I'm looking for a Lee Evans premier throwback...not the authentic, but one with the sewn on numbers. Anyone see them anywhere in WNY?

Yesterday's game took a little sting out that debacle...which still haunts me to this day.

But Bob Matthews picks the Bills, so we like him this week, right?

Watching that Giant fan say "It's over," was very depressing...because I'm not too far from that guy's position. I'm not a season ticket holder, but my DTV Sunday Ticket is now north of $300, with SuperFan and all...It's really getting out of hand, and sometime soon I fear I'm going to start sounding like that Giant fan.

Anybody see the latest RealSports on HBO? The first segment on NY Giants' 2009 ticket prices? The PSLs, etc? Is the bubble about to burst?

I hear ya, but I respectfully disagree. Individual teams are the ones who determine whether a game is sold out, and the whole "72 hour" crap is used as both a guideline and a crutch. It's not a hard "rule" or "law" by any means, as witnessed now in Jax. Last I heard, the finale against NE is the only Buffalo game not deemed 'sold out'...Ralph could declare the game sold out today, ensuring local TV coverage, but still have ducats up on Ticketbastard. So, in this scenario, is the game, by NFL 'standards' sold out? Yes. Same thing in Jax.

Further confirms the sellout "rule" is complete bullstuff. It's up to the individual team whether a game is soldout or not...the whole "72 hours....75 miles rule" is complete fabrication. The Bills could sell 10 tickets to the next game and if Ralph declares the game 'sold out,' it's 'sold out,' and on TV.

Second that...the Lids down here in DC area carry a wide assortment, but of course, no Bills. You may have better luck in the northeast.

I was home in Arlington, about a mile from the Pentagon, and the f'n plane flew right over the house...didn't see it, but it sounded like a freight train going over...we weren't allowed to walk down near the Pentagon until the following Saturday. God bless all our heroes that day.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

I usually budget for at least an hour between connections...but that's just me, others may be more daring.

Back when I was a young lad, around 1970, 1971...WXXI (Ch 21) use to show some Boston Bruins games...I think it was before the Amerks became a Boston farm and they were still with Vancouver. I remember it very well, although I don't remember if it was the Ch 38 in Boston feed they were getting...maybe HNIC?

Kinda hard to do when your jaw is on the floor...

So, the Sabres will have a local radio affiliate in Rochester (did they before?), but the Amerks are now with Florida? Interesting.

This will be the real test...stand by for mayhem. I hope you get 'combat duty' pay.

Buffalo Night Flyer Always fun, but get there EARLY.

Guess so....this is the winner, so far:

Isn't it odd that he and Jason Peters report to Orchard Park the same day? Have you ever seen the two together? Could it be that....?

Jimmy's is the best bar in the area...little far out, though. I think Grevey's in Falls Church still gets Bills fans.

Last year, after the Skins game, I hitched a ride back to DC with the McFaddens' crew...only to get to the bar, at 6:30 pm, and find it CLOSED. Was looking forward to some wings and a soda pop before heading home, and Mac's was already shut down for the night!

Can someone get a clean copy of this to Fezzer so he can burn some DVDs? (Sorry, Fez...

You're right...butterflies are starting to flutter in the ol' breadbasket...couple of frosties after work will fix that. Tomorrow, turn on the college games...start thinking more about the Bills. Sunday morning, wake up around 7:00 AM, and the first thing I do is put the gameday Bills flag up...after that, commence becoming a nervous wreck. It happens every September....

Does this mean Ann-Margaret's not coming?

Almost stopped reading right there...but this post was too much of a train wreck to pass up. Thank god for that Yup, shoulda stopped up top... Yeah, you helped me with a good laugh. Thanks!
