cool article

Cinci though is the 3rd biggest in Ohio. Plenty other cities bigger than Plainfield in Jersey

Went I went Cincinnati for the 1st time I became aware the city is nicknamed the Queen City. So similar to Buffalo in that regard. I'm not sure the history of the reasoning but there you have it. Playoff battle of the Queen cities. Kind of makes wonder how common that nickname is for cities. Near where I used to live and where I drove through work everyday for a while..... Plainfield, New Jersey has that nickname as well. And the city has a Bills tie in.... Donald Jones is from there and went to high school there. I think he actually still lives there. I'm sure I can google this or whatever but thought this might be an interesting thread.

Peyton's biggest weakness as a player actually imo was he didnt fare well with adjustments. I think he may very well have been the most detail oriented QB in the history of the league so as to avoid dealing with adjustments. I thought I recall a story the dude had like a good amount of his home set up to study game film. Case in point that one superbowl against the Seahawks in New Jersey. The first play of the game was a safety against the Broncos. And after that that day he was shot. Forget it. It was over at that point and he couldn't adjust. So I totally respect the dudes accomplishments but this sounds like a case he's projecting

Yeah I still remember the last Bills home game in 2011 was against Denver. Like at the height of Tebow mania. Tim played awful and the Bills won like 41-17 or something along those lines. Which was kind of a surprise at the time. But anyway many Tebow Sucks chants were heard in the crowd. There were some fans on the old BBMB that thought that was way out of line being him such a devout young man. But yeah I think the conclusion was more they were mocking what they thought was the overhyped product on the field. Nothing to do with his faith. Good times

2020 or even last year this question would have made more sense. Not that I watch Super Bowl coverage but the only thing I can say a little to defend the OP is it would get real real annoying fast the national media clamoring over how many wins Brady has in his career against Buffalo.

Well you lived up to your username then 😅 To be honest I don't know what you said but this shows underneath the type of person you are.... a good one Words are words

Not sure. I read the Mets were actually frustrated with Carlos. Like take a dump or get off the pot. So what would become of Lindor in the field if they do sign him?

Guy really knew how to draw genuine heat from people as well. I loved as well he worked as a busboy when he was still famous and lived rather modestly

It goes against me being a Mets fan to enjoy this one as much as I do. But it's one of the last teams imo before sports seemed to get more heavily corporate/analytic influenced/no players with any personality.

Even me a big fan didn’t realize that “rivalry” went on for years. I thought when he came out of the mummy’s uniform was absolutely hilarious. Actually this whole clip/documentary is gold

I’m not sure He seemed to get more popular after he died. One of the big things Man On The Moon got wrong was the timing of the Carnegie Hall Concert where he took the crowd out for milk and cookies. At that stage in his career he couldn’t have booked Carnegie Hall. Taxi was cancelled, a movie Heartbeeps he made bombed, he was voted off SNL, and a broadway play about wrestling he was involved with closed after only a few showings. So yeah at that point people were just tired of him. Nonetheless he is an inspiration to me to keep pushing

Bill Zehme wrote a bio on him which I read when I was younger and bought and started to re read recently. Despite him being before my time, I loved the guy. Latka, Elvis impersonations before they became more famous, the wrestling, and his performances were all a hoot imo. Was inspiring to me as well transcendental meditation brought him out of shyness and anxiety. Anyone else like? Or he just wasn’t your cup of tea at all

Could be. there’s reasons why Livs mom wanted her daughter to have nothing to do with him https://news.amomama.com/268193-todd-rundgren-was-liv-tylers-only-father.html

My closest friend from elementary school? No I think it was in the 2nd grade we were I the same class where we met. Enough to talk on the phone, shoot hoops, play one on one, trade sports cards, and watch TV shows. Pretty much all the standard stuff boys do at the age before they discover the opposite sex. Though I was never a video gamer. When it was time to go to middle school he and his mother felt pretty strongly a local Catholic school here would provide a better education that the local public middle school. As it turns out we both go to Catholic school for 6th grade and we both wind up hating it. Except at the start of the 7th grade year he and his family moved. Seeing me hate that school as much as I do (it was mainly kids there at the time) my parents let me switch to another school. We talked a little more that year but that was like it. Never heard from him again. Last I searched his name some years ago he was an attorney. Moral of the story to me is not to be joined at the hip with a person and to make up your own mind. I'm actually glad to have learned that message at that age versus now.

Smart aleck 😏

An appropriate song for many especially with the backdrop of this video

At my office later in the week we do the usual grab bag gifts with the staff. Except we are able to steal the gifts up to three times if somebody winds up with something they don't want. In my family my uncle usually puts together Christmas themed games to try and make things more festive. Like for example write down everything you can think of related to Christmas in 5 minutes... the winner gets a prize. If you are forced to participate in these, do you: A) Find yourself very competitive B) Care a little but don't get stressed over it C) Absolutely just flat out could care less or detest it with every fiber of your being and cant wait to be done I kind of start out close to choice C but I do manage to have some fun with it as it goes along. But don't get worked up. Some of my co-workers/family members really do!

I agree. Also add to the fact the Colts fired Reich a few weeks before. Not gonna lie I thought the whole thing was annoying. Plus as well there were no 2 point conversations in 1992. Just hearing about that actually gave me bad vibes the Bills would lose last night.

Well in Yellowstone Park there this sign is common. Another connection in ref to Wyo-Buffalo 😄

My Dad and I drove the 8 hours from where we live to Buffalo twice. Made a long weekend out of it besides the game. It’s an underrated city we both like for things besides Niagara Falls. But I’m sure 8 hours pales in comparison to many fans on the site. I’m partially inspired to start the thread by that one fan who said they travel from Hawaii to see the Bills

I hadn’t been there in over 10 years but Donavans Pub in Woodside, Queens. Was once recognized as best burger in NYC. Not sure is still is

Well especially this time of year? While not a perfect performance yesterdays game reminded me a little of watching early 90s home games as a kid. I’d have to look it up but I thought the team was 8-0 at home most of the Super Bowl years. Opponents have to face the cold and possibly rainy weather without sunlight like yesterday, the loud fanbase, and a real nasty defense. Btw I thought all the hits on White were clean. While still knowing they’ll have to play their A game to have a chance to win. Even from a non homer perspective now I wouldn’t want any part of playing in Buffalo as an opponent. While my thread was based off nostalgia for watching childhood games…. it shows as well though how important having the number 1 seed would be

Most these pitchers mentioned and players I don't either. Outside of the Mets there's only a few teams I know a little about. My reaction is actually sort of like when the Bills drafted Josh: Time will tell if this is the right move or not. Now the Bills brass really did their due diligence scouting Josh because that was the right move (or they got really lucky). So all I could hope for is the Mets due their due diligence as well. Certainly beyond what these guys stats are and think they are they the right fight for the club. Especially come September/October. Because the Scherzer outing against the Padres still boils my blood and feel he should be docked some of his pay.
