  1. I told a guy at work about it and the conversation followed like so:

    Him: imagine if you'd had a gun!

    Me: ummm

    Him: well, if you'd caught him breaking into your car you could've shot him.

    Me: yeah, a $5 tire pressure gauge is definitely worth someone's life. That's totally reasonable.

     

    These are the people we deem fit for concealed carry permit. Freaking idiots! They could have stolen every single thing inside the car and I'd have been out $150 bucks and about an hour of my time. Now, I know I think pretty highly of myself, but I'm not sure I think that highly that I can kill a guy for a minor inconvenience.

     

    Indeed that seems a bit extreme! I think my wife and dog would have to be in the car for me to adopt his mindset. Fortunately, I let them sleep inside :P

     

    My buddy had his car broken into recently. He did have a gun, but it was in the car and it was taken along with his laptop and some work books. PD obviously took that break-in a little more seriously than your average. They caught the guy and my buddy got all his stuff back. 

  2. My car got broken into last night. That was nice to wake up to. Glove box and console were rifled through. They left my baseball cleats, ski helmet, and sunglasses, and CDs. They took.......my fcucking digital tire pressure gauge! What the ######!?!? Fcuking crack heads.

    Proper tire inflation is key to a successful getaway??

  3. This is my fault, guys. I had a pre-draft itch and had to get a football from my trunk to play with in the office. I brought in a JP Losman autographed ball.

     

    I’ll just squint as I watch highlights and pretend I’m seeing Matthew Stafford.

  4. I might just settle in to watch 30 minutes of this ###### show. So what channel do I need to go and find if I want to see this?

     

     

    Tune in to Fox, ESPN, or NFL network. I think all are showing it. Or just log onto twitter and follow the #hottakes

  5. I'd be thrilled to build a defensive line with Calvert, maybe Letestu, guys like that.

     

    I essentially sat with Matt Calvert during a playoff game last year :P It was the game he was suspended for crosschecking Kuhnhackl in the head. I sat in the back row of the 300s, and he sat in the first row of the press box behind me. We could have highfived if only he extended his arm!

     

    Anyway, I'd certainly welcome Calvert to Buffalo. But I wouldn't give him anything more than the contract he's coming off of. 

  6. My bonsai tree died. I think I overwatered it and rotted the roots. I should have replanted it in better soil before it was too late. The soil it was in was cheap and always seemed too dry. Which is what lead me to overwater it.

  7. I gotta hand it to the TSW, they have some pretty funny threads about draft day feelings. Think I might steal some of them and use them for the lottery Saturday 

     

    Just hopped over for some light reading. There is a "Pegula jet tracker" thread. I was not disappointed. 

  8. He chose 4/25 some months after we'd been together and we had figured out that this was actually going to be a lasting thing. Doesn't really matter, honestly!  

     

     

    I like the choice... Some would even say that 4/25 is the perfect date ;)

     

  9. Something that bugs me in baseball: when fans boo the first pickoff attempt. Don’t boo the first throw over. Don’t boo the second for that matter. Boo your little heart out for the 5th or 6th pickoff throw of the at bat. But a pickoff is a legitimate baseball play!!

  10. Swept up in the Guentzel outburst and the criminally disrespectful Philly fans was an incredible performance by Couturier.

     

    You’ll recall that Gudas tore Couturier’s MCL in that practice collision. Sean played through it to score a hat trick and 2 helpers today. Played into all 5 Philly goals. Pretty gritty stuff.

  11. MMQB’s latest mock has Rosen falling to 9, with the Bills trading up to scoop him.

     

    Allen to the Browns at 1

    Darnold to the Jets at 3

    Mayfield to the Broncos at 5

    Jackson to the Ravens at 16

     

    If the Browns go full-Browns and take the project at 1 (which we enabled them to do hehehe), it might start a domino where one of the other falls deeper than anyone expects. Like to 9 or 10. Bills might have to jump Miami to be sure.

  12. Somewhat related, so I’ll share. If you want NHL.tv, NFL Sunday Ticket, MLB.tv etc, use a .edu email address to sign up. You don’t have to pay with a credit card in the same name. It just has to be an active college student to verify the email (and they do that real-time, not by sending an email for verification). Nothing required of your kind lender of email address. Just a bunch of savings for you.

     

    I save a TON of money by using my wife’s credentials. She’s a forever-student in a PhD program haha. Since I’m out of town, I get all my local sports this way and don’t have to pay for a cable package. I know this isn’t possible for a lot of you locals. But for transplants or WNYers that want all the league, give that a shot.

  13. I haven't been posting much in a while. Off season is much more interesting this year Sabres wise for me.

     

    Live on the exact opposite side of Columbus from you.

    Well here’s to hoping we both have lots to post about this offseason!

     

    And hmmm, exact opposite? Canal area? Cool to have a Columbus buddy.
