Wife and I went to St.Kitts Jack Tar Village for our honeymoon. First night cocktail meet and struck up a conversation with a guy. He asks where I live, said Buffalo as it’s easier for those outside of the area to figure out where it is. He then asks where in Buffalo, said a suburb call Tonawanda. Turns out he lived a couple streets over! Couple of days later go on a catamaran and there is a group having a great time. One of the women comes up to me and knows who I am. Turns out she was my childhood doctors receptionist! Cool stuff but feel they probably went to the same travel agent. Still cool though. Worked at Kmart in the home improvement center years ago going to college. Had a women come in with her mother and buy some bathroom fixtures we had on clearance. Had a Suzuki Samurai and had to load it in the vehicle. She was a complete PITA, she was so rude my buddy called her the “B” word under his breath. She hears him, stomps towards us and rips us both. Fast forward about 2 years and I go to the wedding of a guy I worked with, who is marrying the girl my brother took to prom. Walk in and one of the bridesmaids comes up to me and asks who I am. My friends had talked me up a bit before I got there. We end up in the dance floor and later had my first…one nighter. Fast forward a few years and I’m in the bathroom of the house of that girl, married to her for a few months. I open the bathroom cabinet and see its “Miami Carey” brand…used to sell it at Kmart. Mention that to her and she proceeds to tell me the story of how she bought and we realized that I sold it to her!! I don’t believe in fate, but feel we were meant to be together. We went to the same high school, I was a year behind her. Ended up eventually marrying her. She was a nurse when I met her and after being in telecom for many years I wanted a career change. We talked about it and I got my RN. Been with her for when she had a stroke (doing really well and was working in 6 months), retinal detachment and emergency surgery, kidney cancer, kidney biopsy where they went through her artery and started to bleed out a few days after. She told me she was feeling weird that morning and feel she would have passed away if I went to work instead of taking her to the hospital. Truly feel we were meant to be together to care for her in her times of need.

Cooks and Shaq Thompson. Cooks for down the field, still feel he can be an asset. Shaq played well and layed the lumber a few times last year, still has it. Prater. Kinda would like him over Bass regardless.

Bills will have to sign someone as a camp leg to take work off Bass. Not sure why, but feel Prater is in the mix if Bass stumbles.

I get people want to have fun, but having your music so loud I can’t talk to the people I’m at the game with is awful. Is Pinto Ron at Hammers Lot? Can’t make food for other people! Seems a bit much that rule. Be interesting how they police all of these new rules. Especially cold weather with all the open fired the old lots had.

I like the colors…just not for the Bills. Not a fan of the helmet. Will have to see how they look in game. Better than the Rivalries that you couldn’t see the player names or numbers on the field.

Didn’t expect him to sign with the Sabres.

Live local, but listen to WGR on my phone. I don’t use the actual app, use the website. Easier than carrying around a radio to listen. Not a fan of Audacy at all, like the addition of Sirius. Strange that Audacy would canabalize themselves adding Sirius, unless it’s a pretty large check. Per the OP’s link. Won’t be available to everyone who has Sirius: Stations available on the SiriusXM app and in the growing number of vehicles on the road with the latest generation SiriusXM with 360L radios

Really liked Tom Pelissero. Did a great job with insider stuff, straight and to the point. Isn’t overally animated like Schefter. Charles Davis was excellent in the past. Really liked him on draft coverage. Interesting part is he has been a madden announcer for years…probably changes now.

Late 80’s Denon turntable, mid 90’s Denon receiver and late 80’s Polk Audio bookshelf speakers. Also have an early 90’s Nakamichi cassette deck. Have a Yamaha receiver that keeps blowing fuses that I’d like to get repaired. Nothing super expensive, but it sounds great.

Not a fan of his at all. Honestly have not been a fan of ESPN for years. They have become a bunch of “look at me” blowhards versus actual sports reporters/broadcasters. Opinion versus truth. Days are long gone of reporters like Linda Cohn, Bob Ley, Steve Levy, Andrea Kramer, Charley Steiner. Berman, Patrick, Eisen are on the list also but were showman also. I miss actual reporting of the facts with some opinion mixed in versus straight opinion of the day.

Instead of “voice of the Bills”, WGR is “voice of the fan”.

Was at the stadium grounds yesterday checking out the progress of tearing down of The Ralph and checking out the new stadium. You can get closer to the stadium now and it’s wild how big it is! Can’t get very close to the statues, but was impressed by size and how they look; especially when looking at them and the stadium together. I will say they look better in real life than the pictures I’ve seen.

Very sad. He suffered from mental health issues that caused his issues while playing and beyond. RIP. June is men’s mental health awareness month. Check on your friends and family and make sure they are doing well, have those conversations. Speak up if you are having tough times and seek help. Many men are experiencing issues, yet stay silent.

Email said to watch for the email. Prices were not disclosed yet. I’ll post here once I see the cost, but expect others will also.

Will never have another chance to do this. Unless it’s cost prohibitive, will absolutely do the tour.
