To Damar: All positive energy I can generate is aimed at you. Taking football out of the picture - all hope for a miraculous recovery. To the Bills Organization: I know you're hurting. We all are. And as unfair as it is, we need you to be the role model in how to process and handle this. To my adopted hometown of Buffalo: How much can one community take in a year? The Tops massacre, double-whammy historically epic snow events (and the ongoing fallout), now this? Please continue to be the City of Good Neighbors and help each other. To the NFL: You've made a good start by stopping the game. Please continue to put people first in all decisions.

My current thought is that if I win the season ticket member lottery to buy tix at face value, I'll go. But I can't justify 3rd-party prices. As a 35-year STM I'd hope that I will win that. I did for SBXXVII in Pasadena.

Cole and Smoke each have one more call up before having to be signed to the 53. So I bet each one plays one of our remaining 2 games. Call ups are unlimited in playoffs so should be all set after the season. Personally, I think we're giving teams more run to look at right now but we'll switch it up for the playoffs.

Update: Tannehill likely out for the rest of the season including playoffs, May require surgery https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/platform/amp/2022/12/21/23521550/report-titans-qb-ryan-tannehill-out-for-season

And the 'A Football Life' episode on him premiers on Friday

the bigger question is... did he pee in the hospital?

Focus on Tre White: The final drive:

For future reference, here’s 35 years of making that drive talking: 1. Don’t exit 90 at 219. Go to the Milestrip exit 2. On Milestrip, turn right into the plaza with Home Depot 3. Go in front of Home Depot, then turn right to drive behind the next plaza 4. turn left before Wegmans and go to the light at McKinley 5. Turn right onto McKinley and move to the left lane. Turn left onto Brompton 6. Brompton ends at Southwestern. Turn left. 7. Park at one of the lots on the left hand side. This makes your exit a right - much easier. When exiting its mostly the reverse, with a couple of wrinkles 1. After turning right onto Brompton, turn left on the first side street. This goes around a curve. Then take a left at the stop sign, then right onto McKinley. This bypasses the long line on Brompton and you turn onto McKinley sooner. 2. Turn left between Aldi and Wegmans. This cuts out all lights and traffic on McKinley 3. Go back to same place you turned into that plaza - gives you a light to make the left onto Milestrip. 4. Turn right to get on 90 East i pulled into my house at 1:57 AM

I personally thought it was brilliant of him to go down. The whole drive was masterfully called and executed. When we got the ball with just under 6 minutes on the clock, the best possible outcome was to possess the ball for the rest of the game and score on the final play and that’s exactly what happened. It was reminiscent of the Ravens game. Motor going down made them use their last time out and gave us 1 play to maximize Bass’s comfort with the kick, putting the ball on his preferred hash. And Bass has missed what, one of like his last 120 extra point tries? it was without question the right thing to do.

Yeah that's gonna be a crap shoot assuming I get that far. Might have to load up on players for teams who have something to play for.

London. Would not be at all surprised to see us in Munich next season.

Currently alone in first at 11-3. Playoffs are weeks 16-17. Tee Higgins & Deebo being out will hurt this week but hopefully not out long term.

I did wear the kilt. But does this mean I'm barred from tailgating the rest of the year?!?!?!?!?

I came to a mind-blowing realization yesterday. All of my deeply-held beliefs that what I did on gameday had a direct correlation to what happened on the field were wrong. Yesterday I went against just about every element of my usual game-day routine, and I felt uneasy because of it. Left the house 2 hours later than usual, forgetting to put on my game-day jersey. Cruised through the airport to pick up my sister fresh off a flight from Charlotte NC. DID NOT do any tailgating, and walked into the game through a different gate. But we won.

Anybody wanna go see Almost Queen with my wife here in Rochester that night? I'm suddenly otherwise occupied

The only TVs up there show a body painting video on loop. I was in there on a Monday evening and no football anywhere. Some balls, but no football...

Definitely not the Garden of Eden.
