If I had to spend the rest of my days in a place like Jacksonville, I'd seriously contemplate ending it all. I know lots of others feel differently. Are you a 22 year old millionaire? No 22 year old millionaire is spending “the rest of their days” anywhere.

I'll rephrase: If I had to spend a substantial chunk of my life in Jacksonville, I'd contemplate ending it all daily, but probably wouldn't do it because of hope for better times eventually.

Some people just don’t appreciate a beautiful golf course, a beautiful beach, beautiful weather and multimillion dollar homes. At least you have the cultural Mecca of Pautler’s Burgers and Shakes.

While I have friends and family in Buffalo and visit it often enough, I have lived for the past three decades years in Manhattan, Northwest DC, Hollywood/West Hollywood, and Brooklyn (for the past 20 years). Re: Buffalo, though, check out places like the Hotel Henry. Or check out some of its genuinely amazing architectural legacy. There are a lot of cool things going on in the city now, and it's a seriously underrated place. 2

Because there is nothing funnier than Buffalo natives seriously debating Anchor Bar versus Duff’s chicken wings, while simultaneously acting like culture snobs because their decayed, rust belt city has a refurbished building. And then failing to comprehend why a guy like Blake Bortles has more fun than Josh Allen. Do you think every rich young athlete is Buffalo is just stupid?

I seriously don't understand what you are trying to say. You are asserting that I'm saying things that I'm not actually saying, and you are positing that I think a certain way about culture that I don't actually think (i.e., you're making a straw-man argument). But keep it comin' with the barbs about chicken wing joints.
C.Biscuit97 Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) I loved growing up in Buffalo and had amazing experiences. Sorry some of you are losers and didn’t. Boring people get bored. I have great experiences everywhere I go. Obviously, Buffalo isn’t Miami or LA for a young athlete but there is plenty of fun things. And if a dude is all about clubbing, why would want him in the first place? Edited February 19, 2019 by C.Biscuit97 1

Corn shucking contests?

Jax has: better weather, golfing, hotter girls, beaches, better bar/club scene Buffalo has: Jim’s Steak Out, 800 Maple and the Philharmonic Boy, I wonder what the 25 year old millionaire would prefer. Jax has no Albright-Knox Art Museum, but I’m sure he’ll manage. We get it. You've recently been to Jax, and stayed at a swanky resort. You think that means it's a great place. I disagree with you. To each their own.

You have no clue what a football player physically and mentally endures through out a season and this off season he already spent time with people working on his game. IF your but hurt that he takes a day off or even a week off to enjoy life. If your comment was sarcasm then ya should of made it more clear in your post... Its clear to anyone with IQ over 70.. Anyway, nice piece. WAIT!? that didn’t come out right..
