  1. I think there might be more to their problems than an empty coffee pot.
  2. Probably the pole just in front of the stands in this old photo of Braves field (subsequently Boston University and then Nickerson field). In the video of my above post you can see it more clearly than in the original post. I'm also struggling inserting links in to posts!!
  3. http://www.bahistory.org/BravesField_Lo.jpghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPbSgGgL3X0 Patriots played at Boston University Field, formerly Braves Field. I think it's the pole shown at 25:15 of the video of the 1960 Patriots season. Looks to be at the side of the field.
  4. I was thinking a little variation on this. Just have the middle open up and let let Hurts run through for 4 or 5 yards and hit him hard from the side. Make them think twice about running it again. The rule change allowing runner to be pushed from behind never should have been made. How the hell does it improve player safety to let a runner have 300+ pound linemen push him from the front and back.
  5. First guy on the scene just got to my brother's place, said 12 cylinder Bentley motor on the ground, no way it was an accident. I have no idea what that means.
  6. I'll let him know you like it...he's very proud of it. ?My brother's text says car was coming from US...
  7. My brother's bar is 2 blocks away, he says firefighters on scene say probable electrical failure in car, not a bomb.
  8. Flo makes $2,000,000 a year doing those
  9. Little doubt there's room for improvement but how would we know? First step is to start enforcing our immigration laws. After that we can go about seeing what's working and what can be improved by changing them.
  10. yesterday may have been the smoothest trip home I've had in the 50 years I've been going to games.
  11. Must have been an end of the rack that caught the bottom corner of the windshield, front door was dented but would open, back door wouldn't even open, and there was a piece of his tail left on the tail light. Friggin thing still ran off after all that. Bet he had one hell of a headache though. Guessing he probably died at some point but he got away from the accident.
  12. For me the one positive of a so-so season is hopefully not having so many prime time games next year. Driving back to Rochester after Sunday, Monday, and Thursday nite games is becoming more of a chore than a pleasure, the next two 4:25 games aren't so great either. We hit a deer on the way back from the Bucs game (testament to Honda that we were able to drive it the last 60 miles, insurance company totaled my buddy's car.) Hope the Dallas game doesn't get flexed. The away games have been filled with prime time as well. Guess that's the price of success, but I do miss the routine of the steady diet of 1:00 o'clock games during the drought!
  13. Civil suit still pending
  14. Here's one that that almost made the list. 3 weeks ago, under 10 minutes left in the game, up 24-10 against the Bucs and people are leaving the game in droves. I'm shouting "what is it about being a Bills fan makes you think this game is over?" Thankfully the last pass fell harmlessly to the ground or we'd have to add "Hail Mayfield" to the list.
  15. re women living longer - Women have always had a longer life expectancy, at least since that data has been collected. Honestly they're just stronger. Why do you think God chose them to bear children. re other countries have longer life expectancies - With all the fast and processed food we consume in this country combined with sedentary jobs and lifestyles it would be a surprise if other countries didn't have longer life expectancies.
  16. I mean, 2 years ago we can't hold on for 13 seconds. Last year give up a touchdown while trying to execute victory formation kneel down, which would have given us home field advantage, facing the winner of the chiefs/bengals game instead of the chiefs facing the winner of bills/bengals. This year we don't have the correct personnel on the field after 2 timeouts when it was clear the other team was just taking a knee setting up for a field goal. At what point do you put the blame on the head coach.
  17. Just another example of the horrendous use of replay by this regime. Too many plays like this one go unchallenged. The one time McDermott chose to challenge was last week on an incompletion that had no chance of being overturned to a catch.
  18. https://www.on3.com/pro/news/buffalo-bills-new-stadium-could-pose-one-huge-problem-to-season-ticket-holders/ Most of what I found on the interwebs suggest licensing fee will be between $500 for nose bleeds (like my seats) up to $16,500 for premium seats. Didn't see anything that said 18K.
  19. Bills offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey fired, sources say - ESPN https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38896424/bills-offensive-coordinator-ken-dorsey-fired-sources-say
  20. You're probably aware, this is called sundowning. Almost the exact same with both my parents (both of whom lived past 100)
  21. Re #1 - Tried it 2 or 3 times that I recall, and every time the play was blown up. Understand why we've scrapped it. Re #2 - Reminds me of what Wade Phillips said about Chris Watson..."He's more of a punt catcher."
  22. I was thinking the same thing. 2 still active in football, one as an announcer, one as a coach.
  23. I thought this was going to be a thread about chauvinistic jokes. How many men does it take to do the dishes? None, that's women's work. How many men does it take to change a light bulb? None, if your wife can't change it herself let her do the dishes in the dark. Things of that nature. (now if you'll excuse me I have some dishes to do before it gets dark.)
