Would you consider this the ... or at least one of the ... worst QB draft class, ever?

I'm no longer a fan/viewer of the Grammy's on TV; but to say that most Grammy winners are the worst performers is just silly.

You lived in Buffalo; not upstate NY.

We had "recess" through 4th grade. Regular playground activities. Beginning with grade 5, through 8th grade, it was "PLR," or "Post Lunch Relaxation." PLR took place just outside the school in the back parking lot. Most kids just shot the breeze. Some kids threw a football around, but that was about it as far as any kind of physical activity.

Yep. Off to a nice start. Nice to see Lindor and Alonso with nice Aprils. Bullpen has been okay, but yes ... could be better. Would be nice to keep the bats hot and get some wins while we wait for Walker, then deGrom to come back. Long season. We shall see.

Allen, Rodgers and Mahomes have the biggest hands in the league. 🍆

Saw Joan Jett last night at the Albany Palace Theater (Albany, NY - less than 3K capacity). Good show, but surprisingly short. Opener (Soraia) - clearly heavily inspired by Joan Jett, played a nice 30-minute set of throwback 80s rock and roll. Started at precisely 8pm. Nice energy. Female singer (no instruments), female drummer, dudes on bass, guitar and keys (barely audible). Joan Jett and the Blackhearts came out at precisely 9pm. Nice set of Runaways tunes and her most popular JJBH tunes. Then, shockingly, they went acoustic and did a set of 4-5 tunes, which turned out to be pretty excellent. She said they'd only been working on the acoustic set for the past couple weeks and asked for our patience. Said she felt "exposed." Then ... that was it. Done. Exactly 90 minutes and they were done. That was a little disappointing, but I'm glad went. I know she's part of the Def Leppard/Poison arena tour, so I'm not sure how many of these smaller shows she's got scheduled. If you've never seen her (this was my first time), I'd recommend it - especially in a venue this size.

My only knock on Cookie being on the Wall is that he only played three years in Buffalo. Three great years? Of course. But, personally, I'd like to see the Wall celebrate long-tenured Bills - which is why I've always been a huge Schobel advocate and, staying on topic, Byrd.

I used google maps ... Buffalo to Orchard Park. 15..1 miles. That's how normal people do it. And it's correct.

And if it were Diggs we were talking about?

Hey, Virg. How was Florida?

Zoiks!

Same distance between Buffalo and Orchard Park.

Colts won it six times and they haven't been in the division for 20 years.

I have no idea how Cookie made it there. I'd rather see Byrd and Schobel up there than Cookie and Simpson.

Major League Baseball retired his No. 42 on the 50th anniversary. Since then, no one on any ballclub wears it – except for today, on Robinson Day, when everyone does. The time has come for the Buffalo Bills to honor their 42, too. Butch Byrd, who wore that number in the 1960s, still holds the franchise record for career interceptions, with 40. And he returned a punt 74 yards for a touchdown in the 1965 American Football League title game, which remains the last time the Bills won a league championship. Byrd’s name and number belong on the Bills Wall of Fame. Of course they do. That they aren’t there already is hard to believe. No Byrd? Absurd. “I hope it will come someday,” he says. “I don’t want to sound conceited, but I think I had a pretty good career.” Byrd pauses. “I’d like not to have to make it posthumously.” Traditionally, Wall of Fame honorees have been chosen by a panel of team personnel and select media members. The committee has not met since Cookie Gilchrist was chosen as the 31st member in 2017, and there are no meetings scheduled. The future of the Wall of Fame is unknown as the Bills begin their transition to a new stadium. Byrd played in Buffalo for seven seasons, 1964 through 1970. His franchise record for interceptions stands the test of time. He returned five of those 40 for touchdowns and made the AFL All-Star team five times. Then there is that game-breaking punt return against the San Diego Chargers in 1965. Byrd remembers every step of it. “Oh yeah, absolutely. John Hadl punted. I was back with Ed Rutkowski. I caught it and took two steps to my left. Ed put a block on the gunner, and I reversed field to the right. I had the sideline, and then Paul Maguire knocked down the last two guys and I was in. That’s how it happened. It was over in a flash.”

We spend just as much, unfortunately. But we're not dirty bastards.

There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy. There's only you and me and we just disagree.

I liked her more before ... when she went by Kathy Ireland. Poser.

Very cool. DVD is $18 on Amazon ... https://www.amazon.com/Louder-Than-Love-Grande-Ballroom/dp/B01DA9Q6SC

Wouldn't it be easier/more fun to set up a Zoom meeting and do rock/paper/scissors?

It really is an amazing list. Borderline mind-blowing. Boggles my mind how it went to sh*t so quickly. Very sad.

Pretty sure it was after his fake foot injury that "kept him" out of the game in London. Bum.
