Somewhere in a Burbank, CA studio……. Somebody forgot to put on the recording light outside the door!

Was it a guy with a tow truck who was working for the bank, by chance? True story, I was in the early days of dating my wife and we were riding around with the convertible top down enjoying a Sunday morning. I randomly spotted a car we/my bank had been trying to repossess for a while, but the tow truck guys could never pin him down to get it. I spot it and pull up behind it and put my car in park, blocking it in. She is in WTF mode! What if this guy comes out of that apartment? What if he has a gun? I tell her not to worry, just walk away fast. We have to walk to a pay phone so I can call for the tow truck. It was about then that she started to wonder what our future together might be like. I’m not always boring!

I was in town a few years ago and made a point of going to Big Tree for lunch, just to see what it was all about. I learned the appeal of the place is in the history, not the ambiance…..unless you like those old Buffalo bars. I’m sure they exist everywhere, but my WNY youth is full of memories in places just like that. It’s just not the kind of place I visit a lot these days.

That was my plan at Duff’s on Sheridan, go in by myself and snag a seat at the bar. I went as about a 16 year old and shared pitchers of beer at tables with my older friends. I went in to try to get a seat at the bar a few years ago, only to realize they didn’t really have a bar to sit at. 🤷‍♂️

The Bar Bill on Main in Clarence is a must stop event when we get up for the opener this year. I have it penciled in during several openings and we’ll see which one works. We’ll be staying up the road on Main St in Williamsville. It’s silly that food takes on such a priority when I get back to WNY, but it’s what I do. I can only do so many meals in a day, and so far I’ve missed out on Bar Bill. I’ve tried to get into Duff’s (an old watering hole) a few times, but as noted above I will only wait so long for wings. Hopefully the Bar Bill wait isn’t too bad or we can try it at an off hour, you know, like between lunch and dinner. I’ll try not to go directly there from Ted’s, because I try to disguise my gluttonous itinerary to some degree. .

Jerruh has an interesting habit of always waiting for the price to go UP before he signs big deals. He’s not quite an idiot like Haslam, but he’s not the genius he thinks he is, either.

Hydrate.

I bet his other mistress was glad she had the sniffles that night! Under the radar…….

More players should learn from this!

Did you know he went to Harvard? That didn’t help either. But I’m truly surprised the chestbeard didn’t do the trick for us.

I know a fool proof way not to get caught having an affair. Just sayin’……. 🤷‍♂️

Cheer up! There’s always next year. If things go a certain way, things could be even worse! 😊

He could read and pick up a blitz like and make it look beautiful in some way. He made it look that easy sometimes, like an art form.

So, how much is the rent?

It’s a tradition up there with a game on Thanksgiving Day, Jerruh playing things poorly on the contract front.

But I’m going with blue, for sure. Everybody knows that.

We had dinner with some friends of my wife’s family many years ago, and he loved some guy from the US. Somehow, possible cheating came up (how could it not?) and the guy got all offended. I backed way off, but he wanted me to take it back. I’m a bit stubborn that way, and I never quite satisfied him. My wife was not happy with me that night. A few weeks later it came out that he tested positive.

It’s a brain teaser. How tall is Hershel Walker?

You’re right, a lot of Jets fans would like to keep that quiet. Good call!

He can have all the national prominence he wants now that the Bills have him extended at a less prominent pay rate. What a great contract for the team, and Benford and family will never hurt for money unless he’s an idiot. Now, please stop with the concussions! I wonder how much that came to people’s minds during negotiations?

If he does, he does. If Von has 12 sacks, it doesn’t hurt me at all. I don’t see it, but I won’t care (unless any come against the Bills in a certain playoff game). My advice would be not to go looking for things to worry about, but that’s just me.

Yes, many of us are just vaguely familiar with it……

…and less than 1% who would disagree with you.

Well, isn’t this an embarrassing moment. I did not know that. 🤷‍♂️ I would have guessed top 10 for sure, though.

Maybe that was an obvious punchline to some, but it was a helluva pull to me!
