GAME 6: BUFFALO @ MIAMI, OCTOBER 21, 1973
After starting the 1973 season slowly, the 4-1 Miami Dolphins built up some serious momentum by defeating New England (44-23), the New York Jets (31-3) and the Cleveland Browns (17-9). Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills also had gotten off to a hot start by defeating the Patriots, Jets, Eagles and Colts. A loss at San Diego was the only blemish on their 4-1 record. The Buffalo Bills, one of the eight charter members of the American Football League, won the AFL Championship in both 1964 and 1965. They were led by stars like QB Jack Kemp, Fullback Cookie Gilchrist and Linebacker Mike Stratton. That 1965 title, however, is the last championship won by any major league Buffalo-area sports team.
The long 100-game rivalry between Buffalo and Miami has had some interesting twists and turns (currently, Miami leads 57-42-1). The Dolphins played Buffalo twice during their inaugural season as an AFL expansion team. The Bills slaughtered Miami that first year by scores of 58-24 and 29-0. From 1967 through 1969 the two teams evenly split their six meetings.
Don Shula’s arrival in Miami in 1970 drastically changed the course of this increasingly intense rivalry. In 1970, Shula’s young Dolphins crushed O. J. Simpson and his Bills team by scores of 33-14 and 45-7. Beginning in 1971, Miami would win the next 18 games in this series! Buffalo would go “0 for the ’70’s” versus the Dolphins as Miami ran off 20 CONSECUTIVE WINS over the frustrated Buffalo Bills and their equally frustrated fans! This 20-game streak still stands as the longest of its kind in NFL history! And every Buffalo fan KNOWS IT!!
On Oct. 22, 1972, the Miami Dolphins narrowly defeated Buffalo 24-23 in a nail-biter in the Orange Bowl. A few weeks later, the Dolphins defeated the Bills 30-16 in Buffalo on their way to the NFL’s one and only Perfect Season!
This first 1973 meeting between these two teams took place in the historic Orange Bowl on a picture perfect 80 degree day. It was, unquestionably, THE game of the day in the National Football League.
All eyes were on the most publicized player in the NFL. By this time, Buffalo’s star running back, O. J. Simpson, had surpassed Joe Namath as the #1 star in the league. In Buffalo’s opening day win over New England, Simpson rushed for an all-time record 250 yards in one game! By the time Simpson rolled into the Orange Bowl he had already amassed 813 yards in just five games! Simpson would go on to rush for 2003 yards in 1973, breaking Jim Brown’s old NFL record. Although Simpson’s rushing records have since been broken, he remains the ONLY BACK IN NFL HISTORY to rush for over 2,000 yards in a 14-game regular season!
Miami’s defensive genius, coach Bill Arnsparger, believed the key to stopping Simpson was to “swarm him like a swarm of bees” so that he’d have no avenue of escape. It was the finest form of gang tackling.
Simpson’s offensive linemen, known collectively as “The Electric Company” because 
they turned on “The Juice,” believed they had the strength and power to clear the way for Simpson’s assault on the NFL record books. Linemen Reggie McKenzie, Mike Montler and Joe DeLamielleure believed they could control Miami’s defensive line and literally run the Dolphins right out of the Orange Bowl! My buddy of over 40 years, Pasquale Fragnito, told me “that will happen when hell freezes over!” How RIGHT he was!
Nearly 80,000 screaming Dolfans crammed the historic Orange Bowl to see a game that was hyped as if it was a Super Bowl!! Emotions ran high. Just before kickoff, the public address system played “the Miami Dolphins’ Fight Song.” The place went absolutely nuts!! Several banners hung from the upper deck. One of them featured a doll of Simpson hanging from a hangman’s noose! A fan behind me had one of those huge spongy hands with an extended MIDDLE finger saying “Buffalo is #1!!” An unusually large contingent of Miami’s finest was present to maintain some semblance of order.
The game, essentially, would be over at halftime! Starting from the Miami 25, Griese mixed passes to Jim Mandich and Paul Warfield with some tough running from Csonka and Morris. From the 2, Griese found an open Jim Mandich for an easy touchdown! The Orange Bowl erupted as the Dolphins took a 10-3 lead!
Defensive ends Bill Stanfill and Vern Den Herder continued to pursue Bills’ QB Joe Ferguson mercilessly. Two sacks killed Buffalo’s next drive. Griese maintained Miami’s momentum, driving his team 61 yards in seven plays down to the Buffalo 24. Again, the confused Bills’ defense paid too much attention to Warfield while Jim Mandich ran down the seam in the zone wide open! Griese’s perfect pass caught Mandich in stride for their second touchdown of the quarter! The Dolphins had scored on three consecutive possessions to take a 17-3 lead.
Yet, again, the Dolphin defense stopped Simpson and the Bills, producing a 3-and-out. Punter Spike Jones, a Georgia alum, kicked the ball away to a fellow Georgia alum, Miami’s Jake Scott. Scott took the ball at his own 45 and bolted all the way to the Bills’ 33 yard line! Mercury Morris scampered the final four yards of the drive and, unbelievably, Miami had a 24-3 lead as they trotted into the halftime locker room! “If this had been a fight, they would have stopped it,” said the voice of the Dolphins, Rick Weaver.
The teams returned for the second half to a crowd that was less noisy and far less 
boisterous. The Bills knew they absolutely had to get something going, and SOON! But it was the Miami Dolphins who scored first in the second half.
Early in the final quarter, a bruised and battered O. J. Simpson was helped to the Buffalo sidelines. He had gained only 55 yards. Cat calls, hoots and various insults were shouted his way by celebrating Dolphin fans! A meaningless 50 yard field goal by John Leypoldt made the final score 27-6, Miami. The predicted shoot-out had ended in a blow-out! The Miami Dolphins had taken complete control of the AFC East for the third consecutive season.
The statistics sheet told the story. Buffalo had only 8 first downs to Miami’s 18. The Bills rushed 32 times for ONLY 75 YARDS!! Miami rushed for almost 190 yards plus another 127 yards passing. The Bills completed only 6 of 18 passes for a paltry 60 yards. However, Miami sacked Buffalo’s two quarterbacks NINE TIMES FOR 59 YARDS IN LOSSES!! Thus, Buffalo had 1 net yard passing and 76 total yards offense FOR THE WHOLE GAME!!
In the post game locker room, both Vern Den Herder (5 sacks) and Bill Stanfill (3 sacks) had HUGE smiles on their faces. Defensive lineman Manny Fernandez said “Everything is fitting into place for us. I don’t see any reason for us to lose another game!”
The 1973 Miami Dolphins were now 5-1.

ICYMI: my 275-player watch list for the 2016 #NFLDraft is now up at @draftbreakdown: http://draftbreakdown.com/luke-easterlings-2016-nfl-draft-watch-list/ …
THANK YOU WYOMING!! – – And THANK YOU to all of you Dolfans who take the time to read this modest report concerning game #6 of “FOLLOWING PERFECTION!” –AN EXTRA tip of the hat is due to MISS GIGI, HERDFAN, and anyone else who helped with photos concerning this effort.
———————
MIAMI’s 20 game winning streak over Buffalo during the decade of the ’70’s almost defies belief. –And the fact that OJ Simpson was NEVER on a Bills’ team that defeated Miami – – EVER – – also defies belief. In 2003, Simpson ran over around and through some of the best defenses in the NFL on his way to destroying Jim Brown’s single season rushing record! – – Simpson was, by far, the #1 star in all of football. – – But Miami’s “No Name Defense” would have none of it!! The fact that Miami held Buffalo to 76 TOTAL YARDS OF OFFENSE IN THIS GAME says it all!! – – It is my firmly held belief that, for two seasons, the “No Name Defense” was the greatest defense in NFL history!!
——————-
HAVE A GREAT DAY, DOLFANS EVERYWHERE!!
I guess OJ Simpson thinks of this game as the most shameful moment in his life
….oh wait a sec, that might not be right
Good write up as usual OD. I knew the Dolphins would win this one…lol
Everytime I see Jack Kemp’s name I am reminded that he has had a strong post football political career. I think he was 2nd int he 1988 Republican primary to George Bush Sr.
Earl Morral also had a strong So Fla political career as I recall as well
I don’t think football players do that so much anymore,,,I can;t think of one recently that has been successful in politics
Also
Wasn’t Marty Shcottenheimer a LB on this Buffalo team?
No he was already out of the league.
1 yard passing and 76 total for the game. LOL
Now that’s dominance. Great stuff once again, OD.
I always wondered why those Dolphin defenses were called the ‘No Name Defense’. They had plenty of stars on it and as a kid I would see posters of Manny Fernandez, Nick Buoniconti, Jake Scott, Dick Anderson etc.
we still think of some of those guys as the greatest to ever play the position for the Dolphins
But I think it was just the mentality
the NFl was not in the spotlight is is now
and Defensive players were not stars
and they were a contrast to the 70s steelers who had players like Mean Joe Green making Coke commercials
I’m not sure why the Steelers defensive players were stars and Dolphins were not, albeit I think Green, Lambert and Hamm were better than anyone on the Dolphins
but still most of the guys you mentioned are borderline HOFers, they probably will never get into the HOF, but some of that is just that they are not well known names like the Steelers were
Those defense were amazing though
and maybe better than the Steel Curtain ever was
In 1976, the Steel Curtain allowed just 28 points in their last 9 games. That’s insane. LOL
Dolphins win! Yeah! Great job OD. And sorry for not being on yesterday but great job Manitoba.
It wasn’t that there were no-names on the D necessarily but it was a perception. Tom Landry is the one who coined the name saying in an interview something to the effect that Miami had a bunch of no names on their Defense and it stuck.
They were definitely a swarming defense.
Saw this today and couldn’t help but think of some of us on here though I was more connected to the early 90s .. LOL
http://www.openculture.com/2015/07/1980s-metalhead-kids-are-all-right.html
Do you mean they didn’t engage in sacrifices and turn the world into pure evil? LOL
Metal was and still is about energy and fun, not what a bunch of ignorant pinheads tried to make it out to be. Now there are extreme metal bands that fit the description of Satanists and evil but that wasn’t mainstream metal. But there is evil in all walks of life including religious types. 😉

Interesting comments from Jimmy in reference to his own experiences.
I’m pretty sure he’s talking about Dan Marino in some sense when talking about having to make moves that are unpopular.
He also admits that he had too much on his plate in Miami handling personnel and coaching duties.
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 9m9 minutes ago
Chiefs LB Justin Houston’s new 6-year, $101 million deal also is second richest deal in NFL history behind only Ndamukong Suh’s.
We are still #1!
There’s your new going rate for a premier edge rusher. Did he tie or break the season sack record with his 22 last year?
Von Miller is drooling right now.
We know these names, because its the all names defense now, especially to us as Dolphins fans. None of those guys were marquee names though until the first of their superbowl seasons, by time they got the name they were already recognized as a good unit.
That means we give up. LOL
Your daily dose of right winged propaganda.
We stand for embracing civil rights, and protecting minority classes. You might stand for nothing, or see protecting minority classes as being spineless, but I submit that’s antithetical to exactly what the constitution and declaration of independence says.
“After starting the 1973 season slowly, the 4-1 Miami Dolphins built up some serious momentum”……man OD can only imagine having a team where going 1-1 to start means slowly.
Awesome insight and feel for then as always.
It had already been reported Will Allen was in trouble, but it has gotten even worse.
—————————-
Former Miami Dolphins cornerback Will Allen committed 23 federal felonies and faces decades in prison, according to an indictment issued last week by the U.S. Attorney in Massachusetts.
Already facing federal civil charges, Allen, 36, was arrested last month on criminal charges of defrauding investors. The indictment seeks to ring up Allen on 12 counts of wire fraud, six counts of aggravated identity theft, one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and four counts of illegal monetary transactions.
If convicted, Allen faces up to 20 years on each charge of wire fraud and shorter sentences for the other felonies.
The FBI says most of the fraudulent proceeds went to Allen.
Really bad post career choices for a former 1st rd pick and a guy who got a 2nd contract in FA. Did he really need to go in this direction? SMH
One sign about what might have went wrong was in the article — part of the payment of one of the alleged fraud transactions went to a casino.
who was the 6th defendant that filed for bankruptcy and brought the whole ponzi scheme down?
What is Milton Berle’s undead wang?
i think it’s the parents because the charges against will allen mentioned bankruptcy filed Oct or Nov of 2014
http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/11/jack-johnson-blue-jackets-bankruptcy-parents
read the charges filed against him. 17 pgs but its very informative

She has a point.
https://celebrity.yahoo.com/news/sinead-o-connor-slams-rolling-stone-kim-kardashian-143519355.html?nf=1
She’s 100% on point.
I didn;t even know she was on the cover
what an embarasment
Maybe next she’ll get put in the Rock & Roll HOF. SMH
Stanger, gambling debts make sense. Another poor choice.
he had it coming
LMAO — the dude shooting the vid didn’t say watch out?
“How can a 22-year-old first-round draft pick afford a 51-carat platinum and diamond bracelet valued at $120,000, a 13-carat bracelet worth $11,000, a gold Rolex watch worth $9,000 and two diamond earrings worth $10,000? Not to mention a new Mercedes-Benz, the keys of which were also taken?”
——————-
That the New York Times on Will Allen getting robbed at gunpoint outside his apartment at 4:40 a.m. by masked men before he’d even signed his draft contract. Seems he was pushing the envelope from the start.
I don’t get paying that kind of money for jewelry. Even if I had the money I wouldn’t spend it on that kind of stuff.
I don’t even own a watch
not even a cheap one
I think some guys think it attracts women to them
it does…whores…
LOL @ Piggy
I’ve never been a watch wearer and I’ve never been into bling.
SMH @ Piggy…whores? That is demeanin. LOL
I happen to where a very understated, very expensive watch. Tag
I wear it more for business than to impress women (the future ex saved for over a year to buy it for me) but the business circles I run in it always seems to be a subject of conversation around the conference table.
The watches we are wearing not MY watch nessesserily.
I have me a pretty sweet Dolphins watch that the wife bought for me. Damn thing always stops working in December.
LOL
Sorry guys, I meant to add the link to the box scores for the game to the end of the article and I forgot when I got home yesterday. I just added it. This week has been a prime example of Murphy’s Law in action.
I didn’t notice until you Oinked about it
Rock
I generally like watches
I’m just not huge on jewlery
And what we are talking about is nowhere near what some athletes are doing which is just showy and intended to imply that they will make it rain…lol
lol @ Kong
HERDFAN: AGAIN, thanks for all your help, including the box scores. These numbers strongly suggest that the 1973 Dolphins had the best defense, statistically, in the Super Bowl era. Miami yielded only 150 points in the 14 game regular season (10.7 points per game). And that 14-game schedule included Dallas at Dallas, Pittsburgh in the Orange Bowl and Oakland at Oakland and San Francisco in the Orange Bowl. While some have challenged Miami’s schedule during the ’72 Perfect Season, NO ONE has challenged Miami’s out of division schedule in the 1973 season.
No problem…I’ve enjoyed reading your articles and now I’m enjoying looking at all the old pics out there in cyberspace and finding some to add to your vivid retelling of the games.
Well Done as usual OD… Love the way history comes alive..
Ken: Thanks for the belated kudos..
Now i gotta poop scoop, cut grass, trim the hedges before it rains and make supper..
Later..
One last note on this particular Bills # Dolphins game. Miami absolutely dominated this game despite the fact that the Dolphins had FIVE TURNOVERS IN THIS GAME!!!!! (Buffalo had only two). One of Miami’s giveaways occurred early in the first quarter. It set up Leypoldt’s 11-yard FG, which was Buffalo’s ONLY score until later in the 4th quarter. WHAT A DEFENSE!!
———–
Heading out to Baltimore VERY early tomorrow for another convention. Talk to you guys on Sunday.
Have fun OD!
Jahn I hope you know I’m just being an ASS!
But I will Talk to anyone one the “Minority Issue”
Just remember I work in the construction field that has ALL minorities giving me example every day of their real intentions!
Not the TV version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I’m not “right wing”
I’m shut the fuck up and leave me alone wing!
Oh and that wasn’t directed at you Jahn!
It was for all the politicians out there!
Maybe I should have said the ” Leave me the fuck alone I didn’t ask for your help wing”
Later Haters!
Wyo, I think some people just need a declaration of pure civil rights sometimes. Like Jahn and myself. Because I sometimes have my doubts too. Let the humor be known and don’t make it look like a mockery of a pretty cool agenda to liberate people. Other than that are we suppose to support some sort of Fascism as long as wink-wink and buddy-buddy is all cool? When does that nonsense end?
For the record, absolute dissension towards your world view is Fascism when you become defensive. What else could it be? LOL
UP AND AT ‘EM!! It’s 4:27 AM and I’m heading out the door to the airport!! —PIGGY, you said for me to “have fun” in Baltimore a few spaces up the page. ACTUALLY, I’m the President of F.U.N.!! – – I’ll explain when I get back.
———————-
NOW get your lazy asses out of bed and get to WORK!!
Tim
I wasn’t being defensive! I was drunk!!!!!!!!!
It did sound a little defensive this morning!
For whatever it’s worth I will always find humor in someone telling me what to do to defend someone else’s civil rights!
I love Irony 😉
It may be ironic but we all could do a better job being civil. 🙂
Morning everyone
Its almost Friday!
What’s so special about Friday?
Its is the day also known as PORK-FOREVER
Dez Bryant and Demaryius Thomas signed some big big contracts
WRs are getting expensive!!!
That’s why I love where we’re at at WR. I agree with you on the Samurai, you need to keep adding good talent at the position so you don’t have to rely on paying a WR that kind of money. There are plenty of good WRs if you target them.
Piggy, if we all porked forever not much else would get done but lots of people would be having fun. 🙂
a/k/a utopia
Sorry but I found this funny.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly 25m25 minutes ago
Fixing our health care system will spark America’s financial resurgence IMO. Those fighting against it should be viewed as communists.
Irony!
Why am I not surprised that Omar’s all-knowingness extends beyond his area of supposed expertise?
Guess he can’t tag on “You aren’t in the offices of the Senate Health Care Committee every day like I am” on to that.
he should stay out of politics
If he wants to share his opinion, he should create a different twitter account “thebraided coconut@thebraidedcoconut”…lol
but he should not do this stuff as Omar Kelly IMO
it would probably turn off some of his regular followers
its already takes a ton of effort to ignore politics on twitter – people can;t resist forcing it into every situation
I wonder what he means by “fixing healthcare”
its really an innocuous statement that should not offend anyone when you think about it
b/c he does not say how to fix healthcare
and everyone should want it to run right
we just all have different philosophies on how that is done
personally I think having a public option would be good
sure it would be a tax burden, but it would put more money in individuals pockets b/c they wouldn’t have to pay for it
and those kind of things would be beneficial financially IMO
but there is nothing currently in place for a public option
According to Evan Mathis: “Exactly what my options are aren’t as clear as they will be in a week or two. I haven’t missed anything.There’s no rush at all.”
Dude is playing it cool and at this point don’t blame him. He really has nothing to lose by waiting, least till camp starts…….and maybe not till after (a key injury could make his bank).
Yippee!!!!
Now the Pats will sign Mathis. LOL
I posted that tweet from Omar on healthcare because I have no idea what he meant by any of it? Financial resurgence? If you fight it you’re a communist? Does he even know what he’s talking about? LOL
I think he is just saying bombastic things to get a reaction at this point
we know he does it with sports
but I guess he is willing to do it about politics too like Anne Coulter or something
I am starting to think there should be some sort of breathalyzer attachment for this blog. A lot of drunk posting goes on.
You mean you have to be above a certain level to post?
I agree
drunk posts are the best!
LOL — would hate to see the day any of us have to blow in a tube in order to post……..that would be the end of the place. 🙂
What did you guys think of Caitlyn Jenner getting the courage award last night from ESPN?
Don’t really care but I do think the sensationalism is going to another level where every step she takes will be discussed. Kind of like Kim Kardashian being on the cover of RSM. When will it end?
I’m really annoyed by the Kardashian clan in general
and I’m skeptical about Jenner b/c of her affiliation with those attention whores who I think lack any substance
But I think its ESPN choice to go with Jenner if they want to and I guess I can try to look at Jenner without some of the disdain I have for the Kardashians….I actually tried and it does not work…lol
I have a bigger problem with some of the reactions than ESPN’s choice. I think people suggesting its a product of liberal media or whatever is idiot speak. Whether you accept people like Jenner or not is not a all a political issue, its a cultural issue. People who insist on inserting politics into everything usually lack political sophistication and are generally assholes. Part of my problem with contemporary politics is the inability of some people to understand the purpose of legislation and the distinction between the world around us and whether something is the topic of legislative debate or not. Some people just group whatever they don’t like into opposing political; points of views – and its really hurts serious political debate IMO.
ESPN has awards?!
I honestly think the ESPYS are a dumb concept to begin with
They kinda represent everything I hate about ESPN. I just want sports to be about the games and the winning and the losing if games not a bunch of other stuff
Yes they’re Chris Berman turds.
Hey all you rabid Dolphins Fans — just 2 weeks till TC and I can hardly wait.
Long time no see … I took some time off to celebrate my 38th wedding anniversary. What a great life it’s been!!!
I thank all of you who gave me ideas about what to do and see in Montreal. I did almost all of it, except the 24/7 strip clubs.
I did love the U2 concert. The music and singing were awesome, but the technology of the show was simply spectacular.
My wife thoroughly enjoyed the whole time we were there. We walked over 20 miles a day looking at old buildings and art galleries and drinking fine French wine.
The weather was cool and crisp and a perfectly refreshing break from 90 degrees and 90% humidity down here on the beach.
Go Dolphins !!
38 yrs? Congratulations!
That’s awesome Naples. 38-years is something in this day and age.
What did you like most in Montreal. Have thought about taking a get out of the hot Florida summer trip there some time. Was thinking of combining with Quebec City.
Congrats on 38 years of marriage. So how many rude French Canadians did you run into? LOL
congratulations on 38 years
WOW!
I can’t even make 38 weeks with a lady….lol
Piggy … A complete travesty. Passing over a young girl fighting cancer and a double amputee veteran to honor that walking freak show. Everything about Jenners fabulous metamorphosis has been planned and calculated to maximize publicity and attention. … Disgraceful, but I’d expect nothing less from ABC/ESPN.
Bat
Didnt those two other people get different awards?
Piggy, I agree with your 11:53 post. I recently joined Facebook to keep in touch with some old friends I recently re-connected with and it’s amazing how many people interject politics into every facet of life. It’s fucking annoying. Live your life and stop drawing lines in the sand. It’s pretty pathetic.
So if you support Caitlyn Jenner you vote Democratic and if you don’t you vote Republican? Can there be anything more retarded than that? LOL
People don;t really like to think things through anymore
BTW – I blame the two party system (even though its not a formal system)
Two parties set up to oppose one another on issues is an advesarial process which is bound to cause people to attack the other side, instead of encouraging vision and problem solving….but I am like a broken record on this anti two party system stuff
Totally agree. The blue and red stats were purposely created to do just that. We’re a fucking country, way to go in dividing us. Asinine!
Piggy ..Not sure ..Didn’t watch the whole crapfest ..My point is that those two were certainly more worthy of a “courage” award than a pathetic aging fop trying to capitalize on his deviations.
I saw a speech from Devon Still on behalf of his daughter and one from an army veteran who lost her arm in the “highlights”
I think ESPN gives out multiple “non-sports” awards, so I think other people received awarsds
I don;t have a problem with the underlying substance of what is going on with Caitlyn – but I do agree with you about that family. They calculate everything for attention an they have thrived finacially on it. I noticed a few people calling Jenner’s speech her first public appearance. Which is true but overlooks the fact that we are only talking about since June and that in the time that passed which is probably less than a month, a “private”interview was very publicly broadcast and she did a Vanity Fair cover. So Catilyn has definately not been hiding from the spotlight which is what first public appearance infers
I don’t think I’ve ever watched the ESPYS. Maybe saw clips of it, but I don’t think I ever sat down and said hey the ESPYS are on. Don’t care who wins what.
bat — think all you have to know about to figure out why they did is that if those more deserving of the award got it we wouldn’t be talking about it right now. I’m sure they got a ratings boost.
Tim … I don’t care about the idiotic Espys either. I just loathe the idea of honoring a sideshow attraction as “courageous” ..Couldn’t they find a fire eater, a lizard man or a three headed baby to give it to ? …
LMAO!!!!!
How about this guy? Now that’s courageous, he could cut himself. LOL
He sneezes to cut his steak
That is Courage!
The people in Montreal were 99% excellent. Very friendly, helpful, fun to talk to, and stylin all night long!! The only fat people we saw was this one grumpy couple from Mississippi in a bistro insulting the croissants and whining about not finding any fast food joints.
We did meet one 20-something female who was that I-am-young-and-you-are-not kind of snooty, but hey I AM old sooo … wtf can I say?
I had the last laugh on her though, since my wife was 100 times better looking when she was that age and is STILL better looking today than that chunky hipster poseur … to use the French spelling.
LOL
I might be taking a weekend trip to Montreal this summer
its really not a long drive from NYC
tons of sweet girls there for you young single guys
No just a little over 6 hours if you’re into that sort of thing. LOL
Naples — don’t think you have to check the passport to figure out what many good-looking girls in their early-to-mid twenties are like. And those are the ones who can’t deal with what comes down the road.
Piggy … I was thinking of Lauren Hill, not Devon Still.
Oh
I completely missed that
I would not have known the ESPYs were on unless I starting hearing about it on twitter
I don’t really liek any award shows
but the ESPYs has gotta to be the worst one
Piggy … I think the award including the word “courage” is what sticks in my craw. Nothing courageous about it. How has he been hurt or diminished by revealing his oddity? If anything it has been nothing but a boon to him. Had he done it while he was at the height of his popularity and competing regularly, that would have been courageous. This is just pathetic.
If he did it in the 70s
before he was part of than Kardashian clan,
and did not make sure the world new he was doing it over the last month
I think I would have so much more respect for him
I just don;t trust that family
maybe by courage they mean his nightly removal of duck tape from his tucked areas?
LMAO!!!! @ he sneezes to cut his steak
Tim
Right now I’m into driving wherever b/c I am loving my car
Naples
I’m single but not so young
Car or Jeep?
JEEP!
I heard French girls like to say oui a lot.
Oui Oui Cochon! Oui Oui!
Piggy, I get it. Take the top off and go for a nice summer drive. You should dress like this so nobody notices you. LOL
Is that a stick shift
Its probably hard to change gears in those shoes
https://www.yahoo.com/autos/new-york-dc-the-worst-u-s-cities-for-drivers-124240795167.html
It’s all about dense populations.
dense as in stupid
Try
I have no reason to question that Lubbock Texas is probably as easier drive than NYC…lol
But I drove to work (midtown NYC) from my apt (Upper East Side NYC) today and it wasn;t really a bad drive
I think NYC is a difficult drive when you are dealing with bridges and tunnels
A lot of people commute some pretty far distances too
It’s crowded most of the time, that’s the issue.
I basically only drive in Manhattan on Thursdays with the exception of looking for parking)
So I’m not an authority
There is usually traffic
but sometimes
the flow of some streets is not so bad
I’ve driven in the city when it’s not too bad. Some of the main highways in the other boros are worse than Manhattan.
yeah
The Grand Central and the LIE can be crazy when the other highways intersect with them
One of the worst drives can be to LaGuardia or JFK
The Cross Bronx Expressway is the worst road in the world. You’ll be driving and all of a sudden there’s in axle in your lane. All it takes is for one car to stall and the whole thing stops. It’s the road from hell. LOL
I never go on that one
Don’t, you’ll live longer. LOL

I had to come home to meet the air conditioning guy at my house so I’m sitting here watching reruns of hard knocks Miami and Les Brown’s girlfriend was smoking hot
She’s a model.
Im with Bat on this one too. Something someone does for themselves, to the sex they feel they identify with, to me is not courage. Courage, the kind that through competitive comparison should win an award should really have done something big and shown courage sacrificing for others.
Jenner didn’t change himself for the betterment of others, he changed himself for him. He wanted to look like the woman he felt like he was (though still keeping the sausage so he can still please women…wtf) and accomplished that. He never was going to feel the danger of OMG i might die for this decision, and even more so wasn’t risking death or suffering for others. He did it and knew he was going to be welcomed with open arms by a society that feels obligated and in some ways forced to do so. Hell he already had a fucking reality show lined up ensuring he would also be financially secure and prosperous in doing so. There was nothing to fear so there is no courage necessary to make that decision.
I really dont care, all awards shows like this are bullshit, they are political and the selections are made by pompous asshats who believe they know best for the public. Still i feel its a slap in the face to a bunch of other potential candidates who could easily been considered deserving for this award.
Awards shows are an ego fest and not important.

When i first read it i though you had said you drive into Manhattan on Thursdays with an erection…..
TBH, until i realized otherwise i was really anxious to see what the rest of the post said, now not so much….traffic is boring. Can you make up on the fly what you would have said if it had been erection…
His erection looks for the parking.
Hmm interesting, its like a telescope seeing over traffic. Be even cooler if his balls knocked together creating a sonar effect for better locating them.
When Piggy gets pulled over for indecent exposure he explains it’s simply his parking package.
What’s up FUers and F Bruce Jenner and his dumb award. And he is Bruce Jenner. That is who he is no matter what mutiliation he has done to his body. I don’t care if some one is gay or not but I still don’t get the transgender thing and I don’t get how what Jenner did was all that courageous. To me it seemed just like some spoiled, confused adult who had enough money to have a partial sex change operation.
Speaking of driving issues. The other day in West Haven Connecticut on I-95 which is the same road as the cross bronx that Tim described. This guy stops his car in the middle of the road and sits on the hood – Nude. Stopping traffic in both directions. Talk about a parking package.
LMAO!!!!!

That’s the perp. LOL. My wife’s family is all from West Haven so the first thing we did was to make sure my father in law didn’t lose his mind
LOL

Driving with erections is Tuesday not Thursday
I feel stupid having to point his out to you…
I thought everyone knew that

Naples — don’t think you have to check the passport to figure out what many good-looking girls in their early-to-mid twenties are like. And those are the ones who can’t deal with what comes down the road.
>>>>
Honestly Stanger I have read that four times and I still do not understand what you are telling me.
When in Montreal, I became aware of how chic everyone and everything is there. (Of course I am used to the Ultra Conservative and / or geriatric set here in Naples.) So I just thought I would pass along the tip to Piggy that there would be lots of potential action for him there. I have not been in the dating scene for ahem 39 years, so i don’t really know anything about it.
Congratulations on 38 years. I wouldn’t have thought you were 38 years old not to mentioned married for 38 years.
Naples, Ken always thought you were 12 based on your comments. LOL
Shush Tim, I don’t want him to know. LOL.
Naples — I just meant that most good looking girls that age are full of themselves cause guys of all ages (least the vultures) kiss their butts…….doesn’t matter where they are from.
Ken hint the Beatles wrote a song about me this year.
Tim F U bro
You know I’m joking right? Not sure if you are or not.
🙂
My uncle Paul who is the fourth smartest man in history, just sent me this:
The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
LOL
Is there a place you go to get ranked in smartness? 😉
well if you have to ask, then you must not be …. n/m
Well let’s just say I’m not anywhere near 4th. LOL
I don’t understand how wearing pants or not affects traffic
I know, right? I mean they said it was a guy not a girl, right?
So why would anybody even give it a second glance and
risk permanent trauma on top of the nausea?
The 3 guys ahead of my Uncle Paul are Sir Isaac Newton, Ralph W. Emerson, and Kate Upton’s photographer.

Oh.
Girls are mean. Everybody knows that. You just have to learn how to work with that. It’s like nurturing gators.
