  1. Yep. You didn't have a camera in my old apt. did you, because I can't figure out how else you would have known about the banana bread at 11:37. I'm glad I moved out of there. I hope for your sake some hot young lady moved in and made watching the old apt a lot more appealing than watching me bake banana bread.
  2. It was a Red Baron frozen pizza that I microwaved.
  3. Considering the Over/Under for Brows wins in 2018 is 5.5 (I've seen some at 4.5), bookies will gladly book it for you. As far as tonight's episode goes, instead of sending Gregg throat lozenges, he needs Preparation H for his entire being.
  4. It's the same way O.J. Simpson's name is properly pronounced. It's a soft O & a hard J, not the other way around.
  5. Starting in 2006 for three and a half years, some guy stood motionless on the Bills sideline and people thought he was the Bills head coach. It took until late into the 2009 season before someone got wind of it & removed him from the sidelines.
  6. I had some problems today using Chrome, then tried it in Edge & it worked fine. If you're having problems in Chrome, try a different browser. I just tried it now & when it was spinning I left clicked on the play radio/stop radio and it stopped spinning & is playing.
  7. I remember every minute of that day. I woke up at 10:17 AM that morning, ate a bagel with orange juice for breakfast, then went into the bathroom & showered, then got dressed & put on a Bills sweatshirt. For lunch I ate a personal pizza with a 20 oz. bottle of Coke. I turned on the TV and watched the Jets dominate Carolina and at 4 I switched to the Bills game at NE. I remember every play & every commercial. I especially liked a local commercial for a car dealer where the owner dressed up like a chicken and I yelled at the screen "You look just like Pete Carroll" as I mocked the then-Patriots head coach. Then came the hail mary and I was cursing at the TV. I then ate dinner & watched TV before going to sleep at 11:37 PM.
  8. This is the best answer I've seen yet as to why we didn't take Watson or Mahomes in 2017. The real irony is that if Rex Ryan hadn't been fired, he would have pushed hard for Watson considering Rex's ties to Clemson.
  9. Now available at NFL.com. Go to the bottom of the home page, hit Media Info, the book is on the 2nd line on the left side. Here's a link, It should work if your device can handle a big file: http://www.nfl.com/static/content/public/photo/2018/08/09/0ap3000000946101.pdf
  10. Good. Allen needs to insult you after all the insults you've thrown at him.
  11. But he'll finish the Super Bowl in victory formation in 2-3 years.
  12. The only thing other than his name that I want to hear Allen called is Super Bowl Champion.
  13. Keep all 3 this year. Start Allen in the 2nd half of the season & evaluate after the season is over. If Allen plays well enough to be the unquestioned starter, then you trade 1 of the 2 , 2nd stringers, but only for something of value. If you can't get something decent, keep all three in 2019. If Allen hasn't earned the starters job by the end of this season, nobody gets traded.
  14. I've done plenty of games alone. I'm going to my 3rd game in Baltimore alone on opening day. Most of the road games I go to I'm alone. I've also done road games alone in Philadelphia (2) and New England (a few, some I've gone with others, some alone). I've been to 6 Super Bowls, 2 of them I was alone at. ( XXV in Tampa & the Denver/Seattle game in NJ where I drove down the day of the game). The more expensive the game/trip, the more likely I can't get anyone to go with me. I gave up my seasons a few years ago because I couldn't get Petrino to go to more than 2-3 games a year & I didn't like being alone for more than half the home games, but a road game once in a while is still OK.
  15. I finally bit the bullet & paid $35.88 for a year's worth of Bills stories. For less than $3/month, I thought it was worth it.
  16. They're going to say it was Coleman's weed in Callaway's car ?
  17. 5 janitorial jobs, 1 sewer job & a job at the racetrack cleaning out the stalls.
  18. There's another one: Back in the 1980s the Bills were the laughingstock of the league, having lost 1st rounder Jim Kelly to the USFL & losing Joe Cribbs to the USFL and coming off a 2-14 season. The Bills had the top pick in the supplemental draft in 1985 & traded it to Cleveland. Amazingly, back in those days, Bernie Kosar was able to maneuver his way to the supplemental draft BEFORE the NFL draft was held, so the Bills/Cleveland deal was made almost 3 weeks before the regular NFL draft. One part of the deal was LB Chip Banks, who refused to go to the Bills. When Banks refused to report, Cleveland shipped their 1st rounder in 1985 (their 1986 1st rounder had already been included in the deal) to the Bills instead. The Bills then traded it (pick 7) to Green Bay for GB's 1st (pick 14) and 2nd. The Bills took Derrick Burroughs & Chris Burkett with the 2 picks from GB.
  19. GB waived Brian Brohm at the end of preseason of his sophomore year***. A few years ago some team cut their 2nd round pick as a rookie. One year, Minnesota cut their 1st round rookie because they realized he was a mental case in preseason. EDIT: Here's what I saw on a message board after a search: Dimitrius Underwood selected in the first round (29th) of the 1999 NFL Draft by the Vikings. Sad / bizarre story from Wiki: He signed a five-year, $5.3 million contract on August 1, 1999, and walked out of training camp the next day after the first practice and never returned. He forfeited a $1.75 million bonus saying he could not resolve the conflict between playing football and serving his Christian faith. Although he eventually returned, he was released later that month. He was claimed on waivers by the Miami Dolphins as 23 teams passed on him. ... Multiple times during team meetings, Underwood was found not taking notes, but instead writing about the apocalypse. He only played one preseason game for the Dolphins before getting injured.[3] In September 1999, Underwood was arrested by police for failure to pay child support. Within 24 hours, he attempted to commit suicide by slashing his own neck with a cutlass before repeatedly yelling "I'm not worthy of God". ... Underwood later spent two months in protective care and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. After he escaped from a psychiatric care facility, he was released from the Dolphins on December 17, 1999.[6] On March 10, 2000, he signed a two-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys... In January 2001, he tried to kill himself for the second time by running into traffic twice on a busy suburban highway. The Cowboys released him later that month after he missed practice. ***-I still can't believe there were fans around here who thought we stole Brohm off GB's practice squad and that he would be our long term answer at QB-especially considering who was running the team at the time compared with the other 30 GMs who made no attempt to pick up Brohm off waivers in September.
  20. He's a lock to still be employed by the Bills. If he's struggling I could see the team stashing him away for a while on IR.
  21. The NCAA just revoked all future college eligibility.
  22. He picked off Peterman & ran it back for a TD on the 1st play of practice.
