  1. Interesting that the Bills were interested in Chris Johnson as well. Maybe a statement on the underlying philosophy on building a roster at least at the skill positions. I don't think I have seen them articulate it publicly but can't be just chance.
  2. Three heart surgeries by 66 is an example of good health?
  3. 20 degrees predicted in Rochester Tuesday
  4. The same Arnold who is rumored to have blown out his initial heart valve replacement by trying to work out while still in the hospital 48 hours after his initial procedure? 17 years ago. . .at the age of 50?
  5. Interestingly having lived inmdaryland for the last thirteen years before moving back to upstate ny I find that prices vary a lot at different wegmans. The one in Baltimore was targeting folks willing to pay a premium as is the one in Pittsford, but other wegmans even in Rochester seem to be cheaper or at least stock more of the stuff I want to buy at the price I am willing to pay. That being said count me in as a believer just stupendous customer service and quality. Produce at non wegmans stores in Baltimore and even meat could be chancy with things going bad way faster than they should intermittently or really not having much selection/good looking stuff. Even at the "cheapest" wegmans that's never a problem since we moved back to Rochester.
  6. On this point http://www.rockinst.org/pdf/nys_government/2011-12-Giving_and_Getting.pdf "New York City and the Downstate Suburbs “give” far more to Albany in taxes and other revenues than they “get” in state-funded expenditures. The Capital Region and the Rest of State, by contrast, get significantly more than they give. These conclusions hold under any of several alternative methodologies this study employs for regional allocation of the personal income tax and selected expenditures." "By this analysis, New York City’s share of state revenue payments is around 45 percent, and it receives 40 percent of ex- penditures. The Downstate Suburbs provide roughly 27 percent of taxes and other revenues, nearly 10 percentage points more than they receive in aid for education, health care, state payroll, and other expenditures. By contrast, the Rest of State region provides 24 percent of the revenues and receives 35 percent of expenditures." They also comment that out of staters who pay taxes in NYS generate 5 billion of revenue. I would suspect the majority of that is in NYC. And those in the NYC surrounding "downstate" suburbs probably generate most of their revenue in NYC.
  7. Baseball is still played professionally in the US???
  8. I had done some reading a few years ago about wild pigs the last time this kind of picture showed up in my browser. Google monster pig or hogzilla and there are reports some pigs in the US have been in the 800-1000 lb range. I have heard not good eating from others as well when they get this big. But damn man I still would like to fry up some ham steaks from something like that.
  9. Agree entirely. How much of the cap do we want on the DL? But there is an argument to keep throwing dollars at stopping the run until we finally can do it.
  10. Jerry Hughes was a former first round bust this regime brought in last year whom many on this board described as a polished turd. Turned out pretty well for us. Change of system and supporting cast sometimes does a guy good
  11. I wasn't being facetious. Fish heads are indeed good eats. Grilled or deep fried whole head is great also good in soups and curries. Not much eating in the eyeballs
  12. The sharper story is terrible the Megget story linked to earlier in this thread made me almost want to cry. As the father of a young boy and a young girl it had me scared for the ways people get off track terribly
  13. What an ass. And I am not white not that it matters but that is ridiculous to say.
  14. Excited for this we will have to see if my wife is willing to go. We saw pacific rim finally on on demand and she really liked it. Let's see if I can get her to the theater on this one.
  15. Nice commentary here http://m.hitfix.com/news/guardians-of-the-galaxy-is-the-star-wars-sequel-we-deserve-and-so-much-more/2
