I work in a fairly large complex(multiple buildings) with 2000+ employees. I hate when people walk by me(if we are the only two people in the hallway), and they stare at their shoetops as you pass them, instead of a quick smile/nod/hello. Even if I don't know you, you don't have to act like an unfriendly prick.

At the risk of repeating myself...call me when a deal is signed. Anything other than this is nothing but false hope.

NYCM through a local broker. Used to be with Erie Insurance until my daughter got her license, and the rates to add her on, were out of this world.

Likewise. How can something so confusing to read be so popular?

Seriously, I hope there is some sort of protest on the marathon route in Staten Island. Bloomberg would get even more bad publicity as cops are hauling away Staten Island residents who are currently homeless or still have a home without any utilities.

The decision by Bloomberg to let the marathon go on, is mind boggling. I hope the voters remember this when it comes time for re-election. :thumbdown: http://newyorkpost.com/p/news/local/this_is_no_way_to_get_us_up_running_egrMk4ukpzFCGhSF8oM5kN ...and I'll add my WOW to the non-union workers being turned away.

How was this going to be resolved if he didn't make the cut with the Sabres...and I don't thing he was a sure thing to make the big club? His team would still have the problem they have today.

I cannot believe the pics from NYC. I can't see how the are going to get the subway fully operational for at least a week. The houses that caught fire in Rockaway. LaGuardia under water.

There was one weather channel idiot(he may have been from a network affiliate) who was right on the waters edge last night trying to broadcast with waves crashing over his head. I was hoping the dumba$$ would get swept out to sea. :rolleyes: At least the always enjoyable Jim Cantore has the sense to say, "listen folks, if this water gets any higher, we may have to head out"(he was at battery park). On a related weather channel note, does Stephanie Abrams have a brain?

Maybe Rolston is geting some tips from Lindy on goaltending rotation? :rolleyes:

I don't want any crappy 3 month season. Either start playing games by 12/1, or I hope the owners lock your a$$es out for the entire season! What's wrong Quinny? Still pouting over the fact that no one liked your hulking nets and blue ice? :lol:

I have no problem with a domed stadium, and would actually consider buying season tickets if we ever got one. I have several issues with this proposal... 1 - Location. OP is the perfect spot, and if they ever decide to build a new stadium, it should be built where one of the existing stadium lots are today. 2 - Convention Center. Forget about it. We barely have use for the one we have now, and Buffalo is not exactly the mecca of convention destinations. Can you imagine going to a convention, and finding out there is nothing else there but a barren waterfront? 3 - Retractable Roof. Waste of money. Either open air stadium or dome. Not both. 4 - Ownership. A new stadium proposal should not even be open for discussion, until new Bills ownership is in place. In the meantime, spend the 100+ million on fixing up RWS.

Nope. Fehr can keep them out all season.

I will summarize... Fehr..."blah blah. blah blah blah. blah." What a surprise he claims the players are getting screwed. Ask me if I care.

I've gone to my "Happy Place" when it comes to the Bills. If I watch the game, okay. If I don't watch, okay. Win or lose, okay. They have just become irrelevant to me after following them in a diehard manner since the late 1960's.

8-1

Stupid on field trophy presentation for the AL Championship. 20 minutes standing around while they setup a stage. Turn the players loose in the locker room, break out the champagne, and put it on the big board so the fans can watch.

Why isn't political phone spam not a part of the "do not call" registry? :angry: [edited] I know by law they are allowed, but they shouldn't be. Freaking annoying!

If they aren't playing hockey by December 1st, I am seriously going to consider giving up my partial share of season tickets in 12-13, follow them on TV when I can absolutely not find anything else to do, and add them to my list of irrelevant things, which already includes the Buffalo Bills. Hockey in Buffalo has SUCKED for the most part since the start of the 07-08 season, why am I even upset that they are not playing right now? :huh:

The WBEN morning show(John Zak & Susan Rose) give WGR(same ownership) a run for their money. Ever since the election primaries started, they rehash the same political crap over and over and over again. Same political analysts over and over and over again. Day after a debate...debate talk for 4 hours. Day after a debate...debate talk for 4 hours. Jam in weather and traffic a couple of times an hour, and that is your 4 hour show. Sorry but if I want to hear about politics for a 4 hour period, WBEN wouldn't be in my top 500 list. Hire some reporters and cover some local stories, or just read the Buffalo News local section word for word. GIVE IT A REST!

Looks like my stance on the "pending agreement" was a good one to take. ;)

I wish their would be some sort of compensation system in place for UFA's as part of a new CBA? It sucks for the teams that lose UFA's either because players don't want to stay, or they can't afford them. Why can't there be draft picks awarded in a similar manner to how the NFL does it? PS I am cautiously optimistic about a deal getting done. I don't trust Fehr to settle this quick. I will get excited when a deal is actually announced and not a second before hand. :nana:

That sucks. I know I am in the minority, but I thought he had top 6 potential, and he would add something not seen much in the top 6 during recent years...an element of physicality/toughness.

The Amerks website has 29 players listed on the roster. I would assume at least 6 of those players will either be assigned to the ECHL or released. If not, they better make more room in the press box for healthy scratches. http://www.amerks.com/team.asp 16 Amerks games will be televised in Buffalo and Rochester this season... http://www.amerks.com/newsX.asp?type=News&aID=620

Yeah. Clearly a union picket. Just don't know what construction trade was being targeted.
