A Look Inside An Old Friend

This is one of the coolest things I have seen in awhile. This guy and his team literally broke into the Aud and explored the building just a few months prior the start of demolition.

It is amazing to me how much of it remains untouched. It was almost like looking at pictures of the Titantic. Everything is just left the way it was after the last game.

It is a little spooky but quite remarkable what he found. This guy basically spent a whole night in the Aud poking around.


This is some really incredible stuff

Remember this maniac! haha

Grateful Dead 5/9/77 Memorial Aud, Buffalo, NY

Believe it or not Buffalo was home to arguably one of the greatest rock and roll concerts of all time.

The Grateful Dead's show on May 9th i 1977 is beleived by Deadheads and music historians to be among one of the greatest live concerts ever performed

As a huge Deadhead I would concur!

Listen to the Dead rock out the Aud

Just Manny Being A Cheater

So Man Ram is on the juice? Suprisig but not entirely unpredictable. Quite frankly, I didn't think Manny cared enough about baseball to cheat. There is a law of diminishing returns to the whole steroid era in baseball. The more and more I hear about players who are using roids the less and less I care.

I have come to the realization that more than likely everyone is using them. In stead of being shocked at the guys who ARE using them I am shocked that there are some guys who ARE NOT using them

What the hell are these guys thinking? If I were some of these journeymen MLB'ers I would be taking enough roids to revive Barbaro. If they don't get caught they can stay in the league longer and make more money. If they get cut their mediocre career is probably finished. To me it's worth the gamble.

I am dreading the day this garbage enters the NHL. Major League Baseball is a complete joke. No records, accomplishments, milestones, and championships can be looked at with out a big fat *!

Major League Baseball to me is more on par these days with professional wrestling. It is entertainmet. That is it. I don't know what is real, who is or isnt cheating, and I sure as heck don't know how things like roids effect the outcome of the games.

Back in 2007, who would have thought steroids would have reached this level?


Great clip about just how dishonest the ENTIRE game of baseball just may be


Bob Costas is pissed!!

Larry Quinn claimed today on the radio that the Hamilton/Southern Ontraio area makes up 25% of the teams market. Maybe if the Sabres could make the playoffs consistently and not alientate their fanbase with awful offseason moves they wouldn't have to go North of the border
_________
UB Football lost a few schloarships for not having good enough grades as a team. Really? If their grades are bad they must all be a bunch of miscreants. They do realize they play for UB?! Those kids should be studyig because no matter how much a a "feel good story" that team is they have 9-5's in their new future!
________
The Bisons one a game today! That makes 3 all season. Good job Herd! Keep it up! You guys are on pace for 15 wins all season

Think the Bills Will Win Superbowl 44....Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

There is not a lot of faith in the 2009-2010 Buffalo Bills team in Vegas.

They are currently +$6000 to win it all. That basically means for every $1 you would bet on the Bills winning the Superbowl you would win $6000 should they actually do it. There are only four teams with worse odds. The Lions, Chiefs, Raiders, and Rams. All four of those teams are +$10,000.

You might as well put a five spot down and hope for the best!

Superbowl Odds

Almost Gone...

Thanks to Healy for the pics.

The Aud is almost totally torn down. Having been to the waterfront on Sunday I can tell you that the whole area is already opening up quite nicely! It is amazing how much more open that space is even with half the Aud gone!

That area is going to be amazing in 2 or 3 years. If you have money in the bar business on Chippewea I would get out while you can. The waterfront is going to be the go to place!

The Buffalo waterfront almost perfectly opens itself up to development. If you travel a bit south of where the Aud is there are these perfect "jetties" that are naturally set up along the waterfront which bars and restaurants could be placed on. The locations would mean that each establishment would have three sides of water per location! It would also means you would be able to dock your boat along each establishment that you would chose to go to!

Having not been down to that area since last 4th of July I was totally amazed at the development of the area! It appears that Buffalo is taking it's time and doing this right! Route 5 is well on its way in regards to transformation as well. What years ago was a dingy, pot hole ridden parkway around Tift, has been transformed in a tree lined causeway which will serve as a gateway to the newest jewel of Buffalo.

If I had money to invest I would put it ALL in the redevelopment of the waterfront. I had to see it to believe it and I am now a very, very strong believer in this project and just how amazing it is actually going to be.
