  1. Wait a second. Are you trying to say that Brandon put in the "poison pill" on his own and not at the Wilsons' urging? It was very well known that Wilson wanted the team to stay in Buffalo. He considered the community his second home.
  2. Each season doesn't take a full year. The Breaking Bad timeline started w/ Walt getting his 50th birthday breakfast & ended w/ him having his 51st 52nd one. I'd thought it was 2002 for the start of this one but did hear Howard say the '66 was 35 yo. No way its taken 2 years to get from season 1 episode 1 to last night's episode so really doubt it started in '99 (except in flashbacks to Chicago which were likely earlier than that). Interesting to see that Lydia & Gus were working together back then. And it looks like Gus/Mike have a year to convince Jimmy to stay Saul when he'svallowed to practice again. Slow episode but set up a lot of stuff to happen moving forward. Wonder if Gale will show up to doctor Hector's pill & put him in the wheel chair? [Edit: Thanks to those that caught BB ending right after Walt's 52nd B-day rather than his 51st. ]
  3. Couldn't get the link to open. Is she afraid members of the groups she targeted will want to kill her, the people she did the targeting for want to kill her, or both?
  4. As a kid, wanted to be one. Found out that that kids working at Burger King did slightly better per hour & that was the end of that dream.
  5. Mom - Carla Tortelli-Lebec. She cranked 'em out like no other. Dad, in a close vote, Dr. Huxtable beats out Francis Furillo.
  6. He's a mean guy to my pals? WTF are you talking about?
  7. Don't worry, Mr. Scalper, w/ Russ at the helm it'll only be a short matter of time until your ST's are profitable again.
  8. And don't think for a second the the team president didn't wrangle some concession along this line to sell out his fans.
  9. Says the guy who only likes candy if it has peanut butter in it. (Excepting the Snickers, of course, which has the precursors to peanut butter in it. )
  10. My issue is they are giving up home ice advantage in a season they will be battling for one of the last playoff spots. If this ends up essentially throwing 2 points away, how badly will it end up biting them in the behind? Those 2 points could literally be the difference between a playoff birth & an early golf outing. I hate that the business department oversees hockey & not the other way 'round.
  11. Who was the Bills team president that thought playing home games in another city for $'s was a good idea? Who is the Sabres team president? Why if losing home field advantage for 12.5% of your home games for $'s wasn't a big deal would losing ~2.4% of your home games for $'s AND exposure be a big deal? Thanks, Russ.
  12. You SERIOUSLY believe the media didn't want Mrs Clinton as our current president? If that is true, could you please tell us what color the sky is in your world?
  13. Yep. 'Cause if he doesn't, they're hosed.
  14. Mars bar is best. Snickers 2nd. But my favorite was Mallo Cup. Save the "change" & send it in for free ones!
  15. To pay for health care, which takes up ~17% of the economy, you're going to raise taxes ~2%? Something seems to be missing here.
  16. Well, at least they've got a good shot at a QB next year. After Gilmore walked, they needed a CB this year. So, WR2 replacing Woods in round 2?
  17. One would expect that things that "could never happen" such as Trump beating Hillary would cause some of these professors to rethink their "it's ok to stifle free speech if it's being done for the right reasons" views as whoever is in power will determine just which are the "right reasons." But yet they never seem to get there. It was also kind of surprising (though it probably shouldn't have been) that he believes that suppressing in person free speech is ok because conflicting viewpoints can be found on the internet. Could someone please explian the logic of that?
  18. Your demonstrating your inability to count to 52 occurred years ago? You're worse at telling time than you've initially let on.
  19. It should've made him laugh about 40 times harder. Have to go w/ "about" as, based on his calculation on how many weeks there are in the year, it is very unlikely he can figure out how many times 4 goes into 160.
  20. Season opener in '80. We were up in the nosebleeds & a section of the goalposts made it up to where we were. They wanted to throw it over the back of the stadium but security wouldn't let them, so it just got left up there. Got to touch that post. Saw another section carried by about 10 guys outside the stadium in the concourse. Not sure how they got it out, but they did. The 'let it snow' game. As soon as the snow started to fall, the Fish quit. Shula's last game as a head coach. Tinsdale had the game of his life & everybody was heckling Cox. September 24, 1989 - Bills 47 Eulers 41. 5 TD passes by Kelly. Kelso ended the 1st 1/2 w/ a TD return of a blocked field goal. Reed got whirlibirded on the Houston 2 & held onto the ball. Early in OT Talley forced a fumble by destroying an Euler but the refs blew the play dead for forward progress. Zendejas missed a FG at the end of that drive & Reed scored the game winner on the next drive. Been to some other cool ones, but those were my personal favorites.
  21. Would be surprised if anybody on this board is older than Millbank.
