May Day 10

seems as though this one should be easy to prove/disprove.

Probably not "average", but erin burnett, cnn

Was smitten with joey harrington. Wanted to sell the farm. Guess it wouldnt have mattered lol

Without the obvious hindsight investment stuff... Without a doubt would be to take academics a bit more seriously. Figure out what my profession would be and make a plan through college and the job market. Things turned out fine, but i really think i should have been an engineer or a veterinarian. I was not looking at life past 22. Also, the confidence with girls thing and knowing how to play the game. College years i would get a bit soft on partying and lethargy. Knowing what i know now, i would be able to maintain a pretty good balance of physique and having fun. Would have also maybe gone to school somewhere down south Also, travel a bit more. Never got a euro trip in

I use a weber smokey mountain. Love it. I recommend this thermometer. Wireless and you have 2 probes. One for the meat, and one for the smoker temp.

I really hope not. Its awful. And they can launch the bills' red color rush nonsense into the sun

I also discovered, after a number of briskets, that all the fancy store bought rubs, or homemade concoctions cannot compare to just kosher salt and cracked black pepper.

I have never done a chuck roast. Mainly do Pork Butt or Brisket. Pork Butt (pulled pork) is probably the easiest/most forgiving/bang for the buck. I know with both those meats, it is important to (when its done on the smoker) to wrap it in foil and a towel and stick in a cooler for no less than 45 minutes to rest. I have done a few other things. Smoked Deviled Eggs are fantastic. Have done onion bombs which didn't turn out great. One thing I did was take large boneless chicken breasts, butterfly them, fill them with a mixture of cream cheese, cheddar, and chopped up jalapenos. Wrap with 2 pieces of back each and pin it with toothpicks. Smoke. Yum! Also, if you do straight up chicken on the smoker, I would suggest finishing it on a conventional grill. I always feel like straight smoker chicken tastes a little "rubbery".

Patriots old uniforms are amazing. I also prefer the old (non color rush) broncos from the 80s, 90s. Them and the Pats changed about the same time in a bad uniform trend in the late 90s/early 00s. The one that brought us the bills' pajama uniforms. I like the bucs' creamsicles... but I understand why they dont/wont ever really go back. Their modern design (pre gigantic helmet logo) also aren't bad uniforms and a good color scheme

Iran showed so much heart. Loved watching them scrap

He's looking pretty good, and speaking better

Hamstrings are the worst When you think its healed, you will get back into it, shift it into gear... and bam! Back to square 1. Prolonged rest, along with yoga and taking care to stretch the rest of your life

Whaley and nix (and levy and brandon) were just guys happy to have the position and didnt mind being a pass-through for other upper management and ownership. The same goes for the coaches they had, other than marrone maybe who seemed to fight it and bolted

Russ Brandon is in negotiations to manage the Coe College East End Zone hot dog stand

He is not privy to that

They are going to be really good this season in both sports.

I'm going to wait and see how it goes when the games start. Also, if/when they offer a trial, I will check it out then. There is just so much out there already. Seems silly to subscribe unless they provide something unique and exclusive

To me, Tom Brady (and the Patriots') success has always been based on keeping his eye on the ball. The robot-line work ethic and focus, and be more prepared than your opponent. Never falling off script, rocking the boat, etc. Brady always struck me as not even close to the greatest athlete... but is successful through preparation, repetition, and execution. I would say it is possible Brady's eye is off the ball, and as an extension, the Patriots to some degree. The whole 'contraversy' from last season allowed to simmer the Summer. An obvious 'rift' with Gronkowski and Brady vs Belichick. Missing optional team activities, dedication to Guerero and TB12. Being open about the importance of being a family man. Being open about the thoughts of retirement...

My dad always hated the Bills (and the NFL).

What an excellent match

Thats another issue with minor league baseball. All these trendy 2-word nicknames that are trying too hard to be unique, but they are corny and boring. Zephyrs were awesome as well as the green and blue color scheme.

Fox Sports App on the smartphone is excellent I have to say.

Bob Rich's worth also seems to have ballooned. I'm not sure how it would have gone... but I would currently be a season ticket holder. Talk about a good thing for downtown. A MLB draw for 81 dates would be huge. Its my dream. I'm hoping that someway, somehow we get 1 or 2 fortune 500 white whales through this re-imagining of downtown and Pegula/Rich/etc land a team. Pipe dream, I know. Its not well known, but Mindy and Bob Rich had dinner with the owner of the San Francisco Giants. The Giants' owner was complaining about working with the city, the weather/wind, and Candlestick Park. Mindy, off the cuff proposed him moving the team to Buffalo, the Riches becoming some sort of team/facility "managers", and changing the team name to "New York Giants". The idea was considered and there were a couple of serious meetings. Not sure how close it came to happening (probably not very close), but it was a thing.

Thanks. I try not to save spam though unless it's absolutely necessary

Regardless, this is sad. It is the end of an era. The Buffalo News is in its death throes. This Sports Section has always been a large piece of my sports fan experience, back to when one Sabres column in July would be like water in a desert and I would read it 3 times. The smell of the newspaper is burned in memory. Paper routes, etc. I also know various people who work there who are very worried about their own employment. I know its changed. I still read the columns in TBN when my attention was brought to it. Sometimes I agreed, sometimes I didn't. It was there though and we had coverage from a local media outlet. Yes, they have been negative, but its tough to argue that they haven't been reflective of the perpetual state of these teams. I recall many positive columns written in the Sabres' brief 'glory days' in the modern era October of '05 to May of '07. Graham would be tasked with digging deeper. Whether its his work with Darryl Talley, or his deep-dive into Josh Allen. I think he is an excellent writer and we are poorer if we lose him to a different city or national. His radio show was also a great breath of air from WGR. They would often have Bucky and Sully on and it wasnt a Sabres/Bills bash session. They were very fair. Also had Fairburn, Rodak, Wawrow, etc. These things were probably inevitable. The Buffalo News has had backwards management that failed to adapt effectively in a changing world.
