    I had 3 friends go there last year, I assumed the game. They just stayed at the Elbo Room all weekend

    Man, to each their own,  it that sounds awful to me! 
     

    now, back in da day (84 and 85) I spent several hours over several days  in the Elbo Room drinking $.50 beers before 3 during spring break.

    Hey all,

     

    I’m thinking about making a long weekend trip and going to the Miami game, in Miami.  Is it worth the trip?  Any tips on where to stay or “must try” restaurants?  I’ve been to a lot of games at home and a handful of away games, I know nothing compares to the game day experience in Buffalo, but I’m always down for something new.

    I am not like many, when I go to away games last thing I want is being around a bunch of drunk Bills fans eating nasty wings and swilling cheap beer like Blues.

    i much much much prefer getting a feel for the local flavor of the place just like I would do when visiting not for the game. 
     So to clear, you could not pay me enough to go to the Elbo Room. 
     

    Having said that, we stayed in the Brickell area of Miami last December. Element. Brickell. Cool area , tons of great restaurants , clubs if that’s your thing. Super cool outdoor covered mall with great restaurants as well. No beach though. Metro right there as well. 
     

    Now, you may hate all that, but best thing we did was tailgate with this guy! Reach out to him on Twitter, boy can cook. He tailgates with Dolphins fans , which makes it even more fun. I guarantee he will have best tailgate food ya ever had.

    Went to my local butcher yesterday... And I copped a 20 ounce dry aged bourbon infused ribeye steak 

     

    Damn I'm so excited but admittedly I'm not a grill Master 

     

    What is the best way to prepare this not cheap steak.. and make it the best way possible 

     

    Please and thank you

    First things first. Pay the $ 8 a month to get the blue check mark on Twitter. Put this exact question on Twitter, with about 10 follow up questions each in a separate thread. 

     

    Collect more than enough money from clicks to pay for your steak. 
     

    For those that don’t know, people looking for engagement on twitter only post in questions that EVERYONE will have an opinion on, and that EVERYONE (me included) wants the world to know how smart they and will reply and otherwise engage with the tweet.

    I was a big sous vide guy, and still use it for some applications, but I have gone back to tossing my steaks on the charcoal grill.  The volatile compounds/flavors you get from meat juices and fat hitting hot coals is amazing and irreplaceable in my opinion.  In comparison, sous vide steaks can feel like they're missing some soul.  A little too perfect.  I still have yet to try searing a sous vide steak over a chimney starter.  Maybe that will be the best of both worlds? 

    I  was a big sous vide guy for 2 inch plus steaks as well. But now that kids are gone and my fat ass is retired , I reverse sear on the Egg 90% of the time cause I gots the time to do it!  
     

    Only time I sous vide a steak now is if I want to start directly from frozen. 
     

     

    and yes, if I do sous vide,  if just one steak for wife and me, I put the Egg grill grate right on top of the starter and sear there. I have actually just brought  just that set up for small tailgates and do steaks for steak Sammy’s in the lot. No need to lug a grill.

    Sous Vide Q is mostly what I'm using sous vide for these days.  Sous vide Q has been an amazing trick for tailgate/camping.  Having a few racks of ribs, a pork shoulder, even a whole brisket already perfectly cooked that only needs to get reheated on a grill for a few minutes is a game changer.

    You and I sound like we are on a similar cooking journey. I do this as well now for tailgates. I know it’s blasphemy, but I am not a rib guy, so for tailgates mostly butts or brisket. 
     

    But what I do different is  instead of grilling again, I vacuum seal the brisket with some the liquid gold   ( point and flat in separate bags) and then reheat in a hot pot  of water at the tailgate. For the brisket, no doubt this method will result in a not crispy bark, but damn you can not tell that stuff did come

    of the smoker that day. Brisket I leave as whole as possible before sealing, pork gets sealed already pulled. Bonus is they can go from frozen as well, so can make your brisket for the home opener today if ya like!
     

    Ribs I agree on the grill way better way to reheat. 
     

    I   do this now for when we have people , takes the “ game day worry away”. All I have to time is getting the water to temp! 
     

    But  my question back to you. Do you smoke before the bath or after? I have always done after, but seems like that is split down the middle.

    This is pretty describes me, although to be fair not sure about the communist angle. Pre Covid I was “ normie norm” I guess who watched the national news occasionally ( no particular network) and read WAPO everyday. And never questioned what they were writing/ reporting. 
     

    Holy hell did that change LOL.

    Things we knew early on, but were called “conspiracy theories” from those who made billions from Covid policy lies:

     

    The virus came from Wuhan

     

    Lockdowns didn’t work

     

    Masks didn’t work

     

    Keeping kids out of school was dumb

     

    Masking children was cruel

     

    Social distancing was pointless

     

    The vaccines didn’t stop transmission

     

    The vaccines had deadly and serious side effects

     

    Boosters didn’t work

     

    Keeping us locked in our houses made things worse

     

    “Trust the science” was a lie used by tyrants

     

    The WHO, CDC, and FDA are corrupt

     

     

     

     

    Been a long time since I posted here on this topic. The triumvirate below are responsible for so much destruction in our society. Ripped families apart, fractured friendships, made the wealthy wealthier and the middle class poorer.  The destruction being done to our youngest generation of folks just entering the workforce is hard to fathom. I mean the utter destruction of education, especially for lower income black and brown kids is going to felt by them for prolly 3-4 generations. 

     

    All so people like this could lie and misinform to make sure Trump and his ilk would not stay in office. Not sure who is still here, but I was as virulent anti-Trump as one could find on this site pre-Covid. Witnessing what lies and misinformation these despicable folks would keep pushing, pushed me hard to the Republican side. Sucks as even on here , we had a Covid thread on main forum that unfortunately had a mod that only wanted to allow "that" side...everything that eventually proved true was deemed to be from " biased" sources, and deleted and warning points given out. Drove a ton of us away.

  6. Hey  @Kirby Jackson, do i have this right? Let's say you had clubs now, but turned them down and told them you needed to move into another part of the stadium for financial reasons...are you put at the top of the list when that non-club section goes on sale? Or once everyone who previously sat in :"that section" has gone through, you then get to pick. and this just keeps repeating until you find seats you like?

     

    Maybe just me, but the excitement of the new stadium has already worn off..feels like the news cycle has moved on. i mean I am 135 row 22(28 yd line or so) and it feels like it will be sometime in 25 before I go. just no juice for me there anymore

    My guess is he just extended Don and wanted to give him every chance before using the hook. 

    Terry?

     

    Cause if it was KA, and he said he knew right from the jump that the standards and accountability were not high, he should have fired him mid season...when ya still had a season that could have been saved

    thats the most pissed off and fired up I’ve ever seen Adams. I really liked almost everything he said.

     

    It sounds like he has a very clear vision of who he wants as the next head coach and I’m no longer worried it’s going to be another inexperienced coach.

     

    He said NHL head coaching experience is #1 (finally!!). He wants an experienced veteran that can show this team how to take the next step. And he wants someone that’s going to set a standard and hold the players accountable. He said the team is craving structure/discipline/accountability.
     

    refreshing press conference. It’s long but really worth a listen.

    here is what bothers me. KS states standards and accountability were not high starting with the first day of training camp.

     

    1) Then why did you wait so long to fire Donny? The season may have been salvaged had you made this move between Thanksgiving and Christmas. But maybe you just felt Donny was going to turn it around? 

     

    2) He wanted to fire Donny, but Terry would not let him

     

     

    neither one of those scenarios are good  if you are a Sabre fan

    Well -

    -We have the scene of Diggs waving his arms around yelling at Allen on the sidelines.  It's a fact that there were earlier passes in the game Diggs didn't pull in.

    -We have the 2022 scene of Diggs, a team captain, leaving the building before the booth assistant coaches have even got down to the locker room and having to be fetched back by a PS running back.

    -We have the 2023 scene of Diggs, a team captain who missed a game-changing on target catch, likewise bailing out ASAP - not talking to the media either after the game, or during locker clean out.

    -We have the first-game 2023 scene of Diggs, again a team captain, approaching a distraught post-game Allen and saying something that resulted in Allen snapping at him and waving him off

    -We have Diggs choosing to weigh in on social media to a fan comment, responding "you sure?" to "Diggs isn't essential to Allen's success"

     

    Just to pull a few that appear to be factual and inarguable.

     

     

    To be fair, once BBB said they had been working on the deal, the last one was just Steph saying ya bout to find out cause I am traded! So that looks a lot different post trade.

    Just the fact you mention how much he makes as a basis to take all the unnecessary heat is proving more of my point. 
     

    the guy was nothing short of amazing during his tenure here.   And you are STILL bitching about him.  And you wonder why he’s glad he’s gone, if that’s accurate.  
     

     

    he was tired of losing, plain and simple. He was awesome, the Bills will miss him no doubt.

    There are plenty of posters on this board who 1. claim to have no social media and 2. hate on Diggs here. I think it's unfortunately VERY representative of the general fanbase right now. That will likely change as we get some time and distance and folks go back to realizing how great he was here and how little he did that was actually bad or offensive.

    as I said above, I think 13 seconds stung him to his core, as it should have. Then add on the Bengal playoff game, and this year's annual loss to KC and he had just lost all faith in McD and Allen to get him to a championship. Remember this dude wanted to win so bad he was ready to keep playing in the first Bengal game.

     

    Having said that, in February I called for a retooling year and taking all the cap hits this year, and that included trading Diggs. Just felt if we did the cap clearing, no need to spread the pain out. 

     

    They did most of what I wanted outside keeping Von. And they did something about Rasul's contract, spreading a bit out, but thank god almighty they did not extend him. So $4M dead next year on him, can work with it. Maybe BBB learning a little bit bout signing 30 + year old dudes.

     

    He had run his course in Buffalo, I have no animosity for him.....and most of Bills twitter is a joke. Only "famous" Bills fan twitter/podcasters etc I follow is Brother Bill...and @Hammered a Lot of course

    I’m in section 109 (away side, non tunnel end around the 20). I got my call on Monday and was told “closer to the end of the year” for my turn. Didn’t bother asking about pricing but sounded like once I got my notification I would have a 3 week window to schedule. Told her I would ideally schedule the same weekend as a home game since I live in Ohio and travel up for games and she said they could probably even squeeze me in on a weekend if needed. 

    I am 135, so like the 28...and i am hoping for the same scenario..game weekend. I figured November for me, sounds like it could be later

    We have a neighbor who is a well known architect. He was at our place helping us and noticed all the Bills stuff in the basement. He said his wife was going for a beach trip with her friends, but he’s not a big beach lover. Instead he was going to Buffalo for a tour of  WNY architecture. This guy could go anywhere and do anything, and this was a dream trip for him. 

     

    The next day he sends me a pic of wings and beer from WNY. I remind him he’s got to try the pizza, and 30 seconds later I get the pic of his pizza. His architecture tour turned into a food and architecture tour.  If you live there it’s easy to take for granted. 

    Architeture tours of Buffalo very popular, if you have not really should do it when on a game weekend. Last fall did an interior of Buffalo City Hall walking tour, they are free, think they do them every Friday at noon. ( tip your  guide you cheap bastage!)

     

    And damn, why did you recommend the drek they call Buffalo pizza. Did you not want him to like Buffalo?

    One will never convince me 10% is a good loan rate. But yeah if you have to have seasons and this is the way one has to finance the PSL, more power to you. 

    That might be, then go out and get another if you can get better. There is no clause that says ya have to use their lenders.
     

     I think it’s a pretty good rate for ( I think) no credit check unsecured loan.

    Honestly.. great point.

     

    Our cap is in great shape '25 and beyond, so if we thought this was a possibility.. why not just take the full restructure?

     

    And one has to think we knew it could happen.  Mixon's tweet about this being discussed a month ago.  Schefter reported on ESPN yesterday that Houston getting a '25 RD2 pick from the Vikings was done with this trade in mind. 

     

     

    counter point...if you know ya gonna have a rough go of it this year, and your real plan is to make a serious run in 25 and beyond, take as much cap hit as you can this year to have more in later years.

    Sure they will sell the tickets but the days of the regular average joe owning them sound like they are over. The more you post the more it sounds it's going to be a stadium full of corporate people and less hardcore fans. 

    the clubs are going to be people who have money, as it is is in EVERY stadium in America, not just football, every sport.

     

    The best non-club seats lower bowl between the twenties are going to be people who have more disposable income than many...again as it is in EVERY stadium in America.

     

    Having money does not preclude being a real fan

    Exactly. The NFL went upscale years ago. Compare a Super Bowl ticket today to the 90’s SB Bills games. It’s in another universe. 

    I went to the last two— both were $250 face value for decent, not great seats.

    I haven’t gone through this thread but I just heard 14% financing through MT bank. Lmfao

    10% —- which BTW is way less than a personal loan and lord knows a CC running at like 23%. 
     

    10% is a pretty good rate for this.

    On March 23, 2022, the Chiefs traded Hill to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a 2022 first-round pick, a 2022 second-round pick, two fourth-round picks, and a 2023 sixth-round pick.[113] 

     

    A 5th is not the same as 5 draft picks.

    Not quite sure what you mean here. The point I was trying to make and prolly did so poorly is that you can find WRs all over the draft now. So many of the top guys last few years were not top glad if round one, but found in other rounds. Diggs was a 4th, Cheetah a 5th, Nakua a 5th. Dell a 3rd, Higgins a 2nd and on down the line. 
     

    and I don’t think you can compare the Hill trade to this. Younger, still had upside , and Dolphins could structure contract as they wanted. 
     

    has I said yesterday, has to tell ya something that the Giants and Shoen and Daboll prolly would not even pony up a 3rs for Steph, and their jobs are on the line this year , at least Daboll is.

    He will be on his best behavior until he gets a new deal.   This deal puts him on notice because his guarantees are now gone.   He was fine in Buffalo until he got the extension.   It's human nature.  Like getting paid up front to do a job.  The eye tends to wander toward what's next.   That's where the quality of character comes in and unfortunately Diggs doesn't have much of that.

    i agree with the first half of your statements...not sure about his character.
