I wonder if they’ll make them in each team’s colors and replicate the logos on the sides?

Troy Franklin worries me a lot as the Bills first pick. Now I don’t watch enough college football to make educated analysis of who are the best players to draft. But I do read and listen to many of the so-called experts this time of year. One of my favorite guys is Joe Marino of the Locked On Bills podcast. This is what he said about Troy Franklin, “He plays small. I think he’s going to get beat up at the NFL level.” Whatever wide receiver Buffalo picks in this draft I just hope it’s a guy with great upside. Franklin would be pretty far down on my list.

I think Shavers is a dark horse to make the final roster. Mainly because he was considered the best gunner in the nation his last year in college (see the tweet below). With the changes to the return game, and with some longtime Bills ST players gone, I think he gets a real look. MeRk on X: "I’ll be blunt, Tyrell Shavers is an elite special teams player and was the best gunner I watched all of last year, and it wasn’t close…at all…great add as a UDFA #BillsMafia https://t.co/RoTSAgUsVd" / X (twitter.com)

I may have shared this story before, but it seems appropriate to do here again now. I am the Director of Tourism for a major hotel in Niagara Falls, Ontario. In the early 2000s, OJ stayed with us for a couple of weeks. It was in the timeframe after the “Trial of the Century,” but before the sports paraphernalia trial, that would eventually send him to prison. We had a lobby bar and OJ would come down every morning and hold court for a couple of hours. Now I have seen countless numbers of celebrities at the hotel in my 23 years of service. Almost all of them wear hats and sunglasses and keep moving to avoid unnecessary interaction with the public. OJ, on the other hand, would come down each morning and do what can only be described as preening. He would strut up and down the lobby to make sure that as many people as possible saw him. Then he would sit at a prominent table and converse with, and sign autographs for, anyone that dropped in. If people had nothing to sign, he would sign a cocktail napkin. I also found that he was polarizing with the guests of the hotel. Half were delighted to see him and half were disgusted that we would even allow him to stay there. Not sure what that says about him, but I can tell you that it is unique in all of the celebrities that I have encountered.

Bills fans looking in their closet for a jersey of a player still on the team.

Tom was one of my favorite posters to this forum. Always considerate, kind and often insightful - he was a Bills fan’s Bills fan. Please accept my condolences. I hope the moments you and Tom shared will bring you comfort at this difficult time.

Teams essentially trade backup QBs. https://www.wtae.com/article/steelers-kyle-allen/60297540

Not a band, but could you imagine walking into a club and running into this group? Anne Murray with John Lennon, Harry Nilsson, Alice Cooper and Micky Dolenz at the Troubadour club in Hollywood, 1973.

Once upon a time I was falling in love, but now I'm only falling apart. There's nothing I can do, I totally pissed in a shark

Love that DaQuan is the one breaking the news. He’s been championing the signing of his Buddy for some days now. Huge upgrade to the D-line if it comes to pass.
