Would the NFL Really Take the Bills Out of Buffalo?
‘As tantalizing as it might be to inject another market into the picture, or dangle the Bills to Toronto like the NFL did a few years ago during the sale process, it seems like the league should be protecting what they have there. Buffalo, like Green Bay in a way, is an organic patch of what the league used to be before the profit surge. While no area is completely untouched, outposts like Buffalo provide a glimpse of the old landscape, back when there was a modicum of regional pride and sense of community associated with these things. The more you pave down the green to stack the taller buildings, you realize what you missed in the first place. Here’s hoping it doesn’t go that far.’

Twitter is Rightfully Furious With Bills RB LeSean McCoy For Spoiling the Ending to Avengers
’11 years of Marvel movies have been interconnected through the Avengers franchise but the latest release–aptly named, Avengers: Endgame–marks the culmination of it all. As tends to happen when a series ends, some serious plot twists may or may not happen.
