  1. Thrilled about this. I recently listened to an archived interview with Neil Young. I think it was from fall of 2014. One of the best interviews I have ever heard. Incredible hearing about his beginnings, sharing an apartment with Rick James, his experience and falling out with CSN&Y, how he was disgusted with all the cameras at Woodstock, and his time partying with Charles Manson. Howard has to be one of the best interviewers of all time. I really liked Howard's "sting operation" and subsequent ban of Bobo this summer too. Also, Bigfoot pressing the red button to nuke Vermont was hilarious. What a great show...
  2. Yikes. A rare no for me. That poor, poor child!
  3. Great! What about Taylor Swift? There are major holes in my morning yard work playlist.
  4. It's the Vice-Treasurer of the Vermont Shower Club, actually. I use the Spotify pay service. It costs me 8 bucks a month and I can listen to whatever I want, whenever I want. There are a few artists that don't allow their music on Spotify though (Beatles). You can make playlists, and even download them so you can play where you don't get Wifi/reception. I love it...worth every penny. Edit: How do you like your speaker? Good as advertised?
  5. Would love to see Buffalo draft Mississipi St. WR, De'Runnya Wilson. Seems to me like a less polished Kelvin Benjamin with huge upside.
  6. Undoubtably a good depth player, but does he fit the scheme? Would he be a 3-4 DE or OLB? I thought he was more of a 4-3 DE.
  7. Good points and I like O'Brien, but IMO, COY has to go to either Rivera or Arians.
  8. Hmmm...I think you kind of dodged my question re: Shady expressing that he wanted to be somewhere else. I don't think the team chemistry, or lack thereof, should fall on his shoulders. I attribute that to poor coaching and frustration due to losing. McCoy's "antics" prior to, during, and after the Philly game were a mistake on his part, but a small sample of what I thought was a very good season for him.
  9. Why do you need gifs and vines? Do you actually pay attention to the individual players on defense? Under Schwartz, Dareus was allowed to penetrate at will and rush the passer. Under Rex, he is asked to occupy blockers and hold the point of attack. Basically a run stuffer...and he has done his job very well. Obviously, both he and Mario were grossly misused by Rex.
  10. Textbook case of Affluenza.
  11. I wondering if you could provide any examples of how/when McCoy expressed that he'd rather be somewhere else. I recall his reaction after the trade happened, but I chalked that up to him feeling betrayed. Learned of his trade via the media rather than from team officials. Not trying to call you out. I just thought he has been a pretty good teammate.
  12. I don't claim to be a football expert, but isn't Lawson a perfect 3-4 OLB? I know he is advancing in years, but again, at the very least you're talking about a reasonably priced depth player.
  13. I think Urbik's salary is reasonable for what he is asked to be. A decent veteran back-up interior lineman. I thought he actually held his own pretty well this year, IMO. I think he is worth keeping around.
  14. Common man! Everyone knows if Buffalo sent Bob Woods to the Eagles he would have gotten 70 receptions for 1300 yards and 12 TD's this year. Kiko would have intercepted 4 passes against the Colts, but then his surgically reconstructed knee would have popped open like a party favor in week 2. Then what kind of thread would you have started? Seriously though, I wonder what pick they wanted along with Woods?
  15. Party at my parents house. Lots of family and friends...about 30 people. Dad does prime rib, steamers, shrimp, and all the fixins. My grandmother used to do 7 types of seafood (Sicilian thing), but she is getting older now so she only does her famous calamari dish. Mom does like 8 different types of deserts plus Italian cookies. Lots of drinks, laughs and good food. After everyone leaves, we bring all the presents down and put them under the tree. My Father and I enjoy a nice cigar on the back deck in front of the fireplace if it's not too cold. Great times and lots of traditions.
  16. Similar thing happened to my IPhone recently and I had to restore to factory settings then back up from the ICloud. Well, turns out my ICloud was full and hadn't backed up since March 2015. I lost everything since that time...pictures of my kids, messages, contacts. Everything. Had to purchase more ICloud space so it wouldn't happen again.
  17. Wouldn't it be fun to knock the Jets out of the playoffs in week 17? Tank schmank!
  18. Billions weren't discovered until the early 90's.
  19. The worst part about the injuries was that I lost a few key players for the season, but was never bad enough to benefit from the waiver wire. So frustrating.
  20. I made the playoffs! Except I lost in week 1. Turns out I should have started Tyrod over Dalton. Horrible, horrible fantasy football year for injuries. Worst I can remember.
  21. 5 catches for 81 yards and a TD is a terrible game?
  22. To call Jerry Hughes for personal foul, taunting.
  23. Uggh...ACC play is going to be ugly with that putrid defense. Silver lining to this cloud is what could be (if everyone stays) a very solid group next year. Next year we will have a true center in the middle of the zone, Paschal Chukwu (7'2" transfer). He's been getting rave reviews from the coaching staff and media about his work in practice. Add in DC2 and potential commit Taureen Thompson for depth down low and we suddenly have a front court presence. Our biggest prize of the 16 class is Tyus "kid mamba" Battle...a 6'6" guard who will probably run the point next to Malachi Richardson. Also bringing highly touted SF Matthew Moyer who is tearing up the high school and club hoops circuit right now. More depth and longer/more athletic at key positions. C: Paschal Chukwu 7'2"/DC2 PF: Tyler Roberson/Tyler Lydon SF: Tyler Ludon/Matthew Moyer SG: Malachi Richardson 6'7"/ Frank Howard PG: Tyus Battle 6'6"/ Kaleb Joseph Hate to look forward to next season already, but things aren't looking good right now. Also, is it just me, or does Hop seem almost lifeless on the bench? As badly as the defense played yesterday, you would think he would be raging mad. IDK...
