Anacones on Bailey. You could get a to go six pack and a great roast beef sandwich at 3am.
Dave Anacone was a well known touring and studio drummer.
The following excerpt is from http://home.digitalcity.com/buffalo/...nn/v-107566977
"Free Beer Tomorrow" reads a well polished brass sign behind the bar. That may keep the Homer Simpsons of this town coming back, but others are drawn by more realistic charms. Anacone's (rhymes with "condones") has been in the same spot on the Bailey strip since 1967, when Dave Anacone's bar thrived on clientele from Harrison Radiator and other neighborhood companies. Relic of that era, a yellowed placard offering the workingman's special: a draft of Genny and a shot of Grande Canadian. The nearest big employer now is the University at Buffalo's South Campus, whose med school and architecture students, not to mention undergrads who shirk the Greekish University Heights scene, call this their hangout of choice. After growing up in the apartment above the bar, Mark Anacone took over the business from his father, whose beside burned face looks out from behind the bar and a drum kit in a couple of prominently displayed photos. Look closely and you'll find a crayon drawing of him, too, which years of tobacco smoke have made look like a Clifford Still painting from the Albright Knox. Every once in a while Dave Anacone and the Bebop All Stars get booked to play a smoking set of traditional jazz in the back room. Occasionally, so does another band (The Red Gills are frequently that band, but there are others); otherwise, you can appreciate an abundance of tables, cheap pool, and a well stocked but not-too-loud jukebox. Open every day from 11-4, Anacone's serves beef on weck and some other sandwich favorites. Drinks are reasonably priced, making this a great option for a drink with friends, today or, for free beer, tomorrow. --Stephen GingerichWe spent many a night there playing pool on the short wall. Met my wife there.

There were many unresolved arguments about a 5th face on Rushmore. There was a strong suffragette movement to add Susan B. Anthony.
In March, 1941, as a final dedication was being planned, Gutzon Borglum died. This fact, along with the impending American involvement in World War II, led to the end of the work on the mountain.
The sculpture at Mount Rushmore is built on land that was illegally taken from the Sioux Nation in the 1870s. The Sioux continue to demand return of the land, and in 1980 the US Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Sioux Nation of Indians that the Black Hills were stolen and awarded $102 million in compensation. The Sioux have refused the money and demanded return of the land. This conflict continues into the present day

“Jedi do not fight for peace. That's only a slogan, and is as misleading as slogans always are. Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization creates peace. We fight for justice because justice is the fundamental bedrock of civilization: an unjust civilization is built upon sand.

Very well. I watched a lot of USFL games. That league had many ideas the NFL ought to consider: chipped balls, 3pt PAT option, non-kick onside option (convert 4th & 12 from your own 25.) mic'd up refs, auto-review of all personal foul/roughing calls, 15yd PI, clock stoppage after 1st down inside 2 minutes (actually that's a college rule.) Clock NOT stopping after incomplete passes outside of 2 minutes remaining in the half.
Did it speed up the game?

Time to check out some of Buffalo's finest

Didn’t the USFL just do the same thing? I suspect that is one of the first things they steal from the USFL.
You are correct - having never watched a USFL game - I did not know

Good for Tim Tindale. His part in throwing dirt on Shula's professional grave will always be appreciated.
A buddy of his told me Tindale was living the fine life on a small lake north of Toronto and still rooting for the Bills.
One of @Bob Lamb all time favorite Bills.
"On my first day of mini-camp, Buffalo Bills coach Marv Levy came up to me and knew my name and all my stats. He was the head coach and he knew everything about me." (Levy had coached in the Canadian Football League for a period in the late 1970s and early 1980s.) Tindale had gained television exposure in Buffalo through CHCH-TV's broadcast of Ontario university football, which had made him a "cult hero" of sorts in the station's broadcast area.
Tindale scored his first career rushing touchdown on December 30, 1995, in a playoff game against the Miami Dolphins. His Western University coach, Larry Haylor, said he remembers watching Tindale's first NFL touchdown while on vacation. "We were huddled around a 7-inch TV screen. Tim broke a run for 44 yards and my wife and I were jumping up and down, cheering and screaming. People came storming into our room to see what was wrong." Haylor also said "I always said Tim would be the guy I would pick first if I had to choose a team. At 5'11", 220 [pounds], he had very unusual talents. He's one of those guys who will give you his soul in effort."

If this works out - will the NFL take notice?

LMAO but your right! Now days all that stuff is trash
The UB Bookstore junked all their NCR behemoths in 1978. Those things weighed at least 200 pounds and were indestructible.
For Agnes - I was in high school in Rochester and it rained for like three straight days. Every hand patrolled the streets to keep the sewers cleared

Without getting into WHY wings are more expensive, the bottom line is that they are.
What I've noticed since this recent increase is that restaurants are either listing FAIR MARKET PRICE on the menu, or - lately - just putting a crazy price on there.
Over the past several months, I've had wings on multiple occasions.
I'm not sure about where you live, but where I am (Saratoga/Lake George region), a dozen wings is unheard of and has been for years. The standard is now 10.
In the last two weeks alone, I've noticed two different establishments now serving 8 wings as an order. The average price is about $16.
I talked myself into being okay with paying $16 for 10 wings.
I even got duped into getting 8 wings for $16 last weekend. The bartender/server told me that they were bigger and meatier than the average wing. The little slut lied right through her teeth. They were standard wings and I paid $2/each. Never going THERE again.
Interested to know others' local trends.
$15 for 10 is pretty much standard here. I see a lot of menus heavily promoting "boneless" wings. (Buffalo)
I just bought a dozen (precooked) at BJ's for 10.99 + a $3 dollar coupon off.
I don't need wings at $15 that bad.
1970's - Fridays at Broadway Joe's - 10 cents wings and drafts

I'm not so sure.
Do you remember the gay LB that the Rams (I think) drafted a few years ago? I remember thinking that the guy was a fairly decent player in college but when he got to camp, he was awful. Well, he was in the news for quite some time, no?
I think that CK, with his past, his upbringing, his apparent obstinance, and what seems to be a chip on his shoulder is much more of a conversation piece and more newsworthy to the media than a man who just happens to be gay. CK might serve as a distraction to a coach who is trying to instill a certain group mentality to his team.
Also, is CK a chronic malcontent? I don't know but if he is, I would not want to coach him, especially given his apparent lack of talent.
Of course, jmo.
I am sure - has not played in 6 (SIX) seasons !
