  1. Oh, I indeed think it's odd and believe you have a point here...I just wonder how many Toronto tickets are left, especially since the Rogers Centre only holds about 55K. I think price is the big factor, and as you said, I hope Ralph got paid up-front.
  2. Well, considering that the Brits bought 40,000 tix in 90 minutes for the Saints-Chargers game, there may be room here for some discussion here. Link
  3. This is my annual rant on the Bills ticket distribution process: - Team sells a respectable amount of seasons (52,000+) - Team sells individual game tickets to STHers...nothing wrong with that. It's a legit STH perk. - Team announces most games "sold out" after STH sale or group sale date. 8000 tickets reportedly "held back" for potential STHers. 8000 tickets held back for potential season tickets! There's the problem: the Bills get some cheap PR by announcing that individual game tickets are gone, when in reality it is not true. They are creating an artificial "demand market." I still believe the Bills will sell a couple of thousand STs, but 8000? No way. So...after the Detroit preseason game, the team will have about 6000 tickets for the Seattle game to unload, IN THE NEXT WEEK. A sellout should occur, but that's a lot of tickets to flood that market with, only a week or so to go before the Seattle game. I think in late July, early August, the Bills may start to bleed some tickets into the market, but folks make plans early in the summer which games they attend and if we're told in early June, all but SF and NE are "sold out," well that takes the wind out of alot of sales (pun intended). Now you fine folks fortunate to be able to make your way to WNY for the TBD party have to make a decision, mostly concerning air travel. Do you take a chance now and book a flight? Hotels are usually able to be cancelled pretty easily, but good luck changing your flight plans these days. The is an annual corner the Bills paint themselves in every year...I think the marketing is misleading and surprised the paid media (Buffalo Snooze, D and C) hasn't caught on to this. Instead, they run the virtually the same press release that OBD hands them. End of Rant.
  4. Thurman loses his helmet... Rypien TD pass to Gary Clark... Skins D smothers Kelly... No thanks
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Ironic, given the date, I believe the greatest cast of all time appeared in The Longest Day
  8. The NFL does not usually change start times until later in the season...so....for the first half of the season, start times are pretty much safe.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Start something that's never been done before: Do shots out of a bowling ball...wait...
  12. Afterwhich he can be found asleep in his car, at the intersection of Abbott and Big Tree...
  13. I'll take the bait, but please, turn the caps off, you're SHOUTING.
  14. I always pegged you more as a Rose Marie guy....
  15. Better Off Dead "Two Dollars!"
  16. Did you look under the couch?
  17. I'm sorry, I find hats like this much more disturbing.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. How come dogs and cats are "put to sleep," yet horses are "destroyed?" Always sounded a little extreme to me.
  21. Ding! Today's winner!
  22. Are you sure it was Pinto? I mean, anybody can cover their face with ketchup and claim to be Kenny.
  23. Would you give a three year lease to someone who's only elected to a two year term?
  24. Not if you have HD
