  1. All the more reason to seek and support the much smaller local places. They have a hard time competing against the giants, but they are where you go for a true quality meal, even if it’s a bit pricier. Even the “high end” restaurants named are just franchise joints. Some are OK, but none are great. Our favorite restaurants are often a hole in the wall next to a package store you wouldn’t DREAM of going into….unless you had local knowledge.
  2. Almost the only time we ever do fast food is if we are driving long distance. Wendy’s is my first choice, and Arby’s would be next if there is one at our exit. I used to get Taco Bell for a late lunch a few times a year, and enjoyed it throughly…..until I regretted it. It’s fun, until the gross feeling sets in. Burger King does not react well with my system. I think I probably LOSE weight if I eat a Whopper. Bad idea when you never know when the next exit is coming up! McD’s…….has reliable bathrooms. I will say, Jersey Mike’s has some pretty good food. But I always prefer avoiding franchises in favor of independent local joints when I have the option.
  3. He IS a small dog, and he wants to get paid before he gets broken (again).
  4. Those are my favorite games! 😋 Unfortunately, punting turned out to be EXTREMELY DANGEROUS……… for us……….in the opener vs the Steelers.
  5. In addition to the $50 MIL, he also demands to be at the top of the list in every news cycle. That part is non-negotiable!
  6. Somehow, it just feels weird to see the word “beautiful” right next to “shack”. 🤷‍♂️ Your goat deserves more from you! Like….a goat palace! .
  7. It was so awkward I couldn’t watch it all again. I felt badly for Dan Patrick. He still talks about that interview! Kyler was trying to play it coy like he didn’t know which sport he was going to play. It’s absolutely painful to watch, and I’m glad he’s not OUR guy! If you’re not going to talk, decline the interview. Pretty simple, as apparently is Kyler.
  8. Put that up against ANY interview with Josh, and ask yourself which guy you prefer. It is NOT a difficult decision!
  9. Look up Kyler on the Dan Patrick show then as yourself: Do you want this guy as your QB? I’ll pass, thank you. If you’ve seen it, you will remember it. It was THAT awkward. He ain’t no Josh Allen! https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjF---OsKP2AhWkmuAKHXFwCPoQwqsBegQIAxAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Daj8jG0aYdsU&usg=AOvVaw2hLXaJXL1iiBDUrqd1iKfN .
  10. I used to go there for lunch when I lived in Sarasota. They moved the location a bit north and I’ve been to the new place once. They do a nice job of giving me a taste of my childhood. . Here in Atlanta there was a Ted’s knockoff called Barker’s Red Hots. They even had Loganberry and “Crystal Beach fries”. Sadly, they closed down a few years ago. Another “taste of home”. .
  11. The ridiculous cost of golf balls preceded the cost of “market price” chicken wings. WTF? I get mine online as used balls. I think it’s 80 balls per order. That gets me thru a few rounds. I may not be good, bit I am NOT slow. Wife gifted me new clubs a few years ago. I got her clubs in response. We have been out 3 times, tops. Maybe when she stops working, but she lives to work.
  12. This is the essence of the issue. I was a tennis guy. Dated tennis ladies in my adult single days. My wife had spent time in her youth playing tennis. She went to camps and took lessons. But we would never be close to the same level, so it was awkward. In golf you don’t need someone to hit you a good ball to hit a good ball. It’s not a back and forth thing. In golf, it’s you vs the course. And, of course, your mind.
  13. Again……an opportunity missed. Technically, it was the dog’s colorful poop that captivated me as a child. When I tried to emulate her results I got a reputation around the neighborhood. Dogs get away with almost anything! 😋
  14. I was young. I failed to realize the financial opportunity. Millions lost! FAR more entertaining than an Andy Warhol soup can!
  15. I just lost a little love for the horsey sauce…….
  16. I had a dog get my Crayola 64 pack when I was a kid (NO, not that kinda kid!) and she pooped rainbows for a while there!
  17. I’ve heard of it. Cute little town…..and very goat friendly, I hear. One of the things it’s known for. .
  18. ….throw in the wifey’s hat, and it looks like a bargain.
  19. I spent my wonderful formative years in WNY. It will always be “home”. And I’ll always be part of “we”. 😋
  20. We have a skyline?
  21. Lordy! What was the alcohol bill for that party! Doesn’t seem like a process kinda guy….. or crowd!
  22. I think I tend to be higher on Knox than the average fan. I like his style, and I love the trajectory of his career. I don’t know how Beane is going to manage the cap going forward, but I’m thrilled that we have so many players I really want to keep around. It didn’t used to be that way.
  23. I actually agree with you. He made a point of being vague and not pinning blame on others. He did **** up, but all we can do is move forward. Live and learn. It should have been less than 13 seconds, and they shouldn’t have played it the way they did. I’m also upset, but people who act like they should be fired are just being childish, IMO. Big picture, folks. Look at the big picture.
  24. I said the ST Coordinator is gone, and you STILL haven’t answered my questions. To be fair, it all ultimately falls on the HC, and he’s accepted that. Now, what are you going to do about it?
  25. So, if you want to ignore statistics, we may have been at least the 8th best on your arbitrary “visual test”? I can live with that, because it’s not based on much. I like what we have, and where we can go. BTW - MOST defenses played a LOT of bad QB’s, because there are a lot of bad QB’s out there. I’d argue that a dozen good ones is pushing it. .
