  1. Went to Catholic school in Rochester and a big recess favorite was "King of the Hill" where one kid, or a group of kids, would shove people down the snow pile as they approached the top...being Western NY, this was a common November to March phenonium. Also big was outdoor basketball, touch football and the occasional fight, which was most often quickly broken up by the gym teacher/recess monitor. Springtime brought out the occasional water guns, but these hydro-powered weapons were very much frowned upon by the nuns in charge, if you were caught with one, it was a 25 cent fine...the same monetary penalty also applied to gum chewing, yo-yos, and playing with "clackers," the annoying balls on a string that when struck, emitted a clacking sound, hence the name.
  2. I'm sorry, at about 9:45pm that Sunday night, I did not feel "entertained."
  3. The days of the 20 game winner are over, sadly. I remember when the Orioles had four of 'em in 1971. Now you're lucky to get four 20 game winners in a decade.
  4. Pitched seven perfect innings vs. Twins today while throwing only 80 pitches...can you imagine Nolan Ryan, Bob Gibson or Greg Maddux if they were told to sit down after 80 pitches? I get the abbreviated spring training and all, but this is part of what's driving people away...I'm almost at that point.
  5. NFL: Bills Nope NHL: Sabres Nope MLB: Orioles, I remember 1970 and 1983 NBA: No favorite team since the Braves left NCAABB: Syracuse 2003 NCAAFB: I like Navy, Virginia Tech, SU and Notre Dame...Notre Dame and SU have won national championships in my lifetime but I'm not as emotional invested like I am for Bills, Sabres, Orioles.
  6. Are you sh$*#*ting me?
  7. It's just some morons picking their favorite players...I'll never understand the fascination, obsession or disgust at such lists.
  8. Sadly, I share the same baseball affliction as @Mike in Horseheads
  9. I'll root for the Yankees when they play Al-Qaeda...
  10. I thought the title of this post was "Best" Bills Games Ever???? Good gawd, this game was an abomination. If you're making a list of "Games that pulled your heart out and stomped on it," then yes, I would include this one. As a Bills fan, I will never refer to this as a "great game." FFS, in my mind, the game never happened.
  11. I was there, stormed the field and took part in the revelry. One thing other than the victory that stands out was how damn hot it was that day! A real late summer scorcher.
  12. Awful scene. Six now confirmed dead.
  13. The acquisition by AT&T killed what was once a good company with good customer service. Now that they're off the AT&T tit, hopefully some of that service will return. I'm still with them, reluctantly and only because of ST, but my account still goes through AT&T website. Hell knows when that will be resolved.
  14. I use ADIOS to start most times.
  15. Correct, this is the last season DTV has exclusivity. Also, sounds like NFL is down to Amazon and Apple+ to be their streaming partner starting in 2023...announcement on that could come soon.
  16. Wouldn't the footprint move him out?
  17. Regarding the Raiders: How much does a PSL cost? The price will vary, but expect to spend at least $500-$1,000 per PSL. In that price range, you will likely sit in the last few rows of the upper deck in an end zone seat. If you want seats 25 rows from the field on the 50-yard line, start saving your money now — the Atlanta Falcons sold those PSLs for $45,000 per seat, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which opens this season. At an average cost of $4,000 per PSL, the Raiders plan to raise at least $250 million toward building the new 65,000-seat stadium. https://lasvegassun.com/news/2017/aug/24/faq-psls-personal-seat-licenses-raiders-stadium/#:~:text=How much does a PSL,in an end zone seat.
  18. 2026 opening? Hopefully it will be against Tom Brady and the Dolphins.
  19. RIP Hammer's Lot
  20. "The House That Josh Built"
  21. Front Office Sports??? Just another social media gnat out there playing click bait. Nothing to see here.
  22. I grew up there...no R...Sha - LOT.
  23. I'll say 8 with 3 night practices.
  24. The older I get, I like the warm weather games too, but I was at this one, and it wasn't warm, it was scorching hot!
  25. Ah, thought it was CBC...I sit corrected.
