I feel like some sports researchers need to do some sort of study on Erie!

When I have gone west, I have made some very out of the way excursions to hit up in and out. Once ate lunch there at an Arizona one at 10:30 am, when it opened, since it was my only chance before heading to sedona. Another time in LA, I walked like 3 miles through a sketchy neighborhood to one.

to me, Erie is the most fascinating city. It is equidistant between cleveland, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh. I remember stopping at a sports bar there, and the jersey splits looked almost 1/3rd for each team.

I am with you. It’s one thing if he is like 3 years into a really bad deal. He is 1 year into a very fair market deal. If he wanted to “bet on himself,” then just sign 1 year deals. He assumed the risk of potentially being underpaid when he agreed to the security of a longer term deal.

I feel very unAmerican by saying this, but going back to the dream team, I love when USA bball gets beat. Now, it's more of a matter of rooting against any team that has Kevin Durant on it. That said, I think Durant will play a lot better after he recruits four hall of famers to play along side of him.

If you look close enough at any QB, many of them do similar things pre-snap. There are some games where I can tell right away from the pre-snap body language or body position whether it is a handoff or not.

I have the same ugly Spikes jersey. I thought that was going to be the surest bet of a jersey, and it was a total fail.

I own two Rob Johnson jerseys (along with two RJ t-shirts). Some might question my judgment in evaluating QB talent.

i don’t understand why they can’t make an exception for Sunday ticket. No blackouts if you buy Sunday ticket. Last year I was near Yellowstone for the Bills/Rams game. I fired up my iPad to watch on Sunday ticket and it was blacked out— because apparently they show Bills games in Wyoming due to Josh Allen. I had no local TV access, so had to scramble to get a free trial of gamepass, avoid media, and watch the game after it was played.

age. Sanders is like 35, and if the younger guys really shine— like Hodgins, Gentry, McKenzie, and Stevenson— it’s going to be tough to keep an aging vet over these younger guys. my gut feel too is that Sanders is like right on the edge of jumping the shark. Will be curious what he looks like on camp.

This may be a really bad take-- but I think the surprise WR cut (if there is one) will be E. Sanders.

For those knocking Buffalo as a city for the franchise, those were different times. Lamar Hunt specifically targeted Buffalo. There was already a strong tradition of pro football in the city and region. It was the 20th largest city in the country in 1960, and was still an industrial powerhouse up until that time. so, yeah, Wilson bought a team in Buffalo, but it was a great investment in a strategic market.

I was shocked by how good that is. I think it made it onto its regular menu now.

I just did a Wendy’s run. Fries were average. But you really can’t beat their $4/4 and 5/$5 deals. Our family of five just ate for like $16.

Pigeons and geese.

i don’t get the DTV strategy. I called last year and got Sunday Ticket for free. This was even after they knocked my monthly fee (after all taxes and fees and equipment charges) down to $50 per month.

I hear what you are saying. But these articles always pop up around negotiating time and I believe they are more about generating some leverage for both sides. I think the NFL probably benefits from the longevity of a very profitable partnership with DTV. And it seems like this is the one major asset that DTV brings to the table for AT&T, despite the bellyaching by AT&T. I have read articles throughout the years (mostly around negotiating time) about ESPN+, Disney, Amazon, Yahoo, dish network, some random streaming sports entity, and now Apple all interested in buying it. Maybe it will be true one day. But I guess I will believe it when I see it.

An article like this has popped up every year for the last 20 years. I don’t think DTV is going to be giving up Sunday ticket.

Cats.

I thought with gamepass you can only watch the game after it was over. Does the EU time difference basically allow you to stream it live?

agreed. Great flick. That used to be on TV all the time, but can’t recall seeing it in the last 5+ years.

now I am going to have to try that. But I have my doubts that it will stack up to the great horsey sauce!

There is no better condiment than Arby’s horsey sauce.

it reminds me of my HS tennis team showing up at Taco Bell after practice. One guy got free refills on the Pepsi, and basically “shared it” with the others who just ordered water. I saw this one time and despite how cheap I was, was not going to partake in that shadiness. relatedly, the way they justified it was that the nearby construction workers around there would go in in the morning and buy a coke, and just come back throughout the day to get refills.
