Off topic, but I'm okay if Edmunds sits out. 😀

Looking forward to seeing you at the home opener!!

That's like saying QBs who slide instead of putting their head down to get more yardage aren't putting in 100% effort. I get it ... it would be great if Gilmore sacrificed his body to make solid tackles. But there's a difference between playing hard and playing smart. I'll gladly take the broken up passes and INTs at the expense of some missed/half-ass tackles. Availability is the best ability.

Gilmore has always tackled like a wuss. That's just part of his game. In his final season with the Bills, he also had 5 INTs, which was the 2nd best of his career - and he played in 15 games.

Welcome back, dude!

Overrated?? He was one of the best CBs in the league when he was in Buffalo, which was an absolute dumpster fire at the time. He wanted to get paid and win. Buffalo was dedicated to neither and he ended up doing both with New England. Not sure why that makes him the bad guy.

After a very unimpressive rookie season, Dom has dedicated himself to being better and yes, I agree, it has shown. He was supposed to be our next Keith Hernandez. Alonso said "hold my beer." But Dom has been great. I'd much rather keep him, but would also love to see him as a true 1B on another team and to kick ass. He handled the transition to LF very well and has been a great team player and always prepared to play. Mets seem to insist on playing people out of position and it burns my ass.

I did hear about the trade. Hosmer would be an expensive add-on, similar to when we had to take Cano when we got Rodriguez. There is no place on the roster for Hosmer - not to mention, I still hate his guts from the World Series. And I also read that they're trying Cano out at 1B. Mets continuing to do Metsy things. A little frustrating. Scherzer does concern me because of his age. And I agree that Jake might be toast.

@Another Fan @SinceThe70s - Season hasn't even started and deGrom an Scherzer are both down. deGrom out for months. I am always super optimistic going into the season, but this is NOT good. I think we could be fuct.

Crap. I even looked for it in that thread. Sorry, man.

Totally agree re: the financial district. I got a room in a hotel across the street from the Westfield mall on a reservation site through work. There was some sort of glitch and I got the room for like $120/night. Subway station was right across the street (same side) from the hotel, so it was super convenient. That was the year we did the Observatory, so that was just a short walk away. We use the subway to get everywhere (we - as in my son and I; years ago, my then-wife didn't like using them). One of my must-do's whilst in the city is to walk by the Dakota, then to Strawberry Fields in Central Park. For years, we'd stay at the Belvedere in the Hell's Kitchen area. I would leave my son and his mother in the room to sleep in/take forever to get ready and head out on my walk. That's when I would go to Strawberry Fields. It was a nice jaunt, but it relaxed me. Now, my son enjoys it, so we make it part of our plans when we go.

I don't think giving him the keys to your car would be the best idea. 😀

I think something like The Battery (outside of Truist Park in Atlanta) is exactly what needs to be developed outside of the Bills' stadium. https://batteryatl.com/

This really seems to bother you. For that, I am sorry.

For over a decade (until Covid hit), I've taken an annual trip to Manhattan, usually for a 3-night stay. We always try to pick one scheduled excursion (Statue of Liberty, museums, shows, etc.), a Mets game, then just flying by the seat of our pants. I love it. I love the pace. I love the atmosphere. Love the people watching. Love the attitude of the city. It's been two years and I'm looking forward to getting back down this summer. I live about a 3 hour drive north of there. We hop a train about 2 hours north of the city, then just take the train in and walk (or take a subway) to our hotel. Used to drive in, but even though it's cheaper, I enjoy the restful trip in/out. It's one of my most favorite places on the planet.

If Josh Allen is supposed to be one of the best QBs in the NFL, then why does he still need an extra tutor?

I have always done whatever it took to avoid looking at setlists and any other kinds of spoilers. I never understood why people want to know. On that note, I am a strictly Waters-era Pink Floyd fan - including the Syd-era; so the Mason show sounds fantastic. I'm heavily leaning toward going. I saw Waters do the Wall at MSG back in 2010 and it was amazing. That said, I never cared for his solo stuff, so I'm skipping this year's tour. Seeing a show at Red Rocks is something I'd love to do someday.

That surprises me. Years ago, I saw REO/Styx/Journey (in that order) and I thought REO was the best band of the night without question. This was before the little Filipino guy took over for Journey, so it's been a while.

I had no idea about Matchbox 20 postponing their entire tour. That is odd to me. I would love to see them; Goo Goo Dolls would be good, too. I can't believe they have enough demand for SPAC. I'll wait till they hit the Palace in a few years. Same with Norah Jones. Of all the SPAC shows, I think the only one I can see myself going to is REO/Styx. These bands have priced me out.

This is pretty much where I am. Individual artist and/or venue searches. Very difficult in the NYC area, because there are venues there that I don't even know about. There's a website for the city, but it lists every gig in the city - including just regular bar bands - and it takes FOREVER to navigate through.

I'm really intrigued by the Nick Mason tour and I see he's playing in NYC (Beacon Theatre, which is a perfectly sized venue) in December. Looking forward to your review!!

I loved T.O. in his year in Buffalo. Poor bastard had Trent and Fitz, yet STILL had over 800 yards. I was sad to see him go.

Be still my beating heart It would be better to be cool It's not time to be open just yet A lesson once learned is so hard to forget
