Who wants to be the new Bills Beat Reporter?
boater replied to Kirby Jackson's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I wish all employers were like that. -
Ugh. CSS is like a root canal to me. I can do it when desperate--but would much rather do something else. That's why I buy web themes. Some brilliant dudes in India write them--and you can buy the equivalent of hundreds of hours of labor and tested code for $40.

People should be worried about our Depth
boater replied to BigDingus's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Off topic to OP: nice use of tags. The optimal use of tags seems to escape many posters. -
Eric Wood, 6/1 cut & Roster Addition
boater replied to RPbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The multimillionaire "was hurt" but you make him sound like a laborer at Galleria Mall. His signing bonus is more than you'll make in your lifetime. Remind me not to hire a callous mercenary such as yourself. -
Josh Allen already impressing in Buffalo

Maybe we can have nice things. -
Incognito's Retirement? [update: Now Released]
boater replied to Spiderweb's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
There are 32 teams. Prolly five of those teams have an offensive line worse than Buffalo's. Richie will sign with someone. Amusingly, it will be around the same $ Bflo agreed to. So by being a prickhead, Richie gets to undo a contract he signed, and then gets to choose his destiny. Weak signal for roster discipline from the Bills FO. "Play enough games, we'll let you go." -
Buffalo News in financial trouble
boater replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's the first quarterly loss in 10 years. While that's not bad by average business standards, it is bad for a Warren Buffett owned business. My guess: If they don't turn it around soon, it will be digital only everyday except Sunday. -
Wow. If you're an older Bills fan, you view signing the first rounder so quickly with amazement. In the old days, #1 draft picks were a hard chase for Ralph to sign. They'd bicker for more money, they'd flee to the CFL or USFL (Jim Kelly). Negotiations would drag into the summer. Some players were real pricks. I like the new unwritten rules: draft picks sign in inverse order of their selection, making X percent more than the person selected after them.

After 20 years of scrapple QBs, I'm looking forward to Prime Rib.

What's Up With the Buffalo Blitz Paywall?
boater replied to Keukasmallies's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
BN is owned by Warren Buffett. Warren Buffett companies make one thing -- piles of cash. He just cracked open his coin purse and bought 75 million more shares of Apple. Don't expect BN subscriptions to go away. Expect more of them. -
What Was “The Worst Kept Secret” About Russ Brandon?
boater replied to BuffaloRush's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm not aware of anything other than an inappropriate work relationship. Though, some posters suggested he was the leak of Owners Meeting audio--that would be pretty heinous. As someone who once worked in personnel I can say: you can sometimes survive an inappropriate workplace relationship. But aggravating factors counted against RB: he is married the relationship was apparently general knowledge within the organization, apparently exposed at the Sabres Winter Classic he apparently lied to Kim's face when confronted (I read that somewhere) Also, if he spent Bills money (travel, expense accounts, etc.) to further the affair---he's a deadman walking. You gotta think with your big head, not your little head. I feel bad for the Brandon family. Statistics are not good for a marriage to survive an affair. -
CBS Sports listed seven top rookie matchups two watch in 2018. The December Jets game was listed as Number 1. Sam Darnold vs. Josh Allen: Ranking the best rookie matchups on the NFL schedule An ESPN columnist is quoted via Twitter: Lolz. I can live with the Hoth label. It's not accurate, but it does psych out opposing teams. The game is touted as a sneak peak at a long running AFC East QB rivalry.

Anyone else having a rough week of work?
boater replied to Kirby Jackson's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Oy. I hope you are not dealing with a narcissist. Narcissist's deal very poorly with criticism and it is very difficult to get things back to normal, often impossible. A narcissist rage (their response to criticism) can be like a double barrel shotgun to the face. Pretty severe. I know narcissist issues well because I once had to deal with a doozy. I'd Google narcissist and see if that's what you're dealing with. They aren't normal people. Good luck. -
Bills hire former Carolina LB Dan Morgan to front office
boater replied to FluffHead's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Rex hired Jets. McBeane hires Panthers. I can live with the latter. At least the Panthers made it to the Super Bowl. -
Is she qualified? Get over yourself. She owns half the team. That's all the qualification you need. Is there some college major that prepares you to own a major sports team? She's ultimately qualified on her own merits. Go away you chauvinist pig.

Vegas Over/Under 2018 Win Totals - Bills at 6.5
boater replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Remember.. Vegas lines are not expert predictors. The line is designed to get equal number of bettors on each side, so the bookie makes money off transaction cost. As such, a Vegas line reflects the popular opinion of NFL fans nationwide, not necessarily careful analysis by experts. That's why during the season, how a team does "against the spread" is critical metric. As an unpopular team, the Bills typically do well against the spread. -
RUMOR - Agent claims NE wanted Mayfield at #2
boater replied to CommonCents's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Ugh. The tag system is being misused. "says patriots were taking him 2nd" is not what tags were meant for. Tags should be players names. Or things like QB, DE, OLB etc. -
Sal Capaccio Breaks Down Josh Allen's Footwork (Video)
boater replied to BuffaloRush's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Daboll's coaching ability is the elephant in the room people aren't talking much about. Allen is USDA Grade A QB material.. but what will Daboll do with that? I'm completely onboard with the Allen pick. However, the Daboll signing has me underwhelmed.
