Lambeau the stadium is nothing special, but I thought the area was pretty cool. You’re driving around in this residential neighborhood and all of a sudden there is a stadium surrounded by what could be Cheektowaga. It was a like a space ship had just landed there, looking out of place. It’s a little like what I remember about going to the Rockpile. Instead of leveling everything and creating huge parking lots like in OP, everybody parks and tailgates in people’s yards. Houses have signs in their yards saying “PARK & PEE $20”. The price goes up as you get closer to the stadium. They either bring in porta-potties or let you into the house to use the bathroom. I’ve never seen anything quite like it before, so I enjoyed a different experience. But again, nothing special about the stadium itself. BTW - I’d love to see Wrigley and Fenway once, and I don’t even like baseball. .

It’s not a game, or even a Super Bowl, and it will never happen, but sitting in the war room for a Bills draft is the coolest football thing I can think of.

Thanks, I was very skeptical looking at some of those numbers, but failed to put the 3 day total into my mental equation. I think back about the coolest one I recall, in Nashville which we are familiar with, and your numbers make more sense. EDIT: I’ve been gone too long to have any clue, but would it be just as easy to do it somewhere around downtown? .

They might be playing the long game with lighter fluid futures. 🤷‍♂️

If it rains it could be greater than Woodstock! I have no idea where WNY could put that many people, but I’d love to see them try. We’ll never have a Super Bowl, that’s fine. Having a draft is a reasonable consolation prize imo.

Mike Brown should probably have a physician present when it’s time to stroke those checks, if he can get up the gumption.

If this leads to your divorce, well…….I could live with that! 😋 EDIT: I kid, of course. Mostly…… .

Never. I worked with a guy who called everyone “guy”. Like “hey, guy, how you doing?” He just couldn’t remember other people’s names.

Hopefully this results in an absolutely lousy team that has an early draft pick in the second round for us to use. 😋

Are you referring to the wrist injury sustained week 5 that he tried to play thru for several weeks before going on IR when it finally required surgery? Is that your minor injury or is that a preventable nagging injury? 🙄

Am I allowed to laugh at that? 🤷‍♂️

So, I suppose you mean something more than a kerfuffle.

This is something I actually know something about. I used to say the volume estimators were complete garbage, but now I just say they are complete garbage. If you have never been inside a house, you have no idea what it is worth. It could be a pristine palace, or a tear down worth just the dirt, and they are guessing toward the middle. Don’t buy old pics. There are reasons the Appraisal Institute changed their definition from an “opinion of value” (as it was known) to an “estimate of value”. Computers can’t have opinions, and people wanted to make money. EDIT: But that football guy is a speedy but soft twig. 😋 There, I did my best to get back on track. .

He would get hurt, as would several guys behind him on the depth chart. It’s just how we roll…….

I sure hope he’s not carpooling with Klein!

Sounds like a Scrabble miracle!

The world is strange enough that it just might be the most expensive SB ever in such a great city and being the first of it’s kind. EDIT: And NO, it will NOT happen. .

The bold brings up an interesting point. We take for granted all the constant coverage the NFL gets these days, but there was a time when it was very difficult to follow your team if you were out of that market. So many people have left WNY as Bills fans, then struggled to find ways to keep up with them. I used to go to Chili’s for lunch on Tuesdays because they would have a USA Today on the bar and the sports section would have a sentence or two about every team. We had no internet. I would go to awful, dark and smoky bars to watch on a projection screen. If any light came in you couldn’t see anything. It wasn’t this easy to be a BIlls fan back then……and that might have been a healthier lifestyle for me! 😂

No comment here other than London is actually 5 hours ahead of EST. I’m watching the French Open now, and Paris is 6 hours ahead.

I never had a chance. I was born the month the Bills were born. We had season tix to the Rockpile. I’d walk home from school with my buddy in 3rd grade to Jack Kemp’s house. My sister would babysit for Butch Byrd and we’d watch games on TV at his house. I’d trade player cards with his son. My mother played bridge with Lou Saban’s wife. We lived around the corner from OJ. But just being born in WNY is enough to have done the trick. .

You don’t count as a full unit if you live west of the Mississippi. Sorry! 😋 You’ll find……

Don’t forget “space and stuff”.

I meant the one that could actually tell time.

But first, I think Big Ben would look nice somewhere in the Midwest.
