  1. Finally saw it yesterday (kids are home from college, so we waited to go) and saw that in the end credits crawl but hadn't caught that in the scene w/ the Collector. Will have to look for it whenit's out on BluRay. When 1/2 the people started vanishing you could've heard a pin drop. Surprised that it seemed everyone in the theater was just watching the movie for the 1st time, but guess they were. Agree on the "NOT SPIDERMAN, TOO!"
  2. It's sad. This woman EXPECTED that the police officer wanted to mess with her & because of that, she heard not what the officer said but what she expected him to say and do. To me, that is a microcosm of the most unfortunate part of 44's legacy. Rather than celebrate how much better race relations have gotten within his lifetime - a black man certainly was not going to be elected President when he was born but we've moved so far that he WAS elected President - while still acknowledging that there is still room for improvement; his supporters have focused on what remains to be done while minimizing what has been accomplished to such an extent that this woman misinterpreted the situation so completely that she expected to get lynched. Really was hoping that after 2008 we'd've been able to enter a "post racial" era. Not even close. Which is truly a shame because we had a great opportunity. People do not get lynched for simply going 15 mph over the speed limit if they respond to the situation by being calm and respectful of the police officer that pulled them over. That they expect to get lynched is a travesty. Fortunately, she did remain rather calm & respectful on the outside, and no situation arose while the 2 were in contact. Watching the body cam version it appears she handled her encounter better than EII describes his contacts w/ the police. Would be cool if that could get a wider distribution and show people that even though you might be nervous, you really can get through an encounter w/ the police without getting shot. (Not a chance of that being the lesson learned from this. )
  3. Wrong. They were 14-2 with both losses coming in the regular season finale with a lot of the starters resting as home field was already clinched in '90 & '91. Andit took OT for the playoff bound Lions to win their game. That 1 still sticksin Ditka's craw. Including the 4 Super Bowl losses, the Bills were 10-6 vs the NFC those 4 years. Darn shame Talley played SB XXV w/ only 1 good arm. Probably could've stopped at least 1 3rd & forever conversion which probably would've been enough to win it. Also stinks that McKeller's obvious catch on the final drive was reviewed. Cost the Bills at least 7 seconds. Could've been the 1 extra play they needed to get the 7 yards to make it a 40 yard attempt.
  4. You think he has an inflamed gator? Ewww. That seems painful. (Both catching the gator and having it inflame.)
  5. She supports whatever is politically expedient. Always has, always will. That she turned on an ally in what seemed a matter of minutes was par for the course.
  6. Will have to look closer at the NYS Constitution. Not sure where or why it is written that we can only elect scumbags as our state AG. But that MUST be the law because we seem to follow it religiously.
  7. Not terribly surprising that Gillibrand was one of Schneiderman's critics calling for him to resign.
  8. No ####ing way! Saw the EXACT SAME THING last Thursday in Michigan. It's a conspiracy! They're organizing (in an extremely random, disorganized way). 'Cept the 1 in Michigan was atop a typical 3 wire fence around a farmer's field.
  9. Until this 7 season stretch started, the Sabres have been top 3-4 in team winning percentage throughout their history. A lot of that's due to the '75-'80 teams being the 2nd best team in the league. There was a lot of talent in those early years, and evenin that 10 year drought that they couldn't win a playoff series they were only sub-0.500 one time - the year that let them draft Turgeon. In '89 they had the 3rd best record in the entire league & had to play the team w/ the 4th best record in the 1st round; during a season that 16 out of 21 made the playoffs.
  10. Is it any surprise that a guy as self centered as one that would be suspended by the league over events he put in motion in a night club bathroom would be upset that the team was looking at the long range picture rather than what specifically would benefit him the most?
  11. Heck, he sold a Sabres home game to the Rangers THIS season. He TOTALLY botched the marketing for the WJC in Buffalo this past year. Great marketing Mr Wile E. Coyote Supra Marketing Genius. Very glad he's gone.
  12. Hated having him involved in Bills upper management. Hated having him named Sabres team president. This is a good day for Buffalo sports fans.
  13. That would be Retatta.
  14. Oh yeah. Definitely glad "ol' sugar packets" Golisano bought 'em. Even with how bad 7/1/7 was it was better than having the Yotes at best.
  15. Had Hammister gotten the team it is possible theymay have moved on. He was SERIOUSLY undercapitalized. Can't see him having had a way to keep above water w/ the lockout only 1 full year after he'd've gotten them.
  16. Will hold off the celebration until the docs are signed & then troops start coming home; but 45 hasn't been wrong on many (any?) of these tweets. Again, happy f###ing Friday!
  17. GERMANY says the Iran deal won't prevent Iran from getting nukes? Happy f###ing Friday!
  18. Do his responses ever have a greater correlation w/ the OP than a coin flip would?
  19. Yeah. They definitely had been well trained. Never escalated their response nor voices & just let the "Commissioner" continue to dig her hole deeper. Impressive.
  20. SDS, It's all good. Thanks for setting this place up.
  21. So not picking Rosen only Rosened the board for 20 minutes. Guess that's a good thing.
  22. Yes!!!!!! Rosen! Wait. WHAT!!!!!
  23. Wait a sec. When we have 1 Rosen, the board crashes; but adding a 2nd will be trouble free?
  24. But nothing is different in the world today.
