This thread sounded intriguing. So I went to the site. It's an article written by some guy who looks like he's 15 years old on a country music radio station web site. This child riffs on some speculation he found in a Peter King column and makes it the main point. Not what I call reliable. Here is the quote that makes up the centerpiece of the little boy's column. Notice there is NO ATTRIBUTION. It's pure speculation. And the original quote is buried deep in Peter King's column ... but then maybe this little boy's understanding of the Buffalo market is better than what I give him credit for: "Icould see the NFL, if and when fans are allowed to come to games, advising anyone over 70 to not come. I could see alcohol being banned at games for the year. (Meaning, theoretically, fewer trips to crowded rest rooms through crowded concourses by patrons.)"

In 2008, Belichick coached a team led by Matt Cassel to a 10-5 record when Brady went down with a knee injury. Is that struggling?

In 2008, Belichick coached a team led by Matt Cassel to a 10-5 record when Brady went down with a knee injury. That includes two wins over the Bills. During Brady’s four-game Deflategate suspension in 2016, Belichick got three wins out of a combination of Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Brissett. I wouldn't underestimate Belichick.

The Patriots might be a bit weaker. But as long as Bill Belichick is running the show, they will be dangerous.

Yeah. Let me know when that fat f**ktard starts doing his job.

"Mr. Trump, while criticizing mail voting, recently acknowledged that in March he voted absentee by mail in his adopted home state of Florida. In the 2018 midterm elections, Mr. Trump voted absentee by mail from New York. Mr. Trump is hardly the only administration official to vote by mail. Vice President Mike Pence voted absentee by mail for both the primary and general election in 2018. Alex Azar, the Health and Human Services secretary, also voted absentee in 2018 and Wilbur Ross, the commerce secretary, has voted absentee 15 times in the last 15 years, according to Florida’s voter file. Mr. Ross, like Mr. Trump, voted absentee for Florida’s primary last month." If voting by mail is good enough for the top bananarepublican and his toadies, it should be good enough for all of us. https://www.nytimes.com/article/mail-in-voting-explained.html

Your comment reminds me of the lyrics to the Grateful Dead's "Uncle John's Band." "Cause when life looks like easy street, there is danger at your door" I hope you make it through unscathed. But you never know what's around the corner.

I'm cool with that idea.

The O'Leary family from the Chicago fire of 1871?

Another sleepless night of fretting over the Bills' lost chances!

Here's an absolutely ruthless, contrarian evaluation of Brady's career. I'm not saying I agree with it all, but I really enjoyed reading it! https://deadspin.com/tom-brady-is-the-most-overrated-qb-in-history-new-engl-1842378911

You are spot on. Success and continuity go hand-in-hand. Success doesn't mean always winning the Super Bowl every year. But it does mean fielding a team that is competitive, entertaining and always in contention.

The articles are OK. I just didn't find the site compelling.

I subscribed to the Atlantic last fall, based on the orgasmic comments from subscribers here on TBD. I got it at a discount. Frankly, it's not worth it, even at the discounted price. I called today to cancel my subscription.

There could be changes to how we can access Sunday Ticket after 2022, when broadcast rights come up for renewal. According to this story, "AT&T has signaled both publicly and privately is too expensive to profitably renew at $1.5 billion per year." That could open the door to any number of would-be (streaming and broadcast) suitors. However, the story also says: "But it also means the NFL knows it has all the leverage in these discussions, and will likely wring every drop of money it can from desperate media companies who simply can’t afford to lose the most popular thing on television." https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/22/nfl-tv-rights-up-for-renewal-in-2022-and-big-media-will-pay-more.html

Is it possible ... even conceivable ... that his mother is lying through her teeth? My guess is that the whole family is blinded by $ signs.

I stumbled onto the LA-Dallas game while channel-surfing. I don't know any of these XFL teams but decided I would root against Dallas because ... it's Dallas.

I'll be in my grave.

I've had Skyline Cincinnati Chili (canned) in the past. The sodium levels are astronomical.

They're not looking for yesterday's stud. They want to find tomorrow's stud.

I'm retired. Every day is a weekend.

There are plenty of decisions to be made in the off-season: wide receiver, o-line, replacement for the leadership skills of Lorenzo Alexander/Frank Gore. But those are the kind of decisions that good teams, or teams on the upswing, have. The issue we don't have to worry about: Angst over inept coaches or GMs.

No.

Tony Cornholer is a douche.
