  1.  

    I think it’s best if we put “is it a record” to the side. The point should be that we spread the ball around. We are looking for games to see where we’ve done more, but what if we look at all the games where we did less. 

     

    It’s one game. Let’s stay healthy, keep piling up wins and see what it looks like with a bigger sample size. 

  2. If the halftime show was any good, when would I go to the bathroom?

    As someone that spent 13 years in New Orleans, I’m not happy with the Kendrick Lamar choice (at all). I like Kendrick quite a bit too.

     

    New Orleans is the home of American Music. You need a big name to headline the Super Bowl. This absolutely should have been Lil Wayne, with John Batiste, St. Aug Marching 100 and Trombone Shorty (amongst others). This should be New Orleans. The NFL missed the mark here. 

     

    I believe Salt Lake City is the home of (the) Jazz. 

     

    Not only doesn’t it fit, but why not rake in all the merchandise $$$ by rebranding a bit? I never got that.

    Does anyone have any idea on whether the 9 receivers is a Bills record?

     

    I can’t answer the question (although it’s posted above that there was at least a tie), but it does remind me of the way the other Brady (Tom) used to piss me off. He’d have 11 completions in the first quarter to 8-9 different guys. You never knew where he’d go next and you have to try to cover it all. There’s a lot to be said for that.

    I actually predict it will help it. Remove tension in his grip. Give him more lag on the release. It’s the real silver lining in this episode! 

     

    Good to know, he should have done this much sooner! 

     

    Oh, wait……..

    Yes.  It's very personal and private for them.  I respect their wishes.

     

    Also, glad Jessica didn't say anything "Bills" related.  It was her accomplishments.

     

    I don’t recall the exact wording, but I have a sneaky feeling she was baited into those Bills comments a couple rounds ago, but that was all in good fun. No problems there. I didn’t have sound at the bar, but she is a person I trust in front of a camera. It’s hard not to like and appreciate her. She has a lot of her mom in her, and that’s an awesome thing.

    It’s hard to believe there has been no mention of Pegula significant personal burden with her mom…yet we have to hear about this woman’s piker gangster boyfriend who was tossed off a Miami balcony.  Boooooo F’ing hoooo

     

    I think Jess and the family would prefer it that way. I was in a bar with no sound, but I can’t let that brother me.

    That's a really pessimistic look at how he's been. "Trash" is nonsense. 

     

    Basically, when healthy he's been good. His first year he was really looking good at times, particularly for a rookie and particularly late in the season when he started to get used to the speed in the NFL. He's trended up and is continuing to do so.

     

    No guarantee this works, of course, but IMO smart getting him early for a discount.

     

    We got some bookends.

     

     

     

    I think the back surgery and subsequent recovery also held back his development more than a lot of people realize. The team knows where he stands.

  8. Well, that didn’t take much to get things rolling as kickoff approaches. 

     

    The bar is low when our emotions are high. 

     

    EDIT: Could this be about Commander Tom? I really liked him.

    My kid took a two year “sabbatical” to go to the Sorbonne in 2021. He raved about Paris. He recently went back to NYC, he wants out. His new firm is London based, he’s hoping to be there permanently soon. 
     

    We’re going to Paris next week for two days on a guided tour, I wasn’t too keen initially about going, but, after seeing what London is like, I am looking forward to it. 
     

    On a side note, went shopping at Tesco, bought their brand grocery items, read the ingredients. My kid had told me, and sure you know it, but had to see it for myself. You don’t see all the ***** ingredients in their products that are allowed in U.S. foods.

     

    I think you’ll be very glad you worked in a taste of Paris. I loved it, as most people do. My wife asked our guide one day why there is so little obesity compared to what we are used to. The guide stopped and waved her hand at everything around us and said “look around, everybody walks or rides a bike to get around.” She had a point. 

     

    I like getting at least a taste of the highlights. We did a cruise from Barcelona (love it!) to Lisbon right before Covid. I’m glad that travel is pretty much back to normal, because I feel like I’m playing catch-up and I want to do it while I’m young enough to enjoy it. 

     

    Good luck to your son finding the right opportunity in the right place.

    I haven’t been to NYC since 2019, but went there routinely as my kid lives there, since 2007. I stayed in Manhattan every time. There was always some sort of blight, homelessness, unsavory looking types back then. My kid says it’s much worse now. 
     

    I haven’t see anything remotely close here, so far. It’s immaculately clean in comparison and far safer feeling, as you noted. 

     

    My wife is in NYC a LOT and says it’s clearly worse since Covid. It just feels dirty everywhere! London is pristine by comparison. I came out of my hotel in Paris one morning and they were power washing the sidewalks!  I’ve never seen THAT in NYC!

    You know it, thank goodness for google maps.

     

    It’s amazing in the West End. Thousands of restaurants and shoppes line all the streets, no empty store fronts. 
     

    Only mentioned the incident because some warned protests were raging and that was proof of it.

     

    Fact is, it’s as safe as could be. Trafalger Square 5 minute walk. This is going to be a fantastic vacation.

     

    I went to NYC not long after being in London last year. It made me appreciate even more how clean and safe London feels in comparison. 

     

    ENJOY!!!

  12. I just drove down what I used to think was the most beautiful street in the world. It hasn’t changed at all, but I have. It’s a bunch of bad architecture designed to impress, without actually being impressive (in a good way). I then drove thru Woodstream Farms, and it seems as lovely as ever.
