This is a must!

True dat. The entire TSW would be suspects here.

Of course it's gimmicky...it's a gimmick to get you to but more merch. I've already seen posts on social media where people are complaining that the jerseys, etc. aren't available until September 10th. The NFL is laughing all the way to the bank...again.

90...Bills, Sabres, Orioles. No real NBA favorite (the Buffalo Braves were not an option). Steelers were among the most woeful...really? With six Lombardis everything should be gravy.

Wasn't there a Final Four held there? Lot easier to attract more events with a downtown dome. Just looked it up, Final Four in 2009 and one coming in 2027.

Well, this is good news:

Yes, Sal C confirmed this earlier this morning.

I remember him as a Rochester Red Wing in the early 70s. Those Red Wing teams he was on were pretty loaded. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=parril001sam

How steep, like the oranges in the Aud steep?

Sal C has been tweeting regularly with video all day.

Fried bologna sandwiches at the concession stands

1:00pm game, early in the season, chance of decent weather.

I grew up in Charlotte and I can remember when an Abbott's cone was 15 cents...I'm sure they're over five bucks now.

Still stuck on Dilly Bars at Dairy Queen, eh?

Yup, Raiders-Skins was Facenda's last Super Bowl, and he delivered what I think is his most memorable line: "On came Marcus Allen, running with the night." Facenda was recognized at the HOF, but agree, he needs a bust in Canton. https://www.profootballhof.com/news/2021/06/john-facenda-named-2021-pete-rozelle-radio-television-award-winner/

Allergic to all kinds of nuts and nut products.

Eat a peanut butter sandwich (I'm allergic).

If you're old and over 50, Kevin Gallagher and @Ol_TimeFootball are two of the best follows on X. Heck, if you're under 50, check them out too, if you can put down your Madden controller...

I'm now thinking that if he's not signed by the weekend, it's going to linger until right before the opener. Not good for either side. The Bills could do some good PR by announcing the signing right before the Giants game Saturday. Something to give the fans since Josh will be in street clothes.

Listening to Beane the other day on WGR, what struck me is when he said that this is the first time he's had a player hold out or hold in...I think he takes great pride in that and he's pissed about the current situation, especially since Cook was the first player this off season they tried to extend. Maybe the framework of a deal is close and each side needs to create a scenario that saves face...who knows. But if this isn't resolved by the weekend, I think it's going to get real ugly, real fast. I hope I'm wrong here, but the longer this goes, the more the likelihood of serious ill will developing between Cooke and Beane, and that's not good for either side.

Spent all my formative years in Rochester. As I always say, it's a good place to be "from." During the 60s and 70s, your father and your friend's fathers worked at Kodak and the area thrived in the post-war boom...when I left in 1985, the Big Yellow Box employed 55,000 Flower City residents...now it's down to a trickle of that but Rochester has seemed to bounce back relatively well from the glory days of manufacturing. I keep in tune to some of the community pages on social, and as others have said, look to the eastern suburbs for a better, and safer, quality of life.

I'm old and it's lights out around 9:30...so I'll catch it tomorrow or later in the week. With all the video and on the ground reporting, i.e. Sal C, Astro, etc. yeah it might be different seeing guys in the dining hall or the dorms, but I feel anything we need to know these days is pretty much reported in real time.

Every year they trot out some fashion that's worse than the last season's...glad to see that they're at least consistent.

The "Sandberg Game" remains one of the best regular season games of all time...I was watching with two Cardinal fans who were going absolute bonkers after his HRs.
