Gabrage is actually the one thing worse than garbage!

Update - a few days after hearing my ST was free, my bill showed "payment 1 of 6" for ST. I called them back yesterday to correct the problem. Got $60 off my bill for 12 months, and cancelled ST to get that first payment refunded. Will then use the season ticket holder discount I got this week from the Bills to get ST Max for $100. Took 75 minutes on the phone, but worth it. I'm pleased with the outcome, but it's clear that DTV has changed under AT&T. Not nearly as accommodating. Likely my 15 years as a customer helped me on this one.

Is that Tim Russert? LOL

No soup for you!

Your reference to Warren as "of native American descent" speaks volumes.

I agree that they have this schtick going. But let me give an example to make my point about JW being a crappy partner. Monday morning they were discussing Da'Rick Rogers. JW asks Howard if he knew where he played in college. Howard says Tennessee, and JW says nope, Tennessee State. (I looked it up, he actually played at BOTH schools). JW was so ready to point out that Howard was wrong, when he wasn't. That's not "young-guy-laps-old-guy-for-a-laugh" schtick, its I-think-I'm-smart-and-I-know-my-partner-isnt. I find it very off-putting.

JW needlessly and thoughtlessly says things to make Howard seem a step behind. Not enjoyable to listen to in the least, and doesn't appear to be a gracious coworker. That said, I wish him well with this challenge.

Staying out of a contract is key. Apparently I happen to be in one now as a result of adding a mini-genie a year ago (even though they told me at the time that it wouldn't result in being in a contract). So I'm disputing the contract thing. Then I ask the rep to check on whether I have Sunday Ticket on auto-renewal (which you also don't want). She replies, oh, it looks like you're all set for ST at no charge this year. Not sure how that happened.

There's an extensive thread on this topic already. Check it out.

I grew up in Liverpool, a suburb of Syracuse.

Sounds familiar. My concussion stories: 5 or 6 years old, just learned to ride a bike. Riding down our street when something made me look back behind me, then things went blank. Turns out when I was looking backwards, I ran into a parked car. I was out cold, neighbor carried me home. Age 15 or 16, playing touch football in the street. Ran a play as a receiver and hit my head on the pavement. Went back to the huddle, then just wandered back to the backyard, where I proceeded to pick a carrot from the garden I had planted. Needless to say, the game ended at that point.

Much easier to just drill another well.

No.

No. Born in South Buffalo, raised in Williamsville. Career has taken me to NYC, Houston, San Antonio and currently Pittsburgh. My kid's been tortured at school in each city.

Same here, MJS !

Why risk getting hurt trying to entertain bored football fans. Not necessary.

Just got mine today. Ready to use them!

And he admits it. He's always talking about his faulty memory or being depressed about something. Not exactly uplifting.

I have to admit, you have elevated photo-only replies to an artform! Agree, his looks are terrifying.

Can't answer that without further info. I'd pay $5k a seat for 2 seats, IF the seats were between the 30s, in a location comparable to the current lower level, and no more than $1500 a year each. I think this is basically what I said in response to their survey. For me it's about location, location, location.

You mean "The Foolish Club". https://bleacherreport.com/articles/340685-forty-years-ago-the-afl-showed-the-nfl-who-the-real-fools-were

You seem to think revenue is about ticket sales it's much more about corporate dollars.

This is not always the case. Sometimes circumstances allow for a "best value" selection when quality is critical. 29 years in govt here.

No. Run away quickly. You can't build a relationship on that foundation.

Couldn't manage even one coherent sentence?
