my statement is petty and stupid. and i know that. i'm just a guy who likes the laundry associated with a town i've not lived near since 1987

seems pretty common here.
 

both stupid statements AND people that haven’t stepped foot in Buffalo in 40 years

Every time I see something like this, I just picture the recipient trying the key all over town and finding it doesn’t actually open anything. 

 

I know every engineer on every train, 
All of their children, and all of their names
And every handout in every town
Every lock that ain't locked, when no one's around

He’s been busy- getting the Key tonight, going to the hallmark premier last night.  I hope this means he is guaranteeing no bonehead penalties or o-line breakdowns on Sunday.

I'm going to get ridiculed for this but i want this team to focus on football right now.

 

i'm all for championing the community, outreach and support for the community, and being a great person... but right now every player should be nose deep in the playbook, film, and field.

Especially Dion - he was terrible against the Fins. Worst I’ve seen from him in a long time

Well, Josh is spending more time in front of a camera than his wife the actress, so why not? 

 

I (half) kid, but he’s on commercials non-stop these days! I love the guy, but it’s not a great look right now. 

 

You do realize that he did those in his off time right? You really think he's doing commercials during the season? He can't do commericals because the team is in a funk?

This was already pointed out to Augie and he's already responded... he was just kidding but still thinks it's bad optics.

 

Both posts are on page 2.

I know that one... yes, I'm old.

Oh my bad I didn't see anything that showed you were joking.

Players do commercials in-season. Jim Kelly talked about flying out and doing a Nuprin commercial on his off-day during the week in his biography.

I worry a little that the driven-to-succeed Josh is being replaced by a complacent-with-success Josh.

I hope Shnowman had a great day. Really good player and even better person (judging by what I’ve read).

You’ve got McCartney at KeyBank and Wicked at Shea’s tonight. Seems unnecessary to create more congestion downtown by scheduling something completely random at a randomly dumb time. 

Saw Sir Paul last night - just incredible what he is able to do at 83 yrs old - 2 hr show without a break and him front and center the entire time (band actually getting breaks while he performs solo at times).  Saw same tour 3 yrs ago in Wake Forest stadium - pretty much exact same show didnt really notice any fall off from him at all.  Was cool seeing in more 'intimate' arena venue vs stadium

At one point I could sing it. I can no longer sing it. I get twisted up.

How much were your McCartney tickets? How full was the house?

 

Also, did anyone attend the key ceremony for Dion?

I didn't go but it sold out instantly the only thing available were reposted tickets for crazy markups 

 

It was literally like 450-500 bucks behind the stage nose bleeds when I was looking at ticket prices yesterday

Arena was full.  As far as price let's just say at least it was less than 1K :p. Got good seats when they first went on sale and think they eventually came down a bit (was partly a gift for my daughter - was on her bucket list)

Floor tickets yesterday we're going for like 3000+ dollars

 

Crazy
