Great Woods, aka Tweeter Center, aka Comcast Center, is now xfinity Center. :o

Which means absolutely nothing, everyone will still call it Great Woods. :P

As one surly CT BMW salesman - Yankees fan - hammock hump buddy once quibbed, "it is the Super Bowl of Buffett" and that is how I will always think of it.

I suspect there are many surly CT BMW salesmen Yankee fans.

But "hammock hump buddy"? There can only be one who fits that description... :lol:

I had no idea you were a BMW salesman.

No, Gary, I made something of my life. 8) :lol:

Ex USCG who spends his days doing independent contracting work concerning safety and legal issues for government nautical facilities and ferry services and, as of late, bumming around Ireland.

I am also not a Yankees fan. So my soul, although not pure, is still in tact.

Great Woods must have originally been named by a bunch of guys.

If any of these companies had any sense, they'd just add their name before the words "Great Woods". They should take a lesson from TD Bank. Anybody who is worth their salt knows it's still Great Woods.

I never would've guessed. :lol:

And in case anyone from the "Anti-Garry crowd", N.E. branch starts with the "Good for you, Jon-nice zing"-it should be noted, Jon and I go way back, I consider him a friend, and we do like to go back and forth with each other with the Yankees-Red Sox thing. So PLEASE, go ride your collective horses somewhere else.
God bless your pure, intact soul, Jon.
Maybe someday Jason Varitwk WILL make the hall of fame. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I will personally keep Buffettnews alive for the next 20 + years just so when Jason Varitek finally gets enough sympathy votes to earn a spot in Cooperstown so I can say this: [smilie=cheeky-grin.gif]

And then it will all have been worth it. We can discuss this further at some parking lot somewhere in 2014 - hopefully Tampa again - if not Great Woods. Tampa agrees with me nicely.

Garry, sweet pea....

Please make sure you do not confuse "Jon-nice" with a member of the board with a similar name. ;)

And what, pray tell, prompted this remark, Pretty Lady? I have many fond memories of our various entanglements over the years. :P
