You just don’t understand the rules and jockeying that’s now taking place. Stevenson couldn’t go on IR or he be done for the season. He will be put on IR tomorrow and then he can be activated again at some point. His place on the 53 will last only 24 hours. That’s how the system works.

Lists - the means for lazy broadcasters, commentators, writers, columnists, to submit content when they have nothing else. Their opinions are no more valid than yours.

Not sure, but the Bills were already looking for ways to get under the cap and have some funds in reserve for the inevitable injury events. Now, they unexpectedly have to pay for a second punter (probably a veteran)and I assume still have to pay something to Araiza.

That was awkward. I don’t think any of the press even bother to ask about how they will address the replacement punter. Have they already brought anybody in?

It’s being reported that he will not play tonight

Who is this Jane Doe anyway? She seems to get into trouble quite a lot.

After reading the lawsuit, it should be a concern. But, the Bills must have known about this prior to drafting him. Did their investigation give them confidence that the claim was frivolous? Why was no arrest made following the police report and physical exam? Were the alleged perpetrators ever questioned directly at a police Interrogation room? Did law enforcement look the other way because they were influenced by somebody involved with the team? The timing - why is this just coming out now, days after Araiza was effectively named the starter on special teams? If the allegations are true, it's sad for her. But, if it's all a fabricated B.S. money grab, it's sad for everyone, but especially for actual victims of violent acts. It wouldn't be the first time a woman has attempted to extort money from a high profile athlete or entertainer. Hope this isn't just the first of several unexpected stumbles in the Bills anticipated Superbowl run.

Not buying it for a second.

Cardinals: The film room is down the hall - use it.

Sorry if this was already mentioned, but if he's on PUP list, it's probably more than the 4 games dictated by that designation. He's not allowed to practice on PUP, and when he's eligible to be activated (following those 4 weeks), they're not going to throw him into his first full practice on Wednesday and have him defending WRs on Sunday. With that in mind, the earliest we could hope to see him (if he goes on PUP) is the KC game. And with a bye the following week after KC, I believe they'd hold off until after the bye. We'll know a whole lot more in about a week when he is or isn't on the PUP list. If there's any consolation, remember the Bills fared pretty well after Thanksgiving last year when Tre went down. They still have a decent secondary, and with greater pass rush pressure from a bolstered DL, it should make the CBs jobs easier.

Its draft capital. Assets. Having extra 6th round draft capital gave Beane the ability to jump ahead of other potential suitors to snag Shakir- who may turn out to be the steal of the draft.

I hope Haack doesn't get called up by another team and just pulls a 'George Costanza' and shows up at the airport on Thursday as if he was never let go. Can you see him looking at McDermott with a baffled expression of 'whaaat'? That? I wasn't even trying to punt good. I was just warming up for the Rams game. Didn't want to pull a hammy before the opener. Sooo, is there a window seat available seat up front?'

If any youngsters ask, I am officially from ‘the olden days’. How and when did that happen!!!?

Almost the same story. Moved to Atl in ‘86. Had been to many games before and since. Had seasons in ’92 & ‘93. Even following Super Bowl appearances, that was still affordable. I can afford to go to Buffalo and get tickets for my wife and myself, but for the cost of airfare, hotel, tickets, meals, it’s just not a great value at $1000-$1500 (or more) for one weekend. On top of that, there’s no guarantee it would be a good game and/or that it won’t be raining cats and dogs. Still, having seen OJ, Kemp, Namath, Unitas, Kelly, Thurman, Marino and so many other greats in person, would love to see Allen just once. It’s the same with concerts. I could see the Stones in ‘75 for the cost of 2 or 3 hours labor at my pizza job. To see a top act or ball game today, it would take that same worker a week’s salary. Apparently, there are enough people with deep pockets or disposable income that are willing to spend a grand on a single event. I’m not one of them.

I’ve been a vocal critic of Edmunds, but I have a feeling he’s aware of the criticism and will work hard to shut us up. With the reinforced D-line and another year of experience and maturity, I won’t be surprised if he blossoms into the LB we all want him to be.

I hope not. I think it's probably more a case of her expectation that he'd be retired and have more flexibility with domestic matters so she can resume her career full time. Kind of an "it's my turn now, Tom" thing. Like his job as a player, her modeling career has a limited number of viable years. Their kids are getting older, so I guess she feels he's had plenty of time with his NFL playmates and accomplished more than any QB in history, so he ought to be willing to hang up the cleats at 45 years old. From his point of view I'd argue, he has at least 26 weeks off, not counting any mandatory OTAs. Maybe he needs a break from that battleaxe nagging incessantly about the kids and the house. They have enough money. Hire a half dozen nannies, chauffeurs, full time maintenance staff for their properties. He's got to be the one to take the kids to school? Really?

Just read an article in which Brady says he had to take time off to look after his marriage because the wife was ragging on hm about him not doing enough stuff around the house. I suspect she’s been talking with my wife.

Some of the press ask the dumbest questions, leaving the players searching for a halfway intelligible answer.

The Beach Boy with the hat is Mike Love, original member. The guy second from left is their drummer- last name Cowsill. Figure it out. btw- I hate The Beach Boys music

There you go

I knew it. He seemed like such a suck- up at the pre-draft interview with McDermott and Beane…..Bringing his stupid notebook thinking they’d be impressed by that. The only thing in the binder were doodles he drew at the airport.

I was at that game in 1968. My most vivid memories are when the crowd sang "goodbye Collier, goodbye Joe, goodbye Collier, we're glad to see you go". I guess that song was a known 'thing' back then before 'Na na na na hey hey goodbye' replaced it as the good riddance fan chant. The fans got their wish. Collier was fired immediately after. Our seats were 4 rows from the field, just behind the visitors bench at War Memorial. The other memory from day is exiting, and walking on the track alongside the wooden snow fence that separated the bleachers from the playing field. On the other side of the fence next to me, walking the same direction, was Ben Davidson, the handlebar-mustached defensive end for the Raiders who stood 6 ft 8 inches. As I was just a kid, seeing a human that size up close was mind boggling. One of the assistant coach's wives had ridden with us to the stadium. I've wondered if going with us, rather than driving herself had anything to do with a suspicion that the dismissal was imminent. Those were dark days. A common theme is Bills' playoff lore is the 17 season drought. Well, that era was hardly any better, with only a single appearance (loss in 1974) from 1967 to 1980. Every time the team was on the brink of being a contender, Ralph tightened the purse strings and jettisoned (or pissed off) good talent. Thank goodness we have the Pegulas, Beane and the rest - people who care more about winning than the bottom line.

I submitted my revised Washington Commanders helmet design. No word from the team yet. p.s. - You'll probably only get this if you grew up in Buffalo watching kids programs in the 60s or 70s. 😉

the obvious 5, Kumerow and Hodgins. Crowder gone.

Seemed like a decent person, nice singer from an era when entertainers remembered their job was to entertain- rather than trying to force their political views down our throats. She had very rare quality- she could be the most wholesome peaches and cream girl next door, and at the same time be as sexy and desirable as any fantasy pinup girl. Rest In Peace.
