Update
I was told I could interview if I still wanted, but they want someone with a ba. All i have is an associates degree I got at El Camino Community college.
What sucks is that my current regional has a high school diploma only. He was the regional before a big merger in 2007. So he's excluded from new rules.
I work at one of those companies where the top head never quit/resign/get fired/leave. So basically it's manager for the time being. I get 5k college money every year. Maybe it's that time to do the online thing. I've been putting off. Damn. Curse. Damn. Curse.
Ps. It's a fortune 500 company. Very corporate. Glad I dont work at one of the corporate offices. If I interview, I would impress them, without a doubt. However, I wouldnt meet the requirements, so I would just be wasting time.
Definitely not a waste of time. Do it.

Here's a thought: Pay people a wage that they can live on. Tipping becomes an 'attaboy' bonus.
Who is Ted William?

A $3 tip is offensive, and Marrone WAS Brees' Offensive Coordinator.
I blame Marrone.
Finally, a voice of reason. So we have a loudmouth, crack under pressure, cheap ass head coach. It all makes sense now. I bet Marrone is the one who advised Brees to keep that rat's ass on his cheek, too.
-
Didn't Sal M. make that correlation in his hatchet piece mere hours after the PC? To paraphrase, "If Marrone loses his cool here, what's he gonna do in a tight game situation?" He slid a few rungs down my credibility ladder after that connect the dots crap.
GO BILLS!!!
Is your ladder like a little step ladder or a big extension ladder?

Life is staged. Sometimes it plays out like you want it to. Sometimes it doesn't.
All the world's indeed a stage, and we are merely players. Performers and portrayers. Each another's audience outside the gilded cage.

I tip on take-out - every single time, but for pizza. We've covered this here before, but I'm too lazy to look it up.
That bag of food didn't just appear. Someone took your order, made your salad (without onions, extra tomatoes, and dressing on the side), packed up your dinner so it wouldn't spill, packed your utensils, napkins and sauces. Then they checked that your order was complete. THEN when you received your bag. There is also a lot of back and forth about who has to work those shifts and what they get paid for doing so. Those servers are no different than the ones that wait on your sit down dinners, other than performing less per customer for more customers.
So, I tip $2 to $4 on my takeout. It's not 15-20%, but I didn't receive 15-20% service. However, I DID receive service and quite often by people paid as wait staff, but not getting a normal shift to make their tip money.
Argue all you want for your personal cheapness, and argue you will, but try doing a search or two about this and maybe you'll think differently.
But who gets the tip? You tip your waitperson because you know they'll get (at least a portion of) the tip. You tip a bartender for the same reason. Same with a delivery person. You are tipping for service ... never the cook who made the food.
For takeout, that means you're tipping the person who put your food into containers and bagged it up. I'm not cheap (okay, I am, but I'm a decent tipper) - I just don't see anyone deserving a tip for takeout.

Guess where Drew Brees isn't going back to eat.
I would fire her for costing me business.
You can call and ask for her, or ask for her to be fired by name.
-
It was takeout. Why leave any tip? They put the food in a friggin' bag.
-
ADD: thanks to those, GG and WEO among others, for their defense -- in this instance -- of me. i couldn't let them continue on without posting a note of my own.
not entirely sure how to answer that. questions were asked, answers were provided. i wrote a story.

Productive T.C. interviews are overrated.

Cheesemaking, distillery, Watkins Glen, and some wonderful scenery. But if all I had was wine and lakes not sure what else I need.
A fishing pole and a corkscrew.

Lake Placid will never host again... AND the reason why they got another crack in 1980 is because Vancouver/BC (I think it was Vancouver?) bailed out late.
Lake Placid was the fall back facility.
But they pulled it off. I guess I'm just trying to say that no NFL city can be ruled out .. including Buffalo.
-
Is it possible? They talk about the minimum hotel rooms needed... BFLO doesn't even come close. Now Toronto maybe...
It's a lofty dream I have for the city, that's all.
And Lake Placid hosted the Olympics. Lake Placid is a tiny community. The Olympics are a heck of a lot bigger than the Super Bowl.
I don't think anything is impossible.
Hell, they have a 1/32 chance like everyone else.
-
If the New Jersey Super Bowl goes well, I would love for that to set the table for a future Super Bowl in Buffalo. That would give the economy a nice shot in the arm.

Probably because we are most familiar with them. They may not be the worst. They may be quite typical.
That was my point in the first place. Perhaps he'll be able to understand it with your verbiage.

Wow you are defensive, what make you think i'm bashing buffalo?
I'm not being defensive. I'm not defending anyone. I'm just wondering why it seems that people think Buffalo's reporters are the worst in the league. I'm not saying they're great. I'm just wondering if this is the norm, as far as NFL beat reporting goes.
As far as you claiming not to be bashing anyone ... "you don't have to pass an IQ test to become a reporter...what a bunch of tools" - - that's bashing.
But don't confuse me with someone who gives a crap. I don't know those dudes, so bash away.

I went today as well.
Just a couple things real quick
- Woods dropped a couple of easy balls that absolutely shouldnt of been dropped, he is also much smaller then I thought in person but he also made a few plays.
- Manuel looked decent, they started throwing the house at him today and it is actually incredible watching Pettines defense because it is just all attack all the time.
- Gilmore is a stud, this isnt just Bills fan bias when you watch him you know you are watching one of the best players at his position bar none, and he was still working on his hands after practice.
- Dareus got all one reps today so that thing early in the week with everyone flipping out was because he was sick.
- I was in the VIP tent after practice with just 4 of my friends and Kiko stopped by and talked to us for about 15 minutes, he is absolutely hilarious and was actually really a cool guy. Talked about his High-school and how trent was there and he just looked absolutely exhausted but hes a worker. In his words he just said "play, film, eat, sleep"
My 2 cents.
Thanks for the addition.
When you say Pettine's defense is all attack, all the time ... how did the backfield do with downfield coverage during those attacks?
- Woods dropped a couple of easy balls that absolutely shouldnt of been dropped, he is also much smaller then I thought in person but he also made a few plays.

A troll is not defined as someone who has a different opinion than your own.
Then back up your opinion with some fact.
-
You don't have to pass an IQ test to become a reporter...
I honestly cringe when I hear some of the questions these Bills reporters ask on a daily basis, what a bunch of tools...
And what makes you think reporters covering the other 31 teams aren't asking the same exact types of questions?

I've worked with people and have clients that were raised in eastern Europe during the 50's, 60's and 70's. They are very interesting people to talk to and they to a person tell me we have no idea how well we have it here.
Hell my father in law wrote a book about his escape as a Jew from Nazi Germany.
What's the book? I enjoy reading books on that topic.

Concerned about Chandler.
Psyched about Gilmore and Rogers.
Happy about Choice. I've always liked that signing and glad he's here.
Thanks again for doing this, Astro.

Another well-thought out, stellar contribution. Troll.
