  1. A great story although I’m sorry you had to go through that back then. Touching and funny. I can also remember when I first heard about Lennon‘s assassination. But, the story about your pupils being naturally of different sizes in that scenario was funny. The story even had a nice “shaggy dog“ ending. Anyway, it doesn’t sound like a pinched nerve to me, either.😁
  2. My understanding of the term has always been that it is an Italian acronym for “death to the French. Cry Italian”. I remember this understanding of the term ever since I was a kid growing up in Niagara Falls. So, initially, it was not a reference to a crime organization. It has an altogether different history in terms of its origin. I’m fine with it being used for the bills. I think over the years it has taken on a general meaning and it’s more negative history has been quite diluted. Besides, I’m an Italian American and I’m OK with it. As an aside, when growing up in Niagara falls in the 60s my father was an acquaintance of Peter Maggadino who was the brother of Stefano, the head of a major crime family in the country located in Niagara Falls/Lewiston. He owned a funeral parlor (wouldn’t you know it). I met him once in 1966 when my mother passed and we used them for the funeral. I was 13. He was very nice to me.
  3. I remember the 1964 AFL championship game in Buffalo against the chargers. San Diego was a big favorite. Then, Mike Stratton put the iconic kit on Keith Lincoln and the rest is history. They played again for the 1965 championship which was a much easier win for the bills. Yes, I am that old.
  4. “Goin’ to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come”
  5. Yeah, Baker will be spending a lot of time at home after today.
  6. Dumb challenge. Free time out for Pittsburgh
  7. This time I stepped out to let the cat in. Wow!
  8. It’s a pick your poison scenario no matter how you look at it. Before I come up with some sense of who we should play next week I want to see how Pittsburgh looks tonight. Particularly Big Ben
  9. That is a fumble! There’s no way they can steal this from us
  10. Come on defense. Time to close ranks!
