Picked up a growler of Rock Art (Morrisville, VT) 50 State Porter last night to enjoy with my steak dinner. I've been on a dark beer kick lately. Seems to be my pattern in the fall until I get tired of it. Drank a couple tall boys of Heart of Lothian Scottish Ale after work yesterday with a neighbor friend. Great little brewery in Middlebury, VT. Relatively low ABV (I think 5.2) beer that has a nice, full flavor but you can drink all day if you wanted to.

They looked better than I had anticipated. I really like Sidibe in the middle. Great recruiting job by GMac to reel him in. He's gonna be a good center for years to come. Battle is gonna be Battle. He's our best player by far, and it looks like he put on 20 pounds of muscle. I'm concerned about scoring, but I think we way be able to put something together between Howard, Brissett and Thorpe. Brissett seems to have tons of potential, and Thorpe can really take it to the hoop. The zone looked pretty darn good. Moved well for this stage in the season with a lot of new players. Not a bad start against a very mediocre Ivy League team. How bout Cal getting stomped and Pitt going down to Navy?

Bwahahahaha!!! Get real...

Twitter to follow sports and my favorite comedians. TBD for Bills football. I have a Facebook page to post announcements for the HS lacrosse team that I coach, but I don't use it for personal reasons.

I'm anticipating a tough year for the Orange. Very young team. A lot of talented but very raw guards/small forwards. Not much size. They will struggle mightily in ACC play. Next year will be much better.

Good season overall, but a little disappointing. The sister episode was frustratingly dumb, IMHO. So much needed to happen before the finale. The ending seemed clumsy and hurried. Still a good show, however, and I hope (as others have stated) that this season is a build up to future seasons. Max's brother is annoying. Shouldn't Steve be dead or in a coma after the beating he took at the end? Perhaps the most satisfying moment of the season was watching Bob get devoured by the alien dogs.

Cuse/Cornell tonight at 7:00. Boeheim versus Boeheim!! Love me some college basketball...

Anyone know if there are still Mr. Shoes pizza joints in Rochester? I swear, my roommates and I kept that place in business while we were living in Seabreeze (Irondequoit). Great pizza and even better wings.

Goodness...I clicked on your link and now my phone has AIDS. Great...

Sahlens are trash, IMO. Hoffmanns or Zweigels

Sometimes my wife will buy fresh fruit, like a bunch of green apples, for a table centerpiece in the summertime. She gets pissed if I eat one of the pristine apples before we have guests over for dinner. I should be able to have the apples in my home, and eat one or two If I want right? Have my apples and eat them too? After all, I make more money than her so those apples are more than half mine, right?!

Ever more exciting than the most exciting event all year for bills fans???

CGF...I have a good milk-steak recipe for you if you like boiled hot dogs. Delicious.

Easy. Root for the Bills, but root for your brother to play well. You can have your cake and eat it too.

EXACTLY! Let's panic when we see him on the inactives list. Players who are playing with soreness miss practices all the time.

Naive, arrogant kids. Many of us were there at one point in our lives. It's sad that it's so easy to dislike the Ball kids because of their douche canoe of a Father. These kids won't face any serious consequences, although if they did it may be to their benefit in the long run. Although I disagree with the folks clamoring for caning and other extreme forms of punishment. That stuff ain't right, IMHO. Perhaps China could release them with the condition that they lose a year or two of NCAA eligibility. That would sting.

This^^ Not to mention the defense was on the field for almost the entire game. Tough to maintain motivation when the offense isn't doing their part.

Nope

Invariably! Dilly Dilly!!

Good idea! I'll bundle it with my toenail clipping that bears a slight resemblance to Benecio Del Toro, and my brother's front tooth which was knocked out by Cornelius Bennett in a bar fight on Chippewa Street.

Interesting. A D-2 quality laxer from Louisiana. You must be a youngster. May I ask where you played? I did 2 years under Werhum at Herkimer CC, and then 2 years at Nazareth as a M/LSM. Coach varsity in Vermont now. and agreed...f hogan and the pats.

You play with Chris Hogan by any chance?

Hmmm...gingers don't have a soul. But a potato chip shaped like a ginger? Good question.

Tried to but it freaked out! Something about how potato chips believe having their photograph taken steals their soul. Took me 30 minutes of diaphragmatic breathing to calm him down and re-gain his trust.
