Who scored the first TD in Buffalo Bills history? (I used to have a client who played high school ball with him.)

Yup. What else am I going to do? Some people lie, cheat, steal, beat their wives, do drugs... But what terrible thing do I do? I root for the Buffalo Bills.

Indeed. Eat your greens, gentlemen.

Lead the charge?

He wasn't mature before? Only one thing makes sense to do then. We need to fire Russ Brandon.

SUBJ: Season Ticket Member Open Practice

Email I got said it was for Season Ticket Holders only.

Yeah, I've heard that argument before, that the worst thing to happen to brain health in football was the hardshell helmet, which effectively weaponizes the head. It's interesting, for sure...

Yes, but the thing is... The trolling, numbskullery and antagonism here seemed to have a massive uptick on or around March 2, 2017.

When trying to read BBMB, I felt like a cat chasing laser beams. It was such a disorganized, hot mess. And I recall signatures longer than most posts, with all different font sizes and colors. Was the design team all middle school-aged girls? Some don't like one 37-page thread, but the rest of us don't like 37 one-page threads. TSW was always a place for more (relatively) intelligent and sober (ha!) discourse. Some here can actually find a few complete sentences without a flashlight.

Lessens the crashing against the outside of your head, yes. There's a second crash that takes place inside your skull when your head stops but your brain keeps going. I'm not sure any helmet will really help with that. But I am also not a scientist, and hope that they have figured something out here.

It will be interesting to see if they help. No helmet will stop the brain from crashing into the inside of the skull.

Old Time TSWers HATE BBMBers for inflating their post count using this ONE WEIRD TRICK.

Don't even bother. Concepts like a "search firm" and "pre-interview screening" would probably make his head literally explode in a pink cloud of bone shards and grey matter.

Oof, I can't even imagine what I'd do in that situation. "Complete mental breakdown" comes to mind.

Good luck with that, I hope the Pegulas pay attention. Because after the first two-score loss, TSW and "Dom from Tonawanda" on WGR will be in full meltdown mode.

Hey look, it's a PPP discussion on the football board again. All I know is, after a decade in NC, we moved right back to WNY. Property taxes may be lower, but you make up the difference in other ways. Car taxes, dog taxes, sales taxes. Oh, and if we wanted to send our kids to decent public schools, we had to move to a town with (surprise!) higher property taxes. Private school tuition down there cost way more than the property tax difference up here.

He tripped and fell and landed on a backup from Michigan and a failed Browns/Jets head coach that somehow, miraculously became two of the greatest ever. Of course he looks like a genius in retrospect.

No doubt. I saw him chuck the ball 60 yards, flat footed at training camp. It was a sight.

Yeah, but wasn't the quote more like "Russ is part of the organization, I'll be getting input from people all over the organization"?

Right, so that's the "marketing" piece everyone always talks about. He's concerned with getting butts in seats. Seems like that's working well. I'm just trying to understand his connection to the product on the field.

That name sounds like some kind of food poisoning bug. Colt Lyerla? I'd like to introduce you to my good friend Sal Monella.

Can anyone explain to me what Brandon's job actually entails, and how it impacts winning? Serious questions, I'd like to know. I hear a lot about him, good and bad, but I'm not sure what he actually does.

So if the issue is profiteering, then yeah, maybe the Broncos are keeping the money in house. OK, I guess? But if the issue is keeping "real fans" from being able to get their own season tickets, then the beef should be with these faceless companies. But it's much easier to pin that beef on one scapegoat lying about his illness. And that's my problem with the whole thing. Not the facts, but how it's being presented. The papers don't want to write the real story here and piss off the team/league/sponsors/partners, so it's much easier to write the "LOL, f*ck this one guy and his fake illness, right?!" story. Like Kirby said, it's a messy curtain to look behind.
