  1. When your Dad played aided by a padded dash board behind his head.. it could give you issues.
  2. Props to SDS. I remember the days on a shared server that crashed often and was a bandwidth bottleneck. It's come a long way. But lets not forget the general population of posters --- their peer pressure keeps community standards high. You make a duplicate post, all suddenly you're under a dog pile The moderators deserve some credit as well.
  3. Reading everyone's woes, seems they can be solved by one of three options: 1. Having a Granny in Buffalo. Install a Slingbox in her house. 2. NFL DTV streaming.. using a VPN to disguise your location. 3. Move to WNY. That's a bit hardcore, but it worked form me.
  4. Just a thought on maybe why your antenna TV didn't work.. If the over the air antenna is not omnidirectional -- you have to carefully aim it at the transmitter site. You can find out where the transmitter is using several websites.
  5. To summarize the situation: Cover-1 appropriately uses "fair use" However, their comprehensiveness of total games Cover-1 comes close to inappropriate but doesn't cross the line The NFL (via the Bills organization) feels hinky about the situation and don't want to grant Cover-1 further access (via formal creds), which is totally their right to deny I'll take another Mich Ultra.. I know light beer sucks, but I'm fighting a battle of the bulge.
  6. Truth. You just know when they break ground the first day they'll find Native American remains--and the whole project will be called off. Or some endangered owl will be discovered nesting. Or some neckbearded preservationists will file an injunction.
  7. C'mon Daboll! We all need a role model. You go girl. I want to lose 20 pounds before the Bills make their 2019 playoff appearance. Lead us to the promised land!
  8. Since he's eloquent when losing, let's hope we don't hear much from him.
  9. Contrast that to New Era. That's what makes the partially sunken New Era such an architectural masterpiece. The hike to the upper decks is negligible. The hike from any seats to concessions is minimal.
  10. Ravens = Moribund local economy. Downtown palace stadium. PSLs. Any lesson here for WNY and Bills fans? Buehler? Buehler?
  11. Yep! I cook steaks almost exactly to this method. They come out steakhouse great. I use a digital meat thermometer also. I used to have the internal temps written down for rare, medium rare, and medium, but I've lost that over the years. Note: "Letting that mutha rest" for 15 minutes after baking is an absolute necessity that many people gloss over in haste. If you cut that steak without resting it, it's juices spill out all over the plate. The resting process drives the juices back toward the center of the cut--it's also a good time to prep the sides.
  12. Jerry Seinfeld's clockwise swirl has the be signature move of all time. David Puddy thought the move un-original. The move was so complex, George Costanza needed a cheat sheet.
  13. Interesting poll result. Today I learned: 60% of TBD readers are from out of town. Most of those are probably Ex-Pats. Though there are surely some who follow the Bills never having lived here--like Pancho Billa.
  14. Yummm... Toradol. Worked wonders on my back until this damn opioid crisis caused the pain Doc to cut me off.
  15. July is a difficult month for TSW. Possibly the worst. Mostly posts talking about something already beaten to death. But a very early mock draft takes the cake. C'mon August. Especially c'mon September.
  16. He broke Operational Security by naming his pet peeve. Now the opposition is going to play the sounds of a vacuum cleaner.
  17. I remember it as well. The Metro and VRE shutdown, stranding thousands of people. Every single restaurant in the neighbor shutdown, except one: Chick-Fil-A.
  18. There is some, but not enough discussion here about cost. I notice many of the "roof" voters reside outside Erie County. It's always fun to have an open wallet with OPM (other people's money). But when it's your own wallet being raided to pay for the stadium, you a become a little more circumspect about what features come along and how much they cost. Don't be naive. Don't fool yourself--if you live in Erie County, one way or another the stadium cost is being passed on to you. There aren't rich guys with sacks of cash, or government slush funds to defray from the cost. There's no magical accountant tricks. And cost isn't going to be a drop in the bucket. It will be something that will impact your budget (unless you're on welfare or a refugee). A 20 year construction bond on a 1.5 billion stadium will have a 9 million monthly payment. Every man, woman and child in the county will pay $116 per year in increased taxes. No small change if you're a family of five. I'm not opting for a roof without some argument for it's return on investment. Would it lead to other events, such as winter concerts? PS: Lucas Oil Field at $750 mil a couple years ago has been proposed as a benchmark. No way that happens in WNY. Too much graft and corruption.
  19. Is there a way to filter the survey so only those who will pay the resulting tax increases vote? ha ha ha
  20. Eeeewww.... gross. Do not click. It's worse than a Peter Pan thread.
  21. As a kid, I remember watching that control room in action. They should add some wax figures of people as they appeared during the period. So different from how things are today. I saw a big glass ash tray in one of the photos--it's reminded me that probably 90% of adults smoked in those days, and they smoked like freaking chimneys. I also remember most people in the control room had: crew cuts ties a pocket protector a slide rule The 60's were a significant period--delete some hippies and it would have been perfect.
  22. He's not a legend. He's a notable player. Notable is just below legend on the famous scale. What made his career notable was his speed getting down field. If it weren't for his speed, he might not even be in the NFL.
  23. But does Daboll say Patience, young grasshopper?
  24. More specifically, you should buy official gold currency that has collector's value and has a liquid market to buy and sell. I'm thinking US Double Eagle Gold Coins. Or a Vanguard Precious Metals account if you don't want physical possession.
