One of the early years of TDBAHOT, we had thought of doing a bowling tournament there, but one poster started taking it way too seriously, so we scrapped that plan.

I remember that place, it's been torn down for a while now. If I remember, the roof collapsed on the bowling alley side. It was just a matter of time before they tore the whole thing down.

It's probably part of the process.

What jersey number would he get? From this article, he prefers 1, 3, and 13. But 3 and 13 are already taken, and players can't switch in the middle of a season. So would he take 1, or something else?

We’re another day closer.

I've got the Bronco defense on my fantasy team, over 20 points currently. Too bad they're sitting on the bench.

I don't consider mine "random" chance encounters. 1) Jeff Burris. Went to the Indy-Bills game in 2001, the first week for games after 9/11, with a group of Bills Backers. Cindy, a former poster here, was good friends with him and his wife. She was to meet up with him at the Colts hotel the night before the game and took me along. Well, she either left her cell phone in the hotel, or her battery was dead, because she used my cell to call him and let him know we were in the lobby. So, I definitely saved that number in my phone, never called it though. Really nice guy probably spent 20 minutes with us just talking. 2) The Bills - Jags game in London in 2015, I bought a ticket package from a London based tour company that included hotel, tickets to the game, and a meet-and-greet the night before the game which was to include "former Bills Alumni". No mention of who it would be so I'm thinking it's whomever they can get. Walk in late to the pub where it was being held, and there sits up front taking questions, Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas. My wife, then just my girlfriend, whispers in my ear "is that Troy Aikman?" Jim and Thurman stuck around for about 30 minutes or more after their Q&A session was done for autographs and pictures. Both were pleasant to everyone. I really think, based on everyone's stories, Jim got more personable after Hunter was born, and everything that was going on with him.

That's what I do, I have plans depending on how much I win. Plus, I just stick with the subscriptions with Powerball, Mega Millions, NY Lotto, and Cash4Life, so I'm not running to a store every few days to buy a ticket or changing numbers. I may drop Cash4Life, since that's $2/day now, but it's typically the only one I win a few bucks fairly regularly with. But I'm not sure if I should just keep the money I would spend on it or put it towards one of the other games I play. If I put it to something else, it would probably be NY Lotto. Over the years since I started, I know I'm way in the hole, but I don't care. It's a dollar and a dream, multiplied many, many, many times.

I bought a ticket to the world But now I've come back again Why do I find it hard to write the next line? Oh, I want the truth to be said I know this much is true

I used to be addicted. I say used to because I know what my triggers are and to step back when I feel them coming on. I'll still play the lottery, the 50/50 they do at the stadium, etc. Another thing that helped me was a former job I had, repairing slot machines at a local casino. Knowing how they work, and seeing some of the people in there, day after day chasing that thrill of winning $15 after spending $100, makes you more wary of spending money. So set a limit of how much money you can lose and not feel bad about it. If you win more than you put in, take that extra and withdrawal it. Don't add more money in to try and win back what you lost.

Some of the articles, like the one I linked to, called him a "fan". A true fan would have stayed in his seat, watching the game. I refuse to call them a fan.

That's why there is a delay, he's getting some plastic surgery like our buddy Tom In Tampa, to look better when the renderings come out.

Try writing a Hallmark movie, they all follow the same plot.

Years ago, maybe close to 20 now, I was told by a member of Bills staff that running on the field at Rich Stadium was an automatic $1200 fine, a night in jail since courts are not open on Sunday and banned from the stadium. If there's no metal, it's easy to sneak in. One of my BiL's will sneak in those little liquor bottles, making sure first that they have plastic caps, not metal.

I got it from DS, that got it from Bleacher Report, that got it from TMZ. Now I see other sites are reporting it also, even on TikTok I've seen people commenting on it.

Why let your shoulders bend Underneath this burden When my back is sturdy and strong? Trouble me

Coming this fall, she is an international model, he's a football star. Can these two make it work coming from such different worlds? It's "Love On The Gridiron" (yea, the title is not great, open to more suggestions)

We’re another day closer.

There's a doctor in Miami that he could get to check out his leg. I'm sure it will then be reported as a bad back.

… I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide And I'm not so suicidal after all I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide And I'm not so suicidal after all, at all, at all, at all

All of the planet on a wing and a prayer My grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air Upon the clouds I see my shadow fly Out of the corner of my watering eye To dream unthreatened by the morning light Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

Hey (hey), you (you) Get in to my car (Who me?) Yes, you Get in to my car Oh, hey
