I’d like to see Diggs get a new deal before the price goes up.

I’ve seen him on several sports talk shows, and he seems very determined and genuinely contrite. I have no idea where he actually stands emotionally and in his recovery, but as they say - fake it ‘till you make it. Unfortunately, we have too much experience in this field. I can tell you it is possible to turn it around and be the “real you” again. I also know that there is always the risk of falling back into the wrong behaviors. Best wishes to you in achieving all your goals and having the best life possible.

Sorry I can’t be of any real help, but I can say don’t expect anything fast. My college buddy has a problem child back living with them. (My goddaughter, yay.) She’s not allowed to smoke in the house, so she goes out into the garage to smoke. She also drinks. A LOT. On September 7 of last year they woke up at 2:00 AM to find that the house was burning to the ground. Nobody was hurt, so that’s the important part. Now, about the insurance….it took about 5 months to get things worked out and get any money. Building a new house expected to be done next September. Out of their house for a year. We had trees fall on our house during a traopical storm in Florida. It crushed the tile on one slope of the house. State Farm “generously” wrote a check to replace that slope of the house for about $6k. Of course, they no longer made that tile any more, so it was upon us to stroke the check for the other $24k. That’s not what I think of as insurance. We moved to Cincinnati Insurance and have never used State Farm again. When we presented them with the coverage Cincinnati Insurance was quoting they responded with something like “I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t do that.” Hope it’s not too big of a deal, and good luck!

I feel like I’m setting myself up for being very interested. I’m taking nothing for granted.

I’m not arguing he’s “better”, just saying I love Knox, and Gronk is still right there at his age. Brady was kinda good, he knew where to go with the ball. We NEED another NFL quality TE. Gronk MIGHT be that guy. I’ll trust our FO to figure that out. .

I’m not saying do it, cost matters. But he’s played more games (barely) than Knox (who I love) the last 2 years. Gronk had more catches, yards and YPC (55/802/14.6) than Knox (49/587/12) last year. Mostly by a wide margin. And he’s a good blocker. It’s a dangerous game and guys get hurt. I’d love to see him get one more ring with his home town team. .

As someone who left WNY in 1977, I have no idea what this entails. Can someone describe this draft day party? How many attend? Where is it held? Is it free food and drink? Do they give stuff away? I’m not sure if I should be upset without knowing more about what you are missing. I do get that it’s a long time until the Bills first comes up, and I hope it stays that way!

I sincerely wish I could help you in your new field, but I will promise you this: Sometimes something “bad” happens, and it turns out to be a blessing. I spent about 20 years in banking. It was a fine job, but the bank I was last with eliminated a layer of management. I saw it coming and bought into a client’s existing business. That resulted in the happiest working years of my life. I’m retired now in another state, and I still dream about it. I LOVED what I did, and I learned the difference between a “job” and getting paid for a passion. When things looked dark, the best days were ahead. Good luck to you going forward.

If he’s strictly a punter, and we do the math, if he were to punt twice a game on average for 17 games, with the time it takes him to get it off this is barely minimum wage.

The most stupid things you did in your youth would be quite a thread! Nobody would admit to the best material, I’m afraid. How we made it this far is mystifying.

Fine, but I think he wears contacts. 😋

…and had the 4th best rushing offense in the league. Coincidence? Somewhat surprisingly, the Bills were only 2 spots behind at 6th. Too much of that was Josh for my taste. Great weapon, but let’s not get him killed! The Browns problem was being 27th in passing, while the Bills were 7th. I love our balance! https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/rushing-yards-per-game https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/passing-yards-per-game

Some might call it “nuts”, while others just call it “the Browns”. This is part of their standard playbook.

Rex should be their coach!!!

It was a tragic accident! I signed up for “fishing”.

Josh has a TON of highlights, but that play where he got crushed by two guys and still got the ball out on target was quintessential gritty Josh. I don’t know how to “rank” them, but THAT has to be on the list.

So…..we need to find him some space? Don’t all offensive players do better with no defenders around? 🤷‍♂️

With arms like that, he probably can’t even reach his wallet!

“Fishing” can be exhausting! And it makes you so thirsty! Seriously, we went to Boca Grande, FL for tarpon fishing one time. Talk about exhausting! I was the first and only one to hook a tarpon. I had NO idea what I was in for! That is a SERIOUS battle, and my biceps were burning. I was pretty active and fit at that point, but I was struggling with this beast. I have my wife, and both boys with me, both gym rats who did well in the HS state weight lifting championship. The older one could bench 400 lbs+ without warming up. THEY should be doing this $%^#! Unfortunately, I can’t hand it over to one, and not the other, so I’m stuck! I’m trying to think of a way out of it, but I’m trapped. I battle it out and get it up to the boat, only to realize how enormous and menacing this thing is! That guy had to release it pretty damn fast or I was going to throw his expensive gear into the water! That was cool to do………once.

Awww……you look so……peaceful. 😋 You’re 36 minutes in. You seem to be quite good at this. I think you have found your calling!

WAIT! That looks a lot like me, but……I don’t remember that! Are you shocked?

No, he’s certainly not out of the woods. But he’s passed an important hurdle. The funny thing is, something creepy happened, of that I’m sure. What it was exactly, I really don’t think I want to know.

….and let an NFC team win! We have enough good young QB’s in the AFC already! .

He brought it all upon himself, and in my opinion deserves every bit of it. If not more. Attention whores like this put other people in danger.

If we trade back, we can draft 8 or 9, it’s supposed to be a deep WR class. I say we get one vet (like a Beasley, Sanders, Brown guy) and draft on in the first 3 rounds.
