Here’s a nice rule of thumb to keep in mind: Super Bowl MVP’s are given all the love in the world from fans with short memories. Let the football begin!!!

When it comes to fine seafood, he’s down on Owen’s Fish Camp* and is torn between Captain D’s and Long John Silver’s. Edited for the Sarasota poster* .

There are countless ways to do the math and skew the numbers. Jacksonville, for example, is the county seat for Duval county and it is the largest city in the US in terms of land area. The whole county is included in the population. Atlanta can be measured by the incorporated city area, or the 5 county metro area, or the greater Atlanta area because, unlike Jax, we are surrounded by more people than cows. Measuring these markets can be tricky and at times deceiving.

Is it maybe close? Do you have any things in your life you are happy about?

The time to stop reading is when you realize that the two main negative posters here do not comprehend the meaning of the word “elite”. It is NOT singular and does NOT mean guaranteed to be undefeated. Elite teams must play the games against each other. Even the dregs of the league stand a chance on any given Sunday. (Cough, cough…..Jags….) Some people reach to whine in ways that absolutely amaze me. Are we perfect? Of course not. But certainly better than most. Whining in the face of the Bills future says far more about the poster than the Bills. .

Well, there you go! Ruining all the fun and every good story line! Getting all into those pesky details!

A family friend living here in Atlanta (Buckhead, for her) just got a guided tour by a Buffalo native she was visiting in WNY. He had it all planned out and made the most of 4 days seeing what you listed and more. She grew up in Florida, lives in Atlanta and had lived and worked in NYC, DC and across Europe. I’m not saying WNY is all that, but she had reasonable expectations which were definitely exceeded. She saw stuff I’VE never seen, and she was very impressed. I can appreciate the offerings of the GIANT cities, but I’m more comfortable in a medium size town. I’ve actually looked at WNY real estate out of general curiosity, but also wondering if that might ultimately be our “beat the heat” summer/fall location.

Thurman also had the ability to pick up the blitz as well as any RB I can remember.

…or…..….post like experts on message boards!

One could easily argue the Bills and the Chargers have the two best uniforms of all time. The Raiders might round out the top three. This game was during college for me. It was a bit of a down period trying to follow my Bills from out of town. The options today are incredible compared to not all that long ago. I mean, in the early 90’s I would go to Chili’s every Tuesday (I think it was) to have lunch and read the one or two sentences they had for every NFL team in the free USA Today at the bar. Now? I can watch the 1980 Bills/Chargers game on my iPad in my recliner! Life is pretty good. . .

Dropping like flies, it seems. At least he had a full and long life. Working at that age is amazing! RIP

My wife technically works out of Manhattan and I would join her from time to time (pre-Covid). There were things we loved, then there was the rest. If it’s for you, fine! Not for me. The wife actually turned the job down until they caved on “must live in NYC”. We visited Chicago in the days before the home opener last year. I hadn’t been to Chicago in decades, but it was so much nicer and cleaner than most of Manhattan. I know, all big cities have their good and bad, but the difference was striking. And I would never want to live in Chicago, either.

Maybe he works at Applebee’s and got sick of Dave & Buster’s? I’ve stayed downtown on game weekends, but I never knew it as a kid from the suburbs who left as a 17 year old. I found downtown to be just fine, and I love the strip along Main Street in Williamsville. Still, I know some young people would prefer Manhattan or Buckhead (as my son’s buddies did after college). For me personally, more is not always better. I prefer Buffalo traffic and summers to Atlanta’s!

I can’t lie, I went thru a serious relationship with my cushy Thorlo’s. They are so padded you almost need a bigger shoe to fit properly. When I used to play tennis in them (in the steamy south) they were like a sweat sponge that would squish around in my shoes. (Apologies to those having dinner! ) I eventually changed my pattern to using them for keeping feet warm as I sleep. They are as good as slippers around the house….and you can wear them to bed! I never loved my New Balance, but if you have wide feet they are worth looking into. My favorite is K-Swiss, they are great for exercise or just walking around. NOTE: The Mods might want to keep an eye on Rex and @mead107 in this thread. There’s some kinky stuff going on out there!

The constant stream of HC’s and OC’s was not terribly helpful, either. I’m not really pro or anti Baker, but that whole situation is so Brownie from top to bottom I’ll hope he grows up and can redeem himself in a new situation….in the NFC. If not? Oh, well!

I’m guessing a parachute is involved? 🤷‍♂️ That didn’t make sense to me either, but since you asked, now I’m curious again.

I hope they don’t mention you by name. That would be poor form and have the potential to be very hurtful! Freddie Freeman recently had a similar situation when he returned to Atlanta (like Von opening in LA) and had some seller’s remorse. If I’m already rich, I’m going to do what makes me happy and the difference between $140 Mil or $165 Mil is not changing my world. Life is too short to do things just for money once you are already set. I hope Von gets settled in and falls in love with the culture and the locker room. EDIT: And the FANS! He’s gotta love the fans!

I’m sure he got a good vibe from everyone he met, and that helped him commit. That along with our high end facilities. Oh, and the money. Has anyone mentioned the money? Buffalo “chose to open the checkbook”. Love Von, don’t blame the guy, but he wasn’t coming for the vet minimum.

I have literally been at tailgates with people who had yet to buy their tickets. They wait until the last possible moment, they transfer electronically and they buy at rock bottom. I, however, have airfare, airport parking, car rental and a hotel for a few nights. I pay more than I should for tickets to have a sure thing before I take on all those other expenses. Yep, I’m that guy who gets suckered! I’m just not that bold to make the trip without tix lined up. Old people……🤷‍♂️ 😂

I offer a belated “WELCOME”! Word is some issues caused a very deep dive to be sure about you. I can’t get into specifics. But did you really……..? I kid! Welcome and if it’s IT related, I am NOT your guy! I am confident you will find the site to be well moderated and managed in general.

Which is MUCH better than talking about who to take in the top 5 spots in the draft talk popping up in October!

An actual definition: e·lite /əˈlēt,āˈlēt/ Learn to pronounce noun 1. a select group that is superior in terms of ability or qualities to the rest of a group or society. "the elite of Britain's armed forces" You don’t get to make up your own definitions. They don’t count.

Your very rational argument is wasted on a troll who refuses to accept rational thought. He either really believes it, or it’s just a game for him. If you are elite, you should win every time. I’m not sure if you are allowed to give up a FG all season, because if you were truly elite you would win very play, every time. This is a waste of time since he doesn’t even understand the meaning of the word “elite”. I’ll not feed that mess any more.

This reminds me of the car ride home from the optometrist with my first pair of glasses. Everything was so crisp and clear and beautiful! I can see why this would be very moving for anyone working on or benefiting from this project.

The funny part is, I think he may have argued this ridiculous point for so long he actually believes it. BTW - Nadal is still down a break in the third set to Mr Fritz. I don’t know who will win this match, but I know who the elite tennis player is. EDIT: Nadal down 2 sets to one, but he’s still an elite tennis player. .
