Assquatch Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 It's sort of like Easter, except without the chocolate and the ham. I just hope he doesn't see his shadow and we end up with six more weeks of winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I just hope he doesn't see his shadow and we end up with six more weeks of winter. Or worse, what if he sees LQ at the presser; does that mean we have 6 weeks of blue ice with orange lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMatrix31 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Wish I was able to stay up longer. It's 6:44am on the West Coast and I'm about ready to tap out. Hope the man comes off well in the presser. Lead the way, Pegula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobody Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Pegula is being very busy in the sports world: Twitter: SBJLizMullen Liz Mullen Breaking--#NHL Sabres owner Terry Pegula enters #NFL biz by acquiring business of powerful #NFL player agent Todd France 1 hour ago Favorite Retweet Reply Retweeted by @Schopptalk A little more detail: http://www.wivb.com/dpp/sports/sabres_and_nhl/pegula-buys-sports-agency From the WIVB link it appears this isn't totally new for him. "Previously, Pegula had owned a sports agency run by Orchard Park native Brian Ayrault, a former standout football player for the Quakers."

inkman Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Maybe I'm being naive here but doesn't owning a sports team and owning a firm that negotiates contracts with sports teams a direct ###### conflict of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Maybe I'm being naive here but doesn't owning a sports team and owning a firm that negotiates contracts with sports teams a direct ###### conflict of interest. But he doesn't own an NFL team so I don't think there would be any conflict. Now we will have a possible first indicator if he ever decided to buy the Bills since he probably would have to sell the firm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I hate Twitter. I do too, mostly. But it's still the best way to follow Lloyd Taco Truck. And the guy tweeting "real time" World War II updates exactly 72 years after the events happened (he started in late August, and now he's up to December 6, 1939; he plans to continue until 2017, when the war "will end"), is freaking awesome. Some days I can't wait to get home to read "what happened" during the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the best use of twitter I've ever heard of. 99% of the time, though, it only fools people into thinking that they are finding out information at the speed that it is happening, when in fact, most of the time, we are just being fed little snippets of nothing, that may or may not be true, of which I can't even figure out what the hell they are actually saying anyway. In the end, I bet we find out the real stories in the same amount of time that we did before Twitter, only without the "Late Breaking Speculation".

Taro T Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnM97ZvwDis I saw that movie down in the 'deep' south. Clicking on the link says that Sony has blocked it. When I saw the movie, Matthew Broderick's crew got more or less completely slaughtered. Did I just get the Houston version, or is that the way it was shown up here as well. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Lucic was the cannon@3:20. Great movie, great scene. Top 10 movie of mine for sure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGPACVNk6ck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 "Glory" is in your top 10? To each his own, but sheesh. Interesting. Although I can see where someone who still thinks Ruff can lead this bunch to the promised land could fail to see the poetry and major aspects of the film developed into greatness and lessons learned.

Poetry? Major aspects of the film developed into greatness? Lessons learned? So, let me see, leadership evolving from a group of men that have the odds stacked against them in the moral light of the day all while facing an enemy that is fighting for their very bondage. I think it's even more interesting that you could manage to a Ruff comment in this analytical thesis on this particular film. ;) Oh, and nfreeman, I concur with your statement: "Glory is in your top 10?

I'm sure if you gave the Sabres a choice between Glory, or Beverly Hills Chihuahua on their next charter flight, the smart money is on the talking dog.

Off the top of my head, here are some war movies that I consider far superior (although admittedly none of these is a civil war movie -- I don't think I've seen any of the great ones): Apocalypse Now Full Metal Jacket The Deer Hunter Bridge on the River Kwai Stalag 17 Saving Private Ryan (overrated but still great) Gallipoli Three Kings Hurt Locker The Pacific (mini-series) Band of Brothers (mini-series) Black Hawk Down But who am I to get between a man and his love for Matthew Broderick?
