    Agreed. But I'd like to think "liking to watch football" should be part of the requirement for a Bills  beat reporter. Too many  seem like they really don't like the sport they're covering.

    Granted he was a columnist, but I always thought any Sullivan column on the Bills should be prefaced with the phrase 'I'd rather be golfing...trying for under 100'.

  2. Back when the [BN]competent still used Disqus as a comment service, I slammed that digital rag non stop for the errors, omissions, hack writing, and never ending supply of drunks leering for the camera for 'Smiles At' galleries.  Especially bad were some of the slang and errors in story headlines.  Another commenter stated bad headlines are often the fault of an editor, few reporters are allowed to title their own stories.

    Interesting dream... I have to ask, is she in the car with you?  If so, is she visible to the casual observer?  Assuming no, when you’re speeding around the curve are you yelling “Watch the teeth!  I said WATCH THE TEETH!!”

    No, which immediately renders the second and third questions irrelevant.

    Better?  Is she the woman of your dreams, now?

    Well, yes.  Dreams after too many slices of a Bocce Club cheese, double pepperoni, onions, and black olives.  Usually at some point in the dream I am also driving a vehicle too fast around a curve.

    Thanks Ridgewaycynic2013, that would actually probably be best for me in the long run as opposed to Peterman growing forgettable and having a senseless nickname.

     

    "I was watching that legendary quarterback back when he was throwing 5 picks in a half!"

    Ah, with nostalgia like that you'll be a natural to introduce Peterman at his HOF induction ceremony...unless he too 'pulls a TO'.  FranchiseQB and BurpleBull there in the front row...brings a tear to my eye.

    every time you buy coke, you're providing resources so a Drug Lord can buy another pet tiger and get a docuseries on Netflix.  I like watching them.

    I thought every time you bought coke, a PepsiCo exec gets angina.

    Hmm... fair question. I'm not sure. I'm assuming they wrote the rule in a way that basically says no major alterations can be made to the helmet. Teams used to be able to wear throwback uniforms with a different colored helmet but now with the emphasis on head injuries, CTE, etc. the league has a real thorough checklist for equipment managers to maintain. They must feel that using a different colored helmet (even though the alternate helmet would be the exact same model and size that the player already wears, plus they can take the same facemask and put it on the alternate) could strengthen the opportunity for a head injury. "Oh, Player A wore a throwback helmet in week ten, there was a slight chinstrap alteration which caused his concussion, therefore we, the league, are not liable because we told teams at the beginning of the season that they have to use the same helmet for the entire season!" Or some whacky sh!t like that.

    Like a lot of things today, 'it's all about the lawyers'.
