    I just popped over to Finheaven, and I learned some interesting things. 

    1. Last week was the BIlls Superbowl because we wanted revenge for them almost beating us in the playoffs
    2. We are about to go on a losing streak starting with a loss in London while the Fins won't lose another game.

    I'm so relieved that I have my Sundays free. On a serious note; how in the heck are they more confident after getting whupped than we are after a huge win? Also, get ready for the media to jump fully aboard the Fins bandwagon again because they play the Giants and Panthers at home in the oven over the next two weeks. 

    Hahaha revenge for almost beating us.

    I don’t mean to rain on the parade, but as somebody from Buffalo who was  born here, left and come back a few times, I find Buffalo less friendly than other places. 

     

    I think if you’re a lifer it’s great.

     

    And even if you transplant yourself here it’s good. But I my experience even for transplants there’s an undertone. You’re never just “John”. You’re introduced to Buffalo bred friend groups as “This is my friend John from Tampa”. And in that group you’re referred to as “Mango’s friend, John, from Tampa”. There is a separation there. 
     

    It’s an odd sort of gate keeping. Sort of harkens back to coming home for the holidays and on a random Wednesday I can find the same group of guys in the same corner of Coles, doing the same thing we were doing in HS, and their first words to me are “Did you see Canisius beat St. Joes twice in football this year?”…No…No I didn’t. 

     

    I also find that transplants tend to conglomerate together more in Buffalo than other places. 
     

    In other places I’ve lived in MA, NJ, OK,  I am just Mango and my friend group has been pretty diverse. 
     

    Just a few things I’ve picked up on in my comings and goings as well as some stuff I’ve noticed and talked about dating transplants in the city. 
     

    Buffalo is a great town, I just wish it would be more confident in who they are today and where they are going, rather than rallying around the past. 

    Diametric opposite of my experience as a transplant.

     

    I find myself frequently reminding my very close friends who grew up here that I didn't.

     

    I can't tell you how many times I've had to say "no, I don't remember the car wash shaped like a whale...". 😂

    The way I read it, is no one can defend themselves with a gun, which is unconstitutional. She also stated that you can't concealed carry, which all states allow with a permit at a minimum. 

    Thanks, I wasn't aware all 50 states had concealed. I assumed incorrectly that some place like CA didn't allow it.

     

    That alone could end up being the legal coffin nail.

    It’s very possible the Bills could be sole #1 in the AFCE after the Jets clobbering on Monday. Patriots play the Eagles and Miami plays the Chargers. All 3 of them have a very real chance of starting 0-1. Please make it happen, football gods 🙏

    Grab it this week and never look back.

    Brutal, but that's the league.  

     

    Important win for Detroit.  KC knows what they need to do going forward.  

    Same thing happened to Josh with McKenzie last year but I don't recall everyone tripping over themselves to defend 17.

  6. The starters seemed good for the most part. I thought Dodson looked OK, at least enough to the point that I'm not looking at MLB as a glaring weakness. We're at least average there.

     

    Was nice to see the dumb penalties drastically reduced.

     

    Cook having more of a role and the addition of Harris should amount to a nice upgrade in the run dept. too.

     

    Hopefully today will have Western New York in less of a panic than last week.

    Nothing mundane about 114 people or 1000 people dying in a wildfire with serous delays in triggering the emergency sirens, and issues with the water supply.

    Re-read.

     

    I'm not trivializing the impact nor am I excusing the response either during or after this disaster.

     

    What I'm saying is there is nothing shocking that it will take some time for an official count, but literally no one is hiding that they expect it to be much higher than what is known at the moment.

    What's the deal with this conspiratorial angle everyone is taking relative to the death toll? Even the major network evening news shows readily state they expect the death toll to exceed the current numbers by an order of magnitude:

     

    Maui wildfire death toll, already highest in modern U.S. history, could surge https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna100632

     

    114 is the confirmed number with everyone seemingly understanding (well people with functional brains that is) that as they confirm, that number will rise.

     

    That really doesn't have much to do with Biden's lousy response/optics on this unless the assertion is that he's not leveraging the executive powers to send more resources to identify remains (that doesn't seem to be the case with these tweets).

     

    Really, everyone seems quick to turn the most mundane things into something evil or based on some ulterior motive.
