    Al was pretty weak in the Jax/Chargers game. He's definitely lost his fastball.
    And pairing him with Tony Dungy for that game was a poor decision.
    Oh that's right they did pair them up and I caught that.  I usually Like Dungy as an analyst not a commentator.

    Dungy isn't great in the booth.  I wish Gruden was still around.  

    I think Daryl Johnston does a good job.

    I don't know why some network doesn't make Gus Johnson their #1 play-by-play guy. He's better than all of 'em.

    I think it would be difficult to do the Fox sat #1 game and then be ready for Sunday.  

    Gus is a crazy person.

    Gus Johnson and Kevin Harlan.
    Had Harlan on radio Sunday when I was in the car doing the Vikings/Giants game. He's good.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Then maybe take him off the college gig. To me, Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen just don't have that "big game" feel to them that you want from your number 1 announcing team.

    Yeah Harlan is great. I don't understand why he's not doing football on tv.

    That's right, he's the college guy now. What does he do - those 62-28 Big 12 games? Such a waste.

    I like those two actually.  Olson has a punchable face but I like his commentating.

    yeah when I was in Cleveland, and the franchise moved in, that's how it was.  Now the chain absolutely sucks.  The service and everything is just bad.

    yeah we used to go quite a bit and then it just went to shit....they expanded too fast I think

    We stopped by a few years ago to grab a beer and something to eat to see if it was any better. Beer was nice and cold but the wings just weren't that great. Around here any place that has wings in it's name really doesn't have very good wings.

    That's a funny rule, but certainly directionally correct.  Surprisingly, Outback has really good wings.

    Its a great place/experience to see a game.  The closest the NFL has to a college atmosphere.

    My first experience w a BW3 was in Morgantown, WV circa 2001.  When I went to a Buffalo Wild Wings a few years later I recognized the symbol.

    Their regular buffalo sauce and sauces have become uneatable for me.  We had one open in my hometown and it lasted a year.  Locals hated it.

    For sure.  I've been to around 15 different stadiums for Bears road games and Buffalo was definitely one of my favorite trips.  Great time all around.

    That’s what I hear…. Been to GB twice, did the opening game vs Saints around PJ20… that was awesome too

    Great people
