    At 83, if anybody catches it you get points in my book.

     

    Make it happen FAST so you don’t get vaporized. 

     

    You HAD to go there???   

     

    😂

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

    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.

    Here’s hoping that Hell actually exists. He’ll have plenty of lawyer friends to cook with. 

    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.

    I was thinking of that same UNLV team the other day.
     

    UConn winning it all is not a given. I actually think Purdue or NC State could match up well with them, if either of them make it.

    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!!

  5. 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.

    I mean, good call on starting this with Sagat.  I think he's absolute garbage, but I appreciate your fond memories- nobody can take those from you. 
     

    I'm basically not very good at cheese- I identify cheese, and it's pretty well locked out for good, but there are exceptions, and the Enchanted Water Show at Enchanted Forest (somewhere around Salem, Oregon) is one of them.  
     

    To place the scene, you walk into the most budget-friendly food option of Oregon's finest amusement park.  The park is based on non-copyrighted fairytales- think, Old Mother Hubbard and Humpty Dumpty.  Beyond some crazy ish, it's got a very respectable log-ride, tiny but fun coaster and a bad-ass haunted house.
     

    Everything about it is terrible... except, it's not- it's kinda fun having to crawl though the various nursery rhymes...

     

    Without a doubt, though, the worst attraction in the park has got to be the Enchanted Water Show... except it's my favorite thing there.  )
     

    So you walk into the cheapest place to eat in the park and get your mediocre burger, served by very sweet pimply folks, and sit down for the entertainment- with your packets of French's mustard in hand. 

     

    I've only been here as an adult, but I'm just somewhere between blown-away, and in love

     

     

     

    This post reminds me of this amusement park my parents took me to as a kid, The Land of Make Believe.  It seemed real big and exciting when I was little.

     

    Then one day working years back an older woman there talked about going there a lot with her kids.  She seemed to like it but think it was kind of a cheesy cheap place.

     

    Yeah this commercial brings back memories below as does seeing YouTube videos of it not that long ago.  It yeah definitely felt a lot bigger as a kid!

     

    All in all it can be seen as a cheesy place but I still think fondly of it.

    I was in high school then but I kind of realized at that age no matter how much good history someone has with a team it's What Have or What Can You Do For Me Lately.  I don't get emotionally attached.

     

    That being said actually T.O leaving made me a little sad after just a year.  I thought for the most part he behaved well and looked proud to be a Bill.

    I remember that game well. Not fondly, but well. 

     

    We were in Boston on a work/pleasure trip and we met an old friend for lunch downtown at Ye Old Union Oyster House (est. 1826).  I had a fried clam sandwich, and it seems the clams had been hanging around since the grand opening. A few hours later I had a rumbling in my tummy, but my wife’s co-worker was going to treat us to his favorite restaurant in Boston, on the bank, so I kept going. 

     

    It was in a beautiful old white house away from the city. I remember going in and ordering ginger ale. It’s all I could handle, and just barely. I remember laying on the floor in the bathroom, and that is never good. I wanted them to enjoy the evening, so the maitre de got a taxi to get me back to the hotel. The driver realized how sick I was and tried to drop me off at a different hotel, ANY hotel, to get me out of his car before something terrible happened. 🤢 🤮 or worse

     

    I refused to get out, he got me to my hotel, and I listened to that basketball game from the cool tile of the bathroom floor of my hotel room. What a night! 

     

    Good times! 😂 

    That memory of that game gave you some gut reactions for sure! 

  9. Id be very surprised if anyone but UConn wins.  
     

    I know there’s always the possibility of upsets but Dan Hurley probably has it still fresh in his mind his brother’s Duke team beating UNLV back in 1991.  I think that was one of the biggest upsets then for it’s time?   Anyway Dan just strikes me as that kinda guy.  
     

    UConn ain’t letting up.

    I watched yesterday's highlights.  On a positive note since the Mets always had a real good opening day record maybe that's good superstition they lost.  lol

     

     

    I never cared for Hoskins but it did seem like that was a good clean aggressive play IMO.  Or has baseball evolved where it's not good etiquette anymore to spike someone?

     

     

    This came in my Youtube feeds.  Kind of cute

     

     

     

  11. The one where Al gets invited back to a dance at Polk High to talk to the kids.  Just hilarious

     

     

     

    Also, later in the episode Bud's date (Tiffani Thiessen) plays a prank on him making Bud chase his shorts so to speak.   The Bundy's always dished it out to each other but very cool for Kelly to stand up for her brother.

    As the season is winding down and no playoffs in sight for Year 13 I am just reflecting a bit on this season and wondering if this will go down as the most disappointing season in Buffalo sports history?  Reminds me a little bit of the failed expectations of the Drew Bledsoe/Takeo Spikes years but at that point the Bills drought was just in the beginning stages so the frustration wasn't as pent up as it is right now with the Sab's 

    2012 Buffalo Bills for me.  Which I think might have ironically been year 13 of that drought.  

     

    I wasn't yet posting on Buffalo Bills forums in 2012.  But when I joined this site and even now sometimes I get surprised at how I seem one of the few Bills fans to consistently remember how awful that 6-10 year felt.   Which maybe a 6-10 record in the NFL is equivalent to what the Sabres record is this year? 

     

     

    But yeah I definitely feel what you're saying though.
