     ...because the game was stopped and never replayed, I "lost". The league voted on what should happen with the other guy's blessing, and it was voted to pool 1st and 2nd place money and split the pool between the two of us...

     

    Very fair outcome for an unprecedented situation IMO.

  2. Yep, I'm in way too many Dynasty leagues. Been playing this version of FF for several years. Liked it so much, I've also bought into 2 Devy leagues in the past 2 seasons. I find Devy gives me an edge in Dynasty Rookie drafts as I have researched the players sooner and longer. May or may not be true but I THINK it is! 😄 

     

    I know what you mean about activity. However, I'm in 2 leagues where one GM constantly sends out offers, most are pretty awful. but I still need to look. 

     

    I always try to respond to trades with a short explanation. If I can start a dialogue, I find that we can sometimes negotiate a win/win deal. So many GMs just want to steal your best players like you're an idiot.

  3. Kind of a different take here as we don't actually have one favorite restaurant. Rather, we have favorite dishes that only certain restaurants do great.

     

    For example, if we're in the mood for 'za, we go to a particular pizzeria. If in the mood for lamb chops, only one place to go for us. Burger tonight (?), we know exactly where to go to satisfy that urge.

     

    So in a roundabout way, I guess my answer would be "always order the same thing" since we generally go to that restaurant for a particular dish.

    I think it's a scam. That's a terribly long time to be on a boat. Once you get on..........

     

     

     

    I distinctly remember seeing that episode when it originally aired. I was like 9. 

     

    Best. Twilight Zone. EVER! 

  5. Not "modern" but, Grammy nominated Jazz group Spyro Gyra started in Buffalo in the 70's. Saw them on many a night before they hit the big-time. And many times since as well. 

     

    From Wikipedia: "Saxophonist Jay Beckenstein and keyboardist Jeremy Wall formed a band with jazz and rock musicians who were playing in the Buffalo bar and club circuit. In 1974..."

  6. As in the past, when the Bills are having a rough time, I turn down the TV audio and switch to the 'GR broadcast at halftime (Sanchita Karma).  I take great pains to perfectly synch the radio audio with the TV video.

     

    Without these past actions, the Bills would not have experienced the W as influenced by my then current action (Agami Karma).

     

    I have not performed these actions in their 3 losses. 

     

    You're welcome.

  7. If you ever get the chance to see Buddy perform at his own club (Buddy Guy's Legends )in Chicago, I'd highly recommend it! I've seen him there twice and it's awesome.

    I could not (respectfully) disagree with this more.  He is probably the worst frontman I've ever seen live and his voice never comes close to pulling off a blues vibe.

    First saw KWS in Minneapolis when he was 19. Probably seen him 15 times since. Guess you could say my wife and I are fans.
     

    Completely agree that KWS himself isn’t much for vocals (but believe it or not, is improving!). Also agree that he’s a superior guitarist and that his music trends a bit more blues/rock with even some country vibes, than straight ahead blues.  
     

    That said, I’d completely agree with SMH that Noah Hunt has a very good voice. They’ve been together for a long time and Hunt’s vocals have been a large part of the band’s success. KWS himself said as much in a Guitar Center Sessions interview several years ago. If you’re judging Hunt’s voice as a bluesman, he isn’t Buddy Guy, or Keb Mo or Howlin’ Wolfe or any of the classic greats. But IMO, his voice is perfect for KWS band and the music they play.

    Using a reputable VPN and subscribing to the European version of NFL Gamepass for $250 per year still looks to be the best option for those who don't have or want DirecTV. 

    From there, all you have to do is hook your streaming device up to your TV either with an HDMI cable or via Aircasting, and boom, high definition NFL football on demand, on your television, plus NFL Network, Red Zone, and the full archive of NFL Network programming and past games and Super Bowls to boot.

    Hopefully, this is the last year that this is necessary. Sounds like from 2023 onward, we'll be able to just get Sunday Ticket (or whatever they're going to call it) from Google or Amazon or whoever wins the bid.

     

    With the Euro basically at par with the US$, it's actually $190 bucks plus tax. Tough to beat. Only issue is that it's about 30 seconds or so behind the US broadcast.

    ...Live. The Stratton hot on Keith Lincoln in the 64 championship.

    Though just a kid, with the sound of it I thought he was dead until he moved.

     I was at that game as well. The sound of the hit reverberated through the stadium. I remember the whole place going silent for an instant. My older brother, like you, also thought Lincoln was dead! Completely changed the game.

  11. Live in person: Kirby Puckett’s walk-off HR in the 11th inning of game 6 of the 1991 World Series forcing the decisive game 7 the next night. I as at that game as well: Jack Morris’ 10 inning shutout gem of the Braves to win it all. Unbelievable 24 hours for this lifelong Twins fan.
