A week ago, I was nearly certain the Bills are going to lose this game. A couple days ago, I was fairly confident the Bills are going to win this game. In a few hours, I'll have the Bills winning by 8. By 7pm ET tonight, I'll be predicting a 2-score win for the Bills.

The Bills played like absolute crap in their home opener last year. They (offense) also played like crap vs. Jacksonville. Those two games made the difference between the AFCCG being in Buffalo and the AFCCG being in Kansas City. They need to win close games (they did not last year) and they need to beat the piss out of inferior teams (aforementioned PIT and JAX games from last year).

I'd buy one of those.

Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl But she doesn't have a lot to say Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl But she changes from day to day I wanna tell her that I love her a lot But I gotta get a belly full of wine Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl Someday I'm gonna make her mine, oh yeah Someday I'm gonna make her mine

That's not aiding and abetting. It's not treason. It's her exercising her freedom of speech that those U.S. soldiers "were fighting for." Some people give an awful lot of power to an actress with a microphone. Give me a break.

Yep. Those are fair rankings, for sure. Steffi Graf has always been my favorite, but I do think it’s silly to place Serena Williams anywhere but number one.

The gap in the level of talent between the top 3-4 players in the world and the rest is pretty significant. Jessie Pegula is the highest ranked American tennis player (Men and Women) in the world. She's now comfortably in the top 10 in the world. But as long as she's seeded 7th or 8th (seems to be the trend), she's always going to face a top 3 player in the Quarterfinals. What sucks most is that she's such a late bloomer. Her window is closing. She is just in a position that will dictate either a top seed being knocked off in the early rounds, or facing a top seed who's having a bad day in the quarterfinals. Not a goddamn thing to be ashamed of. Like I said ... she's the best tennis player in America right now. That's nothing to shake a stick at. I just hope she can get a break and at least reach the semis of a major. Winning one would be phenomenal. I, for one, love following her on her journey.

Homemade beef on Weck. Getting wings from my favorite local wing joint. Thinking of grabbing some shrimp for shrimp cocktail; perhaps some hummus and chips/crackers. I've got a few Alchemist beers in the fridge. I'm a hard seltzer drinker these days (I got the sugar), but I'll indulge and have a couple nice IPAs.

Don’t you EVER underestimate Timmah Graham!!

How did she aid and abet? Even with cancer, she's probably in a lot better shape than a lot of Vietnam vets - thanks to the country they fought for.

I can't stand the table crap, either. As for Bills Mafia, I've always been pretty much indifferent. I think it's harmless. I could take it or leave it. I'd never purchase any Bills Mafia merch, myself, but it doesn't bug me that others do. I'll say this, though ... I'd get a Bills Mafia tattoo before I ever donned a pair of ***** zubaz!

Where I'm coming from, it's not 26Shirts OR The Bills that I'm worried about ... it's about those in need who've been benefitting from the sales of this merch for a decade.

It looks like the focus is regional ... https://www.wivb.com/news/good-news-with-gabby/26-shirts-ramps-up-efforts-to-help-more-in-need/

26Shirts is/has always been charity driven, so I think it just makes sense that - as the Bills take ownership of the slogan - it continues to contribute to the original mission. I didn't know that about merch sales, thanks. Totally agree with your second sentence, which is really what I'm curious about. I'd be shocked if there wasn't something agreed upon once discussions started.

I'm wondering what percentage of Bills Mafia merchandise revenue (for merch sold through the Bills Store) goes to charity.

Very good article from Oct. 2020 with input from both Terry Pegula and Del Reid. https://theathletic.com/2143835/2020/10/16/bills-mafia-finally-joins-teams-official-family-after-years-of-being-rebuffed/

Thank you for telling something about my own parents that I never knew.

Just so I'm clear (sometimes I get confused) ... did you just tell me that you are certain that my parents, neither of whom you've ever met, have (or had) homophobic and/or racist views?

LMAO! This is awesome! https://twitter.com/hashtag/FlorioBreakingNews?src=hashtag_click

My father was born in 1939 and my mother in 1944. Neither is a bigot. It's never "normal."

Here is a list of Buffalo Bills trademarks. There are two "Mafia" trademarks, both filed for in Oct. 2020: https://www.gerbenlaw.com/trademarks/nfl/buffalo-bills/ I'm not sure what the "new" part of this news is that PFT is sharing.

Where are they still for sale online?
