They could not hire anyone. After Ma & Pa worked alone a couple of days - they said why? Ted's is shortening hours at some locations and closed the one on Union Road "temporarily":

Sure, why not?

That's exactly how it worked. The sideline SRO was right across from the vendors - made for a crush at intermissions. It was easy for me - being tall - I could see over anyone. There was a lot of position jockeying.

I was in SRO - top of the oranges http://www.timwendel.com/buffalo__home_of_the_braves_65990.htm https://www.amazon.com/Buffalo-Home-Braves-Tim-Wendel-ebook/dp/B088P7SD2Q/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=Buffalo+-+Home+of+the+Braves&qid=161 A statue for Randy Smith ? https://buffalonews.com/opinion/columnists/sean-kirst-randy-smith-was-monumental-his-friends-say-make-it-official/article_96267ee4-7384-11eb-941d-17e164d06ba3.html

My wife and daughter had theirs tested. I really did not care. My daughter bought me a test because she has a chronic health condition (which neither of her parents had) and wanted to see any links. My wife and I come from two entirely different gene pools. I had the test and there were no surprises. It was 23 and Me. Then I kept getting their e-mails about matches - I assume it was second cousins and I really did not care. No Harm - No Foul

The Seneca Indian casinos have full betting now. 4 of the State casinos across the state have it also. Now that King Cuomo is looking at empty coffers, there will be a rush to pass legislation for on line betting. NY has been losing money to PA and NJ. Conn too ?

I know I noticed when I still went to games - but the time outs are getting ridonkulous From Phil Mushnick's column in the NY Post How to make 2 minutes last forever: For a multitude of reasons, the NFL continues to make it easier to walk away and never return. Here’s one: Sunday’s first-half two-minute warning in Giants-Ravens began with 1:58 left on the clock. It next took 23 minutes to complete the half — 23 minutes to play 1:58, no stoppages to treat injuries or await replay challenges. Two timeouts called after the two-minute warning commercials break included five more minutes of commercials, two of them reruns from the previous commercial stoppage. Of course, with no one in the stadia, no PSL suckers had to suffer the elements during those 23 minutes of commercial breaks waste before the 12- to 15-minute halftime break.

Alabama - Ohio State - over 75 ?? Cannot put a finger on that line ;(

The last time the Buffalo Bills controlled and fulfilled their own playoff destiny was on December 22nd, 1996. Jim Kelly threw two fourth quarter TD passes to overcome a 9-6 deficit and the Bills defeated the Chiefs 20-9 to earn a wild card playoff berth and eliminate the Chiefs from post season contention for the first time in seven seasons. What else was happening at that moment in time?
