college radio show. Not much personality and as a listener I really could care less what music he likes. I've heard these two utter the "I'm just a guy with a radio show" line over and over. If thats true, what compelling reason is there to listen if your just like everyone else and nothing sets you apart?

     

    Sportstalk is dead is most of us know it in Buffalo. For examples of how it should be done try FAN590, WFAN, and KNBR. These station actually respect the intelligence of their listeners.
