This will seem insensitive to some, but it's my opinion that the majority of people shouldn't have to forfeit things like availability of peanut doughnuts because of a group of others who have allergies. The burden of avoiding known allergens should be on them. The seller or shop should be able to exonerate themselves of any liability by posting a visible notice that the following substances and food items may be present. Did stadiums stop selling peanuts in the shell or even Crackerjacks? I honestly have no idea. Can I be sued if I bring a bag of peanuts into Highmark and some nearby attendee goes apoplectic? I feel sorry for people who are triggered by nuts, shellfish, or whatever, but I believe those of us who don't suffer should have rights as well. So, how do the peanut doughnut sellers in WNY avoid litigation that's such a concern through the country?

no

I had no idea peanut sticks (as we called them - not fingers) were a WNY thing. I thought they were everywhere. It was one of my favorite doughnut choices when I was growing up. But the ones I recall having as a kid were not the huge handful like the one in this picture or those shown in the movie. They were about half that size. The real question is: why aren't they a regular thing in all doughnut shops across America? Regarding the plausibility of parts in the plot...even though the high school sweetheart moved away, why didn't Uncle (Ralphie Cifaretto) Tommy go ask the sister, who still lived in the house, where TF she was. Better still, why didn't Ralph put the moves on the sister instead? The movie was total fluff. The lead actress had an awful speaking voice. How the hell did she get the gig?

I believe the guy taken 3rd in the 2024 draft will get there first - and probably win.

I was at that one also, but just don’t have much recall about it. I’d driven up from Atlanta the day before, went to the game Sunday, stayed the whole week in Buffalo, and left the following Sunday, stopping at (exactly) halfway point in Cincinnati to watch Kelly play in his second game. Unfortunately, another loss. I wonder how many fans can claim to have watched JKs first two games live.

My first game at Rich, Bills' first Monday Night ABC-TV prime time appearance, October 29, 1973. Bills beat Chiefs 23-14, O.J. goes over 1,000 in game 7. The following season opener, 1974 against the Raiders. O.J. was hurt. Maybe because it's ancient history, but surprisingly, this game rarely gets a mention as one of the great ones. The ending was somewhat like the 13 second game or any other in which there are multiple lead changes in the final couple of minutes. The Bills pulled it out with a pass from Joe Ferguson to Ahmad Rashad (who was known as Bobby Moore when he was traded to the Bills). And the 1980 season opener against the hated Miami Dolphins who had gone 20-0 in the 70's. Beautiful sunny 1pm Sunday game in which the Bills finally ended the streak. Goal posts came down. Looked like the Bills were finally a team to reckon with. That's my big 3. Honorable mention: win against Rams, Dec 7, 1980 Chuck Knox era coming to fruition

I would've simply said winning.

So was the hot dog. Worst P.O.S. hot dog I ever had. You get what you pay for.

Probably. Regardless of the cheesiness and predictability of Hallmark movies, my wife enjoys the wholesomeness and good cheer they offer. No swearing, violence, or other obvious negativity. For her, Hallmark is a nice break from the harshness of constant real-world news stuff and documentaries that are on when I’m controlling the remote. She’s a big Bills fan through marriage, so the movie will have added interest. No matter how saccharin and cornball the show may be, I’ll enjoy sharing the time with my wife. When I see her smiling as she watches, that’ll make the two hour event all worthwhile for me. Edit: just found out that The Soprano’s Bobby Baccalieri and Ralphie Ciferetto are in the movie, so maybe somebody will get whacked afterall. 😜

And yet, the team was a couple bad first down spots from possibly going to the super bowl last year. They've averaged nearly 12 wins per season since 2019. They started out this year as super bowl favorites, then won their first 4 games. They beat perennial powerhouses from KC and Baltimore. After a 17 year drought, they've made the post season 7 out of the last 8 years. So what happened? Maybe fielding a XFL defense after the starting squad has been completely decimated by injury, starting as early as OTAs and continuing right up until the last game. Their regular season success has prevented them from drafting high enough to get an impact WR as the blue-chippers are long gone by the time the Bills are up to the podium. I get that many are disappointed with the trajectory of this season, but this is what sometimes happens in the NFL. Last year the Bills exceed expectations. This year they're experiencing a lot of bad breaks. Guess what? They may not make the playoffs this year. It's not the end of the world. They may get eliminated in the first round if they get there. Maybe an 'off season' could be a blessing in disguise if they can get a draft pick within the top 20 for a change. With a little maneuvering, they could even drop down into the top 15 and get that impact WR. Whatever happens Chicken Littles, it's not time to blow it all up and start over. There's still hope.

So, at 6-3 many of you are calling for a complete overhaul. Do you think just maybe the rash of injuries leading to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th string reserves taking the field on defense might have made the difference in at least 1 or 2 of the losses? If the record was 7-2 would you still be calling for a regime change? On offense, we're fortunate to have a good O-line and RB that stays healthy, but ironically, the passing game is now the offense's Achilles heal, even with an MVP QB. It's too late now, but in the offseason, the Bills need to do everything and anything to get Josh weapons that can be game-changers. Wideouts that can stretch the field and get separation. The 'everyone eats' nonsense is not the answer. Josh has maybe the worst group of WRs in the league. Shakir is a reliable weapon. Kincaid would be too if he could stay on the field. Is Joe Brady a problem? I suspect he wasn't ready to assume the role of coordinator for a team with super bowl aspirations. Reading the tea leaves, I'd say Babich may be taking a Fraser-style much needed break after this season. Enough with the on-the-job training of these coordinators. Get experienced minds to run the offense and defense. I don't think firing McDermott or Beane is the answer. It's a recipe for the revolving door of coaches that was such a joy during 'the drought'. Get healthy, get a stud WR somehow, and bring in experienced coordinators with winning track records.

It was the typical hype machine of loud music, shirt cannons, kiss cams, and obnoxious talking over the P.A. system at every stoppage of play. Just too much. (go ahead, insert, "ok boomer" here). I'd heard that the food prices were exceptionally low compared to many stadiums. True. But... you get what you pay for. All I wanted was a friggin' hot dog! I had to walk past about 6 concession stands to find one. There was BBQ, nachos, and a bunch of other crap I couldn't care less about. When I finally found a hot dog it was the worst piece of crap imaginable. The dogs at Quik Trip or Race Trac are better. Someone I was with got a burger. It looked equally awful. The annoying loud mouth, fat 12-year old Larry Mondello look-a-like in front of us with his Falcons jersey, kept standing up doing the first down arm thing like players on the field do. I hate admit I would have gotten pleasure from whacking him on the back of his head. Getting out of the stadium to the exits wasn't easy. From the second level it seemed like we had to walk down endless number of concrete ramps just to get to the door leading outside. Seriously, it had to be a minimum of 15 back and forth ramps - similar to the ones from the old Aud in Buffalo. My poor brother with his bad knees was in agony. Where did the escalators go that we used to get to our level? Apparently they're only for incoming. I'd like to go to the new Highmark Stadium, but I'm about done with the modern stadium experience.

It was the only later afternoon game, so naturally the viewer numbers were high. I can't recall another time when there was a single late afternoon game. It was for all intents and purposes a nationally televised game, being shown in every market in America.
