  1. Well, after starting 7-1, I think teams will start to notice
  2. In for tailgating fun, we have our tickets, but would love a place to park and some grub. Lemme know the cost and if its possible. Thanks!
  3. Ok, Here's the deal. I'm a lifelong bills fan from the Horseheads/Elmira/Corning area. I've been to 2 Bills games, Jacksonville Wildcard game in '96, and the Tenn/Buffalo home opener in '00. I'm currently living in Detroit and will be meeting a friend in Cleveland who is a Texans fan. We will be up there mid Saturday afternoon. He has never been to Buffalo, so the plan is to: Go to Niagara Falls (the canadian side, of course) and to hit up the Anchor Bar in downtown Buffalo. After that, probably retire to an inexpensive hotel and play some madden. The question is: Where to stay? I'm looking for a reasonable hotel within a quick drive of the stadium that isn't a crap hole. I also would appreciate any info about good tailgates going on (I remeber reading somewhere there's a TBD one going on...). Also, both Bills games I went to were with my Dad, and I haven't been there in 5 years, so I can't remember where the best parking was. Any advice would be great! Matt
  4. Did anyone get in on the 30-1 line that was being offered by online gambling sites that gas would reach $3/gal in NYC and LA. The only gambling I do is play poker, but you have to wonder about whether that bet was +EV or not for the online casinos.
  5. More likely a 'communications' degree with a minor in sports media and an internship at the newspapers sport section. Honestly, what do you have to do outside of attend the games and have a loud enough/biased opinion for the local fans to like you.
  6. I thought most people became sportwriters by not doing any of their HW since the 6th grade?
  7. The Texans are a team that should command respect. Their D is suspect, they ranked 13th in rushing yards allowed, 22nd in passing, and 23rd overall, so Buffalo SHOULD be able to grind out 3 TDs. Their Offense is very dangerous, and should not be taken lightly. Davis is an improving back, and Carr is likley entering a breakout year.
  8. Thats a lie, He only has 5 NHL seasons under his belt and will be 28 in sept. He'll be a RFA next year a UFA in 2.
  9. Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana. Outside of Cincinatti and the part of Indiana thats close to chicago...I can't think of any reasons to live there. The midwest (sans michigan, which is a beautiful state sans downtown detroit), is the bastard step child of the North and the South. The bad parts of the north (crappy on again, off again winters, rudeness) and hte South (rednecks, inability to drive in snow, a general feeling of inadaqueteness, causing them to brag about how great their state is, etc) crammed into one area. Move North (NY, MI, PA) or South (VA, SC, NC, GA) but dear God, DON'T move to the midwest.
  10. The Eagles have a better D than any that Losman has to see yet. He's not going to see a decent d until week 2.
  11. Now, if they could offer a shuttle from HSBC arena with police escort so you can get to the bills game on time...I'm in
  12. Sigh, Casinos in Syrace, Olean, Niagra Falls, Brantford, Ont, Atlantic City, NJ, Conneticut....where exactly are they going to bring the tourist from? You really want to bring tourists in....make a poker room...a big, two floor, 100 table poker room. With a high rollers area with high stakes games to lure players all over the north east. Not as profitable....much less overhead, good, guaranteed jobs, you could start big poker tounries in the area...and advertise the hell out of it Host a few big tournies a year...this really isn't a bad idea.
  13. 80. Tell her that you wore the belt with the 'extra holes' so you can go to an all you eat Buffet.
  14. She's not wrong there....the so called 'white flight' from downtown detroit started way back in the mid 20th century when the african american mayor pretty much told the white people to 'get out of detroit'....and they did.
  15. http://timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=384468 A good article that talks about McGahee's confidence and swagger this year as opposed to last year. If he's 100%, its gonna be damn scary, cause he was great last year.
  16. Ha. An eighty five year old Manhatten Women sees on the news that there is a sex scene in the game little jimmy begged for during Christmas or his birthday, and now she wants to sue rockstar games. I pray to God that Rockstar doesn't settle, takes her to court, and points out that #1. the game is not intended for 14 year olds and #2. that her grandson had to jump through several hoops and research into finding the sex scene.
  17. Thailog HATES visiting the proctologist
  18. Its a sellout everytime...and STILL cheaper than seeing a game in Toronto. Lets let the leaf fans bring the sabres out of debt
  19. The Wegmans in Ithaca NY, from between August and June. Holy hot single rich college girls batman.
  20. UFA buying periods starts tomorrow. Hockey is back beeeeooootttches.
  21. Eh, Buffalo didn't get the 1st overall...boo hoo. At least they made the top 15. If Ottawa gets #1, I'm gonna cry.
  22. with the draft wrapping around, if you don't get in the top 5, you want to be in the 11-20 bracket. I'd much rather see Buffalo get 15 than get 6. Then again, I'd much rather see them bring home sidney.
  23. I refuse to make any preditctions to see how the Pats are without their coordinators in the preseason.
