    When I first asked about the throwback uni's, this was Chris Brown's reply:

     

    I don't think those unis are coming back this year. It was based last year on the 40th anniversary of the '65 championship season. A one year deal.

     

    But today I get another e-mail from Chris"

     

    I did some sniffing around after answering your question about the throwbacks and I'm hearing through the grapevine that they may still be considered for 2006. Nothing definitive that I know of, but not a dead issue as I described yesterday. Sorry to have misled you. Cross your fingers.

     

    So there you go. Hats off to Chris for following up on my question.

    Sabres Schedule 2006-2007

    in Off the Wall Archives

    Posted

    Only 4 games that happen the same weekend as Bills games:

     

    Oct 20, 2006 HOME Hurricanes 8:00 PM ET (Patriots 10/22)

    Nov 4, 2006 HOME Maple Leafs 7:00 PM ET (Packers 11/5)

    Nov 24, 2006 HOME Canadiens 8:00 PM ET (Jaguars 11/26)

    Dec 16, 2006 HOME Senators 7:00 PM ET (Dolphins 12/17)

     

    What sucks is 3 of the 4 are canadian teams, which means "gold" pricing and hard-to-get tickets. I should point out that Nov.4 is also the UB/Kent State game, so you can make a NCAA/NHL/NFL triple-header that weekend.

    Talk about doom and gloom ....

    Good thing the Sabres didn't listen to the pre-season forecasts.  It's not original to pick the Bills last and to forecast any of the uncertainties to tank.  I don't believe we are in as dire of a situation as this guy wants you to believe.  The team is progressing.

    It's easier picking non-winning lottery numbers than winners. I'm 100% so far.

    If you're going to criticize the players involved in the scandal, think of it this way.  A good percentage of the players that played in this world cup have played once in their lifetime for some of the teams involved in the Calciopalo scandal (Players from France, Ghana, etc).  It's not only the Italians.

     

    The management is the main reason, and that is why  most of the managers and owners involved are banned from Serie A.

    You make my point on how soccer scandals are commonplace. At least USA sports leagues look clean.

    I find this hard to believe.  I mean they are still using them for promotions and stuff.  McGee wore his to the unveiling of his artwork.

    Just reporting what Chris said. Who knows? Maybe the Bills plan to switch to those uni's and just want to keep it secret. But considering Chris' inside position with the team, his word is credible.

    Yeah, I'm in.  Though I went to the private tourny section and noticed that nobody has signed up yet...

    I noticed the same thing. I am going to put my money in now, so anyone who goes there will see "promorobot" as registered. See you all tonight.

    Bravo for #7. I had the same thoughts. How can anyone say the Italian victory is clean when their own leagues are rife with corruption? People complain about officials in every sport, but there has not been a similar scandal in American sport since the 1919 "Black Sox" that rigged the baseball World Series.

    I sent an e-mail to AskChris@Bills.NFL.net asking about the status of the '65 throwback uni's for this season. He replied saying they were a one-shot deal for the 40th anniversery of the AFC champion Bills.

     

    Boy, how much money did they spend on them (new helmets too! not cheap.) and they toss them after two outings??? I'm reminded back when all the NFL teams wore throwbacks for one year, Ralph Wilson didn't want to spend a ton of cash, so he had stickers of the standing white buffalo slapped on our red helmets! Remember those? THAT was suposed to be our throwbacks!! The Bills NEVER wore red helmets with a standing white buffalo, yet there they were, representing the "throwback" Bills! Same jerseys, but with the standing white Buffalo stickers.

     

    Just like fans are revoilting over the Sabres alleged new logo, we ought to let Marv know we want to see more of the '65 throwbacks!

    Revenge for Iraqi rape/murder

    The first thing that struck me about this article is that if this woman and her family were still alive, these a**holes would have killed her for being a "whore," and the family would have been killed for "consorting with the infidels!"

     

    While I don't condone what this US soldier allegedly did, these cold-blooded murderers are the LAST people who have any right to preach.

    The problem with low stakes play isn't that you get one guy calling every bet, if that was the case you'd end up making loads of cash.  The problem is that 4-5 guys at the table all do it.  Beating one player who doesn't know what he's doing is easy but hoping that all 5 guys at the table don't suck out puts you on the short end of the odds.  I call it Pot-Luck Poker and it's aggravating as hell.

    Looking for Mr. Bills Bar

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    I am researching an article for The Buffalo News on Bills bars around the country and around the world (excluding Western New York, Southern Ontario and points nearby).

     

          I would love to hear recommendations from anyone. I'm looking for stories about places where Buffalo expatriates and other Bills fans gather to watch the games on Sunday, eat some wings and drink a little beer, reminisce, sing some old songs, and did I mention drinking beer?

     

      Feel free to post replies here on the board, or if you'd be willing to send me a phone number for a follow-up call, please drop me an e-mail to: gconnors@buffnews.com.

     

    Thanks for your guidance.

JCBoston is one of the managers of the Boston Bills Backers. http://www.bostonbillsbackers.com/ or send a PM to "JCBoston"
