  1. I had not seen that. This is why the draft is always so interesting to me. Some guy I’ve never heard of will get drafted by the Bills, and I’ll rush to look him up. 🤷‍♂️ But then I will have a firm opinion. 😂
  2. If @GunnerBill sees it as a real possibility, I give that some weight.
  3. Great stuff. I used to mess around with art when I was young. I had two decent results (for a kid). One was a streetlight at night with the glow on a city street. The other was of a Kansas City Chief player. It may not be the burial grounds. I’m so sorry.
  4. NFL.COM has his player comparison as Micah Parsons. I think they are just messing with me. 😋
  5. Elam still has the physical traits they drafted him for. I’m still hoping the light bulb comes on at some point and he learns how to use it. Maybe the coaching shakeup on D will help somehow.
  6. I am hopelessly hopeful, that started as a teen around closing time. 😋 .
  7. THAT’S the spirit! 😂
  8. Alright, I didn’t mention that I had donated until I started seeing faces I know. I’m not telling anyone what to do, but it just feels different now.
  9. Vince Carter over the Russian may be the only thing that competes with my memory of Spud. Giants dunking just don’t do it for me, but that’s just me of course.
  10. What a terrible tragedy. I can’t imagine what the family is experiencing. Prayers sent.
  11. The dunk contest hasn’t been interesting since Spud Webb was in it, imo.
  12. "I have known many troubles in my life, most of which never happened." - Mark Twain
  13. We are in this for the comp picks. 😋 I’m not worried. He’s not a quick twitch kind of player, but he does a good job imo. If we had one stud, like a younger/healthy Von, it would make it a lot easier on everybody.
  14. Turn your head and cough! I feel a trophy in our future!
  15. You are forgiven for three Hail Mary’s…… That go in the Bills favor in the playoffs next year. Not that I would survive the first one, but I’m just thinking of the rest of you. I’m that kinda guy. 😋
  16. What do ya mean? 😋 I do also recall that GunnerBill was pretty confident in this, so I’d give it some weight.
  17. We decided we are not the camping type, so we hit fast forward. Woke up in a lovely villa in Stowe Vt. Technology these days is GREAT!
  18. There is the talent evaluation, then the high stakes game of jumping. Be aggressive, or hold? For that reason, if I could pick any “sporting event” anywhere in the world, I’d pick the Bills draft room.
  19. I think we need to differentiate between “blocking” and “reducing.” Nothing short of a dome will eliminate it, but I’ll be very interested to see how it works out.
  20. Pffft! I was mesmerized by the shadows of the flames dancing on the cave walls.
  21. A couple summers after 1970 we went on a little vacation across northern Ohio. I was probably about 12 at the time. We went to Cedar Point Amusement Park, the NFL HOF……and Kent State. They had metal statues on campus, and my strongest memory of that trip was looking at and touching where the bullets had hit those statues. It was moving as a 12 year old, and it’s moving now.
  22. It might be time to put the shovel down and stop digging.
  23. Well, this is going about as well as I expected.
  24. When sports talk radio gets to the NBA, I listen to music for a while. Sorry, I can’t help you. I was a big fan back when Buffalo had the Braves and we split season tix with another family. My sister would babysit for Bob Kauffman who lived right behind us and would play around with us at the community hoop. Fast forward to when my kids were that age……we would bribe them when we were traveling to NBA cities. They were big AAU players and we’d get them to behave by saying we’d take them to the game tonight if we approved of their behavior. One weekday night in Charlotte the younger son turned to me about 5 minutes in and said “they’re not even trying!” BINGO! If they don’t care, why should I?
