    This is a shocker. An arena telling a pro sports team, “No Thanks”.  I mean this has to be the end of them in Arizona. Les Nordiques?😁

    An article on Yahoo! Sports mentioned Hamilton, Ontario as a possible new home.

    You all know that we'll fight tooth and nail against that move!

    He bears an uncanny resemblance with ice road trucker Alex Debogorski.

    Hello NASCAR or EPL.

    They need to suppliment their revenue, so I get it.  

    How does it work?  Will each team get their own sponsor and charge whatever the  market will bear, or is there some kind of revenue sharing, or whatever?

    Have you seen the Liiga (Finland) jerseys? They have more patches on them than @inkmanprobably has tattoos.

    It's a rare indulgence for me. And never more than 10.

    Is it me, or do people's appetites and metabolism go down as they age?

    Wings at Wegmans can be had for $6 a dozen.  The pre cooked, meat section variety.  Don’t bother going to the food bar sections, it’s probably cost you $5 a wing. 

    You need that dirty, nasty, chicken blood filled oil to get you that perfect flavor. 

    🤢🤮

    With that, the USDA needs to lift the ban on haggis.

    Yikes.  I thought that was a picture of the underside of a rusted out car...

    If it makes you feel any better, I watched the Cowboys play at Jerryworld yesterday and that was a pretty sucky experience too.  First of all, this was us trying to find our seats:

    I didn't think we'd every find our seats- it took over an hour.  The concourse on the entry level just..... ends when it gets to the luxury boxes.  There's no signage to tell you how to get to sections on the other side.  After asking about a dozen ushers and employees (they said they only know "their part" of the stadium), we figured out that we needed to backtrack to the corner of the stadium go up to the 4th level concourse, walk to other side of the stadium, go down the stairway... oh wait, we went too far and ended up at the same end we started at....go back to the correct corner, go down from the 4th to the 2nd concourse level, then finally we found our section, but couldn't get across the concourse because of a pep squad (kind of like cheerleaders, but not The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders) and a drum line that was going by, but even as we were going in, the usher looked at our tickets and told us we'd be better off going to the other side of the section, but when we got down to our row, found that all the seats between the aisle and our seats were full but no one was sitting the other side of our seats (accessible from the side we originally tried to go down), so we had to walk past a half row of people before getting to our seats..........

    Once in our seats, the between-play "entertainment" consisted of blasting us with about 130 dB of sound through the sound system.  Couldn't even talk to the person next to me.

    The one consolation was that there was a free outdoor post-game concert by Los Lonely Boys, a band I quite like.

    "Jerryworld" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

    Hey: at least we're not Jerry's Kids.

  5. I'm starting to lose friends over this issue.

    One of them posted a shared meme on his FB page. It had a guy wearing an outdoor car seat belt, and that it was designed for people who wear masks in their cars when they're the sole occupants. I'd had enough, and I gave him my two cents since we'd already had this discussion before. For him to claim to be a Christian, I said that it was way over the top and certainly not a Christ-like example. People develop habits over time, and this made a mockery of them. I further said that I'm normally civil in my disagreements, but not this time. Then I closed by saying, "THIS IS BULLSH1T!!!"

    He promptly unfriendly me.

    Needless to say, his home state now has no ICU beds left.

    Ranger fans are the most delusional fanbase of all. They think a Buffalo podcast putting up a billboard means something. The comments are hilarious. 

     

    Cheap shot on their part.

    Then again, what goes around comes around. Bills fans did the same thing in the Boston area last year, albeit for different reasons.

    I don't really have a dream car.  To me a car is a tool and an expense.  I try to expend as little as possible for the utility I need.  Currently, this does the job just fine.

    I remember when they were in the American market over 40 years ago before they quit. FIAT used to stand for Fix It Again, Tony.

    I must drive an invisible car. I always have people just pulling right out in front of me as I’m driving down the road. It’s crazy. People just pull out into traffic without looking. 

    Welcome to my world.

  8. The wife and I took a day trip to Carlisle, PA to visit our favorite bookstore. Given that there were so many books and not enough money to buy what we wanted, we managed to buy a few.

    As I finish one, I decided to start with one of my new purchases. My Beloved Russia: A Story of God's Love for a Persecuted People by Dimitry Mustafin with Irene Howat.

    Actually they do influence the owners greatly. The Cowboys and Patriots are the biggest money makers in the league, so the other owners often follow their recommendations. They both have made no secret of their disappointment in Buffalo's situation. In fact it was reported that the Pegula's pretty much had to swear a new stadium would be addressed before they won approval as the new Bills owners.

    I don't doubt some sort of deal for a stadium will happen, though who knows how Governor Cuomo's peccadillos will hamper things. I assume the Lt. Gov Kathy Hochul shares the same desire to keep the Bills in WNY. All I'm saying is local fans can never take for granted our place at the big league table.  Buffalo really has no business in the NFL now. It's grandfathered from our days 70 years ago when this was considered a major American city.

    Ok, so I'm quoting this post again since there will be a change of occupants in the Governor's Mansion in Albany. Given that the new Guv is from Buffalo, how much do you guys think she'll do to help the Bills get a new and much better stadium?

  10. Amazing how much people complain about in-app purchases on games that mostly let you play for free. For instance, someone gripes about having to pay something like 4.99 for 2 spins in Coin Master, when other said that we could store up to 1200. Here was my snarky response:

    Whether Cuomo stays or goes is somewhat irrelevant to this situation. He knows that the Bills are the only true NYS franchise - not the two New Jersey teams that haven't ditched the New York tag, so it wouldn't surprise me if he fights to keep the team in town. Plus, we all know that Hochul WILL fight for the team, whether she stays in her current capacity or succeeds him in office.
