If he DOES retire I hope he takes Chris Jones with him!

The Chiefs beat everybody. I hope Philly gets them and the decline begins. Travis is aging, I hope he enjoys a lovely retirement asap. Unfortunately, Chris Jones is younger than I thought. A guy like that would be very nice to have. .

Plane crash at Reagan Ntll. airport. Plane went into the Potomac.

It’s hardly a great deal for the chopper pilot. 🤷♂️ This ain’t Madden. . -
I had never dreamed of the concept, but now I’m curious. What’s the difference between the two?

I was in the kitchen with my phone and it slipped from my hand. I didn’t want it to hit the floor so I took a swipe at trying to stop it. My hand just half grazed it and knocked it up and forward. Towards the sink. The sink has a single insulated cup in it, and it’s full of water. The phone travels several feet in the air to land directly in that damn cup! SWISH! Yay me! It was one of the most ridiculous sights I’ve ever seen, and I did it to myself. It’s like a hole-in-one, I wish someone else had witnessed it!

I went to one Bills Super Bowl (Redskins in Minneapolis) but only went because we won a raffle. Some friends of my wife were in a Zonta club and they had a fund raiser. My wife bought some tickets, and when they showed up to sell them at my Rotary Club one of them told me “you don’t have to, your wife got it.” I thought that was odd for a fundraiser, but I stopped reading for my wallet. Weeks later we are home on a Friday night and the phone rings. The Zonta crowd is drunk and laughing in a loud bar, but I can’t even tell what they are saying. I give the phone to my wife, and I think I may have benefitted from a rigged fundraiser. 😂 The wife briefly mentioned getting a dining room set instead, but quickly came to her senses. Anyway, she mentioned NOLA this year and seemed serious, but I shushed her for the jinx factor. I really have no burning desire to go to another, even if it was the Bills. But if my wife is pushing the agenda, who am I to say no? 🤷♂️

I’m kinda getting sick of that guy!!!

I’m not sure I want a seat at that table. (Like musical chairs, but in reverse.) I know we draft late in the rounds and we have a healthy supply of picks this year, but I’m feeling some sticker shock.

I got one minute in. That was more than enough. -
Mint is an underused ingredient, imo. There is one bartender at a place I go to who adds a little mint to my Arnold Palmer at lunch. It sounds silly, but it’s funny how it elevates something so simple. You get the aroma more than the taste. My wife is Lebanese and mint is also worked into a lot of Mediterranean dishes.

If we are talking salsa, I made a great mango salsa to go with my blackened salmon recently. The usual ingredients of red pepper, jalapeño, cilantro, red onion, lime juice. The key was I cheated and used diced and drained canned mango. Getting a properly ripe mango and then getting the meat from it is the tricky part. That really simplified things.

It depends on what we are doing. If I’m grilling wings, it’s definitely Franks. Perfect and easy. Texas Pete will do in a pinch. I had taco night this week while the wife was away, and that required some Cholula to amp up the Taco Bell hot sauce. Some things, like crab legs and Bloody Mary’s call for Tabasco for its unique flavor profile. I think the answer for me is, it depends. I guess that’s why we have a hot sauce section in the fridge. .

I love it! Five out of our first 6 picks are DL! The 6th guy at #179 may end up being the best of the super bunch. That’s how the draft works! 😂

I would just like to say that I am happy I didn’t click on any of this. I am so sick of this stuff, but I guess that’s the world we live in. If it happened, we will hear about it. If it didn’t happen, we may still hear about it. I have gotten to the point where I hate watching the news, so I usually don’t. .

My wife is on her way back from NYC and texted me about this before boarding. Yes, I knew, but I was going to wait to mention it until you were home and I could hug you. She did remind me she was in an airport and that news was fairly impossible to miss. She had me there, but I wasn’t going to bring it up first. -
James Cook Opens Up On Losing To Chiefs - interview
Augie replied to One Buffalo's topic in The Stadium Wall
I do think there is a bit of a shift in the league toward running the ball more. I’m FAR too lazy to do it myself, but I’d be curious to see how the percentage of run plays has shifted over the last 5-10 years for the league in general and for playoff teams. Teams went light (like we did) to stop the passing game. That becomes an opportunity for teams that can pound the ball. . -
James Cook Opens Up On Losing To Chiefs - interview
Augie replied to One Buffalo's topic in The Stadium Wall
The good teams are going back to running the ball more, it seems. RB’s may have a bit of a comeback in terms of priority. -
Yeah, especially since we are the only team to beat them so far this year. That is conveniently forgotten by many. People get overly emotional and it clouds their view sometimes. Yes, we lost to the Chiefs. No, we do not suck and we have a lot of reasons to be optimistic going into next season.

Wait! There are other options for how to hit on women?

This may be what it takes to get some people to stop complaining about Beane and McD.

Allen suffered a wrist injury against KC, won’t go to Pro Bowl
Augie replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
The Pro Bowl was bad before it died. I don’t know what to call it now other than senseless.
