  1. Wow! These are great, almost macnmotion quality! These pictures and reports are like crack...keep 'em coming! (Who was the poster that use to roll that line out every training camp?)
  2. Looks like they're about 3 years behind the times with other "stars" too...you can even get a Michael Vick jersey!
  3. I threw out everything but the magnet. It's a little bigger than a postage stamp. Big whoop. Wonder what it cost DTV to print and mail this useless dribble?
  4. My question is, when did Tiki Barber become a political analyst?
  5. What a great idea! Events like this is when I really miss WNY....
  6. We've had two snake incidents at our neighborhood pool this summer...black snakes, relatively harmless, but still about six feet long and mean as all get out. One was right outside the fence, later came in the kiddie pool area, then took a swim in the adult pool. He was quickly beheaded by a brave member. A couple of weeks ago, a black snake coiled himself up in the pipe above the men's room shower. He was quickly shown the door and chopped up as well.
  7. I hope you're right....
  8. Two Friday nights down here in DC...ahhhhh, the beer's gonna be cold!
  9. Not me...I went to the game last December and being that everything at Danny's Place is over-the-top pricewise, even in the preseason, (tickets, parking, beer) I'll be watching this from home on Ch. 9 in HD.
  10. More importantly, what if the Bills find themselves with 2000 tickets to move for Seattle, only a little more than two weeks before the game, and after they told everyone in the Free World that the game was "sold out?"
  11. Soooo...how are the Bills selling these Kids Day tickets without affecting the season ticket campaign? When I was upstate a couple of weeks ago, I saw a poster at my father-in-law's school advertising Kids Day tickets ($10/kids, $40/adults)...say someone ordered 4 kids and 2 adult tix, aren't those seats now out of the season ticket circulation, thus opening 6 tickets for individual game sales? Were those tickets sold to the STHers as part of the pre-sale? I know I sound like an old wind bag on this subject, but this whole season ticket campaign has me miffed.
  12. Former Senator Gary Hart already has a call in to Donna Rice and the Captain of the “Monkey Business”…
  13. "The Pacific" is being produced by Spielberg and Hanks...if it's half as good as Band of Brothers, I'll be happy.
  14. No thanks, reminds me a little too much of the Starland Vocal Band... This is a classic also: Linky
  15. I know Gene Upshaw believes differently, but the rookie salary pool is way outta wack...the vets need to rise up and challenge their union leader here, not just sit back and whine like they've been doing. If there was not a cap, I would tend to believe Upshaw when he sez that the big rookie contracts raise all boats...but there is a cap and the vets are getting screwed.
  16. It's a very nice stadium and the 'hood's ok. Reminds me of Atlanta...you enter through at the center field gate and there's a bar there that looks out over the field. They made a big stink before the season started about the dearth of parking and that it would be for season ticket holders only. Well, that didn't last, as quickly after opening night, several lots opened up to gameday parking. The four times I've driven there, I've parked in a lot that's only about 1/3 full. The parking mess never materialized, but many here still think that you can't park. Dopes. Getting there by Metro is ok, but I take the Orange line to Capitol Hill and walk the 1/2 mile to avoid the crowds at the stop right at the park
  17. My grandfather was a CPO during WWI and until the day he died, he was always referred to as "Chief."
  18. For us out-of-towners, I look forward to the training camp pictures from Andy, who goes by macnmotion here on TSW. His pics are high quality and always make me feel like I'm in Pittsford. Andy, if you're out there, load up the ol' Brownie and send pictures pronto!
  19. Two of the best bathroom books ever published.
  20. I try to avoid phrases like the plague...
  21. My annual rant on the on the ticket distribution process
  22. I would actually feel sorry for the guys locked up at Gitmo if listening to this station replaced waterboarding.
  23. Well, should Jax move to LA, you know the divisions will be realigned. It may take a couple of years, because I can't believe neither the Broncos or Chiefs will give up the great rivalries, but I think the Chiefs would be moved to the South to replace Jax, which would go to the West as LA. Leaving an LA team in the South will do nothing for them...no one in Hollywood would be excited to see Tenny and Houston come in on an annual basis.
  24. I'm in on a full-season ticket plan here and, like typical Washington, excuses are like "I can't find the channel they're on...blah, blah, blah." The main reason nobody watches is that they stink. Pure and simple. They've got more than a dozen players on the DL. The only young "star" they have, Ryan Zimmerman, has been on the shelf since Memorial Day. Only 25 percent of the games are in HD...yes, this is 2008, and I'd rather watch the Royals-Rangers in HD than Nats and Phils in SD. This market is too wealthy for anyone to get worried. The team will get better...someday, and people will tune in. Until then, we're watching "Ugly Betty" reruns here. Why isn't this thread on the Baseball board?
