    Bells Two Hearted is one of my all time fav's. Enjoy! I can't seem to find it much here in VT, but there are quite a few suitable replacements.

    A friend of mine makes VT beer runs from time to time & comes back with a trunk full of Alchemist, Hill Farmstead, and others to share. But I think my favorite IPA may be Jai Alai by Cigar City in Tampa.

    Depends on how much you want to spend.

     

    Taketsuru pure malt blended is a good intro if you want one that isn't too pricey, but Nikka Yoichi single malt is tremendous.

     

    My two favorites are Hibiki 17 and Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique. Sublime.

    Takesuru pure malt sounds like a winner to me! I think my palate needs to further evolve before I can consider dropping $300+ on a bottle.

    On a per game or per target basis you would be for sure. If you want to take cumulative, you still may be wrong. Everyone knows that cumulative stats though aren't a very good indicator. If my team throws 65 times a game and the QB averages 300 yards a game my team (and QB) aren't very good. You would say, but he had 4,800 yards and I would say he had 3.4 yards per attempt!! That is why anyaltics and advanced statistics have taken over. They normalize the stats so that we can accurately compare. When that happens Sammy is borderline top 5 and definitely top 10.

     

    He does need to stay healthy. Playing 12 1/3 games a year isn't ideal. The Bills also need to throw him the ball more than 6.5 times a game. Julio is getting 11 targets and Brown 11.2. Is there any reason, especially with the quality of pass catchers on this roster, that he doesn't get 10 targets a game? If he did his production would be right there with the best in the game.

    IF he could stay healthy & IF the Bills were intent on throwing him the ball 10+ times per game, he could be worth it. IMO, we haven't seen enough evidence of either of these.

    your method of tagging instead is ignoring the options/tools available for roster building and maintenance. Sammy is the only one eligible for the 5th year option in 2018 while all UFAs are eligible for the tag. If you use the tag on him, you don't have it available for anyone else. If you use the tag on him now, and can't work out a long term deal, tagging him again is a crazy cap hit most teams won't take on which is why it's rarely used twice. It would be much more beneficial to use the option in 2018 and tag in 2019. Obviously working out a long term deal is what the Bills want but at this stage it's no guarantee. They need to use the tools available and the 5th year option in the CBA is one of the best tools out there for a FO. Especially considering the team can withdraw it later if needed. No brainer.

    True, but paying top 10 money to a WR who hasn't peformed to that standard isn't exactly a solid team building move. If you look at the guys who are up for FA in 2018, you'll have a really hard time finding someone who'd be worthy of tag consideration:

    I like both of those as well.

     

    What we really need is an Asian Whiskey thread.

    I've been looking to grab a bottle of Asian whiskey, but I've only tried Suntory (don't remember which one; it was a freebie at the bar). What are your top recommendations?

    Dwayne Wright was on Ralph, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if he was also the driving force behind the McGahee pick and the Bledsoe trade.

    Mel Kiper referred to Dwayne Wright as "The Tom Brady of the 2007 draft." That still cracks me up to this day.

    A friend's facebook post:

     

    For those of you who don't know me (which is most of my friends), one of my jobs used to be writing and performing on "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson." I did it for six years. Rickles was a frequent guest and I loved him and always had since I was a kid. Every time he was on Late Late, I would make it my business to always swing by his dressing room in the hopes that he would insult me. But he never did. He would insult people to the left of me and to the right of me and once he even insulted a ****ing wall socket near me (for realz - he said "What's that little ******** doing peeking out of the wall?") but in six years this man I loved and honored never obliged me the honor of a Rickles insult.

    I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm glad he's ****ing dead.

    Danzig not only rips off riffs, but he makes covers as well:

    And the better version :devil: :

     

     

    I'm pretty sure he ripped off a Judas Priest riff too:

    And the MUCH better one (one of my favorite all time songs):

     

    I never knew about Albert King; thanks for sharing!

     

    That's an awesome Priest song, among many. Love the way Halford uses his voice as an instrument. They used a similar riff in Deceiver from Sad Wings of Destiny, but I think they were all heavily influenced by Children of the Grave.
