  1. I liked most of my bosses, except the one who fired me.
  2. Since the study was with mice, the best results probably come from smelling mouse farts.
  3. This is why I buy new: The tires are always new. I got screwed at 17 buying a used car & I vowed to never buy used again. I buy new & run them into the ground. My current car is 15 years old, with less than 58,000 miles & since I don't drive much anymore it will probably last me the rest of my life. My last 2 cars before this one lasted 10 years & 13 years, both over 100k miles.
  4. Playing Madden with him on the Eagles.
  5. West Hartford brings back some bad memories. In 1978 4 of us were transferred from the Erie County reval to one in West Hartford. When they 1st brought us in to the office in the Rath Building, they told us we wouldn't be able to afford to live on our own in Connecticut & we'd have to pair up & room together. Right there I should have know better & backed out but I went to Connecticut, leaving my apt. 1.5 miles from Rich Stadium behind. We ended up in 2 efficiency apartments with virtually no furniture in Hartford. The West Hartford project went OK, but then we moved on to Rocky Hill. The boss there & I had problems from day 1 & I got fired a month after going to Rocky Hill. I ended up back at my parents house in LI having lost the appraisal career I wanted. It eventually turned out OK when 16 months later I moved back to Buffalo & went back to work on the Niagara County reval & eventually had a 28 year career as an appraiser with the state. Whenever I think of my time in Connecticut, I still view going there as the biggest mistake of my life.
  6. The Colts are signing Gates later this week😁
  7. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned 6-7 is the KC Chiefs record. Josh Allen: Superman Patrick Mahomes: 6-7
  8. I thought of the Denver game immediately after the 2nd interception.
  9. I have 158 full sized programs from Bills games (a few road games included plus another 12 from non Bills games for a total of 170). For the record, the last time a full sized program was regularly for sale at the stadium for Bills games was the last home game in 2002. I haven't been to any recent playoff games so I don't know if any full sized programs were sold at playoff games.
  10. In the 12/4 episode of the TV show Elsbeth, an athletic director at a college is murdered. The suspects include the basketball coach and his young girlfriend. The coach is an old, former NBA head coach with multiple NBA championships who has been hired to coach the college team & his girlfriend is a young woman who some have accused of running his life & the team. Also during his NBA career, the coach has been accused of clandestine taping. If you don't plan on seeing this & want a fuller recap with the ending spoiler, here is a review: https://www.vulture.com/article/elsbeth-recap-season-3-episode-8-basket-case.html Side note for those who don’t follow football: Coach W. and Peyton are clear, if very fictionalized, analogues for University of North Carolina (and formerly, New England Patriots) football coach Bill Belichick, and his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. Like Coach W., Belichick is a legend in his sport who moved into college coaching after winning six Super Bowls. Belichick is currently in his second year of coaching at UNC. The Tar Heels’ 2024 season ended with a 4-8 record, their first since 2018 not to qualify for any bowl game.*** Like Peyton, Jordon Hudson is considerably younger than her partner and rumored to wield controversial influence on and off the field. I’m sure we’ll be grateful for further details and insights that more informed viewers share in the comments! ***-Obviously this is wrong since this is Belichick's 1st season as a college coach.
  11. How about all the Bills failed 1st time head coaches? The only 1st time NFL (AFL) head coach ever in the team history with a winning record as Bills HC is McDermott. Meanwhile, the other 9 1st time HCs all had losing records. That's a 10% hit mark.
  12. It should consist of teams that have never won a Super Bowl instead of going by that year's standings. 👿
  13. Sal Capaccio was only an extra playing a guy named Mike who was part of the stadium construction group. I believe he was the only one associated with the Bills that didn't play himself. He should have been on the sidelines playing himself instead.
  14. I thought the uniform 33 said Anderson. I looked it up & Colt Anderson wore #33 in 2016 & 2017. The uncle's girlfriend moved away, that's why he couldn't find her. The only reason they found her was she was visiting her sister for Christmas.
  15. Trying to score a TD with virtually no time left because he knows how bad the D is if Houston gets the ball down 3.
  16. If he never returns, he could be in line for the Vontae Davis Memorial Award.
  17. If you're willing to stay up until after 3 AM, do the family stuff blocking out all knowledge of the game & at 12:15 AM turn on the NFL Network & watch the rebroadcast.
  18. Giants have a bye, so Fox should still show the game in Albany.
  19. Looking back at the Coleman optimism. My opinion is the 17th post on the 1st page & I got a lot of negative feedback.
  20. I'll nominate Boogie Basham. The Bills had an opportunity to trade down & took Boogie instead. He lasted 2 years, never started a game playing in 23 games & then was traded for virtually nothing. In fact, his stats say he has never started a game in his NFL career.
  21. They still owe us for the Losman trade-up.
  22. I went back to Red Baron frozen pizza as my lunch on gameday. Last week vs Miami I ate a restaurant made pizza-never again!
  23. Belichick planning on an NFL return. Reconnaissance mission.
