I love Schwabel's. Used to live about 10 minutes from there. The place has great character and I make it a point of going there often when I'm back in Buffalo.

A couple of points... I grew up in Buffalo, left for college, returned for law school and moved to NYC. The reason was for the job...there were precious few jobs in Buffalo for a securities attorney. The very little there had very limited upside, financially. That said, I love the area and I would LOVE to move back. My wife is from LI, so that would be a tough sell. We have, however, invested in the area (place in Ellicottville, season tix for the Bills in a split) and will continue to do so. Finally, as a Republican and a NYC resident, I can say that Bloomberg is absolutely one of the worst mayors I have ever seen and deserves absolutely no support. I have not been politically active in NYC, simply because he is in office. Once he leaves, I will get involved.

I have a lot of faith in JP becoming a very good player.

This bike isn't for cruising. Its the fastest bike in the world.

The Burgh is very tough, but nothing beats Boston.

Agree with you there.

No way. Try driving on the Belt Parkway here in NYC, during the summer. Massive traffic, crawling along at 20 MPH, here comes some yahoos on bikes weaving in between the three lanes choke full of traffic. And they wonder "why" when they get wasted by a car changing lanes. You want to talk about killing a whole day while some yahoo is scraped off the Belt, after trying to make it between an Expedition and a Land Rover full of kids, and you're sitting there for 3 hours. Fun.

Excellent point, Darwin at work.

Actually, it is just you that you are harming. According to reports, Ben was not at fault. If he wears a helmet, he may or may not have suffered the same (according to the minimal amount of info available). We don't know yet. According to your logic, then the gov't should outlaw all motorcycles, seeing as how they produce a disproportionate amount of serious accidents and consequences, such as higher insurance rates (tho motorcycle insurance is different) or ER visits. Of course, that won't happen. Again, it is not the gov't's job to protect you from yourself.

The job of the government is not to save you from yourself. If you want to go riding without a helmet, your choice and risk.

I only know of one football, and you a few months early on that one.

None of us go through the physical beating these guys take for 5-6 months straight. Your body does need time to recover. As for your mind...how would you feel listening to Mularkey for 6 months? I thought so. Let the vets get away and come back refreshed and ready to play.

I'm with the Germans on this one. Bud is awful.

I knew when I saw AD posting in a soccer thread I had to read it. This could get good.

Not that my opinion matters much, but I really like what Jack and Dan proposed. It is simple and to the point.

Darwin.

Me too. CTM, you may want to even call the Sabres and try to set this up. I'll bet they would have interest in helping us do this.

Thank you Sabres.

Really? They are all over the place in NYC. Got some ice cream from one yesterday afternoon.

All the better!! Seriously, Blue Moon has been the place to be for these games. I was working late a couple games ago and went over there for the start of the 2nd period. I heard "Lets Go Buffalo" being chanted two blocks away. Outstanding.

The flu? Didn't this happen before, circa 1994 and Bruce Smith? Take the flu shot people. Prediction....Buffalo 2-1, as Miller channels his inner Hasek with the game of his life.

God bless you Paul. RIP and I hope you are with your wife.

This is on ESPN2 and the NHL conference finals are not??

Ya know, I just noticed Kent Hull didn't even make this beginning list. Any way he could be added?
