At least one of those 3 had been with the Bills since the '80's, so he's also been a part of some very good drafts as well.

"Man, that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that." and to the latter: "You can never go home again, Altman, but you can shop there."

Two dollars! I want my two dollars!

My choice is The Breakfast Club. But Better Off Dead ranks up there with Fast Times at Ridgemont High & Sixteen Candles.

So how long until that becomes a Southwest "wanna get away" commercial?

Agreed. Correct. New episodes restart 1 week from Monday. This Monday they're running a season 3 (to date) marathon.

Good catch on the 52. But like K9 stated above, pretty sure this series started in '02. (Even though that makes it appear that Howard can't do basic math. Though maybe the scotch was bottled at the end of '66 & they're still in mid-'02. Coukdn't read the date on Hector's newspaper. )

Oh, where to start? To the 1st bolded: please show me ANY post I made in that thread, or any other, that said I didn't like Brandon because of what he said to my friends. You've REPEATEDLY made that assertation and I have repeatedly asked you for support of it. You have yet to provide any. Once again, you are confusing who has said what. Apparently in an attempt to (falsely) demonstrate that you are the true supporter of Buffalo teams and all others are haters. The the 2nd bolded: did you not state ; and in response to MayDay 10 did you not state: . Our bad for assuming that when you said Brandon did something 100% on his own & the idea to do it could have come from anywhere that you actually meant he followed Ralph Wilson's wishes. The the 3rd bolded: PLEASE show me ANY POST OF MINE that states that Brandon deserves NO CREDIT for the lease negotiation. Once again, you can't because you're making stuff up to argue against points that haven't been made. And ttbomk this is the 1st time that you have nuanced what your impression of Russ' work on the negotiations entailed. To the 4th bolded: YOU continue to make assumptions. I stated that a business decision outweighed a hockey decision. You read more into that than what it was for whatever reason you might have. You then tried to come up with reasons WHY the business decision MIGHT have outweighed the hockey decision. Regardless of the rationale behind it, it was simply an example of Brandon Toronto series-ing the Sabres. And as Gordio states, WHY should the Sabres agree to give up a home game to meet the Rags needs? There don't appear to be any other chumps jumping on that offer. The business ($$$) side outweighed the hockey side on that call. And that stinks. And to your last sentence: did you actually read what you wrote? You actually asked why we are hanging a decision he was in position to make (giving up a home game) because we don't want him involved in those decisions. WTF?

3 thoughts: 1. REALLY hoping that she just got tongue-tied in that meeting but if not, holy cow what an idjit. 2. This is an example of how good we have it in this country. If this is what constitutes a problem, we're doing alright. 3. Glad that isn't the school in Michigan my kid goes to.

What are these 'facts' to which you are referring? The only fact that seems to be apparent is that you apparently have reading comprehension issues, not the least of which is an inability to differentiate different points from different authors. You have accused me of being spiteful of Russ Brandon apparently due to his treatment of my friends. Do you care to provide any support for those accusations? You also in your previous few posts appear to be championing the idea that Russ Brandon put the "poison pill" in the last lease on his own volition and against the Wilsons' best interest. This is a ludicrous position. If this isn't your position, could you please clarifiy how you reconcile Russ' apparent complete authority on negotiating in the Wilsons best interest AND putting in a clause that should Ralph pass away while the lease was still in the 1st couple of years that would lower the value of his estate UNLESS that is WHAT THE WILSONS WANTED HIM TO DO? As to my views on Russ Brandon, I have made them abundently clear through the years. I believe he should have no input on football, hockey, or lacrosse matters and that as a fan I want those departments to have the ability to overrule the business side of things rather than the opposite. Should that be the case, I have no problem with Brandon continuing his role in PSE & subsidiaries. I been VERY consistent in that opinion through the years. Playing a home hockey game in NYC shows that business still takes precedence over hockey. As that is the case, I'd prefer to see him out of that operation. I have also been consistent in that opinion through the years. I have no illusions nor expectations that it will happen as it looks like he makes money for the Pegulas. Again, this position has also been consistent. Exactly.

Gee, no conjecture in the bolded is there?

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.

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. ]

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?

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.

Mom - Carla Tortelli-Lebec. She cranked 'em out like no other. Dad, in a close vote, Dr. Huxtable beats out Francis Furillo.

He's a mean guy to my pals? WTF are you talking about?

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.

And don't think for a second the the team president didn't wrangle some concession along this line to sell out his fans.

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. )

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.
