The Eagles fans at my brother's lot (across from Hammer's) were great. Had half the Philly fire dept there (well, maybe not quite half, closer to 1/10th.) When the front came through with the rain we were all in the garage. I asked who the jr. member of the dept. was. A young man said "I am sir." I pointed to a car more than 30 yards away and said "Behind that car is a green cooler. In the bottom of that cooler are several bottles of Yuengling. Would you mind getting me one?" To which he replied "I'm on it" and returned a minute later, bottle in hand "Here you go sir!" Ahhh, if only the game had turned out better.

Yes I noticed that. I'm in Rochester. Must be we were both writing directions at the same time.

If you're heading East after the game, It's a walk (ever since the fence went up to block people from crossing the creek due to that drowning after a Thursday {or was it Monday?} nite game several years ago) but if you park on California, go to Ellis, then to Taylor to the end, (which at some point may change to New Taylor) right on to Buffalo/240, left on to 20A East, left on route 77 N, 77N to the Thruway. I used to go this way, waited until the end of the game then left with no traffic issues. Need to deal with a few 35 and 45 MPH zones but traffic breaks up once you get on to 20A, not really much before that either. As mentioned the walk is considerably longer since you can no longer cross the creek. If that's too much zig zagging, any lot on 20A will do, will need to deal with traffic until it breaks up at the corner of 20A and Buffalo/240. I park across the street from Hammer's. Unless you leave early (in which case why did you bother coming?) you really need to stay until 6 to avoid traffic.

If the Bills and Cowboys perform the way both did against the Eagles, might be best to plan an early Thanksgiving day dinner, lest the game spoils our appetites.

That appears to be the reason he hasn't retired... From this link: https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/redskins/salary-cap-expert-redskins-still-owe-alex-smith-tens-millions "His contract is structured like any other quarterback contract at his magntitude," he said. "The extension averaged 22.5 million per year. So his 2019 $15 million base salary was fully guaranteed at signing. That was to be expected. "Now, when you have contracts like this, the 2020 season sometimes is guaranteed at signing ... $16 million, 2020 the base salary, it was guaranteed at signing and it becomes fully guaranteed if he's on the roster as of the fifth day of the 2019 league year which is this upcoming St. Patrick's Day. So that's $31 million over the next two years that it's almost impossible for the Redskins to get out of. But that's the nature of the beast of a contract of this magnitude for a quarterback. " If Smith decided to retire, Corry said, the Redskins could recoup some of that money. But he doesn't see Smith giving them the chance to do so."

Even if they did it probably wouldn't the Bills, the two seemingly play every year (4 times in the last 5 years)

Exactly. Real speed reviews...if you can't overturn in real speed then the evidence isn't incontrovertible. Cost Detroit the game. Just terrible.

I was thinking the same thing yesterday after watching a couple that obviously should have been overturned.

This was not a fun fact at all. We were duped!

Don't know the answer, but it certainly sounds like something he would have done. Warming up for spiking a bullet in his thigh! edit - Yup, it was him

Well played

Not sure if they missed all 4 wins, but they certainly missed the game in Tennessee, as the Titans are ranked 3 spots ahead of the Bills despite losing on their home turf.

Cliche's got to be cliche's for a reason, most of them are true. "Worrying does not take away tomorrow’s troubles. It takes away today’s peace."

Question: What did the Twilight Zone fan say when he quit smoking pot? Answer: God, this show sucks.

This was my first thought...and I don't really care to.

Did you read the part where I said we'd smoke a joint before watching in the TV lounge? You're gullible...even stoned I saw that one coming.

Nice article John. Remember going to college in the 70's...everyone would fire up a joint in their dorm room, then file down to the TV lounge at 11:00 PM for an hour of TZ. Unlike Night Gallery, which was always scary with a bad ending for the protagonist, one never knew if TZ endings would be good or bad, though if I recall correctly they were more often good. PS you left off Jack Klugman from your list of actors, who appeared in 4 episodes, tied for the most appearances with Burgess Meredith.

From the article "...But privately he was an extremely charitable man, distributing money to many local causes, usually done quietly with no publicity. Charitable contributions also were made through the Cardinals Foundation, formed shortly after the franchise moved to Arizona in 1988..." Ralph did things the same way during his life, and continues to give back (in a somewhat louder manner) posthumously through his foundation.

So what you're saying is that it really does enhance performance...

Glad things went smooth for you.

So are you sure it is kidney stones? I had all the symptoms you describe and was sure it was stones. After two days in the hospital and 3 tests later it was determined that I had a kink in my kidney causing hydronephrosis. Like a kink in a garden hose, it passed water just fine for a long time (in my case 6 decades) but if it bends enough it will cause a blockage. Had to have the stent inserted in to my kidney. The removal of said stent is supposed to take 30 seconds of, well lets just say it will be the worst part. It took the urologist 4 minutes at which point he decided he couldn't take it out in the office and would need to put me under general anesthesia and remove it in the operating room. Hope things go smoother for you than they did for me.

The Shur Fine I frequent in Irondequoit used to be IGA. I think when some of the smaller chains like Super Duper and IGA dissolved many the owners took on the Shur Fine products. So, not directly related but more a natural evolution.

To be fair, Duke has been a quarterback factory for decades. Here is a partial list of the Hall of Fame QB's they have turned out: Sonny Jurgensen Actually, that's the entire list. Never mind.

Maybe deliver him some free chicken wings, you know, cooked the way Buffalo Billy cooked them for the Orlando team before the playoff game in the TV show Coach.

It was 29 years ago, give me a break. Didn't check the game day weather but I have now - the 27 MPH wind made the wind chill 25. I also exaggerated on the attendance, it was 74,904, not 75,000.
