  1. These days, you can “identify” as whatever you want. Raising such a banner at the new stadium would make the Bills a laughingstock for a VERY long time. No way to overcome a gaffe like that.
  2. Marv Levy’s coaching style pissed me off. “Treat these men like men” does not work when these men behave like frat boys. Certain party boy players were rumored to have been out very late the night before the big game. Coaching is people management and it was not handled very well. Meanwhile, on the field, their inability to stop the run made winning nearly impossible.
  3. Rest In Peace, Ryan. That’s very sad to lose someone so young. I have always found the oceans, including the Gulf of Mexico, to be a frightening environment. I remember walking out in the water, barely up to my knees, and feeling the currents pulling me out further. It was strong enough to knock down an able adult. Scary.
  4. With Buffalo at #2 in slide rule sales, I thought maybe some university programs required them. Perhaps as one of those soft skills you might need someday. I still have one kicking around - with the handy holster you wear on your belt.
  5. Does anyone know if Engineering students still use slide rules?
  6. Back in the 60s, my brother and I listened to AM radio, picked up stations far away. We wrote down 10-15 minutes of their content and mailed it to them. the station would send us back a QSL card, a postcard with their logo. From our AM table radio in Kenmore, we picked up stations from New Orleans, Chicago, Boston, etc. We even got one from Bonaire, off the coast of Venezuela. They were probably pumping 100,000 watts. US stations were limited to 50K. We collected about 40 cards from all over the US, east of the Mississippi mostly. It was a fun hobby. Of course, stations were staffed with human beings back then.
  7. It is also the birthday of the US Army. So Happy Birthday to all of our Army folks out there.
  8. I wish I knew the timing of the big change.
  9. Somewhere in all the Christian Wade analysis way back when, it was revealed that he needed to have all of his blockers behind him. They could not be in front of him, according to rugby rules. That makes for a very difficult transition from rugby to football, at least for an offense player.
  10. Not many 3 pointers were attempted. One attempt ended in an INT, but couldn’t run it back all the way. I don’t know if the defense would have earned 3 points for a “pick 3”
  11. I didn’t mean “snob” in a bad way, just to differentiate the levels of football. I have a shortage of free time, too, and often don’t watch the games until Tuesday or Wednesday.
  12. Some folks are snobs about football. No offense intended, but once they see the best, they don’t enjoy the lower tiers. I enjoy the CFL, XFL, USFL, college ball, whatever. I even watch some televised high school ball. Different strokes for different folks.
  13. This should be one sided contest, unfortunately. DC is very good with a 9-1 regular season record. Arlington is 4-6 from the weak South division. It was a fun season in any case. I enjoyed it.
  14. “A Mammoth House of Cards”: Can We Trust Tether? Just some food for thought if Tether is your crypto of choice.
  15. I was really impressed with his play in the Dolphins game last year. I hope the Bills give him opportunities on offense.
  16. This is a great insightful article. I hope the HC and front office people read it. Thank you for posting it.
  17. Do you have a timeframe for your “leaving for good”?
  18. Josh Allen and Michigan RB Blake Corum
  19. I'm no expert either. I have been buying and trading XRP and XLM for 2 1/2 years. Are you trading XLM for other tokens, such as in Lobstr or Scopuly apps? There are some huge opportunities if you know which ones to trade for. Stellar Network is the future. It will be the new stock market. Putting your money into Stellar (XLM) is a wise move.
  20. Right. A little research goes a long way: Mike McDaniel - His dad is black, while Donna, his mom, is white. Robert Saleh is of Lebanese descent. Upon his hiring by the Jets, he became the first Muslim head coach in NFL history.
  21. What are those rules? I don’t know their ethnic background. Is McDaniel Irish-American or something else? Saleh may be Lebanese, perhaps? It just seems kind of random, like the compensatory pick rules.
  22. Maybe I missed the memo, but do Robert Saleh and Mike McDaniel qualify as minorities? Not many nerd HCs but is that a minority now?
  23. The flip side of the 45 was the same song, but played backwards. "and I'll be happy to see those nice young men, in their clean white coats, and they're coming to take me away, ha ha!"
  24. "The beans were delicious, I've heard the reports." (from my dear father)
  25. If you have invested in Ethereum, you may want to read these articles. Ethereum staking ban? SEC overshadows shanghai hard fork With the SEC going after Staking, the Ethereum Shanghai Hard Fork Upgrade (due on March 20) might not be good news as originally hoped. If the Seven Siblings is activated on Ethereum, this major sell off will crash the price badly. If you want a good alternative to ETH, Stellar Lumens (XLM) would be a wise choice, even though some posters like to give me grief about it. Why Stellar Lumens? Stellar Lumens joins CFTC global market advisory committee
