Today I got confirmation from John's son that @John from Riverside (formerly from Hemet and VA) passed away in August from an unexpected heart attack. John was a daily mainstay in our lives here for over two decades. 47,292 posts and that's just from when we started counting in 2006 or so. He was getting ready to pack his bags and move to live with son in Oregon when he passed. Mysteriously, he last logged in March 8th. I had tried to connect with him several times per month since his disappearance, as there wasn't any public reason why he hadn't logged in. Unfortunately, we could not make contact with him or his family until the note I received today. John was a fiercely loyal Bills fan, despite never making it to Orchard Park. We had tentative plans to get him out for this year's tailgate, when he started mentioning health issues. We never got a chance to meet. John was an interesting guy. His deep love for the team made for some emotionally charged discussions. He never met a UDFA he didn't love, nor a ref he didn't hate and rage against their bias. His most well known story goes back to very early days of the community. The community troll (we had no moderating tools back then) liked to have fun with John given John's proclivity to emotional outbursts. This culminated in "Hogboy" challenging John to a helmet-spearing contest in a parking lot. John took this seriously and was ready to strap it on! 😂 John frequently told us about his interesting life. He was in the air force in Iraq where he often told us about his high-level security clearance and attending intelligence briefs. He was a roadie for the Scorpions. He loved his kids and always had dreams of his son making the NFL and his daughter becoming an actress/singer. We would hear about the constant shuttling of his daughter to auditions where he would name drop with best of them. IIRC, he had plenty of stories about Katy Perry, Madonna, Celine Dion, etc... He was a great sport in the shoutbox as the guys there enjoyed ribbing on some of the peculiarities. Topics on conversation included his frequent visits to Subway on campus where he was a grad student advisor, his love of Latina women, and a rotting toe that he proclaimed grew back after disregarding his doctor's advice and he just starting running on it. 😂 Ultimately, John was a great guy who absolutely loved his kids, loved the Bills, and loved the community here. I regret we didn't make plans to meet a year earlier. We are fortunate he decided to make his home here and he will be missed. Go Bills!

100% he was supposed to roll to his right side. The wildcat was supposed to move everyone to the left and Josh was going to run against the grain. But the line collapsed and he had to turn around and go back to his left. At that point he should’ve just ran out of bounds. there was nothing wrong with the play call per se. The execution was beyond horrible.

It's just a joke inspired by the Big Bang Theory...

Celsius? I didn't ask any hippies for an opinion.

i’m not gonna look this up at the moment, but I don’t think the Hilton head airport qualifies as a hub. I am all about the nonstop flights. As many places as I can get to with one leg is where I want to be.

if you buy a house 40 years ago it’s super easy. I just need to get a time machine first. 🙄 what do people think about downtown Manhattan?

let me know when they do something about 350 days of cloud cover. 😃

nah. I haven’t been to a bills backers bar in 15 to 20 years. Home is just fine. when people say Mississippi, Alabama, etc. I think healthcare (or lack of). I also may not be allowed in those states for a variety of other reasons. Lol

I don’t think I could commit to anywhere that doesn’t have water. Lol seems like a important thing to consider. so far Pinehurst is the one that ticks most of the boxes.

Requirements: great golf environment, high-speed Internet, within two hours of a major airport hub Preferably 12 month weather that’s above 45 deg. what do you guys have?

did you ever consider that it is a regular sized watch and maybe he has a dainty wrist?

I just checked and there is an inch and a half of rain coming overnight and into the morning. I went ahead and canceled. 🥺 sorry about that guys.

things aren’t looking too good boys. 😡

I do not. 🙁

that would make four confirmed. Just waiting to hear from @4thandGoal

@Draconator @dhg I have two tee times at 10:00am at Terry Hills in Batavia. That is the best I found. @4thandGoal what is your status?

no price difference. Prime will get closed pretty early this year as it doesn’t look like we’re gonna fill up the 25 spaces or so. I’m trying to remember and past years but I bet it’s closed by 8 AM.

that email is generated through yahoo so I don’t really know what went wrong.

1. SDS 2. SDS wife 3. @plenzmd1 4. @mrags 5. @Draconator 6. Mrs. Draconator 7. @dhg 8. @4thandGoal (+1 or 2) maybe I had two family members dropout and so did bringbackfergy. Please confirm if you’re still interested. We will not be going to Byrncliff because they are aerating the greens a couple days before.

$60. 😳 where is your prime reservation?

Please know whether you will want one prime or one generic parking spot 1. SDS: one prime

we do. But it’s in the context of people wanting to be here, actively contributing to the community without self interest. Be here because you wanna be here. Talk to people because you want to talk to them. I think it’s a fair policy.

He stopped interacting with the community and started posted his own links. Anything written elsewhere could have been discussed here. Unfortunately, he chose not to do that and didn't feel like the rules should apply to him. He is welcome here anytime to discuss the Bills. I have no animosity. It was just a weird position to take.
