    Josh thinks he can come off the bench in the NBA

    This is generally true, Pete, most athletes are very good at many different sports, but they’re not so good that they could make a living in another sport. Take the fastest guys in the NFL, they all probably ran track growing up, but none are so great that they could make a living at it. Kyle Williams was an excellent swimmer, Marshawn Lynch was as well and thought he’d beat Williams easily, but Williams smoked him. That said, Kyle isn’t so great a swimmer that he could make money in the sport. He’s not competing with those top athletes. This is true across the board. Whoever the best golfer is in the NFL, I’m sure he’s an outstanding player, but he’s not making a living on a PGA Tour.
     

    I echo the knucklehead who said Josh couldn’t come off an NBA bench. He can’t. He might be a very good basketball player, one of the better guys in the NFL, but he’s not so good that he could realistically compete with other professionals in that sport. Same with Keon, which is why Izzo encouraged him to pursue football when they had a heart to heart chat.
     

    There's tons of guys in the NFL whose first love is basketball, they play for hours in the offseason, might have even been top recruits in HS, but there’s a reason why they’re on a field and not the hardwood. Even McDonald’s All American basketball players flame out. There’s levels to these things!

    Good post.  All the great Tight Ends are playing Power Forward in NBA.  Danny Ainge is one of all time great athletes.  Danny was First Team All American in football, basketball, and baseball.  He played for Blue Jays 3 years before winning championships with Celtics.Tony Gwynn was basketball and baseball all American.  Jackie Robinson was a 4 sport star

    Athletes are great at several sports.  Dave Winfield was drafted in 4 sports.  Rogan says LeBron would be MMA Champion with his build and athletic skills. Athletes come in all shapes and sizes.  Kyle Williams was best athlete on Bills  Great at golf, ping pong, swimming, etc. The Knucklehead with Sal this AM was arguing Josh couldn't play in the NBA for 6 minutes a game, Keon couldn't- hes too short.  Yes Josh could play 6 minutes in the NBA, and Keon Coleman was a top basketball recruit.  He is a a 6'3 point guard that can rain 3s from downtown and throw down 360 degree dunks.   Athletes are great at most everything athletic.  I have a friend who has a beer belly, and no one would peg for athlete.  Ive seen him do backflips diving off a 40 foot cliff, ive seen him hit a softball as far as Ive ever seen one hit, he will ski off 20' cliffs no problem, doing helicopters, hes a 3 handicap.  If you are a good athlete, you are great at most things athletic

    Telling me I have to look twice for motorcycles.  How stupid is that? Like once isn't enough for something you can't see... Now some stupid campaign is telling me I gotta look twice for something that may not be even there.  Sorry, not even on my radar.

     

    We're already stressed out... Why not create a another special group... And while I am looking twice, twice as much time, I may get creamed.

     

    You gotta be kidding! Yeah right.

     

     

    Oh... BTW... That's why there are jug handles in New Jersey and "Michigan Lefts."

     

     

     

     

    I see signs all over the place "motorcycles are everywhere".  I drive over 100 miles every day.,  I will go days without seeing a motorcycle.  I always chuckle to myself, "I thought they were everywhere"  LOL

    Sports talk radio shills trying to convince me what I should bet on.  Honorable mention: radio ads for online betting sites.

     

    These things make me wanna light one up and the next thing you know I'm hard on the brakes and my car smells like a Yuengling. Double whammy.

    Agree.  WGR on Saturday morning is puke worthy.

    That Sperm Bank commercial WGR commercial they run 100s of times a day makes my skin crawl

    I drive a lot with my job, and I have a list.

     

    cars that merge into 70 mph traffic at 50 mph.  Do these nimrods not understand flow?

     

    cars that do the speed limit in passing lane, have cars continue to pass on the right, yet do not move over to the traveling lane where they belong.

     

    #######s who when three lanes morph into two, and there are signs to merge, these selfish idiots wait until the last second to merge.  I NEVER let them in.

     

    people that do not use turn signals.

     

    brake happy people, that constantly brake.  You control speed with gas pedal.  Lay off it, and you don’t need to brake a dozen times.

     

    Slow turns into an empty parking lot.

    5 most underrated pizzerias in WNY

    Santora's Pizza drive-in is ridiculously expensive and inconsistent.  When good, it's great and worth it.  When off, it's a rip-off.  I prefer Papa's Pizza Oven, One Pie, Brooklyn's Finest and PIzza Heist in the Lancaster/Elma/Depew area.

    I grew up in West Seneca, and we moved to New England when I was in 5th grade.  I took an old girlfriend to Buffalo for the 51-3 Raiders game.  We got in town Friday, and first thing I grabbed a pizza from Santoras and some Genesse Cream Ale to show my girl the Buffalo experience.  “This pizza was my favorite when I was a kid. It’s such awesome pizza.”  I was saying to my Connecticut girlfriend, who was used to New Haven Style Pizza(the best).    We got to our hotel room, dug into the pizza- and it was awful!  We threw it out and went for dinner lol. Santoras was no where as good as I remembered it

    i’m not a Parks and Rec guy so it didn’t hit for me…..but was still pretty good.  Maybe someday Josh could nail the Jim from The Office comedic timing, that would be awesome.  He’s got time.

    I don’t watch much TV- but Ron from Parks and Rec is one of great comedic characters.  
     

    I watch sports, documentaries, and the rare funny series.  IMO- Seinfeld, it’s Always Sunny, Curb, Derry Girls, and Park and Rec are the 5 funniest sitcoms.  Most every other show is trash IMO

    I have a growing collection of 1970s/1980s vintage hifi components … used to be a bargain of a hobby, but nowadays, top of the line components from certain brands of the era (marantz, pioneer, sansui) can fetch up to 10k … wife always asks me “do you need more speakers?” … of course I Don NEED then, but … 😂

    me too!  I love vintage gear!   I have Marantz, Rega, Technics 1200, Pioneer, Kloss, Onkyo-  I wish I had Sansui!

    What a delusional fool.

    He gets invited to speak at a commencement, where students have worked for 4+ years on their degree, while spending tens of thousands of dollars...  and he "ventures to guess" that the girls would rather be housewives and spends time speaking about it?

     

    It's such an incredibly stupid thing to say in that situation, basically brushing aside their hard work and achievement, to talk about how great his wife has it.

    Ha!

     

    If my daughter would've been graduating at that ceremony, I would've been PO'd.

     

     

    A very emotional one to boot!

    One basic social skill is to be able to read the room.  It’s obvious this dude lacks this basic social skill

    I collect vinyl, and I have a nice collection.  I also collect cassettes, CDs, and 8 Tracks- but vinyl is my love.

     

    I collect useful nonfiction books and I have a great cookbook collection(actual chefs- no Rachel Ray).

     

    I collect cast iron pans, and tools.

     

    matchbooks.

     

    and of course, anything Bills related.

    I've got a fairly substantial vinyl collection sitting in storage. I keep saying i'll buy a record player and start listening to them again, but i procrastinate a lot.....  

     

     

     

    If you decide to sell your vinyl, I’m quite interested in buying it.

     

     

    One of my biggest joys in life is digging through record bins for hours, and finding a few gems that I need.

     

    45s are my latest addiction

    I know Reid Ferguson is one of the better long snappers in the NFL.  But I have read reports SVPG is best long snapper some scouts have ever seen.  Taking both the salary cap and roster spots into consideration, could Reid be a surprise cut?
