  1. The newest Buffalo Bills WR. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yvi13u4JSzU
  2. WNY native, Syracuse Orangeman and long-time Steeler gone too soon at 66. https://apnews.com/article/pittsburgh-steelers-nfl-wolfley-dies-55df8fbcb6b3c97a65e5ef1a84c9b96d?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0jbhM9JjZR-5l4lg22-rPk76GJdVeMZQhDsc-NZ9InbPErSA_sLpEydOY_aem_iOfpHhuuABOZS6WFrL175Q
  3. Bluesky is humming along, no issues.
  4. SpaceX unveils its newly designed rocket.
  5. Well, I guess I jinxed them because the bandits had their worst night of the season and fell to the roughnecks 17–11. On a happy note though, the Great Dhane Smith recorded his 400th goal.
  6. With the Sabres being so putrid and looking at another record year with no playoffs, I've really gotten into the Bandits over the past two seasons. I know lacrosse is a niche sport, but it has a lot of similarities to hockey. Furthermore, the Bandits are the two-time defending champs and currently in first place overall as they shoot for a three-peat. The Bandits have one of the best goalies in the history of the sport in Matt Vinc and a host of top players led by the trio of Dhane Smith, Josh Byrnes and Tehoka Nanticoke. Their coach is the league's all-time scoring leader John Tavares. One of the things that I love about indoor lacrosse is that there are distinct offensive and defensive players. Once a team gets possession of the ball there is a wholesale change of players. That way the best scorers are touching the ball on every possession. That's why guys routinely have 10+ point nights. Another cool feature is that there is one faceoff specialist. The Bandits' is Connor Farrell. He is affectionately known as the "Milkman." When the Bandits play at home, the arena is known as "Banditland." They almost always sellout, so the arena rocks with 19,000 people (unlike the Sabres, who can't fill the place unless an icon is being celebrated). The Bandits are 9-1, with a league-best plus 42 goal differential, and today at 6:30 PM they are in Calgary to play the Roughnecks. If you are in the Buffalo market the games are carried on the CW Network. Everywhere else they can be seen on the ESPN app. You need to scroll down to the lacrosse icon and then the games will appear. I thought with the season steamrolling towards the playoffs we might get a little Bandit talk going. If you haven't given the sport a shot, please consider it. It's a lot of fun and the Bandits are the one Buffalo team that actually wins championships.
  7. Guess he's not that fast. He couldn't outrun the long arm of the law.
  8. Me, staring at the dill pickle on your plate, wondering if I can have it.
  9. Not that this is an answer to the question posed, but I always thought it ironic that the guy who actually played on the opposite end of the line from Bruce, Leon Seals, had the nickname “Dr. Sack.” Here he was playing across from the man who would become the NFL‘s all-time sack leader and he almost never got to the QB. Yet he was the one that had that nickname. Of course, my buddies and I at the time took to calling him “Dr. Suck.” Seemed far more apropos.
  10. Don’t know which is funnier, his name, the photo or the phrase. I raise your Dick Wood… Lol.
  11. The Beetles cross Abbey Road
  12. Not the most talented QB, but he always played hard.
  13. Can’t believe they buzzed her after the AFC East answer. That deserved a bell ring and a mic drop.
  14. Reports are that Tage is on his way to Boston and will be playing tomorrow night in the finals against Canada. https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/report-tage-thompson-brett-pesce-on-standby-for-usa-at-4-nations-face-off-1.2254683
  15. The Band performing the Ray Charles classic was a great moment.
  16. I know there are many people that have not watched the show in years who are under the false impression that it’s never funny any longer. Here are two skits from recent times that I think prove that the show still really hits the mark on occasion.
  17. Getting ready to watch the SNL 50th Anniversary special and the wife asked me if I thought Josh would be asked to host now that he’s a league MVP? I thought it was a good question, so I will pose it to you. I think he would nail it like Peyton Manning did. I also think that having a Hollywood starlet for a fiancée ups his chances, considering how much SNL likes cameo appearances.
  18. This got off-track pretty quickly.
