Tough financial times in Buffalo?

Could someone explain this to me...THE BILLS have sold more Season Tickets since the"glory years" of the '90's (over 53,000) and SOLD-OUT EVERY Home Game this season except the last game of the season on December 28th against The PATS (and you KNOW with all those

wacky New England Fans it WILL certainly sell-out before then)...and the Team hasn't made the play-off's in how many years? I'm not complaining, COO RUSS BRANDON and THE BILLS brain-trust have done a remarkable marketing job, and I'm really hoping the TEAM will stay in Buffalo forever!

I returned last night from Thursday At The Square just in time to watch South Buffalo's

PATRICK KANE win The NHL'S CALDER TROPHY for Rookie Of The Year at The NHL AWARDS Ceremony! It's been quite a past 12 months for Pat who was selected 1st overall in the NHL's entry draft by The Chicago Black Hawks...then go on to have a STELLAR year for his Team, culminating in last night's Award!

Big CONGRATS to you, Pat (you always remember your South Buffalo roots as mentioned in your acceptance speech for The Calder Trophy). About the only Negative is that you're not wearing a Blue & Gold SABRES jersey.

Parrot Heads REJOICE (or Gamble)!

I think it's cool that Jimmy
Buffet has bought The

Donald's MARINA HOTEL &

CASINO in Atlantic City

for about $315 MILLION

(The Donald had been asking

about $500 Million for the

14 acre property that

features a 27 storey Hotel

with 728 guest rooms and

a 79,000 square foot

gambling/gaming area...but

reduced the price after

some lengthy negotiations with

Jimmy and the fact it was his poorest

performing properties of his 3 in Atlantic City).

Jimmy plans on making a full face-lift of the property

when the deal is finalized at year's end, and will re-name

it (what else) "MARGARITAVILLE ." Jimmy is also

getting plans underway to open another Casino through

his Coastal Marina LLC on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in

a couple of years.

I wonder if the restaurants in his hotel's will offer

CHEESEBURGERS IN PARADISE on the menu?
