1. Couldn't pick an undefeated team. That is jumping on a bandwagon.
2. Couldn't pick an expansion team. They seem made up.
3. Couldn't pick a team in Dallas's division. That would be a hostile home front.
4. Couldn't pick Buffalo. Because they are Buffalo.
5. Wanted to be in driving distance, in case I ever actually wanted to attend a game. (I won't).
6. Wanted to be able to afford a ticket once I didn't get there (Wife just paid $1k to see Dallas in Dallas lose to the Patriots).
But all that aside, my main reason was Ernie Davis.

But really, Buffalo is the choice. Sure they usually stink, but at least they're local.

Speaking of football, John Gruden SUCKS. Every year I pray he gets replaced, but somehow manages to keep that job. Worst game announcer/commentator ever.

Couldn't help myself and went to Velomine.com in Springfield, IL and picked up a Colnago CX bike.

So I rode my bike to work. You're all supposed to think that's fabulous. 
But really, we'll see if I can manage Wednesday and Friday as well. It's supposed to rain Thursday and I haven't sorted out my fenders, yet. Though I am thinking of 3D printing some custom brackets...

I checked the schedule in our area and I think we're done unless I drive 3-4 hours. Probably be a gravel bike until nex year.

Interesting DT shape from the bottle cage mounts to the BB cluster. Never seen 'em flat there.

Tree company s taking a tree down across the street. I wanted to go over and see if they needed an experienced saw man but my wife wouldn't let me.
