SectionC3

The fake was cr*p call. You mean to tell me that you have better odds of picking up 3 yards running a Mularkey special than you do with your offense? Even if you're afraid to throw the ball there, it's better to roll the dice with the run, particularly inasmuch as Willis averaged 5-ish yards a carry today. Same thing goes for the Mularkey-esque call on the goal line. Two downs to pick up five feet and we run that bogus boot and lose 8 yards. Unbelievable. I really like the new coaching staff; there's a sense of maturity, accountability and reason around here for the first time in years. That staff, though, did not have a great game today.

20 to 390 in Avon is much further than 20 to 63 to 390 in Geneseo. Tried it that way.

Is Basher still running the IB?

I live less than 10 minutes from the Stadium in West Seneca and went to college at Geneseo. If you want the quickest way to the 390 out there from the Ralph, try this: Rt 20 E (Southwestern Blvd) out of the Stadium Turn L onto Rt 277 (Union Rd) in OP Head N on 277 (Union) until you reach Clinton Street (Rt 354) in West Seneca. Approx 7 minutes. R on Clinton (Rt 354). Continue for approx 15 minutes into Elma L on Schwartz Road. I think there is a church on the far right corner of this intersection. Check it out on Google and you'll see there are a lot of roads you can take N from Clinton to Rt 20. I used to take Schwartz because it was recently repaved at that time. R on Rt 20 from Schwartz. There might not be a sign indicating that it's Rt 20, but it's the busy road you hit after being on Schwartz for a few minutes. Take Rt. 20 out to 63. R on 63, continue through to Geneseo. You'll hit 20A eventually. Continue on 63 S until you hit the 390. I used to come back to from Geneseo on 20, 20A, Clinton St., the thruway, etc. This is the best way.

This is a good point. Let's think about this logically for a minute or two. The teams most likely to be mentioned in any relocation conversation are the Saints, the Bills and the Jaguars. For reasons that require no review, New Orleans is the logical and most likely candidate to fill the Los Angeles void. Moreover, Buffalo has a couple of things going for it that may not yet have been mentioned: 1. Market size. Granted, Canadian citizens have no bearing on US television market rankings. However, Buffalo is strategically located within an hour and a half drive of the greater Toronto area (Canadians, help me out, population of 4 million plus?) and is well within reach of the more affluent areas of Rochester. Any new stadium should not be located in Batavia; rather, that facility should be positioned to provide greater accessibliity for residents of the Horseshoe and of the Flower City. Neither New Orleans nor Jacksonville can draw from that sort of population base. 2. Eliot Spitzer. Will he be a good governor? Time will tell. His runaway numbers, have, however, discouraged a certain Rochester billionaire from spending $100 million of his personal funds on political activities this spring and summer. One wonders if those funds could serve BTG well elsewhere . . . .

Maybe somebody could help me out with this: I read the Web site very quickly and noticed that one of the components of the plan called for "the players," namely a wet-behind-the-ears insurance agent and two other unidentified parties, to control 15% of the stock of the proposed corporation. Given that the proposed IPO calls for 10 million shares to be issued at a price of $100 per share, that indicates that either (1) these guys have, collectively, a cool $150 million stashed in the freezer; or (2) the above-quoted numbers are a bit askew and they somehow expect to control 15% of a billion dollar corporation in exchange for proposing this idea. The idea of a community-owned team, or at least a team controlled by a corporation funded largely by non-voting stockholders is interesting. This idea, however, is a pipe dream (and that's putting it politely). One more tip for the players: Unless you're worried about potential criminal liability, EC District Attorney Frank Clark probably has no interest in this scheme.

As absurd as this sounds, there is at least a small possibility that this info is legit. Let me qualify by saying that WGR is likely guessing on this one (similar to the Flutie situation), BUT (1) they did pull the "pilot" line from the story (possibly to protect the source?); (2) their Bills sources have, in the past, been secretaries or relatives of players or those connected to the organization; and (3) there is a slight chance that Cap'n Bob Masse might have been the charter pilot and passed the info to one of the few competent people at the station (this is not a joke).

Don't take this the wrong way, but you have to get there to lose the games. The plethora of openings coupled with our frugal owner means we're not likely to get a coach with better credentials than Schottenheimer.

I hate to be the guy to rain on the parade, but Marv's statement doesn't necessarily imply anything. Taken at face value, he said 2 of the 32 teams in the NFL have contacted him re: working in a football-related capacity. One of them is not the Bills. No comment was made as to whether the second team is or is not the Bills. All it means is that a team other than the Bills has contacted him about a possible return to the league. We're inferring that the second interested team is the Bills. Marv is a pretty shrewd guy. While his statement doesn't preclude the theory that the Bills have expressed interest in his services, he may well have chosen his words carefully to drum up this kind of interest and, for lack of a more artful way of putting it, incited the masses to talk about and perhaps clamor for his return.

The length of the ball accounts for the difference in field position on change in position. The back end of the ball on fourth down is the front end of the ball on first down.

Actually, the Weis move has made for good business. The Alamo Bowl or whatever mid-level bowl game the Irish have participated in over the last few seasons probably pays no more than $2 or $3 million; conversely, the BCS payoff is in the neighborhood of $10 million. On top of that, the TV deal with NBC is still viable and probably even more attractive.

Here's a few more: Found liable by preponderance of the evidence in a civil matter.

OJ deserves whatever verbal abuse or otherwise he gets. There is no distinction between OJ the person and OJ the player; both are double-murderers. I sat in section 130 on Sunday and couldn't observe the reaction because I was very close to the field, but the tenor of the response and craned necks was such that I thought people viewed the man as a sideshow but did not evince outward support. In my view, there is a big difference between an alcoholic who admits his faults and works to help others and a man who murders the mother of his children. At least now OJ can cross the dugout suites at the Ralph off as potential locations for the "real killer(s)."

I think there was a Houston MNF game back in the day that was also blacked out. Those days were a little before my time, though -

I live in WS off of East & West near Union. Joe has some good advice: Park in Drive 5 (off of Route 20/ aka Southwestern Blvd.) and take 20 to either 277 (Union) or Transit Road (I think it's 78) and shoot up to the airport from there. Don't bother with the Thruway or 219 after the game; both the Union route and the Transit route are faster.

Let me preface my two cents by saying that I can't stand GR or the way they do business . . . . (particularly the recent PM drive hosts, with the exception of Bulldog, who is a very nice guy). Hamilton should be given a little slack. The man knows hockey (played at Iowa State, I believe, and skated in camp with the 1980 US Olympic team). Moreover, he's not a bombthrower or reactionary type and doesn't adhere to the Coach's m.o. of setting a team up to fail. While I agree that GR is generally a joke, I feel compelled to say that Hamilton is more likely than not merely expressing his opinion.

If you have to solicit advice as to a major decision such as this from posters on an Internet message board, it might be time to fold your hand and go home. That said, I'm a recent law school grad and can relate to what you're going through. Things began to make a lot more sense and, with the exception of Civ Pro, became a lot more interesting after October of the first year. Good luck.

I've lived in both Roch and Buffalo - Rochester is an oustanding place for families - particularly on the "east" side, but there's not too much going on at night. That said, like anywhere else, the experience is what you make of it, and if you can find ways to enjoy some great restaurants and appreciate certain outdoor activities (the surrounding area is incredible), you will enjoy it greatly. I prefer Buffalo, but Rochester is very viable alternative and can certainly keep you busy. One disclaimer - this is not the place you want to be without a car.

That might be part of it, but for all practical purposes, it was impossible to extend the metro to North Campus because (in layman's terms and as best I understand) the rock was too thick through the Millersport area and impossible to blast through without damaging the surrounding area.

The law school is in Amherst - one of the safest municipalities in the nation. Great location and a great school at an outstanding price. There is no reason to hesitate -
