I'm subscribed to his YouTube channel. Antonio's pizza reviews. He is from Staten Island initially but does pizza reviews of places in NYC and New Jersey. Occasionally he'll go outside the area. I had to look and he did do one on a pizzeria in Connecticut. It got a big thumbs up from him

In still wonder if Tyrod would be here if not for that Bengals win. Or at least would have started in 2018 is a better way to put it. If the Bengals lose that game the Bills playoff drought would have extended. McDermott still would have had a very respectable rookie season at 9-7. But I’m not sure how that would fly drafting Allen at that point as there would have been more pressure to break the drought. Not be patient with a rookie QB

I hear that. IMO it is more advantageous than ever to field young teams. This is because with the push on analytics young players don’t have much tape on them to scout. Case in point the Cincinnati Reds this year. A very talented and high achieving young team. But I’m still not sure they’ll hold up over 162 games.

Chris Farley or Matt summed up the effect of the Cohen press conference on the team

My favorite performance was his running ability in the 2015 game against the Titans. I know he converted on some 3rd and longs just with his legs. It broke that Titans losing streak as well going back to 2000. That and a game that same year against the Cowboys where he converted on like a 3rd and 8 play with his legs with some pretty nifty movies to keep the drive going and ice that game. The win was meaningless that year but it still felt good to beat the Cowboys. Tyrod was all right for what he was a solid backup/bridge QB.

I agree. Would have liked to hear her point of view more why she loved Billy. I’m guessing she sees beyond the rough exterior? Like with the Wendy balsam story

I think you got his dad confused, was Ben Gazzara. Kind of a cool thing if you didn’t know the scene where he sings that song to Layla it’s actually Vincent’s dad voice Vincent Gallo sr

While I can’t stand this “enlightened era” or a lot of things about it watching the film itself recently I can’t help but think of Laylas perspective. Like why did she like Billy? What’s her back story? The film is just seen through Billy’s eyes Way back in the day I rented it or my dad did for all the Buffalo nods like that. But it’s really not a movie to watch for feel good nostalgia or Buffalo Bills references which you know I’m all about. It’s still a favorite of mine though

It was probably me as well. Lol I thought that's what made the movie great though as it progressed. You see a little more beneath his exterior. Although after watching it a few times Billy's behavior is just straight hilarious to me in the first few minutes. Added as well that was Vincent's childhood home in Williamsville (I believe) where he knocked on the door Love the use of Heart of The Sunrise and Sweetness in it by Yes

In my history I started a thread when the movie was 20 years old 5 years ago. Back then it seemed to get mixed reviews on the site Now it’s 25 years. So out of curiosity I’m gonna see if opinions have changed on it. The Josh Allen era has happened since. I do love the film and it’s probably in my top 10 of all time. Although I’ll admit some of it looks a little dated watching it today. The quote now that stands out to me is Mickey Rourkes character telling Billy if Buffalo ever makes it back to the big game bet against them.

I awaited getting a notification with your thoughts saying how you really feel about the latest debacles. As always you did not disappoint! Enjoy the week as well

From any level of playing. Can be personal or Bills related. I really do love this story below. Tyson Taylor talked about Bob Hurley Sr and playing for him. The day before the state championship game he went off on the seniors claiming they’d be the laughing stock of high school basketball if they never won a state championship at St Anthony’s. I thought it was funny how nervous he felt that speech made the team. And mentioned all being stone faced killers the whole day. But then years later he saw that was all apart of coach Hurleys motivation. He tricked us into being good. It’s cool sometimes years down the line when the lightbulb goes off on what someone was trying to do for you

Thanks for sharing. Im in my late 30s with a diagnosis of autism recently and feel odd never owning or aspiring to own property right now. But it’s something I want to do

Yeah remember a few years ago in the Brodie GM days when we all wanted Girardi as manager and were upset he wasn't picked? And Buck we or at least I thought there was never a chance as he'd laugh and having lineups forced on him by the higher ups. Ironic much now?

@ExWNYer @Gugny @SinceThe70s I watched the highlights this weekend. All I could say is it's like bizarre to me this team is a Buck coached team. The mental image of him I had prior to this year was fundamentally sound baseball were his teams bread and butter. And if you made errors in the field like the team did this weekend he'd sit you down to make an example. I think I recall even Mike Francesa telling stories about him and his time with the Yankees that he drove the team nuts with his micromanaging the smallest of details like shoelaces. Perhaps he's just at a point where he's burnt out giving as much as he did in his life to the game.

I hear you. Which leads me to think Chan Gailey was a genius when it came to just offense.

Holds up even better today. Yacht rock radio plays him quite a bit

Your avatars protege was fond of them

Not really that popular or stuff I participated in summers in New Jersey. My favorite memory came about a story I heard about our old neighbor Tony. He was an old school Italian guy. The township had concerts they put together out of a local car dealership. Like usually the mayor and his entourage would show up. To which Tony went one time to call the mayor a jerk to his face and had to get pulled away from him. I laugh hysterically as I type this. I miss that guy

Karlos Williiams was the truth

Rex Ryan was a good hire EJ Manuel was the right pick at the time The 2012 Bills were going to win at least 10 games CJ Spiller would be the RB of the future

@Gugny. @ExWNYer At least you got to see a win. I went to yesterday's game. First time in about 8 years I made the trek out to Citifield. Drove up to North Jersey and connected via PATH trains. A long story short with my experience some good nostalgia and some sadness of how things aren't what they are. The game itself: I cant say I like Adam Wainwright but that is impressive imo he's almost 42 and stayed with the Cardinals so long. Mark Canha had a brutal day. 0 for 3 with grounding into a double play and missing a foul ball pop up which didn't go as an error. The woman behind me said Canha Can't which was actually kinda funny. Big Dan I think struck out to end the bottom of the 8th. At least 1/2 the crowd cleared out at that point which showed to me fans have no faith that the team will or can come back. Even against the Cardinals. But yeah still cool as a Mets fan to schlep out there every once in a while or every few years.

Absolutely But I do like Shannen Doherty. What's she's going through now is very sad

So true I watched enough of that show to know who the main characters were. Again similar to Kassie DePaiva, Tiffani Thiessen was easily the main draw for me. Her character was supposed to be from Buffalo as well I think lol. I never liked the Kelly Taylor character though
