    2023 Concerts

    @T&C - Lo and behold, I recently got notifications for both Styx and John Mellencamp playing (not together) at the Palace Theatre in Albany, which is my favorite venue of all time. Just under 3K seats; great acoustics; fantastic atmosphere. I hope this trend continues.
  2. He couldn’t build a Lincoln Log cabin.
  3. Is it really toasted?
  4. I can't say I was ever a huge McCarver fan, but he had one hell of a career. RIP https://nypost.com/2023/02/16/tim-mccarver-legendary-broadcaster-dead-at-81/
  5. This really sucks, dude. I found this article that has a bunch of information on how to recover accounts - even in your situation. Hope it's helpful! https://ccm.net/apps-sites/social-media-instant-messaging/469-how-to-recover-a-facebook-account/
  6. She said "I know what it's like to be dead I know what it is to be sad And it's making me feel like I've never been born"
  7. This is how I've always thawed shrimp, too.
  8. It's not her fault that her parents are idiots. I actually feel bad for her.
  9. This reminds me of when we brought Dave Wannestadt in. Sometimes (always), the game evolves and old coaches don’t. Oh … and f*ck Rex Ryan.
  10. Stifle it, Edith. I said nothing about any child. Have an adult read what I wrote to you.
  11. Allrecipes.com is my go to when I need ideas. Lots of great recipes with common ingredients.
  12. No. What's odd is that stupid spelling.
  13. Has any other professional athlete ever been WORSE at hiding the truth than this yokel?
  14. That's my assumption, yes. So effin' stupid.
  15. One of Adam Henry's daughter's name is Kynidee. I already hate his ***** guts.

  17. In all seriousness, I somewhat agree with Josh and Beane. I get - and agree - with what you're saying, as far as not wanting to copy the Chiefs, per se, because like you said - we'll always be behind if that's the plan. But I'm interpreting this a little differently. I think it's more of: we need a better O-line; we need better pass catching options; we need better coaching. That's really what most teams need. Those are also all areas in which Kansas City is better than Buffalo. That's just my take, anyway. Oh ... one more thing ... not quitting midway through the first quarter of a playoff game would be a nice enhancement, too.
  18. Why are you so poisonous?
  19. Having a sex doll is sick enough ... but a CHILD-SIZED sex doll? Jesus.
  20. If you actually spent upwards of $8000 for a refrigerator, then you're a bigger sucker than anyone who buys an extended warranty.
  21. Why would anyone ever doubt Dave Grohl?
  22. Holy crap, I missed this! HFBD, @ExiledInIllinois!!!
  23. I agree with all of this.
  24. When I think of David Wright and the Hall of Fame, my initial thought is that he doesn't stand out as Cooperstown material. However ... as you mentioned, the HOF has definitely become watered down (much to my dismay) and I did come across this short, related piece ... https://www.prosportsfanatics.com/mlb/david-wrights-case-for-the-hall-of-fame Compared to other third basemen’s statistics currently in the Baseball Hall of Fame, Wright's career statistics are eye-opening. Wright’s career .296 batting average is better than current Hall of Famers such as Mike Mike Schmidt, Ron Santo, Jimmy Collins, and Eddie Matthews. Wright also had 242 career home runs, 124 more than Wade Boggs, who only had 118. The seven-time All-Star also finished with more home runs than other Hall of Fame members such as Freddie Lindstrom and Paul Molitor. According to Baseball-Reference, Wright ranks 24th among the Third Base JAWS Leaders. That is a higher ranking than six current third basemen in the Baseball Hall of Fame. He might just make it. He finished at .296 lifetime with 970 RBI. Had he finished at .300 with 1000 RBI, I'd say he'd be a definite. But that will likely be close enough. I'd love to see it. EDIT: I looked at his stats a little more closely and was reminded of the 2009 season, where his power took a significant dip, thanks to the opening of Citi Field. He had been averaging about 30 HRs and over 100 RBI per season leading up to the 2009 season. In 144 games, he hit 10 HR and had 72 RBI. He hit for average, of course, but that season is what stands out the most as the one that kept him from the 1000 career RBI mark. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/w/wrighda03.shtml
