The Ryan Seacrest of the NFL, he's also very close to the Rob Riggle overexposed line. I'm not sure who in the NFL offices thinks Rob Riggle or Michael Strahan need to be involved with every production. The best thing about TNF were the little movies they put together before the game.

Only if you enjoy the risk of being killed in your sleep because you flung one of the eight cats off the bed inadvertently. TBH, her crime definitely doesn't fit the profile. Sure, she's mentally ill and waving huge poster sized red flags that she was but she was a lonely animal loving, vegan person who enjoyed making YouTube videos for a long time. I read somewhere that statistically lone wolf shooters aren't animal lovers.

Even a time machine couldn't change the mysteriously emotionally invested fanboys these quartbacks have on the board. "We went into the future. Josh Allen is out of the league by 2020. Here are the newspapers to prove it." Emotionally charged fanboy response: "You don't know that for sure."

The Rams are definitely trying out the "but....you can do it in Madden" approach to free agency this year.

Hard Target, 1993. Jean Claude van Damme was the so called star but imo, Lance Henriksen and Arnold Vosloo stole the movie. Runner-up: Damnation Alley, 1977. Probably one of the better end of the world sequences. Plus it had pre A-Team George Peppard and a still sober Jan Michael Vincent.

Eh. You're trying to mix in standard NFL business practice (handouts and subsidies) to defend your point of view. What's principle #1 of owning any business? Don't spend your own money if someone is willing to spend theirs. If you can cite an NFL franchise that isn't taking money from the government, you'll have to let me know. In regards to the stadium renovations, the Bills don't own the asset, Erie County does. Would you fund out of your own pocket 85% of the cost of renovations to your rental home when you're not the landlord? Erie County paid for renovations to its own asset. Should they have paid 85%? No. The Bills never required an emergency or desperate infusion of cash to keep the business in Buffalo nor is the franchise anchored by long term capital debt like the Cowboys, Jets and Giants are. Wilson didn't layoff employees routinely like you see today just to improve his margins. The Forbes data that's published yearly on the valuation of the franchises attests to this. I'm not saying he was the NFL's greatest owner or that he was even a "good" owner. I just don't think he's a "cheap" one like Art Modell or the "Kens" from the 90s Seahawks, the Bidwells or the Irsays.

I think the OP is way off on this topic but I respect his or her opinion nonetheless. As I stated in another thread on the board, I consider the "Ralph is cheap" conspiracy theory to be the "flat earth" of Bills conspiracy theories. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, some people will still believe it nonetheless. There are three tendencies I feel fans seem to fall into when debating this theory: 1. Mediocre staff hires, free agents and on-field product doesn't necessarily mean "cheap", frugal use of resources but perhaps exceptionally poor decision making. There isn't anything cheap about firing guys in the middle of their contracts, bringing on free agents who don't perform or poor performance dragging the value of the investment down every year. Do you think Ralph Wilson went out of his way to deliberately have the lowest rated franchise in the NFL? Do you think he paid Derrick Dockery and Langston Walker all that money because he wanted their poor performance in return? 2. Only viewing the Buffalo Bills through on-field performance only, forgetting or ignoring it is a business that invests in the community. The Bills were a well-run business, despite the challenges of poor performance and an aging stadium with little long term debt. The team was never insolvent or desperately needing a new city or new partners to be profitable. The team never came to NY state needing a desperate cash infusion just to keep the lights on. You never saw the hundreds of Bills employees being laid off en masse. 3. Wilson's fight against numerous CBAs was simply because *he* didn't want to pay players. IMO, it was more about keeping his small-market business (Bills) and our team (Bills) competitive as much as possible in a league dominated by far larger, far wealthier businesses. Ralph Wilson may not have been the most shrewd business owner in the NFL or remotely the best at making decisions. I think he was an owner who was totally unprepared for and always two steps behind the disruption the free-agency era NFL created. However, I just don't see the evidence he was a cheap owner. I certainly don't believe OJ Simpson's opine on it nor Jerry Sullivan's XXL-sized axe he's been ambitiously grinding for the last two decades.

Aaron Maybin is the #1 worst pick because all of the red flags were waving in hurricane force winds not to pick him with a high pick and we did it anyway. This list is an indictment of the Bills previous FO mindset on picking athletes over football players. Let's hope that is changing.

I don't care about these test results. I always found the NFL's reliance on this antiquated test to be peculiar. I'd hope the teams would develop their own tests to gauge how *well* and how *fast* a QB can read a defense and make adjustments.

He's an example of the kind of LB the Bills need. With some pro-level conditioning, I think he can be elite.

I'll wager no team is going to make that trade. That's too much to give up for an oft-injured, volatile personality that just so happens to be on the last year of a contract and may or may not be under investigation for violating league rules.

Tyrod. He was the captain of the ship when the streak was broken. All those other guys had their chance. Runner up: Flutie. He got us to the playoffs in 1999 and should have started in Nashville. When quarterbacks get benched during the season in Buffalo for any reason but injury, very bad things can happen if the wrong is not "righted." The football gods do not approve.

I selected "Stay at 12" and build the team. I think a high pick QB creates unnecessary QB controversy that'd be detrimental to both the pick and McCarron. Let's see what A.J. can do. (Then...we'll panic if necessary.)

I don't know why they went back to 1990. Wholly irrelevant IMO unless there's a rationale that just isn't detailed there. The quarterback of 1991 isn't the one you needed in 2000. The QB of 2000 isn't the one you need in 2018. A guy like Jeff George would be a 2nd round pick today. Sure, can throw the ball a country mile but very inaccurate.

Saw Pacific Rim Uprising. Better than I thought it'd be since it's minus del Toro this time around. Pros: Better than advertised story with a little depth, some new Jaegers, good job of stitching the two movies together, some daytime battles. Cons: Scott Eastwood is trying too hard to be his dad, too many kids, not enough adults, it's still big robots causing hundreds of billions of dollars in collateral damage.

Cornelius Bennett. Best seasons were as a Bill. Had his only 100+ tackle season here. With ATL and IND post 1995, never broke 75 tackles, never made another Pro Bowl. Some fans forget he was a 2x defensive player of the year here and coming out of Alabama, some thought he was better than Lawrence Taylor. The Bills made a ballsy trade to acquire him in 1987.

My favorite: Ralph Wilson was a "cheap" owner. It's the "flat Earth" of Bills fandom.

If it was your personal career and livelihood on the line there isn't a single person on this board who'd pick him #1-#5. He's this year's Christian Hackenberg. If arm strength was all that mattered, Hackenberg would have been a Day #1 starter for the Jets.

I'd be interested in knowing how he turned it around because he was a mess. He's in better shape than I thought he'd be.

Pragmatist. The FO has precious minutes to react on draft night so you need to have Plans A-D thought out.

This news needs a hashtag: #pleasegodnorobriggle

For as technically skilled as this criminal was in making bombs, he was a complete novice at criminality. Thankfully, he was dim enough to take his cellphone with him on his deliveries and assume that in 2018, FedEx wouldn't have decent surveillance equipment in its stores. Looking at that picture, a guy bringing in boxes *wearing white gloves* in a city where somebody is mailing bombs would be a give away to me.

He wasn't ready for prime time. You could tell the game was too fast for him. He was put in some crap spots too by the coaching staff. Starting a game in a playoff run, in place of the benched starter, a snow game, and the last desperate gasp of the wild card game. Training camp will be interesting to watch because I think he'll be improved over last year, perhaps with a better plan for the offense too.

Hardwick has run his course, especially since they do the same bit for the bench team Fear the Walking Dead and they do it for Better Call Saul. However, I'll shamelessly admit to watching this show when any of the show's actresses are on. On the show, they are sans makeup, jewelry, etc but on the Talking Dead, they look amazing. Other than that, I could care less what all those special fan celebrities think about the show.

AJ and any prospective draft pick QB are lottery tickets at this juncture. Best case scenario is the Bills have two great young quarterbacks. Worst case is they are both terrible. I'm ok with the Bills drafting a QB high so long as some speculative fan/media based quarterback controversy develops the first bad game McCarron has this year. I think that sort of pressure could derail both men.
