    We are going to see Inter Miami and Messi play tonight.  Tickets were fairly cheap.  
     

    We are getting into town around 2p.  Suggestions of things to do?  I’m with my parents and 12 year old daughter.  

     

    I’m not a huge Miami expert…we’re always in the South Beach area and it’s great just walking up and down Ocean Drive.  You see a lot of “stuff.”

    I hear ya, @Augie…it has taken some of the luster off for me as well. But some (I’d say most) of these kids are still great kids. The Heels’ Caleb Wilson, for example, who will certainly only be there one year, is a really thoughtful kid who respects UNC’s history and really wants to be there. He’ll be fun to watch.

    Okay but just so I can sleep tonight, who's the other guy? 😜

     

     

    LOL, that would be me.  The “trap game” talk always cracks me up.  It’s relevant in high school and college sports…not so much the pros.  It’s just one of my pet peeves in broadcasting and the way people talk about games.

     

    Fans get caught up in overlooking opponents or betting with their hearts.  Professional players don’t.  NFL players and coaches understand that the margin between winning, losing, or getting your asses blown out is razor thin.  If they don’t give it their all they are toast.

    It’ll seem like a Home game. Not just because the Dolphins suck but the Bills fans who live there and thousands who make this a yearly pilgrimage.

     

    Yep.  This one is my 5th in a row and they’re always a ton of fun.  This year in particular, I believe it will truly be a takeover.

     

    Ate at one of the Havana 1957 locations on Ocean last night.  A bit commercial but great food, mojitos, and live entertainment.

     

    Taking a bike tour today with food and drink stops along the way.  Dinner tonight at Zaytinya.

     

    South Beach is fun.

    No, that is your definition of a trap. Mine is when the bookmakers try to influence bettors to go in a certain direction. You really should stop coming off as all knowing, whereas you have made a fool of yourself on this board more often than not. 

     

    Cheers, Bill!  Have a great evening!

    This is one of the biggest trap games I have ever seen for the following reasons:

     

    1) Tua is done. Finished. He should not even be playing.

    2) The Bills need this game. They are not even in first place in the AFC East.

    3) Miami's coach will be fired sooner than later. They can't wait to dump him.

    4) The Dolphin's season is over. They have nothing to gain by winning, and might even lose out on a QB by doing so.

     

    So yes, it is a trap imo. It looks too easy and if every game that looks this easy was a winner, none of us would ever have  to work. Now, do I think they the Bills will cover the 9 1/2? I do. I think that the line should be somewhere around 17. Would I be shocked if they win by 3? Not really. I will probably make a small bet on the Bills but that is it.

     

    Sorry for the rant. I suppose this post was just me thinking out loud. :) 


    Oh Bill. Trap implies one team is taking it lightly and your own post states the obvious…the Bills must win this game. No divisional game is a trap. Could the Bills lose? Sure, but it will not be the result of them overlooking the opponent.

    KC is an exception to the rule. It's like a college stadium where the opponent can't hear a thing. Buffalo has that blue collar affect that will be missing at this stadium. 


    You haven’t been paying attention to who is buying the tickets. The retention rate of ST holders is high. The new stadium will be significantly louder than the current one.

    How is the shuttle service?   We are staying at a hotel across the street from Chase Stadium for the Inter Miami game on Saturday.   I was going to try and park at the Casino and walk from there, but am open to suggestions 


    This will be the first time taking it but it seems straightforward. Google GEICO HRS shuttle. Uber to and from the lot to catch the shuttle sounds way better than where Uber drops off and picks up if you take it all the way to the stadium. I already booked my Ubers and they were both very reasonable. 
     

    I should add that tailgating is not important to us because we are in a suite so we get there at 11 and start the party inside.
