We're Number One!!!

Well, Bills fans are Number 1!

A poll was out this past week saying that Bills fans are the Number 1 Drunkest Football Fans in the Country.

First off...

...how do they figure such a thing?

Was it the guy who fell from the third deck to the second sliding down the railing?

Was it the guy who squirts mustard and ketchup at people who want some for their hot dog?

(You have to see the YouTube of that fiasco).

Was it the guy who fell head-long into the RV as he tried to dance around?

Do they count the leftover cans in the lot?

Secondly...

...have you seen the team?

No playoffs for 15 years.

Why wouldn't people drink?

Plus it's usually pretty cold out there!

Now I can't say much because I was young once.

I drank plenty of expensive lousy draft beer at the stadium.

Despite the fact I live about a mile and a half away I have not attended a Bills game since 2003.

I've been two a grand total of two games in the last 20 years...

It's a young man's game.

Because of a few different things.

1). It's cold.

2). Getting in and out is a nightmare.

3). Fans are drunk and dumb.

4). I have pasta on at home and my doggies are here. And I can take a nap when they start losing.

My boys go now, of course, and I think about their safety when they head off in that direction.

They usually walk halfway and my beautiful wife brings them the rest of the way home.

They tell me about the fights.

The drunken people in the snow.

After the game there is a recap of the men and women who get arrested before, during or after the game.

Helluva' way to start the week.

But I do get it.

I don't begrudge anyone.

It was a blast!

And we're Number 1.

Enjoy it Buffalo!

Drunken bastards.

Suits

Like a lot of other people we got pulled into the series, ‘Suits’ on Netflix. I’ve never had much fun hanging around lawyers who have questioned me as a construction safety officer. I once testified in a case where the opposing lawyer started questioning me by going through my educational background. “So,” he said, racing to a crescendo, “You graduated from college with a degree in Communications-Journalism and suddenly, 30 years later, you’re a ‘safety expert.’” He actually made the quotation marks with his fingers. I just looked at him. “How does that happen?” He bellowed, sure that he was going to discredit me. “Well,” I said. “I knew I was overqualified to become a lawyer.” The courtroom erupted in laughter. Even the judge chuckled. The rest of his questions landed flat. So, I wasn’t all that keen on a show about lawyers, but ‘Suits’ is great. Meghan Markle became a princess because of the show, and she is very good in it (and a beautiful woman). Yet, there is so much more. The wri

My Buddy, Dave

-
Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I bet you tha

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C’mon, Oliver,”
