Over the weekend, I was in Buffalo watching my Ravens get smashed by the Bills and during tailgate time there was a MAGAt contingent of fat white guys- Bruce Blakeman groupies- driving around in a big trailer with a giant sign of Hochul wearing a Halloween costume that said "DITCH THE WITCH".

Being Bills fans, they must've gotten too used to losing to realize they would be quickly whitewashing that trailer come morning.

Yeah my neighborhood was full of "Ditch the Witch" and Blakeman signs.

One lawn had twenty of them on it.

Yeah Bills fans are chock full of magats neanderthals for years.

Sorry about what happened to Lamar. His playing style seems to have broken him. Everytime I see Allen on a snowplow or scramble I tense up.

Did you get a chance to get some good wings and beef on weck?

Yep January 20th 2029 at 12:01 pm Orange Adolt needs to be arrested by New York State police for his 34 felony convictions.

Well, there's the surprise of the week. Nobody expected her to win.

Come on, is this even news?

"Sorry about what happened to Lamar."

Lamar is a loveable guy to root for. So many purple #8's being worn by kids in my neighborhood. Me? I still believe that the Ravens stand for DEFENSE so I still wear just the #20 and will always wear just the 20 for Mr. Ed Reed. He was briefly on the Bills as DB coach about ten years ago.

Our buddy has a place in North Buffalo near Colonial Circle and we walk over to LaNova pizzeria on that corner there. I didn't have much of an appetite Sunday evening for obvious reasons.
