  1. Question.

     

    Is DTV / Sunday Ticket going to end and eventually go to Digital Cable? I did not know if they had a contract which might expire soon and then we can all subscribe without having to get a stupid dish sattelite. Similar to what NHL Center Ice, NBA and MLB have on Digital Cable.

     

    My point is, I don't want to go thru the hassle of switching to DTV just for football for 5 months. I'll just go to the sports book (Vegas!) or bar and get the game. I mean, satellite is NOT even true satelite anymore. Living out west, you can't get channels back East such as (Empire= R.I.P., MSG network, CBC Canada... etc). Am I correct? I think DTV is not all that great, but this is coming from a digital cable subscriber and never a dish owner, so I might be biased on it, but that is they way its seems to me.

     

    Any thoughts on this or insight. I just wish I could get Sunday Ticket on freakin' digital cable for crying out loud!!

  2. Good to see Will Smith setting at least somewhat a decent example. Too much negative influence from all that hip hop gangsta rap nowadays. Makes me sick.

    I remember the mid to late 80's when rap was fun with good beats and rhythm. Groups like 3rd Base, Tribe Called Quest, Jungle Brothers, Stetsasonic, Run DMC, YO MTV Raps. None of those groups had the image of gangbanging.

     

    I guess we have NWA and 2 Live Crew to thank for all this crap rap which has led us to such great artists as 50 cent, Eminem and everyother punk on the crap radio stations. <_<

  3. There's an article in this morning's Raeleigh News and Observer that Roenick is pissed that what he said was taken out of context.  He called ESPN several times to complain and ask why they didn't show the entire interview, but ESPN never took his calls or called back.

     

    I think you should know the whole story before you B word about what one guy says.

    Dan Patrick said today that there was more to the interview and the "context" issue. Bottom line is though, that he is a millionaire and please don't give me that crybaby stuff when there was a deal long ago that would have solidified the money.

     

    Good thing he is a Phuckin Philly Flyer too. I hate that team and Bobby Clarke. !@#$!!

     

    I am a fan of this game and when it returns so will I. I'm sticking by that even though they are all overpaid, but so what. It still is a great game!! Now get back on the ice you bums! <_<

  4. The Sabres have a nucleus of good, young players and, because they are in great shape with the cap, might be able to sign a front line center, power forward and big defenseman which would make them a serious contender.

    YES! YES! YES!

     

    Also, Derek Roy will almost be guaranteed a roster spot as a 3rd Center.

     

    I think BIRON will be cut and I agree with the move if it happens. Time to move on.

     

    ZHITNIK needs to be resigned for one more season as he is still a valuabe D man. Kalinin too, He needs to be resigned!

     

    The Sabres are looking good in what will become the new NHL. The cap room they have created for themselves, should provide them to acquire some (2 guys) top talent IMO. LETS GO BUFFALO!

  5. God, Valby is funny as hell! I would love to see him. I wrote his manager 2 emails telling him to get his butt out west and play VEGAS! He would certainly beat many of the shows on the strip hands down. I'm not kidding. This guy is pure brilliance. I have several of his recent releases on CD. Good stuff and a Buffalonian!!

     

    Check out his site -

    :lol:

  6. Just watched the Aviator. I thought it was really interesting about the life of Howard Hughes. My question is, about 3/4 thru the flick, does anyone know if that really happened in Beverly Hills when he crash landed his plane (the Hercules) into that country club and row of houses?? That scene was unreal and I just wanted to know if that was made up by Scorcese or did it really happen? Anyway, great movie!!

  7. So many people are just rude at theatres. Cell phones, talking, eating popcorn loudly, getting up. Its like they are in their freakin living room!!

     

    And yes, the concession prices are like going to the Emergency Room. $300 dollars later. I mean, it is getting ridiculous for soda, candy and popcorn. Like $20 for three people. Sick, sad and greedy society.

     

    So do like I do; load up at home with some candy bars, can of soda, and any other smaller snacks that fit in your coat or pockets and bring it in with you. I'll pay $9 for a movie but another $20! Screw You theatres! :blink:

     

    Oh and one last thing. How many people get to the theatre early and have to sit thru that agonizing pre-pre view called "THE TWENTY"? Basically its 20 mins of TV ads, dumb shows, and teeny bopper music videos and songs. GOD I hate that!! Anyone agree with me! I think Brenden Theatres has it. Awful!

  8. Well, when you have movies like "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" it comes as no wonder. Keep making crap like that and you'll have a drop off for sure. Also insert, Honeymooners and The Longest Yard and you have a whole lotta junk up right now at the theatre!

  9. I don't think it's fair to say that Biron really hurt the teams playoff chances over the last two years.  Simply put, the team wasn't good enough.  The trade deadline deals last year were a big part of elevating the Sabres up to contender status.

    One quick request for Darcy Regier, add another BU forward to the team so the Drury-Grier-_____, BU line can be complete.

    I have to disagree with ya on Marty. His lack of early game preperation put the Sabres in a early hole and although the trades helped they wouldv'e made the playoffs over the NYI if they had those early season game pts. To his credit, he played very solid down the stretch and we just missed. I'm just saying that we need a guy to really play loud right away, steal games and get 2pts per, and Marty has not shown that in the last 3 years. I don't think BUF can afford another early sag. If you have a strong OCT/NOV, then DEC can see some slide and close out the year. I mean, I know you can't win every freakin game (because the schedule should lose about 10-12 games a season IMO) but "Get the lead out Biron.

     

    However, I really like your BU line formation. I'm all for that. They could be a terror. Who do you have in mind for the third? I don't know many BU alum in the league off hand.

     

    SEASON/05-06/START/PLEASE/HOCKEY!!

  10. Leaving for Vegas tomorrow night, not sure I will be dropping a grand but I will be looking at a satellite at least...

    Try the Orleans Casino on Tropicana Blvd. They have pretty good tournys and affordable buy ins. Thought you'd like some local advice.

     

    Good luck. :devil:

  11.  

     

    Personally, i just hope the sabres resign zhitnik.  After all, the dude's still a UFA.

    360753[/snapback]

     

     

    Yes! Definitely try to resign him. Alex still has a great hockey sense and a workhorse full of ice time. His presence is needed on the Sabres good but not great core of D-Men. They would be wise to get him back in the fold. Z takes dumb penalties from time to time but he sure knows how to move the puck.

     

    Amerks and rookies i'm excited about include ROY, VANEK, POMINVILLE, MILLER, GAUSTAD, PAILLE, MACARTHUR and BARTOVIC. JIRI NOVOTNY at Center could be good too with time. So all in all, I'm real excited about the Sabres prospects coming up plus many of the guys they already have (BRIERE, HECHT, JP, DRURY, GRIER, KALININ, MAX)

     

    There still are some ??? marks such as SATAN?? What about Ales Kotalik? Connoly? The need to sign a Defenseman Veteran. And the biggest one of all. The three headed goalie?? MILLER, BIRON and NORONEN. They need to get rid of someone and in my opinion it is Biron. His OCT and NOV boneheadedness really hurt our playoff hopes the last 2 years. Time to go.

     

    Please get back on the ice soon because I can't stand another season of NBA, Bowling and Dart Tournaments. Thank you! :devil:

  12. ah yes, and another great philosophical debate of our time.  in fact, much greater than the Picard v Kirk debate

     

    Star Wars or Star Trek?

     

    IMO Star Wars > Star Trek

     

    Had a friend in college with a TShirt of Vadar with Lightsabre lit and a headless Federation body that read

    DIE Trekkie SCUM!!!

    See, the real fan appears!!

     

    Excellent! Know where I can pick up a shirt like that?

     

    "Give in to your anger!"

  13. ill bring bleue dry

    its 6.1% and its good

    but i cant drink too much cuz im driving straight back to mtl

    i wonder is there a way i could score some pot at the stadium

    Actually, I don't know if security has stopped this but during the early to mid '90s you could go out to the North side of the stadium (still in the game not the parking lot) and aprox right under the 50 yrd line walkway and there would be a whole slew of fans smoking that wacky tabbacky. There was lots of grass flying around for sure. So try that area during halftime and I'm sure some Buffalonian will give you a couple hits. Just don't tell them your a Canadians NHL fan and you'll do fine! HA!! Have fun you NFL stoner! :lol:
