Johnny Hammersticks

If you walk around the lots and are nice to people you will get fed. My son and I parked in Hammers lot for the falcons game last season, and ended up sharing some quality VT beers with some guys parked next to us. They gave us some delicious prime rib sandwiches to eat before the game. We brought some subs, so we saved them for after the game.

Give up: Saquon Barkley Get: Justin Jefferson Kareem Hunt Obviously this trade is only good if Kareem gets traded to a team where he’d be the feature RB. Would be a gamble….thoughts?

Hope you didn’t cash out.

He would have made a guaranteed 14-17 million speculating that he may have gone between 15-20. Before the scandal came out, he was widely considered at top 10 pick. Glad to hear that he’s doing well and has a lovely family.

They call them grinders here in Vermont. I refuse.

Well then…

I guess he isn’t big on winning rings. I would assume his agent is asking for an extension as a condition of any trade.

I would not give up more than a 4th for a one year rental. Not to mention you’re taking away from the development of James Cook. I’m okay with a CMC trade, but not if the cost is what I think it likely is. Beane will do the right thing.

Has he been that bad? I haven’t noticed. Which I thought was a good thing…

Put the flag up first thing gameday morning. My son lit the Josh Allen/Diggs candles immediately before kickoff. Took a shot after every Bills TD. Wore the Wyoming JA jersey and the Bills socks my wife bought me for my annual first game gift (yes, the socks turned out to be good juju). I actually had to watch the game on delay bc I had to coach in a lacrosse tournament. I thought this was going to be problematic, but everything turned out well.

Both McKenzie and Shakir will get snaps moving forward. Shakir can play outside also. He should be the clear WR 4 without a doubt. McKenzie is still a very good WR/returner.

Damar Hamlin has played really well, IMO.

In middle school I had a paper route. Interestingly, my first day was during that huge snow storm in 1993. When I turned 14 I got a job washing dishes at a local restaurant. Fell in love with the restaurant biz…learned how to cook on the line, wait tables, and bartend. Worked at the same restaurant throughout HS (Balloons Rest in Auburn, NY) and during summers in college. A couple consecutive summers I got a job at the West Chop Club in Martha’s Vineyard. My friend was the executive chef there, so he got me a job as the “beach guard.” The club owned a section of beach and only members were allowed. I sat there all day and when a car pulled in I just had to check that they had the club sticker on their vehicle. I think maybe 10-15 cars came each summer. I just sat on the beach, fished, swam, and smoked weed. It was great. In the evening I would bartend or wait tables in the restaurant. I have some very interesting celebrity stories.

Not planning on the casino for this trip, but I definitely want to take the wife some time for a Saturday night/NFL Sunday trip. She can play the slots while I hang at the sports book and bet on games. Is it nice?

I don’t know if I’ve ever been to Utica in my life, but I have heard that the city is known for its Italian cuisine. The tomato pie sounds like a great lunch idea. East Utica Greens came highly recommended by a colleague of mine. Not sure what they are. Looks like sautéed greens with bread crumbs, hot peppers and pecorino romano. Worth a shot.

Gee thanks 😂 I think the plan is to hit up Delmonico’s for dinner on Friday. Still looking for a place to check our Friday night for a few beers and some bar food. Also, a good breakfast joint for Saturday morning 👍

Good breakfast spots for Sat morn would also be welcome 🤙

ehhhh…not my vibe. I’m 43, married with 2 kids, and pretty well beaten down by life. Just looking for some beers and decent bar food until midnight 😂

Any peeps here reside in or are familiar with the Utica area? I’m going on a work trip there soon (Fri/Sat), and I need some good food/bar recommendations. Particularly interested in hearing about bar recommendations for places that serve food and are open until midnight. Staying near downtown Utica. Have Uber to get around. Thanks y’all and go Bills!

I don’t hate the idea.

Yeah, I agree that Brett has used up his get out of jail free cards. What a dirt bag.

Never experienced or witnessed that. Sorry. Boobs are awesome. Women who have their boobs removed are also awesome. That better?

What the heck kind of response is this? Of course a woman having a mastectomy due to breast cancer doesn’t make her “less awesome.” What the matter with you?

This looks like a “I started drinking heavily at 11am” game day thread.
