Might have to get a Allen jersey. I’m really excited for the kid.
Last jersey I bought was a Stevie Johnson jersey while at St Johns Fisher training camp. It was a bit of a disappointment, the jersey and the purchase experience.
I went into the temporary store they had set up, wanted to buy a jersey, just didn’t know who. Looked around, most of the team was made up of guys I wasn’t to sure would be around for the long term (I think this would have been around 2011-2013), so I asked an employee where some of the older player jerseys were. He points to a rack and says over there, I checked it out, it was a clearance rack, guys no longer on the team like Lynch, Whitner, etc. So I went back to the same kid, said I was actually looking for players like Kelly, Thurman, Andre, Bruce, etc...his response, “I don’t know who they are”.
I almost cried. Has it really been that long? Am I really that old?
Needless to say, Johnson was traded away a year or two later, and the jersey hasn’t seen the light of day since.

I had the same issue for years. I ended up setting up a Slingbox in a apartment I had in Syracuse (work in Syracuse, lived in southern PA).
If you will have a place in NY while in FL, I would recommend a Slingbox or Plex setup.
Both options would be setup in NY with a antenna, then you would watch the games via the Plex or Slingbox app on a phone or Appletv/Roku/Fire. You have to get the setup right, to ensure you have no issues while away.
Either option has some upfront cost and setup. I don’t know the legality of doing this, I’m sure the NFL fine print probably says you can’t do it, but would they ever do anything about it, I doubt it. It’s not like it’s being broadcast to a large audience like some of this online feeds.

Last night was our work draft. I was only able to pick for the first 7 rounds, as I was at work, I had Yahoo make the rest of my picks. For some reason, yahoo decided that I needed 3 QBs, 2 Defenses, and 1 Kicker, so right now, my bench comprises of only 1 WR and 0 RBs. I need help to fix this!!! How can I? Please help!!!!
League is 10 teams, .5 PPR, 1pt First Downs. 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 FLEX (R/W/T), 1 K, 1 Def, 4 Bench
I picked 2nd
Rd 1 Le'Veon Bell
Rd 2 Keenan Allen
Rd 3 Rob Gronkowski
Rd 4 Kenyan Drake
Rd 5 JuJu Smith-Schuster
Rd 6 Marvin Jones Jr
Rd 7 Royce Freeman
Rd 8 Matthew Stafford
Rd 9 Kirk Cousins
Rd 10 Ben Roethlisberger
Rd 11 Baltimore
Rd 12 New Orleans
Rd 13 Karrison Butker
So currently my Yahoo optimized lineup is:
QB Stafford
WR Allen
WR Smith-Schuster
RB Bell
RB Drake
TE Gronk
FLEX Jones Jr
K Butler
DEF Baltimore
I probably need to add a WR and RB to my bench. Who should I cut or trade (is there any value?)? 1 QB and 1 DEF I presume?
Available Free Agents are....
WRs
D. Parker, Mia
N. Agholor, Phi
P. Garcon, SF
C. Coleman, Buf
J. Doctson, Was
S. Shepard, NYG
W. Fuller V, Hou
R. Matthews, Ten
D. Moore, Car
M. Bryant, Oak
K. Benjamin, Buf
T. Locket, Sea
C. Godwin, TB
K. Golladay, Det
C. Meredith, NO
RBs
R. Penny Sea
B. Powell, NYJ
M. Mack, Ind
I. Crowell, NYJ
T. Cohen, Chi
N. Chubb, Cle
D. Foreman, Hou
A. Jones, GB
S. Ware, KC
T. Riddick, Det
G. Bernard, Cin
D. Johnson Jr, Cle
M. Breida, SF
A. Ekeler, LAC
J. Conner, Pit (should I get to handcuff Bell, in case of extended holdout?)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks

Depends on his injury settlement. He did work out with the Bills last week leading to speculation that he was cleared of his injury settlement. Havent heard anything since then.
Buffalo rumblings had a good explanation on how the injury settlement would work, they felt in the article that he wouldnt clear the settlement until after Thanksgiving. The Bills never disclosed details regarding the settlement, so we have no idea when they can sign him.
-
Hope this wasnt already posted. I know another thread is covering his arrest, but it has been closed due to inappropriate comments.
Here is the link of the TMZ coverage and video of Washingtons arrest. Dude is luck to be alive!

They discussed this on the John Murphy show. I don't remember the exact details, but I believe there is a sign and trade clause...Bills would be on the hook for a large sum of money.

Someone on here can pribably explain better than I

I was in basic training. Guys in my dorm were able to get the score from one of our brother flights (smuggled radio from what I understand). They were teasing me with the score the entire first half. When the Bills came back, I didn't believe them. It wasn't until I graduated a few weeks later that I found out what happened.
Go Bills!

The "cross flex" mechanism will serve a similar purpose. Select games can be flexed between CBS and FOX. In the past, a game with two NFC teams had to be on FOX and a game with two AFC teams had to be on CBS. Now, the league can theoretically move an all-NFC game to CBS or an all-AFC game to FOX in select cases. This will help balance out the television schedule, especially in a week where one network has all the most intriguing games. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000343369/article/2014-nfl-schedule-flex-games-can-now-start-in-week-5
Looks like new NFL flexing rules allows the NFL to show games on either network.
Currently Syracuse CBS feed is showing Baltimore-Dallas, Fox channel will be showing the Giants-Chicago game. That was a decision made by Fox 68 WSYT based upon popularity and overall record of the Giants vs Bills in CNY. http://www.syracuse.com/axeman/index.ssf/2016/11/fox_68_in_syracuse_will_broadcast_giants-bears_over_bills-bengals.html
Guess Buffalo Wild Wings for me!

I ended up buying tickets on stub hub, a bit pricey, but I read that getting them via Ravens site in July is difficult, as they are often sold out quickly.
Go Bills!

Most of the issues now are funding. Back in the day we did the F-16 flyovers over the Ralph from Syracuse. My understanding was those flying hours would come out of the units funds. Most of us volunteered to come in on Sunday's to do it.
Now we don't have the 16s anymore, doubt you will see our Reapers doing flyovers any time soon.
Go Bills

Taking my wife to her first football game. She is not a football fan, trying to change that. Either way, I get to go to a Bills game, a rare occurrence anymore.
We live in York Pa, plan on going to the Bills/Ravens game on 9/11. I have never been to M&T Bank Stadium. Tickets are already available in StubHub, starting at $100.
Anyone have any recommendations as far as seat locations? I'd like to keep it less that $150/seat.
How are the sight lines? I've been to the Ralph a bunch, how does it compare?
Should I wait to get seats, or should I expect prices to only climb?
Also, how hostile of an environment is it?
Thank you
Go Bills!!!

I'm going to throw hands with the next idiot who tells me Tyrod's the guy. Being better than EH isn't a qualification for anything.
Not saying he is the future, but he certainly isn't the reason for this loss. 90% of this goes on D and coaching.
-
What does losing today do to the Bills playoff hopes?
Bills still in it with 6 loses by Steelers, Jets, Chiefs, Golden State Warriors, and Mets.
-
Bills won't win another game this season.
Rex throwing in towel to get Whaley fired. Will blame this on personnel, even though we all know coaching is mostly to blame.
-
So. As it stands, you'd been insane to re-up your season tickets for this garbage. But the Bills will make some HUGE offseason signing of a superstar who is 90% past their prime, but fans know/love. The cycle will continue. And I'll never see a SB in my lifetime.
Tebow, Tebow, Tebow!!!!!!

I drafted Clay this year, but had to drop him for week 1. He's still available. I'm holding several players that I think could come along during the season, but it's gonna take some time. I think Clay can be a very good fantasy play some weeks. Anyway, I need to find a spot for him. I have Tennessee D, I plan on dropping them after this week, think I will start them this week agains Cleveland.

Demerius Thomas

I took the trade. Wilson has a better matchup this weekend compared to Newton.
Had my first loss this weekend...partly due to Sanu, I started him over Sanders...I think Sanu's numbers will continue to trend low with AJ Green back.
I will look to see if I can find a better option at RB. Miller and Bernard have been a little hit or miss so far.
Keeper league, need help
in Fantasy Football
Posted · Edited by gflande1
I’m in a work fantasy football league. I never really take it too seriously, just enough to keep me interested. This year, I want to do a better job.
Anyway, first thing I need help with is who I should designate as my keeper. I’ll know the draft order before I need to make my selection. Don’t know if that’s normal or not. Our league is 10 teams PPR. As you can see, I don’t have much to choose from, just worried about keeping Bell (especially if I end up with a top 6 pick) for my first pick. He won’t have the OL he had in Pitt.
I am leaning toward either Juju or Mack. Juju would only cost me my Fifth, Mack would cost me my last pick.
Thanks
