Cheektowaga Sabres. 🤔 Sabreland in Wheatfield still standing? Pardon the picture, at least it isn't a video. 🤨

Later in his Buffalo tenure, and last year for the Giants, Daboll reminded me of Chief Lutz from 'Beverly Hills Cop 2'. 🤨

Years ago, 'Waldo' was a fellow who worked in the sheet metal department, and was often a participant at the afternoon break euchre game. The only thing was he would hem and haw about ordering up his partner's hand, to the extent everyone knew he didn't have the stones to order. That boy never would have lasted in the Canadian version of the game. P.T. was a veteran Lancaster Moose player, and if you didn't immediately pass or order, you were deemed as cross boarding. * Pinochle is a game that seems to demand that players pay attention. Euchre is a game that is loose enough that quite often by the third trick, someone is asking "what's trump, again?!"

https://euchre.com/blog/euchre-variations/ Most every Great Lakes sailor and UK emigres know how to calculate cribbage scores with incredible speed. A Scotsman electrician I worked with would glance at his hand, and proclaim "41". When challenged, he would say, "Oh, correct, I miscounted. 36." This is why you use this board:

Bicycle Cards years ago marketed a Euchre pack that included rules on all the many variations, and also included 'counter cards' that assist in keeping score. Any die hard euchre player knows how to keep score with just a two and a three card. An electrician I knew from up Peterborough way said there they favoured six hand (two teams of three). He also said that his grandparents could generally infer what each player held after the first trick (in four handed).

Started off years ago playing the upstate NY version (if dealer's partner orders up, dealer can play along). When moving to the Canadian side for employment, discovered that ordering the partner up means you're going alone. Euchre remains a very popular game in Canada. I enjoy what I call 'Pennsylvania Dutch', which adds the sevens and eights and one joker. Joker is highest, and the sevens and eights often stymie lone hands. In this 33 card version, dealer cannot look at the hand dealt to themself until after the trump card is turned up. If joker is turned up, dealer names trump before looking at their hand.

Jeebus, we got your drift the first time you said it. 🤨

And we may ask ourselves "Well...how did we get here?"

'Fragile' Frankie Merman grade?! Sammy Watkins grade?!

Has anyone heard from Saxum (aka Limeaid) recently? Usually a regular contributor, I see he hasn't been here since late November. I seem to recall he was having health issues (minor stroke?); I hope he's well.

Guddam Jests stealing our 'Smiley fired' thunder. 🤬 * Anyone else the Bills can 'part ways' with? 🤔

For all the foul ups, bleeps, and blunders by ST the last few years, you might as well hire Danny Elfman. At least the soundtrack would be appropriate. 🤨

'Met with the Jets'... 🤔 Did 'the Jets' include Woody?

He can do that, too?! Bring him in!

Words can hurt. Avatars can hurt more.

Kupp, Deebo...they'll be calling the WR corps (corpse?) the 'Over the Hill Gang'. * Bulldog on WGR will be ecstatic.

SCREW MYLES GARRETT and his 54 pages! We need a #1 WR! (I read it here!) 😁

My father was known as 'Bumpa' to all four of his grandchildren. My three grandchildren who live close by have carried on that name for me, but my three grandchildren who live about 6 hours away deem me 'Grandpa'. I am eternally grateful to FaceTime for allowing me ready access to that branch of the family.

"I might buy ten of those for a dollar!"

Whenever I see one of your posts, I invariably think of Eeyore from the Disney adaptation of Winnie the Pooh, or the ever sunny Duke of Doubt, from Burger King's advertising.

And something besides frying pans for hands...

'Maybe we should copy the Seahawks old approach?' Like replacing the red in the Buffalo uniforms with a really bad day-glow pink? That third Seattle uniform looks like they're refugees from a construction site.

All you wusses should have kept up the pressure on Bills management in the DeAndre Hopkins thread, a couple of years back. 🤨😁

'OL assistants' is actually code for HR Specialist. The corporate role needed when the boss is an a**hole. Horsehockey! I am getting on the NY Jets bandwagon / pain train now. 😁🙄

Did you mean 'autopsy', or really did mean 'autospy'? 🤔
