I personally don't think Colton was a ****ty one as u think but hey, hopefully this kid is good cuz he should be getting a few kicks in each game...
You're reading it wrong, I was just talking in general. If I Were to grade Colton I'd give him middle of the road. Who knows, maybe we have the next Ray Guy now. What really is the "kicker" is how we found/signed him... that's some covert stuff right there lol.

I just took a look at Duffs menu (Dick Rd. location, last one I was at). I always liked their wings, never a problem really. But... $10.29 for a 6oz cheeseburger with a bag of chips? Holy !@#$.

After puking my guts out on genny cream ale in the 70's I can't even stand the smell of it... or ford mavericks for that matter.
I wouldn't steam crabs with some of the beers mentioned.

You could use it to catch food thieves! My mother had her lunch stolen enough in high school that she made ex-lax brownies. A certain group of people didn't make it through history class.
Canned cat food sandwiches and one of your Moms brownies for the win.

I actually did this for a work Christmas party at my house one year. Not familiar with Millers horseradish, but had some good stuff! (Inglehoffer is what’s currently in the fridge, and it’s pretty good.) Had 2-3 dozen people and enjoyed telling my boss “if your eyes and nose aren’t running, you’re not doing it right.” Went over pretty well!
If you want a pro at sliders, @Seasons1992 is your guy!
That one is really good too but not the same as the Millers. I have it in the fridge too... and yeah it'll make you cry, out of sheer joy of eating a sandwich. I use the ingles on sandwiches I would make for work that in no way resemble a beef on weck.

This is the one to look for, not in the condiment aisle... just ask anyone who works there, good stuff:

It's hard to get the rolls to be the same. The water in the dough really matters and water isn't the same from place to place. If you don't think it matters I don't know what to tell you, baking is chemistry and the stuff dissolved in the water matters. The water in Florida isn't the same as the water in Philly. There's a reason, for example, that they make bourbon in Kentucky. It's the mineral content (or lack of iron specifically) in the water
I can get Wegmans to make a kimmelweck roll for me here in Philly, it's not the same. It's close, but it's not the same. You can get a hoagie roll anywhere, but they aren't exactly the same.
I can make a decent wing myself and Marie's is indeed good blue cheese but you don't get that everywhere.
I take this sort of approach with all regional specialties. Sure you can get them other places. Sometimes they are even pretty good, but they aren't quite the same when you take them out of their native area. You would think it'd be pretty easy to make a cheesesteak. If that is the case why do so many people screw them up? I've seen all sorts of abominations labeled as Philly cheesesteaks. The roll is really important. The cut of meat is really important. The way you slice the meat to make it super thin matters. The way you season the meat matters. Hell, the type of cheese you use matters and there's not even agreement on that in Philly.
FWIW, the beef on weck you described is exactly what I'm talking about. It's a facsimile. Sure I can go get some Boar's Head roast beef and dunk it in broth. Having a beef on weck made with lunchmeat isn't remotely the same thing as having a fresh carved sandwich from a properly cooked roast. It's good enough in a pinch but it's not a replacement for the real thing.
Gotcha... I don't need perfection, just what tastes good. How do you feel about Wawa coffee? I love the stuff.

Publix will make a nice roll for you. Have to be careful as the salt will dissolve if the roll sits in the plastic bag, for some reason. And Marie’s does have terrific blue cheese for your wings. You can almost replicate the perfect beef on weck, but I’ve never come close to the best, freshly carved stuff. Still, I’ve also had some LOUSY beef on weck in WNY, too.
.
Have you ever used boars head rare roast beef sliced thin? Or, Millers horseradish? ... you should be able to get both I would think if you have a Publix. The horseradish is over by the prepackaged cold cuts/sausage/ hot dog section. Plain white label with red wording.
A light warming in beef broth with whatever you want to add... for the beef... and it is pretty right on. I like enough horseradish to where I could be eating a pigs !@#$ and it would taste... tasty.

I've had wings all over the place, some are decent, some are downright terrible. I haven't had any that replicate what you consistently get in wny.
Regional foods are like that, you can get a facsimile but it's not the same. For example, don't order a cheesesteak if you aren't in Philly. It's not the same. It's the little details that make the difference and those are the things that get lost in translation. I can get a beef on weck near here, it's enough to hold me over but in no way is it anything resembling good compared to even a mediocre one in Buffalo. The meat is always overdone a little, the rolls are never quite right, the horseradish isn't as fresh. Little details that add up to a big difference. Wings are the same way, oil temperature, how much other stuff was fried in the oil, wing size, sauce flavor, sauce consistency, method of saucing, proper blue cheese, how they are plated, how fast do they come out of the kitchen, do they separate the drum and the flat? Do they cut the nub off the flat? Did they put the wings in the oil frozen, thawed, or fresh? All these things matter to the end product. The more people involved in the process who don't know how to do it right, or think they have a better way, or are hell bent on cutting corners the worse product you get. Hence the decent wings not from buffalo are invariably connected to a place that is owned by someone from Buffalo who is passionate about getting as many of the little things correct as possible.
Beef on Weck isn't brain salad surgery... Publix will make you fresh kimmelweck rolls a day in advance if you ask, Millers Horseradish will blow your head off... also readily available. Boars Head roast beef in a little beef broth on warm... There you go.
Wings do vary... I make the best around here, but the bbb around the corner has been trained to make excellent ones too so there is that. Marie's is the bomb for bleu cheese... extra chunky but the regular one is just fine.
You strike me as someone who dusts the keyboard off after every post...
Philly cheesesteaks are pretty much on the level as a beef on weck, again... not rocket science... just hyped.

I first heard them in my cousins room in East Amherst in 1973-4 on the King Biscuit Flower Hour... had me hooked ever since. Her and Michelle Phillips are my rock goddesses lol. I know they toured last year... from what I know Annie is a breast cancer survivor. This is from 2011:

used to have all the Apple 45s for the group and solo efforts up through 1976
friend had The Pope Smokes Dope Album, another Apple classic
I never got into 45's... the only way I ever picked any of them up was in a collection kind of scenario. However, back in the late 90's I went to a yard sale and picked up one of those booklets of 45's for $5 bucks. Basically a random mix of 60's pop hits but where the last page met the back cover there was a "She's So Sweet" picture sleeve... very good condition with little ring wear but the previous owner had written her name neatly on it in ink pen. Had she not written her name on it I would have called it excellent. The 45 was not there.
Listed it on ebay, which was pretty new at the time... without a pic... and sold it for $450. Probably my biggest find and sell ever, online or otherwise. Picture sleeves in general are worth at least 3/4 more of what the 45 goes for I have found. Haven't been in that area of resell in probably 15 years though.

1968... today was the release of the 45s Hey Jude/Revolution and Those Were the Days (Mary Hopkins) on Apple
good choices... both hitting at worst #2 in the US and UK for the next few months
I "don't think" I have that one anymore but It is possible... for sure still have the first JT on Apple though.

I hadn't thought of these guys in awhile but I was reading an article yesterday that mentioned them.

I had a cassette tape with about 2 hours of APP.
Montrose
2 hour cassettes... thin tape and and sound. I liked the 90 min ones, still have a few.
Montrose. Not a band we hear about much anymore, good choice.

Alan Parsons or any variation of him (engineer of DSOTM) has hit virtually every kind of modern day music except for cuntry... prog, pop, classical, rock, new wave, psych, ... and probably inspired a **** ton of bands who play today.

Wow. Musicians sitting around playing music in a very musical way.
How refreshing!
It's hard to find this now, and it's all because of MTV.
There are still great musicians out there, but you have to dig around to find them.
It really is... Oldfield was just 19 when he composed this. Wonder if he's still around, I haven't looked. Mahavishnu Orchestra or Return to Forever would be other good ones if someone is looking for pure musicians... or even ELP or Yes if you want something with words.

Either The Cars or Wall of Voodoo.
I was thinking Wall of Voodoo but had to go with the Tubes... WOV would be second here.
-
Echo and the Bunnymen opened for Peter Gabriel at Kleinhans back in 1978... last concert I saw before I went into the army. So I've seen them and the B'52's a few times, last time was at the now defunct Tampa Jai Alai... always had a good time at their shows.
I voted other... I'll roll with The Tubes. Those first 4 albums plus the double live one are excellent... being produced by Ken Scott, Al Kooper, and Todd Rundgren can't hurt either.

Proto-Industrial? Rammstein 15 years before Rammstein?
Never heard of this group so I listened to the video. To be honest It didn't do anything for me... just different tastes in music is what it comes down to.

Exactly what it was, a dream.

It always seemed that Supertramp was trying to be 'all things to all people (listeners)'. Progressive or pop chart darlings? I thought only Ocasek from the Cars had as an annoying, whiny voice as Davies.
Ever heard Tiny Tim? No I won't post the hit... with a bullet.

One "hit" that wasn't even included on their one album.
We’ve claimed P Corey Bojorquez and CB Ryan Lewis off waivers and released P Colton Schmidt.

Yeah, the ads are all over the place alright but I'll give the guy this... he donates a lot of money to charities.
