[New job for Frank Reich]

Yes this is true and not an April fools joke. He's really excited about the opportunity to be a Pastor. In today's Charlotte Observer:

 

Former NFL player named senior pastor

 

An athlete-turned-pastor whose name still resonates among Charlotte sports fans has a new job.

 

Frank Reich has resigned as president of the Charlotte campus of Reformed Theological Seminary to become senior pastor of Cornerstone Presbyterian, a 70-member Associate Reformed Presbyterian congregation at 9925 Providence Road West in the Ballantyne area of Charlotte. His ordination/installation is set for April 23.

 

Reich, 44, was named seminary president in 2003. He's still best known to many as the former University of Maryland and NFL quarterback who once played for the Carolina Panthers.

 

Why the move?

 

"I just have a tremendous burden and urge to teach and preach and shepherd," Reich said. "I just want to be on the front lines."

[What does the Hockey Sherpa think?]

Oh wise X, come down from the hockey mountain and give us you insite to the happenings at One Bills Drive...

[Who knows more about Hockey?]

I am not sure who knows the most about hockey, but I will vote for X!

Notice how 2nd-and 3rd-rate bands like Iron Maiden & Queensryche don't make the top artist list.

Second Rate? Rico lay off the grass...

[Greatest Bills Safety of All Time]

But Simpson had that interception in the Jets playoff game that preserved a win that would have gone down as one of the worst choke jobs in the NFL playoff history, just adding to the Bills great reputation.

 

For that one pick, and one pick only, ole Billy Simpson is my favorite

Ha Ha - take THAT X!

[Greatest Bills Safety of All Time]

That's not a raise, that's a downgrade. Bill Simpson was on the downside of his career, and had 6 int in 1980, but the entire secondary led the league. Adv. Freeman.

oh please - you were too busy playing Atari in 1980 to notice.

[BEST METAL VOCALIST OF ALL TIME]

On the list : Ronnie James Dio

 

Not on the list : Geoff Tate / Queensyrche and Bruce from Iron Maiden

 

I LIKE POSTERS WHO TYPE IN ALL CAPS... LOL

[This guy should be banned from football.]

Fallout from the Butler cheap shot...

 

Down here in ACC country - people are stunned this kid is still on the team. The ACC prides itself in sportsmanship and runs PSA's during football games to promote this fact. I've never seen such a horrible display of unsportsmanship in my life.

AMEN Alaska Darin AMEN my brother!

[Top 10 Two-Minute QBs]

I've always said that being called a great come from behind QB isn't so great, because the team fell behind while you were in the game.  I usually argue this in the context that the greatest comeback would never have taken place if Kelly had started instead of Reich, because the Bills would never have been down 35-3 with Kelly in there.

Oh I forgot Frank played defense too. He let Warren Moon light us up in the first half.

Hey my sister teaches at Bolivar, but she drives from Olean.

Does she know any Cawley's or Margeson's? They have a looooooong history of teaching in Bolivar.

[Big 30 final score: Pennsy 49, N.Y. 22]

Sorry.....it's an inside joke at work when one of the maintenance crew has to drive to Bolivar to fix something. I always snicker when I drive past the exit on my way to #89's house,  Even funnier though is when they have to drive to Shinglehouse, PA.

Yeah, they do have one stop light and fifty bars in town.

Bolivar? Freaking BOLIVAR?

Easy on Bolivar! My Mom's entire family is from Bolivar. Kurt, Bolivar's QB dates my cousin and he's off to play football down here at Davidson College (DIII). Great athlete, I was told they are planning to use him as a wide receiver.

[Goin to N. Carolina]

I know more people from Buffalo living in the Charlotte region than I did in Buffalo!

 

Charlotte is a bankers town, lots of suits uptown. For fun, hit Discovery place uptown. You can catch a baseball game just south of Charlotte in Fort Mill. The Knights play in a nice stadium, very clean and reasonable ticket prices. If you like NASCAR, check out the Concord, NC area for all the race team shops. Two of my favorite day trips from Charlotte are Charleston, SC and Blowing Rock, NC. Charleston has alot of history, great food and things to do. Blowing Rock is a quaint resort town in the mountains off the Parkway.

 

Hope this helps.

[Why is everyone so happy about the trade?]

I'm beginning to see why people on this board say "Stevetrojan" when they swear. For the longest time I wondered WTF? Now I know...

[Why is everyone so happy about the trade?]

I swear I posted before BEAR...

[Why is everyone so happy about the trade?]

My whole point was that I'm not pissed about it, but I'm just surprised at how many people are excited that we got a THIRD round pick for a 1400+ yard running back....

Steve,

 

Do you think Shawn Alexander and Edgrin James are better running backs? I do. And guess what, they are not getting better offers to play elsewhere.

 

Something for nothing is good. I applaud TD for sticking to his guns.

[Apology Post to TD for TH Deal Here!!!]

Maybe the GM knows something we don't...

[With the NHL Back]

That one gave me chills. It's great.

Instead of doing the right thing, and using this guys uniforms, they pay a firm millions of dollars for crap... see the new sabres website for an example

[Relocation To Buffalo]

Funny thread... I was just thinking about the good old days in WNY at the drive-in theaters. Most of my family is heading south which keeps me from heading back. I keep hoping WNY turns the corner and they lose the morons in local government...

[Who's seen War of the Worlds?]

My favorite part of the movie was when JP Losman emerges from the spaceship and quarterbacks the Bills to a winning Superbowl and saves the planet.

[Darrick Holmes #44]

What ever happend to him? I really thought he was going to be a star. I watched the 95 Bills highlight video on NFL network and remember what a stud he was...

[Good website development software program]

I do this for a living... Macromedia Dreamweaver 2004 MX. Best software package. Stay away from Frontpage.

[Biggest Bills as-hole]

Thurman Thomas was great when I met him six years ago. Let us take pictures with him and signed everything. He even put me in a headlock because I was wearing a Jim Kelly jersey - not his!

 

Frank Reich is great about signing things. Don Beebe and Carlton Bailey are very approachable.
