  1. My first game was when my parents took me to a Monday Night Game, Bills vs Dolphins, in 1981. Fast forward 10 years later, I took my Dad to Bills vs Dolphins, 1991 AFC Divisional Round. The game where Tasker ran a muffed kick off some 70 yards to the Dolphins 5 yard line. One vivid memory of that game was Marino going up and down his offensive line sitting on the bench just going off on them. We all know the outcome of that game.
  2. You think in terms of convenience
  3. All students at my wife's center receive 1 on 1 lessons. All of her teachers are trained in Orton Gillingham at a minimum of 30 hours of classroom training. Most have 70 hours. Each lesson is designed specifically for the individual student to meet them where they are at. We have seen amazing success going to this method. For years we used the Barton Reading and Spelling Method, and we have 2 teachers that have Master's Level training in Barton. But once a student is stuck at a specific lesson in Barton, there's no real direction on how to get them unstuck. With my wife's teachers writing their own lessons, when a student is stuck on a particular area, the teachers know what to do in helping the student get through their problem area and to advance.
  4. If he didn't, we should all pitch in and buy him a trough from the old stadium, and hook it up in his living room. At the very least, it would be a conversation piece.
  5. Almost 11 years ago, my wife Jen started WNY Dyslexia Specialists. It is a Literacy Center for Children and Adults who fit the Dyslexia profile. We have seen the business grow to where we have close to 50 students, with a massive waiting list. The issue as to why we can't meet the needs of those on the waiting list, is finding enough qualified teachers who can teach our program, and providing the needed resources to find those teachers. My wife has been thinking about making the move to a Not For Profit for years, and now is the time. WNY Dyslexia Specialists is transforming to WNY Dyslexia Education Center. This will allow us to put the needed resources towards finding the qualified teachers to meet the need. It will also allow us to offer scholarships to those families that need our services, but cannot afford the cost of our program. So today is the soft launch of the Not For Profit. We are doing this by asking for folks to pledge to be a Founding Member of WNY Dyslexia Education Center. You can remain anonymous, or you can be listed as a Founding Member. This is just a pledge. No money is due now. If you would like to do so, the form to fill out the pledge is https://forms.gle/RjQU8CxXqk59k4sUA. Thank you all for reading this, and if you should so choose, making a pledge!
  6. I think an early Christmas present to myself is in my future! Thank you!
  7. My parents had season tickets to the first year at the current stadium. They had matching Bills rain ponchos, with the standing Buffalo helmet on them. I wish I still had those. I always thought those were so cool.
  8. Did you call him up and ask him this personally?
  9. If Trubisky was the starting QB, the fans would 100% embrace this identity. Thing is, we all have seen what Josh can do, and want him unleashed. The other thing is, Josh also embraces the Power Running identity.
  10. Why should I debate you when all you're going to do is tell me how bad the Bills are?
  11. You're more suited to be a Dolphins fan.
  12. Bills fans who thought that Pittsburg would beat us handily and the only victory would have been Josh escaping this game without a season ending injury have ruined me.
  13. Is it wrong to say I want to do Kohl's Mom?
  14. Nacua is the best WR in the league. In my opinion, it's not even close
  15. Nacua with the best catch seen in a long time
  16. Good play call by SF for the touchdown
  17. Two touchdowns for Tampa called back because of holding penalties Big man touchdown in Tampa. Tristan Wirfs
  18. Dare to say the Jacksonville game is over?
  19. Pick 6 for Carolina. Stafford threw it right to him.
