Top New York food critic Derek Ellis has suggested the Wegman's sub may have even surpassed the original DiBella's sub, though this claim was met with criticism from New York Times food critic Matthew Krush.[citation needed] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They simply appropriated it all....except the taste. I was there when they started selling their subs--actually were touting their "partnership" with Dibellas. Then they took all that signage away over time. Who is "Top New York food critic Derek Ellis"? He doesn't seem to exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Large sub 12.95, bill for me and my wife was over $30. BTW, back to the topic, I thought the John Brown snub was bad, but snubbing Jordan Phillips is just obscene. I can't wait for Horrible Harry to get back, then we can release the Phillips brothers on the AFC East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative motivation has never produced positive results. It produces spite and individuality. Let’s just win the Super Bowl. Well according to all the sports psychological "experts" i hear on TV, Brady has turned into the GOAT because he was snubbed in the draft and the Patriots thrive on the negativity of being hated. Always thought the Brady narrative was utterly asinine, if he really is still holding a grudge nearly 20 years later he needs help, badly. Maybe he should chill and go make out with his son again.

Buffalo Junction Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 2 hours ago, Bulldog said: One of the most admirable things about this team, especially compared to some off the "soft" teams we consistently fielded pre-McBeane, is that they come to the field prepared to give a great effort each week (perhaps the Eagles game being a outlier - but that happens somewhere in a season to all teams). I believe that the snubs may provide some additional motivation for some individual players - however, I suspect that it will have minimal impact on the game itself. This group takes the "next game", "one game at a time" message seriously. A little "us against the world" drama does not make much of a difference - this is a disciplined & motivated group, for the most part they behave like professionals. They will be ready to give a maximum effort on Saturday - no matter what anyone on the outside has to say, whether it be positive or negative. Im not sure it makes a difference in the daily preparation, but the continual reinforcement of the “Buffalo vs the world” theme doesn’t hurt. They certainly seem to keep track of the slights, and they’ve pointed them out on multiple occasions. I think the players have also figured out that these snubs, slights, and digs get the fan base riled up, and that’s contributing to a unique environment.... Only team in NY. 5 minutes ago, RoyBatty is alive said: Well according to all the sports psychological "experts" i hear on TV, Brady has turned into the GOAT because he was snubbed in the draft and the Patriots thrive on the negativity of being hated.

I’m not sure it’s the playing angry part that matters, so much as finding a reason to go run sprints at 6am on a 5 degree February day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the difference: you get a sub at Wegmans because you are shopping at wegmans (and they are fine). If there was a Subway at Wegmans, the same people would be picking up a sub at that wegmans. you get a DiBellas sub because you want a sub.

LOL there you go. Another satisfied customer. Ham and American with mayo? If you go on yelp, it seems one of the most common complaints shoppers have is about the sub shop. Seems they are specifically saying those particular jerkoffs can't slap the meat properly. Edited December 19, 2019 by Mr. WEO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
