  1. When I was in Buffalo (Hamburg actually) for my cousin's funeral a couple weeks ago, the cell phone coverage was terrible. It seemed like everywhere I went I had to go outside or stand in a certain place in the house to get a signal.

  2. "Our club has spent a lot of time on this thing - in research trying to solve these problems," Wilson said. "We discovered that last year the six smallest market clubs had higher television audiences than the six high-revenue clubs. There's your answer."

     

    Wilson was referring to total viewership for Sunday and Monday night prime-time games last season. He said the six smallest markets outdrew the six largest in total viewers, not just percentage of households watching.

     

    Washington, New England, Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, Denver and Cleveland are among the highest earning clubs in the league.

     

    That's a pretty interesting fact. However, look at the top six teams. Only 2 of those teams are actually contenders and the others are either terrible or very mediocre. Indy was the least profitable team and had the biggest story of the season in Peyton Manning. I don't think it really matters what size the tv market is, as it does how entertaining the team actually is. Ralph is right on though, the owners need to get on the same page.

  3. I remember when the Bills drafted him -- the experts called it a big risk because of the knee injury Thurman Thomas had in college.

     

    Some risk  :doh:

    I hope the last running back we drafted that they said that about turns out as good as Thurman did. :o Congrats to TT, he was my favorite when I was a kid.

  4. Rick James- See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and grind my feet on somebody's couch like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense then that.

    [pause]

    Yeah, I remember grinding my feet on Eddie's couch. :lol::lol::D:lol:

     

    They need to get it together, Chappelle's Show has been gone too long.

  5. Well, it was over 15 years ago! Now, the most I have to drink is when I visit all the relatives and friends in Buffalo. They all offer me several beers while I'm at their house.

     

    I think that's everybody's family up there. I was home last weekend for my cousin's funeral and everywhere we went somebody offered me beer. <_< All I get down here in NC is a water or iced tea...Southern Hospitality is overrated.

  6. How does a coach of the year not get another job in the NHL??? Can anyone explain this to me??? Most of his players would run through a wall for him (except our Czech goalie), and he just never is given a shot again??? Something funny is going on. Insanity. Another reason why the NHL is a garbage league right now.

     

    It has a lot to do with the fact he won't accept a job as an assistant. The guy was a GM killer with Muckler and that goes a long way too. Glad he got a job finally. The guy deserves another shot.

  7. I wasn't totally sure how to handle this last Wednesday when I got called in Greensboro, but Jake was my cousin. I was in Buffalo from Saturday until last night trying to support my Aunt Amy and his wife Ashlie as much as I can. The funeral plans were only being put on wait because we were waiting for Jake's remains to arrive from overseas and they are finalized now. The Pfister, MacGregor and Morrissey families are very appreciative of all the prayers and support they have recieved.
