  1. I'm trying to find copies of scripts voiced by John Facenda for NFL Films.

     

    I wanted to have some fun with some writing I am doing, and wanted to look over the classic NFL Film Highlight reel scripts that Facenda narrated for some inspiration.

     

    I tried googling for the past hour but got no joy.

     

    Anyone got a clue where transcripts/scripts might be found?

    Don't have the script, but at the very end of the 1980 Bills highlight film, Facenda says, as Fergy limps off the field in San Diego, "Buffalo lost this game in San Diego, but like the setting sun, the Bills will rise again."

     

    In the same film he says, "Joe Cribbs is a working man, in a working man's town."

     

    And of Super Bowl V, Fecenda starts off: "Super Bowl Five was fiercely fought, but fatefully flawed."

  2. Driving up to WNY July 4th week with two little ones, and have been looking into those portable DVD players, with dual screens that fit over the front headrest...been reading up on them and some get decent reviews.

     

    Just reluctant on pulling the trigger...anybody have any experience, good or bad, with these machines?

  3. To be honest having the NFL Network isn't what it's cracked up to be. Outside of the games they will be showing this season and the periodic old games that I might have some interest in seeing, there's not much to it.

    Agree...I've said it a hundred times, with the NFL Films vault at their disposal, they do a piss poor job at showing old games, highlights, interviews, etc.

  4. OK, nobody comes back...here's what you do:

     

    Opening Scene:

     

    Tony: "Christopher, remember that big F'n Russian you guys let get away in the woods a couple of years ago? Well, he's back, and he just whacked Paulie."

     

    Christopher: "No F'n way! Christ, I've gotta find him before he finds me."

     

    And there, my friends, you have enough to fill eight episodes and at the same time close the biggest story line still open. :doh:

  5. There is teeters (sp???) that's supposed to be pretty good, but very few around.  They are opening a big store in Prince William county near hoadly and 234 is my understanding.

    Harris Teeter is a NC-based chain...they're pretty good, way ahead of Giant/Safeway, but no where near Wegmans. I shop at the Glebe Road location in Arlington. They are building pretty agressively in N. VA, there's one going up in Shirlington and one on Route 1 near Potomac Yards.

     

    Used to shop at Giant but left due mainly to the check-out lines being seven deep, and the union-card-carrying-cashiers bantering back and forth about their next break...

  6. Sorry if previously posted

     

    I was looking at the Saints board & saw this referenced, pretty cool. You have to pay for the longer aricles, but some of them are short enough that you can see them for free... like this one:

    Another good one:

    That is kinda cool, like having "Relentless" on your desktop...

     

    Just reading the first couple of pages from the 1981 season, brought back alot of memories...the game against Denver, the Bills 9-7 winners, I was at, but I don't remember anything like this:

     

    4 Hurt, 7 Seized in Fight After Bills' Triumph

     

    UPI

    Published: October 27, 1981

    Authorities said today that a ''near riot'' occurred at Rich Stadium in a brawl yesterday following the Buffalo Bills' 9-7 victory over the Denver Broncos.

     

    Four stadium security officers were injured. The fight broke out in a concourse when officers tried to eject some men who they said were smoking marijuana. Seven persons were arrested.

     

    ''Injurywise, it was the worst incident we've had at the stadium in six years,'' said a security spokesman.

  7. Growing up in Rochester, we always had "Skippy." He often (like mall Santas there was more than one) rode around on a three-wheeled type motorcycle, with the freezer in the back.

     

    Down by the beach in Charlotte, we also had "Skeeter." There was only one of him, and he had a van...

  8. Unless Ralph plans to live to 150, the Bills will ALWAYS be on the short list to move.

     

    I hate to say it, but when Ralph passes on to that Great Skybox, all hell is going to break loose...forget about leases, contracts, Tagliabue's assurances, etc...if this team is not in Galisano's hands mach schnell, this "move thing" can get really ugly, real fast. :lol:

  9. In '87, the Isles beat Washington in the the 4th OT on La-la's goal, after having trailed the series 3-1.

    I was at that game...got over at 2:00 AM...the scoreboard, at midnight, read: "Happy Easter!"

     

    The next day, Easter Sunday, I went to Baltimore for a doubleheader vs. the Tribe.

     

    Ahhh, the good 'ol days of being single! :devil:
