Augie

It felt appropriate to round up there.

He didn’t die. I mean, physically. Glad he’s still making coin in the league.

Well, I’d like to say on behalf of more than half of us, we’re glad that you survived that encounter.

I heard they sold out early last year as Holiday Gifts! Gettem’ while ya can!

Geez….apparently the wife was on a very slow burn. No telling what kind of special drama caused the dam to burst. That would not be a fun way to live life.

Interesting, I had no idea. What a terrible loss that was.

Here is a silly (but serious) response for you - my sons drove Nissans (an Altima and a Rogue) and the annoying part is when they lock them the horn gives a little honk. Not crazy about that all the time, especially when they were coming home after midnight. A little beep is plenty and the neighbors will need to pay attention to keep track of your comings and goings. Never really had trouble with them, but we prefer Toyotas.

Nowadays the kids go for something more subtle, like purple hair and/or a face tattoo. Anything but a Dolphins fan……

The Buccaneers were only an NFL team because execution was a policy violation according to the NFLPA…..or something like that…. 🤷‍♂️ If you're young, you may not get that reference. If you’re old, it’s a classic!

Didn’t we just do this already?

Forget the gas stations, what about the map stores? I’m serious! I used to go to Mel’s House of Maps to buy maps of my section of Florida for my real estate work. Imagine that, a store that existed solely for the purpose of selling maps. Few people would know how to use one now, and fewer could fold one. Mel was actually a tennis buddy of mine, and I’m glad he was at retirement age when maps died.

If @HOUSE has been pitching open tryouts with a modest processing fee, I suggest caution. Just sayin’ 😊

Taco Tuesdays? I apologize.

Wouldn’t that be a blessing if that safety spot became less of a concern! I’m certainly not giving up on Bishop, but he needs to be available and look ready to play mistake-free football before I can relax with him back there. Most guys are listed as CB or safety, but Hancock is a DB on the Bills roster. Serious question…..What would have been gained there? I suspect they know what they’re doing and they have better info than we have regarding the injury and their plans for him. This may be part of keeping him hidden and on the Bills for one more year and see what he can offer then….but what do I know? 🤷‍♂️

Yes, judgements can be biased, in either direction. You sound more fair and open to all the facts, not just the ones that support your agenda.

I’ll never forget when I dove a Camry and my mother drove an Accord. I think of them as being competing vehicles with both being reliable, but my Camry felt solid and durable while it felt like a tin can when I closed the door on my mother’s car. This was years ago so maybe it’s changed, but it was a striking difference.

With the dome in Dunkirk?

But the sinks will really be sinks, I’m hoping.

I go to a pizza joint on a fairly regular basis for a slice at lunch. A guy next to me is in a Jets hat and we talk, then the manager realizes I’m from Buffalo. He insisted we try a free order of (medium) wings, and they were pretty darn good! Fast forward a couple years and I’m at the bar having my slice when a guy sits down next to me and orders his wings hot. They point to the menu and explain hot is REALLY hot, and he responds “Fine. That’s what beer is for.” He bites into his first wing and I ask how it is. Fine. As he picks up his second wing he says “it builds on you”, and he orders another beer. By the third wing his nose is running, his eyes are watering, and his wife is begging him to stop. These are the precious little moments in life I cherish. 😂 It wasn’t a hot sauce, it was a lethal rub. I don’t do “I dare you” anything.

They called about having our son play All-Stars when he was about 9-10. They promised him second base and lead off hitter. I told them I would ask and his response was “do I have to? Half the guys are standing around, and the other half are just SITTING.” From the mouths of babes. He went on to play everything else.

This should come with a DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME warning. Everything else does…..for a reason, I suppose.

A guy signs a big deal and then his play falls off? That’s sounding familiar. I am having visions of sailor caps….. .

I like hearing that! We fly in Wednesday before the opener and go directly to Watkins Glen for a night to walk the gorge and see the lake. My wife loves stuff like that, and I’ve never been there either. We’re also going to Niagara-on-the Lake one day. It’s nice to have some extra time during this trip. More meals!!! 🤣

I am generally the eternal optimist, to the point that I probably annoy some people. Having said that, Cole Bishop scares me. I’m worried about all the DBs on some level, but especially him. And it’s not just because of a little preseason play. That’s why we play the games! I’m looking forward to real Buffalo Bills football.
