Artie was a bit unconventional. Took me a little, but ended up really liking him. RIP, Tiny Tot!

Let James Cook!! Happy the deal got done!

Can’t stand buying cars. Especially when the salesperson has no clue what they are selling. I’ve walked out on a few deals when it’s not what I wanted. Have gotten a call back, other times never went back. Best story is I purchased my first new car - a 92 Dodge Dakota pickup. I offered $10,500 for it, salesperson basically agreed. Went to his manager who was yelling at him in his office. Thought it was a ploy. Nope, apparently salesperson sold it for too low as the manager had to agree to sell it at that price. Ultimately was it a show in their part? Maybe. But got a good price. I won’t buy a brand new car any longer. The last two cars I bought for my wife were Honda’s just off a 2 year lease. Found a few cars on the dealers website that I was targeting. Did my research on price, researched extended warranty cost, worked out payments with what I wanted to put down. Figured out everything before I entered the dealership. A little haggling, but stuck pretty close to what I was willing to pay. Cars had 10,500 and 14,000 miles on them and were in great shape. At two years old, figure any issues with that model year are taken care. Also, don’t have the instant drop in value once you drive a new car off the lot. I’ve leased the last two Silverado’s I got for myself. Last one, I purchased outright at end of lease as it was worth 5k more than my buyout. Leasing is good for the right situation. I owned a business many years ago and it was great for that. For myself, it worked out when they had great lease plans with not a lot down. When buying new, do your research. Find out what manufacturer rebates are to the dealer, current rebates from the dealer, MSRP and if that vehicle is selling above or below. Research trade in value, or get a quote from Carvana as said above. Most important, don’t have a target payment. Dealer can get you whatever payment you want. Negotiate price and payment will follow.

They were concerned about no injuries, individual efforts. Seeing how guys did their jobs in a glorified scrimmage. Game plan, scheme were not on the menu.

First. Four straight as an amazing feat. Yep, winning would have been great. Winning one and not going back versus four straight loses? I don’t know..those 4 years plus were amazing. Josh? Kelly and company had a HOF WT, RB, DE, Coach and QB. Josh has a HOF himself and maybe LT depending? IMHO tough to compare teams.

Yes, players have been converted in the past. I’m wondering who the “cement handed” WR is you want to convert, or is it a general question?

No way was there 69K fans on the stands. Many open seats in my section with people spread out and being comfortable. Lot 7 was nowhere near full.

How is it obvious? We played a vanilla defense with no schemes. Not a great measuring stick for an entire season.

Wouldn’t get too concerned over how the defense played as a whole, or how individuals played. McD’s defenses are good and he gets the most out of his players…not concerned. This was a preseason game with a vanilla defense and no game planning. The Giants/Daboll have many reason they needed to play well and am sure they schemed more than us.

Yeah…knee down.

Many, many times. Several car wrecks. Father who fell. Myself - shellfish allergy and had a re-reaction. Work in a clinic and have had to call several time for patients who coded and those who needed transport to the hospital for other issues. Called on a guy who was swerving terribly back and forth.

Hope the stated timeline is pre-season centric. Wonder if it would be a shorter timeline in season?

Happy Birthday, Marv!

GM of Empire. Was also the sports director at WKBW before that.

So he’s going the Myles Garrett route of “severing ties” with the organization and city?? 😏
