May Day 10

Tom Brady needs to cool it with the plastic surgery

The way the stairs have been designed. Near the front of the 400s there are stairs and railings in the way or close to the way. The reps seem to downplay it, however, I am picturing how this will look in practice. People going up and down those stairs, pausing, being generally inconsiderate will get old immediately. Its the one design flaw I have seen.

The problem permeates throughout the organization and is not only Adams. Pegula has circled the wagons and has insulated them from the outside world, not unlike Ralph Wilson later in life. The only people there are people the owner and Adams are comfortable with. Most/all of these people are grossly under-qualified, and have a track-record of long-term failure here with zero accountability. Pegula has also been proven to be a poor judge of character when he thinks the opposite. Adams - Nightingale - Crowe - Jakubowski - Forton - Ventura - Mair/Kennedy - Appert - Ellis - Karmanos... all of them. Pegula needs to install someone at the top who will fix each hockey-related department. Cleanse out these grifters, and hire people who are qualified and at the forefront of their areas of expertise. Buffalo is not the most appealing destination for 20-something millionaires when held up to NYC or Vegas, I get it. However, the organization undoubtedly carries a lot of dubious baggage throughout the NHLPA for various dealings and a clear lack of urgency to succeed. Create a success-oriented organization where players come in, have fun, succeed, maximize their earning potential, and be treated fairly? Yeah, players would be much more open to coming here. As long as they keep toiling with Adams and this crew, they will never be a good team. Appert will be named the new head coach within the next year and we will have to suffer through at least 2 seasons of a low level NCAA coach pretending to be an NHL coach. They may snag a WC spot at some point as #16 in a 32 team league, but they won't ever break through. They will oscillate between bottom of the barrel and mediocre.

Hawes has quickly become one of my favorite players in just a few short weeks.

I would suggest tossing Youtube TV and going with Fubo. otherwise I think you need to subscribe to the Gotham app which is very expensive. id rather not watch the sabres

Teams, if they arent already, will be to the wiser when providing any information to Brady/his network. I don't think Brady is sophisticated enough to gain any sort of competitive advantage over this. He is not a wizard.

I think an NFL property in Toronto would break the record by a sizeable mark. Expansion fee would probably be $10 Billion or more for that. Huge untapped market in an un-tapped country (I believe the rest of Canada would support the NFL team in Toronto despite hating Toronto like they do the Blue Jays, but not the Leafs). And the $10 Billion (plus stadium) would be a good investment. The way to make that work would probably be some sort of collaboration/partnership between the Thomson family and MLSE. I anyone hasn't been to Toronto in the last 10 years or so, go up there and try to pick your jaw up off the floor.

im thinking theyll get gilmour and waters together and play Run Like Hell

I would think the NFL would want in Toronto bad. It is a behemoth of a city with many different cultures within.... in a new country. To a man, I would bet the NFL owners wanted/planned on the Bills relocating, but the timing of Rogers' death, Wilson's death (in relation to the brand new lease extension and renovations), and Pegula being on the scene with enough liquid wealth made that an impossibility. Now we have a new stadium, which likely secures the team for at least 2 decades. The best thing for the future of the Bills in the mean time may be an expansion team in Toronto over the next decade to 15 years. I do not believe it would hurt the Bills at the turnstiles or corporate involvement. If anything, it may help. Southern Ontario could get NFL-mad, and there is only so much inventory 1 team could have, and Buffalo could enjoy a runoff. Toronto is plenty large enough and sports-crazy enough to have ample support for 2 teams like NYC and LA. Without a Toronto team, I think we could hear the murmurs of relocation again down the line, well before New Highmark hits its 30-year "life-cycle".

Minimum.... and on the telecast he couched it with 'if rehab goes perfectly' and 'if the Bengals are still in it'. He may be done for the year.

I did it last year. It wasnt bad, really. Schedule early in the AM as possible. You will need rides. Day before, I drank hot broth slowly, black coffee in the AM, and popsicles that conformed to the dr's instructions (I think red dyes were out?). Those suppressed my appetite good enough. If you have to do the miralax, mix it with white/clear gatorade (glacier freeze?). I researched a bit and found this was the best flavor for eliminating any bad taste. It worked well and just tasted like drinking gatorade. I stayed up most of the night (had to drink half at like 7PM, and the other at 2AM. I played video games.

Ill be there. Our typical group.

Schefter last night on MNF football said 3 months, but then gave a handful of qualifiers.

Add in the Texans starting 0-2

It is bonkers that Cleveland let Mayfield slip through their fingertips

I threw dirt on the Patriots' casket way too many times. I do not think the Chiefs are "done". However, their margin for error has never been smaller since the rest of their Division has gotten themselves going. You also have two teams in the conference who are objectively better than they are right now. Starting in an 0-2 hole is tough. It seems like over this run, they have enjoyed a lot of breaks (many of them self-made). How good will the Chiefs be in January when they are forced to play into week 18 and also play Wild Card Weekend? Then forced to win maybe three away games before the Superbowl?

It'll probably get better with worthy and rice, but their offense looks terrible right now. O-line gives mahomes no time, and they are using Kareem hunt who is long in the tooth... as is kelce.

What makes someone "injury prone"?. I could see if they have a chronic knee issue or they are victim of recurring concussions. Burrow's injuries are unrelated for the most part other than many seem to be lower extremities. Does he need to go over the top with yoga/pilates? Less strength training? Need more flexibility? Him/the Bengals should pay top dollar for a personal fitness trainer at this point.

That is true. Also factor in being in the offense/system for a handful of seasons (including playing time).

Bosa has been a revelation.

Just looked over their schedule. Pretty consistently tough until the final 2 weeks of the season.

Browning can hold the fort and win enough games maybe to qualify and give Burrow time to come back. That offense is loaded. Im not sure Brown would want to be on the hook for Cousins' money

Toronto is getting into NYC territory of bigness. The NFL should want a team there and it would bring in an insane amount of revenue. If Toronto doesnt get a team anytime soon-ish... I would expect the prospect of the Bills relocating rearing its ugly head in 2 decades.

That o-line and mahomes look like poop

New punter looks good
