Sabres & NHL 2017-18 - Entry Draft on June 22
thebandit27 replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in Off the Wall Archives
There are compelling reasons to think each one could have the inside track: Housley has the Buffalo history, Tocchet has the familiarity with Botteril, and Reirden has the very similar career arc to Botteril. -

SE is excellent, but allrecipes is a very good resource as well. I'll typically cross-reference until I find a highly-rated recipe on one site that is backed up by recommendations on the other. -

I have a very thick frame too--I'm slightly over 5'6" and have been as heavy as 205. I last competed in 165's, but some of those dudes are 180 lb-ers that water cut for meet day, so they blow my doors off. At 148's, I can go more than 2xBW in the squat, close to 1.7xBW in the flat bench, and close to 3.5xBW in the deadlift, so if I catch the right flight on the right day I actually stand a chance. -

You are correct sir! I'm happy to help out...Shoot me a PM and I'll send something over when I bust out the work computer tomorrow. Spoiler alert: I lift really heavy and do zero cardio -

Actually, zero. I only lift 3x per week, and I get up at 5 AM before the wife and kids every day, so it's pretty easy for me to get there. This cut has actually been the easiest of my life by a mile. I've gained in every lift save for the flat press, which I've maintained. I'm down 21 lbs since March 1st and am 7 away from reaching the next weight class (148's), where I could actually stand a chance of winning a meet or two. The most interesting part is that I have given up very little in terms of foods that I love--only Paula's donuts (which I'll definitely have on Father's Day). I still eat cookies, chips, chocolate, ribeye, bacon, butter, etc. -

Probably keep it simple and make tacos tonight. I'm still cutting down a weight class so dessert will most likely be these PB-banana-oat cookies I found online; I can eat a half dozen of them for only 400 calories -

Jeff, You have got to learn how to qualify statements. Your global declarations regarding the HC's coaching style, performance, approach to team-building, and game management philosophy are heretofore entirely unfounded. The guy has not presided over a single game as a HC yet. Is it too much to hope that you wait for a scintilla of evidence before you makes leaps and bounds toward preset conclusions? -
Bills 2017 Preview: Setting the Edge (Justis Musqueda)
thebandit27 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm a medium Shaq guy It's no question, IMO, that he's a much better fit in this scheme as a 9T/7T. I'm hopeful that he's a bit better than I think he'll be though; I see him as a career 6-8 sack/year guy who will also be a solid run defender It's entirely possible that I am underestimating him though; he did lead FBS in tackles for a loss as a senior -

He's a huge Shaq guy IIRC -
Something I just realized watching that...just seeing Sammy's practice speed is invigorating to the fan in me. If he truly does return 100%, he brings something to the offense that nobody else in the AFC East has. Also, Zay seems to have that natural plucks-the-ball instinct, which is nice to see.

Not Bills-related, but I found this funny: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/06/08/christian-hackenberg-passes-hit-defenders-and-reporters-at-jets-otas/

There's a few things, mostly that the crust has perfect thickness--between that of think crust and deep dish. Also, the sauce is a bit sweeter in general. The hidden secret, however, is something that most people don't know...it's literally in the water. When I worked in the restaurant industry, we sent our head chef to a national convention. At the convention, each of the chefs was given water from 100 cities around the country to use to make mini pizza crusts using a stock flour mixture. The crusts made with Buffalo water were almost unanimously chosen as the best. Indeed...see above -

Your family's from Williamsville, right? I always hated that we had another Bocce on Hopkins with the same recipe, but that they were so poorly run that we kept having to go to Bailey. -

Go to Roost...go in a group, because the pizzas are just the beginning. Currently in Baltimore -

Just order nation-wide delivery my friend: http://nationwide.bocceclubpizza.com/c-51-original-bocce-pizza.aspx My cousins around the country do it a few times a year because they simply need it -

Fair enough. I have Bocce as my clear #1, but the rest of my top 5 is up for debate, and includes Imperial, Bob & John's La Hacienda, Buzzy's, Gino & Joe's. This is, of course, for traditional take-out style pizza. For all styles, the best pizza I've ever had in my life is from Roost on Niagara Street. Cooked in a special oven crafted in Italy, it makes stone-oven pies in less than 90 seconds, and the toppings are high class, fancy fare (like duck confit, figs and prosciutto, sopressata and pickled peppers, etc.). Menu rotates on a biweekly and seasonal basis too. -

Nor will you. However, they're slowly expanding throughout the east coast, so there's always a chance. Right now, they're as far east as NYC and Boston, and as far south as Virginia. -

What about Bocce on Bailey? -
Cap issues become less relevant if you can clear Bogosian, Gorges, Moulson, and Ennis. That said, the need for a veteran D-man is more than palpable. I'm not opposed to getting it done by moving Kane, but I would want to feel good about a guy like Fasching or Bailey being able to step into a physical role in the top-6.

Wegmans does the nitro cold brew at their coffee bar now...delicious. Totally worth paying double the price of a typical cold brew. You've gotta be kidding me...on both accounts -
