  1. Obviously has to start getting her first serve in if she's going to crack the top 5. Only saw the second half of the second set but the rest of her game was solid. Shouldn't lose in straight sets when breaking six times. Don't think her age is that big of a thing, tennis doesn't beat on the body like football. Seems like she's very aware of nutrition science.
  2. Interview here with YF (no idea who YF is) talking late peak, state of tennis post Serena, Bills, etc. https://finance.yahoo.com/video/tennis-star-jessica-pegula-talks-210812431.html
  3. He knew how to celebrate a touchdown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qigEsJlcFvo
  4. He's had a bad couple of days. Beat the Rams no one will remember.
  5. So, if it "Doesn't have to be fine dining or anything" (your words, not mine) I'll suggest The Craft Kitchen and Bar, corner of Third and Ferry...223 Ferry Ave is the actual address. Owner and his GF are big time Bills/Sabres fans, season ticket holders. If you stop by before Monday he might invite you to his game day tailgate party which is across the street from Hammer's. Best pizza in Niagra Falls. Full disclosure, owner is my brother so I might be a bit biased.
  6. Are you suggesting that there are better uses for tax dollars than making line dancing, Star Trek, and Gilligan's Island parity videos? Don't you know how important team building is?
  7. So one of the big things in the inflation reduction act is increasing the size of the IRS to try to reclaim missed taxes. Wouldn't it make more sense to implement a consumption tax and decrease the size of the IRS? Avoid all those federal salaries and health care policies. This would tax those that have income from alternative means, no loopholes for the rich. Japan has had a consumption tax for over 30 years, a lot of growing pains could be avoided studying that history.
  8. Mailed my taxes in late March, still haven't received my return. Soon it looks like I'll be getting audited before receiving my return. Maybe these resources should be spent on processing returns instead instead of auditing them.
  9. Thanks, '95 was the one year wonder season I was thinking about, the numbers looked a little lower than I remembered in 93. Then they fell off a bit in 94 and I didn't look at 95. Rookie mistake!
  10. Bills offered Wolford as much money as the Colts, it was the escalator clause they couldn't match. Something along the lines of being paid more than any defensive player and being the second highest paid offensive player. Bills had Smith and Bennett on defense, Thomas, Reed, Kelly on offense. Bills couldn't match those salaries. NFL allowed the clause but no others. Ralph went to his grave being pissed about that one...so will I! Lots of good names, I'll add Bill Brooks. in 93 he had 60 catches, over 700 yards and 5 TD. It was a different era, Kelly had 18 TD passes that year.
  11. Really? You work for a packaging company, it's either corrugated or paperboard.
  12. What did Marv used to say about depth...oh yeah...depth is a great thing, until you have to use it
  13. You can't look at individuals since there have been no repeat champions, you need to look at sponsors. The Rocky Mountain News sponsored 7 winners between 1957 and 2002. Or was this a rhetorical analogy?
  14. Once again it appears I was the only one expecting this to be a "would ya" thread
  15. Not to dwell on the obvious but Ruth would had to have been at least in his 90's to face those guys. All right, went for humor first but editing with a few little known facts about the Babe. Lou Gehrig is the all time Yankee leader in stealing home with 15. Babe is second with 10 (tied for 32nd all time.) Babe held the record for consecutive scoreless innings pitched in world series for 43 years until Whitey Ford broke it (it's since been broken again at least once.) Last Boston Red sox pitcher to have back to back 20 game win seasons was Roger Clemens in 86-87. The last Red Sox pitcher to accomplish the feat before that was Babe Ruth in 16-17. Was a much better trivia question before Clemens won his 20th in 87. 2.28 career ERA is 15th all time
  16. Never understood the Chewbacca defense. It makes no sense.
  17. Haven't read through 4 pages but my shoulder surgeon told me Nolan Ryan would throw a football to warm up to get that pure overhand motion. What's unnatural isn't the pure overhand motion but coming from the side like I did for 40 years of playing softball. Ryan didn't have the surgery even when it was recommended by Dr. Jobe.
  18. re zinc - while it does have some absorption in to the cells on its own, best to take it with quercetin...zinc is the nail, quercetin the hammer if you will re D3 - another good one, my PSA has gone from over 15 to under 4 in the 6 years I've had prostate cancer. Only difference I can put my finger on is taking D3 daily. When first diagnosed the good folks at Roswell wanted me to participate in a vitamin D3 study that would be 9 months actual supplement, 9 months placebo, 3 months nothing in between. I declined the study but took the advice and so far everything has stayed in check without treatment (while not a vital organ, the prostate sure is a useful one and I'm going to keep it as long as possible.) Omega 3-6-9 (commonly found in fish oil, I take a supplement that is a blend of different plants and oils to avoid the dreaded fish burps) can help with cholesterol, especially improving the good.) re C - should probably take daily but do not, only when coming down with something.
  19. Rams traded up to the Bills spot at 8 to get Austin, Bills got EJ, think it was at 15 or 16, then took Kiko with the Rams second round pick and Woods with their own
  20. I like this...Rational and sound planning sounds a lot better than only so much even I could piss away so figured putting it in the retirement plan was as good a place as any for what was left over🙂
  21. It was on tnt. Not sure there will be a replay, better off watching the YouTube highlight replay
  22. Not disputing the post, actually agree with it. Just wondering why fixed incomes are always associated only with retired folks. When working I didn't get to tell the boss that Christmas was right around the corner, need to get an extra couple thousand this month. I can actually withdraw from my rainy day fund without penalty (aka roth & to an extent traditional ira) when a few extra bucks are needed now.
  23. Apparently I'm the only one that expected this to be a "would ya" thread
