That's a valid point. Without busting the cap, they could have brought in a UDFA to spur competition. Camp fodder. It's too late now, even the kickers only semi-decent are signed somewhere.

He had his choice of teams to go to. That he chose a nemesis of the Bills is no coincidence.

You can have a clean liver if you want it. The liver can recover. Abs? I don't know you well enough to say. Some people can get them, and some are just too far gone

The decision to cut Bass would be a collaboration of Beane and McDermott. At this moment in time, Beane is probably saying No to cutting Bass, for all the salary cap reasons discussed here.

I admit it... I once called Josh a turnover machine and said there was an issue there. I give myself a break though. It was said in the heat of the moment, right after he threw 3 interceptions to the Jets opening day last year. He wasn't very good in that game. But when you look at his body of work as a whole, his interception rate is around average.

It's hard to find a simple text version of the schedule. Here is one to cut and paste. If you put paste it into an editor with a monospaced font, like Windows notepad, the columns come out evenly: PS1 Saturday August 10 Bears Bills 1:00 p.m. PS2 Saturday August 17 Bills Steelers 7:00 p.m. PS3 Saturday August 24 Panthers Bills 1:00 p.m. 1 Sunday September 8 Cardinals Bills 1:00 p.m. 2 Thursday September 12 Bills Dolphins 8:15 p.m. 3 Monday September 23 Jaguars Bills 7:30 p.m. 4 Sunday September 29 Bills Ravens 8:20 p.m. 5 Sunday October 6 Bills Texans 1:00 p.m. 6 Monday October 14 Bills Jets 8:15 p.m. 7 Sunday October 20 Titans Bills 1:00 p.m. 8 Sunday October 27 Bills Seahawks 4:05 p.m. 9 Sunday November 3 Dolphins Bills 1:00 p.m. 10 Sunday November 10 Bills Colts 1:00 p.m. 11 Sunday November 17 Chiefs Bills 4:25 p.m. 13 Sunday December 1 49ers Bills 8:20 p.m. 14 Sunday December 8 Bills Rams 4:25 p.m. 15 Sunday December 15 Bills Lions 4:25 p.m. 16 Sunday December 22 Patriots Bills 1:00 p.m. 17 Sunday December 29 Jets Bills 1:00 p.m. 18 TBD TBD Bills Patriots TBD Or, here is an Excel version of the schedule...if the upload works. bills-schedule.xls

If you don't want to see a subject beaten to death, don't bring up Doug Flutie. It was especially brutal during his time with the Bills.

JetBlue, non-stop to BUF to LA, it's the way to go. Any other airline that is using connecting flights is just busting your chops. If you fly Southwest, fly Business Select. You pay more, but you get priority boarding and avoid their crush of humanity boarding process.

A message board nicknaming effort, they rarely come to fruition. Last season there was an effort to nickname Dalton Kincaid. As far as I know, he is still Dalton Kincaid.

Why a Bills fan: Van Miller... because the games were mostly blacked out and on the radio only. The Radio coverage was very good in those days compared to today. Joe Ferguson... because all young boys look up to the QB. He was no Jim Kelly or Josh Allen, but he was still a good one.

Josh Allen won't play in an offense anchored around one double-teamed Diggs. Teams won't double any Bills receiver. Josh Allen will have multiple receiving options to throw to each play--one will become open. Kincaid will be even better. James Cook's running game will be stout.

I will admit it, I clicked through hoping for photos. This is ridiculous: The lawsuit alleges the Jaguars committed gross negligence by failing to properly hire McManus, train him about inappropriate and sexual contact with flight staff, supervise him on the flight, adopt policies and procedures to protect flight staff from sexual misconduct by its employees, and enforcing a zero-tolerance policy regarding inappropriate behavior. They are just suing the deep pockets, looking for their out of court nuisance settlement.

I like the character guys also. There are hard-boiled fans on here who don't care about a player's character--I'm sure they will speak up. They just want the best pure athlete available. They are the ones who complained on draft day about Beane selecting "another team Captain" as if that were a bad thing.

All Josh has to do is wait for one of his many receivers to open. Is that too optimistic of a statement for 2024? I don't think so. It's better than the early 2023 game plan of: All Josh has to do is wait for Diggs to get open.

Best memory....learning football by listening to Van Miller radio broadcasts---not by watching TV. It was 1980-ish. The Bills games were rarely on TV due to blackout rules, the radio broadcast was the only game in town. Listening carefully to the broadcast and visualizing what they were saying was how I learned a lot about football. It was a great experience. I still enjoy radio to this day. The Monday and Thursday night games are so relaxing to listen to that I'm accidentally asleep by the third quarter.

No underrated pizza for me. I have Bocce, Francos, and Mister Pizza convenient to me. I even have Gino's if I want NY style. It's always a problem deciding where to go. When I lived near Transit Road, I liked Picasso's. I would file them as underrated. People who diss the Buffalo pizza scene just aren't trying. There is something for everyone.

A thread of optimism and positivity. What a pleasant change of pace.

People who cut the corner instead of squaring the corner. That is actually crossing a double-yellow line and could get you a ticket. People who hesitate and delay when the green arrow lights up. If I miss this green arrow because of your snoozing.. #$%^% Having said that, I try not to get too pissed while driving. If you get pissed while driving, you are letting others control you--that's not good for your mental health.

A McD hate thread guised as an objective analysis. We haven't seen one in a long time.

I reserve judgement until after training camp. I want to see how all the new faces in the WR room perform in August. Making forecasts now with what little we know of these WR is folly.

This championship win is filed under things that make me happy. My bucket list has "attend a Bandits game" on it. I understand they are quite an experience. Raucous. Vinc is a helluva goaltender. I believe hockey and lacrosse dynasties come down to goaltending. Like QB is to the NFL.

I didn't score well as a Ford man.

Down. I have a dog who would drink the bowl dry and pee all over the house. She's absolutely nuts about water--she has no limits.

I started to watch and it was interesting, but I wish there were a transcript to skim over. I don't do podcasts or videos--I am a reader.

Heh, he is a bonehead for certain. Though, it's interesting watching people get so emotional and indignant about the comments from someone with zero quan. That's just like, his opinion, man.
