Miyagi-Do Karate

haha— same. Would ride down to the village with my friends on our bikes or roller blades. Grab an Italian sub there if I had the money. Go scumming in the canal!

This got me thinking back to when I was growing up. I used to love going to Arrivederci’s in Fairport. Got their pizza occasionally, but mostly got their subs— and loved them. Just looked them up, and looks like they closed!!

haha. That looked like the Carrbbean! Also, if you are already fabricating locations, maybe fabricate the pictures of the rooms while you are at it.

Sign me up to buy insider!!!

that’s true. Now I am worried with this early Wade thread, we won’t see our first meaningful Duke thread until around August.

This is about a month earlier than I would have expected for the first major Christian Wade thread of the season. It usually comes out around late June/early July.

Thanks— this seems like critically helpful advice.

Thanks for all the advice, everyone! I ended up going with the Kamado Joe Jr. Not a huge cooking surface, but quality, price and portability were really good. And I saw enough videos of people being able to grill and smoke a lot of big meat on that grill to get comfortable with the idea of the smaller grill. I will let you all know how it goes when it gets here!

re the Bike tour, my wife and I did that there, and it was ridiculously dangerous. We were all riding in a long line, weaving in and out following our guard through all sorts of traffic. At least when we were around the French quarter it wasn’t a great experience. Not ideal spot to ride. When we got out to the river and to other neighborhoods, it got a little better.

that RB depth chart is the TBD dream team!!

agreed. I thought we had like a 15+ year track record of the team having a very positive relationship with Rosenhaus. Bills FO have never had issues dealing with him.

i will have to check out this book. not to get political, but I believe in-person sporting events is one of the great unifying things, and without it this past year, it hasn’t helped with all the divisions in society. It’s only at a bills game where you have people from all races, classes, jobs, socio economic classes wearing the same jerseys, sharing the same ups and downs, and high fiving and hugging each other.

Nice! Thanks for the update. Definitely a cool place; but totally agree with you re being an early bird town.

Check out the famous Houston athletes slide— pictures of Deandre Hopkins, JJ Watt, and James Harden. 🤣

it’s funny you say that— when I think of New Orleans, all I can think of is the smell of urine, vomit, and marijuana mixed together.

you have to see this multiple times. There are so many priceless tids bits in this. The Kermit puppet for the chiefs— haha! edit: the trip advisor ratings on some of these pages are so priceless.

These ticket prices to the opener are ridiculous. And I think they are only going to go up given all the Steelers’ fans too that will easily travel.

football is meant to be played at 1 PM on Sunday’s. It ruins my rhythm to have it played any other time. (4:25 starts are the absolute worst).

Correct. They specialize in latex.

I actually don’t think Eddie Vanderhoes is a real person. sounds very similar to Dr. Van Nostrand.

they really need to get rid of that Scott van pelt. That guy was on the C team on ESPN news and has launched himself to some ESPN anchor superstar. He comes across pretty arrogant; just annoys me.

back in the day, I worked at Wendy’s. Those were the glory years. Biggie Fries, Biggie drinks, JBC’s, medium frosties— all on their glorious $.99 menu. now you go there, and all that stuff costs like $3 a pop.

They got this Tevi in the off-season, who started for the Chargers and who they think can start for them, especially if Fisher takes a while to get back.

From what I had read of the Colts situation, they have Fisher slated to start. But they have some backups they are really high on who can slide into the starter role if Fisher can’t recover in time. So, I agree they are paying Fisher to be the starter, but I don’t think they are putting all their eggs in that basket too. I have my doubts about him though. I can’t think of a worse injury for an o-lineman— you are on your toes and exerting quite the strain on your Achilles and calf.
