Because Tom Brady* is the Darth Maul of quarterbacks, Bill Bellichick* is the Darth Vader of head coaches, and Robert Kraft* is the Emperor Palpatine of NFL owners. So, naked Palpatine in an utterly humiliating video which will be edited into ruthlessly hilarious memes right at the very end of the Evil Emperor's dominance in the AFCE. Word.

I've been fairly nonplussed by this whole thing for the most part. But now, I'm ashamed to say, I can't wait for the memes that will inevitably ensue featuring this footage. I almost feel sorry for Kraft. Almost.

It was about 17 years ago that I came onto this website, and thought, "gosh, these guys really love being Bills fans. I think I'll jump on that wagon..."

Ya'know... you hear we signed a guy-- never heard of him-- then you see: He was a Patriot*! He must be good!!! But, the truth is: They didn't use him a whole lot. A lot of Bills have gone to the Pats* and excelled. Not so much the other way around. I remain skeptical.

Weirdly, I'm a little nervous about Mills leaving. I don't see McD moving Nsekhe from the left side. Sirles is terrible. So, who is a better RT: Waddle, McDermott, or Mills?

I don't know if this has been discussed in this thread already, but I wonder if Beane/McD are thinking about moving Dawkings to LG, and Nsekhe at LT?

It's been snowing in the mountains around Los Angeles this winter, and it has been unseasonably cold. Snow levels have been as low a 2,000 feet. He's probably going to the Chargers.

I'll believe it when I see it. Rather have Fred Ex.

I worked on some content for the ESPYs last year, and got to meet him. He seemed weirdly suspicious of my Bills hat, but he shook my hand. I loved him as a Bill. I remember watching him full-on sprint down the sideline to block a corner (which he did) for another WR-- I don't remember the game, or the other WR. But, I do remember the effort, and speed.

If he becomes a Bill, I will embrace him, and love him, just as I have all players when they have worn a Bills uniform (except for Nate Peterman, of course).

I love Vegas.

Carr going to the Pats* is a pretty interesting concept...

I'm a little disappointed with this. The thing I remember the most about Carr is him literally screaming at the camera, after a win, something about JESUS CHRIST!!!, and something about Christ being a big fan of his, or some such malarkey. The astonishing arrogance of the concept that the SON OF GOD would be a fan of his, over another team, due to some conceited idea that he was more righteous was utterly lost on him. The idea of him getting shipped off to Las Vegas was hilarious to me. Oh well...

I live in Los Angeles, and when the Rams moved here, I really tried to make them a second team that I would root for (AFTER the Bills, of course). I joined a few fan forum sites (all of which suck, compared to this one), and tried to engage with some of the fans. And, man, it totally backfired. The level of discourse between the fans was childish, and combative. A very low percentage of fans had any sort of advanced football knowledge, and most of those who did were usually jerks about it. If you think that being a Bills fan has engrained a sense of bitterness, and pessimism into your soul, you should meet a Rams fan. Seriously, they made the Super Bowl, and they're still whining! So now, outside of our division, there is no team that I want to see lose more than the Rams. I don't want to feel that way-- I just can't help it.

He would have replaced the Gatorade with Koolaid.

Are there actual allegations of sex trafficking, or is that just conjecture?

The bright side to this, bearing in mind that I live in Los Angeles, is that there's going to be very little talk about this crap show at work tomorrow.

At least it wasn't overtime.

Oh God, please don't let this game go into overtime...

I've lived in Los Angeles since '91 (born and raised in Rochester). I tried to sorta get on board the Rams train as a second favorite team. I tried. Couldn't do it.

I can't remember where, but I read somewhere that he has some sports/fitness line of some sort of snake oil all lined up to launch when he wins his next ring, and that he will retire at that point. I think he should come out with a cologne called "Asterisk." Anyway, Imagine if Brady retires, and Miami, and NYJ both have new HCs? We could, at last, be playing for the division, instead of endlessly chasing a wild card.

Sirles is terrible.

That's a little premature. But, if it happens, maybe Brady*/Bellichick* retire?Then, with all three other AFCE teams with new coaches, the Bills find themselves on top of the division.
