  1. What is amazing about BCS is, to me, how they have rolled two shows into one. The first 4 seasons were a study in a slow burn character development. How Jimmy changed, his relationship with his brother Chuck, Kim, Mike, Howard and on and on.

     

    Now, all the decisions these characters made have them going full throttle into the BB pace and twists we all love. 

     

    Bad choice road indeed.

  2. The dear departed David Rhodes hooked my wife up with her current job. She just got a massive raise. We live within our means but this really helps. Thank you for this beautiful space l. RIP David.

  3. So many to mention living in WNY. 1997 driving down the length of the 400 at 3am. No plows. Couldn't see 5 feet past the windshield. All I could do was follow the tire tracks left in front of me seconds ago. Couldn't even see his taillights. I thought " I hope he can see where he's going because if he's in a ditch, I'm joining him."

     

    One I was present for but didn't know it at the time.  Grateful Dead Summer tour 1990. I drove the Louisville, Raleigh, DC, Foxboro leg. Hometown show in OP was next. I was spent. So, per agreement, it was my two friends driving us home. Last thing I remember was getting on the 590 to the 90. I woke up as we were getting close to Batavia rested and ready.  My friends in the front were glassy-eyed and looked exhausted.

     

    Apparently, we entered an impenetrable fog that slowed us down to 5mph for about60 miles, cleared that and then ran out of gas. Some heads stopped and drove our driver up the 90 for gas. Slept through it all lol. Once we reached the Batavia rest stop all they said was "You drive the rest"

    If you're too young to remember, ABC did not broadcast this game live.  They thought the US was going to be blasted by the Soviets, as was the case just a couple of weeks earlier at MSG. It was shown on tape-delay at 8:00pm EST that night.  Americans near the Canadian border, Buffalo included, got to see the game live on CBC.  It was also Al Michaels' second ever hockey broadcast.

     

    I was actually in a car and heard the score come over the radio.

     

     

    The game was actually on CFTO live. Amazing night!

    Without doubt, this was the greatest.  If Whitney was so inspiring, why did the Giants go 9/16 on 3rd downs? As far as the war goes, as the great Bill Hicks said "a war is when TWO army's are fighting."

    Was thinking the same. If Tennessee could sack Burrow 9 times, what will the Rams do? Let's face it, the best team isn't playing.

    So true. What a heartbreaker. Still, go Cincinnati. LA is a horrible football town, if you can call it that. Ohio deserves it. At least they give a ****
