Report: bills wanted to draft Wilson/Prescott
machine gun kelly replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Thanks BM. Another example of how Nix and Whaley screwed the pooch again, and again. I can live with us passing on Dak, not because he’s not a good QB (he is decent), but passing on Wilson. Do our TBD friends here, can you imagine if we had Russell Wilson all these years. Think about even when we first had Hughes, and all, and I mean all the Williams producing 56 sacks in a year to have a QB as exciting as Wilson on the team. We would have been in the playoffs a bunch of times, and even knuckleheads like Maroon and Wrex would have led to more victories. I’m not sampling SB’s as Carroll for his gum chewing interviews and his GM, built solid teams. I guess the good news is Marrone wouldn’t have left having Wilson, and we would have probably Whaley still as the GM. Its easy to do the woulda, coulda, shoulda, but we now have Allen, a fantastically talented team, McD, and his staff, and this certain GM that put together a greatly talented team. -
Josh Allen year 3 comparisons
machine gun kelly replied to rayray808's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
GB, you know I respect you’re opinions, and maybe you’re right, but I’m a little more optimistic. I can see 63-65% completion, you’re yardage is probably right and Allen’s TDs. I’m more bullish on Moss. After watching those Utah games (yes I’m a dork and actually watched some of his games) I think he will be effective. He did 4755 all purpose yards in his four years at Utah. I know NFL defenses are bigger, faster, stronger, but he should pleasantly surprised a lot of people. My only concern for him is his knees. I’m hopeful if Motor has the bulk of the carries, it will preserve Moss that much longer. -
NFL will allow social justice decals on helmets
machine gun kelly replied to Greg S's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Does it really matter, meaning if this peaceful representation is a step, ok. Like another cause that is close to me some groups get overly discriminated, but absolutely some persons have been absolutely awful, should be fired and prosecuted. I’d rather have these displays than the crazy looting. Protest peacefully, which is what this looks to be doing, and what’s the problem? I don’t see any. Unlawful protesting, bepreaking the law, and I’m not happy with that issue. You can’t justify hurting innocent Store owners with their lives, and livelihoods, because people having nothing to do with them doing horrible things. I guess it goes back to Rodney, in why can’t we all get along. He was so right on that point. Put whatever you want on a jersey if it doesn’t insight violence, just thing s have to change. What’s wrong with that. On the other Haden’s, how many of you have family and friends in law enforcement who are good people, and even put up with a lot of crap they don’t deserve. Display and who really at heart cares. For all minorities, I’m with you, but for all decent police enforcement who d9 the best you can, and really try and not see color, I’m with you too. -
Pegulas to buy energy business
machine gun kelly replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in Off the Wall Archives
Greg, I’m not an NHL guy, but enough of my family and friends are so that was my reasoning. I do understand the issues of the Sabres and have heard the stories about employees, but not my concern. I hope for those I care about the Sabres turn it around like the way they have done a great job in the Bills. Yes, Wrex was a monster mistake, but they have been on point since with this entire group from Beane, McD, and al of the subordinates. -

machine gun kelly replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in Off the Wall Archives
Absolutely. It’s a shrewd move. Keep makin the donuts Terry. Easiest way for us to keep the Bills and Sabres in Buffalo. Not a big hockey guy, but I know you guys are so glad the culture of these teams here continues. -
Cool story Donuts. We didn’t have a milk man growing up in Hamburg, but when I tell people this, they laugh or are at least surprised. We had a vending machine half a block away on South Park Ave. a milk machine. You put you’re 50 cents in and an old cardboard quart of milk came out. In the winter it was always frozen (shocker). I hated it as I was the youngest which otherwise means indentured servant, so you get done playing sports with you’re friends, then finish you’re hw., and Dad barking “we need milk for coffee in the morning”. You put all that crap back on in 15 degree weather, and go down before you can watch a rerun of the Brady Bunch or Star Trek on Channel 29.

My son asked me the other day what a Walkman was, and did I have one. I threw a pretzel at him and called him a wisears. He’s 21 and was trying to tweak me. My boys especially can be wisearses. Reminds me of you and, Huds, Ridge and so on. They are actually pretty funny kids. They look up crap we grew up with and say dad remember 8 tracks, vcrs, etc. their way of letting me know in their eyes I’m old. It’s actually pretty funny. My typical response other than an occasional snack thrown at them is to tell them using Belicheck’s line, go insta, snap, twit something. Cue the Roll eyes By my sons. At least my daughter is still sweet.

Reminds me of the old days when many of us were kids with the Superstars. Remember when Gasteneu and LT had the shoulder press contest, the obstacle course with Lynn Swan and others. I know they make too much $, but that was fun in the off season when I was a little tike. Personally, I’d rather have this vs. a Pro Bowl. The QB’s could do a throw off for distance and then accuracy, athletic competition for several other players, and so on. Make it two weeks after the SB so even the players on the teams who are in it can have fun too. Make it a big charity thing, and the MFL machine can pump it up on prime time. How fun would that be. Putting Lamar up in a dash against some of the D Backs and WRS. Some type of weightlifting for the big dudes, and so on.

Jets, Giants, Rutgers no fans this year
machine gun kelly replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Putin, amen. It’s a pipe dream To think we’ll have fans in the stands. If we still have a season and do well, is to so bad we watch from our homes. Not living in Buffalo, I’m happy to pay for the ticket and enjoy it with my boys and Dad. -
Training Camp countdown and previews
machine gun kelly replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not a practical joke, just a serious question, the Bucs and a few other teams are delaying bringing in their rookies until later this week. So, has anyone heard whether as of yesterday the Bills rookies are still coming in today to get tested. I thought they were doing the COVID testing, and then getting their physicals. I heard the QB’s and injured players were allowed in the building Thursday. I assume everyone else by next Monday. They still need to get this freakin plan done. I’m betting they might break up practices into two groups, ie. starters in the am, and back ups in the pm, and use both locker rooms to maintain spacing. -

machine gun kelly replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It’s all but assured the Bucs aren’t going to have fans either. They stopped selling tickets a couple of weeks ago, and with the spike, it’s just a matter of time before the three FL teams close down their stadiums. -
Wegmans not interested in stadium naming rights
machine gun kelly replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Zoidster, cool name and great idea, but they posted losses of $1 bil. In 2018, $863 mil. In 2019, and have bank note owed in 2024-25 of $3.6 bil. I’m sure they eventually will be fine and make an interesting product, but do they want an additional spend of $4 mil/yr. when economists have reported the advertising does not equate to increased sales by renaming a stadium. That’s why a monster company that sells everywhere like several such as Target, Amazon, etc. can absorb the cost and not work up a sweat. Wegman’s as many know is a privately held company in an industry that has razor thin margins. They may be worth $9.2 bil., but they run their company somewhat lean. They are a great company to work for as reported by Forbes. -
My 2014 NFL Draft Evals - Revisited!
machine gun kelly replied to GunnerBill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
GB, pretty cool. I don’t know if you ever listen in one of their off season series, but the Blitz does a look back at drafts from three years ago, and then evaluates hits, vs. misses. It’s fun to see in retrospect as they go division by division, and evaluate teams entire draft. I kind of like it. Mark Dominic kind of captains this series and he’s a pretty good talent evaluator. -
League agrees to no preseason games
machine gun kelly replied to DBilz2500's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
In the future, post vaccine if that happens will bring back at least two pre-season games as the owners make almost all profit from it. Players don’t game checks, just a stipend. I’d be fine in the future with just competitive practices to evaluate players. -
Wegmans not interested in stadium naming rights
machine gun kelly replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Big Gun, no arguments the names are cool, but not the NFL. That’s why if you do a quick search of a,l the NFL stadiums, none are after a company promoting alcohol. Hockey and MLB have different rules. Personally, I think it’s silly, but they haven’t come around yet. They probably will as they loosened up on the betting thing, so it would make sense beer companies will eventually be able to get in on naming rights. Once they do, Anheiser Busch, Coors, and so on will jump on it. -

machine gun kelly replied to DBilz2500's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I expected no preseason. $ maker although less, but still almost all profit for the owners. Next step is daily testing, but to protect them they will force the players into the new helmet, etc. -
Wegmans not interested in stadium naming rights
machine gun kelly replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So here’s another idea for a corporate giant as I looked up the others. Target is a monster and can easily absorb $4 mil./yr. These companies like Amazon and Target can use as advertising, and is not a big deal to them. Smaller companies like Wegmans are not going to absorb this expenditure. I bet they are looking at exactly that type of company or BP, Exxon, and so on.
