Buffalo Bills rookies report to training camp today!
stevewin replied to SlimShady'sSpaceForce's topic in The Stadium Wall
Is there no media coverage of the rookies in camp this week? Thought they would at least trot a few out for a PC or something -
I Watched SB 28 In Full Last Night, Thoughts & Analysis
stevewin replied to corta765's topic in The Stadium Wall
For this SB I went to Atlanta to try to scalp tickets. I stayed with a friend who lived there and my brother flew up from Fla. My friend thought he had tickets through a 'broker' but got screwed over right before the game. Me and my brother tried for hours before the game but couldn't find tickets anywhere. We eventually quit and went to the Bills bar my friend belonged to but it was full and they weren't letting anyone in - there was a townie bar next door that suddenly took in all the (unexpected) overflow. When the fumble happened in the 2nd half I will never forget the feeling of rage and resignation. I was more than a few beers deep and can remember clear as day staring at the glass pitcher on our table and being compelled to throw it across the room - it was like a dream sequence - or a nighmare. To this day I can't believe I didn't actually throw that GD pitcher. Man that SB sucked. -
This was my experience - retry retry retry. After waiting an hour just to get in, I must have entered the promo code over 100 times over 2 hrs - most times it said invalid - some times it would say promo code valid, but then show no practices when I tried to progress - then rinse repeat promo code retry, show no practices - until finally practices showed up. Then of course it crapped out the first time I got that far and picked a practice - so I had to start all over with the promo code rinse repeat. One time it only showed 7/25, then crapped out. I was definitely sweating it out each step after I finally got all the practices listed and was able to successfully select tix. First the cart, then the actual secure tix - watching the app delay with spin icon for what seemed an interminable amount of time. I fully expected to get booted on the last step. BTW - does anyone know - are tix for the Fri 8/5 stadium practice not yet avail? I didn't see it on app (but that doesn't necessarily mean anything in the context of the crappy app)

What a mess - after tons of retries and partial success/failure finally got it to accept the promo code (not easy) and then actually load the practices (harder) and then actually process the tickets for a practice (minor miracle). Only spent 3 hrs on this - what a clusterf
-
2700 for me - I spent time before 10AM trying to familiarize, didn't see anything, then dicked around at 10AM for 5 mins trying 'Ticket' option - who knew clicking on the banner that previously did nothing but bring you to TC page would suddenly magically become the portal to registering/logging and getting tickets - and for some reason it didn't take my Ticketmaster so I had to register - what a POS
-
It says starting at 10AM - don't see anything now - hoping at 10AM something starts showing for TC tix but not sure where - Tickets currently is only game tix, maybe they wil start showing up there?

Nice read - well done. I remember this song - IIRC it was a station in Chicago that created it "Dick... Jauron Jauron Jauron Jauron..." I think when they first hired Jauron, some fans rationalized it represent Jauron's cool demeanor - then of course it eventually became a perfect anthem for the ghostly dead-eyed specter that we all remember. I actually went searching for it recently (for some reason) and found a couple references but couldn't find the actual song anywhere. It probably exists somewhere in The Upside Down Edit: OK - looked again - still didn't find the original, but found this live version - kind of a bizarro-world happy version of the melancholy original

Tommy Doyle? Thought for sure the end was going to be Josh flew down wearing a cape, rescued your dog, and winked at your girl who then fainted as he flew off

Jessica Pegula's progress in Wimbledon 2022

Jess blew it - Swiatek lost at the top of her draw - left it wide open -
Club Seats? 200 level, how are these different?
stevewin replied to Kingston Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
One other thing - if your Dad has a handicap placard for his car by all means consider using the ADA lots. Might have to wait a bit to get out - but they are really nice - right by gate to cut down walking and nice festive atmosphere w/o being over the top. If he has trouble getting around they also have guest services people inside the gate with wheelchairs who will take him to your seats (we brought our own wheelchair for my Dad last year and it was great - from ADA lot to gate right next to it (they even waved us to the front of the line ) - then once inside can take elevator to upper levels) -
Club Seats? 200 level, how are these different?
stevewin replied to Kingston Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
One other thing that's nice about the club seats for older people is people don't stand for most of the game like many/most of the people in the lower bowl now. When we take my (86 yr old Dad) we only get club seats now. -
I've said before the long diving catch Hooks made down the middle before the Hail Mary was the greatest sports play I ever saw live. I was in the EZ behind the play and saw the whole thing unfold in front of me - the catch was just spectacular - can still picture Hooks parallel to the ground just flying into view like Superman - unbelievable I've also said before earlier in the game as people were flooding towards the exists I told my brother "We're going to stay - It's going to be an Alcoa Fantastic Finish!" - a reference for the old timers

I'm sure glad Josh Allen is our quarterback
stevewin replied to Draconator's topic in The Stadium Wall
Last week I watched one of the replays of the Chiefs playoff game on NFLN they've been playing periodically just to see the 4th Q - hadn't watched since the actual game. It was absolutely incredible to watch his performance at the end of the game - just otherworldly. Clutch play after clutch play - and his attitude - just a freaking WARRIOR. It was such an amazing performance - just unbelievable. -

Good stuff - really enjoy the stuff Dion puts on there. Saw and read the Jamarcus Russell piece there - talk about a contrast -
Capitol One The Match (Allen Tattoo)
stevewin replied to TheNorwoodStrangler's topic in The Stadium Wall
The chunky comment was something Brady was just waiting to break out and had prob practiced in front if the mirror for weeks. I thought the whole thing was better once all the rehearsed "trash talk" was out of the way. I saw one interview with Josh this off-season where someone asked about his diet etc and basically he said that is one thing he really doesn't focus on at all. I think in the coming years it will be one of the next "areas of improvement" he will really work on and he will show up a ripped lean 245 block of muscle. That should be fun for DBs -

- Waaaayy too much Brady - Was better once the rehearsed trash talking got out of the way - Actually came away liking Patrick more - Josh don't quit your day job -
