Good for you Bro!!!! Stay strong and be proud that you've finally done it. I've been 11 months without a smoke and its sooooo much better being smoke free. Do I still think about having one?.....Yes, but the ugre is so small now I hardly notice it. Stick with it!

Howard is boring. End of story. Good point on Bulldog, how he still has a career in radio is amazing. He sucks bad!

Howard is amazing???????????? LOL!!!.......if amazing is what you call boring then I guess he is

Boy oh boy. If Howard is many peoples pick for a good sports talk host than this city needs an education. Howard was a good balance when that maniac Dickerson was a ranting irrational idiot, but Howie is just so unentertaining that its painful. Attempts at humor fail at once and his supposed "insights" are nothing more than the obvious generalizations I hear in the upper deck. By the way, whose the preschooler on with him? Hey Howard, why dont you kill a few MORE minutes reading e-mails. Vapid and banal.

God bless such a great American!!!

I guess Satan figured that one of his favorite sons had more work to do on Earth.

Wow....a real bummer for those who loved hearing Joe from NYC overnight but also good for Joe. His opening rants rank right up there with some of the most entertaining radio I've ever heard...."y'know, this franchise....." Chris Carlin is a solid replacement but Joe is the best. WFAN is the gold standard in sportstalk and it shows you how amatuer and lame WGR (yes including Howard) is.

I agree...........is this a playoff team?....no.....but they beat the Jets start to finish yesterday and that should count for something. The D was amazing......Jets had the ball 1st and 5 in the 3rd and went 3 and out......wow. Throw Evans the ball more please OC Clements. They still have some big holes but if they can pull off a win in NE on Sunday......all bets are off on the "lost season".

Lets repeat..........................Brad Riter is a no-talent, moronic, obtuse idiot who has no broadcasting skills but uses plenty of vapid content to mask his total lack of knowledge of sports. Lets hope the next sound we hear is a truck crossing the center line.......if you get my drift If only Buffalo radio knew what good sports talk sounded like........it aint Brad

The reason Brad cant talk sports is because he knows nothing about it. His is a no-talent black hole that sucks up airtime.....I hope he's next to go.

Thank God those three morons are gone!!!!! Now if only GR would take it to its next logical conclusion and get rid of that idiot no-talent Brad Riter and his little side kick then the station might be something!!!

This really is a silly thread. If you leave a sunny September game thats close with 5 minutes left in the 4th, then you have a point. After all, if your main concern is beating the traffic instead of enjoying the game....then why do you bother going? But.......if you are sitting in raw conditions like yesterday for about 6 hours (assuming you arrived around 10am to tailgate) and you dont want to stick around to watch two poor teams burn the rest of a blowout game out.....then you have every right to leave. Watching garbage time of the Bills-Cards in a rain soaked cooler does not qualify as being a true fan. Both teams are lucky we spent the cash to watch them in the first place.

My God!!!! Doesn't U2 have enough money?....now they're whoring it up for iPod? Nice values boys!

D keeps Curtis Martin from running wild and holds him under 70 yards.....and Pennington shreds secondary with pinpoint passes for 2td's......leads two other drives that result in FG's..........Henry runs well but redzone offense fails...again.......Bledsoe goes from average effort in Pats game to his typical road performance: 5+ sacks 2int and many poor decisions.....late Td in garbage time Jets 20 Bills 10 hello 0 and 4 On the bright side....if they win 3-4 games this year hopefully Ralph will fire TD and its back to square one...again Nothing left to do but wait for JP to get healthy and build from there

Rome's act has really worn thin. Somebody in "C" town throw a rock at that idiot please!

Well just got home and you beat me to this thread. Coy Wire had one of the most brutal games I have ever seen a Safety have ever on any level of football. Bit on play action on a 1 and 30 that resulted in a 1st down. Got beat again in coverage in 1st half for another big 1st. Let Graham run right by him for yet another huge 1st down with the Pats backed up in their own endzone in the 3rd. Goes offside on 4th and 1 and gives the pats a 1st. Promply gets beat for the go ahead touchdown a play or two later. Heard him just now pulling in that "A hard playaction makes it tough"...and this gem "things happen so fast in the redzone and he got a step on me" If the game is too fast maybe you shouldn't be on the field. Let Baker play....I can live with rookie mistakes, not the total lack of talent and mental breakdown that Wire shows every week

Forget about dealing with people holding up tickets on the way in. Stay at your car and down a few beers until just before kickoff. Get to the Abbott Road side of the stadium where people cross the street and start eyeballing prices around 12:55 You run the risk of miss a few plays but you will find a pair at face. If your looking for just one seat....follow the same instructions,offer a $20 and you'll be in the gates, have a cold overpriced beer in your hand, and be seated for kickoff. Trust me, I've done this many, many times before I got seasons. A game that is on local TV is easy to get into. A game that has 70k+ sold that is blackedout is the one you'll pay dearly to get in. Wait till just before 1pm....dont panic when you hear the anthem....then lowball them. Or you might get lucky and find some good Bills fan looking to unload a seat cheap because he/she doesn't want to miss the start either. Good luck. Its worth the effort.

No problem.....tell me how it works out. Good luck

20-3 Pats Too many 3 and outs for the D to overcome 5+ sacks of Bledsoe....maybe a Matthews sighting in the 4th Henry run well but Bills get behind early and have to throw thus ending the ground game Brady with 260+ yard game with 2TD and 0 INT's. Deadly efficient as always. Coach Bill educates Coach Mularkey Wish I thought otherwise......here's hoping for a major upset Go Bills

FWIW I just beat the Colts with the Bills on my way to winning SB39 (T.MaGee MVP) and this is how I did it. Play the Nickel on running downs- As I'm sure you are aware, Manning will pass, pass, pass. Having an extra DB will enhance your coverage. If they run Edge, let him get his yards (within reason) because they will go back to the pass eventually because thats their game. Use the Blitz judiciously- As evidenced last Sunday @ the Pack, you blitz Manning a lot-you lose. QB trap is a safe zoneblitz to use. The idea is to prevent the big play so use plenty of Cover 2 and Cover 4 on 3rd and long. Ball control- run the playclock down to 1 or 2 sec especially with the lead. Dont panic- If they go up early, relax. You are facing the Colts defense not the 85 Bears. Run the ball, pick your spots, chew the clock, and most of all- when your are in the redzone score TD's Good luck

Its was cool to meet Mike and Kelly and some of their friends. A great concert but a horrible game by the offense .......again.

Update: my wife caught Gord at the Odeon last year and she tells me that their is a pizza place/ sportsbar on the same block. I may head there since BWW blasts music and you cant hear the game. Anyone know this place?

Thanks Mike! It will interesting driving down from Buffalo on a Sunday scanning the radio for scores from around the league. Thanks for the info and I'll be at wild wings. Look for a guy watching the Bills in a red Bills t-shirt. I'll buy you one.

Anyone know of a place near the Odeon theater with the NFL ticket I can catch the Bills game? The Tragically Hip start at 8 so I need to know of a place close by. Thanks!
