  1. Bills should start scheduling events for stadium even if they are high school ones to help them control schedule.
  2. I worked in Seattle for a while and every place I went to there had soggy wings. Most of the other dishes too. Reminded me of working in England without the lard,
  3. Zay Jones had talent, new WC Coach goes to that team taking credit, recommends Zay and then has nothing to help Zay in NFL elevating his game. Whose fault is that? Zay, the bust of a WR Coach or the HC coach who canned the WR coach on contract who had very good reviews? Note: When coach was hired from Eastern Carolina I stated at time he was a bust of WR coach going between NFL and college to whatever team was desperate for a WR coach.
  4. He is the one who gave Pittsburgh the recommendation to look at Whiley.
  5. I hope there are large signs: Welcome Tennessee COVIDs! We have the antidote to YOU!
  6. There was some discussion at time that Whaley's college issues were due to scouting department which was canned when he was and then 3 or 4 scouts were rehired. He would need a good director of college scouting and NFL front offices are all teams even if in some front offices a few people including owners may dominate and not listen to people they pay.
  7. I think it would be okay as long as he was part of a good team including someone else doing interviews.
  8. When my daughter was in school she had to do a book report on Chinese in America starting in 1850s. I read that Chinese in US working on railroad were cooking wings using butter and hot sauce during gold rush. Sounded a lot like Anchor Bar recipe before there was an Anchor Bar.
  9. Unless you are @Ethan in Portland
  10. I am sure Jerry Jones is not on his friend list either and would not mind if the crazy owner was replaced.
  11. Jimmy's Old Town Tavern in Herndon, VA has better Buffalo Wings than many places in Western New York but he is from Arcade, NY and uses same recipe. They have won a lot of competition awards too and are served at Buffalo Nite annually in Washington, DC. Beef on Weck is great too and he got a local bakery to make them to order for him. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g57821-d1382677-r234350708-Jimmy_s_Old_Town_Tavern-Herndon_Fairfax_County_Virginia.html
  12. Well the NFL frowns on his alternate way of relieving tension. Well they frown on him getting caught more than the actual act.
  13. Some restaurants are doing better with pandemic but hyperinflation is affecting some parts of the markets now. A friend of ours has a Japanese restaurant called Burke Fortune House and has had takeout sushi orders tripled with people wanting to eat at home. The most popular container for sushi platter has gone up 8 times in price. The worst part of visiting her restaurant is tries to let us eat for free. She works hard at her job and during day she works for my wife in kitchen in school so she can get health insurance at a great group rate. Most of the women in kitchen work there for that reason. She knows however that I am a high level professional and she does not need to give us a discount but she keeps trying and when we leave will often give something to my daughter an eel dish she loves.
  14. Raw chicken wing prices have gotten out of control with supermarkets selling for $4 a pound which is more than boneless, skinless chicken tenders. My wife and I were shopping at Restaurant Depot and they had a 40# "miss-cut" box of chicken wings for 50 cents a pound and I told my wife to buy it. Not one of them were cooked Buffalo style but Chinese have been cooking chicken wings as a dish for hundreds of years and they were as good Buffalo wings are.
  15. He did okay for himself turning NFL playing career into coaching career. Nothing like Teller trade. It was player for a player.
  16. Think it occurred last week. Photos: https://www.buffalobills.com/photos/rookie-mini-camp-2274440#0983c640-a0c8-4607-b0cc-fc2026128052 on May 2, 2022 Jay Skurski of Buffalo News reported Buffalo State LS Cole Jenkins was invited to rookie minicamp "next weekend" (no dates) https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/east-aurora-native-buffalo-state-long-snapper-cole-jenkins-receives-invite-to-bills-rookie-minicamp/article_1a93b0c6-ca77-11ec-bdf4-b3842a0d9532.html
  17. Beane implied that he was the backup to AJ Klein in video. He said they loved what AJ Klein did but could not afford him. Personally I think he is much too light for that role and I can see why Bernard models himself after Milano since he is a smaller LB but will need to get a lot stronger,
  18. I think his level is overrated. Much of his ability had come from information from Director of Analysis and Spying who supposedly retired from Cheaters.
  19. I look at the transition from college to NFL similar to high school to college. When you get to college you set your own schedule other than required classes, have counselors with most part you can choose to ignore and when you fail you basically are out unless you choose to go to some other route like a community college which has lower standards or a private commercial college which as long as you pay they really don't care if you succeed even encouraging you to get loans which you may not be able to repay back even if you finish their curriculum. It is all up to you, your abilities and your effort. He had a lot of support in college including living at one time with one of his coaches. When he got to NFL he got paid far more than he knew how to handle and he had lots of choices for help both from NFLPA and NFL and for most he did not take. He knew he had issues and money for serious professional help but choose not to get it.
  20. Sitting out is exactly what Browns want. Every game he does not play he does not play. More likely he will play and have an injury which doctor days he needs time to recover from. He gets paid and a clean bill of health in January.
  21. No international games - Bills are an international treasure. And considering connections for Buffalo I am glad they are flying less miles.
  22. Because of what Cheats have done in pass having head cheat get his azz whipped on prime time yields great ratings. And I do not see NFL scheduling "Week 11: Green Bay Thanksgiving night 8:15 pm". Bad connections for holiday night game.
  23. No he had talent but mentally he had issues some of which he disclosed to press. Kyle Williams took him under his wing for a while. Bills tried to have him get counseling and he agreed and then did not go. I do not think the staff at the time did him any favors. It was a big mistake (Jim Overdorf) to sign him extension without clauses to reclaim bonuses if he did not stay on the straight and narrow. https://247sports.com/Article/Baltimore-Ravens-host-ex-Alabama-star-DT-Marcell-Dareus-for-tryout-per-report--187296704/
  24. Have always thought well of Rich Eisen. He does not pad shows or do hype.
  25. Since you are paying before completion "interest free installments leading up to completion of the stadium" is wrong. They should be paying YOU interest. This sounds like a timeshare with special assessment fees.
