  1. Knowing the Cabana Inn, you didn’t have to get that little critter from a pet store! All hail the rat! (Or your ingenuity, if that was the case….) That’s an expensive piece of dirt, and I’m not sure why that place was still standing the last time I was back. EDIT: Welcome! .
  2. I certainly don’t know the guy, but he seems like the kind of guy who’s going to put the contract ahead of the chance for a ring unless it’s super close. I don’t even mean that in a critical way, just that different things drive different people. That’s OK, it just is what is is as long as you know what you’re dealing with. I’ll be curious to see how it goes for the Colts if he has to battle thru injuries the next couple seasons. That’s a LOT of guaranteed money.
  3. Yahoo is a bit like Sports Illustrated. When I hear something from them I think…..”huh, who knew they were still around?”
  4. Our unwillingness to just keep handing the ball to Thurman cost us that Super Bowl. I’m not going to name names, but….. We now have a good opportunity to correct that unfortunate outcome! .
  5. Ohhhhh, the memories! It was about 30+ years ago when I went to a wedding of a close childhood friend in Pittsburgh. One of “the gang” was there with his wife. I had never met her before, but she walked up to me and said “So, you’re the guy who farted on my husband’s head”. 😱 🤷‍♂️ WHAT? I had no recollection of such an event, or how that could even go down. But I could not deny it was not a possibility. That was a long time ago, and fortunately nobody threw a flag! OK, I’m (temporarily) done sharing far too much. Turns out the fart head’s wife is awesome, and she thought the tale was hysterical!
  6. I was thinking more a trip to Paris for a custom chapeau……but Tops will work.
  7. Take Brady out of the math and they are all day laborers.
  8. CB WR OL LB S CB Chartreuse. I require a custom hat, due to my deceptively large and misshapen noggin. One of my many curses. .
  9. We moved to Sarasota in 1993. My parents came to visit a few months later. We went out to dinner Saturday night, and they ran into people they knew from Buffalo. We went to church Sunday morning, and they ran into people they used to work with. I took my dad to the Cabana Inn (a dump along the Trail for those familiar that was then the go-to Bills joint prior to Sunday Ticket at home or nicer Bills bars) for the Bills game. It was mostly big projection TV’s so the windows are all blocked out to see the screen (and NOT see how disgusting the place was/is). My dad gets up to go to the rest room and literally bumps into a guy he went to high school with 50 years earlier, and they had not seen each other since. How they recognized each other, I have NO idea after 50 year! They were there 72 hours and knew more people than we did after months of living and working there. After growing up in Buffalo (which I LOVED!) you deserve something nice! My dream is to get back to Sarasota one day, at least part-time. Maybe a summer place somewhere cooler, like the mountains……..or Buffalo? .
  10. But we will be safe in our cubicles while he runs the risk of limping off the edge of the earth! Who’s a dummy now, Sammy? Wait! I thought they were being no nice!!!
  11. As I’ve been saying, I fully expect a vet CB before the draft. Beane likes to go into he draft without any real holes in the roster. Nobody too expensive, but fairly serviceable. I don’t have any idea who that might be, but it’s how he goes into the draft. That will get you a beer in the new stadium. .
  12. I took beef on weck and grilled wing in sauce to my neighbor from Kenmore on game day a few years ago. She STILL talks about the wings.
  13. They want you to think you’re getting chicken meat, when instead @Royale with Cheese and others try to feed you chicken parts. Well, I’m not buying it either! BTW - at lunch today a guy at the bar ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wrap…..with ranch instead of blue cheese. We had to have words. I alerted the authorities and he was taken in for 72 hours of observation.
  14. HEY, PEOPLE!!! It’s only 14 days until the draft! Unfortunately, this thread may survive that long, then pick back up in that long dry spell after the draft. I’m heading to lunch at a place with good wings. They have bones because…..well, they are actual CHICKEN WINGS! Unfortunately, their blue cheese is so weak and runny I’ll be getting a Cobb salad instead. I would never dream to ask for ranch, unless the dream was a nightmare!
  15. And…….as the face of the franchise, I’d rather have the guy you’d want your daughter to marry. On the surface, that is no contest. Superficial, I know, but it is entertainment. None of us know what’s beneath the surface, but I know which way I lean.
  16. He is his own worst enemy. His ego rules his actions, but he lacks Aaron Rodgers level talent or intelligence. He just needs to shut up! Most guys rehabilitate as a back-up if needed, but he’s too much of a public distraction for anyone to want him as a back-up. Way to ruin all your options, Baker!
  17. You be you…. We KNEW what the deal was with Josh. It would be a long term deal, not a way to buy time until we decided if he could be the guy. I was speaking to the essence of the question, while it could be taken more literally. I get that. Do you get what I’m saying? We KNEW, the Browns did not.
  18. Did he play under it, or was it a placeholder?
  19. If you know you nailed it with a QB, they probably never get the 5th year. They get a new deal. See Mayfield, Baker. Same with most positions, but especially QB. Nail it down before the price goes up!!!
  20. Probably the best actual wing/sauce around here is served with tiny chips of flavorless blue cheese (?) in a watery runny sauce. The owner is from Buffalo I’m told, but I’ve never met him. I won’t punch him in the face or anything, I just want to tell him I no longer get wings there because it’s the worst excuse for blue cheese I’ve ever experienced. AND IT IS STILL BETTER THAN RANCH! Take that! @Royale with Cheese
  21. I swear I have seen menus that say “Market Price” for chicken wings! Like it’s lobster or caviar or something. It used to be just you got a side of to go with you pizza. Or 25 cents wings at happy hour. What is this world coming to? I blame the Federal Reserve for The Great Chicken Wing Crisis!
  22. Ranch is more like ruining a beer by putting a cigarette butt in it!
  23. Ranch actually IS good with home made chips. Save it for the chips! Oh, the humanity! 😱
  24. I’ve never reported anyone! How does that work???!!! .
  25. I’ve never even BEEN to Austin, so don’t listen to me, but I always thought it would be like Atlanta which is a college football town with an NFL afterthought. That could be completely incorrect. You see UGA, Georgia Tech, Bama, Auburn, FSU, etc gear everywhere in Atlanta. And there is an occasional sighting of a Falcons hat or shirt.
