Holding back 8K? I think they may sell another 2K season tickets MAX. I think most people who already want seasons have them by now...the ticket office is being a little bit over optimistic here.
I surfed the channels last night thinking someboday has got to be running The Longest Day.
Nope.
I'm writing my congressman, urging him to submit a bill directing at least one major network show The Longest Day every June 6th.
I'm in the DC burbs and it's $32 a cut, includes trimming, raking, etc. It would take me half a Saturday to do all they do....for $32, it's well worth it.
It is quite possible that all games other than SF will be "sold-out" after the groups get their shot...of course, after the first preseason game, a couple of thousand seats will "magically" become available for each game.
From the article:
Pecora took an inside pitch from Lutes and pulled a sizzling line drive down the third base line, drilling Oswego manager and third base coach Frank Paino in the side of the head.
"It was a no-brainer that this could end up real bad," added Fisher coach Dan Pepicelli.
That was certainly a hoot, but I thought it was out of character for Dwight...Dwight's not that bright to pull off such a prank. It would have been more plausible coming from Jim.

I hope I don't win....
I don't like the fact that all warm weather road games are in Sept/Oct and all the cold weather road games are in Dec/Nov. Usually, the league would throw the Bills a bone and schedule a late season road game in a warm weather site. Not this year. And I think we lose most of our homefield advantage with the Fish playing in a dome in December.
How long before we hear the "Rust Belt Bowl" promos on ESPN? Kornheiser's gonna have a field day...
