Another Fan

You're not alone in feeling this... I'm around a similar age as you and have been with my company and same job for 10 years also. My case is ironic in a way, my job caused me a lot of job related anxiety over the years. To which I've PM'd members here on the side about as well. You included I'm pretty sure (I think I remember you telling me your wife is a big Bills fan too and you know this was the one). But yeah anyway overtime I built a certain level of comfort at my job. At the same time though I don't think anyone these days should ever really get too comfortable. But yeah my issues now at work just feel like largely just burnout from the industry I'm in and trying to find meaning in every day life kind of thing. I mean yeah I suppose I could find another job in my industry but it would just feel same crap different company/faces kinda deal. I would want to lean toward leaving this industry all together. But yeah I get it

From memory despite all their albums and what not they did..... they all hated each other back in the day as well. Like I want to say they broke each other's bones in backstage fights. Still sad though.... it's like Hall and Oates together for over 40 plus years but today they have restraining orders against each other.

I never actually met Donald Jones but I only picked up on that he was Plainfield, NJ born and raised after he retired (it’s not far from where I grew up. I still shop in the city quite a bit). I gained a lot of respect for him over the years. Besides still being very much a Bills fan in retired life he’s now the head football coach at Plainfield High today trying to mentor the youth. I know when he was a Bill I sort of used to think couldn’t we have at least a drafted receiver. But then there’s the perception of look how hard he worked to became a pro being undrafted. What like .001 percent of high school football players make it as far as he did.

Fantasy baseball was around back then? As I get older though the mental aspect of the game really interests me. Like Mark Sanchez was being interviewed about the butt fumble and he said while it was really embarrassing he looks back on and laughs. Almost like yeah f it. Meanwhile Craig Ehlo had to seek out therapy for how many times Michael would get the better of him. I mean imo Craig had a pretty good career and Michael dominated everyone… I guess in that sense I can respect Mark for not making his whole life about that play

I remember Edgar Martinez as a good hitter. But had no appreciation for the guy until I read more about him. Worked in a factory at one point before he tried out for the Mariners. Quiet, hard working, stayed with the same franchise 17 years. Nobody ever says a bad thing about him… Yeah growing up I appreciate him more today

A certain other thread made me nostalgic when these two were the most popular pop girls. And dang this picture is 25 years old already.

I remember her! Most downloaded woman on the internet at one time

I wouldn't say I ever liked Taylor but I respected her. She went from I think bullied girl to top of the music world. Some of her music I think is still catchy as well like Shake It Off. That being said the combination of seeing her like everywhere and with the Kelce's who can come across as attention seeking as well..... I'm just sort of like over them. That being said this skit was really funny

Great film

I still think of him a little whenever I hear Tyrone Taylor 😁

@SinceThe70s @Gugny @ExWNYer Being positive I think the team really has something with Nolan. I know it’s a bit early but hoping he’s a lifer as a Met.

No Good Deed with Ray Romano, Lisa Kudrow, and Linda Cardellini...... aah was all right. not great but decent enough I finished it

I personally don’t like at all. But then again there is that saying Hate the game not the players

Yeah kind of like with the return of Beavis and Butthead. I thought that movie a few years ago was solid. But when I tried watching new episodes of it I just wan't feeling it after a few of them. Then again though I saw some commercials for some new episodes and it looked kind of funny. So maybe I'll give it another chance

Boomer has always been kinda a d-bag though

I'm pretty sure I think I mentioned this to you at some point. I know ABC some years back tried to re-create this, TGIF. I remember a modern Wonder years was included. I thought after watching it for 10 minutes this was the biggest pile of manure. I thought it was awful. lol

I know there are some pretty big baseball fans here. Ngl I only discovered him because his daughter Lana Parrilla is really hot. And in my typical nerdy ways reading about her I read about her father. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Parrilla Only played in the big leagues one year but was shot and killed by a 15 year old in Brooklyn in 1994. That sounds really horrible. I suppose I could have started an athletes that died way too young thread but that would seem very depressing.

This could go in your nostalgic thread but my dad was a big fan of them. Enough so he took me to my first Broadway play based on their music back in the day. Actually now that I think of it Annie was the only other Broadway play I’ve been too…, was an 8th grade graduation trip

In New Jersey back in the early 90's I remember all the older kids in grade school had Raiders jackets. Sort of like Grandmaster B LOL. I actually thought it was like a pre requisite to being a safety patrol in school. Yeah 49ers and Cowboys jackets were common. Perhaps because the Giants and Jets weren't that good most of the 90s because their jackets actually weren't like popular. Even being in this area. Bills jokes about losing Super Bowls were always around but I never sensed any actual hatred toward them. Starter jackets were back in the day actually pretty common in general..... I will never forget this one Puerto Rican girl I used to go to school with. For years she had a Washington Redskins starter jacket but honestly I'm pretty sure cared less about the team. Remember these guys? It was the style!!!

Like they always push food on you if it’s there or available? My grandmother was like that. There’s some people I work with like that too. I mean I understand a lot of times that’s a sign of love and affection kind of thing…. but it can get annoying sometimes too. lol. Especially if I just ate

Party on guys!
