I’ve never been in your mind, but I drove thru Gary Indiana once. That’s plenty for me.

It will be THE GAME, so it will be on almost everywhere. But it’s still fun to have a few hundred Bills fans surrounding you when the SHOUT song comes on!

I always advise people to verify the info they come across. I’ve been burned by old info in the past, like the bar had closed and the club had moved. When I finally found the right place the guys couldn’t remember how many years it had been since that was the Bills bar. I’ve had more than one experience like that. Good luck finding a great place!

That was very smooth and diplomatic of you. I like the way you never directly mentioned @Sweats, but I think we all knew what you meant. 😊

Did Bill Belichick's dog draft this guy?

😳 are you saying……no, that couldn’t be! This kind of stuff has to be on the up and up, like the old wrestlers who would go under the ring before coming out all bloody. I still text Bills stuff with a buddy I met in 4th grade and he SWORE the wrestling was all real. How people become so blind to such obvious stuff kinda fascinates me. EDIT: I’m not saying whatever is going to happen is fake, but is there a shadier form of entertainment than this? It’s not exactly as far fetched as NFL games being rigged because they want certain outcomes. .

My wife went from calling it “working from home” to “living at work”. There is a certain amount of truth to that.

I have a tennis buddy in Atlanta who is an Indian guy from Malaysia. He still has family and a home there and spends about half his year in Malaysia. Somehow we get talking about food, and it always sounds so simple and delicious. It’s the same proteins, fish and chicken mostly, but how it’s prepared is very different from how we cook. I’ve tried to make some of his dishes but I can never find all the ingredients. He turned me on to a Nam Dae Mun farmers market near my house. What an eye opener! Just last weekend I needed I needed jicama for some strange reason. I tried two Publix locations and a Sprouts with no luck, so I went to that market. Jicama? Sure, what kind do you want? Want a coconut? They have 5 different types. It’s where I found dark soy sauce when I needed it. It’s awesome! They have big clear labels telling you what everything is, because I didn’t even recognize half of it. They even have live crabs in the seafood section. THIS is where you shop to make that kind of food. .

If YOU snooze at the office, somebody will notice and sneak in to mess with your stuff and poop on your desk. Remain alert and vigilant at all times! My favorite job ever could be done equally well at home or at the office. It was the happiest 13 working years of my life. I was at the office at least for a couple hours almost every day. I loved the flexibility that it wasn’t necessary, but I learned a lot from the other people, and had some things I could offer to help others. It’s hard to get better in a vacuum.

My wife’s employer had a hard time getting everyone back into the office. A lot of people just didn’t want to come back in, and some had moved out of state. That’s pretty bold! 😂 The young people who said they can do everything they need to do from the comfort of their home don’t know what they don’t know. You learn and grow by being exposed to people with more experience and different points of view. That does not happen to the same extent virtually. When I retired I did miss the routine of getting up, going in and interacting with everybody. There is a comfort to that routine, even when I hated my job for a couple years. I left the job, but I missed the people. My Golden Retrievers are good listeners, but not much into full conversations.

Jon Gruden now employed by Barstool Sports
Augie replied to BillsPride12's topic in The Stadium Wall
I lived in the general Tampa market (Sarasota) during the Dungy/Gruden era. Sports talk radio had a former Buc hosting who was still close to many of the players dealing with Gruden. Many, many tales of him being a person you don’t dare trust. He will lie to your face and think nothing of it. I’m sure he can be on his best behavior sometimes, but that does not define who he truly is. Our sons’ participated in the same 7 on 7 tournaments at USF. That smug little &^%$# walked around like he owned the joint. He is a person who is very easy to dislike. -
If it’s on Netflix with no additional cost, I’d be curious enough to check it out. I had no idea how it was being viewed, and it snuck up on me that it’s tomorrow. It’s one of those things they talk about that never seems to come. I actually have no idea who the other guy is. I didn’t care enough to retain much of what I heard. 🤷♂️

I think just like QB’s, these younger WRs have been doing 7 on 7 camps for thousands of reps before they ever even get to college now. I know my kids did 7 on 7 camps at USF (Tampa) that brought teams from all over, and it was like a giant football summer camp for QBs, WRs, TEs and DBs. I think they are generally much more prepared than in years/decades past.
