My mother and sisters live in Colorado, so a place out west is in our sights... Colorado is too expensive, but New Mexico fits the bill. We considered Flagstaff as John Fina recommended it, but Flagstaff may be too pricey for us even though it's beautiful.

I hate it here in the Youngstown area... it's like being in a place where all the people that gave a crap all left, leaving *mostly* old people and the dregs of society. The people that live on my street leave trash in their yards, let their kids do what they want, loud bass/music, cars and trucks with no bumpers and busted out headlights (as the geniuses here have no annual inspections) and recently my car was stolen after we got back from the fair but was recovered. I am the sort of person who enjoys both the city and country myself, a rare person these days. I can't take the cold that I love anymore because my lungs are shot so we were contemplating New Mexico or just buying a large RV and sticking to the southwest... anything but this miserable rainy and cold hellscape!

My mother had to sell after my dad died... there was no way she could maintain the house by herself. Now although the house is still there, the land around it is inundated with overpriced new housing on what used to be hundreds of acres of forest and they actually built the light rail my dad advocated for publicly in the paper and on TV for YEARS. Kind of depressing to see everything now and know that part of my life died with him.

No, it was in the suburbs right outside of Charlotte, NC... not really rural. In those days you either had a huge dish or rabbit ears. There was no cable service to our house available until the late 80s.

I was born in 1973, so I lived a life as a kid growing up with antenna TV, no video game consoles and no VCR until 1985, so no MTV. We had 8 tracks and vinyl albums. Growing up during the late 70s is vastly different than being born in the late 70s

Try explaining to people the split amongst Gen X which is very real! I've lived it for the past 21 years with my wife, who is 45 and I'm 50. I got the late 70s and early 80s which were different than the late 80s and early 90s, so there are some things she doesn't get that I get.

We're not the Jests. BIG NO!!!

The Stillers are trying to dump their garbage onto others... they finally realized it's not a Pickett issue but a WR/OL issue.

That day in 2000 was inevitable since our QBs were so piss poor back then... we weren't going to win like any of them were used to winning. It was just a harbinger for things to come and Bledsoe's one season of solid play was an aberration.

Your opinion is about as valid as Nick Wright's here.

Ohh great, all this board needs is more Araiza-like vomited threads.

Thank you, because there was a reason why he didn't before, genius. "Rob Gronkowski discussed the situation on an episode of the New Heights podcast with Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce." ... ""I'm like, 'These #######s, I'm gonna remember that one.' No, it was actually pick number 41. They know they passed me and then I was pissed. Kind of, I was like, dude, like I could have just played for my hometown team. They don't have a tight end and they passed me at 41, and then the Patriots traded up, actually from the Oakland Raiders to number 42 and got me at number 42. And right there on the spot, I was just like, 'Oh, like after Bills?' They didn't want to take me, same conference and all that. I was a Bills fan growing up all the way to that moment right there."" https://www.sportskeeda.com/nfl/news-these-a-holes-i-m-gonna-remember-one-rob-gronkowski-extremely-angry-bills-drafting

This isn't new... a nothing story. It happens. https://www.boston.com/sports/new-england-patriots/2023/01/17/rob-gronkowski-explains-why-he-retired-instead-of-signing-with-his-hometown-buffalo-bills/

Speaking of commercials... Taste long lasting freshness with Big Red Calgon, take me away! Time to make the donuts! Please don't squeeze the Charmin Be all that you can in the Army Nobody demands more from a Datsun than Datsun... we are driven Where's the Beef? I got into Alan Parsons Project in my 40s, so I really never heard that song! This was the very first song I ever remember, a scratched 45 from my brother:

Tim Graham is in the Sully category... Ty Dunne isn't THAT bad.

Unless it's guns... then of course NOBODY in the GOP cares about mass shootings and/or school shootings. LMAO Yeah, we see you flapping your arms and gums there, Joe McCarthy

I don't have to answer your questions, Kriminaloberassistent. Take your fascist crusade somewhere else... this is America. Sorry you have to deal with such a vile person hell bent on serving you up as the most evil person in the world. Let him wallow in his Gestapo-like tactics, I'm done with the cretin.

You sound like the disgusting human being, to be honest... people refusing to answer your questions and then you reaching a baseless conclusion and pronouncing guilt is what the Third Reich courts used to do in conjunction with the Gestapo.

With the amount of injuries our defense suffered, this is a completely unfair comment. Without any play by Willie Gay, Nick Bolton, Trent McDuffie and L'Jarius Sneed DO THE CHIEFS WIN THE SUPER BOWL??? NOPE. The Chiefs have to be the luckiest team we've ever seen over the last 4 years when it comes to injuries.

It wouldn't be an issue if the Von contract wasn't hurting us and we weren't in a transitional year. The microscope naturally moves onto those players who haven't lived up to their deals, and Knox has been dealing with both loss and battling through injuries. Let's ease up on the dramatic Knox contract talk. You basically said the same thing I did... JINX!!!

I think it's McDermott's fault, personally.

Point #1: We could make up for one of our starting WRs playing poorly, but for TWO to is a difference we could not overcome. We cannot talk about Gabe without talking about Stef. That's the difference in the end. We needed AT LEAST ONE to ball out and we got neither. Point #2: Remember that the Chiefs receivers were all inconsistent but in the end when they needed them they showed up. Timing is everything.

The waiting is killing me, Smalls... this will be the biggest pre-draft news by far if he extends in Buffalo.

I have noticed a major decline in quality from several businesses and when I do some research, I see that they were bought by a private equity firm and frankly it's getting out of hand. If you examine the businesses which fall under Bain Capital alone you will see what I mean... AMC Theatres, Artisan Entertainment, Aspen Education Group, Apex Tool Group, Brookstone, Burger King, Burlington Coat Factory, Canada Goose, DIC Entertainment, Domino's Pizza, DoubleClick, Dunkin' Donuts, D&M Holdings, Guitar Center, Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), iHeartMedia, ITP Aero, KB Toys, Sealy, Sports Authority, Staples, Toys "R" Us, Virgin Australia, Warner Music Group, Fingerhut, Athenahealth, The Weather Channel, Varsity Brands and Apple Leisure Group. How many of those companies are BETTER in quality and service since they took over?

If ANY private equity firm was involved in the future of the Bills, I AM OUT... they destroy everything they touch. The Bundesliga fan protests are warranted and most Americans have no idea this trend is kicking up.
