our internet and water were both turned off this morning because the companies were doing (separate) maintenance work
Me on phone with one of them: "What's the point of paying bills if you're just going to turn it off anyway?"
Wife: "I'm not sure that's the argument to be making"

I attended my last NFL game as a fan there and my first as a credentialed reporter. I found out about what became my first regular sports writing job at a diner in the parking lot before a preseason game. Got one of the baseball jobs I still have by networking in the press box
Farewell Highmark/Ralph Wilson/Rich Stadium. I was there for a total of 85 Buffalo Bills regular season games, one Metallica/Guns n Roses/Faith No More concert, countless press conferences and countless practices at the bubble next door. (I didn't count the preseason games). You will be missed

Form a Purge Committee of writers, players, executives, etc. Membership is kept secret. Their directive: Vote out 20% of current Hall members over the next five years (can be 4% a year or all at once)

Wegmans was born in Rochester. Danny still lives there
We were just at the Wegmans in Durham. They had Duke gear, UNC gear and a little NCCU gear. No N.C. State gear, no Carolina Panthers gear, but LOTS of Buffalo Bills gear (there’s more than is in this photo)? Maybe it’s because the corporate headquarters are in Rochester?
