  1. I used google maps ... Buffalo to Orchard Park. 15..1 miles. That's how normal people do it. And it's correct.
  2. And if it were Diggs we were talking about?
  3. Same distance between Buffalo and Orchard Park.
  4. I have no idea how Cookie made it there. I'd rather see Byrd and Schobel up there than Cookie and Simpson.
  5. https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/erik-brady-effort-underway-to-get-butch-byrd-on-bills-wall-of-fame/article_aa237dfa-bc28-11ec-9aad-0f975cbaff58.html Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s big-league color barrier 75 years ago today. 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.”
  6. We spend just as much, unfortunately. But we're not dirty bastards.
  7. There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy. There's only you and me and we just disagree.
  8. I liked her more before ... when she went by Kathy Ireland. Poser.
  9. Very cool. DVD is $18 on Amazon ... https://www.amazon.com/Louder-Than-Love-Grande-Ballroom/dp/B01DA9Q6SC
  10. Wouldn't it be easier/more fun to set up a Zoom meeting and do rock/paper/scissors?
  11. It really is an amazing list. Borderline mind-blowing. Boggles my mind how it went to sh*t so quickly. Very sad.
  12. Pretty sure it was after his fake foot injury that "kept him" out of the game in London. Bum.
  13. Complete concert list, including Zep, the Who and Rush (1972) ... https://www.concertarchives.org/venues/grande-ballroom
  14. Sammy keeps getting work while I and the rest of you continue working y'all little jobs for the rest of y'all lives.
  15. “If on 4th down, the quarterback doesn’t complete his pass, they will turn over the ball.” — Booger McFarland
  16. Midwest Goodbyes ain't got nothin' on Puerto Rican Goodbyes. Those are like the last minute of a college basketball game.
  17. WR CB RB S OL LB Blue I'll take this, please ... https://www.foco.com/products/buffalo-bills-solid-hybrid-boonie-hat?dfw_tracker=42072-39469240811572&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjN-SBhCkARIsACsrBz6Lt2Ty1fd1mrgvGzGqDkc_rPnstyPOUKcwKKt8po2531zLbi85oPkaAnY6EALw_wcB
  18. It's also the root of my deep hatred for the Dodgers.
  19. Be happy he's pitching (unlike deGrom)!
  20. Poorly worded on my part. I meant winning 20 of his starts; not necessarily him getting 20 wins.
  21. Yes. That is not an approved combination. And I am with you 100%. I love red on white.
