Weave

I have a thing for 1971. It would have to be one of these... Although this one would do nicely.....

Sitting on the porch this afternoon and my neighbor from across the street walks by with his wife. He's walking veerrryyy slowly and she is giving him encouragement. He looks pale, and he's hands on hips like he's exerting himself. They are about 50. They stop to chat. I'm on the porch, they stay on the sidewalk. He mentions that he got COVID 2 weeks ago. He said it turned into COVID pneumonia. I'm not sure if that is a thing or if he got a secondary infection that led to pneumonia. He said he was vaccinated in the first wave back in February. I'm guessing he has underlying conditions if he was vaccinated in February. His wife was also vacc'd but she got COVID when he did. She seemed to be doing OK, but he sure looks like it beat the hell put of him pretty good. I'm thinking that vaccine saved his life. He got it that bad with an immune system that was prepared for it. Woof.

I thought Pennsylvania claimed Chautauqua County decades ago.

WNY encompasses 7 counties. Only Erie is blue by as you state a 5% margin. The remaining 6 counties are overwhelmingly red. The divide is real and they are vocal about it out here.

Well, there is an angle I hadn't heard yet. It is creative, I suppose.

This afternoon I am officially a Father-In-Law to be. Knob Creek private selection single barrel 120 proof to celebrate. And it goes without saying, he's her problem now. 🤣

My much less flippant response, look at the county by county voting results for NY and you'll see the divide clearly. Erie, Monroe, Albany, and the counties that make up NYC all go blue and the rest of the state goes red. Add in some good old fashioned western NY inferiority complex and the divide between upstate and NYC is quite clear.

And never noticed the F#*% Cuomo bumper stickers and F#*% Biden flags? Are you in a liberal conclave in the Catskills?

It's fricking genius.

You must not spend much time outside of metropolitan areas.

I think the gnashing of teeth and rending of garments will be based 100% on the return we get and not whether or not he plays his home games in MSG. Except Wookie. His brain will break.

The past is sunk costs. We never should have been there, and we definitely should not lose any more American lives because we lost a bunch there foolishly before.

I really don't get these takes. NY isn't a division mate of ours. They aren't a rival of ours. They really are no different than Carolina or Columbus. Is it because of WNY's inferiority complex and political divide over NYC?

This exact thread already exists the the auto club, or car club, or whatever the name is.

I agree that Dahlin is the one player in the lineup that can run a PP. BUt he is going to be a distributor and the guys he will be distributing to do not have the possession ability that Jack especially had. I see a lot of frustrating zone clears in our future.

I think Sandy Hook has shown us that politics is more important than children anymore.

There will be alot of loss of possession with that lineup.

We are over 600,000 deaths into it and it’s still not enough.

I'm in the same boat. Waffled on Foo Fighters in Syracuse too and now those tickets are gone. Just when I thought I'd be seeing live shows again too....

This smells of truth-iness. We all hate when someone trashes our team. We all lean towards defense of what is ours. But Lehner's comments were likely heartfelt, and givien the exodus of players off this team that don't want to be here we probably shouldn't dismiss them. This team is a wreck.

But he was helping his dad dissect animals in some secretive lab that had no security on the weekends.

And the new additions plus development of the kids likely does not = Sam+20 games of 70% Jack. 32nd place roster.

Is that Thomas Vanek?

Could be is the correct language, but not likely. It is essentially the same pieces minus Jack and Sam and that group was a 31st place team last season.
