"We've got a list, said Buffalo Bills general manager Doug Whaley, of six positions were going to pay. The positions: quarterback, left tackle, and a playmaker on offense; a cornerback, a pass rusher, and a playmaker on defense. There are 22 starters on a football field, and the Bills strategy calls for paying big money to six of them. The team has more than six significant veteran contracts on the books at the moment because it stockpiled assets while long avoiding paying a franchise quarterback, but When Tyrod [Taylors contract] hits, Whaley said, we wont be able to have extra guys. The rest is up for us to draft well to replenish the rest of the roster, or find free agents who are very, very cost effective. Because you just cant pay everyone."

We are getting off topic here. Back to stats please.

It doesn't work that way. All you know is that the score could have been 10-10 immediately after Dan making the kick. Everything else after that changes.

Preferably Bills related, but if something else from another team was amazing - you can list that too... What was your interesting stat?

They posted a whole bunch of stats on the scoreboard during the game about the ravens incredible home record since 2008? and a variety of other stats at home.

It doesn't work that way.

I was sitting next to a guy that looked like Sammy Watkins. All game he would just point and say "there" at an open Bills receiver. We were in the end zone where the Ravens scored their first TD.

I was. Opening drive - Robert Woods running alone on a post with no one around him for 15 yards. TT never looked at him. Happened multiple times. He was turrible.

So awful to watch. Afraid to throw anything. Probably because he sails them everywhere.

??? So, since he hung up on a caller on Tuesday, that anecdotally proves what? I listen to about 90 min every day on my way home. It happens maybe once a month, possibly even less. Dickerson berated 2-3 callers per hour, every hour of every day. Callers do not have a God given right to ruin another person's radio show. Posters get booted from here when their participation ruins the conversation for other people. I would expect the same to occur on any other platform or medium.

He rarely hangs up on anyone. Hasn't in at least a year.

The logical fallacy is that people who watch a sporting event want to listen and/or talk about it the next morning.

I have been listening in my commute home for several years. Have never heard Mike talk tennis. So, that complaint seems reasonable. They also do maybe 2 of those fun drafts per year during dead periods. So, you doubled down with that one.

There's lots of people in China too... Perhaps WGR should base their programming around them? You know... Lots of people and all that.

Put it this way - if there is any significant discussion tomorrow morning on tonight's NFL game - I'll put something else on. Could not care less what Buffalo radio has to say about a random out of market game.

So, you think the local market is more interested in Panthers/Broncos than Jack Eichel? Not so sure about that.

We request it every year. I'm pretty sure I asked hammer to set it up again. I'll grab charcoal if hammer doesn't have a stack of deserted bags in the shed.

So you are saying I didn't just stare at my phone, not smiling, not laughing and not wanting the skit to be over because of its general awfulness? If you say so... Kimmel's bits are infinitely better due to reasons I already stated. I watched 45 minutes of them straight tonight. Most of them were good, but the really funny ones were delivered by actors and comedians. The ones delivered by nba players were, in general, as awful as the Bills skit.

See, this is the type of absurdity that could have turned that turd into gold!

It works on Kimmel because they choose extreme, creative tweets but they are also read by actors. Many of them comedians themselves. So, they know how to deliver a line. When you get normal people to read mean tweets, it has the opposite effect. It is normally used to highlight what a bully and an ahole the tweeter is and to get us to look at ourselves as a society. Instead of laughing with the reader, we feel sympathy. So, tweets that aren't funny mixed with regular readers made an awful bit. Should have never left the video production room.

That was terrible. Truly terrible. Awkward at best, but not even remotely funny.

Welcome back... Hope all is well.

I'm restoring this so that the conversation can continue. All I ask is that you move past the circumstances regarding the thread locking and deletion. Thanks.
