*knock knock*

"Congratulations sir! Your city has been chosen as grand prize winner of a genuine National Football League team!"

"Huh, I didn't enter any contest. Why?"

"Because Buffalo won't build me a free stadium."

*SLAM*

I am proud that Austin is the largest city in the USA without an NFL, MLB, NBA, or NHL franchise, and I aim to keep it that way
if the price tag is another f'ing stadium, there is no way Austin will allow the Bills to come to Austin
If the Bills' owner wants to threaten moving, might I suggest it'd be more credible to hint at some backwater full of dimwitted boosterist boobs who think an NFL team is Shelbyville's ticket to the Big Time, by golly!
But if Elon Musk want to buy the Bills, rename them the Austin X Æ A-12s, and build his own Tesla Stadium at Joe Rogan Field Brought To You By DogeCoin, I guess that's his business
Gotta say threatening to move the Bills to Austin is like a fat lazy unemployed bum telling his long suffering faithful wife that he's gonna move to Hollywood and shack up with Scarlett Johansson unless she works another shift at Walmart to pay for his man cave
Trust me, I've tried this several times and it never works

I'm no marketing expert, but I think they should have tested the "America is back" campaign with some Vietnamese focus groups first

Welcome to the dog days of August from #DavesCarIDService Image
*The running board kennel on the 1926-27 Ford Model T roadster pickup was called the "Bird Dog Palace." Made in Golden City MO, this $17.50 accessory was a handy item to keep Fido cool and entertained on the way to the duck blind. Alas, it went out with running boards. ImageImage
Before commencing today's car ID thread, another gentle reminder of our guidelines for anyone who'd like me to solve an old car mystery: Image

I can't believe these whiney wuss quitters at the Olympics. Why, back when I was nearly co-captain of the JV bowling team in '83, we wouldn't DREAM of asking Coach Kramergesic to take a breather just because of a severed spinal cord or beheading
BREAKING: Uncle Rico drives van to Simone Biles's house, demands refund, launches into tale of how he toughed it out in the '82 Class 2-B state quarterfinals
Just to be clear I wish Simone Biles well, and to let her know that according to my latest financial records she owes me nothing

I vehemently dispute Welch's "good person" slander

I'm actually a nasty old antisocial hermit IRL, but IDing old cars helps me control the symptoms. There are surprising therapeutic benefits to tweeting about stuff that brings you joy rather than stuff that brings you anger. Some of you should try it sometime
I don't know if IDing some rando's grandpa's 1946 Hudson counts as "making the world a better place," but it makes me feel like Albert Schweitzer compared to the average account on this godforsaken garbage site

Hear me out on this: the Big TwENty
I think Texas is still a much better fit for the B1G culturally / academically than the SEC. Apparently UT and OU approached B1G at same time as SEC, but OU's lack of membership in AAU nixed a twofer offer.
AAU membership is a baseline for B1G membership, which narrows down to these possible expansion candidates:

P12: USC UCLA Stanford Cal UA UW UO UU CU
B12: KU, ISU
ACC: Pitt UVa UNC Duke GT

Not sure non-Confederacy states are a good brand fit for the SEC

First African-American football player at Alabama: 1971

First African-American football player at Michigan: 1890

In a shock to absolutely no one, this whole thing is being brokered by ESPN
