All true….so just like everything that’s changed in the NFL over the years, why are they clinging to the charade that we know as preseason? There are any number of ways to morph it and keep up with everything you pointed out above.

Maybe they’re just naturally curious. 😁

You must’ve missed the sentence where I said they’re meaningless if the actual team doesn’t play. Yes, I’m sure a couple of back row players will get a shot at making the special teams unit here or elsewhere….but it’s definitely morphed over the decades into an exercise that the teams tolerate more than one that they either enjoy or actually need.

As I’ve said already, why not just have the league establish a compromise where the starters play the first quarter with limited full contact. The guys get much needed time against a foreign adversary and injuries are limited to the minimum possible. That’s what the Pro Bowl was for decades and there were very few injuries

Time to switch pubs (“meetings” to use your terminology)

Gunner The most interesting aspect of your projected roster is that this may be the first time in NFL history that a team won’t have a single Running Back. 😳

See my response above. I believe they can use quarters two, three and four for that.

I’ve always thought the starters should play a quarter, and if the NFL was smart BOTH teams would do the same and treat that first quarter as a glorified scrimmage with only limited hitting.

Preseason has become totally meaningless. If the actual team isn’t going to play then why do they even have these games?

Sweet! I’ll be coming over to your house. And I never got it for free.

Does anyone know if there are more or fewer subscriptions since YouTube took it over from DirecTV? My assumption is that when the price went up, the number of subscribers went down. I know that I didn’t renew mine.

I had it a few years ago. Spent many an evening on the sofa rolling my arch over an iced water bottle. The cool part of the story was that after walking around Paris and London for a week (which I thought was gonna kill me) leading up to the Bills first visit to the UK and Wembley Stadium , I woke up that game day Sunday morning and the pain was completely gone. Go figure! It’s never come back.

I find it hard to believe that Bishop wouldn’t be anything less than second string at the outset and a starter by October.

Anyone but Gus Johnson. I’m exhausted by his over the top schtick.

Thanks for sharing. Any chance you can post a hand drawn sketch of what you saw? 😉

USA Today is still alive? Go figure! I learn something new every day.

I believe everyone knows that. No idea what stump you’re on here. No offense.

And flat tax simplifies the tax code….no? Nobody is in favor of a flat tax that also retains the labyrinth of deductions etc. Nobody!

You're aware that it's all of those deductions and credits that make the tax code complex.....right? (Asking for a friend.)

Always has been and still is one of the cheapest looking uniforms in professional sports. A local Rec League team can, and does, do better.

One of mine as well. If I recall it was only the second time the Bills had played on MNF and the Opener to boot. Not exactly sure why but the stadium atmosphere was nothing short of amazing that night. Great choice!

As I’ve mentioned many times in the past, I was an Owner of a pretty significant sized corporation. At the end of our fiscal year we had very few options of what we could do with profits. One, we could pay taxes on them and retain any remaining funds to save for use, if needed, in the following year. Two, we could reduce the corporate tax burden by distributing those profits to our owners and employees…who would then pay regular income tax on the amount they received. There is no option where taxes are not paid! Thinking that corporations are somehow getting away with something is utter nonsense. I don’t offer this as some sort of political talking point. It’s just that most people don’t own a corporation so they have virtually no personal experience on this topic other than what they’re being told by talking heads who should (and most definitely do) know better.

Oh stop. They are no different than you and I and everyone else They pay the taxes dictated by the tax code.

Whereas you attempt to pay as much tax as possible each year?

Could’ve been the first name hoisted on the new stadium’s Ring of Honor, and now…..not!
