Fair point. I care about effort, you care about tanking a whole season based not on an Andrew Luck, but on "intrigue." Good luck with that.

Nothing grossed me out more than that "embrace the tank" horsesh#t with Sabres fans last year (one can only hope the players were actually trying out there). And tank for WHO? Get out of here with that noise.

Get well, Bill! God knows we need some calm, rational posts around here right about now!

I have a feeling this is going to be a long, cold afternoon.

What the hell was that foul for? Couldn't hear in the stadium.

His threads are about the only enjoyable thing on these boards after a loss. Get well Bill!

Yeah, I bet that will be the issue if anything. Demand on the bandwidth. Too bad we have to be the guinea pigs.

If we don't get Mario 10 targets per game, Rogue Dogue Whaley needs to GO.

And a rant related to a lot larger issues in our country than just football. : /

And that's the key right there. Ain't nobody got time for nuance!

While he's not wrong, there's a crowd that has had it out for him since the beginning, and this will do nothing to help him with that particular audience.

I like the blue on blue. Does any other team ever wear that combo?

Thanks for pointing this out. I'm guessing I'm one of the few TBDers that actually has some background in broadcasting. Play by play in particular is so incredibly difficult, I just have to laugh at some of these criticisms. I should point out I've never done play by play in my life, but have friends that do. You made a very good point that there is a constant litany of information being thrown at the announcer both in their eyes and ears that they have to selective take in, and distill cogently out of their mouths.

It's Bleacher Report, the toilet stall wall of sports websites. You or I could submit an article naming ourselves as the dark horse candidates to replace Rogue Dogue.

So who else was certain they were watching three NFL starters this summer at Fisher?

Hey look, it's the guy who has to make everything liberal/conservative. Big Tuna equated "Japs" and "Orientals" live on camera while saying "all due respect." That's idiocy.

Is he history's greatest monster? Of course not. He's just an ass.

LOL "new narrative." Bill Parcells wasn't out blasting wildlife with Teddy Roosevelt. He's a very smart, very public figure alive today who chose to blather on about orientals and japs in front of a hot mic. LOL "whitewashing history." That's my favorite part! You could easily make the point he wanted to make, while being historically accurate, and refer to "kamikaze" plays. Just because his worldview was formed in the 1940s doesn't make it OK.

Yes. Yes he is. To wit:

I've heard of him! GIT ER DOUG!

Obviously.

Pretty sure I saw a graphic somewhere that the Bills put up. I believe the previous record was 74 yds, shared by Flutie and Fitz. Tyrod had 76. EDIT: Here it is: https://twitter.com/buffalobills/status/653718045567746049

When it came to the blackout rules, yes. But not automatically when it comes to picking up these "special" broadcasts.

Source? All indications up to this point have been that the game will only be carried in the BUF and JAX markets.
