OT…Have sports debate shows run their course?
Metal Man replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall
The worst part about them is that these days there doesn't seem to be a lot of discussion on topics that veer outside of the "ESPN Accepted Opinion", so at least half of the time you get the same opinion parroted by 5 different panel members or people arguing over something they appear to actually agree on. -
Reader's Digest names Buffalo the "nicest place in America"
Metal Man replied to JÂy RÛßeÒ's topic in The Stadium Wall
Tom Brady*** posts on TBD? -
Funny topic for me to come across as my wife has been on a "Fall Movie" kick the last couple of weeks. So far we have watched Mystic Pizza and School Ties. Not sure if Mystic Pizza fully qualifies but School Ties was definitely a fall movie.

NFL Week 1 2023 (September 10) TV Broadcast Maps and Schedule
Metal Man replied to chongli's topic in The Stadium Wall
Won't complain about seeing the Eagles smack around the Pats*** but it seems like Mia@LAC would have been the much better game to showcase nationally for CBS in their late slot. I know, markets and what-not, but just based on competition alone you'd think that game would get a strong consideration. Could play heavily into potential tie breaking scenarios down the line. -
Assuming the odds are +25000 the other way it would be $18,750,000. For anyone that is interested in the math on the odds lines they work like this. If the odds are + the formula for what you would win is x/100 * $Bet so: 25000 / 100 * $75,000 = $18,750,000 If the odds are - the formula for calculating winnings is 100/x * $Bet so: 100 / 25000 * $75,000 = $300 Just to assist anyone still on the fence about becoming a part of the degenerate gamblers club with the rest of us. 😀😈

Agreed, and if they can hold the line they will be all the better with a fresh Von coming from the reserves. Just a little concerned based on the pass rush being 💩 after Thanksgiving last year. Hopefully the addition of Floyd helps to make the difference this time around.

I get the sentiment but wins in September and October count too and saving someone for the playoffs won't matter much if they don't even qualify. Hopefully it works out and the DEs can hold down the fort until he is ready to go but just assuming that will be the case is also risky.

I can second Kix on Main for good food. Also Simply Crepes, we have never done a trip to Canandaigua without a meal there. I have eaten at Nolans a couple of times as well and both were excellent meals. Young Lion is a good brewery and Twisted Rail Brewing is another decent one right down the street right on the North shore of the lake as well. Up into the village/main st area are a couple other breweries we like to visit, Frequentem Brewing and Peacemaker. Peacemaker has a big outdoor seating area behind it and I have seen live music there before so it could be the one mentioned by the OP or if not an additional option.

Canandaigua is one of my favorite quick getaways. Me and the wife do a couple of nights at the Lake House every summer but any other hotel within walking distance of the village would work as well. There are several good breweries you can walk to, plenty of good places to eat, and beautiful scenery. The pontoon rental mentioned above is a good idea too. We did that once and just driving up and down the lake looking at all the houses made for really nice relaxing day. Also, not sure if you are a dog person but Canandaigua is also one of the most pet friendly towns I have ever been to.

Sounds like one of their main plans to address the parking loss from construction is to completely remove RV/Camper parking until 2026. That is a bummer for all the fans who have made that a part of their game day rituals, though I personally don't know anyone who does that.

Josh Britt unverified Breakup rumour
Metal Man replied to loveorhatembillsfan4life's topic in Off the Wall
Along the same lines of this thought my hope is he takes a page out of Jeter's book. Have some flings in the off season but when the season starts just hyper focus on getting the job done. Can't argue with the results Jeter got and just like Jeter I have no doubt Josh can still land a top flight wife to settle down with after retirement and a handful of rings. -
Watched both in the last couple of years and thought they both held up relatively well. Warriors always was a little bit on the silly side with some of the weird themed gangs but I still enjoyed it. Escape From NY held up great IMHO, aside from effects being dated it still came off as a great movie. However there are some I used to love that aren't the best as an adult. Probably watched Purple Rain dozens of times as a teen and loved every view but after a watch last year... not so much. Still love the music but the acting/writing are kind of cringe worthy now.

Schedule Release - Rumors & Leaks
Metal Man replied to FitzShowUsYourTitz's topic in The Stadium Wall
And IIRC that pretty much ended that California lot that had the little cut through and bridge across that creek as they wouldn't let people through that way anymore. That was a great tailgate spot being set back a bit in a small wooded area, but with having to walk down California and then back up to the stadium it wasn't worth using anymore. -
Schedule Release - Rumors & Leaks
Metal Man replied to FitzShowUsYourTitz's topic in The Stadium Wall
I tortured myself by reviewing it this morning. DJ did try the ice timeout on the final kick which was good on the one that didn't count, but it was good on the second try as well. Anyway, to get back on track for the topic... after bringing back those memories it would be nice to get a chance at them again on MNF. -
Schedule Release - Rumors & Leaks
Metal Man replied to FitzShowUsYourTitz's topic in The Stadium Wall
I remember Edwards threw a late INT that led to a score and then the Bills messed up on the onside kick recovery so maybe McKelvin was involved in that somehow. All I recall from that fumbled kickoff return was yelling Why the 'f are you bringing that out of the endzone? -

Wasn't the McKelvin fumble part of the Pats* MNF debacle? -
Bills 2023-24 Schedule Preview & Prediction
Metal Man replied to corta765's topic in The Stadium Wall
The opponents have been part of a predetermined formula for a long time now. Bills had KC at home in 2020 as part of the normal division rotation, 2 AFCW away and other 2 AFCW at home. 2021 and 2022 Buffalo played at whoever finished in the same position as them from the AFCW the year before which seeing both teams won their division in 2020 and 2021 ended up being at KC. That easily could have been one of the other AFCW teams if the Bills or KC finished in 2nd or worse. Bills were at Cincy last year as part of the divisional rotation and at Cincy again this year as part of playing at their counterpart of the AFCN. For 2024 the Bills are at the AFCN counterpart again so if both them and Cincy finish the same place in their divisions it will be at Cincy in 2024 and that can be the new one people complain about. Any opponent formula you come up with will always have the potential for these kinds of things. -
Article didn't seem to say, but anyone else know if this will be the special edition version from the 90s hitting the theaters? I assume it probably will be as the originals seem to have been erased from existence. Though if somehow it was the original 1983 cut I would definitely go see it. I didn't hate the changes to Empire but the other two were tough to stomach. That new CGI song and dance number in Jabba's palace and the new ending instead of the Ewok song.... 🤢🤮🤬

GOAT debate related to era Montana vs Brady
Metal Man replied to Mikie2times's topic in The Stadium Wall
A lot of what makes Brady a strong argument for GOAT is his longevity. I doubt he lasts nearly as long taking the hits QBs took in the 80s/90s. Brady benefitted from the "Brady rule" greatly.
