  1. well that would be a “fix”, would it not?
  2. influenced by whom?
  3. The Araiza fetish seems incurable. Martin dropped 2 inside the 20. Bass has his own problems
  4. he prefers all to travel under the bus....
  5. yeah, the history of the NFL is littered with dubious retreads getting picked up by other teams.... then dumped again. Look at this year's firings alone--a litany of HC's and former coordinators. Some might get another shot because owners (i.e. those least fit to make such a choice) make that call. But after he disappeared a year ago, I don't see anyone scrolling through their rolodex looking for Leslie's land line number....
  6. No you have the wrong cultist.
  7. what if there are no fans with complements?
  8. yup. could have been at Henrietta exit hours ago and in his hotel room by now. They have cars in the city....
  9. Hardly worth pointing out. McCarthy and Payton won SBs. Both are tired retreads, same as many HCs every year. Ron Rivera got another job after Carolina. Marrone was a total bum, he was rehired. Ditto Rex Reed. It's a long list. I can't imagine they feel pressured by information they were already well aware of. Squeezing them in public will have no effect on any negotiations.
  10. local travel ban lifted 2 hours ago bro--could have driven hours ago.
  11. circle back here if the Bills lose to The Mason Rudolphs....
  12. why can't they tarp the seats, like Jacksonville
  13. to be honest, I had no reason he would be this good in his first year starting. He looks good
  14. Love and Allen are the only deserving QBs in the MVP conversation. This kid has a cannon and is placing balls in tiny spaces. Cool under pressure. Even considering Lamar Jackson in this capacity is mind boggling.
  15. Where’s the MVP love for J Love?
  16. you think the Rooney's didn't know his contract is about to expire without this "leak"?
  17. extra day of rest can only help.
  18. not at all what I said and clearly not what I argued. The OP was complaining that a guy should get paid extra to show up for work because there’s going to be foul weather—describing being outside in foul weather as “hazardous”, and suggesting more money for that worker, even though that wouldn’t mitigate the hazard or whatever the OP was describing. If the base salary was twice minimum wage, the OPs point would still make no sense. Would time and a half make the employer more “benevolent”? Of course not. And as I mentioned, thousands of others (fans) are willingly putting themselves at the exact same risk as the employees—in fact paying likely hundreds of dollars to do so. OP doesn’t describe his unease and displeasure with the Bills and the NFL nonchalance about fan hazard…. Some extra money for employees doesn’t affect the problem OP is saying he is concerned with. It doesn’t follow logically, leaving aside the fact that employment outdoors in Buffalo in the winter has implied hazard of bad weather. Countless employed individuals will have to go out in the weather over the next 2 days for scheduled work hours to possibly dig out Buffalo. Many likely will be exposed to hazards more significant than checking fans bags entering the stadium for a few hours.
  19. most everything you wear was made in those shops. Why call out the NFL for having Nike (for example) as a sponsor because of who Nike subcontracts manufacturing of Nike (not “NFL”) products?
  20. well then every fan who buys the merchandise is as complicit as “the NFL” where does it end? Are the Bills complicit with animal cruelty for allowing venders to sell chicken fingers produced in grotesque factory farms? shoukd they not let you flash you iPhone e ticket because of the insane secondary market transaction fees or that the phones are made in Chinese sweatshops?
  21. Not necessarily. Bills have been sending him mostly on short sideline routes. Take away his 4 longest catches (totaling 124 yards, minus an average of 5 YBC per) and his YAC for the other 69 catchers is 3 yards. Also, his 1st down % (40) is well below Diggs, Davis, Shakir, Knox--all receivers with at least 30 targets.
  22. I bet Beane feels he is paying them for more than 1 above average game.
  23. I just seemed an odd complaint: hazard pay for those getting paid to be there, yet 10's of thousands will be paying to be there, exposed to the same hazard. Maybe they deserve some sort of refund for showing up?
  24. would another $7.50 an hour make him safer? NFL teams are not outsourcing "such work" to sweat shops. The companies that pay to put the logo on their garments do, like Nike.
