Spuzzum has always been a favourite.

Black Tickle is fun, I found it scrolling around for a bit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Tickle Fun fact: at one point, I was strongly considering going on a group motorcycle ride from Philly to Goose Bay, Labrador, along the Labrador Highway (the last 1000 miles of it was dirt at the time). From there, it was a ferry ride for the return trip, and the ferry also stops in Black Tickle. Since then (10-15 years ago), some new roads have been built and I believe the Labrador Highway is paved. I didn't go because I didn't think my street bike was up to it. 🙂 1

Either MJ or Medicine Hat was my first Sabrespace home. Then came Bobcaygeon - around when Gord got sick. Then this current one. Gotta be Chilliwack next. 1
Night Train Posted August 2, 2023 Report Posted August 2, 2023 Is Chilliwack a new CB for the Bills ? I might as well post weather reports here, since staying on topic is a pipe dream... It's sunny and cool , north of Buffalo this morning..

That Aud Smell Posted August 8, 2023 Report Posted August 8, 2023 Ryan O’Halloran of TBN reports that Allen briefly left practice because of an apparent right elbow issue … but there’s no other information available. 😣
That Aud Smell Posted August 10, 2023 Report Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) A $300M overrun in early days - and PSE being on the hook for it - would probably help explain why the Bills’ lead negotiator on that deal is no longer with the team. Edited August 10, 2023 by That Aud Smell 1
That Aud Smell Posted August 10, 2023 Report Posted August 10, 2023 There are surely more overruns to come. And there’s a limit to how much the Pegulas can leverage the PSL’s to recoup their piece of stadium costs. They might need to sell that mega yacht of theirs.

The only ones on the hook for paying the bill are the people who want to go to the game. I know it's not easy but frankly if you provide me a quote to build something for X cost an then you tell me you'll need Y more.. I'd tell you to stuff it. Take a hit on your margin and get better at your job. An extra $300M.. that's just laughable. I guess someone forgot that the cost of condos in Miami have gone up so the vacations for those who agreed to this deal went up in cost. (ooooh yeah, I'm snarky on that)

I wouldn't be surprised if the overruns did indeed to RR getting canned. 20% overruns, and the project has barely gotten started. Does anyone think this will ultimately come in at less than $2.5B? I'll also predict that the state or city ends up eating a good chunk of the overage, regardless of the current agreement on this. I'd call it a freaking joke if weren't so GD unfunny and so business-as-usual for big NYS projects. It'll never happen, but I would love TP to just cancel the whole thing, put up some more support columns in the Ralph and keep the team there. 1

There’s a limit to how much PSE can expect to recoup from STHs’ PSL’s. That’s where the offset money will come from for the owners. And I think they’re already at a budgetary point where they’re digging into the Pegula yacht budget. 1 hour ago, nfreeman said: Does anyone think this will ultimately come in at less than $2.5B? Is that exclusive or inclusive of the lawsuits for violations of the community benefit covenants and MWBE requirements?

Wow! That's a big increase. I think Terry, the county and Albany feel like I do when I go to buy a can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle now. So you brought 3 dollars, you better get out that other 2 bucks or...."No Soup for You"!!!! Edited August 10, 2023 by Scottysabres
Night Train Posted August 12, 2023 Report Posted August 12, 2023 Opening pre-season game today. Raining outside. I'll record it and watch something else. I never learn much from these games. Very vanilla.

I never learn much from these games. Very vanilla. No Allen, no Diggs. Which is good. As best I can tell, the only meaningful things that can happen in preseason games are (1) injuries and (2) fringe players earning a spot on the roster or practice squad. That’s it. IIRC, Nathan Peterman lit sh1t up in preseason during Allen’s rookie year. And AJ McCarron had himself a day against Carolina as well in the home preseason game. Both performances predicted nothing about each player’s future success.
