It's so true. I'm from a rust belt city myself but I've never seen a mentality concerning alcohol like Buffalo. It truly is an alcohol town with a sports problem. I don't know of other cities with bars open as late.I've never met so many people who consider what I call binge drinking to be completely normal. I got made fun of a lot of being the DD in college. "you don't know how to have fun".
Of all the people that I've met from all over, the ones most down to earth have been from WNY. I wonder if the two are connected.

Well, I'm not sure where that bit of free association came from.
The point is that if you have a position reasonably well addressed with good players, it is a waste of valuable resources (ie #1 picks) to draft at that position and then fire-sale your incumbent.
Not sure why that is a controversial position.
Boy, is that all we're shooting for now? That's depressing.

His name is F#####' Cyrus. Bills made a great pick.

OMG Fishing in Alaska is on my bucket list.
BTW, this is a distant relative of mine. http://www.uticaod.c...ves-bear-attack
You gotta go. I've been four times now, two to play hockey, two to fish.
Oh, and I have serious bearanoia. There ain't no fear like the fear of gettin' et'.

Caribou (a/k/a reindeer, but they don't call it that on menus). Even better.
I have not had bear, possum, antelope or woodchuck, but I've had just about everything else mentioned in the recent posts. I'd say my favorite game is the rabbit ragu at Lombardo (Hertel), but that's only because of the preparation. The caribou is next, ad probably ostrich after that.
The first time I had moose was after an outdoor shinny game in Atlin, BC in January. The whole town showed up to watch and after, we all went to a party at some guy's house deep in the woods,… awesome.
The next time, while returning our boat after three days of catching rainbows on the Russian river in AK, in the parking lot (the place rented boats and processed game. I love AK) we bought about ten pounds from a guy who had shot it a few days earlier. We cooked it up outside on a fire pit at a state park on the way back to Anchorage,… even better.
I wonder if it would have tasted as good at a fancy restaurant on the Upper East Side. Doubt it.
I've never had caribou but could see it being really good.

Good now we don't have to worry about Stevie dropping the ball when it matters.
...and blaming it on a bad pass.
That's when he lost me. Buh by.

I kind like this trade and pick. It seems very un-Billsy.

It seems like every adult function I'm involved in revolves around booze. I'm sure that has something to do with the company I keep but it's gotten to the point where I have to stop attending normal people activities because everyone is boozing up and I just don't want it. Golf, weddings, kids bday parties, family events, any sporting event, fantasy football drafts and those are just when I leave the house.
Don'y forget that unlike us professionals, some people only drink at these events

If this is the thread to open up about alcohol abuse, I guess I'll have to put my two cents in. Anytime I have more than a couple of drinks, I black out. No brown out, no partial memories, nothing. Four, five, six hours...the whole night gone. I'm sure this has a lot to do with me hitting it pretty hard in the 90's. What started as left over partying in college, turned into a decade long drunk ass fiasco. Every night, no matter what, I was drunk. Not 4-5 beers drunk. Falling off the barstool, doing and saying the most reprehensible things, making a complete ass of myself. That was inky in the 90's. pretty much a terrible self serving ahole. I hated what I had become but I couldn't stop it. I finally moved on from that life after I met my ex but that doesn't mean the ugliness doesn't rear it's head.
Almost unilaterally, when I start drinking, I don't stop until I fall asleep, pass out or run out of booze. When I'm stuck in that moment I don't want to stop. I know it's going to ###### up my next day but I always tell myself I'll push through it and man up. I don't drink like I used to but once or twice a week I'll convince myself it's what I want to do. I don't get to the 15-20 drink stage like I did but 8-10 for sure. I think I'm ready to call it quits. It's not really fun at this point.
This sounds similar to when I had to quit smoking pot. When it got to the point where I had to choose every night: smoke and be miserable or not smoke and enjoy myself, it became a very easy decision to make.
If I had your relationship with alcohol, I would quit and not look back.
Good luck.

Moose. There is no equal.

The cat is mad about it.
And no one at work recognizes me.
Jo, are you going to let him talk about you like that?!

Mel Torme.

Lindholm for the Ducks looks like Jon Heder.

This game is awful. Good lord, three minutes left in the 3rd and they're telling stories in the booth. They don't even care about this game.

Let's go Rangers!
*can't believe I just wrote that!
They just may be the most boring team in the NHL.
And their fans the whiniest.

People who, in the 21st century, think gambling addiction and alcoholism are lifestyle choices, and that those "choices" are making people have fat, happy lives.
Also, vaping hipsters.
Why is it that if you make a couple of mistakes, it's just "I made a few bad choices in my life", but if you make hundreds of mistakes over and over, they're somehow not your own choices and it's somehow not your fault?
… and vaping hipsters.

“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As longs as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.” —Anne Frank
I just got back from an hour long walk on my break because of this. I agree.

I guess I'm lucky. I hate everyone.

I wish a Vegas book had props on over/under what pick a guy will go.....I am still convinced that no matter how many times people talk about Shazier going 18 or worse....someone is going to make him a top 12 pick. With all the talk of Lewan being gone by #9, I don't mind if it is the Bills. After looking into some of these guys a little more, Shazier is a good soldier.
This Ebron talk needs to stop. He is the best looking prospect at the position by far, but that is like saying that he is the best looking girl at a bar in Buffalo at closing time.....
So you're saying that if we pick Ebron, we're going to get screwed.

You three work on the venture capital for that, and let me know how it goes.
The only way it happens is if T-Peg throws in on a money-loser.
My first call is to Labatt. I know I'm the reason they have such a heavy presence in north Jersey.

Take a deep breath, Bruce. We don't like you when you're angry. Wait, what am I saying?
Eleven Smash!!!!

Malkin is just too good to be as big of a dud as he is. He needs a sidekick to make him more exciting.

Come on. There was no content. People don't tune in to watch AAA ballgames or indoor lacrosse, or (then) indoor soccer. Our minor league college teams don't carry it, either.
I think it could work. Nobody is buying an island or retiring on the profits, but I think you could at least break even. Between Sabres, Amerks, Bandits, hockey talk, Bills talk, hunting, fishing and boating shows, add in a Weave's Outdoor Meat and Spirits show and I think you'd have somethin'. I know I'd watch.
