OCinBuffalo Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 No big deal just horrible grammar. What they are referring to is the Bills Backer weekend promotion. You can get a travel package(s), tickets and a tour and they are trying to say that the time to make reservations is running out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gross Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Oh, don't you know? This is the last chance to see Marv before he goes to his Winter home in Arizona until March. Part of the whole GM deal is that he only works through labor day weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrite Gal Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I think that the announcement was badly worded (it takes one to know one) but I do think that we will be sayin good bye to the Ralph in the not too distant future. It appears to me as though a post Labor Day feature in the gubernatorial campaign will be an effort to extort commitments from the candidates for governor to extort promises to spend tax dollars to support keeping the only football team which plays in NYS here. This subsidy can be delivered in the form of an Upstate sports authority similar to that proposed and defeated downstate to float bonds at the far better rate that the government can get than the private sector to bottow cash to build a stadium. By proposing to build a new stadium and keep the Bills here contractually for a long time the gubernatorial candidates will likely fall all over themselves to support such a move. The question of specifically where the stadium will be located (in Buffalo as part of a major investment to anchor rebuilding downtown, at its current location, or in the northtowns) will likely be finessed to gain support from all areas. Even forces in downstate will likely support this as an opportunity for NYC stadium supporters to suceed in asking for theirs once upstate is given state dollars andNYC stadium opponents will likely not oppose an upstate investment counched in urban renewal language and will try to use the investment as an argumenet for NYS not to go further into debt after an upstate investment. In any of these cases, the box currently known as the Ralph will be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have any more info about this? 751865[/snapback] Sadly, this makes me think of how Marv was actually hired. Do you think he war hired over some sort of lawn bowling or bocci ball game at the Ralph? It was like "C'mon Marv! Us old guys will show these young 5ucks how to run a ball team!!! One delerious senile old prick convincing another how awsome they still are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means that the hangers will only be on sale for a limited time and maybe never again. This is called non-literal reading. One reviews the text and the context of it. Based on this, they can judge and balance whether certain text is literal or figurtive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
