  1. GB... FWIW... Really doesn't have the extreme microclimate Orchard Park does. Sure it snows, gets very cold... But it doesn't affect the game as crazy as the microclimate does alee of the Lake like in Orchard Park. Average yearly snowfall in GB is 50-60"... Orchard Park is double @ 115" a year. Lots of heavy snows come early in OP... November/December when Lake is still warm... Again... GB is almost 1/2 with only 2" and 14" average in November/December annually. FWIW
  2. That would have been 7 for Falcons had Kumerow hadn't recovered it. Good awareness!
  3. And guess which team the Bills would play currently! 😆 🤣
  4. And yet Rich/Ralph/NewEra/Highmark stands loud, proud and stable after 49 years. Must of been a union shop. 😉
  5. Quite loudly the Miami Dolphins were curb stomped and eliminated from the playoffs. Nice run there beating up on scrub teams...
  6. Not sure if this was posted. But, agree with this take: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-insider-notes-antonio-browns-disturbing-fall-from-grace-a-cause-for-concern-plus-more-from-week-17/ "My initial reaction was to mutter a "Slap Shot" joke under my breath, with Antonio Brown choosing to end his season – and career for that matter – by ripping his clothes off like in the final scene of that classic 1970s movie as the Charlestown Chiefs are in the midst of an all-out brawl during their mythical Federal Hockey League title game. But then I caught myself. There is nothing particularly funny in watching this individual, who has destroyed his own potential Hall of Fame career so many times -- often due to the horrible way in which he is willing to treat certain individuals -- put forth one last awkward cry for help in the most public way possible. Watching him storm from the sidelines, upset about being benched at a time when his finances are in poor shape and he is chasing more incentives, and begin a macabre dance of disrobing and chucking things into the stands before sauntering, shirtless, off the field and seemingly out of the stadium, is as jarring as it is sad. No athlete could dream of his playing career ending that way. It wasn't defiant or iconoclastic. It was sadly pathetic and continues a disturbing trend of behavior from someone who was once on a path to doing things only men like Jerry Rice had accomplished on a football field before. And one could argue that it was karma of sorts for the Bucs, who were willing to take on this object of score despite all of the allegations of sexual assault and abhorrent decisions, all in the name of chasing another Lombardi Trophy. You could say that they got what they had coming for welcoming him back after being caught using a fake vaccination card. All of that is fair. I wouldn't disagree. But it wouldn't make the specter of this fall from grace, this plummet from someone who once seemed headed for a very different sort of history, any less jolting. For this to be his final act ever in an NFL uniform, in all likelihood, is perversely somewhat fitting but it doesn't make it any less of a cause for serious concern about Brown's awareness and faculties and mental health. A diagnosis of some sort would not excuse any of his many mistakes, but it might further explain them. Tom Brady seemed genuinely concerned and worried for his teammate after the game. No one seemed particularly angry, at least in part because of how at risk this individual might be. He is clearly now beyond more chances in the NFL, but one hopes he is able to get another chance or two to turn his life around and make amends with those he has wronged and to find something else to provide whatever value playing football about as well as any wide receiver ever has to get him to this point. Ideally, this is the last time we hear about Antonio Brown and erratic behavior. And hopefully some member of the Bucs organization is a part of whatever turnaround is possible for him."
  7. 90+ go long or go home! With Miss Scarlet, in the conservatory via heart attack! 😉
  8. Aiding to the delinquency of minors is a crime! Have fun! 😃😊
  9. Yes. Spring weather is actually nicer than late fall. Lake effect mostly in November/December...
  10. Yes he does: But... Zimmer is out for the year.
  11. Can of Dew is only 50mg... Mild adverse effects are usually at 200mg a day... A Good threshold. 400mg is considered a good upper limit. She must be super sensitive to caffeine! 50mg, is like a 1/2 cup... 4oz. of Weak coffee. Excedrin is aspirin with caffeine. 65mg per pill. That's like taking one Excedrin/day and missing it. That's kinda low to be experiencing caffeine withdrawal! Caffeine constricts the blood blood flow to brain. Coming off it, the blood is rushing back... Hence the ill effects. What keeps me awake while driving is a Monster Zero-Sugar and a SlimJim or similar. No/little carbs. Feed me carbs and it's officially sleepy 😴 🥱 time
  12. Isn't Mount Rushmore an exclusive American piece of work? Why are we including others?
  13. You guys are all nuts. Just to piss off @LeviF: How more American can you get than The Dead! We don't put foreigners on Mt.Rushmore. Just Americans! And definitely NOT Canadians! 😉 😜
  14. Funny... Walt Coleman's son is on that crew that reffed Tampa game. Walt Coleman II. 😆
  15. If they call the obvious: Which is an obvious holding call... That moves the ball from the 7 to the 2 yard line w/a fresh set of downs and 30 seconds left in regulation. A TD here wins it. A no holding call forced a FG to tie. How is this call missed?
  16. Yup. Soda. It's not the caffeine I crave, don't even know why they put caffeine in soda, it's so miniscule like 40mg per can....Almost useless. Have to drink like 30oz. to get an 8oz. cup of coffee's caffeine. A 16oz. NORMAL energy drink is still lower than an cup of coffee. Sure it's synthesized... Loaded with vitamins ans amnio acids... My father drank nothing but coffee. He had to be intaking 1,000s mg of caffeine daily. Into his 70s and died early 80s... Vascular dementia. Had terrible pain when he died. He built tolerance to caffeine, but didn't help in taking so much! All he drank. /smh...
  17. Either soda or energy drink... But I never need it regularly... Hit and miss... Can go weeks without....Mainly drink it for taste. Kinda stupid answer, but if they made the same flavors withOUT caffeine, I would still drink it sporadically... Is an energy drink an energy drink withOUT caffeine? So... I really can't answer the poll because I simply don't consume caffeine every day. Maybe 200mg a week? My weakness is soda... But usually caffeine free... Like ginger ale, etc... I would say SUGAR is America's #1 addiction.
  18. And that season was bookended by two 31-0 wins by both the Bills and Patriots. Weird ain't it! Bills had their playback in game #1 after the Lawyer Milloy signing. 2003, it's where the League really diverged. Cord cutting, cheating, tech, etc... Glad Bills were only implicated once in all this!
  19. He could have flipped it to Diggs... And I think he woulda, had he realized that were gonna tackle him short. Great situational awareness... Diggs right there, ball is in his throwing hand like an outrigger...
