    it’s western NY. 
     

    you needed it 

    2 weeks out of the year 

    😝

    Technically it’s Central NY, having lived in Syracuse I’m aware that on average eleven sunny days a year, but that does not change the fact that the Carrier Dome is named for an air conditioning company. I believe that the fact it did not have AC until recently is ironic.

  2. What strikes me about the Pegulas is the lack of pretense. We were incredibly lucky they stepped up in 2014. 
     

    I don’t watch a lot of tennis, I will watch the majors, paying specific attention to Jessica and her doubles partner, Delray Beach’s own Coco Gauff. Jessica is ten years older and their backgrounds couldn’t be more different. I’ve lived in Delray for over 30 years, longer than I lived anywhere, including Tonawanda. Coco’s family is part of the history of Delray. Her grandmother was the first student to integrate the high school in 1961, her grandfather started little league baseball for Black players in 1971. Jessica is a friend and mentor to Coco. I find it inspiring.

    OJ & Bruce we’re 1st overall picks. Allen* ‘dropping’ to 7th overall will never be forgiven by the fans whose team didn’t select him. The Juice was a phenom, though he played with 2 HOF Guards, brilliant WRs and a very effective HC & QB. Bruce was literally surrounded by HOFers -including his coach & was excellent vs the run. But he was significantly more productive as a pass rusher because of the immense talent on his offenses. The Unicorn* -remember, your read that here 1st- still has no clue how great he can be as he’s personally aced every pressure situation he’s faced to date. Barring injury, he’s a lock as most talented ever. But remember, so was Tom Sestak, Robert James & Jerry Butler, all of whom only enjoyed a few great seasons before injuries killed their careers. As to the OP’s request for my Top 5, I’ll add Butch Byrd and Cookie Gilcrest. Byrd was an enigma, built like a LB and ferocious. His 40 career INTs will likely never be topped. Cookie and Terrell Owens we’re also enigmas  whose character quirks had them playing for multiple teams, wearing out their welcome with each stop while being eye-poppingly incredible players.

    Honorable mention: Cornelius Bennett

    I agree, I saw all those guys play, however I think Bruce Smith has to get the nod. Bruce had the ability to step up and take over a game. That is a rare talent.
