Business in general is cold man. I left my old company in June last year and then found out like a week ago they fired every remote employee (which I was) the week of Thanksgiving last year. My old boss called me to tell me I got out at the exact right time
About 6 years ago I was working as a field tech for a national service company. Paychecks and expenses were starting to come late, like hours or a day or two from the norm. I looked at a former company I had worked for and they happened to be hiring, so I emailed the owner asking if they wanted me back. He said yes. Put in my two weeks notice. On my last day I started reaching out to the company I had been with about meeting up with someone to return some equipment and tools I had. No answer. Next week, still trying to get someone, no replies. About two weeks later I heard they shut the doors and everyone was let go. I was one of the lucky ones, I was only out about $1700 in expenses that were not paid back. Others who stayed were out about a months worth of pay plus expenses. But hey, I ended up with a nice hammer drill, an 8" tablet, and some other odds and ends.

Didn't this happen to another player last year? Same scenario, team sends out a Happy Birthday tweet, hours later team sends out tweet that player was cut/released.
EDITs, these were all in 2023
EDIT: Found it, Packers with Jonathan Garvin
EDIT 2: Browns did it also, to Michael Dunn
EDIT 3: Jets and Chris Glaser

Right, which is why I assumed that all NFL teams owned their own planes, and had the interiors configured to have many giant seats. Like, 60 or more. I guess not though? But bottom line is that we rank 32nd out of 32. I’m not cool with that.
I thought the Bills just get charters from Delta, using whatever was available. Not a specifically modified plane.

You never watched the show? You are lucky because doing so will provide you with hours of enjoyment, or so I think.
Btw, I never watched Star Wars.
I've got a lot of other shows I watch, according to my TV tracker app, I'm over 300 episodes behind all the shows I watch.

Never watched the show but this may be of interest to most of you....

QuoteWith the right amount of cash and a sprinkle of luck, you'll now be able to sit like Tony Soprano without heading over to Bloomfield, New Jersey. Basically, you'll be able to sit like Tony in your own house—or office, or wherever else you'd decide to place the famous booth that is now at Holsten's in Bloomfield, where the last scene of the iconic hit show The Sopranos was filmed.

I've had many breeds in my 45 years, and pit/mutt mixes from the pound are the most loving, affectionate and loyal dogs I've ever had

My ex wife for some reason got in in her head that I needed a dog, ignoring the fact I was typically on the road M-F and she would be the one to take care of it. We ended up with a pit mix (I forgot the official breed name they said it was) from the local Humane Society. First time we took it to my parents house, my nephews were there visiting, I believe both were less than 10 years old. The older of the two runs right up to the dog, grabs both sides of it's face, and I'll tell you, I had a moment of panic because this was the first child that I knew was interacting with the dog. Thankfully it did not do anything but start licking my nephews face. We ended up taking the dog back within a few weeks, because like I said, with me on the road, and my ex's medical issues, she realized she could not take care of it properly. We did recommend to the shelter they look for a family with kids that can play with it for the next owner. Later that year, the shelter send out a "year end" newsletter. In that newsletter was a picture of the dog we had with their new family, so I'm glad it did get adopted.

Remember back in Bandcamp when we won 34,000 Superbowls and we scored 26000 pts in 14 season! 😂
No, I only remember someone putting a flute where it normally doesn't go.

That torn one is "Game Used" wouldn't that make it more valuable ?
Yes, because it's proof someone was there.

This article helps clear up one question on PSLs, how they will be paid...
What Bills season ticket holders need to know about PSLs (spectrumlocalnews.com)
Basically...
1) Pay in full immediately
2) Pay over the next two years
3) Pay over 10 years with a loan from M&T
Thanks to @Hammered a Lot for the link to the article.

The price is insane. I get the historical nature of the game but a collector such as myself I could never see myself shelling out 500 for the unused ticket.
There are Josh Allen autographed jerseys there for half that price. I get that it's rare for an unused ticket, but really should start the pricing at $100.

The latest step in the process, STH's will now have a second account executive to deal with for the new stadium, different than their current account rep. Just got this email...
QuoteDear Jack,
Thank you for being a loyal Buffalo Bills Season Ticket Member! I'm excited to introduce you to Natalie Diable, your dedicated new stadium Account Executive who will guide you every step of the way on the journey to the New Highmark Stadium. While your new stadium Account Executive will answer all questions related to the new stadium, I will continue to be your point of contact for your season tickets at the current stadium. Natalie Diable will reach out with a direct introduction via email later this week, but in the meantime contact information is also listed below.

PS: We may have gone to school together if you saw the post title and had the following come to mind.
I'll always remember, back in the Empire Sports Network days, he was on the Paul Maquire show with Steve Christie. Paul mentions that Christie contract was up, and would have to be renewed. Christie laughs and throws his arm around John, but Butler has this shocked look on his face, like he did not know. That very next season Butler was gone to San Diego.
My other JB story, Hall Of Fame induction for Jim Kelly, leaving the area on our bus we are following a car, and come across a police sawhorse blocking the road. The driver of the car in front of us gets out and moves it. As he turns to get back in his car, we realize it's John Butler.

Again, I’m not familiar with how these auctions work, but if I’m an owner of a storage facility, and someone stops paying, and then I become the owner of the stuff in an unpaid unit, I sure as hell go into that unit the very day I become the new owner of the stuff to paw through it and see if there’s anything good/valuable in it, and if there is, I take that stuff for myself. And in this case, the second I see a gun safe (or any type of safe in any unit) I immediately take this unit off the roster of auction units until I go through ALL the stuff in there, but especially the safe.
Are there laws preventing what I’m suggesting above? I wouldn’t think so…I would think the same principle would apply anytime you leave an item (or items) at: a computer repair shop, an automotive repair shop, a tow yard, a consignment shop, etc.
There may be laws, or it's written into the contract, but think of it this way. When I was renting, a 10x10 was about $100/month. If I go three months without paying, and it goes to auction, if someone pays the storage site $2000 for the contents, the storage facility just made $1700 by sitting on a locker that only owed $300. Plus not having to take the time to deal with cleaning out a unit and selling all the stuff is a time saver too.

Never watched the show that deals with these auctions, but do they really bid on them before they unlock it and roll up the door, sight unseen, or do they bid after the door is open and they can at least see what's in it (not rummage through it, but just get a look from 5-10 feet away)?
The one I went to they open the door first before the bidding starts. -
I used to watch some of the storage auction shows years ago, yea there's some made up drama, but depending on the one you watch, it's pretty close to what actually happens. I did go to one accidently one time, I was at my own storage locker the same day they were doing an auction. The regulars do know each other and joke around about "so and so will buy that pile of crap." There was one locker I remember had only a couch in it, no cushions. I think it went for $1 to someone that had already bought another locker.
If I were to get into it, with my luck I'd be the one paying $500 for a locker worth $20.

The internet and cheap technology has also given everybody with an ounce of talent and ambition a platform to self-record and share their music, comedy, or with the world. There are a number of popular musicians and comedians who got their start by self recording and releasing their material on YouTube and TikTok. That would have been utterly impossible in the golden age of Studio rock.
Matt Rife is a good example. He got famous sharing his audience work at his comedy shows on TT. Started having sell out shows a year in advance, selling so many tickets, that venues were adding multiple shows. Then his Netflix special came out, and people saw how bad his actual comedy is, and now you really don't hear anything about him.

This was for first female coach in CFL which there were a number of articles on Dana Beattie, the Toronto Argonauts Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach, who joined the organization in 2018 according my article database. There were similar articles on first NFL coach and first NFL referee. Most of the articles previously indexed have been locked down or removed although I do not know reason. If I have time I will check wayback.
Not this one...

My name is Earl ran for four years. Last show was a cliffhanger and was canceled before season five.
Have you checked out Greg Garcia's other show "Guest Book"? If you liked MNIE, you'll like Guest Book.

I hear more songs from the 70s in advertising and media than any other decade. Do decades even have tangible 'sounds' anymore?
Was watching Don't Tell Mom The Babysitters Dead last night with TW. I mentioned during the movie that it had a very 1980's soundtrack. She mentions it was made in 1991. I said it still has that 80's sound with all the background music.
