HIT BY SPIKES

I grilled 9 lbs of chicken wings yesterday and then tossed them in 3 different hot sauces so I have plenty left over for tonight. I froze homemade dim sum dumplings a while back and may get the double bamboo steamer loaded up with a bunch of that as well. Definitely Craft IPAs as the beverage. I really do need to time an afternoon nap since I expect the Bills not to draft until after 11:00 PM and my ManCity team has a 3:00 PM game today. Debating nap strategy.

There is just something about that Whoopie eh?

If no real #1 WR falls to us in the 1st round and the WRs available when we draft in the 2nd round are projects to ever be #1 WRs, then if we get out of the first rounds with a Centre and a 1DT, I would be a happy man.

A truly elite 1DT next to Ed Oliver would enable Oliver to take the next leap forward in his development and become the internal disruptor he was in college. If a real #1 WR does not fall to us in the 1st round, I like the idea.

As much as I detested Von's contract, I do like the Bills have so far not kicked that money down the road by pushing his 2024 salary cap into subsequent years. Might as well bite it this year and keep the future intact.

If Ed Oliver fits the definition then I am going with Ed Oliver. If the Bills can acquire a very good to elite 1DT to play next to Oliver, then I think we see the inside disrupter that Oliver was in college.

Bye Bye Rachel Bush!!! Thanks for the Mammaries...

1. Shirt = NO Brainer. Will e-mail funds to acquire even if I cannot attend the event. 2. Dinner Cruise = If in Canada, sure. Is there anything in Canadian Niagara Falls of Niagara on the Lake? 3. Golf = Just don't have the balance in the right leg since the MVA to golf without the oppressive frustration of remembering how much I enjoyed it when I was decent. 4. Sandwich Contest = I don't joke about Sandwich Making. To me, it is a serious topic. Sandwich is my life. Bring it on Bee..otch. 5. Etc. = Lundy's Lane for live entertainment?

I still think THE best part of last night’s game was Alicia Keys’ ass. I found some analysis on it.

This game is poop

I am in Argentina and there is no interest in the game here. I took a 16 year old nephew through a 21 minute highlight package of last year’s Superbowl game on YouTube to explain the rules of the game to him. He is now even less interested. Monday and Tuesday are holidays here for Carnival so a party would set up nicely here. I suspect it will be a family asado here and retire to my hotel room to watch the second half of the game in Spanish if the game is close. We are two hours ahead so a 8:25 PM start here gets me in front of a TV around 10:30 PM.

Ohhhhh….

Anything else?

The wife is a Seahawks fan and we plan on flying out of Toronto to Vancouver and then taking the train to Portland for a couple of days before taking the train back up to Seattle for a couple of days and the game before flying back to Toronto from Vancouver. Any speculation as to when that game may be?

Praying now.

Yup

Just teasing you buddy. It is still -13C here so I decided to use the Natural Gas Grill Warming Rack instead of the electric smoker for just that reason. Low and slow.

Ribs being brought to room temperature along with a coil of local Hot Italian Sausage and 3 Pork Livers for the dogs. This morning I noticed 2 & 1/2" removed from each my 3 racks. Wife stole them to make her slop. Women -- Can't live with them and can't live with them.

Good idea. I will make some jalapeño corn to go along with the smoked ribs.

I may be hallucinating from the combination of 7.1% Craft IPAs, 30+ year old Grappa in my espresso and the Medical MaryJane cream the wife rubbed on my lower back however I swear to GOD that when I opened the fridge the 3 racks of Pork Side Ribs I rubbed yesterday in preparation for smoking tomorrow afternoon were singing the Bill’s Shout Song.

Now that is THE MAN!!!! I thought I was a man. I have been righteously humbled by that MAN.

I find bragging about one's warm weather to be so unrefined and simply unbecoming. Just brought the 3 dogs in from the kennel after just a 30 minute outing. Feels like -18C or -1F out there. NOT a side eye or bark from the Basset Hound or Furry Rescue except for the Great Dane who gave me a WTF? look.

I tend to stay away from GDTs until a Bills victory is well in hand. Then I will join the conversation in celebration. I am an optimistic Buffalo Bills Fan viewer and the negative vibe often found in GDTs turns me off. I believe in positive energy so I shy away from those who watch the game with inexplicable anger.

White Chili? That’s new to me. Ground Chicken?

Since this thread was THE only reason the Bills won the game in KC, rather than starting a new thread I thought I would just recycle this one. No Smoked Burnt Ends, Beef Brisket or Curried Cuttlefish this time for the electric smoker. I have three 3-lb Pork Side Ribs already rubbed, wrapped and in the back of the fridge for Sunday. I appreciate the smoker purists here will scoff at my use of an electric smoker however in weather that will be no better than it will be in Orchard Park on Sunday, I appreciate being able to go through my kitchen back door to my raised and covered cement back porch to check on my electric smoker when the Bluetooth thermometer so tells me rather than hulling my ass out into the cold windy snowy wood smoker. Call me a wimp.
