Bill from NYC

There is nothing like Ted's in these parts. The open flame taste is great! Once in a while I cook Hebrew Nationals on the grill and they are good, but I prefer Ted's beef franks. At my age I shouldn't eat too many franks.

Ted's and Anderson's for fast food. Cafe Aroma (Williamsville) for Italian. Eagle House (Williamsville) for American. Trust me Bro, you will NOT be sorry!!!! I will be up there later this month and will hit all 4 of these great places.

Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the preacher And it seems, nobody's interested in learning, but the teacher Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to my nation Ball of confusion Oh yeah, that's what the world is today Woo, hey, hey

You say that once knew for sure But now you're walkin' into shore to wonder* The more you learn the less you know The more you move the more you go to nowhere* You ask a bird as she flies by Just where she's at she says, where the wind blows*

Somebody yelled out at me Country music and company, kind of makes it On a Sunday afternoon Picnic lunches of yesterday Should still have a place in your heart today Think it over Cause we'll all be goin' home so soon

This is great news. I truly wish that there was a way to honor Joel Buchsbaum. He did get some sort of award in 2003 but imo he was THE best sportswriter to ever cover football and especially the draft. If he was alive today he would be a multi-millionaire He died WAY too soon. 😟

When I was just a little young boy Papa said, "Son, you'll never get far" I'll tell you the reason, if you wanna know 'Cause child of mine, there isn't really very, Far to go

You're thinking Maybe if you said goodbye You'll understand the reason why The love you had felt so cruel Oh, but it's all right (all right) Once you get past the pain (Past the pain) You'll learn to find your love again So keep your heart open 'Cause love will find a way

1) Myself 2) The entire team.

By the time the season is over, Josh Allen being the best QB in the NFL is NOT beyond the realm of possibility. A healthy Josh Allen gets better. The only question is by how much.

Now that you're gone All that's left is a band of gold All that's left of the dreams I hold Is a band of gold And the memories, of what love could be If you were, still here with me

Your post is filled with great info. Wrt police suicides, the number of them in big city departments is surely higher than in small towns. Being a cop in some surroundings is probably a great life, despite today's climate. There were severalyears in which the NYPD had 10 or more suicides, this in a dept, with approx. 35,000 police officers (since they were combined with the Transit and Housing Police). These horrible stats do not count retirees.

I am very glad to hear this. Hopefully this holds up ater they have been married for a while and the number of divorces increases.

The highest suicide rate sadly belongs to police officers. Years ago it was dentists. I am not posing as an expert, but I suspect that people who feel, or in fact are hated are more prone to suicide than others. At one point NYPD cops were killing themselves at an alarming rate. A union trustee started an organization to help cops so that they could seek help without being labled by the job and having their careers ruined. Along with others, I contributed money. Eventually, the job was dragged into supporting it and now they get hundreds (if not thousands) of calls per year from cops seeking help, and highly trained peer counsellors are there to offer the needed assistance. I was unaware of high suicide numbers for gays. I hope that they too have support groups and suspect that they do. I pray that those in need take advantage of the great help that is out there. One last thing about suicides.....almost all of the many that I was personally aware of involved relationships. One police officer screwed up an accident report, and a lieutenant told him he was getting a minor counselling. He went upstairs to the locker room and blew his brains out. This was an exception but even at that something else was certainly involved. Divorce was the major cause from what I saw, and with gay marriages being legal now I hope that this doesn't develop into a problem. Sorry to ramble. I knew many people who committed suicide and this is a painful subject to me. PLEASE seek help if anyone is ever chronically depressed. It gets better.

Gee, I wonder why a man that size would require a bodyguard.

I thought I knew you I guess I took myself Right down the wrong road Leading to the past I know you're trying To rearrange your mind But you were lying Do you laugh in my face Turn back turn back the pages Who remembers names? Who remembers faces? Turn back, don't drive yourself crazy Life's too short for ritualistic chases

Some great comments from Booger McFarland.

She brushes the curls from my eyes She drops her robe on the floor And she reaches for the light on the bureau And the darkness is her pillow once more. How she makes me quiver How she makes me smile With all this love I have to give her I guess I'm gonna stay with her a while.

I am not the biggest fan of his show but the man sums it up 100% in this clip imo. Opinions?

Agreed but the bolded is changing, and rapidly. NYC residents have been flocking to Long Island at an unbelieveable rate. They are purchasing houses over the asking price, sight unseen. For real esate sales people, there is virtually no inventory. The reasons are simple: 1) People are working from home. Why not enjoy a nice yard, etc. On Long Island you are currently unable to get an inground pool installed until October according to a pool store that I recently visited, and an above ground 18' round (installed) will now run at least 7 thousand dollars, probably much more. 2) Rich white people in NYC are paying 40K per year per child (sometimes more) to send their kiddies to segregated private schools. When they get out to Long Island, Westchester, etc. and the property taxes are close to (if not more than) 20 K, to them it is a steal. 3) Shootings in NYC are up 78% year to date. I will not get into the reasons, but don't expect these numbers to go down for quite some time. It is only going to get worse and stay that way for a long while. I do not claim to know it all but I have lived through crime trends like this. They are easy enough to spot after after having experienced them first hand. At this point, I am advising against visiting NYC unless you really feel like you know where you are going. That said, do as you will. My guess is an educated one but ultimately it is still jmo.

I was somewhat with you until after the first paragraph. Not as good as Spiller? 😁😁😁😂😂😂😮😮😮

Yellow is the color of my true love's hair In the morning, when we rise In the morning, when we rise That's the time, That's the time I love the best

Doing it in what way MV? What school large or small played as many games as Alabama last season?

Red lights flashing Through the window in the rain Can you hear the sirens moan? White cane lying in a gutter in the lane If you're walking home alone Don't let it bring you down It's only castles burning Find someone who's turning And you will come around

Many college teams do not go all out for bowl games that cannot lead to a championship. Countless players even sit out these games, but I think that you already knew this. Alabama just lost 3 of the 5 Heisman trophy finalists, and another (Jaylen Waddle) was injured or he might have made it 4 of 5. All played on the offensive side. Clemson lost Trevor Lawrence and co. Ohio State lost God knows who and these teams will still be great. That said, the NCAA seems willing to throw bones at 8 weaker teams and in doing so, increase the injury rate of the players (who are almost exclusively poor kids) just to increase profits. And they will do this under the guise of giving inferior programs a supposed "chance" to win the title. Fat chance.
