Word on the street is he’s already got an endorsement deal…

What are the odds that the artist behind that picture may also be behind this gem… Damn, Augie, no need to be mean. After all, he’s only a rookie and this is meant to be good natured fun.

Nah... as far as this issue is concerned, I think things are right with the universe just as they are.

The premise of your thread is all things being equal... flip flopping teams is not equal. Posit, instead, if you have a KC team coached by Reid in an alternate universe where the only change in makeup of the team is Allen at QB instead of Mahomes OR one in which there is a Bills team coached by McDermott and the only difference is the QB is Mahomes instead of Allen, which parallel team has more success? Tough one, IMO.

Will McDermott be able to keep himself from staring at Gable Steveson with puppy dog eyes long enough to coach the team.

I obviously remembered how physical he was, and how fast he was as a physical receiver, which is not as common. What I forgot was what great hands he had. I was just watching a highlight reel and was amazed at the number of times he hauled in an off target pass one handed before it became en vogue. Pair him with a legit QB in his prime and he would be in the HOF.

I would have got the reference, regardless... but it helps that it was posted by the inventor of the flux capacitor.

Jessica is the oldest of Kim and Terry's kids. If memory serves, prior to Kim's health problems she was the one who had publicly alluded to someday being involved in the day-to-day dealings of the sports teams with her mother. Laura is older and has worked with Terry in his other business ventures prior to his owning the Bills and Sabres. I think he also has a son that is his oldest child, but you don't hear much about him.

With the unfortunate circumstances surrounding Kim combined with Jessica's tennis career, it's likely that bringing Laura in now was, at least in part, out of necessity.

80 Moulds 79...

In his prime... Terrell Owens. Or Moulds... or Lofton... or Reed in no particular order. Honorable mention to Lee Evans. Always curious what he could have done with a NFL caliber QB throwing to him. Stevie was fine, but I'm tired of watching receivers drop passes (before anyone tries to call me out on TO, he made enough wow plays in his prime to more than make up for his oopsies).

Round these parts @mrags calls this the Coleman stretch of the NFL calendar.

I think Taylor Rapp will forget that Diggs is no longer a teammate and will hit him helmet to helmet or will spear him in the neck after a play has ended, ending his afternoon early.

Hmmm... didn't the lawsuit get dropped, the authorities failed to raise criminal charges, and the accuser's story fall apart? I guess even without the charges, the fact that he admitted to having sex with her against the side of the house at a party must have been proof enough that he was a culture fit for the Chiefs... 🤷‍♀️

Except that most were no longer in his organization, and while the timing of the release coincided with the Bills being pretty underwhelming on the field, to source 25 people and put together a 3 part 21,000 word series on McDermott suggests that this was in the works as early as the offseason. I agree that Beane engaging him may be a means to control the narrative. Regardless of whether or not he ultimately was approached about it and/or signed off on it, it has to rankle McDermott… especially if he is the thin-skinned, narcissistic control freak that takes no responsibility for failure, as Dunne had previously written (his words, not mine…).

I want the Bills to also have to deal with the embarrassment that one of their SB rings has a typo in it.

KC United… those effers stole the rings from a youth program. Bastards! https://www.kcunited.org

Whether I reference it as the "hit piece," which is immediately recognized, or as the heavily sourced 20,000 word article that nobody in the Bills FO refuted, it doesn't change the point of my post. After the fallout from the article for McDermott, it's interesting that Beane sat down with Dunne and provided him more access.

Interesting that Beane sat down with him given the hit piece on McDermott last season. Regardless of what your opinion on the article was in terms of justified or not, it caused McDermott some embarrassment that he had to publicly answer for. Now his GM is giving the author more access…

He’s 50 yrs old… not saying it’s impossible, but if that was the message he might consider changing his name to Bachelor Milloy.

I gave him an A but I think he's in the B+/A- range. His maneuvering to get Allen was his crowning achievement, but I also think 3 of the last 4 opening day rosters were talented enough to win a SB. If Miller doesn't blow out his knee and they bring home the Lombardi one of the last 2 seasons, no one would care about the investment in an aging player because we'd be too busy smiling and high-fiving about the hardware. Prior to the injury, that looked like the type of impact he could have had. With FA and the salary cap, no lineup is perfect top to bottom. Beane has no control of injuries or coaching decisions, which have undermined those opening day rosters.

Savaged Peyton Manning and Louisiana.

Man… if this keeps up there’s no way we’re winning the offseason. 😶

I think Doug Whaley said it best (surprisingly enough); “This is the game of football. Injuries are part of it. It's a violent game that I personally don't think lizard people are supposed to play."
