  1. Is this guy a no-show too?
  2. I look at Patriot Place and see something that becomes a destination on non-game days. At the very least a hotel or two would have been nice Patriot Place did okay with clubs, restaurants, movie theaters, even a hospital. And that part of Foxboro isn't close to population centers. OP is not far from most of Buffalo.
  3. And little ol Buffalo is part of the greatest sports league of em all. That's why you build an overpriced stadium with public money. To remain in that exclusive club. I don't know what the state and county get for their $850MM but there must be something coming back over the next 25 years. They probably could have made something over the last 50 if they bothered to develop businesses around the stadium. It blows my mind that all that ever existed was a Tim Hortons, a 7-11, and a couple bars.
  4. I'm sure few are watching the PWHL women's hockey final. But it was game 4 last night, scoreless, double OT, and Minnesota, who was up 2-1 in the best of 5 series, scores what looked like the title clinching goal. Everyone is in the ice celebrating, the sold out arena is going nuts, meanwhile the officials start reviewing the goal and reverse it for goaltender interference. So everyone has to get back into game mode again. A minute later Boston scores the winner. Game 5 is Wednesday in Boston. Talk about a gut punch. Scroll to the 7:24 mark.
  5. The Wade Phillips-led San Antonio Brahmas upset the Birmingham Stallions. Not only was Birmingham undefeated (8-0) this season, they haven't lost in 15 games, not since last year.
  6. They are at the corner of Jefferson and Best. They left just the 4 gates that were at the corners of War Memorial. They took down the rest of the original stadium.
  7. Wow. UB is Tier 3. After last year to not be in Tier 4 is surprising.
  8. The NFL punditry are just grasping for topics until training camps open. No one has any idea if this offensive group is good or not. You can certainly point at past performances by players but whatever.
  9. Walking from my childhood neighborhood by St. Stan's to the Rockpile for my first live Bills game. Opening day 1969 versus the Super Bowl champion Jets led by Joe Namath. Up Fillmore, left at Best. As we got closer the crowd got heavier. It was like a parade by the time we reached Jefferson. I was 10.
  10. Even going to a $25-30 club show, your playing another 40% in fees. Absurd.
  11. If you watched the USFL they were doing this last year. Worked great. No screwing around with spots. https://www.foxsports.com/watch/play-59aa766e1000d7d
  12. I agree. Gailey's forte was offense. He could have done some neat things with Josh.
  13. Albany will be even better next year with their new prospects joining the team
  14. I expect Josh, Shakir, Cook and Kincaid to be good. I hope Dawson Knox rebounds. And I hope the O-line plays well. I hope Keon and Bishop show something.
  15. Terry is cheap. All those smart moves happened when Scott Pioli was the Patriots GM. When Bill and his dog were in charge, his draft record wasn't good.
  16. It doesn't help when your TV partner ESPN chooses to air a regular season UFL game instead of your league championship. They have 4 channels. They couldn't get the game on one of them?
  17. The Bandits are the most successful indoor lacrosse franchise. No other team comes close in attendance. Is it just because they have always been good? Is WNY, that includes several tribal areas, just a natural for the game? Albany is a very good team but only draws 4,000 average per game. I'm sure the NLL would love to figure out how to duplicate this level of success.
  18. This play was the dagger. Hidden ball trick. Fooled everyone. Albany was cooked at that point. In fact the Bandits used all sorts of Harlem Globetrotters-style moves all night. Stuff I'm sure they were saving for last night.
  19. He was a TV host on WBFL. The show used actual shots of WGRZ Ch.2 to depict the station. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Bill_(TV_series) https://web.archive.org/web/20071017204853/http://www.jumptheshark.com/topic/Buffalo/Buffalo-General-Comments/295
  20. There are 15 teams in the National Lacrosse League. https://www.nll.com/
  21. I started watching last year. Took a while to pick up the rules. If you love hitting this is your sport. It's nice that a Buffalo team is dominant in their sport.
  22. "Can I have those fries?"
