  2. It is sad,  but the BN is getting their comeuppance partly due to the hard leans of so many of their reporters.

     

    With constant Trump bashing by Zremski, Turner & Zyglis, and Sullivan, Gleason & Harrington tearing down the Pegulas, many cancelled their subscription.

    I recall Timmah! Graham  on Twitter about contract negotiations going on at BN. 

    Never a smart move with a Warren Buffet owned company

    I wonder to what extent the owners realized that journalists are a dime-a-dozen

    .....when newspapers stop selling and revenues drop be my guess.

    If they want people to buy that rag, they should stop having a website. That goes for all newspapers and magazines.

    I am able to read the entire article, so...

     

    Summary:

     

    Reduce the number of print editions (early editions, late editions, Niagara edition, etc.).

    Eliminate TV Topics.

    Monday to Saturday will be three sections (front, region, business). Some of the stuff from the "Life/Entertainment" section will be moved, some will be eliminated).

    Get rid of most jobs in the newsroom that are not reporters/photographers/editors.

    Reporters to be more active on Twitter to promote articles, and interact with followers.

    Make the paywall tougher.

     

     Too little too late to save these sinking ships. It ain't 'cuz of ink costs. 

     

     

     

     

    Enjoy 'em while they're here.

    No doubt it's a sign of the times, the rapidly decline of a once great institution that was deemed as the lifeblood of keeping people informed, the local newspaper.

     

    But, the BN's almighty mindset, constant Trump trashing, Pegula bashing, helped expedite the BN''s demise among locals and losing money for the 1st time in 40 yrs. 

     

    Looks like Buffalo Business First, since I posted this, has locked out the article itself leaving up only the headline, but it has also been reported on WBEN radio too.

    It just felt like you were calling him out on something he didn't say - which is that the talent of the Bills was equal to that of the Vikings.

    No, it was him citing the Eagles college influenced offense helped beat the Vikings and I countered with we'll see how Daboll's attempt at using his college experience as the Bills OC compares against the Vikings in their 3rd game this year. My implication is  it will be a much different result, solely because of Eagles superior talent.   

     

     

     

  7. His point was college play calling is becoming more present in the NFL offensive schemes and a factor why the Eagles beat the Vikings.

     

    Frank Reich was the Eagles OC last year, and yeah he was a factor why they won it all. Daboll is hardly a pioneer in offensive thinking.

     

    My point is great schemes without talent don't win football games. The Eagles 2017 talent is far superior to this years Bills, by far.

    The Vikings D got throttled by the Eagles offense which incorporated a backup QB and a good deal of college concepts. 

    The 2018 Bills with any of their QB's are not on par with the 2017 Eagles with Foles under center....obviously.

     

    In the late afternoon of Sept. 23rd I'll gladly discuss this further if you wish

    The parents in that video are more annoying than the children.

    More and more "modern" families start out that way, but the kids catch up quickly.

     

    If you think the American society is full  of obnoxious, self absorbed, the world owes me types now.....wait, it's gonna get worse in skyrocket fashion.    

  10. Speaking of pedophiles:

     

     Mr. Clinton flew on the Boeing 727 “Lolita Express” 26 times, more than doubling the previously reported 11 trips.

     

    “Bill Clinton associates with Jeffrey Epstein, who everyone in New York, certainly within his inner circles, knew was a pedophile."

     

    "Why would a former president associate with a man like that ?”

  11. Walking, what seemed forever, from my Uncle's house on B St. in the city to War Memorial Stadium in the late '60's and early '70's, it wasn't safe to park near there.

     

    There were no nets when extra points and FG's were kicked and it was a free for all to get the football. Watched Joe Namath, and O.J. who looked like a bust then.
