Yeah - poor memory at my age. I looked it up - Steib wasn't even in the bigs until 1979. Game played on opening day, despite the snow.

Only 33 unsold seats left tonight.

The Jays starting pitcher was Bill Singer, Steib was opening pitcher for the first time six years later in 1983.

Yeah but you were the only one that nailed Parmalee... just sayin.. and count me in the 30% barely... lol

Most of this board is 40+ at this point. Frankly, I'd bet that 30% of it is 50+.

I'm predicting Norris gets the first goal...or maybe Geerston.

absolute phonetically altered spewed bs... I would literally be accenting the rear when I talked to them... of course AFTER the procedure that is... LOL

A family member treats with a colorectal doc whose last name is Riordan. (Everywhere in the world, that name is pronounced REAR-dun.) The first time he called for an appointment, the receptionist said "Hello, Dr. RYE-or-dun's office ... ." My brother was like: Man, that is some bulllllsh1t.

All these terms are silly. Especially team "owners" and "twelfth mans" that are closest in my football world. Those two are the worst. But Sabres neighborhood fits. They're not a nation as that would imply global reach and acknowledgement. A mafia implies some sort of above-the-law approach and strong local power dynamic or inducing fear of reprisal. Nope, they're a small local residential area just hoping to go about their business without any sirens or loud neighbors. Pleased as punch they didn't get murdered. At least they've got that sandwich to look forward to. And if Tuch walks, the team misses the playoffs, and Dahlin and TNT demand trades -- then next year they can be the Sabres Assisted Living Home.

I got one better... our Gastro Doc is Dr Sheety ... after my wife came home from her colonoscopy yesterday she was like, Dr Sheety says all looks good... I was like who? Like huh... its all synchronicity my friends synchronicity...

I am 100% not here to talk about the merits of the brand name "Bills Mafia."

I've got it made in the shade With my moonshine lemonade There's a party going on down in the Sabrehood

da fuq? leave that sh1t in the northern tier, brother.

I assumed "hood" referred to the urban "neighborhood" pop culture use of the word. Especially since there were references to Bills Mafia in the thread. Sabrehood, as in brotherhood, is fine with me. The Bills Mafia backers say it was meant to refer to family. The Italian word for family is "famiglia", not mafia. Mafia refers to organized crime groups and that is a kind of "family" that most Italian-Americans have no connection to. the word mafia was most likely derived from uncomplimentary words to suggest male swagger and boldness. I am of Italian descent but not offended by Bills Mafia. The few family elders that I have left don't care for it and shrug it off.

Neither am I was waiting for the who the hell is.... lol but alas... you outted it... 🤣

Go team. New season, new chance to rewrite the narrative

White throwback

Help me pick my fit for watching tonight's game in my basement ... Dark blue Eichel #15? Red goat head practice jersey? White throwback from before they switched to the goat?

I'm not young. I remember ripping a classmate (fins fan) about his running back.

Hey he came to mind... lol props to you for even knowing who he was... 🙂 I imagined people looking him up 🙂

The Yankees are out and the world is a little brighter. Now for the Mariners to take out the Tigers.

Bernie Parmalee? The guy who took seven seasons to amass as many rushing yards as OJ did in one? Keep Warner for discussions like this, but drop Marmalade.

I believe it started with the players I remember Cozens wearing a sweatshirt that had it on there during an interview. And one of the Sabres beat reporters mention she was surprised that the merchandise became available to the fans. Anything to make money though.

I will never understand why they dont like Ryan Johnson... we know what Bryson is... he is D+ C-

He has suggested sending Benson to Rochester to help him gain confidence and skill in scoring. He's backed off that stance a little since preseason.
