Metal Man

Played a ton of Euchre in high school and college when I lived in the Buffalo area. Then when I moved to the Syracuse area no one had ever heard of it. It is all Pitch around here. Used to play on yahoo a lot when they still had live games and it seemed like most of the people I would meet on there were from WNY, Ohio, or Canada so if definitely seems somewhat regional.

There is a place like this right downtown in the canal side area, near the arena, attached to a kid's museum called Explore & More. They have Bills stuff along with other Buffalo sports teams and things just for Buffalo in general. It has a small boutique like feel and my wife, who also enjoys those types of stores, loves this place and always insists on a browse there when we are in the area.

I have been thinking they would go down that road as well. A lot of interesting story angles to play around with the idea of two different personas and a pregnancy. That is right about the same time my friend's wife gave up on it too. She was adamant that there was no way they would be able to wrap all of the mysteries up and explain it well. We laughed it off at the time but in retrospect she was way ahead of the curve.

I guess this is ok as a time saver but I actually kind of like the drama of waiting to see where that chain lines up when the chain gang comes out. Guess I am old school.

Severance is a fantastic show. So many interesting concepts to wrap your mind around. Also great for discussion. I don't remember talking as much about a show week to week with coworkers since maybe Lost. However I'm also worried some of this won't really lead to anything cohesive like Lost as well.

I agree this feels like a Bills landing spot assuming they won't repeat from last year's teams. I'm thinking Cincy@Buffalo sounds about right, or maybe Philly.

I don't get why people are so against the chains. Unless you initially measure wrong when creating them I don't see how they can be inaccurate. The problem is spotting the ball. That seems to me to be the area that needs electronic assistance.

The refs and the league didn't think so based on the flag and subsequent fine.

Way too many specific football game memories to list them all out. In general though I will always remember my earliest visits as a kid with my Grandma. She would always bring a thermos with hot cocoa for the cold games when you were still allowed to bring stuff like that in. Small things like that really added to the magic of that place as a kid. For non football though I will never forget the Metallica / Guns and Roses concert in 1992. That was an insane time.

Congrats! Celebrating 10 on a cruise this August as well.

I'm sure it will be a big talking point this season. I recall it being a thing during the 2019 season when the Pats*** were looking to reach their 4th straight.

Well technically you'd have to throw the Cardinals in there as well seeing they were a part of that division for the first 4 Super Bowl losses. 😈😁

I've seen a handful of posts in this thread, and probably 100 more over the course of the season, crushing Beane for not trading up and picking Brian Thomas Jr. Do we know for sure that he didn't try and and make a move to get somewhere above Jacksonville? I'm asking honestly because so many people on the boards are so convinced that we had the chance to go up and get him, and just decided not to, that I am assuming that I missed an interview or something that confirmed this.

Seems like SU is going to start falling farther behind because of the NIL and transfer portal regardless of who is heading the program. They just don't have the billionaire boosters needed to write the checks like a lot of the bigger programs do. Adam Weistman might have helped but I have been hearing that the university has been wanting to distance themselves from him now.

The problem with all of these top announcing teams is that none of them seem to realize the main attraction is the game itself and not who is announcing it. The product is the game and the players and the only purpose these guys serve is to sell the game. No one cares about their opinions or stupid anecdotes. Just give the play by play and let the color guy add a statistical tidbit here and there. That is what the best crews do imho. The networks seem to be confused by it too by trying to market their personalities and constantly putting them on camera. I would prefer to never see who these guys are. They are doing their best job if I barely notice them and don't even know who they are.

Every year young kickers coming out are getting better and better. Just scout well and draft our own Aubrey on day 3. There will be much better players/positions to be found with the 3rd or 4th round picks being talked about here.

It would be interesting if they wanted to take Sanders. I saw yesterday that Deion said he didn't want his son to play for a cold weather team. Would be some kind of poetic justice on the Giants if they had a father stepping in and saying his son won't play for NY if they draft him considering how that same thing went down with Eli and Archie Manning.

Mustard for sure. It has more use cases for me. I can do a burger and hotdog with just mustard if need be but ketchup doesn't work on sausage, pretzels, cheese/crackers, and most meats for subs/sandwiches. Also mustard is a needed base for a lot of dipping sauces, dressings and marinades. The only thing I can think of that would miss ketchup is french fries, but I can eat those plain or dip them in something else like hot sauce and/or blue cheese.

As far as talking too much, he can't be as bad as Collinsworth. That guy just can never seem to stfu and let things happen. Every single second of air time between plays he has to be droning on about something or someone. The way he gushed over Lamar making a simple jump cut in the hole was hyberbolic absurdity. With the color guys, less is definitely more.

Where are all the arguments about how keeping people on the 53 who are only good at special teams is a waste of a roster spot? I thought I read a bunch over the summer how stupid McD every year for overvaluing players based on their special teams abilities.

Second the hike up Diamond Head. Wasn't a very intense climb and had some cool views. I also really enjoyed the Polynesian Cultural Center. https://www.polynesia.com/ It is on the opposite side of the island from Honolulu but if you have a car it isn't a long drive and there is some nice rural scenery along the way. Also they do a big authentic LuAu in the evening so you can knock that off the list as well while there.

I thought the same thing when they first opened the place in Syracuse Jack is talking about until I gave it a try. They used to have full service waiters bringing people stuff whenever they wanted but surprisingly it wasn't very distracting at all. Much less of an annoyance than the person a couple rows in front of you who is shining that bright screen for the rest of the theater while on their phone the entire film. 😡
