Bad Things

Flying back to the US for 4 weeks in late July. It's been 8 years since I've been back there. (Colorado, Rochester, Adirondacks, High School reunion, then 5 days in the California Redwoods before I fly back to New Zealand.) I really hope to attend a practice at Bills training camp if things work out. Let's go Buffalo!

I agree that him getting back on the plane was bizarre, but that isn't the issue. The issue was that the airline decided that the only way to solve this issue was to forcibly remove a paying customer from their plane, after doing nothing wrong. You think he should've been tased or maced? C'mon. How else could this have been diffused? Hmmm... maybe they could've kept on upping the offer for anyone to leave the plane until someone actually accepts the offer? Let's just imagine for a moment that this 69-year-old man, was your 69-year-old grandmother. Let's say that United asked her to leave the plane, and she's no, because of one reason or another. Would you honestly think it would be ok for a cop of grab her and drag her down the aisle, off of the plane??

Lost in all of this, is that he is a 69 year old man. Who does that to an old man? I mean, was there no other way to diffuse the situation? Yeah, he acted like a f-wit, but it all started with the A-hole cop, who is now suspended.

This actually made the national news down here in New Zealand. Way to go, United Airlines! I haven't watched the video, but I can't believe some of you guys are sticking up for the airline. What kind of bizzaro world are you living in? This guy paid for his flight. Received a boarding pass. Entered the plane and sat down in his assigned seat. Case closed.

Wow. Small world. I'm also originally from Webster and did the exact same thing. Cruising on up to the Ames store on my kick-ass Schwinn, to check out toys and sporting goods. Were you around when the Ames store was first a "Big N"? How about the Star Market (Then Apples) next door?

No. Our current uniforms are fantastic just how they are.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Nate was The Man, back in the day. Gilmore? c'mon. Not even close.

Way too many to list. There's an embarrassing amount of crap out there.

No way in hell would I be supporting them.

Great post. Thanks for that.

It's gotta be Maybin

Thanks for that, guys. Much appreciated. Yeah, I'll be flying Air New Zealand to and from the US. Definitely my favourite airline. At this point, I still need to book LAX-Denver, Denver-Rochester, Rochester-San Francisco. Maybe I'll be able to meet some of you at Training Camp! Lets go, Buffalo!!

G'day guys, I'll be flying back to America sometime this summer and was hoping to get some advice on which are the good US airlines to use. It's been 7-8 years since I've been back there. The last time I was there I was taken aback by how crappy certain airlines had become, but I know a lot could have changed in those years. That said, I have multiple stops planned on my trip back there, and I really don't want to get stuck with a crappy airline. What airlines would you recommend? What airlines would you recommend me avoiding? Let's go Buffalo!

To be very honest, I don't really know a thing about this kid but decided to watch a highlight video, because of this thread. I gotta say... this kid looks completely looks like he has an incredible feel for the game, in addition to a stellar arm. I wouldn't complain at all if we chose him in the first. Let's go Buffalo!

I bought a good set of Klipsch headphones a couple years ago, and love them.

Sorry to be a jerk, but good riddance.

All the best to you, Marcus!

Cheers for that, Bandit!
