  1. You thinking of getting back in to shape???
  2. There is a an actual limit on void years, they are not forever. That is what I was responding to. They also need to be used judiciously.
  3. I’ve got a place by me (Padriacs for the locals) with a beef on weck in that range, and that’s fine with me. It’s NOT Schwabl’s, but it gets me my fix. It’s not too hard to make a pretty darn good version for yourself.
  4. No, they are not forever either, but they can help smart GM’s manage the situation better.
  5. Noise from an airport is fine, as long as they can only take off when the Browns are on defense. The Battery by the Braves stadium (sorry for mentioning it again) is perfectly situated at the intersection of I-75 and the Beltline around Atlanta. It lets a lot of people in and out easily. It’s a 3 mile trip for me, but people who live much farther out can get here easily. Unless the highway traffic comes to a halt, which has happened.
  6. Generally speaking, the bigger the area the bigger they can “think”. Green Bay is not small minded by not building a domed stadium surrounded by all kinds of stuff, they are practical. Can Cleveland pull it off? I don’t know. It’s great if it works out.
  7. Keeping it from getting too greasy is the challenge and the key to a great Reuben. Too much sauerkraut or Thousand Island dressing on the inside and you have a slippery mess on your hands, literally. Next question.
  8. He’s home at his desk, doing the math and watching sitcoms, I guess. .
  9. And yet, we have people right here among us who know pretty much everything! It’s amazing how blessed we are! This universe is a big place. What we don’t know is……..pretty much everything.
  10. I thought he’d be bigger.
  11. We’re always looking for DL depth!
  12. I’m curious, what would you call hellhound? I can’t think of anything.
  13. I really like what Morris can bring when he plays, but I’m curious to see Davidson. It seems we are leaning a little more toward being a bully these days. EDIT: And I don’t hate that. .
  14. Are their” innovative funding sources” just another way of saying “taxes”? Tell people it’s based upon the economic impact, because you can argue that until the end of time. Regardless, the key seems to be getting the proper public/private investment. I know nothing about that area, but my experiences with that type of development is that it is a year round destination, IF you can surround the stadium with the right stuff in a location easy for people to get too. No way on Earth can I see OP worthy of that investment, but downtown would have been cool. Oh well. As always, I’m just glad the Bills remain in WNY, and look forward to seeing our new home.
  15. Can we do recipes instead of nicknames?
  16. Did we see enough of Cole Bishop before the injury to have much of an impression? The way they draft and coach up DB’s I’m very hopeful there, eventually.
  17. An old college buddy sent me a video of a service dog in a weed dispensary, then he scanned the store. He thought the DOG was inappropriate. One kid at the end of the clip saw what was happening and gave him a sideways stink eye, like….you’re not going to show my parents that, are you? The clip ended on him. I told him the dog was probably less of a problem than you recording all the people waiting to buy some weed. He made an oops! The screen shot of the kid giving him the side eye look is hysterical, but I suppose me sharing it would be the VERY LAST THING he would want. 😂
  18. I’m hoping there is a lot more that I don’t know, here. That seems irrationally vindictive. It’s NOT personal, or it shouldn’t be anyway. I actually love the digital ID at the airport. No more retinal scanning, just walk up and stand in a circle about 6 feet away from the guy. You show him nothing, but in a second he says “thank you, Augie”, like we’re old friends. I’d rather take off my sunglasses than my shoes, which seems to be arbitrary by airport. Usually no need to remove shoes, but sometimes you have to. Take off your shoes on the plane and you should be subject to punishment!
  19. Is DaQuan Jones in the official Taylor Rapp Penalty Box for a Friendly Fire violation? .
  20. The Braves put their new stadium in a similar style of development called the Battery with hotels, theaters, restaurants and all kinds of commercial and retail space plus a couple thousand apartments. It’s fantastic. Can Cleveland pull it off? It would be great if they can get it right, but it’s a mighty big gamble. I hope he does better than the D. Watson contract gamble, for the sake of Cleveland, not the Brown’s owner.
  21. Happy BDay! We celebrate your birthday every year by going to the mountains to beat the summer heat. It’s just pure coincidence that my wife’s BDay is July 29.
  22. Minneapolis had one too, and it was as cold as you would expect, single digits. It really is a great city and we had a blast, but I’d rather be heading somewhere more desirable for my February vacation.
  23. I honestly wonder if the Bengals could even do that. That’s one reason I fear them a little less in the long term. .
  24. That’s fine, as long as you click on something that profits me. I think I’m figuring this crap out!
