In honor of the first official day of Summer I wanted to start a thread to pay tribute to how awesome WNY Summers really are! I know most people posting over here no longer live in the area but the majority at least have roots in WNY. What are some of your favorite Summertime memories growing up in the Buffalo area? Favorite traditions and activities?
We might only get 3 true months of Summer but from June to August those 3 months are usually nothing short of amazing....Backyard BBQ's and Bonfires, Outdoor concert series, Patio bars, Neighborhood parties, golfing, hiking, boating, grilling...Nobody does Summertime like the 716! Use this thread to post all things Buffalo Summers
CHEERS! 🍻
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

The good: 6-1 win with 4 of the runs coming off two out hits.
The bad: the game was just over two hours long. The pace felt unnecessarily rushed with the pitch clock.
The ugly: second straight year I went to a Friday DJ night - ugh.
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.

Yes she was. This was a particularly delicious time for Ms. Thiessen. She was lookin' head and shoulders above her Kelly Kapowski days.
I was a Brenda man at first (I have bad taste in women) but once Valerie came along...9021Oh baby.
Absolutely
But I do like Shannen Doherty. What's she's going through now is very sad

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

I know hindsight is 20/20 but Lindor is one of the biggest wastes of money in a long time, IMO. He was hitting .218 entering play today and did nothing again in a 2-1 loss. Even his defense has been subpar the last several games. I am at the point that I wish they had held on to Amed Rosario & Andres Gimenez and used the money elsewhere...either for some power bats or starting pitching. Gimenez is coming into his own and is a helluva lot cheaper than Lindor. You guys may not agree but that is just my two cents.
This is where I can’t stand the multi million dollar deals. I’d say after tonight Lindor should be benched. Send a message as well. The strikeout in the 8th inning was inexcusable. But then there’s a matter of You know you’re paying him so much money to be not playing thing.
But I agree that kind of salary warrants a generational like player not this.
Theres a silver lining at least about Scherzer and Verlander. Aaron Rodgers is age wise right in the middle of the 2. I bet the Jets fans that like the Mets will be more reluctant to be confident in him as a result of Scherzer and Verlander.

I'm thinking even if Diggs does really want out, he's doing nothing to help himself here.
This would be the 2nd team he's pulled this with... I would think teams wouldn't go near him. But then again what do I know

In the 90s I liked the Eagles a lot because their sworn nemesis was the Cowboys. I still recall fondly the 4th and 1 stop of the The Cowboys at their own 29 yard line in 95' at Philly.
But yeah today I guess I'd say the Lions

I could tell you WFAN Sports radio AM 660 in NY/NJ sucks now IMO. Growing up I'd listen to it a bit.
1450 AM was a good station for a while in central NJ but I believed it turned into some Fox News conglomerate for a while now.

I saw the same article and I'm glad that Cohen is not a reactionary hothead like Steinbrenner. That said, seeing is believing. I need some empirical evidence that this organization is truly changing and will be building correctly for the future. We'll see if they foolishly deal some of their better prospects for stop-gap pieces who give the fans some 'hope' but ultimately turn out to be window dressing or if they bite the bullet and try to retool (not rebuild) next year.
One other note: Vientos is playing today but he is not getting enough playing time to be up with the big club. He needs a run of at least a dozen games or so to see if he can show anything. Whether they want to see if he is a building block of the future or whether they want to showcase him as part of a potential deadline deal, sitting him so much will accomplish neither goal. He should either be playing first base while Alonso is out or DHing with Vogelbach's fat ass glued to the bench, lefty/righty match-up be damned. Currently, neither is being done which is the typically inept and shortsighted Met way.
Cohen doesn't have to be Steinbrenner but it would be nice to feel the team has a certain amount of urgency/standards. I wouldn't mind Cohen nagging at the team every now and then.
How I see it is my boss harps on me at least a few times a day to get things done or to follow up with me to ensure things get done. And I make a hell of lot less money than these ball players. Buck saying he's proud of his players dont cut it with me.
I mean yeah maybe it's different behind the scenes but the vibes I get are it is not. I'll still follow the team because I enjoy engaging with you guys here and family and friends and what not but as far as being emotionally invested in this team. Hell no

The only soap opera I watched growing up was called WWF
Well sometimes those 30 by 30 sports shows they tend to over dramatize it a little 😅

What I’m surprised at though is Buck. Before this year he always very much gave me the impression he is a tough man you do not want to mess with. But the other night in his press conference he said we a bit when referring to the line ups put out.
Me kind of thinks he only has a certain amount of say on the on field product

Every damn day of late feels like I walk into a soap opera where I work. And well imo the whole “Josh Britt” stuff has a soap opera feel to it.
I never really followed soap operas but I will admit to really liking Kassie De Paiva a lot. A former soap actress. Very beautiful and good actress. Funny personality in real life interviews as well. Had leukemia but seems to be doing OK.

The Goo Goo Dolls. Beyond overrated.
I prefer to think of Rick James as our contribution to the world of music.
When I went to the Buffalo history museum I was disappointed there was no mention of Slick Rick

Buffalo Style Pizza like LaNova sucks...proly the worst style of pizza there is
When I went to Buffalo a few years ago I had to try it.
I didn’t think it was bad per say but average NJ pizza I thought was a lot better

I think table jumping is stupidity.
I agree.
I thought it was kind of funny and cute to an extent during the drought. Like our team is lousy but we still know how to have fun.
But nowadays now and most Bills mafia antics strike me as stupid
-
I’ll admit I definitely would get a little skeptical of someone’s character if they like the Chiefs now per say. I might question how loyal the person is.
But yeah that sounds silly to not hire someone just because they like the Dolphins. Assuming they are a good fit otherwise

I’m from New Jersey and never got into Springsteen, Bon Jovi, the Sopranos, and the shore to some extent. Heck I root against Rutgers football more often than not…. Stuff considered very NJ by many.
Are there things considered very Buffalo you don’t care for? I guess if you use this site the Bills aren’t one of them. But I never seek out eating wings. The Goo Goo Dolls I tried but couldn’t get into their music

Just had an interesting observation this morning. I would say the National Donut Day thing has become pretty big in WNY. Probably being pushed by people's love for Paula's Donuts. I stopped by a local one this morning to bring some in for co-workers and people were lined up outside before they even opened up waiting to buy Donuts. Then I was talking to a co-worker of mine in New Jersey this morning on Zoom and she had no idea it was even a holiday...which got me thinking is this another one of those Western New York things? Actually celebrating National Donut Day? Does anywhere else do this?
I’m not sure they recognize it but one of my fave old school places/shops in the world

I like there’s not as much hype around the team this offseason which is a big plus imo. That and well anything can happen but I thought these 3 events really drained/ burned out the team over the long haul: The Topps shooting, the 7 foot snowstorm, and then Hamlin. I don’t think we’ll see anything like that this year
On the negative side the team gives off the impression they need harder coaching than presently. The whole Josh & Diggs relationship I feel can explode at any minute when they start practicing again

I don't wear another man's jersey. Not that there's anything wrong with it, I just don't.
😏
As an adult man I don’t either.
I outgrew all the basketball jerseys I had by the time I reached high school. I still kept them around a few years afterwards as a collector item. But it just all became a distant memory now only reopened in my now looking for nostalgia 😊

I was going to write what NBA jerseys did you used to own but some posters here might still own some.
When I was a kid especially in middle school (mid 90s) NBA Champion replica jerseys were like the in clothing item for boys. Kind of ironic as a Knicks fan in the 90s when I think back to the players jerseys I had:
Bobby Hurley Kings #7 jersey- NJ kid, I liked his game, I didnt dislike Duke like I do now
Michael Jordan- the #45 jersey. I was told one day the year he had that odd number one day owning that jersey would be like worth mega $$$
Nick Van Exel Lakers jersey- I went through a period very fascinated by the Showtime Lakers and the Great Western Forum. Owning that jersey seemed at the time the next best thing. Plus he was quick. Nick the quick.
Thats the only people I can remember. Funny though I never had one for anyone on the Knicks
