First I'll say it doesn't matter to me if the politics thread stays closed or is allowed to come back, but if it does come back the bolded will never happen. It will always be contentious, be it now, next month or a year from now. Like you stated upthread SDS's previous explanation is good enough for me. He regrets ever allowing it on the Bills board and now any political discourse over there is relegated to a dark corner sub forum where the same 10-15 actors go round and round every day, but by and large the discussion stays buried there. I had proposed doing the same thing here previously, but now I don't believe it would work. This community is much smaller and creating a sub forum for politics would almost certainly have acrimony spilling over into threads on the main board.

Of course this leaves out the obvious need for the Bills to win out. In the very unlikely event that all of that is needed in this graphic does indeed come to pass, is there any doubt that the Bills will then proceed to lose to the Jets?

So Rush released a 40th anniversary edition of 2112, and included in the package are covers by Dave Grohl (2112 overture), Alice In Chains (Tears) , Steven Wilson (Twilight Zone)...and this guy who I never heard of before Jacob Moon (Something For Nothing). Some googling revealed that he also did a cover of Subdivisions a few years back that went semi-viral. It's an interesting take...

One of my favorites. Cheers!

Bring back Kotalik.

I had a neighbor who was from Buffalo here in Raleigh and she would call the interstates "the 40" and "the 95".

Well I tried to ride my hot streak from non-fantasy gambling. I hit it really big once again on the Patriots on Sunday. I fuggin hate them, but man they have won me a lot of money over the past two seasons. Fantasy gambling bank at $2050.

Ugly

At 2850. 8 units on Buffalo

So if the Bills manage to hang on to their thread of hope through this weekend, would that make it the only season in the drought along with 2004 where they were still alive going into week 17? Progress? :P

Love your optimism young man!

No, just grab an Uber....oh wait. Yeah 716.

Two games left and 99% chance of not going to the playoffs again seems pretty far removed to me. Still they can deal a blow to the fish this week... so we've got that going for us which is nice. The Jets game will certainly be must not watch TV.

No. Samson will be instrumental to our second half push towards the playoffs.

DeLuca last active 11/7. Hoss last active 11/9.

Agreed. Heard the NHL network guys talking about how Ekblad has regressed this year so far. We must exercise patience.

I sensed a downturn in raping and pillaging. Winner, now at 2850.

2 units on the canes

First sabres game in Carolina that I'll be missing in quite some time. The canes have been playing well at home lately, and should have beat the Caps last night. Hoping the boys can grind one out.

Awesome. Enjoy, I never had a chance to catch the Headstones in their heyday.

Winner. At 2650.

C'mon boys show some sack..when were the Sabres last this big of a favorite? Time to turn this ship around. 4 units on Buffalo.

Never had the FB Scotch Ale?!! I had Tim H. brew early versions of that for some epic Harlem road parties circa the late 90s. Great stuff!

Sorry to hear about your injury. A few years back I broke my tibial plateau and still have five screws in my knee. If you end up needing hardware in the ankle be wary of the aftermath....by far the worst pain I have felt in my life was after waking up from that surgery with insufficient pain meds on board. Maybe mention something to the anesthesiologist before surgery. Oh and take that stool softener, those pain meds can really back you up.

This is my method to grilling wings, but I'm considering an experiment. Grill/smoke wings indirectly with cherry or apple wood for 20 minutes or so. Remove wings from grill and put cast iron dutch oven over direct heat with vegetable oil and heat oil to 350-375. Fry pre-smoked wings as normal until done, Toss in Franks based wing sauce A more traditional Buffalo wing with a hint of smoke perhaps? I might try this weekend.
