  1. Good put me on ignore I could care less that you will no longer reply with ignorance. Now I'm not calling you ignorant, just your posts. That's the game you're playing.
  2. At current interest rates, the difference is negligible on paying extra on your salary and getting a refund, especially with only 12 months of payments in before cashing out. The Christmas Club rates at my bank are 0.5% The best choice is based on lifestyle. I want Super Bowl money & don't have the discipline to put together a Super Bowl fund all year, so I let the government hold my Super Bowl fund until the game. Now with no Super Bowl, I have a few extra thousand to spend recklessly.
  3. You're making a fool of yourself. You insult me because I claimed a geographical advantage in knowing what's going on with NYC sports teams, then claim I'm the one calling you names. Here's some advice, stop digging that hole you're in.
  4. Geographically, I have an advantage in obtaining knowledge of NY teams. That's just the facts that you refuse to acknowledge. If you are living in the NYC area, I'll admit you have better sources, but if you don't live with reach of the NYC media, maybe you're the blowhard.
  5. No. The feds tax SS and I withhold 25%.
  6. I am better informed & hardly spoonfed. The more information one has, the better to come to an informed conclusion. You'll see I was right when Wilson becomes the next EJ Manuel.
  7. I know what I can tell you. I listen to the NYC sports radio stations & have a much better picture on Wilson's lack of development than you have. He got benched due to lousy play. If his attitude improved, then why did he want to sit out the end of this season? The guy on the bench can be well like when he's not screwing up things on the field. Big deal, he stopped blaming others this year. Hackett sucks, but so does Wilson. A perfect storm of bad QB/bad OC.
  8. Wilson is a bust. He was overdrafted to begin with and the staff didn't have much to work with. He came with an attitude & alienated a lot of the players in the locker room by the middle of his 2nd season. It wasn't the coaching staff that messed up Wilson. In Bills terms he's the 2nd coming of EJ Manuel, only Manuel never copped an attitude that lost the locker room. . Wilson never won a playoff game or even got his team into one. Mayfield won a playoff game with Cleveland. The Jets did Wilson like the bust he is.
  9. I'm retired & have a very simple return. All I have is interest, pension & Social Security. My annual interest is on my December bank statement that I get at the beginning of January, my Social Security 1099 comes in the middle of January & my pension 1099 is available either by mail or on-line by the Saturday before the 1st day the IRS accepts filings. I also use the standard deduction, so I don't have to dig for any expenses.
  10. He had plenty of time to sign autographs. He has to hold the NFL record for most consecutive games inactive while still on the main roster.
  11. If the Ravens don't want him teams like Kansas City, Miami, Cleveland, & Cincinnati will want him just to name a few teams that don't care what a player does off the field.
  12. Damar was closer to the Victor Allotey award than comeback player of the year.
  13. I get a decent refund because I want extra money in late January/early February in case the Bills make it to the Super Bowl.
  14. Come On Man! Here's the real story. Lamar won it in 2019 & his stats towered over Josh on paper. Lamar 2019: 66.1% comp %, 36 TDs 9INTs, QB rating 83.0, 1206 rushing yards, 7 TDs. Josh 2019 58.8 comp %, 20 TDs, 9 INTs, QB rating 49.4, 510 rushing yards, 9 TDs

  16. I was checking this year's prices. They were $10-11,000 the week of the championship games, early this week they were down to around $8,000 get in price. Here's the current lowest price ticket on NFL on Location. Their 15% fee is lower than a lot of others, so when you see a low price before fees the fees could be as high as 25-30% Order Details SUPER BOWL LVIII FEBRUARY 11, 2024ALLEGIANT STADIUM SEATS AVAILABLE: 6 - 23 * YOUR SEATS ARE GUARANTEED TO BE TOGETHER SECTION: 345 ROW: 13 QUANTITY: 1 TICKET PRICE: $6,929.00 SERVICE FEE: $1,247.22 SHIPPING: -- DELIVERY METHOD: MOBILE DELIVERY SUBTOTAL: $8,176.22 * KICKOFF CLUB HOSPITALITY AT SUPER BOWL LVIII Orders Summary TICKETS $6,929.00 SERVICE FEE $1,247.22 SHIPPING -- SUBTOTAL $8,176.22
  17. I've been to 6. The 4 Bills ones in the 90s, SBXLVIII & SB50. 1st one I went with the Disney package. I got a cheap flight to Orlando, got a rental car, stayed Thurs night & Monday night in Orlando & Fri-Monday morning at the Bill-Mar hotel in Treasure Island. 2nd one my friend Petrino (old poster here) won the lottery and I got a ticket at face value. I got the flight & motel through Travel USA & had to fly out of Buffalo. 3rd one Petrino won his 2nd straight lottery, we got a super saver flight to LA, split motel, & rental car prices & brought the whole thing in for about $750 each, 4th one we went with Travel USA/Santos Tours out of Buffalo. 5th one I went to was XLVIII at Met-Life. The ticket prices were the lowest in years because the corporate people didn't want to sit outside in February in NJ. I drove down the day of the game, parked at the Stub Hub parking, shuttle bussed to the game & back, and had a motel room in Ramsey NJ. Unfortunately, when I got back to the motel, I found out a snow storm was coming. I woke up at 4, showered & was out of there by 4:30. I was home in about 2 hours & went back to bed. 6th one was SB50 in Santa Clara. I have relatives in the Bay area & promised I'd go to the game with my nephew. He drove to Freemont, we took a bus to the game & back to Freemont & then I stayed at his house when we got back.
  18. Howell really didn't show much promise. In fact, he was benched at the end of the season, but then Jacoby Brissett got injured and they had to send Howell back out there when they had already given up on him.
  19. They made a movie called 80 for Brady about a group of old ladies who get together every Sunday to watch the Patriots & Tom Brady. They end up going to the Super Bowl. The group of seniors who are in a retirement home in Missouri are KC's equivalent of the ladies in 80 for Brady.
  20. You left out the high wire act on Monday Night Football in 1975 https://sportshistorynetwork.com/football/nfl/monday-night-football-fan-hanging-on-rope/ With so many fans across the airwaves watching the game, practically anything that happened during those three hours was going to be discussed along the next day’s work conversations all throughout the country. Well, what happened during the course of this game was in point of fact incredible…and extremely dangerous. An intoxicated fan…I say intoxicated, because no sober person would do what this moron did…decided to take a hold of the rope which held the placekicking net in place along the west end line of the stadium. The spectacle of this unnamed fan dangling at least 50 feet in the air above the playing surface while the game continued was unnerving, to say the least. Even the ABC-TV crew chimed in while watching this spectacle. Howard Cosell, a wordsmith for the ages, described this event as “…dangerous, disgraceful, and absurd.” The fan hung on that rope, as the fans and players watched. Many gasps could be heard over the airwaves, and certainly they were soundly heard by those who were in attendance and who were doing the gasping. This crazy fan hung on that rope for practically 10 full minutes until he somehow miraculously made it back to his departure point on the front row of the upper ledge of Rich Stadium. He then departed the stadium with several police and security personnel giving him a much-deserved escort.
  21. Rodgers, Hackett, Saleh & Douglas will all be gone in 2025.
  22. SEDALIA, Mo. (Gray News) – A group of seniors at a retirement community in Missouri is proving you’re never too old to be a Swiftie. In a video posted Friday, residents at the Primrose Retirement Community in Sedalia dressed in Kansas City Chiefs gear and held signs in support of Taylor Swift. Sedalia is located about 90 miles east of Kansas City. The group calls themselves the Primrose Sedalia Chiefs Cheerleaders. https://www.kktv.com/2024/01/24/senior-swifties-retirement-home-show-off-their-dance-moves-cheer-chiefs/
  23. QBs always make the coach. A lot of fans have it backwards. That's why I say a lot more QBs ruin coaches than coaches ruin QBs.
