Augie

We had a tight timeline due to a Friday wedding in Chicago before the opener last year and flying in Saturday. That was the top priority for me with the family making a rare WNY trip, first time for the DIL. I admit I’ve never done a lot of the other stuff mentioned (or not in FOREVER, at least), but Maid of the Mist seems like the quintessential Falls activity to me. It’s not “something cool near the Falls”, it is THE FALLS! Prepare to get wet despite the poncho they give you. The videos we took shows up from time to time on my iPad feed, and I smile every time at how hard we were laughing on a day with 20-30 mph winds! You learn to trap the poncho between your knees, or it WILL fly up over your head! 😂

One of their best effed up. Let him face the music, because I want home field advantage thru the playoffs. I know how greedy that sounds after missing the postseason for 17 straight years, but this is today, and I want home field! Sometimes you need some breaks, and I’ll take them. It’s not like Belichick spying on locker rooms or stealing playbooks (allegedly). He did it with no involvement from us. Their are no special pride points for beating a team missing their best player. A “W” is a “W”, and every one counts (even against the NFC, a concept which confuses some people ) Full disclosure: Had he been suspended for jay walking, I could live with that too. I really could.

I think Josh was a bit nervous in that setting away from football. Regardless, I’d rather take a little abuse on a made for TV golf event if we can give it on the football field!!!

Scoring at will became boring, so we are looking for a way to change things up and make it less predictable, I think? 🤷‍♂️

I think this seems to be very underrated. This may have been the move of the offseason. Time will tell. A new ST coach doesn’t hurt either.

Without Diggs, Davis doesn’t see the success he has experienced so far. A true #1, at a reasonable price, makes everyone else better, not to mention what he personally accomplishes. Diggs gets attention that can even make the run game better. Great players will always be in demand. You just need to get the contract right. I think as more talented WR’s arrive in the league the prices will probably become more reasonable. Supply and demand. .

Kromer getting him up to speed enough to be worth a 5th round draft pick also says something. Something encouraging.

BUT! When Ford turns into the next Wyatt Teller, this place will be full of comedic GOLD, I tell you! 😂

It’s like herding cats! People here seem to lose focus at times. Thank goodness we have you to keep an eye on the prize!

Seemed pretty calm, considering! I worked with someone who was home on maternity leave in her house on a golf course. A deer saw it’s reflection in the sliding glass door and started crashing into it! She heard the crashing and scooped up the baby. The deer busted into the house and FREAKED OUT! She ran out the front door while the deer did tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage to the house and furniture. It didn’t know how to get back out. Granted, her home might not have had the soothing atmosphere of a Dollar General, where deer often go to shop for……..deer things.

All good! I’m sorry, didn’t even notice you were new. That was my bad. Welcome!!!

You kinda make us work for it.

His schtick was tiresome, but he got what he wanted: people know who he is. Even he has come around to acknowledge Josh is the real deal, just not at Mahomes level in his opinion. I’ll take OUR guy!

Congrats to you and Mrs Lew! That’s 10 years more than us, and it goes by so fast! Did Prohibition adversely affect the reception? 😂 I kid, I kid, and congrats again!

Great find, great post. Cowherd has been on board for a while.

He’s one of the biggest Josh fans out there, and when he changed his mind he owned it. I must admit, I had early doubts myself but I’m thrilled to have a seat on the Josh Bandwagon!

I used to take my oldest to a sports bar on the weekends/meat market at night. He was maybe 8 when we started, and the cutest thing in the bar. The servers all loved him, and he won a strangely high percentage of the regular drawings they were having. Unfortunately, giant beer and tequila tee shirts that wouldn’t fit him for years were not great gifts for a young boy. It became awkward when he got a tee shirt with a gecko (the name of the bar) kicking a football thru the uprights and the caption said “Gecko’s, the easiest place to score!” That took some fancy talking on my part. 😂

Special times and special memories. I miss those days! Most people who go to a game on a Friday night (or strangely Saturday in WNY) don’t realize all the hard work and dedication that goes into it. Our boys used to get up super early to be at the gym by 6:00am so they didn’t miss their weight room time during two a days. Most of the kids hated the double practices, and ours got up at 5:30am to do extra. They got that kind of work ethic from their mother. .

It sucks to be out of work.

Well, at least we have Josh and not Deshaun Watson. That’s got to count for something.

That sounds very reasonable. A lot of us are about the same age from the same general area. I knew a guy in college in Cincinnati for a couple years before I learned we played hockey against each other in Williamsville. It was our guys against their guys on the pond across Maple Rd. I’d bet there are at least a couple…..”WAIT! You’re him?” situations here.

After the second time…………..you were just ready for a buzz on anyone’s tab. 👍

It just wears you down and before you know it……I heard “Y’all” come out of my mouth one time while living in Hilton Head, SC. 🤷‍♂️ Like Florida, HHI doesn’t qualify as “The South”, but it came out of my mouth and I was shocked!

It’s a sliding scale. The VERY best make the Wall of Fame and maybe the HOF……and the bottom guys just get let in on a secret handshake.

My first thought! Does he really get paid if he never made the roster? How much? I’m not sure how this really works.
