Another Fan

I always loved his Touchdown Buffalo calls. They seemed genuinely enthusiastic

Cleveland does a little. Friendly people overall and near a Great Lake. The other non obvious place for me is Plainfield, NJ. It has some good wing places around the city. Plus in NJ it’s one of the best cities for value for your money in terms of small restaurants imo. Buffalo always had real good food and I think is still underrated there in general. That and the Sleepy Hollow part of the city. There’s older bigger homes there with huge trees. It reminds me a little of the part of Buffalo by the Darwin Martin house. And ironically it’s nicknamed the Queen City as well.

The truth hurts

No. But I only collect merchandise in general of people I'm a fan of. Sports or entertainment wise that is.

I thought he looked safe at first but slowing it down I'm not 100% sure Pete's hand after touched home plate. Maybe because they had a nice come from behind win today I'm not as upset about it. Lindor had a nice day.

I know as a kid growing up that magazine along with Playboy TV seemed the ultimate in risque adult stuff growing up. Little did I know though that that was just the tip of the iceberg then. Lol I have a couple magazines I hold as collector items/nostalgia kind of thing. It usually involved me being a fan or liking whomever was on the cover. I have the physical copies of the issues where Geri Halliwell, Cindy Crawford, and Lisa Rinna (pre-housewives) were on the cover. I still have the Maxim and Blender magazines Christina Aguilera was on the cover in the early 2000s. Funny story if anything this thread is making me think of my late Uncle (R.I.P). He lead a pretty minimalist lifestyle in general. When my aunt and uncle went to his apartment to clean it out well it seemed he had years and years subscriptions to Playboy magazine. Apparently he had hundreds of them in his apartment.

Yeah when no hitters threat today deep into the games with teams we like (in this case the Mets) via texts with friends/families and or other notifications we get through or phones or what not it's really not that hard to miss. Not a case of you need to be glued to the TV to catch stuff like that. One of my first Mets memories as a kid was watching this game in my grandmother's bedroom while she was babysitting me. https://sabr.org/gamesproj/game/september-10-1991-rookie-pete-schoureks-1-hitter-leads-mets-past-expos/ Even as a little kid that felt kind of intense in the 5th inning watching that as I knew he didn't give up a hit yet and for him to keep that one hitter going. As you like to say, good times!

I hear ya. But I mean the dude goes 8 innings and only gives up one hit and one run. I mean what's like the actual odds of that the starter not getting a W?

@SinceThe70s @Gugny @ExWNYer Condolences anyone who caught most of the game tonight. I just checked out the brief highlights and scores. While I'm not the type of Mets fan to get upset over April games..... tonight would have pissed me off if I watched. Severino pitched his heart out carrying the no hitter into the 8th and the team couldn't even win the game for him.

I like a lot old school Vanessa Williams songs. This one is okay. But she seems to have found the fountain of youth. I'll say that. I know she sung the Star Spangled Banner at a Bills game before. I'm not sure she's a Bills fan but she has Buffalo ties and seems proud of them.

I do it sometimes as well but it always feels a little awkward to me when somebody asks how’s mom not how’s your mom when addressing someone about their mother.

Wonder Years and Family Matters I guess

I couldn't help myself. Even watching that at time that was my 1st thought. I could have completed that pass 😄

It's not a stretch of imagination that most posters on this site could complete Mahomes 1st pass during 13 seconds.

Feelings aside it lost all credibility to me when A Rod is reporting on this

Two Bills Drive

@SinceThe70s@Gugny. @ExWNYer Was out and about today but saw the Mets had a nice win. The Mets team that comes to mind a little with this year is 2005 for me. I saw they started that year 0-4 as well. Willie, Pedro, and Beltran's first year with the team. I remember that year arguably being a success and led to the foundation for 2006. Realistically that's what I hope for this year's club. But I mean they've bee showing some grit of late. Perhaps this is an unpopular opinion but the whole retiring Doc's number doesn't really do much for me. And I'm person that loves nostalgia. I guess to be fair I only recall Doc like a little as a Met and it was toward the end of his career in the early 90s. I think then his issues were spilling out on the field. I remember him more as a Yankee. And that's the team I think he retired with. Mets Hall of Fame for sure was deserved for Doc. But I mean I can't help but think what more could have been with Doc. I know we are all flawed creatures but just not really feeling checking out the ceremony. Not actually as a Met but Rick Aguilera had at least if not a better career than Doc. And he was the 5th starter on a lot of those clubs.

I remember this song. It's funny I didn't realize or remember there was a more explicit version

I mean I’m not one to speak of ill of the recent departed but I mean he did indirectly introduce us to the Kardashian family.

Even putting my dislike of this game aside Brazil is more a soccer crazed nation. I can’t ever see American football becoming big there. Gisele Bundchen I think will forever be number 1 tie to the NFL in Brazil

Nah, I told you since the beginning I'd be very shocked anyone but UConn. Dan Hurley wasn't letting that happen. I can only imagine the speech he gave to his players before the game yesterday. I know how intense he is like his dad. This was his pops years back the night before the state championship game where his senior class at St. Anthony's might become the only players not to win a state championship under his reign. NSFW I say employ him to talk to the Bills before they play the Chiefs in the playoffs again!!

The Sabres remind me a little of the Jauron Bills that were 7-9 every year. They weren’t good teams at all but not awful awful. They did enough for the fans to still have some hope. I’m hardly an expert on Buffalo hockey but seems the team needs an aggressive off season.

Yep 😊
