This didn't come from the Jets front office. This came from a fan website and this is a fan opinion.

Living in the Bay Area when Bonds was on his homerun rampage, all the local stations would break in for a Bonds at bat if he was about to tie/break a record. The whole area (except for Oakland fans) was glued to the Giants and Bonds. More so than the 49ers or Raiders at the time.

John Fisher, A's owner is selling the San Jose Earthquakes to help pay for this stadium. He's getting no help from his baseball buddies. I would laugh hard when this ballpark doesn't happen. Fisher is a stain on Jose Canseco's underwear. They're not even drawing 8500 in Sacramento. The A's are a complete joke. <--- Former A's season ticket holder during the Moneyball era. Long time fan. No longer.

Agree. Pitchers would need something in a form of protection.

Think back to the 90s. Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi, all players who juiced, and most of us were on the edge of our seats waiting for the bomb into the stands (or McCovey Cove) that was about to happen. What if baseball allowed players to juice legally? There would be homerun battles year after year. Imagine Ohtani and Judge hitting 70 plus HR's a year, or more! Think baseball fans wouldn't go nuts over that? Something to at least have some fun discussing.

Modern English. (Good band)

It happened to me last night. I posted about Jeff Skinner's lack of effort in the "Josh is still the answer" thread. I quickly deleted it before a comment was made. Yay me.

My band won Best Classic Rock Band for the past two years in the All-WNY Awards.

Nerds are a cover band that uses a gimmick for fans. They don't belong.

And just how many fans will show up at a Panther's Stanley Cup parade this year?

I didn't know Ted personally, but he became a world wide respected jazz fusion drummer with Gamalon and other projects. Unfortunately Ted passed away in 2015 from a small plane crash. Just YouTube Ted Reinhert Gamalon.

Ted Reinhart of Gamalon fame also deserves recognition. In 1973, Ted's band at the time was covering Genesis. The actual band Genesis thought it was super cool that a US band was covering their music, so they all flew to Buffalo to see the band. The band, and especially Phil Collins was super impressed with Ted. In 1977 when Phil took over lead singing duties, Phil reached out to Ted to see if he had any interest in becoming Genesis' full time touring drummer. Ted turned it down as he didn't want to spend his whole life touring. So they offered the gig to the next guy on their list, Chester Thompson.

Dangnebit!!! I read this whole thread. Now I have to stock up a the liquor store! It will take a whole lot of drinking to recover from all the bubble wrap!!!

Let's revisit this for this year. I'm in. I could convenience my wife as well.

Smooth video. Liked it. Nice job!

Hailee's weekly email: The wedding issue HI. I’M MARRIED. WE’RE MARRIED!!!! I’m sitting here with Josh, and we’re reminiscing on the best weekend of our lives for the millionth time. As you know, I’m always somewhere in between wanting to share every detail and wanting to keep them close to my heart. But Beau Society felt like the right place to share some of the love and magic that made up our wedding weekend, and we had so much fun putting a few of our favorite memories and photos together in this issue! Over the past two weeks, random yet very specific memories have been popping back into our heads, and we’ve been blurting them out to each other, often through smiles, laughs, and tears. In no particular order, these are the moments we can’t stop thinking about. We must begin with all the love. It felt like love was running through the veins of every tree at our gorgeous venue in Santa Barbara. Our family and friends coming together amplified it. The night before the night before our wedding, we had dinner with just our immediate families (+ our nanas, of course). It was just the fourteen of us; a calm before the festivities. At one point, Griffin unexpectedly prompted the question, “When did you know Hailee and Josh were meant to be together?” Everyone went around and shared tiny, sweet, thoughtful, and funny observations. It was so special. Our friends arrived the next day for our welcome party. The dress code was ‘vibrant elegance.’ It felt like a garden party, so fun and an entirely different vibe than our wedding day, which was ‘all-black black tie’ and felt very classic and bold. Our signature drinks at the party were a ‘Brando Old Fashioned’ and a ‘Teenie Tiny Margarita.’ We asked a few of our close friends to give little speeches the night before. Collectively, they spoke with the perfect balance of humor and so much love. I was a puddle. I stole their printed and handwritten pages right out of their hands to frame them. We had the amazing Jose Villa and his team with us from Thursday through Sunday to capture all the love. We had a no-phone wedding — we wanted everyone to come and be present. Looking back, it was one of the best decisions we made. But that meant Jose had his work cut out for him, capturing all the magic for us. On the morning of our wedding, Josh and I met for breakfast just before 7. I’m so glad we did that. I don't think I could've gone the whole day without seeing him! We had a little spread, which included my favorite lemon ricotta pancakes. Okay, Josh says we have to talk about my dress now because I “stunned” him when I got to the altar . It’s easily the most perfect gown I’ve ever put on my body. Tamara Ralph designed it custom for me. Her tailoring is exquisite. We were on the tightest timeline. Six weeks before the wedding, my mom and I flew to Paris straight from the Sinners premiere in London for the fitting. I really had to lean into the whole ‘trust the process’ thing and thank God for Rob, Mariel, Tamara, and her team for pulling it all together in time. On our wedding day, when I put on this dress, I actually lost my breath. I’ve never felt more like myself and more beautiful. I added these long, sheer gloves that I’m obsessed with. They’re so delicate you can actually see my nail shape through the fabric (shout out Tom Bachik)! My veil was French Chantilly lace, and my incredible earrings were Mikimoto. Josh looked like the man of every dream I’ve ever had in his custom Tom Ford tuxedo with a pleated shirt that I loooved and black cufflinks and buttons. RIP me. Our sweet nieces and nephews (squealing that I officially get to say that now) played a very special role as our flower girls and ring bearers. Of course, I missed watching them walk down, but those precious photos will definitely be framed in our home. Fittingly, my mom was my “something blue” all weekend. She looked absolutely stunning. My dad walked me down the aisle, and let me just say, I’m very proud of us. It became a running joke that we’d be crying too hard to walk straight. I just remember the walkup looked like a façade. Josh was standing under this huge structure; it was the most surreal thing I’d ever seen. Instead of a bouquet, I held one single crystal rose. It was blue skies, 75 and sunny the entire weekend. Except the coolest thing happened after we got married: We walked off the aisle to “Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours)”, and it started thundering. No rain, just thunder and lightning. Magical. Entering our reception for the first time was unforgettable. So much JOY. And the flowers! The red candelabras! The dance floor! The stage! The chandeliers?!! All of our people! The flow of the reception was dance, speech, cry, dance, eat, dance, speech, cry, dance, etc. Our parents and siblings gave the most touching speeches. Plus, our friend Amanda recited a gorgeous poem she wrote for us that day. Our wedding cake was a lemon olive oil cake with vanilla buttercream. It was so damn good. For the cake cutting, Josh’s grandma gave us an engraved Michael Aram serving knife, and my nana gifted us a pair of Baccarat champagne glasses to “cheers” with (which by the way, matched our decor perfectly). Josh is now reminding me to talk about the band! When we say the dance floor was popping, it was literally bowing. Our band brought the greatest energy, and in the final minutes of our reception, we jumped on stage with them, and Josh had a rockstar moment quoting the infamous ‘I’m not leaving…I’m not f!#%ing leaving!’ They played us off, and Josh and I made our way to the after party… BTW, I also wore a Tamara Ralph dress to our welcome party and the after party. Both were perfect for each occasion. (Are we all over the place?! Are you with us?! Lol) Our underground after-party (we had a sound ordinance to comply with) included a DJ, cigar bar, lots of Angel Margarita, grilled cheese sandwiches, and chocolate chip cookies served with shot glasses of milk. Healthy, we know. We had a little portrait studio by The Collective You for our guests at the after-party. My friends are still talking about it. The photographer was amazing (shout out Denis!). I'm obsessed with how the portraits turned out. The night ended at 3am with all our friends jumping in the pool in their dresses and tuxes. I didn’t jump in (I was wearing feathers), but I took photos, which I’ll share once I get our disposables back. To close, this wedding truly would not have been possible without the extraordinary Mindy Weiss and her incredible team. Mindy anticipated our every need, guided us through each decision, and made sure every single detail — from our invitations, to the food, to the flow of the entire weekend — felt deeply personal to us. We are endlessly grateful to her and Meg, and the whole team for creating the most beautiful celebration of our lives. I’m sure we’re forgetting so many things we’ll want to mention later, but suffice it to say, it was perfect — the whole entire thing. The next day, Josh and I ran off into the sunset to our honeymoon (more on that later?). Now we’re back, and it’s been a whole 13 days of being married, and we’ll be staying on this high forever!
