  1. You're not. It's not like one becomes the director of a bank at 23 based on merit. Even back then.
  2. You've got an old edition of the textbook. Time to update.
  3. Sorry--misunderstood you!
  4. Yes, but your post referred to "Seymour the 4th," which is not "our Seymour." Also, "farmer" doesn't necessarily mean he was hoeing a plot of dirt (although it could).
  5. No, his great-grandfather was a schoolteacher and entrepreneur. Yes, he did. Nichols, in fact. Then Yale. He was a director of Marine Midland at the age of 23. The sort of position that only wealth gets you at that age. The Knoxes were not poor, and Seymour III was no self-starter (nor was II). IV is a bit of an enigma; the family fortune has been protected from his hands.
  6. This program exists, but it's $20 and the tickets do not have to be "unsold" as of any point in time.
  7. He has the worst hair of any hockey player I ever have seen. @inkman has better hair.
  8. He said that I probably wouldn't remember him. He thought I was too young. I must have been wearing a hat, because although I still have a baby face, the grey hair on the sides is a dead giveaway now.
  9. Coincidentally, my dad's late best friend owned that joint back in the day.
  10. I remember when he was suddenly my Uber driver one day. That was kind of cool. He signed an autograph for my dad.
  11. This is so amazing. The confidence that is going to come out of this game will feed this team for a month!
  12. All right boys, I'm trying to get some freaking work done here. Stop making me look up! (This is awesome...)
  13. There's a nice start. Stay on them.
  14. This is a fair observation and I will reconsider my position that it's "just gossip" at this point. Players probably feel very pressured not to speak out until it's too late and they're retired. We've seen other crises with similar foundations in gymnastics, scouting, religion, whatever.
  15. Nah it's just gossip at this point. I'm ignoring it.
  16. Julio Jones did me the same favor--Atlanta didn't disclose that he was out until about 8pm--so now I'm locked in a tight battle with @pi2000.
  17. Let's see the Sabs keep the point streak going! 2 tonight!
  18. A few friends and I were considering StubHub if the Steelers had lost today, figuring that seats would be super cheap had that happened. It didn't, and now a prime time game is going to drive up costs of both seats and travel (since there's no way anyone is driving back after a night game, necessitating a hotel). Oh well. At least I'll have a productive Sunday.
  19. I'm not sure whether that's the most Brooklyn thing ever, the most Long Island thing ever, or both (since Brooklyn is part of LI but no one there seems to want to acknowledge that basic fact).
  20. We so badly need this timeline.
  21. Ok. Premature Celebration, number Eleven, offense. 5 yard penalty, still 9th down. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/08/29/too-crowded/
  22. Would a Bills win over Baltimore not take care of this? EDIT: No, wait, it wouldn't. Oops.
  23. The Bills now control their own destiny for the division and the conference. How long has it been since we could say that?
