  1. "Gaining a non-relocation agreement, which included a $400 million penalty "bomb" if the team were to move, was a sticking point. Instead of that agreement, the team wanted lease language in which the Bills promised to reimburse the state and county stadium for renovation costs if the team moved." I'd say it was a little of both, since the Bills' proposal would have included a $210M relocation penalty.
  2. Eleanor Rigby Picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been. Lives in a dream. Waits at the window Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door. Who is it for? All the lonely people Where do they all come from? All the lonely people Where do they all belong?
  3. In the early 80s, Larry Norton did a stunt at Darien Lake. He broke the record for most consecutive hours on a Ferris wheel. I happened to be there at the time. People could pay to ride in the seat with him, with all the money going to a charity. The line was really long and I was a broke college student, so I didn't do it.
  4. Me too. I was excited when MT expanded beyond the greater Buffalo area and finally built one in my home town. Then I tried it and was underwhelmed. Never went back again. I don't think it lasted more than a year there.
  5. "I do a lot of work with unwed mothers. You know, just helping them get their start." - Steve Martin
  6. They get their teammates who otherwise would have been suspended for a BS reason.
  7. The throw was a little bit behind the receiver. If Josh had hit him in stride, he could have swam for a TD.
  8. Currently: 6 divisional games 4 games against one division in your conference 4 games against one division in the other conference 2 games against teams in the other two divisions in your conference who placed the same in their respective divisions Extra 2 games: You play those last two teams twice each: once at home and once away.
  9. Who caught the pass? Let's bring him in for a workout. ?
  10. Two more meaningful games plus an extra bye week effectively extends the regular season by 3 weeks. I'm in favor of that. But I hate the 16 game restriction on players. Increase the roster size instead.
  11. Without a warning you broke my heart Takin' it baby, tore it apart And you left me standin' in the dark Said your love for me was dyin' Come on baby, baby please Come on baby, I'm on my knees Turn on your light Let it shine on me Turn on your lovelight Let it shine on me Let shine, let it shine, let it shine
  12. I wonder if Mike Vrabel would do that to win a Super Bowl.
  13. If they're gonna tag you, they should pay you the average of the top five salaries on this board.
  14. I know about the GFCI stuff, but I've never owned a home whose fridge was on its own breaker. (Maybe the other two houses were wired wrong?) The fridge only draws about 8A, and even accounting for the brief current surge from the compressor startup, it's much less than what a 20A kitchen circuit can handle.
  15. My great aunt knows Shane Conlan's family. I think she met him once or twice, too. She lives in Frewsburg NY, Shane's home town, and she went nuts when the Bills drafted him. She's 96 now, and still a fan.
  16. Nobody knows you When you're down and out. Look in your pocket, not even a penny, As for friends, well, you don't have any. When you get back on your feet again, Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend. It's mighty strange, but without a doubt, Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
  17. A few weeks ago I opened the fridge and the light didn't turn on. Troubleshooting time: 1. Nothing else in the kitchen was out, so I assumed the breaker hadn't been tripped. 2. I'd just replaced the bulb so I was pretty sure it wasn't burned out, but to confirm that, I cranked the temperature to the extreme lowest. When the compressor didn't kick on, I figured the fridge was dead. (It's about 9 years old.) So the wife, son, and I hauled all the food downstairs to the "auxiliary" fridge. (It's mostly for beer and wine, but it sometimes holds Thanksgiving leftovers and stuff that doesn't fit in the kitchen fridge.) The next day, my wife and I had a discussion about getting it fixed vs just buying a new one. As I researched various brands and models, I started thinking more about the breaker. Is it possible that nothing else in the kitchen is on that circuit, and that's why all the other appliances worked? So I checked the breaker box and, sure enough, one breaker had tripped. I turned it back on and the fridge magically came to life. Whoever wired the house put the fridge outlet on its own circuit. (This is the third house we've owned and I've never seen that before.) And yes, I owned up to it and hauled all the stuff back up to the main fridge myself.
  18. Elves don't exist either.
  19. I often wondered that, so I finally looked it up a couple of years ago. Turns out, it wasn't built below sea level; people sank it. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/02/how-humans-sank-new-orleans/552323/ https://www.nola.com/news/environment/article_9e74b44c-6aad-51b0-adcb-af07a317c966.html https://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2016/0518/How-fast-is-New-Orleans-sinking-Faster-and-faster-says-new-study
  20. Here by sea and sand Nothing ever goes as planned I just couldn't face going home It was just a drag on my own They finally threw me out My mom got drunk on stout My dad couldn't stand on two feet As he lectured about morality Now I guess the family's complete With me hanging 'round on the street Or here on the beach
  21. Generals gathered in their masses, Just like witches at black masses Evil minds that plot destruction, Sorcerer of death's construction In the fields the bodies burning, As the war machine keeps turning Death and hatred to mankind, Poisoning their brainwashed minds Oh Lord yeah Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role for the poor
  22. It's easy to confuse the two sounds; they both suck.
  23. I'm not sure. He's an old college buddy and I only see him once a year or so. I know he's had chronic back pain for years, and in the past, he sometimes had to use a cane when the pain was bad. (He was in his 40s at the time.) That's when he got the opioid prescription, but he didn't like taking those. When medical cannabis was legalized in NY, his MD gave him a prescription for it. He says it works well.
  24. My friend vapes prescription CBD for his back pain. He said it works better than the opioids that had been prescribed before CBD was legalized in NY for medical use.
