  1. When did they decide that? I must have missed the announcement.
  2. 😂 Seriously? I thought you were just having a bit of fun, but now I'm not so sure. If you are, it might be time to let him off the hook as he doesn't get the joke. But if you are actually being serious, why the attitude? Sheesh give the guy a break.
  3. I would have shaken my head years ago. Now I see Buffalonians talking about the best wings as being honey mustard, sesame, raspberry glazed (OK, maybe not that, but close). Way back when, the word got out about the wings in Buffalo, the rest of the country imitated them. Poorly for the most part. Now places in Buffalo (apparently) are imitating the flavors created in places that couldn't make traditional wings of Buffalo. IMO the only choices for wings (BUFFALO wings) are mild, medium, hot, xtra hot, etc. The other flavors might be good but they aren't traditional Buffalo-style wings. So when someone coming to Buffalo aks "Who has the best wings?" I assume they are talking about BUFFALO style wings. But the answers are always mixed with sauces that have nothing to do, whatsoever, with the traditional recipe. So now I understand when someone asks for Buffalo wings in Buffalo. When you go out anywhere in the country, you see Buffalo chicken salad. Buffalo chicken on a pizza, etc. Is that chicken EVER in a honey mustard sauce? I don't think so.
  4. Rudeness to restaurant staff should never happen. And people should be particularly understanding during these times, IMO. But ordering your meal the way you would like it (within reason, of course) should never be a bother to the staff. I've always been drawn to establishments where the bulk of the staff has been there for years. Low turnover typically means they pay and treat the employees well. They come to know you and you them. It just feels better than a place with high turnover. You have to continually train the staff to your tastes/preferences. And even then, they don't seem to care much, knowing they won't be there for long anyway.
  5. Agreed. But you know that doesn't suffice far too often. Just like pizza. I make sure to order my food the way I want it. I find I have far fewer complaints that way. I know people who complain about underdone wings/pizza on a regular basis. My first question to them is "Did you order it crispy/well done?" The answer is almost always, "No." It only take a second to do. I highly recommend it!
  6. And, let's face it, some are simply clueless football fans.
  7. Glad you had fun. And your dad does look great for his age. I can't understand why anyone would get upset at you asking the board for a Bills bar rec. This seems to be the perfect place for that question. And I know Off the Wall doesn't get enough action, especially if you are in a bit of a hurry for the info. The Bills Bar website always seems to be woefully out of date. Still worth checking out IMO.
  8. It's amazing the giant leaps people make with minimal information. Hines signs: They are done with Cook. Marlow signs: Poyer is done for the year. Seriously? Anyone ever year of depth? I'm not saying Poyer won't be out. I'm not even sure the Bills know for sure at the moment. Just don't know why you would immediately jump to the most extreme conclusion. Add Moss to what they gave up. But it looks like a classic Beane move that should help the team moving forward, IMO. Nothing splashy, just smart. There may be a FA move coming, as well.
  9. The last time I was able to have Duffs (Sheridan Dr), the wings were served in a bowl of sauce. And they were as crispy as any order of wings I have even had. Properly cooked wings shouldn't lose their crispness due to an excess of sauce, IMO. For the record, I always order my wings Extra Crispy. Maybe that's the difference.
  10. There's no 100% right answer. Depends on the team you are playing, to some extent. Depends on how your team is playing. Any big injuries during the game? Defense tiring? What's the score/score differential/time of game/etc. So my answer is: IT DEPENDS. Do you trust the HC to make these decisions? In this case, yes I do.
  11. Outside? I refuse to wait more than 10-15 minutes unless it is waiting in/at the bar. I can be coerced into a slightly long wait outside IF they'll bring me a complimentary drink/beer/wine
  12. At best, the Sabres are in the early stages of the kind of rebuild the Bills experienced. I get that early vibe, The level of competence that hasn't been there for a while . I'd like to think they make the playoffs this year. That shouldn't be too crazy of a goal
  13. Here's a little something from Live Stock:
  14. Rockplaast is AWESOME! And it just reminded me, if another live album yet to be mentioned. Roy Buchanan, Live Stock! Here's a Rockpalast sample, not one from Live Stock:
  15. Pretty good venue. Sound can be iffy depending on where you are sitting. I try to sit close to the sound board. But it's hard to find a better audience. Very appreciative! I've also seen him twice. Both times at the St Augustine Amphitheater. In his 80s and awesome.
  16. Not to mention there's a possibility it isn't for anyone he even knows. Perhaps a disabled fan who really wanted an Evans autograph, for example. It looks like two officials running to Evans, one handing something to the other, before Evans signs. Like could be on a mission for someone. One can simply assume the worst, or think of possibilities that put the action in a better light. The point is, we really have no idea at the moment. It looks like two officials running to Evans, one handing something to the other, before Evans signs. Maybe just wait for the explanation before damming him for abusing his contact with the player for any personal gain. If that turns out to be the case, then by all means bash the guy. Now, if you want to say it was handled poorly, potential bad optics, that's fair, IMO. I'm guessing there was a better way/time/place to go about that. But understand, bad optics aren't nearly as bad as bad actions. It would behoove the league to issue a statement ASAP to address this, IMO.
  17. He just forgot to sign his scorecard. Pretty obvious. 😜 Honestly I don't think it's a big deal. But you'd think he would wait until later to get it in a more private place. It is a bad look, IMO.
  18. I would have LOVED for the Bills to draft Breece. But he was LONG gone by the time I would have made that move.
  19. Excellent tip. Thanks. I plan to hit TB Downs at some point, so may turn it into a weekend and catch the Bills somewhere out there.
  20. Ever been to the Buffalo City Bar and Grill in St Pete? I was there several years ago and had a good time. Do you know if it is still there/good?
