  1. Quote: Henry, who recently pleaded guilty to a federal drug charge, isn't current with any of his child-support payments, which are estimated to total $15,000 a month.

     

    And he is broke.

     

    "Right now, there's nothing," said Randy Kessler, Henry's high-profile Atlanta lawyer.

    Among his assets at the time: a $100,000 Mercedes, $25,000 Cadillac Escalade and $50,000 in jewelry.

    He had some hefty liabilities, too, including more than $100,000 owed to lawyers and $140,000 due a jeweler.

     

    "It's a typical catastrophe," Kessler said of Henry's situation. "People who are young who make a lot of money sometimes don't plan well enough in advance."

     

    What amazes me most is that all these women are no smarter than TH. The truely sad aspect is that all these children are likely relegated to a life of poverty..

     

    So grim.

  2. Nothing to see here, Folks. Move along..

     

    It would be great if Bell can man the takle spot, but otherwise we're all hoping/expecting Stevie J, McCargo, McKelvin, Corner and Trent to deliver. As for Fine/Schouman, given the uncertainty on the OL, we'll likely need additional blocking there. A TE who is a pass-catching threat will probably remain a wet dream for this team at least into the 2010 season..

  3. The weather reverses to become a big plus in the late spring, the summer, and the early fall. This is not merely subjective opinion but meterological fact.

     

    Just as Alaska is called the land of the midnight sun simply because it is further north and gets more sunlight around June 21, So to with Buffalo as there is more raw sunlight here than in many Sunbelt cities approaching, during and after the Summer Solstice (for about 4-5 months of the year Buffalo is the sunniest city in the NE,

    While Sunbelt climes like Fla, DC, NO and ATL are sweltering with the humidity and the temperature both striving for triple digits, it is a very rare day it hits 90 here, and often there ie air conditioning from the lake.

     

     

    Buffalo gets dumped on by snow, but the added moisture also warms the temperature and single digits in Buffalo are rare.

     

    Sorry D&C, but this is just silly and adds to the percieved fobias of WNYer's 'us against the world' menatlity. Virtually all of us here are from the area and we all know sunglasses are a rarely used accessory to our wardrobe. When Spring finally arrives, we all walk around like moles rubbing and sheilding our eyes from that rare, terrible floodlight disturbance in the sky. I'm in daily contact with family & friends there and a quick check of the area's current weather shows it's in the freakin' 40's there every morning! 40's!! In late June! Back in '95, there were 11 straight weekends of rain from late June into August, effectively wiping out the entire year! We moved to Fla the next Spring. We're all from there. We love it there. But the weather SUCKS!

  4. All that you touch

    All that you see

    All that you taste

    All you feel.

    All that you love

    All that you hate

    All you distrust

    All you save.

    All that you give

    All that you deal

    All that you buy,

    beg, borrow or steal.

    All you create

    All you destroy

    All that you do

    All that you say.

    All that you eat

    And everyone you meet

    All that you slight

    And everyone you fight.

    All that is now

    All that is gone

    All that's to come

    and everything under the sun is in tune

    but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

     

    "There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark."

  5. Any and all websites sell them, from authentic to replicas. Priceing ranges accordingly. As for whom or what number, many of us have bought current players jerseys over the years, only to feel stupid about it well before the jersey wears out. I recommend going with a throwback (current or future whites) and pick a player from a bygone era. They're the only ones you know for sure about their Bills legacy. i.e. Chandler#81

  6. If you have the means, and you want to, do it. I moved away in 2001. Someday I'll be back.

     

     

    I know PLENTY of people who have moved away and then moved backed. Buffalo is a great place to live, but I think it is important to get away for a while and experience life away from WNY.

     

    I agree. For the first 15 years after my Marine Corp hitch, I kept coming back to WNY when construction jobs ended. Both our kids were born there as well. But after the 100 yr. old company I worked for in Dansville shut down -went to China-, we decided we'd had enough of the TOOOO long winters and headed for Florida. As many here are aware, our kids -and us for that matter- wore halloween costumes 3X too big, just to fit over winter parka's and the snow & cold runs through May. Now in TN, we get all 4 seasons with a very mild winter -a couple 'dustings' a year. Our collective heart is and always will be in WNY, but we opt to live in better climate. Ridiculous NYS taxes nothwithstanding, it's the weather that keeps us away.

     

    Best wishes with your choice.

  7. I hate the preseason games. I hate how starters are treated with kid gloves like they have mastered something and then play like crap at the start of the season. I hate the excuses that we hear about how when they "game plan" they will perform better. I hate how much time and energy is devoted to determining the last 5 roster spots and how the NFL charges inseason prices to attend. I could go on but...............

     

    Call me a Kool Aid drinker if yoy like, but I am actually eager to watch them this year.

     

    :wallbash:

     

    Preseason is important for the practice during the week -only. The 'games' mostly feature non-starters trying to make an impression and stick with the club. Playing starters in an all-out way during pre-season leads to one thing -injuries, which will de-rail the season. This year we have 60 more minutes of this fear than usual. Game one @ NE* is when the no-huddle and new look D get showcased.

  8. Would you feel better if Maybin was quoted saying something like "Holy sh--, I am in way over my head. I am not sure if I will be able to handle this pro game thing. It was so much easier at Penn State. The guys here, in the NFL are so much bigger and faster, and I am so undersized, I hope nobody expects anything out of me for at least two or three years. I mean, I have confidence, but everyone else says I am not too impressive...I guess they are probably right..."

     

    :wallbash:

     

    Yes, thanks, I feel a whole lot better..

  9. I actually agree on this, while I am not advocating wasting draft picks on more DBs...you do need to make each attempt possible to make sure you have the best players you can get on your team; simply bringing in a CB to workout is no harm/no foul...

     

    Or it could be a case of just a slow Tuesday at OBD.. "nothin' to do?, bring in a DB.."

  10. White '66 Mustang convertible. Just gorgeous! Had it less than a week when some morons in East Amherst stole a 10 speed bike and were being chased by the homeowner as they blew through a stop sign at a blind intersection.

     

    A stop sign that I didn't have... :thumbsup:

  11. The testosterone babies of today would shiit bricks if they lined up accross some of the mad men loonies of yesteryear.

     

    Agreed. Given the sieve that J Peters was last season, how would he have handled Deacon Jones, Bubba Smith, Ben Davidson, Alex Karras and Chuck Bednarik on consecutive weeks? By Thanksgiving, Edwards, Losman and the Chroise would all have broken legs, shoulders, arms and jaws and Ralph would be scrambling to find the phone number of Ed Rutkowski.. :thumbsup:

  12. I dont know how long the contract is for, but the UFL will be shown on Versus (in HD no less) for the upcoming season.

     

    Thank you. I haven't seen much about it. Are their rules consistant with the NFL? Any goofy schiit involved like a rouge or more/less than 11 players on the field? Pay scales?

  13. Two teams from the 50's? What a joke! I'm all for sports nostalgia, but let's not pretend like the old-timers could even sniff the jock of today's players. I know, I know, the game is different now, weight programs, training tables, blah blah...but that's exactly my point, it's comparing apples to oranges. Don't belong on the list, regardless of their accomplishments.

     

    Gotta take you to task on this one, Cat. The Colts of the late '50's had Raymond Berry, Tom Matte and some guy named Unitas. All in the Hall and they played well into the 60's and beyond. True legends of any era, they accomplished their feats in a MUCH togher game than todays'. The earlier '50's Rams had Bob Waterfield, Elroy Hersch, Tom Fears and Tank Yonger. Truely the offensive class of the league. Scored at will and from anywhere.

     

    I think the '84 Dolphins have no place here except for Marino's arm. He's the only HOFer from that offense -minus a lineman or two..

  14. Show me a picture of Dick Jauron with his pants dropped, aiming his ass at the players on his team, and I will show you a picture of the next Super Bowl winning coach... :thumbsup:

     

    Jeez! No thanks! The visual of that image makes me want to :thumbsup:

     

    :D
