May Day 10

How do you guys feel about them keeping Boone? I know he is annoying to Yankees fans for his positivity and seeming to ignore problems. Sitting on those grenades and getting the players' backs does score points and respect in the lockerroom though. I think Boone is a good guy with integrity and if they ever get that roster and salary structure in order, he will do just fine Managers basically refer to a binder to determine what to do nowadays. The last actual manager has retired (francona). I do think Cashman is awful though and the league has passed him by.

id drop baltimore down. That division still is muddy.

Is that a Rangers-branded life jacket?

I know it's not how these things always work, but it looks like buffalo should beat the giants by 40

The giants stink.

I laughed at so many of them saying the loss is ok and expected because "buffalo needed the game more" and played harder. Miami had a chance to put their nemesis, the top dogs in the division, who beat them out last year and in a playoff game far in their rear view mirror. Can't get up for that?

It's a shame. Cb is the worst position for a player to experience these kinds of injuries. It's very high speed and reactive, moving based on the opponents. This is going to be a major battle for tre, both mentally and physically. He is going to have to be a positive thinker and a fierce and focused worker. Hopefully von Miller can coach him through this

That stadium, the way it is layed-out will never set a noise record. If you transplanted our crowd into seattle, KC, or an indoor stadium, I have no doubt we would have the record, even on an average day.

every nfl game is tough. I hope the Bills can stay hungry and put in the work. With that said, based on a lot of parity in the league, the schedule looks a lot less daunting than it did a month ago. The Bills can go on an extended run

It's heart breaking to see White's anguish. Great guy, and a great player who truly loves playing the game. I'm guessing it's bad. You can feel and hear a pop just from a calf tear like burrow has... but the training and medical staff can figure out generally how severe in a matter of seconds. It seems everyone knew. I rehabbed from an acl tear. It was a frustrating, time consuming process. I couldn't imagine having another catastrophic injury after that and dealing with that mountain ahead. Tre can do it though and he will be back in the nfl, hopefully with the bills. I'm hoping everyone is wrong and it turns out to be a calf strain. Sit him out for a few months and as good as new.

Week 1 is preseason now. Sloppy football and strange results across the board

It looks like they have given up.

Can they just flex the jets out of prime time the rest of the season? Is there anyone who would object?

Rousseau was a dominant player

James Cook (and to some extent latavious murray) have been what this offense has lacked to date. It makes them so much more rounded and difficult to stop. Kincaid and a committee of Cook, Harty, sherfield, etc are an element missing since Beasley aged out. The o-line is also looking quality, but the build and rounded Ness of the offense helps. Defense also looks terrific so far. All there d-lineman they drafted (Oliver, Rousseau, epinesa) all look like monsters and we have von Miller coming back. Overall I was very nervous and tentative in my confidence coming into the season. Now I'm thinking this may be the best they have been.

Yes, if you read the article, there seems to be a current from Bills alumni that they feel pushed away/ignored by the organization (including members of the AFL Championship worrying they are going to ignore the 60th anniversary next year). Spikes took it upon himself to publicize it a bit maybe and push the 'issue' to the forefront. Its enough where it got people talking about it and Bills executives had to/have to answer questions about it. I do think it is a bit of a low blow to be honest. I do get where they are coming from overall. Both Bills and Sabres alumni have been pushed to the backburner under this ownership. Honoring/remembering the past just doesn't seem to be a priority

It sounds like it was embellished by spikes to shine light on issues that have been putting off alumni. Lots of other info in that article. The Sabres have the same issue under pegula. They seem to have forgotten or don't care about the history of the team. No more hall of fame inductions or any of that stuff. Only the cheap pop of retiring Ryan miller's number (which is a joke). Last sabres hof induction was hawerchuk in 2011. Ignoring the history and not serving platters of nostalgia is a pet peeve of mine Now we can't have Jim Kelly yelling at Marcel darius for kneeling during the anthem, but the bills need to meet somewhere in the middle.

Its a shame. This is maybe the best Pac 12 season as far as the conference top-to-bottom, including the biggest story in college football (Colorado). Its adding a lot of flavor to NCAA football (which has been drab outside the Pac 12 to be honest). Pac 12 is necessary flavoring and it is going to be sucky it is gone

Its still not close

That and the fallacy of sunk costs. That was supposed to be Trevor Lawrence in a tank year, but Frank Gore had to pile up yards in a meaningless game

People forget that he was becoming unpopular here near the end of his tenure. They had some sluggish games various parts of that season. Then we had the 'perfect game' and 13 seconds which were the best 2 offensive performances in the history of this franchise, and that is what everyone remembers. I think Daboll was a very good coordinator. I do think it is probably a good thing to change it up with coordinators every few years (as long as your QB is indoctrinated into the NFL and can deal/adapt). No matter what a coordinator does, Im sure tendencies and predictability exist on some level once they hit 3-4-5 seasons with the same Offense (or defense).

I do like his enthusiasm and he does a decent job... He suffers from the same problem that Murphy has though. I listened to the first 20 minutes of the game on the radio yesterday. You have little idea of down/distance or the depth of a play. Van Miller used to paint that picture so well and build that information into the intensity of his voice and calling the game. "Theres a pass out there to Kincaid... he grabs the ball! He is brought down there by XXXX. Nice quick pass there by Allen who was already feeling some pressure from his left side. They only gained 3 yards though and its 3rd and 7. Most plays can be anywhere from 1 yard to 12 yards and you don't really know for too long. Id say Brown is a little better at giving those details on a timely basis than Murphy.

I don't feel bad for the Jets and their fans at all. They tried to skip to the front of the line by putting all their chips on a 40 year old QB. I heard so much hype, and they were planning their Super Bowl trips. Not to mention, Rodgers as they face of it is a bad look as he has become insufferable. Their fans can and will just shape-shift into Yankees or Mets fans for the playoffs (whoops).

At one point, we had an embarrassment of riches, especially on the blue line. Myers (still very young, but not a prospect at that time), Zadorov, Ristolainen, Pysyk, McNabb were all blue chip D 1st Round level prospects. There were also guys like Compher and Lemieux who were highly rated around that time... plus Grigorenko and Girgensons drafted in the first round, not to mention the promise of the upcoming tank picks. They also possessed a ton of draft capital at that point. Under Murray, they squandered much of that and also failed to develop, and lost organizational assets at pennies on the dollar. Now, they have the organizational/prospect depth at forward (while also have top 3 young NHL defenseman). It looks like they are developing well. I think they hit a grand slam on Benson falling to them. Still need to put it all together and get over the hump to be a relevant NHL franchise.

You are probably right. If the Bills had a developmental team, I think I could (possibly) be compelled to watch
