  1. A Sunday game at 1:00PM feels like the exact opposite of a Thursday night game at 8:30pm. One of those slots is meant for football. The other??? 🤷‍♂️
  2. I missed a game live earlier this season because my grandson (also a Bills fan) got baptized that day and there was a lunch that followed 2 hours from home. He was watching the game on his phone at the lunch, and I never went back to watch it. I would have had a much harder time with that years ago, but I’m much better now.
  3. I’m honestly surprised that we don’t see this more. Anything along the sideline you just try to carry him OB. Changing that rule took away one of those gray area calls, and defenses should take more advantage of it, imo. Well played, Cole!
  4. I’m happy for a 1pm game.
  5. That’s what he calls gas, I think.
  6. If you don’t get a lot of replies after a week, would you be open to considering irreptutable vendors?
  7. Which goes to show once again that every generation has it’s own “stuff.” I loved that show (or at least Robin Williams) in it’s time. I’m not sure how Ted Baxter would go over today, but he amused the hell out of me back then in that great cast. It’s all in the perspective. EDIT: But some things are classic, and they never get old. .
  8. You have limits for the active roster, practice squad, etc. There is no limit of guys who are let go but still have an active lease on a property in WNY convenient for Bills players. It makes those frequent returns so much easier.
  9. When I was in college there were reruns constantly and on the day of the week that a new episode came out we could watch MASH five times in a single day. I suppose I should have graduated much sooner, but that was the thing then, and with so many great characters. Cheers is another one with multiple great characters. And News Radio. There are a ton of options just in my personal wheelhouse, so I was a no vote above.
  10. Didn’t they win a boatload of one score games last year? Like our turnover stats from a year ago, things tend to come back to the norm given time.
  11. Am I the only one who has never seen more than a few seconds of the Al Buddy character? “Ever” is a big claim, so I’ll say no.
  12. Should the Chiefs cut Veach? Is that the easy answer too?
  13. Thank you! It’s easy for “our fans” to pick apart our drafts, but it’s clear that we are not the only team who doesn’t hit on every pick. EVERY team has hits and misses. I wish people would stop acting like we are the only team who doesn’t draft a Pro Bowl player in every round.
  14. My mind immediately went to Jadaveon Clowney not being blocked at all in college and the RB didn’t have his chin strap on properly. Instant legend status, for some reason. These have to be 2 of the top 5 for me personally. You could throw in Lynn Swan making an acrobatic catch in a Super Bowl vaulting him into the HOF, as well.
  15. There’s the spirit! 😂
  16. I don’t care WHERE we get a competent WR, I just care THAT we get a competent WR.
  17. Thank you! We are fairly savvy people (OK, my wife is) with banking backgrounds, and this was a nightmare for us. It was concerning enough that she went to a local college and took a Medicare class. Fortunately, we were blessed with a financial planner as a perk from her employer. This guy is super smart (he works for a division of Goldman) and saved us a bunch in potential tax penalties. We asked about Medicare and he said he couldn’t help us, it is it’s own animal. He hooked us up with an advisor who guided us thru everything. He presented options, but he also kept us from doing anything that would bite us later. The best deal is often the deal that is going to go away first, for example. So my wife mentions that her “professor” at the college class was pushing Advantage plans as the best option. Our guide again reminded us he is an hourly worker for a company that helps people like us, with zero commission. He asked my wife if the “professor” mentioned that they get paid at a higher rate when they sell Advantage. He didn’t say it was better or worse (it depends I guess), but that might explain why he’s pushing it. For everyone. That would be nice to know. Back to your point….this stuff is WAY too complicated for most people in this country. You’re at their mercy unless you’ve done your homework, and even if you have you are still at their mercy. The BOMBARDMENT of solicitations alone can make you dizzy! It’s a mess. Rant over. .
  18. That wouldn’t surprise me. I think I’ve got it and I’ve just been watching! .
  19. Looking good for his age. I’m sure the outfit will be back in style soon. I won’t be the last sucker here…..
  20. We hosted the neighborhood Christmas party that evening with about 70 guests. I watched the game in the basement, while a few people came down to see me like an animal in the zoo. I was not good company, and we are not hosting the party this year.
  21. My wife’s cousin rented up the street from us when we were first married. They had a GIANT pileated woodpecker who had pecked a hole in the siding and was living in their attic. The owner had someone put a sheet of metal over the hole, and the bird pecked a new hole right next to it and moved back into the attic. We were over there for drinks one night and he asked if we wanted to go upstairs and see Woody. It was at this point in re-telling the story years later that our close friend turned to her college age daughter and said, without missing a beat, “just so you know, the answer to that question is always NO!” .
  22. Our old Veterinarian retired and started a photo shoot by boat deal on the waters around Hilton Head Island, SC. He’ll even provide the camera and do the touch up work before sending you your file. Cool experience. This is one of several pics I got of this majestic creature.
  23. What if the Chiefs offered a 6th or 7th round pick for him. Would that make you nervous about what might come to be down the road? Did anyone want to get rid of Bishop at any point in time? It’s not time to do a deal now, so I’ll wait and see what happens before making any premature decisions. .
  24. That’s what you do when that’s all you got…..
