Apparently, the only people killed, per todays NY Post, were Lidle and his flight instructor. They BOTH had access to the plane's controls. Noone knows who was flying it at the time. It appeared to be some type of mechanical error. NTSB will investigate.

But I'll amend that to say, but damn I sure do respect him.

Coolest stadiums I've been to... Yankees Stadium (Numerous times, most memorably for Game 4 of the 01 Series) RWS Boston Garden (Sabres/Bruins) Aud MSG (Knicks/Bulls w/ Jordan) Wrigley (Summer weekday afternoon game) Fenway Cameron Indoor (Duke/UNC) Cool stadiums I'd like to see a game at Lambeau Dodger Stadium Ole Miss Notre Dame Churchill Downs Camden

I saw that. Problem is you can't pull a parachute and glide down slowly in midtown Manhattan. An open field in NJ, sure. But not in midtown.

But could he help shore up the run D for a few weeks?

First of all, there was no storm when he was flying. Visibility was approx 3-4 miles in the air. The storm started about 2 hours after he crashed. Secondly, there was a call reported from the plane before it crashed. Something about a fuel problem. Third, Lidle was a licensed pilot, he got the license in the offseason. Apparently, he was alone in the plane. Finally, some of you people have serious f--- problems. To mock someone's apparently accidental death, along with those of 3 others is reprehensible. To do so with more arbor simply because he plays for a team you don't like, is deplorable.

I would consider Whitner and Simpson as solid building blocks. Perhaps McCargo and Williams as part of a DL rotation. Give Marv another draft or two as good as this one and we may be onto something.

I like unbridled optimism!! I see the similarities and hope that you're right!!

The national media seems to have finally taken notice. It may be us vs. the San Jose/ Anaheim winner for the Cup!! http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news;_ylt=AlJO...cnnsi&type=lgns

I'll be picking one up soon.

No, it just means Dr. Z didn't vote for him. The list is only the guys that Dr. Z voted for.

I seem to recall a similar case like this about ten years ago, not sure where. A pedophile raped the guys daughter (there was, I believe, undisputable evidence), the guy blew him away with a shotgun after torturing him for a while, then the guy pleaded guilty, and the jury sentenced him to one day in jail (They had to give him something). I've been searching google but haven't found anything yet.

Bills 16 Bears 9

Dennis, the only thing is, in the NFL, the more desperate team usually wins. After your big W vs. Seattle, you had better find something to get desperate about cause we're coming. I see it...Bills 16 Bears 9, McGee takes a KO back for a TD, Whitner sacks Rex for 2, and McGahee controls the clock, getting 30+ carries and a TD.

I too despise the slug. Great win for the Sabres last nite. BTW - Darcy said that the Sabres cap number was $43.95 mil, just 50k less than the max. The number includes Connolly. I guess we really had no choice with respect to JP. Too bad. Good to see Golisano spend to the cap and not cheap out.

Then we have to really focus on beating the Lions...no letdown. Then we COULD be 4-2 heading into armageddon on Oct 22, aka the Pats game.

I love this team. Give credit to Jauron and Marv for the atmosphere. Under TD, it became too....corporate. Now it really is starting to feel like a team and a family, the way it did back in the day!

Wonderful. An intellectual discussion concerning whether the government should be abridging the personal freedom of individuals has been reduced to self aggrandisement.

See coal miners, NFL players, soldiers etc. My point is to allow the owner of the property to make that decision. You are here in NYC. Pre-smoking ban, if a bar billed itself as non-smoking, the place would have been a hit. It would have made oodles of cash. The choice to go there, or work there, would have been up to the individual. Same as with a bar that allows smoking. There are thousands of bars in the city, those that wished to work in a smoke free environment would have had their pick. I'd venture to say that if the choice was left to the bar owner, it may have split about 60/40 non smoking. Everyone would be happy. Problem is, now the gov't told that you can't engage in a legal activity on private property. Thats dangerous.

Worst Supreme Court ruling since Dred Scott. They should be embarassed of themselves.

Failure to check the unreasonable will of the majority is what led us into the Prohibition era. I resist just about any attempt to restrict personal freedom at the whim of the majority, or a few influential elected representatives that believe they represent the will of the majority (Frist). Agreed on the megalomanics. Thankfully. I will take up your suggestions on reading. My now two hour daily commute, each way leaves me much time for reading . And I've been meaning to see Good Night and Good Luck for a while now. I just haven't gotten around to it.

Hey now...insulting Labatt Blue in my presence....them's fightin' words!!

Cincy, one thing I am is consistent. My position is that the gov't should not make laws to protect an individual from themselves. If a woman (or man) wants to be a prostiitute, so be it. I have no right to sit in judgement of that person. Whether I choose to patronize said prostitute is my choice (I won't, I'm married). Whether I pay overtly for sex with a prostitute or covertly (dinner and a movie impling sex after) is none of the gov't's business. These are the reasons where I am against any government law abridging the personal freedom of adults including the 21 year old drinking age, the smoking ban, the poker ban, I am staunchly pro-choice and even the seatbelt laws. The gov't should restrict its laws to when your conduct directly affects another. Only thren should the gov't step in to put a stop to certain behaviors. DWI laws are a good example of this. And no, the smoking ban does not qualify. If the employee is a smoker and doesn't mind working in a smoke filled bar, so be it. IF the employee does not want to work in that envoironment, go elsewhere. As Darin said, there are 300 smokeless bars and 100 smoking bars in his town, to use one example. So, the worst thing that happens is a potential employee is restricted in the places he/she works. Tough. Thats life. We all are so restricted.
