I think replay is a necessary evil. The best fix to replay I've heard came from a poster who hasn't been around here for a few years. All replay reviews should be done at game speed, no slo-mo replays. The blatantly bad calls will get overturned and folks would have to learn to live with the marginal ones. As it stands now there are tons of Zapruder-ish reviews where nobody agrees with the final call anyway. BTW, I don't expect this idea would ever get any traction.

I'm not like him at all.

Sears was my go-to growing up. They'd devote a few pages to NFL gear. I ended up with a a few jerseys of different teams (I wanted all of them) but the prize possession was the Bills jacket.

Last week on the Manningcast he said something to the effect: I don't know what's up with the jets organization, it's like their philosophy is ready, fire, aim.

Thanks, appreciate the perspective.

There's a manslaiughter trial just getting underway in NYC where an ex-Marine subdued a guy on a subway leading to his death. https://www.newsweek.com/jury-selection-begins-daniel-penny-nyc-subway-chokehold-death-1972010

I heard on WFAN that 6 out of 7 home plate umps for the WS are considered to be either hitter friendly or extremely hitter friendly. Supposedly YES shows this info before each game - any of you Crankee fans see that? Sounds like great pre-game info.

Cap Boso. Plus the sod in the helmet was epic.

Famed Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda was once asked what Mexican-born pitching sensation Fernando Valenzuela would ask for in his upcoming contract negotiations. Replied Lasorda: "He wants Texas back."

Not sure if this is a true story but in a Giants/Redskins game back in the day legendary stadium announcer Bob Sheppard called a tackle as: Sandwiched! By Hanburger and Bacon. FTR that was Redskins Chris Hanburger and Coy Bacon.

Great year and great run for sure. Completely unexpected going into the season and even moreso after the horrible start. Still, I can't shake the feeling that it was a missed opportunity. But then I look at the run diferential against the Dodgers (46-26) and realize they were fortunate to make it as far as they did.

As a Mets fan I was not too happy to see the Judge/Ohtani promo last night. If the Mets lose it was all part of MLB's master plan (takes tongue out of cheek).

Just the opposite for me. After witnessing my sons college teams win (Hokies and Terps) I'm looking for the trifecta. Gotta figure out how to get the Bills radio broadcast tomorrow as I'll be driving back home.

I'm like Coach from Cheers - when I pick up the phone there's nobody on the other end because the ringing was in my head.

All the best to you and your wife! Go Bills.

According to espn we were either going to face the Dodgers or the Fathers:

I've posted this before, does this count as Bills related?

Audioslave and Warren Miller. What's not to like?

I hear ya, no doubt they've exceeded my expectations as well and that plays a big part. Beyond that, this team's resilience has been remarkable and that played a part too.

@ExWNYer @Another Fan @Gugny Todays win was reminiscent of the '86 series against the Astros. Two chances to win one game but with Mike Scott/Zack Wheeler on tap for the 2nd chance it felt like a must win. I was uncharacteristically calm when the Mets blew chance after chance early in the game and then went down 1-0. Hats off to Suarez, what a great/gutty performance. And my uncharacteristic calm quickly turned to characteristic dread when Diaz couldn't find the strike zone. Watched the game with my just- turned-88 mom. Good times.

I was a bigger fan of tongue-in-cheek horror movies like: Return of the Living Dead Creepshow Re-Animator Evil Dead II
