I feel sad for a lot of posters on here. This is a man when literally faced with death kept the most upbeat, optimistic, cheerful attitude that I have EVER seen. This man traveled to games far and near against his doctors orders to attend the games of the team he loved. Not in a push to be recognized as a high-profile NFL fan, no, he did that already pre-cancer. He did it because he said F cancer. It may take me, but I'm going to enjoy my life to the fullest while I still can. Oh, and he also took the time while he was dying to set up a foundation for kids to get backpacks to capitalize on his story. He didn't try to get rich, he tried to help others. He accomplished a lot in the worst of situations. And he just so happens to be a fan of my team. I'm damn proud of it. And I don't care that Jimbo didn't visit him.

The Final Countdown vs Eye of the Tiger
Mark80 replied to Teddy KGB's topic in Off the Wall Archives
That album is on point. The studio one with that tune on it that is. Bought the vinyl a few months ago! Homme is pretty much unrecognizable in that video. You dig that "stoner rock" type genre I highly recommend checking out Egypt's self-titled EP. Only 4 songs. Damn good if you can find it on youtube. -
Have the Bengals become anyone's 2nd favorite team?

The Final Countdown vs Eye of the Tiger
Mark80 replied to Teddy KGB's topic in Off the Wall Archives
While I disagree with Freedom as a pump up song because it has so much "slow" time in it. Bulls on Parade, along with plenty of others would be a fine choice. I'll even add to it some Audioslave ones...Gasoline anyone? I can get pumped by Zack or Chris, no problem. -
The Final Countdown vs Eye of the Tiger

Yeah...no. One word. Rage. -
Man did I love looking at my dads vinyl of this as a little kid! Now I have it and the self-titled (along with all his other records that survived). My pops used to always listen to The Cars in the basement working out. A memory that has, obviously, stuck with me through the years.

So, what I'm reading is that your entire family is filled with bandwagoners?!?! I hear what you are saying, but I'm still not quite there yet. I was waiting for the implosion all second half still. Gonna take a while to heal those scars!

Man, Great weekend for some Money Line Plays
Mark80 replied to plenzmd1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
As I said earlier in the thread, the underdogs on the money lines are tough. If you didn't go for the big ones, you would have came out on top. -
Man, Great weekend for some Money Line Plays
Mark80 replied to plenzmd1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I rarely bet on the underdog with the money line. I've come to the realization that the odds makers are, indeed, better than I am at knowing what they are talking about. Give me the -300s / -400s / -500s all day. Sure, your pockets don't grow as fast, but they grow more consistently. Few years back I put $50 into an account. Mostly betting baseball money lines it's now up to over $600. Is it a crap ton of money, no. But its growing at about 33-50% per year with my philosophy of cherry picking the best favorites on the money lines and putting 10% of my balance on it. -
One of his passes last night was so weak and off target that Aikman thought it got deflected...spoiler alert...it didn't. He just threw it that way. He looks like he is running in slow motion too. I'm leaning towards he is done as an effective QB.

Tee Higgins future bills receiver
Mark80 replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
CeeDee is alright, but all his big plays are just great catches. Jeudy will make those and also make crazy plays after the catch. He is much faster and quicker. I like Shenaults speed and ability to take a handoff, but he just doesn't have that make tacklers miss in the open field juke move like Jeudy. Shanault just runs away from everyone...but in the Pac 12. I mean look at these plays, he's ridiculous. -

Much rather do a Julio Jones type trade for Jeudy. He is worth it. -
Honestly, the only downside to Buffalo is the high taxes (Property, income, school, and sales) and if you aren't a fan of snow, well, probably not a good fit. Besides that, the temperatures in the summer and winter are actually pretty moderate because of the proximity to the lake. There is a huge revitalization going on, housing is very affordable, good schools. People are nice in time of crisis (like snow storms), but you are not going to get every person that you walk by saying hello to you or every grocery store checkout employee talking to you for like 5 minutes, like it is in the south. Maine is a beautiful place that I would also consider. The downside there, IMO, is there really is a lack of diversity from what I saw. Maybe that's a good thing for you, but from a Cali perspective I would guess that it is not. (This is southern coast of Maine and its my only experience there). Vermont has a lot of nice attributes as well, but I haven't visited yet.

Edmunds, Oliver & Morse are a great foundation

Must be the smallest choir in the history of choirs. He basically preaching to 2 or 3 people here. -
Josh Allen's "awful" 1st half...THIS is the article to read
Mark80 replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Also, EVERY QB IN THE LEAGUE has errant throws every game. Every. Single. One. -
What make YOU think that AB isn't smart? And even if he isn't a Rhodes scholar, you do not have to be brilliant to understand what you want and then pay top dollar for Agents, PR firms, Social Media experts and Videographers to make it happen for you. That is what I believe happened. He told Drew what he wanted and Drew probably guided him on how to do it. That is just my opinion on it. It was just too crazy.

AJ Green recovery slower than originally expected
Mark80 replied to Estro's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This has always been dumb to me. Sure, Shazier type injuries, career ending ones, or head trauma ones I will never want to see happen to anyone. But other injuries? Come on. These guys have access to the best medical professionals in the world, are compensated handsomely for the risk, and if it provides my team a competitive advantage, then why not feel some joy in them losing a great player for our game? -
Agree. This was his plan the entire time. They wouldn't trade him to NE from Pitt so he pretended that he would take a trade elsewhere with full intention of being a problem so he would get his release and be able to join whatever team he wanted. If he didn't agree to an extension with the Raiders, they wouldn't have done the deal, so he did it, knowing he was going to get out of it with his crazy behavior. I mean, they already had the deal worked out. So obvious. I fully expect him to behave now and put up insane numbers. Its f'n BS.

Mosley injury, Dabol play calling or both?
Mark80 replied to BuffaloMatt's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The "bad luck" of having a missed FG pales in comparison to the "bad luck" of fumbling a snap, having 2 passes intercepted off of deflections, and losing another fumble. Just sayin'. -
Bills (1-0) at Jets (0-1) Postgame thread
Mark80 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Good teams win a few games that they are not supposed to win. We shouldn't have won this game when we were down 16-0. But we kept at it, continued to battle, got a few breaks (when the Jets got them all in the first half), and pulled it out. This win gives me a lot of hope for this season and the core group as a whole. -
What brands do you swear by? I'm looking to start building a better tool collection and would prefer one go to brand for battery sharing purposes mostly. So what do you use? Looking for the best value, not cheapest. Willing to pay for quality but do not need professional level stuff. Mostly to be used around the house, maybe some simple remodeling, but nothing too crazy. Will be moving into a 100 year old house though so you never know what is going to come up. So far, the leader seems to be Milwaukee from my research.
