  1. I was living in California. My ex woke me and my step son up, saying a plane flew into the WTC. As we were watching that at 6:30 am, we saw the 2nd plane hit. My ex and I were working for ourselves at the time, (landscaping), so we went to work. One of the clients we saw on Sept 11th was a couple from Danville. When we saw them, they were both white as a ghost, and the wife was nearly in tears. When we asked what was wrong, they told us that they were in NYC visiting their son in college, and they were deciding to take the red eye back to San Francisco, or take the first flight out the next morning. The wife wanted to be home to oversee the lawn install on their backyard renovation, so they decided on the red eye. The first flight out the next morning would have been Flight 93. My ex was upset that Starbucks was closed on the 11th. She was in denial about the whole thing until the following Monday when the A's played the Yankees in NY. She couldn't stop crying the whole game.
  2. Happy Birthday Dad
  3. I wonder if this has filling, like a Boston Creme...
  4. Yep. Although it may be based on market. (I'm not in the sports department so not 100% sure)
  5. Yahoo sports app carries all the NFL games. (I work at Yahoo. We have the contract with the NFL to carry all games on mobile and tablet).
  6. If Diggs did that to Cousins, Kirk would be out 6 to 8 weeks with a bruised ego.
  7. Would I? No. Best comment in the replies on the Facebook post? Yes! Oscar Joseph Finkel is Einhorn, Einhorn is Finkel
  8. We're a Nissan family. Very good success with them.
  9. Going off the beaten path, I'm saying kicker. You basically do next to nothing all game, and you are called on to perform at your best, you're expected to be successful when it matters to the team the most. Make the kick and you're praised. Miss the kick and you're run out of town or forever remembered (Norwood). Hardest position in sports? Goalie. You're standing on 2 razor blades for 60 minutes plus, and expected to move from side to side on said razor blades effortlessly to stop a disc of vulcanized rubber traveling at you at 90 mph plus.
  10. After reading the more recent posts, I must channel Chandler...
  11. The place that came into my mind first would be the Elma/East Aurora area. House prices are higher, but the pace of live is easier than a more populated suburb. And you would be close to the massive Delta Sonic and Wegmans on Transit. (You have to think of these things).
  12. So at least we have until 2023... https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32133610/buffalo-bills-renew-lease-july-23-new-stadium-deal Buffalo Bills won't renew lease in July '23 without new stadium deal ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills won't renew their lease with the state and county without an agreement in place for a proposed new $1.4 billion stadium to be partially publicly funded, leaving the team's future uncertain beyond July 2023. "No, we absolutely will not," Pegula Sports and Entertainment senior vice president Ron Raccuia told Buffalo's WBEN-Radio on Thursday. In saying the topic of relocation has not been raised during discussions with government officials, Raccuia didn't entirely rule out that possibility by using the word "yet" when asked if the Bills might begin looking elsewhere once the lease expires in about 23 months. "We're not even focused on that, yet," said Raccuia, who is chief negotiator in talks for PSE, the parent company which owns the Bills. "We're just committed to getting everybody together as quickly as possible to get to a solution," he added. "Talking about options and 'what happens if,' that serves no purpose. It's not where any of our focus or resources are being dedicated." During a wide-ranging interview, Raccuia otherwise confirmed the cost, size and location of the stadium proposed by the Bills to be built in Orchard Park, New York, across the street from their current facility, Highmark Stadium, which opened in 1973. At issue is how much the project would cost taxpayers in what Raccuia called a public-private partnership that would potentially include NFL funding. The expectation is the public will be asked to fund more than 50% of the cost. A message left with Gov. Kathy Hochul, who is from Buffalo, was not immediately returned. On Monday, her office released a statement to The AP, which read, "no one is more committed to keeping the Bills in Buffalo" than Hochul, and that details will be shared once negotiations are completed. Erie County executive Mark Poloncarz was not available. He previously dismissed speculation of the Bills possibly relocating but issued a warning by saying taxpayers won't be writing what he called "a blank check." The Bills have ruled out renovating Highmark as being cost-prohibitive compared to starting fresh. The new stadium's proposed capacity would be between 60,000 and 62,000 seats, which would make it one of the NFL's smallest -- and about 10,000 less than Highmark.
  13. That poster is still alive?
  14. In all fairness to the OP, the video itself has "Jimmy Kelly" in the title. Just some wanker at ESPN not knowing their football history.
  15. This has my vote! Nicely done!
  16. https://www.schwabls.com/
  17. Which, oh never mind
  18. I think with Allegiant and Levi's, they can expand the seating. Levi's is close to 80K for a Superbowl or National Championship game
