lol, im in the same boat. I've been to Elmo's, and love the wings. Before I moved out (30 years ago), i used to go to the Raintree Inn in Tonawanda. No idea if it's still there but pitcher of Molson and a dozen hot wings and I was happy

The other think to consider is that as often as not, some local tavern is going to have fantastic wings. Ask the locals. For my money Duffs is better than Anchor Bar, but when I'm in Buffalo, i'll go to Lebros before either edit: an out of town example of this is (was) Putzy's Tavern on Yates St in Albany. Just a local gin mill that the Albany City workers would come get liquored up at during lunch, that I used to live across the street from. They made fantastic wings

So, they're going to force teams to forfeit? What does that solve for exactly? Vaxed people (I am vaxed, my whole family is vaxed) can still get COVID. So what happens if a team is 100% vaccinated, and through no real fault of their own, has enough people get (a very very mild) case of COVID? They have to forfeit a game even though they followed the rules? Yeah, that's going to go over really well. I guess they think the intense shame it'll generate will make everyone double down and...get a third shot?

This thread will get locked, and this post will get deleted, but the reality for the NFL, and the rest of our civilization, is that if we sit on our hands and demand that everything grind to a halt until we have some number of months with no new cases, we'll never get there. Like every single other viral epidemic in history, we will eventually learn to live with COVID. The arrogance of Government and an unfortunate number of citizens is that there is some magic bullet to get on the other side of COVID. There isn't. As I asked yesterday (in a post that some tweaked out mod deleted almost immediately), if the NFL starts forcing forfeits, are they going to refund tickets? Are they going to pay back DTV for that portion of what they paid for broadcast rights? Are advertisers going to get their money back?

Apple might get Sunday Ticket
dorquemada replied to Buffalo Boy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That's a great point. I'm familiar with the inner workings at AT&T and it seems to me that there's not a lot of stomach for pouring money into a losing scheme any more. DTV is bleeding subscribers, and while I think the DTV streaming only offer is a pretty good option for people who want packages of channels, there just isn't enough back end on it to continue to subsidize the NFL in the hope that you'll add enough subs to make up for it. Either Apple or Amazon are going to way overpay for the sunday games, which means all of us will be expected to overpay as well, or that those business will subsidize the NFL. Apple is the one ecosystem in which i'm not really participating, and not terribly eager to enter in to. Not to mention that my big sports TV is out of HDMI ports lol. At some point, each of us has a number in mind above which we're going to find alternate ways of viewing the games, or just find something else to do. For me, i think approaching $50 a game makes me lose interest, or at a minimum find alternatives. In any case, it'll be interesting. The NFL has managed to defy gravity against most other forms of televised sports, the next few years will be something to watch -
Strangest Bills Jersey You Own

Yes, human beings need to be brainwashed to enjoy beer. Also, up is down, and day is night -
Yeah if Brady couldn't find a way to use him, then good luck wherever he ends up

Wendy’s has the absolute worst French fries
dorquemada replied to Brennan Huff's topic in Off the Wall
Its true, they're absolute garbage, which is a shame because their spicy chicken sandwich is legit. I mean how hard is it to turn the fryer up a little and make your fries crispy? Anyway, they're building a Wendys right up the road, so i'll have a lot to complain about coming soon -
Hard Knox: Dawson Knox Watch
dorquemada replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Agreed. There was a few times later in the season when you could see, in the split second the ball was in the air, that he had total concentration and wasn't going to drop the pass for love or money. That TD against Baltimore (?) he wrapped his whole body around the ball while in the air and went down like a sack of concrete, but held on -
Serious (ok lol not serious) question Would splashing out and adding Ertz & Mack be the smart move? I'm not nuts about mortgaging the future by trading picks or making a mess of the cap unless the pieces you're adding can make a substantial and immediate difference. Im a huge Mack fan, fairly indifferent to Ertz, but don't feel like even together they're going to make the sort of difference their cost would justify
