So…..you didn’t pick up on the facial recognition at the home opener a couple years ago? Cool. 😋 I kid, it seems I’ve got two straight books dealing with this creepy stuff! I’m BORING! Leave me alone! Nuthin’ to hide here….. Somebody has probably already PM’ed YOLO. If he wants back, he knows he’ll have a warm welcome. I hope it’s just a healthy break. I get that, and he deserves it. Maybe the Bills can draft the guy who becomes the best ever OSU WR in the NFL. A four time Super Bowl MVP, and first ballot HOF guy!

Even the cold people look down on those with no wallets.

I suspect you could be WR coach at LSU for a year or two and get an NFL job. You might have to show up for some practices and probably attend game days. What a CRAZY WR factory!

I suggest a deep breath. It’s wasn’t just one game. I see him as being a bit like Knox where he frustrated me, but I felt he’d be fine in time. He DOES have talent, and a new WR coach might help. I appreciate a WR coming back with a high ankle sprain because his team needed him. You can say it didn’t cause the drops, to which I reply I still have more faith in him than many. Time will tell.

I hope Yolo is smiling like Cuba Gooding, Jr as Rod Tidwell in Jerry McGuire, soaking in the love before springing up to once again entertain us all!!! Seriously, a break can be healthy, I hope that’s all it is.

That sounds………….expensive. And they will both be 31 during next season. I think we will be younger and cheaper, for what it’s worth. Older and more expensive seems out of reach given our situation.

I wish that surprised me a little more than it did. I would have no idea. Who would know? Trust your vender, hopefully.

Gabe benefits from having Josh as QB, no doubt. But he’s also hurt because we have other options like Diggs and Knox so the ball gets spread around more. Some of this will come down to circumstances and pure luck. So…..🤷‍♂️ Regardless, I want them to add someone to step in and be the clear #2 to Diggs.

Start a poll, and I will vote! Hodgins was a bit cheaper because he was taken a little later in the draft. No idea yet what the terms of the new deal are. Gabe needs a big year to earn the big paycheck, but he’s already done things Hodgins could only dream of, like 4 TD’s in a playoff game.

Wishing Hodgins all the best (in the NFC), but my vote would be Gabe all day long. I’m not giving up on him. In fact, I look for a big rebound season if he stays healthy.

We went to a cooking class at the Viking store a few years ago. About half the people there and already attended the knife skills class. I don’t know what they chopped all night, but it really makes sense. If you can prep quick and easy, the whole experience is better. That is especially true with a vegetarian now in the family. That leads to a LOT of knife work! One potential downside to the knife skills class, and I’m not sure how they handled it: at our class there was no wine until we put the knives away. That could be a deal breaker! 😋

I believe it actually said Chilean, but I could be wrong there. I’ll pay closer attention net time, but just hearing Patagonian Toothfish is making me hungry!!!

I knew the last asst was leaving, but I don’t think I’ve seen a replacement named. I wonder what is happening behind the scenes with these moves. Did he want to be with the Rams, or did Kromer not come away impressed after a year of working with him? While we are at it, when we lost Poyer and Hyde at safety, the guys behind them struggled. Not shocking that we will have a new safeties coach too. The coaching shuffle is phase #1, followed by free agency then the draft. Praying for upgrades on all levels, including coaches capable of developing our guys.

I’ve enjoyed their gigantic shrimp many times, but I looked at the frozen fish options for the first time today. We do a LOT of fish, and I’ll be going back to try some of that. I had other errands to run so didn’t grab anything frozen today, but the prices for things like sea bass and halibut (usually VERY expensive!) seemed extremely reasonable. Like $5/portion of sea bass that will cost you $36-$48 (with bok choy -why do they almost always put bok choy with sea bass?) at a restaurant.

I’ve never tried their frozen fish, but I’ll look today as I’m heading to Costco. It’s our anniversary and my wife loves yellow roses with red tips. I got them for a few years from “the best florist in Atlanta”…..and they were always sad in 24 hours and dead in 48-72 hours. The wife even went behind my back and complained resulting in replacement flowers, that also died promptly. I discovered paying ~$150 from the fancy place for lousy flowers was one more point of proof that I’m an idiot. The same roses from Costco are like $19 (and we have a collection of vases) and they last an almost 2 weeks. While I’m there I can stroll up and down the aisles and effectively have lunch, one sample at a time.

Let’s give credit where credit is due. Plenz is capable of supervising the creation of some very tasty wings. There’s even a chance he will remember the butter……

Thanks for the link and an easy to follow time line. He does move around! I admit that makes me curious. Everybody knows we need help on the OL and at WR. Most of us think in terms of adding talent in free agency and the draft. The Bills have added coaching talent with a new WR coach and a new Asst OL coach. I’ll be thrilled with any combination that leads to improved results.

Emeril was the worst, with dozens of ingredients, many of which were obscure and nearly impossible to find. Didn’t he make enough money that selling toaster ovens is beneath him?

When our oldest went to college we got him a cook book called A Man, A Can, And A Plan. Pretty doable stuff.

The dollars don’t matter. What you order matters. But nice humble brag, there.

Yes, because changing coordinators on both sides of the ball in the same offseason so often leads to Super Bowl victories. I mean, if I had a nickel for every time that happened……. The thing that impresses me the most on that resume is coaching LSU WR’s. I am NOT saying he had anything to do with developing any of them (though he WAS there with OBJ and Jarvis Landry), but that is one CRAZY WR factory at LSU! .

What kind of foods are you into? OK with chicken? Fish? Love veggies? Are you OK with red meat? I’ve got some ideas. One of the reasons I stopped cooking was people got so damn picky! Our son married a vegetarian. Her parents will do chicken or fish, but not red meat. My niece will not do red meat, but chicken is fine, while fish, or “anything that swims in its own poop”, is off limits. I have a friend with a terrible egg allergy, so we have to be careful. My BIL and his wife went all-in vegan due to health issues. I’ve thrown my hands up. I’ll make what I want with enough for like minded people, do some simple veggies and let the wife go to Whole Foods to satisfy the picky. Cooking is mostly a matter of reading comprehension. I’m no chef, but I can read. Since I already put your wife in the same cooking basket as a 9 year old boy, I had to wonder how much more I could offend you or your bride. 😋

Second, I’d buy her some spices. Third, learn to use them. We had our 9 year old grandson last weekend. He’s expressed an interest in learning how to cook, a bit of a hobby for me for a while. He can do better than microwaving his own hot dog. We do some simple recipes he loves that he could do himself with a little assistance. I hope I did not just compare your wife's cooking skills to the potential of a nine year old boy, because I think that’s what I just did. 😋

To be reunited with the ST coach who blazed that path before him! 😋 It’s not a Coordinator, but we’ve had changes at safety coach, assistant OLine coach (Kromer not impressed? Scapegoat?), Senior Defensive Assistant (DC in waiting?) and who knows what else. We are not without coaching changes. Now, let’s hope it’s enough to make a difference. If the new WR coach can make a HUGE difference he’d be worthy of Organizational MVP consideration!

Yep, you don’t wait until all the options are off the table to make a move. I wonder how much Al Holcomb as Senior Defensive Assistant will add. Is he the DC in waiting? I don’t know much about him, but he’s worked with McD and he’s been a DC before. Is this a transition year? Frazier is getting up there in years. He’ll be 64 next season. Not ancient, but you have to wonder….
