  1. He will always be known for installing the mic in Hitler's picture that hung in Klink's office...The History Channel recently named that one of the greatest innovations of the WWII.
  2. I saw that too and found it kinda odd...Kelly and Kemp would be great, but this team would go in the $600-700M range, no? Seems like alot of scratch for these guys to raise...
  3. First, America at the Rochester War Memorial, 1976...Eric Carman opened. Favorite? Springsteen: Dec. 1980 Rochester; July 1985 RFK Stadium; May 1988 Mountain View, CA. Honorable Mention: John Valby, Penny Arcade, Dec. 1990.
  4. $52 and $26 seems a little steep, especially since the baseball HOF induction ceremony is, ummm...free.
  5. Some of the comments are pretty good..."Shawon Dunston of the Cubs would have still swung at that ball back in the day."
  6. Let's see: No playoffs since '99, no playoff wins since '95, no home playoff game since '96, FOUR straight losses in the Super Bowl...yes, put me in the "miserable" category too.
  7. "And order the big ones...the jumbos. And sauce. A quart, no make it a gallon, a gallon of sauce." Up until the mid-90s there was actually an Adams Ribs in Chicago, on Rush St. I frequented the establishment whenever I was in the Windy City, and several times had the ribs Fed-Ex'd to me. A better tasting rib I've yet to find anywhere.
  8. I remember him well...he was running a marathon (USMC?) collapsed, fell into a coma, and never recovered. The best part about Brenner was that he was never full of himself, unlike George Michael. Yes, Michael was a pioneer, pushed for more air time for sports, blah, blah, blah. But he was so driven by ego, he became sickening. Ch. 4 had a weekend sports anchor, Darrian Chapman, who was a good Buffalo guy. Downed several Blues with him at Grevey's. Remember watching the 1995 division clincher vs. Miami with him at Grevey's. He soon left for better pastures in Chicago, and also died of at a young age, collapsing while playing pick-up hockey.
  9. Don't forget the worst of all-time: Oregon
  10. I've got an M tattooed on each cheek...when I bend over it says MOM.
  11. I am offended that this is not on the off-topic board.
  12. I remember the Rox fondly...their big special was a "Bucket of Rox," six Rolling Rock splits...for some ungodly price like $1.50. The Rox was always THE place for last call...EVERY night of the week. Good pool table too.
  13. Was that the one accross Kodak Park on Dewey Avenue...just down a bit form the California Brew House? If so, I think I remember the joint being called "My Office." But the same jokes apply!
  14. The Barge Inn, right on the Erie Canal, in Brockport, my college town. Sadly, this fine establishment closed soon after the drinking age was raised to 21. But while I was at Brockport, this was among the top five bars in town.
  15. Tunnicliff's is still there I believe...the Eastern Market area has really built up the last several years...lots of new bars, restaurants, etc.
  16. I watched the Houston comeback game there...great place, may have to go there for lunch this week. Sadly, both the owners and Natty 'Bo on tap, are gone.
  17. I would look at and consider anybody ANYBODY right now who may have the slightest chance of improving the Bills woeful OL...I don't care if it's Reuben Brown, Ruben Stoddard, Ruben Gant or Paul Reubens...anybody that can help should be considered, regardless of past history.
  18. Yes, he "left" after the first loss to the Cowboys. Ya know, I was watching Polian after the game on NFL Network and the wife asked me what happened to him in Buffalo...I just said he had a fallout with Ralph...then I thought there had to be more to it. Anyone remember the particulars in Polian v. Wilson?
  19. Did you watch this game in Buffalo, because I thought this game, as well as all AFL and NFL home games in that era were blacked out? Rockpile, can you confirm? Me, I remember bits and pieces of I and II, but I remember vividly watching Jets v. Colts in III.
  20. Link Here you go...sizes run big. I usually wear an XL, and an L is a good fit.
  21. Yeah, there's snow in Charlotte. Big deal. Greece, Irondequoit , and Webster are getting it also.
  22. Dang, 34 years since the "Electric Company." Whatever happened to the running back? Rick Azar: "This is for the 2000, boys...."
  23. Which begs the question, why are dogs and cats "put to sleep," but horses are "DESTROYED?"
