  1. Maybe this signing will appease those fans in the "we need a weapon" club. Is he a weapon?
  2. I know, it is saddening. This season may end up being the mini-rebuild that was supposed to happen last season. That would suck.
  3. Concur. In lieu of big spending on an FA, I hope the draft for pass rushers provides us a gem, that's about the only option left.
  4. There are 31 other teams chasing elite talent like Garrett. And most of them have more money to throw at it. It's a bit arrogant or delusional to think that the Bills are always in the Top-5 to sign someone.
  5. The new contract is already in Wikipedia. Dang... that took minutes.
  6. Absolutely. Tank years are a legit strategy. Especially if you time it to hit a draft strong in QBs.
  7. If the salary cap were as imaginary as some posters here make it out to be, New Orleans would be tremendously relieved. As it is, the Saints are in salary cap hell, stuck with mediocre but expensive players and no relief coming anytime soon. Sure, the salary cap is an illusion. /s
  8. Blog post title I read today: 500M Europeans Are Begging 300M Americans for Protection from 140M Russians Who Have Been Unable to Overcome 50M Ukrainians for Three Years That about sums it up, Europeans are leaches and Russia is inept.
  9. I thought Von was slated to be a June 1st cut, for some reason.
  10. Ooof. I've purchased them for a daughter. There are so many options--so many ways to go wrong, I make her text me a picture of exactly what she wants.
  11. I use it every night, for me it is a must. My sinuses get dry without it. Also, fill it with Distilled Water per the directions. Keeping in mind you are pumping that water vapor deep into your lungs and you don't want some funky bacteria or virus from tap water coming in.
  12. CPAP was one of the Top-10 best things to happen to me. I sleep like baby with it. Without it, I have a terrible sleep. A game changer was a new CPAP machine. I had the old Philips-Respironics (the one that was recalled), what a piece of crap. I have a ResMed now, it is much quieter.
  13. You forgot to mention that the owner is under a spell cast by the HC.
  14. RIP... I think I'll watch Enemy Of The State as tribute. CO problem? I should hope not. A detector is $20. I have two running.
  15. Public service announcement.... Duff's at Eastern Hills Mall makes a very good pizza. It's not Buffalo style, if that's your thing.
  16. That's quite an accomplishment for a fifth rounder, it reflects well upon Shakir. It also bolster Beane's reputation for picks in the later rounds. If he could only be so good with his first rounders.
  17. Sorry. The is no Bills Trifecta. It is Allen alone, a one-fecta.
  18. I'm going to vote for someone who turned out to possibly be the Bills worst draft pick ever, Tom Cousineau. Check out the names here (wikipedia): Cousineau was selected first overall in the 1979 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills, who acquired the pick as a part of a package of five draft picks from the San Francisco 49ers in a 1978 trade for O. J. Simpson. However, he never played a game for the Bills. He instead signed with the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes, who signed him for double the money originally offered by the Bills. Cousineau became a star for the Alouettes, becoming the Grey Cup Most Valuable Player in the 1979 season. He only played in four games in his third season because of an elbow injury while the Alouettes collapsed. In 1982, Cousineau wanted to return to the NFL, choosing to forego two optional years with the Alouettes. The Houston Oilers attempted to sign him, but the Bills (who still held Cousineau's NFL rights) matched the offer. Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell had long been interested in signing him. As a result, Cousineau was traded from the Bills to the Cleveland Browns for a first-round draft choice (14th overall) in the 1983 NFL draft, plus a second and a third draft choice in subsequent years. That first-round pick was used on future Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly. Due to his disappointing NFL career, Cousineau is considered to be a draft bust.
  19. When you resale your stake of ownership, you'll get a ROI. But at other times, you'll only get cash profits when the majority owner is in the mood to dish out.
  20. Ruder... yes. Don't even get me started on the tipping expectation everywhere, including take out. My rule of thumb: if I have to stand to order, you aren't getting a tip.
  21. Who would want to be a minority owner? You lose a big chunk of your cash for nothing. You might get profits when the majority owner is willing to share. You have no say in operations. You only get the vanity of being an owner, that's some expensive vanity.
  22. Untradable, at least for anything of value. But there are worse things in life than having Milano as a healthy starter for us next year, so I'm not crying in my beer.
  23. That "as much a chance" is an unfounded leap of faith not supported by history. The Bills and other teams new coaches, more often than not, fail to move the needle.
