SoCal Deek

Now that’s a name I hadn’t heard in a long time. 😂

The only thing I know about Patricia is that he went to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy NY, near Albany, which also happens to be my father’s Alma Mater. It’s an engineering school and I’m not sure they even have a football team. 😳

I’d be happy if he just taught our guys how to knock the ball away. 👍

You’ll note that I didn’t say anything about his intentions. I’m quite sure they’re good. But speaking as a guy who ran a major corporation, I can tell you it can be frustrating when employees, even really valuable ones, start getting out ahead of the front office.

Literally unbelievable.

So you’re saying it’s not true that Oakland used to have four teams playing in Oakland and soon there will be none? I’ll let my Oakland office know….I’m sure they’ll be surprised. 😉

Thanks Hawk….you may not realize it but you come across as incredibly partisan on here.

I have to hand it to you. You REALLY like to argue a simple point to death. Sheeesh

So if I understand your latest superdeep analysis, there's really nobody that you like other than totally 'progressive' leftists. It would've been easier just to say that.

With much respect. The nuances of various regions are sometimes difficult to comprehend. There’s a significant difference between the east and west bay side. I’m sure it doesn’t seem like much from WNY, but do not try and tell somebody from the Bay Area that they’re the same. And as you correctly pointed out, the A’s and Raiders will now have both moved out of State, not just out of the metro area. Further still, if memory serves, the San Jose Sharks are NOT the old California Seals. I believe they are a totally new franchise.

I’m not suggesting ANY drama at all. Relax! I’m asking whether those in WNY hear or see anything of the sort that I mentioned. All of this is just banter on a message board. Geeeeez!

I agree there, but we’ve yet to see that difference from Von Miller…even if we want to believe it’s there. I’m not saying he’s crossed the line yet, nor did I even hear his comments, but it seems to me that he’s been linked to a few of these threads, trying to get some ‘buddies’ to come to WNY. I didn’t think that’s what the Bills were trying to build. The Rams did it, and now they’re selling off just about everyone from their Super Bowl roster.

Weo….we’ve now established that you’re not from California. Oakland and San Francisco are most definitely not the same place. This is a significant blow to what was once a second tier major league city.

Is it just me or does Von Miller talk an awful lot for a guy who just got here and was injured almost half the season? Seems like he’s getting very close to becoming a distraction to the franchise-wide foundation, not rent-a-team philosophy, that the Bills have been trying to build.

Time to find another company. 😉

OP: Thanks for putting this together! I asked about something similar in another thread. Yes, I agree with your overall premise. When the smoke cleared I’d say the Bills pretty much decided (or the cap forced them to decide) to stay where they were. Not a bad idea given a 13-3 record and the logical, ready made excuse of 2022’s many injuries. It’s not like the roster is terribly old. So now they head into the draft with only one glaring hole…..they absolutely have to replace a MLB. The rest of the roster, just like every other team’s needs upgrades of course, but Edmunds spot is the only one with a truly untested replacement.

I wasn’t aware but apparently they have a Triple A team now, that’s the farm team for the A’s. I’m guessing they’ll relocate.

Okay people…the Oakland A’s have just announced that they’re in the final stages of moving to Las Vegas where they plan on building a $1.5 Billion, 35,000 seat stadium with a….yep… retractable roof. The site is just a mile north of Allegiant Stadium along the Strip if anyone is familiar with the area. Oakland, another small, working class, original AFL city will have now lost EVERY one of its major sports franchises. (NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL). Three of the four will have left in the span of a decade, and all have left over lack of updated facilities.

Sounds like you’re mad as hell and won’t take this anymore!

The Left proves once again that it is literally horrible at humor. I assume this lame cartoon is supposed to be DeSantis? When in fact it’s actually EVERY SINGLE high school principal in America.

Yeah…but do you have a roof?

If anyone thinks a show with a live audience is hard news, I urge them to rewatch the movie Network. 😉 Howard Beal was the best!

Thanks! Seems to be splitting hairs to me. Is it correct to assume an Edge drops off into coverage at times? If not, and all they do is help stop the run or rush the passer, that still sounds like a DE to me.

I guess I agree in theory but the only reason anyone watches any of these channels is for the sensationalism that they stir up. Before they found their niche nobody watched any of them. I’m probably more concerned that we’ve lost the ability to distinguish between traditional hard news and in essence what is nothing more than Op Ed style broadcasting.

Not exactly what I asked, but it still made me chuckle.
