  1. This will be unpopular with many. It’s not nearly angry enough. 😋
  2. I have a seriously miserable track record when it comes to me attending games in person. In recent years we have won far more games than we have lost, except when I show up. On a related note, I can be bought. 😋
  3. I am far more interested in my college basketball team than I have been in several years. We need options to avoid madness, I suppose. Find healthy outlets for your fandom!

    NFL fines

    They took out a perfectly good field in London to play on the worst field Von Miller has ever played on. Injuries are certainly NOT the main concern. They’re more interested in the things that make them more money, which includes not being in trouble with the NFLPA and more lawsuits and settlements.
  5. It depends. I really enjoy the football stuff, but when things go south and people get emotional and occasionally irrational, I can only go to OTW. There can be too much outrage on the football side, and most of it is just redundant threads with worthless venting, IMO. You have no control over what the team does on or off the field, so don’t let it make you crazy. I know, easier said than done, and I’ve been working on this for decades. In general there are a few people I look for because I can learn from them. Unfortunately, those opportunities can get drowned out by the rattling of pitchforks. .
  6. They took a big swing, and it didn’t work out due to injury. He had 8.5 sacks before getting hurt. If he stays healthy and we win a Super Bowl it looks a lot different. But, he did get hurt, so we will never know.
  7. This is a classic tale of how hoarding begins. You’re going to need a bigger house. 😋 I kid, and this brings back memories of some kind of stein we had in the house when I was a kid. I don’t remember where it came from or where it went, but I remember being oddly fascinated by it.
  8. We met a lady who had a tattoo on the back of her neck that artistically said “I put the FUN in Dysfuntional.” I wish I had taken a pic of it, as others did. She was quite proud of it, and I’m sure it was true. 😂
  9. All fans, including OUR fans, can have lunatic views on things. That comes with death and taxes.
  10. I just hope the GOOD Bills show up. I’ll check it out from my recliner.
  11. …and I think the feelings/opinions of the fans (especially the extremists) will play no role whatsoever. As it should be. This is not a time to be making rash, emotional decisions. Now is the time to be looking at the Big Picture. That is what I expect, and why I think McD is back.
  12. I think we should wait for a review from @Royale with Cheese before deciding how we feel about this. I believe he is our resident expert in this field.
  13. I like McD a lot more than a certain faction of our “fan base”. At least he is a grown up.
  14. I consider some of those people current friends if they take the time to keep renewing the restraining order. 😋 We have some old friends, I mean from decades back, who never miss a birthday or Christmas card. They are busy people too, but they give it a higher level of importance than most of us. The effort is appreciated. One lady in particular we met about 30 years ago, and moved away from them 13 years ago. Just last month the wife went to D.C. for her son’s wedding. I think the right answer is…….it depends.
  15. This should include the fans, if it is to be a proper and thorough cleaning.
  16. Preferably twice, if that’s not being too greedy. 😋
  17. “What were the odds of THAT?”
  18. What I took from that is he doesn’t say that “pressure” or challenge. He calls it an opportunity. Love that!
  19. I would not recommend being the first person to pee in their sinks. That could end badly. I just texted a buddy who sent me a pic pre-game to see how the experience went. EDIT: He said usual idiots, and he is just angry at EVERYTHING!!! .
  20. Be careful! It might be a trap!!!
  21. Well…….that might do it……
  22. I think it all started when I started looking. Before I looked I didn’t see any of this.
  23. I am guessing the answer is yes. Please forgive me if this has been mentioned.
  24. I go back to the Rockpile. To me 2024 is just one more blip. I’m not going to let them make me crazy. A little sad and upset for a bit, but life goes on.
  25. When our sons turned 16 I took each of them to Buffalo to see a Bills game live. It was a nice rite of passage to cement lifelong Bills fans. It worked. 😋 The Saturday before the oldest son’s first live Bills experience we sat at The Anchor Bar (honestly, my first time ever in there) and saw USC vs Notre Dame with the Bush Push. It was like seeing the Doug Flutie Hail Mary at BC on one of the first few dates with my now wife…..you never forget that. That’s the good stuff in life. 👍
