Having first met him when he was a high school freshman at Bayside, nobody is pulling for EJ more than me. And it's true the OL needs to do what they can to keep the DL's hands down. But it's also true the QB has some responsibility to avoid batted-down passes such as changing delivery, stepping to one side or another, or moving to another target. This pissing contest about blaming the OL or the QB is inane.

But in your OP you said you were "usually an ESPN defender."

Letting Tuel have a legit WR to throw to? Maybe Allowing Woods to move back and forth to the slot to evaluate him in those roles as the Buffalo Rumblings article hypothesizes? Maybe. Hagen ahead of Woods on the depth chart? Doubtful. With 4 preseason games to go, does any of it really matter right now? Nah.

Given your penchant for the historical stuff I would've thought '88 - as small as it was - would've been a class you liked. (Ditka, Ham, Biletnikoff & Halas) Of course, we're picking nits here. Some classes are clearly better than others but all of these HOF guys were pretty damn good.

Interesting that you have Hogan as the 3rd WR... Sounds like he's been having a good camp so far. Thanks Astro - your reports are always appreciated!

He offered a legal opinion, not legal knowledge. Your knowledge, however, is incorrect. Texas A&M were notified the mark was registered in 1990. In the 69 years since it was first used and became a registered mark, it became a common phrase used in multiple sports and at all levels of competition. So he was right, they very well could lose the mark if an infringement claim was adjudicated.

The Sabres then and the Bills now are two entirely different creatures. Sabres had an aging ineffective core that Darcy & TPegs tried to improve (or prop up?). Since then, the Sabres have jettisoned pretty much everything old and are on a wholesale rebuild. They are acquiring dynamic play makers, have a well-respected coach, and a progressive - and aggressive - front office in place. Put another way, the Bills are a couple years ahead of where the Sabres are now. You don't know that's what happened.

I don't think it's personal, most Bills fans I know love having our friends come down from Canada to hang out, joke about the Leafs and Sabres, and cheer the Bills. And while most Canadians don't want to see the team in TO, a consortium of executives from MLSE & Rogers maneuvering ought to make any Bills fan - Canadian or American - more than little nervous.

Think of a regular guy telling one of his buddies at the bar "You'd have to pay me to drink Genny Cream Ale." Or did you not infer from the context that he was likely joking while saying it?

I took it as "You'd have to pay me to support them." In other words, he's not turning his back on Bflo, he's getting Bflo's back.

Are you asking us to believe that you and a crystal ball-owning NFL owner were just chilling one day and he spilled the beans?

No, this is perfect. The lease prevents the Bills from negotiating with any group with intentions to move the club. The guy handling their feasibility study has said S Ontario and WNY were being considered and another source said 3 sites in/around the GTA. If that's not evidence they intend to move the franchise, I don't know what is.

Thurman and Blackmon both went to Oklahoma State. Here's what he said: Thurman Thomas ‏@thurmanthomas 5m I tried to talk to the young man, but the #Jags said they had it under control... Oh well.. #PositiveThoughts

That just happened.

Millions will learn of the sale but that doesn't mean they'll be impacted. And again, it's one person in the community. But feel free to share your letter to the editor here since it's the only place it will be published.

I'm not sure any editor would publish a letter directed at one person regarding an issue that has absolutely no impact on the community his paper serves. A letter about the town's property tax maybe, but a letter begging one person to sell a remotely located asset to one party over another? I just don't see it happening.

Thad Brown ‏@thadbrown7 3m Watkins cant get free from Graham. Asks 'howd you know I was goin out?' Graham advises. Next time up Watkins burns Leodis deep #billsmafia

Because this stuff's important: GIFF ‏@VPGIFF 53s Anthony Dixon the 1st to make a donation to the port o potty..looks like a #2 considering the time involved. Manuel rips 20 yard outs...

GIFF ‏@VPGIFF 2m Marrone gives it to Cyrus K. Do it again! #intensedrills

Kevin Oklobzija ‏@kevinoDandC 49s Oddly, there has been no Bon Jovi yet from the #Bills training camp DJ. #BillsWatch+ GIFF ‏@VPGIFF 4m Warm up and stretching to Drake. Dustin Hopkins wears socks to his shorts...wait...those are his legs. get some sun Hopkins.

Is that an unintentional backhanded compliment or what!

Agreed - good write up!

That's the bottom line. It's not about which sport is more popular, it's about the station getting guaranteed revenue while not having to pay to produce a program.

The CBA prohibits those sorts of mandatory programs. Teams give players nutritional and workout info. Would a player be wise to follow them? Probably. But not all think they need to.
