I recommend “feather touch”.

It’s funny because the pig is wearing a tutu!!

Fresh stuff.

“Grogu”, lawl!!!

Good luck OP, I feel ya. Been working on a Tavern plan for a long time. Working with the SBDC at NCCC, fantastic resource if you are in the WNY area. Was planning on pitching the bank this past April. Lease in hand and everything. Thank goodness I wasn’t ready in February. I’ve already dropped some cash on architect/floorplan drawings, some graphic design as well as bits of R&D. This will count towards the 20% “up-front” portion of a small business loan. I have a killer location and amazing, patient landlords that are putting a ton into the building as well as my individual space. Small joint, aprox 42 capacity indoors and a sweet front patio that I’m hoping to seat 30-40 more for summer/festival season. Being a startup the bank definitely wants to see projections, as mentioned, as well as the detailed personal financial info that’s also been mentioned. I plan to keep the day job until we start turning a profit. Good look for the lenders. Obviously Covid has thrown a huge wrench into all of these matters. I’m currently working on a second set of projections to reflect reduced capacities. It ain’t pretty. Had to add an entire covid section to my plan; safety protocols, and the associated cost, etc. I can’t bail on this now. The location opportunity and the landlords will never be this ideal again. I have been working this plan for 5+ years, it’s my dream and my passion. Hoping to sign early next year and be ready to turn the key in spring. Nerve wracking!

I fail to see the irony.

All those Lombardis. What a crippling disability that must be.

I’ve been to hundreds of Bills games. But those 88 & 89 videos is how they will always look & feel in my mind. Some of the best times from my youth.

“Jaws” on kickoffs was fun too.

DAAAY AY AYYY OHHH

DAAAYYYYY OH

Currently drinking coffee in bed, streaming daytime gameshows, and a sleet storm is tapping on the widows. Delightful.

Oh man, this. So much this. ”Where are you from?” ”The City.” “Oh, cool, which part?” ”Well, like, 45 minutes outside The City...” ”So, Long Island??” ”Yeah, but, like I go to The City all the time.” I probably had that conversation a thousand times at UB 😂

Moorman in the ‘modern’ era, great leg, great speed on the trickery and a real good guy with charities and in the community. Paul Maguire was before my time, but I do loves me my Buffalo sports history, and I love the character and legacy of the AFL and the Bills’ place in it. And Maguire certainly was one of those characters. His TV show was great, and he seemed very humble and happy to share some humorous tales that you just don’t get from today’s league; beer swillin’ chicken wing eating contests, for example. John Kidd gets an honorable mention because I’m an 80’s junkie, and Rick Tuten gets “best name” award.

We were probably like 10 & 6, my little brother randomly stomped on a mustard packet at a concession stand and it splattered all over some dude’s jeans like 10 feet away. There was a perfect trail of mustard leading from the still underfoot packet to this guy’s pants. He had his hands full with food and drinks, I saw him look down at his jeans and watched his eyes follow the yellow line to my brother, who I promptly grabbed by the jacket and pulled back into the crowd to ‘disappear’. He obviously didn’t mean to do it but I gave him some what-for, and we didn’t tell my dad. Bro code.

Can’t lose this sunday, so there’s that.

I already feel bad enough for my brother-in-law as it is. I would never want to foist that category 5 b**ch storm upon another human being.

No thanks. Dogs only.

I love sundays at 1:00, and the routine that goes with it. The rest are too long of a wait. Even the 4pm games.

“Plucky” is what I think they meant to say.

The Hamster! Waited on him and his date one night, nicest dude ever. Also waited on Lee Evans and Rashad Baker. Evans was acting all superstar and Baker was being a nice guy, so on their way out I made it a point to “recognize” him as a Bill and not Evans. Yeah I’m sure I really showed him ha.

Because what/who else do they really have that was good or popular in their overall trash history? He called his shot and got it done in a huge media market, credit to him. Of course he walked away a hero. Since him? Idk, Al Toon? Joe Klecko? Ken O’Brien? Boomer Esiason? Hooray? Can’t cast stones though, we have the 60’s & the 90’s (and possibly the 2020’s) with huge gaps of nothing in between.

I think the real question here is would Ralph Wilson have traded Josh??

Years ago I woulda been all “rabble rabble get that extra yard!!”, but these days, I totally get the ‘self preservation’ aspect of it. Smart, imo. Save taking that hit for when you actually need that extra yard.
