Murph's track record of minimal on air racial and homophobic slurs makes him the top of his profession right now. You can't just go out and find a guy who doesn't drop the occasional N-bomb on a hot mic. If you could, everyone would have that guy.

The kid is relentless. The whole thread is a good watch.

I paddle boarded once. It was more difficult than I anticipated a solid full body workout to do it right. It was a lot harder to maneuver than I anticipated but I understand the hardboards are more agile than the inflatable boards. I think you need a totally calm day for best results. I was not that impressed but my wife loves it.

New Haven style is pretty close to New York style. The main difference is the char and making clam pizza a thing. https://www.eater.com/2014/3/18/6264277/the-definitive-guide-to-new-haven-pizza

I'm up over 100% YTD on GBTC. Thats pretty good I think.

That would be a great post were it a relevant response to anything I had said. OP said Fitz had strong defenses which is patently false. Fitz played during our ill fated switch from 4-3 to 3-4 for which we completely lacked personnel, moved what little talent we had out of position, shoved Schobel into retirement, and then wasted 3 drafts trying to get a nose tackle and big LBs. Those defensive squads could not stop the run, generated minimal pass rush, and consistently ranked toward the bottom of the league from 2009 to 2012. Do you remember Chris Kelsay playing OLB? 43 is the Mike? The great Moats, Batten, Troupe, and Carrington drafts? The great George Edwards coming up with brilliant game plans? https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2010/opp.htm https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2011/opp.htm https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2012/opp.htm See this is how a conversation works. You read and then you respond to what is written rather than go off on a tangent about quarterback play as if I said anything anything about Fitz's performance at all.

You are extra confused today. How do you choose which threads to pollute with your inane ramblings?

Eww gross. Watch our for the shifty orange people. Last time I was up in Greece Ridge Mall area I was harshly confronted by a gang of track suit wearing Jersey Shore look alikes for the offense of simply asking directions to the nearest gabagool. The kid with the blowout and wife beater informed me that I should not mess with him because his cousin Antony is a "friend of yous", which I understood to mean he is connected with some sort of criminal organization, and he will come whack me off upside the labonza. Understanding only about 5% of that exchange, I attempted to diffuse the situation by giving them all coupons for Spray Tan and complimenting their girlfriends mustaches and made my departure. A charming Snooki looking gooma tried to throw her tampon at my car as I drove away to a more civilized part of town. I returned home without gabagool and several coupons poorer.

UPDATE https://www.wsj.com/articles/sec-says-spot-bitcoin-etf-filings-are-inadequate-390336e8?mod=hp_lead_pos1 https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2023/06/30/bitcoin-tumbles-on-report-of-sec-saying-spot-btc-etf-filings-inadequate/ Not today. The SEC really couldn't give me the weekend before making me look like an idiot?

Terry's SPAC has nothing to do with his own net worth. A SPAC is a shell company that raises funds to pursue an acquisition. Investors fund the SPAC by buying shares on the open market. SPAC's have 2 years to make a deal or return money to shareholders. Its basically a bet on the management team. in 2020, SPACs were the hottest thing on the market. 3 years later, almost every SPAC that closed a deal is worth significantly less than par ($10). The market has soured on SPACs. Looks like Terry's SPAC allowed holders to redeem shares for cash as part of the shareholders agreeing to extend the life of the SPAC beyond the initial contractual life of the vehicle. This just means there is less cash available to Terry to close a deal. He can still solicit outside investors, raise debt, or fund it himself if there isn't enough cash left to close Abacus. I haven't seen an indication of deal size or how much $$ the SPAC raised.

Fitz had miserable defenses during his time in Buffalo.

Blackrock is gaining traction in their bid for the first approved crypto ETF. The SEC has rejected all applications for crypto ETFs citing a number of arguments the most compelling of which, in my opinion, is crypto exchanges are not regulated. But Blackrock has a long history of successfully navigating the SEC and obtaining approval. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/29/fidelity-joins-the-rush-for-a-bitcoin-etf-following-blackrock-ark-invest-and-others.html https://www.ft.com/content/1886c3a3-3fb8-411a-b95a-e4667de560d1 This is potentially big for the crypto world and opens the door for many investors who want exposure to crypto without dealing with the complication of owning coin and private keys. Its also very good news for me since I hold a little bit of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust which filed for ETF conversion years ago and has been suing the SEC. GBTC trades at a discount to net asset value (NAV) of about 30% as of yesterday. It was closer to 50% when I last bought. Which means that actual bitcoin held by Grayscale is worth 30% more than a share of GBTC. Conversion to an ETF would immediately result in a rise to market value. See the link below for discussion of closed end funds and why they can trade at either a premium or discount relative to the value of the actual assets held. https://grayscale.com/qa-what-converting-gbtc-to-an-etf-would-mean/ This is an arbitrage play on successful ETF conversion. Based on all the activity I think theres a decent chance the SEC approves crypto ETFs. Graycsale Ethereum trades at a 50% discount. I'm also looking at Grayscale Litecoin.

One man's journeyman is another man's franchise #5 WR. The other man is John from Hemet.

I hear you on that. Its just frustrating to watch guys like Savoie put up ridiculous numbers in the WHL and flounder for 2 more years. Benson and Savoie have nothing left to prove in junior hockey. It would be nice if they could play in a league where they would be challenged and their game would grow while they both develop NHL frames.

He has an outside chance but like his linemate and Sabres first round draft selection last year Savoie, Benson is likely to spend a year or two more in the CHL. CHL rules are awful and forbid a player from playing in the professional minor leagues (AHL) before age 20. Benson is 18 and Savoie is 19. So its NHL or CHL and I think Adams would prefer both guys are seeing minutes rather than healthy scratches at the NHL level.

Good thread.

Football draft is easy. Every single eligible player comes from NCAA ball. Basketball is nearly the same. Hockey drafts from so many different leagues. WHL, OHL, QMJL, BCHL, NCAA, USHL, KHL, and then every European country's pro leagues. It has got to be nearly impossible to compare players results across each of the leagues given the disparities in talent and the ages in play. Some of these kids are playing against grown men. Meanwhile in the NFL we read about how hard it is to compare prospects across power conferences!

These ribs are pretty spectacular. I made them once and they were a big hit.

You'd better check their vision for deterioration and the palms of their hands for fur. Idle hands....

I used to hit the Hickey Freeman factory outlet on charming Avenue D back in the day. Its crazy that such high end suits are made in humble Rochester.

You must have a superior IQ to ask a bunch of guys who wear camo cargo shorts and crocs for fashion advice. Best case scenario you come out looking like Charlie Sheen in 2 and a Half Men.

Is it the Turkish guy on East Ave across the street from the remodeled Wegmans? That guy was the best. My ex-gf once complained about the alterations he made to her dress and he screamed at her "I tailor! You nothing!"

Most of their locations have closed over the years. I believe family infighting has been jeopardizing the business for a long time.

Per the website they are now hiring all positions in Rochester. That's usually a pretty good sign that opening is around the corner. I filled out an application for you. Good luck! https://www.barbill.com/ But seriously I am very interested to hear how the Webster location stacks up to the original. Looking forward to popping in when I'm home for Xmas.

Because its Bar Bill not Bar Bills. Its named after a guy named Bill who opened the place with his wife Barb and has nothing to do with the Buffalo Bills. https://www.barbill.com/about-us
