    Don't read too much into a Wednesday injury report.  16 players on list and 2 are Vet rest, 2 of them in full practice, and 4 of them limited. That is not that big of a deal. You are looking at 8 guys and most of them would be playing if it was the Chiefs.  Bills are pretty healthy right now.  

     

    The rest of your post seems reasonable, but not sure how you land on "Bills are pretty healthy right now"...lol. Yes, by Friday, that report should be a bit cleaned up, but don't jump off the deep end with that odd statement.

    I love listening to Schopp. I really like the obscure references and odd takes. Feels very Larry David-esque. I enjoy Bulldog if Schopp is on with him. I find Bulldog minue Schopp boring.

     

    And thankfully I am not much into hockey as Marty's voice/accent/lisp drives me nuts.

    Our society is simply used to everything being easy and convenient and when something is a little bit inconvenient it's treated as some major thing when really it's just an inconvenience.

     

    And there it is! I just had to tease it out. Sigh. They should be trying harder and complaining less, right? This is quite tone deaf to poverty struggles. Somehow, we always land on bootstraps instead of understanding.

    I grew up on the Eastside also and worked over by the Broadway Market and Kensington/Bailey neighborhoods for over 10 years...I am well aware of the vehicle situation and how things work in the hood. 

     

     

    I don't think anyone is trying to start an argument with you, but you questioned the 'food desert' tag because another store is 1.8 miles away. I live exactly 1.8 miles from the Bills stadium. I could walk that. Not sure if I could carrying groceries. Now do it in 18 inches of snow. Now do all that at 60 years old.

     

    This message and your last don't align.

     

    EDIT - And you have plenty of supportive posts in this thread. Honestly, I am amazed at the overall positive response to the post. I generally expect a population of 'that's nice but' folks to chime in. Glad that hasn't been the case. #buffalove

    Plenty of people don't understand this sort of thing. For me, growing up on the eastside, it was normal for families not to have a vehicle. Simply couldn't afford it. Some people will never understand the difference of how they grew up and what was normal to them compared to others.

     

    Exactly, it forces families to make a choice; take a bus/cab get what you can (assuming you can afford a decent trip - to reduce the need to go back for a while) or rely upon convenience stores to fill the gaps at a 20-30% price hike. At least where I grew up off Grant St, you had Guercio's and a few other meat markets that weren't 'Wilson Farms'. I think that optimally, some of the money being raised should be used as seed money to start a co-op. Similar to the Lexington co-op, the community can be the owners and help provide a secondary source of food supply at reasonable prices.

    It’s interesting Beane didn’t have a first round grade on Jermaine Johnson, Booth, or Lloyd. I’m also surprised he’d admit that. Let’s hope his grading system proves correct this time, some of his early picks in years past have left a lot to be desired.

    Which picks?
