Tom Hanks and the mouse in The Green Mile didn’t see it as a great blessing, but he carried on. I guess that’s what we do, until we can’t.

Will they give you a 5 year deal for $50 Mil/year? With that kind of money, you could pay for the PSL’s on some fine seats in the new stadium! You’ll have a home when you retire!

Similar in Florida. I don’t think they let them insure cars and other things there as a result. We had State Farm when a storm dropped a tree on our roof in FL 20+ years ago. It ruined one slope of an expensive tile roof that could no longer be matched. They would only pay for the broken slope despite the whole roof needing replacement. They paid about $4k and despite fighting it we had to pay for the other $24k. Then we moved to Cincinnati Insurance. The wife called SF and asked why we shouldn’t change. She was told they had no answer for her.

Just 100 years ago the automobile was starting to becoming popular in this country. Now we are driving remote control science labs around on Mars. Just 120 years ago the Wright brothers first took flight. It wasn’t too long after that that men walked on the moon. School kids walk around with cell phones that hold much of the knowledge of mankind. I could not have imagined that when I was their age. What might we be capable of in another 100 years? In 1,000 years? I would not be so quick to rule out what might be possible.

I think they did it to punish all the people who said Edmunds was no good and was not a significant loss to the team. Boy! Did he show THEM!!! 😋

We may be small, but we’re slow!

I think the biggest question is, how much of it can they capture? It would be nice if something good came from the devastation. I’ll still take water over fire. When our kids were young they would do “would you rather face a bear or a shark?” Or any other horrific situation. I’m good on the couch, thanks. .

My bad if I missed it.

Wait, I know the question was out there so that’s fair, but it just seems right to post the positive with the negative. Jerry Rice was a slow guy from a small school does not tell the story.

I’m not your breakdown guy, but Dorian Williams is a football player who flies to the ball. That is fun to watch, but I’m curious what his downside is other than lack of size for MLB. He seems to be instinctive and react well. Is it just learning the D? It was a curious draft pick, but I love having “players.” I just don’t know how they use him.

I remember Casper the friendly ghost as well. Wendy the witch was a blonde hottie in a red robe. My problems apparently go WAY back! 😂

I don’t think so, but it can be an “I told you so” to those who thought he was pure trash. He had value, but I don’t get $18mil/year.

But you will miss so much enjoyment! There will be ups and down, wins and losses, but enjoy the ride! That is what life is about!

I saw an article or an ad somewhere today that showed all the things you can get for $200 at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, widely known for affordable concessions. It was a TON of food and drink. My experience is that it is so cheap you will never get to the front of the line to buy any! I gave up three times at one football game! Can I buy a wristband that gets me a fast pass to actual food and beverage? I need a suite!!! Ok, I’m in my calm down period now…..

Are you a player for the Bills? Maybe a coach, weight room or cafeteria guy? We had two boys. They both excelled, but in opposite ways. We learned not to take too much credit, or too much blame. I was NOT US. It was them. I didn’t get up at 5am to hit the gym before two a days, or go to a trainer who would make you puke so you are fresh late in the game. I would thank people politely but say it was all on him. If I’m going to be “competitive”, I’m going to do it in some fashion where my pure existence actually matters. With the Bills I’m hoping for entertainment with a happy ending. Life is too short to let relatively small things upset me like that. That doesn’t mean I don’t love them, because I do and I have since the Rockpile. For me it’s a matter of life perspective, but to each their own.

So, “Winning” currently has 50% of the vote. Many of you have been here a LONG time, like me. We have gone thru LONG painful stretches of NOT WINNING, yet we are all still here. Therefore, “winning” is not what keeps us here. We are being entertained, whether we admit it or not.

Serious question: if you (oops…WE) won ONE would you let up? Or is it this way forever? What keeps my fandom is being entertained and having an even better time when they win and advance.

We are GOOD! If you chose to live in the past, why don’t you just go back to the early 90’s? 😋 I mean, this is true too. You grew up in the Bills Family where I was from. It was in your blood in elementary school.

I don’t see how people can say they are “competitive” about something in which they are not participating and have no affect on the outcome. The team is competing, and we are fans. Sure, I want to win and I love our Bills, but it’s mostly just entertainment. Both on the field and during non-game days like this. Nobody is competing today, but I’m still here messing around for fun. It’s much more than just having a team to cheer for, and I certainly can find other things to do. .

How is AI going to affect our lifespans. It’s already affecting our lifestyles. Things will start moving even FASTER! On a similar note, my iPad will select certain topics or time frames and run a slide show for me. It could be sunsets, summer trips in the mountains, pets, etc. It just ran a series of photos (with music, of course) of our trip to NYC with our grandson last month. It probably played 10% of the photos I took, and I swear it was the best 10%. Those were the photos I would have chosen. It picked the ones with a great smile or the best angle of the WTC, etc. There are some I should delete, but they were left out. How do it know??? 🤷‍♂️

This does not shock anyone. 😋

They carried the skinny dude away, do you think one of the big guys can play OT? 🤷‍♂️

A little light reading from my high school days. https://www.gradesaver.com/kurt-vonnegut-short-stories/study-guide/summary-tomorrow-and-tomorrow-and-tomorrow

You know this could be a little reflection into yourself, right? 😂

Damn! I just saw that last night!
