  1. Maybe ADELPHIA will pick us up! We're more entertaining than most of their old shows.
  2. Lighten up! Many reader's, myself included, don't live in WNY! Why would we, who can't attend games, vote for something that has zero effect on us?
  3. I have not watched, supported or given 2 shi*s about the NBA since we lost the BRAVES! Look a MLB....a LOT of GOOD SEATS still available.
  4. I like Hombre's, Amigo's, or Los Guys, something to fit a place that has lost it's cultural identity! When we lost the BRAVES they became the Clippers. No idea where that came from but everyone will agree that LA really supports them!
  5. Maybe the "live" is a stretch! Can we say DIRT NAP?
  6. What is the world coming to? Promo is back-sliding and watching CH.2!

If a pilot screws up, the pilot dies; If ATC screws up, .... The pilot dies." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Never trade luck for skill." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The three most common expressions (or famous last words) in aviation are: "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" And "Oh sh--!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Weather forecasts are horoscopes with numbers." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Progress in airline flying: now a flight attendant can get a pilot pregnant." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Airspeed, altitude and brains.

It is much more difficult to fly there." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "You know that your landing gear is up and locked when it takes full power to taxi to the terminal." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the test pilot climbs out of the experimental aircraft, having torn off the wings and tail in the crash landing, the crash truck arrives, the rescuer sees a bloodied pilot and asks "What happened?". The pilot's reply: "I don't know, I just got here myself!" - Attributed to Ray Crandell (Lockheed test pilot)
  8. Death tax aside, I don't think the "heirs" give 2 shi*s about the BILLS in Buffalo. Even if they got some kind of phony expemtion, all that would do is put more money in their pockets and the fans would still have to live with the uncertainty.
  9. Lucky there's no OPEC equivalent for French Fries! Nobody could afford to have fries with their order!
  10. Absolutely right! We need Sooo much help, we need to trade down, and gain as much as we can in doing so!
  11. None of the above! Trade down as far as possible, get as many picks as possible, and fill the OL/DL holes now! We can't afford any more expensive first round busts.
  12. If you were hermitically sealed in Ralph's basement, with Sam Wyche, "watching films", with no food or water, you'd look a little rough too!
  13. He should spend money because he can't take it with him!
  14. Any "Boot Camp" type programs in your area?
  15. They're in Central Virginia, along the James River and the Rappahannock going towards Chesapeake Bay.
  16. Cut off free: welfare/medical/legal/citizenship by virtue of birth place, SSI Social Security, and the illusion that, someone No with rights to anything has rights, and they would leave faster than they got here!
