On Macy's parade they just had a New York Life float with a "performance" by ... Foreigner? Or some facsimilie - is Foreigner really Foreigner without "Rochester's own Lou Gramm"? (the years I was in college in Rochester in the 80s I don't think I ever heard a Foreigner song on the radio without also hearing the DJ say "Rochester's own Lou Gramm") -

This will make for a great Hard Knocks next week as well -
Approach the stadium from Big Tree Road / 20a and take a right on Abbott. Abbott is only closed directly adjacent to the stadium - it is open up to the ADA lot
-
The check in the line is cursory, but there is a random secondary spot check for some once they get in stadium https://buffalonews.com/news/local/about-1-of-bills-fans-referred-to-secondary-review-for-vaccination-proof-at-highmark-stadium/article_eb5b1ef0-2217-11ec-b679-bf3347823b9d.html Also esp if it is raining would recommend doing the app. My nephew brought his card to the 10/3 game in the rain and it later disintegrated in his pocket (granted most people would take better care of it by why even worry about it if you can use the app)

More likely fowl host - amirite 😛 -
Talk about journalistic malfeasance, I initially watched it w/o audio and kept waiting for the "oh no no no no no no" reference - then thought it was going to be Stef pulling up lame after catching the pass - thank God it was just a stupid head bonking

Just realized the in- season Hard Knocks with the Colts premieres tonight. Means a future episode should include Bills game

Sounds like maybe too much sugar before going to bed 😛

After some deliberation we decided to do ADA lot 2 instead of ADA lot 6, because it has more spots around the perimeter to set up. We decided to target 10 AM to get there - since it was raining we didn't think as many people would be getting there early (and trying to get my brother, son, nephew, and Dad going early in the AM is like herding a bunch of very slow tired cats). We got to the ADA lot a 10 AM and it was already almost full. We were very lucky to get the last spot on the perimeter to set up our canopy. My recommendation would be to plan to get there early, even as early as around 9 when it opens, esp if you want to set up around one of the perimeter spots. The ADA lot was hopping - people had their setups and it was an extremely fun vibe (even with the rain) without being over the top crazy. We were joking with my Dad that we should have been doing this for years (he's had the placard I think for years but never used it - I didn't even know he had one til recently). Also bonus - a number of convenient port-a-potties in the lot We found a transport wheelchair in my Dad's garage from an injury he had a few years ago and took that. Having the wheelchair from the parking lot made things so much easier. My Dad has slowed down a bit in the last year - just a couple years ago he was still making the walk from private lots off Abbot (albeit with a number of stops) and always angrily waved of any mention of us trying to figure out a wheelchair or way to get him to the stadium. This time he willingly accepted it - and it was absolutely key. He is still mobile, but I think even the walk from the lot to the seats would have been really tough on him. Wheeling up to the gate there were long lines, but staff immediately came over and moved us up to the front to get in. It was like a Disney fastpass. Once we got in, we stopped at an information booth and they directed us to the elevators to get to the upper deck. There are unmarked doors near the center of the stadium that lead to the elevator. Also, I did see at least one guest service person inside the gate with a wheelchair for transportation (funny how you can go to a place for years and not notice certain things) One thing that was strange to me was for the elevator to the top level, we asked if there was a place to leave the wheelchair when my Dad walked to our seats, and surprisingly they really didn't have a separate room or anything for that - we ended just leaving it in the elevator lobby. I think that is just part of some of the ad hoc nature of the current handicapp infrastructure in the current stadium which has been highlighted as part of the new stadium discussion. One thing I cannot emphasize enough is how awesome and helpful every single guest services person we encountered was. Exceptional. They all really went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of and were extemely friendly and caring. It was also very cool how may fans high-fived my Dad and shouted encouraging things as we wheeled him inside the gates. It was absolutely pouring after the game and we had resigned ourselves before the game that we would just plan to hang out after and let the traffic thin out. We probably waited about 45 mins to an hour til Abbot was opened up and traffic was moving (that was after really taking our time leaving the inside of the stadium) So my advice would be plan to get to the ADA lot early - especially if you are setting anything up. Having a wheelchair from the lot really made things easy - bypassed the lines at the gate and smooth sailing inside the gate. The guest services people were extremely helpful and friendly with any help/questions. Have fun! - Go Bills!

You need to ask Patrick's Mom -
Collinsworth "Watch how many moves one two three four five" Watches receiver almost trip and fall after one move.

If Lions had gotten out of bounds on that last play they would have had a chance for a long FG - didn't seem like they were even trying to before time ran out
