  1. On “normal” houses you traditionally get 94-96% of the asking price on a properly priced house. With more expensive properties it’s not unusual to see sales at 20-30% discounts from asking.
  2. You’re correct about it being likable to the masses. That house won’t offend anyone’s sensibilities. I used to perform and review real estate appraisals. On relocation appraisals they ask if there is anything about the house that may negatively affect marketability. Nobody ever enjoyed getting dinged for their terrible taste and how they hurt the house. They’d want to talk to you when they get that news! 😂 Also, cost/SF arguments are meaningless unless you adjust for everything else. How’s many acres are you on? Do you have travertine floors or vinyl? Do you have a pool? Those are all big questions, but it’s the same old story: kitchens and baths sell houses.
  3. Ski resorts with people filling up outdoor spas in single digit weather with the steam rising is still a strange sight to me. I’ve never actually gotten in one like that.
  4. I’m not arguing or taking a position, this is just an observation: Every time I fly into Buffalo I am surprised when I look down and see so many pools! Both in-ground and above ground, there are far more pools than I would have expected.
  5. Maybe he’s finally recovered from his torn ACL and Achilles? He was just starting to look like himself after the ACL when he tore the Achilles. He was slow to come back, but he was getting there after knee surgery. Maybe he’s at the point where he fully trusts the Achilles again. It seems worth a shot to me.
  6. He was just starting to come back from the ACL when he tore the Achilles. Hopefully he’s just a slow healer, but gets back to form.
  7. We needed some help at Goalie. Worth a shot.
  8. I haven’t even heard that. My point is there is no reason why this should even be an issue if everybody acts like grownups. I think they kind of deserved each other, because I just don’t think much of either.
  9. So, you mean they are immunized? I don’t doubt that the Jets are fools at times, and I’m no fan of Rodgers either, but WTH happened here? And why? There had to be a better way. Take the high road and do the right thing for the right reason.
  10. I moved to Cincinnati for college in 1977. There was no way to follow out of market NHL teams then. .
  11. As a guy who lost track of the Sabres when I left town in ‘77, that seemed like a peculiar comment to me. But include the Sabres and I get that. It’s funny how your perspective changes things.
  12. This is not news, but a question: Have we made any significant changes to our scouting in the last year? I know guys get poached, or guys are added, but anything to cause hope or concern? I generally like Beane and his moves, but I’ll pretend this horse is just laying down and resting and beat it one more time - we need to draft better, especially high. The Eagles have drafted a Pro Bowler from 2018 to 2013. If only we could have half those hits….
  13. Since I never listened to his stuff in the first place, I’ll just continue the status quo. I didn’t like his music, so no boycott was necessary.
  14. We can all take on a variety of looks. I’ll try to be a little less superficial and say that Hailee came off as a very likable, genuine and funny person on that Hot Wings clip promoting her new movie. She is an actual person, not just some model on a poster in a teenage boy’s bedroom. But I guess that’s not a very hot take. 🤷‍♂️
  15. You made me look, and I was surprised to see cigarettes on the menu for 70 cents at Rich Stadium.
  16. This is the Keon point of view, buy your puffy yellow coat in the summer, stick it to you HC before the draft. Timing is everything in comedy.
  17. Apparently, he was not a very good long term planner.
  18. I’m pretty sure wishing it was colder was his downfall.
  19. This is very strange, but just yesterday I went down the packaged cheese and meats aisle and spotted bologna. I thought back to those sandwiches as a kid, and the only thing I can remember being addeď was some sautéed onions. Maybe a little yellow mustard? Delicious as I recall, and it’s probably a good thing I forgot about them!
  20. This became inevitable when he signed that contract. Raise your hand if you are surprised. I think Haslam may have been advising the Dolphins on that one. .
  21. First, I don’t pretend to know anything about the guy, but the last two weaknesses from NFL.COM might push him down some: Declares hips a little prematurely. Inconsistent in locating the football downfield. Will have trouble checking stronger wideouts. Massive liability in run support. Below-average open-field tackler after the catch.
  22. I was actually thinking of his drop in the end zone that may have prevented them from going to the Super Bowl. Looking at it now, the DB did get his hand on the ball, but that needs to be a TD. https://www.baltimoreravens.com/video/evans-dropped-pass-costs-ravens-7664759 .
  23. I bet Ravens fans think we are overvaluing Lee Evans. 😂
  24. If you forget the “name”, but look at what kind of contributions we are looking for, I’d love to see the Lofton skill set. I’m not saying he’s better than Moulds or anybody else, but I’d love that kind of player to open up the field by forcing the safeties deep to guard against his speed. .
  25. Thank you for chiming in, Mr Rosati. 😊 Wings really should not be so hard. A flabby wing is disgusting and there should be severe penalties for serving them like that.
