  1. Thanks for pointing out that he named himself. That's where I'd start in critiquing the murkiness of the language. He wasn't named president.
  2. Football? And don't poke me about Narrative. Terry's said as much. @That Aud Smell is going to flip his own lid at the writing in that release.
  3. Not sure I understand the "see the ice" complaint.
  4. I got it! And the Kindle app! It's awesome. A sampling: In the core of the Bison Sabers' field, where the enthusiasm of the fans meets the energy of the game, an unbelievable voice arose — a voice that would everlastingly entwine with the fate of the group and become inseparable from the actual substance of hockey in Bison. Rick Jeanneret, the maestro of sports discourse, left on an excursion that would lift him to the positions of broadcasting significance and etch his name in the hearts of Sabers devoted.
  5. No. I googled the "author"'s name and a few other celebrity books came up. I am intrigued tho. Probably AI generated after someone of note passes away. I'm almost intrigued enough to get the Kindle version right away. But, no Kindle. Actually Bettie is prolific! https://www.amazon.com/Books-Bettie-V-Melton/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ABettie+V.+Melton&page=3
  6. Almost want to order this to see how bad it is... https://www.amazon.com/BIOGRAPHY-RICK-JEANNERET-Broadcaster-Reverberated/dp/B0CFZMMQ4C
  7. Dave Hannan has lost it.
  8. 1989ish The Aud? Or I might be thinking about lasers.
  9. I'll put some ketchup on it and bite. Terry's ho hum style shouldn't be the deciding factor. He should give the people what they want. To his credit he let Kim give the players a fancy new lockerroom when at the time he said, "If it was up to me they'd get dressed out here (in the pavilion)." Paraphrase To the obvious larger point, he should have always been thinking about giving us the best teams all the time and not subjecting us to his "aesthetic" of patience and continuous improvement and the meek shall inherit the earth (literally) after 35 years of trying, and the oldie but goodie Only One Team Can Win The Cup. How did I do?
  10. The forks of a thousand mennnnnnn.
  11. No tapes of Rick doing TV the first time? That would be sad. Kinda surprised the Knoxes let Ted's hair get so long.
  12. Oh OK. Never thought to click on the rocket. But the icons are all the same. @SDS can this feature be reconsidered? It does mess with the member image. And it makes @Doohickie look like he's really into rockets.
  13. Before it's all lost to history, someone needs to really do that Wiki page right. Heck with Paul and Rick gone, maybe it's already gone. There must be archives of this stuff at the Sabres tho.
  14. This I pledge to you, a better beef on weck. Hear it in the voice of JFK. You're welcome. Was that when the Tron crashed?
  15. So if Pat was doing radio with Rick in 74-75, who was alongside Ted? There's a Wiki page of Sabres broadcasters that has Ted and Pat together that year. Apparently not accurate. Remember that Rick acknowledged his late broadcast partner Hannigan on RJ Night.
  16. I think for a lot of people it will be a wry smile.
  17. What's the circular rocket icon on the bottom left of our username images? Color me slightly impressed that the NHL is reasonably close to the NBA and MLB.
  18. By the same token you could play Ted's "fan from ..." bit whenever the puck lands in the crowd.
  19. You sign him if he's better than the player whose position he takes. I continue to smh.
  20. I like that one. "And here we go" at puck drop. This is more subtle stuff than all the blaring goals calls strung together. A funny one would be Rick's snarky "whenever..." when the linesman refuses to drop the puck. "And the game is over!" Otherwise it's time to put Dan front and center. The franchise needs to step out of the past.
  21. That sounds sketchy for sure.
  22. I might have to recant. I was probably thinking of Demonic/Satanic Goathead.
  23. Jim Kelley's ashes just flashed (if he was cremated). If not he rolled over in his grave.
