Whites Bay

We need "Oglethorpe". Those of you who remember the movie "Slap Shot" with Paul Newman will know what I'm talking about.

Not to get off topic, but chiming in to agree. This is what I observed as well. And during that 1984 season you really couldn't blame Shula. That was terrifying. And then it just got predicable.

Overlooking Whites Bay, of course.

Good point on charging the phone. The family text thread will be humming this evening...

I'll tell you what...they lose tomorrow and I'll see all y'all somewhere around Draft Day. This place will be a shrieking hellscape for awhile. I have a life I have to get back to living.

Oh, about 20-25 crusaders on this board who will NEVER give it up. Sorry - did I say the quiet part out loud?

This again...

When he first came into the league, I described him to my family as "Baby Huey". Younger people on this forum won't get it. But I also described him as "Elway 2.0".

This is where my head is, and it pretty much started after the Lions game. And, yeah, I get it - the Lions Defense when the Bills played them was not the Lions Defense at the beginning of the year when it looked like they were the odds-on favorite to be in the Super Bowl. But what impressed me about that particular game (okay, on the rewatch) was the movement and sheer power of the offensive line. My god, the way the tackles are pulling and just LIGHTING PEOPLE UP. I'm looking for flags to be thrown just for sheer violence. The national narrative is "Josh Allen, Josh Allen, Josh Allen...". Yep. It should be. But Allen has enough time to get a barbecue going back there this year. It's just a wicked combination to have THAT quarterback (who has really matured, and it seems to me "calmed down" (girlfriend situation has really turned around)) directing traffic behind THAT offensive line. I'm not predicting victory this weekend AT ALL. My BBFS is strong. But this ain't going to be the beatdown that we saw the last time the Bills faced the Ravens.

Probably Space Food Sticks. Not going to have much of an appetite.

The entire album was on the macabre side. That was the point. I bought it in vinyl a million years ago. A Direct-to-Disc on YELLOW vinyl! Still have it kicking around someplace. Might have to dig it out now...

That's kind of blunt. I prefer "s*x towel". But your post takes the prize.

Tell me we're not going back to Brees...

I would GUESS that it's (1) physically closest to the home team and (2) it's the closest to the actual playing conditions. Indoor vs. Outdoor. Who knows? Might have to do with number of hotel rooms available. But this is just coming from an idiot with a keyboard. No idea.

Snow I can shovel, and my Outback has new snow tires. I lived in south Orange County for 10 years in the shadow of Saddleback. I remember one year (I think it was 1988) coming back up from San Diego, just where I-5 turns inland from the coast at Dana Point. There was a big fire on the Elsinore side of Saddleback, and from the Pacific coast the mountain looked like an erupting volcano. A volcano in front of my house. Went home, got all the papers and critical items in the car and waited. Man, that's a helpless feeling. "You sail away from the light of the world on this trip, baby."
