  1. Ragland and Henderson aren't in "playing" shape. You need camp and real playing time to do that. It's why Shaq Lawson looks completely different from how he looked last year. I'd be patient with both men. They will improve with more playing time.
  2. Football reminds me a lot of cigarette smoking. Everyone did it and permitted it until the health concerns and dangers became part of the mainstream conversation.
  3. I agree that the issue is the floor gasket and the flange plate. If there is a leak, you won't necessarily see it as it's leaking into the floor. This requires immediate attention IMO. New toilet gets a new gasket, and preferably one of the new rubber ones. In a toilet install, it's crucial to seat the toilet slowly and carefully over this gasket.
  4. Lots of relatives in Texas and I'm a Spurs fan so I've seen a good bit. My recommendation is to visit Texas in the winter. December/January it's quite pleasant.
  5. The Bills and Patriots having identical records when they meet for the first time this upcoming season.
  6. He won't last the season in San Diego. Bad vibes already.
  7. It's better than the "Carolina Shag" station they have on presently. Although Yacht Rock and Carolina Shag aren't my favorites, I do like that Sirius XM puts together oddball stations like this to expand horizons.
  8. I'm convinced Gruden and Cowher will negotiate every contract for the rest of their lives with the "well, I could always go back to coaching you know...." Who was a successful coach that came back after a long hiatus? Dick Vermeil with the Rams? I can't think of anyone else.
  9. I have zero. I've worked for two employers where they were expressly prohibited. I agree that it seems everyone has them these days.
  10. Prostitution is the last frontier of "vice" that states can make legal, and therefore, tax. Given that several states, including PA, are in deep, deep trouble with pensions and budgets, I don't think the legalization of prostitution is a far-fetched idea.
  11. I don't think it's been mentioned but my vote is for: All British comedy. Benny Hill, Mr. Bean, the ladies from Absolutely Fabulous - never understood it's appeal.
  12. As I have gotten older, the more I've enjoyed listening to it. I've had more exposure to it due to things like Pandora, satellite radio and to a degree, movies. I started listening to Claude Debussy more after Ocean's 11 used "Clair de Lune" and started listening more to Beethoven due to John McTiernan's use of his work in his Die Hard films (1 and 3).
  13. NFL: The Chargers interim "small" stadium at the Stub Hub Center is overwhelmingly popular with fans and the Chargers pull out of their original plans to be co-tenants with the Rams in Inglewood. They will build their own small stadium in...San Diego. Bills: The Bills and Patriots will have identical records on Saturday, December 2, 2017.
  14. Phil Jackson wasn't an intelligent coach nor executive. Intelligent people adapt to changing circumstances and times. He was out there hustling the Triangle Offense *still* despite it being figured out in the late 90s.
  15. The Bleacher Report "article" ignores the financial fact that the Buffalo Bills "business" can not afford the deliberate tanking of a season. He's looking at it strictly from a football perspective and not taking into consideration the finances of the business as a whole. Even with a string of decent 7-9 and 8-8 seasons, the Bills are way way way down in league revenue, not to mention profit. A tank season more than likely lowers revenue even more, and requires more investment from the owners, a significant rise in ticket prices or cutback in non-football related expenditures. Or all three. What's the first rule of being wealthy? Always spend somebody else's money first.
  16. I'd go for the two safeties - Graham at SS AND Byrd at FS - and set them up as Team 1B at the position. The safeties are going to get a ton of work in this defense.
  17. Always wondered if the United States should change the design of the flag every so often like professional sports teams do. Have two or three designs using the same colors, put it on the ballot on a Presidential Election year. The last time the design of the flag looked any different was all the way back in 1890. Would people lose their minds over the flag design? Probably.
  18. This is how the civil war starts. These sorts of events. It's been fanned in an era where it's "ok" to show a beheaded president and it's "ok" to have a play about his assassination. Where it's ok to show up at a town hall meeting and scream, unhinged, at your elected official. This is all on top of the already percolating anger in most parts of the country at stagnant wages, little job growth, the expense of healthcare, rising debt. You know that some "right" loon is already plotting a response to this. Then the left will have to respond with something bigger. Once that's happened, you'll start having people showing up to town halls and protests heavily armed, looking for a fight. Then you'll have Americans firing on Americans with police officers stuck in between. Now you'd think that the political parties and the media would see how this all plays out but they will only fan the flames.
  19. Sammy Watkins. If he's injured in camp, he won't be a Bill come September.
  20. Should have never been cut in the first place. Come regular season, the team was devoid of leadership that year and it showed.
  21. It'd never happen but I'd love for the Bills to troll the fans (or delight them) by having a season ticket ad campaign that'd have: A picture of George Seifert relaxing, reading a paper at the Buffalo airport; A picture of Mario Williams and Buddy Nix enjoying dinner at Tempo with a picture of another guest in the background with his finger on a laptop that'd represent the F5 frenzy; A picture of Rob Johnson and Doug Flutie doing something exactly alike in the picture to follow the RJ=DF? conversations; Wade holding a headset but not actually wearing it; And some of the other conversations of lore on here that I'm forgetting.
  22. My guess is if there is a contract between the Bills and Maclin, it will be a 1 year "prove it" kind of deal similar to what Jeffrey did with the Eagles and bet on himself for 2018 free agency.
  23. Wade Phillips. His firing laid the foundation for the last 17 years, starting with Donahoe, Greggo, the release of the Big Three, Ted Washington and Pat Williams. If Wade had stayed after the MCM, it would have been an entirely different decade of Bills football.
  24. This guy has been a lost soul since his dad passed. He really needs to get out of Florida and away from the "lifestyle."
