  1. http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/sports/14043733.htm • Considering coach Nick Saban's respect for Bill Belichick, it's no surprise the Dolphins are expected to pursue Patriots linebacker Willie McGinest (likely to be released) and free agent receiver David Givens and offensive tackle Tom Ashworth. Miami also has interest in free agent receiver Josh Reed (Buffalo) and offensive tackle L.J. Shelton (Cleveland).
  2. A good friend and I were talking why more Superbowls have not been here where I am. (Bay Area). - Hotels? Check - Public Transportation? BART. Check - Freeway System? Check -Stadium? uhhh, no. If KC get is, good on them! I've never been to KC, so I cannot comment on how it would do as a host city. It is just plain difficult to get the game. (Unless you're located in Florida...)
  3. Let's say Buffalo builds the Stadium and Hotels needed for a Superbowl. What about other infrastructure? More Freeways? Better Metro/Public Transportation systems? New Peace Bridge? It will take a lot more than just a new stadium and hotels for a Superbowl.
  4. Probably a LAMP post. (Duh!) Consider ye selves forewarned. I was trying to figure out my status, and came up with interesting facts. This first scouting report shows that I have been slipping in the draft. Yet after the recent combine workouts, and my Wonderlich scores, my stock value rose, but by just a bit. So I'll make this easy. I'll sign for the league minimum, with a performance-laden contract. Plus, any signing bonus can be given in Unibroue beers, Bombay Sapphire Gin, and a kick ass hot tub, complete with LCD HDTV for sports viewing, and porn. Edet fer spullng ande gramma ehereres
  5. I see the step chair by the kitchen counter. Rachel was there. Did a quick look, everything looked ok... ...until I see that the box of food coloring was opened! Went into our bedroom, and now we have an area of green on the TV, TV stand, rug, bedding. Needless to say, Rachel is in the bath right now. ugh!
  6. [stupid illogical scenario] How about the possibility that the Texans shock everyone, and take D'Brick. Reggie Bush falls to #2. If we do this rumored trade, and Reggie Bush is there, would would want him with McGahee in the same backfield? Draft Mario Williams? What would happen?!?!?! [/stupid illogical scenario]
  7. Let's say that Miss Cleo 3695 makes 7 more predictions. Let's say he get's 4 of those 7 correct. That's 4 out of 10. That's .400 Barbara Bonds of ADD Park would love that number!
  8. When not drinking alcohol - 2 1/2 cups skim milk, Scoop of Protein Power, scoop of Glutamine, cap of liquid multi-vitamin, and bannana. Mix in blender, take with 2 pills full of all the Omega oils. (Laugh if you want, but I'm the only one in my family that has not been zapped with the ever lasting cold this season, not to mention that I've dropped about 15 pounds in the 6 months that I've been taking this!) When drinking alcohol - Anyone of the Unibroue beers, an off the road bottle of red wine (purchased here), or gin and tonic, using Bombay Saphire Gin, with Rangpour Limes. (Yum!!!)
  9. Swiss ties it. 3 -3. 3 1/2 minutes left. Sweeden also does not have the vertical lines on their socks.
  10. Because Italy is leading Switzerland 3 - 2, and Italy is playing an amazing game!

  12. Jump Around - House of Pain Insane In The Membrane - Forgot who did it.
  13. why should i feel sorry for him for smoking weed? you're the one that needs sympathy, with your crystal meth problem and all... (evidenced with your constant use of the caps lock key).
  14. Vapor Trails, in terms of the writing, is by far, the best Rush album since Moving Pictures! It's just too bad it sounds like mud... I don't put Geddy in the Metal category. Geddy's voice has matured like a fine wine, but even as I am a very big Rush fan, I don't consider his vocal ability even in the top 10.

  16. - It's spelled "you". - And I know where my caps lock key is located on my keyboard. - And cookies are not things you take your computer apart, in order to eat.
  17. The olympics of the upset! And now for the flipside, let's assuem that Gerber leads the Swiss to a medal. Gerber is gonna be spent for the NHL Playoffs. Ryan Miller however... (And that's assuming that Aberscher isn't going to be playing that much more.)
  18. On the list, Dio Not on the list, David Coverdale. Best rock music vocalist of all time? Brad Delp.
  19. Glad you like what was said there! I have many more, and will add some from time to time. Like now... The first week at that job will never be recreated! Started on a Tuesday, and while being introduced to the organization, met LaFontaine in the Aud basement, loading up his minivan with hockey helmets for the Sabres Youth Hockey Program. LaFontaine is a great guy, but has a very evil streak! (More on that in another post, since it merits it's own post!) In the afternoon, the entire organization was summoned to the Aud Club for the new jersey unveiling for employees. I happened to be standing next to Don Luce, and quickly learned that he is probably one of the funniest guys you'll ever meet! Doug Moss mentioned that the club wanted to create a new logo that really reflected Buffalo and the Community. Luce leans over to me and says, "Then the crest will be a Pierogi with crossed Pussywillows"! After the jerseys were unveiled, Muckler asked a guy from the media department to put the full uniform on. (He didn't even know what it was going to look like prior to the organization finding out). When the full uniform was on this guy, Muckler went nuts! All over the words "Buffalo Sabres" being too big on the pants. (?) On Wednesday, I sat in the press box for the 2nd to last game in the Aud, against the Senators. Media types were asking what the new uniforms would look like. A few selected people were brought into the booth I was watching the game from, which also happened to be the booth where Jerry (cannot remember his last name) would blow the airhorn for goals. We had a sticker on the inside of that door with the new logo. It was maybe 4 or 5 guys we "leaked out" the new uniforms to, and the commentary was all the same. "With all this hype, the fans are seeing the new uniforms tonight, worn by Ottawa". Thursday was the jersey unveiling. Not too much to report, except that 100 fans canceled their season tickets within the first hour the new uni's were unveiled, complaining how the team would ever move away from the Blue and Gold. The reason for this, given by Moss, was over equipment manufacturers sending off-color blue gloves, with off-color gold trim. They wanted to make an easier matching uniform. To their credit, they did studies on what colors would bring in the most money in terms of merchandising, and the black and red with silver trim were selected. The first week, The Sabres went from dead last to sixth in the NHL in terms of merchandising dollars. Friday, I was at the Aud for the Bandits NLL Championship game. The highlight for me was taking this incredibly hot brunet to the Channel 7 Studios for video highlight uplinks to ESPN. (God Damn She was hot!!!) Saturday I went to the Bush/Goo Goo Dolls Show. During the changeover from The Goos to Bush, everyone sitting in the press box were handed flyers inviting them to Crawdaddy's for the "Adams Family Party". We were like, what? So after the first song of Bush, a large number of us left! The Adams Family party was the private party hosted and attended by the Goo's! Sunday, the final game. I was asked to take the banners hanging from the top of the Aud from the players as they skated off the ice. What no one knew, until the actual event, was that the banners from the 70's were secured to a solid lead pipe! Those things must have been close to 300 lbs. A co-worker and I lost our balance, and pinned LaFontaine up against the upper gold bleachers! Pat looked at me with this disgusted look, saw that I was having trouble, said, "Start working out you weak !@#$er" (with a smile), and went onto the ice. We almost tripped Sean Burke as he was walking out of the lockeroom, as the only place to put those lead pipes was in front of the only door for the lockeroom! The picture of me at center ice, well that's a small part of it. It was decided that the party would be in one of the concourses after the game. People chipped in and bought 3 cases of champagne, with 2 kegs. SportsService without any prior knowledge sent up 2 cases of hard liquor. So yeah. There was a little drinking! It was also an NHL Hall of Fame/Great Sabres gathering! Luce, Larry Playfair, Rick Martin, Craig Ramsey, and Marcel Dionne were the players I clearly remember. Cloudy in my memory bank were Guy LaFleur, Jim Schoenfeld, and Daryl Sittler. I know there were others, but it was just such a party, it would be impossible to remember everyone who was there. Yet even with those "hockey heroes" right there, the time I spent with Shue was by far, the most memorable. Edit because I need to hire a proof reader, or I need to take 3 more seconds when re-reading...
