I recall the Chefs had a 6’10” TE named Morris Stroud in the late 60’s into the early 70’s. Coach Stram lined him up just in front of the cross bar to try and block a long field goal try. I don’t think it ever worked and the league outlawed the practice soon after but give them credit for thinking outside the box

All the night games look like dogs.
Just watched and enjoyed Miami vs. LA today with Green and Harlan.
Harlan is fairly entertaining and has a great voice; I don't mind him...Trent Green is god awful at his job and has been that way for 20 years. How he keeps his job I don't know.
I'll enjoy haring Harlan call some of our big plays.
One of those ‘eye of the beholder’ things I guess. I just watched YouTube highlights of the Dolphins-Chargers game and I found Harlan’s over hyped style to be pretty annoying. I suppose if he was gushing about your players it would be easier to stomach. Hopefully the Bills don’t give him much to gush about on the Raiders-

While it is great to see UPL steal the game for us, the other side of that coin is we were pretty significantly outplayed. We seem to give up way too many scoring chances. Breakaways aside, we give up a lot of chances from deep in the slot.
Doesn’t that imply our centers or wings aren’t picking up these shooters? It seems we wouldn’t typically want our D men being pulled so far from the net. Any opinions on why the deep slots seem so often open?

If the Bills seriously want OBJ when he is healthy, and I am not all that sure they do, would they consider offering him some money to join our practice squad? Not sure how much it would take to lure him to Buffalo but it would be an opportunity to try out the fit, demonstrate the Bills culture, and allow him to learn the offense.
Any team could sign him off our PS if they have a roster spot and the money he wants, but is that much different for OBJ than his current FA status? It might give us a better shot at signing him, if we are truly interested.

Since I lived outside of WNY for many years I had to make my own wings if I wanted anything close to those found around WNY.
I grilled wings ‘low and slow’ at home for many years and seasoned with a recipe I learned from a Hamburg bar employee. The main ingredient is Franks.
In a larger saucepan, Melt a single pat of butter. More is not better in this case. Add a few glugs of Frank’s, three or four squirts of Worcestershire sauce, four or five shakes of garlic powder, six or seven shakes of celery seed, and add Tabasco as desired(I add about 9-10 drops for a 10 wing batch). Grill the wings, best kept together the drummie and the flat as it is easier to tell which have been turned, for about 45 minutes, turning every 7 minutes or so depending on heat of your grill. Low and slow works best for me as one can have a couple of beers while cheffing.
After they are basically cooked, put them in the saucepan, cover, and shake to coat. I like to put them back on indirect heat for another 5 minutes or so but if you like them wet, skip that step.
Recently I got one of those Ninja air fryers and love cooking wings with it. They taste more like the bar made deep fried wings and when grilling is inconvenient, they are the go to lately.
I use the above mentioned sauce but have found a couple of Buffalo Wild Wing sauces (sold at Sam’s Club) that are quite tasty. Sam’s sells a 2’ pack of 20 oz sauces for 7.99 - Garlic Parm and Asian Zing.
Amazingly, my latest cholesterol numbers were down! I think that Marie’s Blue cheese must offset the wings

I got tickets to the Home Opener but got a new job that requires me to be in Pittsburgh for September. So I'm trying to transfer the tickets to my friend (via Stubhub) and there isn't even an option ofr transfer. Does anyone know why this is?
If you have ‘accepted’ the tickets, perhaps they are out of Stubhub’s control? I am not certain but seem to recall my VividSeats tix worked that way.
Do you have a Ticketmaster account or the Bills app? If you can access them there, you should see a transfer option. Good luck and let us know how you make out

So there is one chip in an object that is 11 inches long, right? We assume it is roughly at some center point.
When you have the ref using the width of a credit card to determine the first down on a measurement, seems like an error of 5.5 inches (half the ball length) would be problematic in determining first downs

I didn’t know that type of ‘mass shooting’ insurance even existed. The idea of thinking like an insurance company though might be helpful in the general debate.
Similar to auto liability insurers, what concerns would a gun liability insurer have in agreeing to insure a gun owner (if that were a requirement)? Many of the same considerations as the auto insurer I would guess.
How old is the person? They would likely have higher rates for the very young and the very old. Past history with the legal system would affect rates. Training and some proficiency testing should impact insurability and rates too. Seems if you have to prove your vision is good enough to drive, proving you can see well enough to shoot a gun might be a consideration on insurability. Anyway, I am sure there are others
Without getting into the weeds of whether actual gun insurance should be required, I think looking at the issue from the perspective of an insurer can help highlight the areas possible legislation could focus on. If an insurer would not cover a person or only have coverage for an individual at astronomical rates, our laws should force a more intense screening of those individuals too

How was it even an attempted insurrection...without firearms? And what stopped the rioters from disrupting the recognition of valid electors? Typically in an insurrection, you try to accomplish your goal or die trying.
Doc, you may already know this but in order move ahead with this plan, it was not necessary to kill anyone. It seems some of those more militant rioters may have, but postponing the recognition of electors was the goal.
I have heard it called an attempted auto- coup.
Really by your logic, coups could not happen before the invention of firearms. But, I digress. The point is that not all coups require weapons
The rioters did disrupt the proceeding. Perhaps those aiming to do that thought they had succeeded. The legislators stayed and completed it late that night. Why they left? Trump finally called them off and the more militant ones didn’t find anyone to terrorize

That's funny because I know you insurrection believers have no diagnosis skills.
Well, it was much more of an attempted insurrection. That makes it harder to recognize than actually overturning the election.
Anyway, if the rioters had somehow disrupted the recognition of valid electors that day and pushed the elector decision back to the state legislatures would it have been an attempted insurrection in your eyes then?

I see patients before I put them under. During anesthesia, if something untoward arises, I diagnose it and treat it.
Thanks Doc. I think you probably know why I asked.
You haven’t really observed the hearings very well if you haven’t learned anything related to those two points. One might be skeptical of your conclusions or diagnoses given those observation abilities.

Is your butting in here just to make a point? Lol
How do you get involved without butting in or starting a thread?

No, I made it clear that there would be no new facts or knowledge presented to prove that a) this was truly an "insurrection" and b) Trump orchestrated it. I also knew that there would be no discussion of the incompetence when it came to providing security that day. So far it's meeting those expectations.
Hey Doc, are you an actual ‘patient seeing’ physician? One that has to make observations and come to a diagnosis?

The reason for the move is the Sabres are not making any big signings this year. They want to leave room for their prospects to keep developing. They might add a goalie but that's about it. They have two players coming to from Rochester, Quinn and Peterka, and they want to save slots for them.
As for what future considerations are, the Sabres got the 7th and Dallas gets nothing really.
I guess I understand that they have to spend to the floor and don’t want to bring in a lot of veterans to raise spending. I guess
If you have several core players that you expect to keep long term, why not restructure their contracts to front load them? Can you do that to get to the floor number?
If so, why not pay Tuch, Thompson, Dahlin, even Skinner, etc bigger money for 2022-2023 and restructure those contracts to pay less in the following years when we will be more cap strapped? What am I not understanding?

I get what you're saying but there is one difference.... owning a firearm is a constitutional right. Driving is a privilege. You can own as many cars as you like, you don't have to have a DL or have it registered but you have to keep it on your property. Same with firearms.
I appreciate that distinction
So, has there been discussion about this potential problem?
-
I haven’t followed this thread closely so apologies if this has been discussed
Just like with driver’s licenses, are we considering possible diminishing mental faculties and dementia with aging gun owners? Seems like quite a few of these ‘responsible gun owners’ that may have assembled a gun collection will someday suffer from dementia.
The person may become agitated and confused and could become a non responsible gun owner. Or, the person may forget about them and could easily lose track of the weapons.
Has there been discussion about this issue here?

I’m not claiming the election was stolen. I’m just not falling for this politically motivated sideshow. There’s a difference. (And for what it’s worth…it doesn’t matter whether everyone around the President was giving him different advice. He is/was the President. Not following the advice of your staff is neither a crime nor the sign of a bad leader.)
Lol. Good one Deek. Quite the reach though if you are serious
Having to sort through difficult issues and sometimes bucking the crowd to make a tough leadership call may indeed be a sign of a good leader. To somehow equate that with Trump ignoring truth in order to further his self serving scheme to override the vote is just wishful fantasy

Typically I don't have to point out the obvious to those who read the articles.
“Now a central question is whether the attack on the Capitol was coordinated and planned,” said Select Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., while wrapping up questions. “What you witnessed is what a coordinated and planned effort would look like. It was the culmination of a months-long effort spearheaded by President Trump.”
Except Quested did not testify that the Proud Boys attended first as insurrectionists. To the contrary, Quested told NBC’s Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press” Sunday that the group’s leader, Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, was “very receptive” to the documentary crew’s embed.
“How did you get Mr. Tarrio and other members of the Proud Boys to say, ‘Yes. Film us. We want this on the record. Document what we’re doing?” Todd asked.
“Well, I had a colleague who gave me Enrique’s phone number and I called him,” Quested said, before going on:
He was very receptive to the idea. He liked the film that I had produced called Restrepo with my colleagues Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington, which was a film about a deployment of veterans in the Korengal Valley in Afghanistan. So I think the veteran aspect of that was appealing to them.
The leader of a group plotting a coordinated insurrection would normally be hard-pressed to allow a documentarian to film it, let alone be receptive to an embed.
Now, you can disagree with that interpretation of course, but "pretending" that you couldn't see it was dishonest.
There was also a link to this often ignored fact.
So, it’s too much for you to explain how the article debunks the coordination possibility? I read the article. How copying and pasting it here helps anyone’s understanding is confusing at best.
I saw the article state some points, yes. I don’t see how those points mean there was no coordination. That was the explanation I was hoping you might give. The author did a poor job connecting his facts with his assertion

J6 Committee’s Own Witness Debunks Claim Of Coordinated Insurrection
by Tristan Justice
Last week, the Select Committee on Jan. 6 brought forward a pair of witnesses to testify in the panel’s first prime-time hearing to depict the Capitol riot as a coordinated “insurrection.” Among them was a documentary filmmaker named Nick Quested, who was embedded with the far-right group the “Proud Boys” on the day of the turmoil. Quested gave the committee an eyewitness account of the riot as he followed the Proud Boys throughout the day.(snip) Except Quested did not testify that the Proud Boys attended first as insurrectionists. To the contrary,
Typically I don’t read your posts or articles but was bored enough to check out the link. Can you tell me how it debunks the idea of a coordinated insurrection?

C’mon Tibs, of course the US inflation is all Biden’s fault. Sheesh!
I just can’t figure out how he has caused the inflation across the world too.
