Yes, I definitely remember him being a devoted Mets fan and enjoyed his posts. I hope your fears are proven wrong. 🤞 RIP, sir. I hate hearing these things, especially when a fellow Bills fan passes without experiencing a Lombardi Trophy for Buffalo. Too many in my own family fall into that sad category, as well. Peace, brothers & sisters.

I get all that and I agree...but 3 missed FGs doesn't necessarily have anything to do with being a bad team. Carlson has been a decent kicker his entire career. That's some flat out luck for KC.

Close enough. You win.

Unreal. Another bs Chiefs Houdini act. Who other than these jokers wins a two point game with the other team missing three FGs AND enacting a Keystone Kops routine while driving for the game winning FG. No matter, it would have been miss number four, I'm sure.

No es bueno.

Bills will win this game Fish will be Tua and six Division is ours

Fish are food not friends Squish them, cook them, eat them, too Fish are food not friends

@Gugny I don't understand the bolded comment. He is universally recognized as one of the really good, young baseball minds in MLB today. He has done a phenomenal job over the years assembling pitching staffs for a budget conscious team in Milwaukee and he pieced together a staff this year for the Mets that got them all the way to the NLCS. They have a ton of money coming off the books and I fully expect him to go big game hunting with Uncle Steve's checkbook and I expect some good value/budget signings, as well. He is also savvy with the minor leagues and is working to build a robust farm system. They are off to a good start there, IMO. He also grew up a Met fan in NYC and knows what kind of player it takes to make it in Queens. I said I was excited when they got him and I stand by that. I was also onboard with the Mendoza signing and I am more than happy with him now. I don't think there are any young, 'up and coming' managers at the moment better than Mendy. They've tried new, they've tried experienced, and nothing has worked. I think this one ultimately will. He's a knowledgeable baseball guy through and through with good situational awareness and feel for the game. I have more genuine hope with Cohen, Stearns, & Mendoza than I have had in decades. But, as always, time will tell. It was a great year, no doubt. It was easier to let go after losing in the NLCS because of the many magical moments we got to experience but there is still a small piece of me that was disappointed and wonders "what if". So many runners left on base in that series. A few timely knocks here and there and it may have turned out differently. We will never know now, obviously, but I honestly believe we would have handled the Skanks and been World Series Champions. How sweet would that have been to win it AND take down the 'Evil Empire' in a a year that seemed doomed from the start? They would have been the modern day 'Miracle Mets' (although it's hard to say that based on payroll). I was pulling for the Dodgers 100% in the WS although I threw up in my mouth a little doing so. In any event, I really enjoyed this season when all was said and done and I am really looking forward to the 'Hot Stove' season. The Soto sweepstakes should be interesting. BTW, the Dodgers said they're interested in Soto if he is interested in them. WTF? How much more do they need?? If they land him, baseball is truly broken. Soto said he would listen to everyone and is not taking any deferred money like Ohtani did. He's not giving the Skanks a 'hometown' discount so it will be interesting to see if Steinbrenner is all in on bringing him back or if Soto grabs his bag elsewhere. Also, I will always love Pete Alonso for that HR in Milwaukee but I am ambivalent about bringing him back. I didn't think I would feel that way coming into his last season but I do. If he comes back, cool. If he leaves, I'm good. Just don't break the bank for him if it costs you a chance at Juan Soto and an ace like Corbin Burnes. If I had my way, I'd get Willy Adames (Brewers UFA), stick him at 3B, move Vientos to 1B, and let Pete walk. As always gents...LGM!

The worst part of life is having to say goodbye to friends, loved ones,and those we have encountered along the way who brought some measure of happiness to our lives, even if fleeting. Losing a fellow Bills fan and longtime member of the community is never easy. It's a sobering reminder of our own mortality. Thoughts and prayers to John's family. A final farewell...RIP, John. And...'Go Bills!'

FWIW, he also said the roughing call on Josh was not right either. He doubled down on his criticism of the refs.

Looks like the Dodgers were the ones to administer last rites...

Bad news for the Bills. The Jest will likely get the "one game bump" teams seem to get after a firing.

@SinceThe70s @Gugny @Another Fan Kodai Senga is starting game one against the Phil-thies this afternoon. Let's hope this is a pleasant surprise and not a nightmare (only one start this year makes me nervous). LGM!

Sounded like he said Logue would be active. I may have missed that nuanced difference. Thanks for pointing it out.

Per McDermott, newly signed DT Zion Logue will be active for the game.
