    I would never cheer that an opposition player was injured.   That would include Brady.  That's just not the kind of person I am.   I would applaud -- and maybe stand if it was an opposition team's star player -- as the player was taken from the field in the cart just like I would a Bills player. 

     

    Brady being out of the season was good news for the Bills, that's just the bottom line.  I was at that game and was happy to hear he wouldn't be playing the rest of the season.  I wasn't happy about the type of injury, just happy the odds of the Bills beating the *patsies greatly increased.  There couldn't have been many in the stadium that said "Brady is out for the rest of the season?  Oh darn, what a shame."

    Yesterday's news showed footage of many Toronto Raptors fans cheer the achilles injury suffered by Kevin Durant in the NBA Finals.  Players and media we're quick to object and denounce these cheers.

     

    I've never been one to cheer an injury.  But, if TB12 went down during a game in Orchard Park... Welllllll...?!

     

    Do you think the crowd would cheer?  Is he the only one who'd get that treatment?

    I don't think it's fair to compare the NBA and NFL on this topic.  If there is a huge hit in a game, the crowd will roar.  That's the same for any team's fans.  Now if that player is a key player on the opposing team, and does not get up immediately, there will be an immediate "yes! This greatly increases our chances of winning" thought from most.  How 60 or 70,000 people sound during that moment can be interpreted as cheering for the injury rather than cheering for the Bills chances of winning.  And there are some that will cheer the injury, especially if it were Brady.  How long the "cheer" lasts is the key.

     

    For the KD instance, it's completely different IMO.  The fans knew he was coming off a significant injury and was off to a hot start in the game.  When he went down, there wasn't just cheering, many fans were waving goodbye and shouting at KD.

    Too competitive....I hate losing. When my wife and I first started living together we got into a huge fight because I she beat me in Memory and I got pissed and acted like a jerk.

    you'll never beat your wife in memory, she'll remember things you did wrong 20 years ago...

      In business?  With women?  Sports or games?  I am pretty competitive overall but my blood pressure goes up when it comes to business.  I am the sort of guy who if he won a few million dollars after taxes I would enjoy making my competition squirm as it would be the most fun I could get out of it.  Even without a windfall I spend lots of time figuring out how to get the jump on other people.  I wish sometimes my competitors could know this but when smack talk gets back to me that just lights a fire to try harder.  My biggest regret is not being able to push back harder against them.

    I beat my 6 year old 2 out of 3 times in foosball yesterday...pissed about the one loss!

  5. My parents have had season tickets since the early 80's.  They are in their 70's now and tailgate at the Red Carpet Inn, other side of Southwestern from the stadium, about a half mile walk (even more if you factor in getting to their seats).  The past few years they have had both knee's replaced.   Previous to that, they would have to stop several times on their walk to the stadium due to knee pain.  But now they have no issues and the only thing they say is they wish they didn't wait so long to get it done.  My parents are die hard Bills fans, they scheduled their surgeries in the off season so they would not miss any games! 

     

    Good luck!

  7. Jeff Miers Top Summer Concerts...(for those that do not know, he writes for the Buffalo News, reviews most of the local concerts in the Gusto section.)

     

    The Flaming Lips and the Claypool Lennon Delirium, with Particle Kid
    July 27 at Artpark
    Why? Because your heart deserves a holiday. Two of the finest ensembles currently making psychedelic rock music, both of whom happen to be supporting fantastic new albums, team for a summer show that I’m predicting will be the high-point of the summer.

     

    Beck and Cage the Elephant
    Aug. 13 at the Darien Lake Amphitheatre
    Why, Because Beck is completely awesome, and the new Cage the Elephant album, “Social Cues,” is, too.

     

    George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic with Galactic, Fishbone, and Miss Velvet & the Blue Wolf
    June 11 at Artpark
    Why? Because a summer without funk isn’t really a summer at all.

     

    James and the Psychedelic Furs

    July 18 at Canalside
    Why? Because James is one of the great, largely unsung bands of the great alternative rock era of the 1980s and early '90s, and the band has not played a major summer stage in the city of Buffalo. The Psychedelic Furs always deliver the goods, too.

     

    Cobblestone Live!
    Aug. 2-3 in the Cobblestone District
    Why? The lineup for the third annual Cobblestone Live! fest, is stellar and ably blends national and local talent of the topper-most tier.

     

    Iron Maiden
    Aug. 13 at KeyBank Center
    Why? Iron Maiden remains the greatest heavy metal band in the world. And the band’s visits to Buffalo have become increasingly rare over the years.

     

    Rockin’ at the Knox with Death Cab for Cutie, Tank and the Bangas, Phosphorescent
    June 16 outside the Albright-Knox Art Gallery
    Why? This consistently wonderful annual event is a must-see, and this year’s lineup is one of its finest.

     

    The Struts and Glorious Sons
    July 25 at Canalside
    Why? They keep telling us that rock 'n' roll is dead, and we need to gather in numbers to prove how wrong they are. Two awesomely raunchy young rock bands make this one a summer requirement.

     

    Borderland Music & Arts Festival
    Sept. 22-23 at Knox Farm State Park
    Why? The setting is beautiful, and the lineup (including Gov’t Mule, Greensky Bluegrass, Shakey Graves and Mavis Staples) is sublime.

    I really enjoy all the different shops they have, a lot of great restaurants, many great mini golf places, two great beaches, especially Million Dollar Beach. Their fireworks are awesome! I would love to live 10 minutes away from the village. The village has a lot to offer, a great tourist area. I'm looking forward to staying at the Holiday Inn Resort there. It looks amazing! 

    Have you been to Lake George before? 

    No, I have not.

    What is your favorite summer vacation spot and what summer trip do you have planned this year?

     

    Mine is Lake George, NY. It's just a wonderful place to be. Will be going again this June. 

    Last year was either Lake George or 1000 Islands.  We went with 1000 Islands and it was great.  This year hoping to do Lake George!

    So many whiny babies about a great show because it didn't have the perfect ending that THEY wanted.  Or because the creators didn't want to spend the next 5 years of their lives flushing out every story line perfectly.  My lord folks.  It's a show and it was great.  The only problem with it was the crazy expectations you all created for it in your minds.

    I see the reason for complaints, and I don't think it crazy expectations.  You invest 8 years in these characters and the final season just seemed rushed.  I didn't think the finally was horrible, but I didn't think it was great either.  It would have been a very good ending of a season, but not for a finale.

    Yeah but Ygritte is gone and he can't take a woman.  Maybe he violates that by going beyond the wall, I don't know.  But he didn't seem happy about it when they mentioned it to him. 

     

    And while they have numbers, there was a reason that they didn't kill Jon, Tyrion and anyone else they could find after Jon killed Dany. 

    He absolutely violated his punishment.  Most people didn't believe there were WW's, so Castle Black has always been a place for castaways and criminals, it's like a prison.  That's why JS wasn't happy about it.  But it turns out being maybe the best for him, to his surprise the Wildlings are there.  Now he'll start a new life beyond the wall and without the threat of the WW's.
