I’ve no issues with either sentence you wrote, but what bothers me more is the current use of the verb “do” these days as a catch all for any action. “Yeah, I’ll do a martini with a lemon twist.” ”I’ll do the rigatoni.” it used to be that men would use that verb as part of locker room talk. 😀 Yes, "preventive" is fine for me, haha Your mentioning the use of "do" nowadays is a point well taken. How about "goes" instead of "says"? As in, "he goes 'how do you like that?'" And the use of the past tense of "write" ("wrote") instead of the past participle "written" (as well as other irregular verbs)? My doctor, who is about 20 years younger than I am and Brown educated, said something like "he has wrote". I had to bite my lip from saying anything, lol. I also once emailed a journalist about his usage of something similar, and he actually (and obliviously) defended what he wrote as correct. Don't get me started on "lay" vs. "lie" either. Or "submit" in mixed martial arts ("John submitted him"). Sorry, I can go on and on, as I expect you can.

Dan Darragh Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I was at the preseason game against Green Bay. As I recall there was a player strike so it was a bunch of guys who had no business being in an NFL game. That's why someone gave me the tickets for free. Truly we were just cheering for the laundry.

I remember my dad had that card and us deciding on what games to go to. Thanks for the memory. Exactly the same games that my dad took me to. The Jets game was a hideous weather day. The Bears game was a gorgeous day. Seems like that first preseason game, the HOF game was a strike game with scabs and rookies if memory serves? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namath had a bunch of INTs, and nobody could throw the ball. That is so funny we both went to the same games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha the dream. 2013 was the last 3 home games in Sept stretch NE, CAR, at NYJ, BAL. 2015 was close as the third home game was the Giants October 4th with IND, NE, at MIA, prior and last year was also close with the third home game against Houston October 3rd with PIT, at MIA, and WSH prior. The NFL tries to balance it out so I would think in 2023 Buffalo will probably have four home games by Oct 31st plus we have 9 homes game total next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
