Continuing the theme: I survived three tours in IZ w a very close friend, call sign Moses. Two days home after his last deployment: 4th of July on the Potomac, he slipped on a boat, hit his head and fell into the river. That was that. Incredibly sad. Hug your kids and friends, boys.

Pardon the play on words...but this is way too logical and thoughtful for the football ecosystem. Hot takes man. That's what I expect 24/7: hot takes injected straight into my veins.

...and Transient for the win, Best Popular Culture Reference

Prophetic. Nice call Sooner.

That'll work. However... Was not an armored guy, but 1stAD boys/girls in-theater used to call the main gun "Big Dog" or "Big Iron". As in "when the Big Dog starts barking, you know you're in the sh*t". Someone correct me if my memory sucks azz.

We don't know...Milano has declined to comment. I keeed, I keeed.

Funny you mentioned that, as I just watched a '24 highlight reel. With perspective gained from the season's distance, I'm further appreciating his core game. Man, he really improved his 2nd level power and spatial awareness. I was freaking pumped all over again. Now, as you and others allude, if he can only be relied on to 3rdD passpro...

Hah, good call! Jim Steinman has entered the chat.

Sweet, sweet popular culture reference. Love it. Is it just me, or is this only fr True Detective, Season 1, the greatest TV production I've ever seen? Otherwise, if it originated fr some ancient Thebes (whatever) philosopher, ignore and carry on...

Parenthetically, this is the most insightful TBD comment since the off-season started.

All I needed the story to say: "Spencer Brown--the Buffalo Bills ass-kicking R Tackle, who takes no sh*t from anyone, and who defends his teammates on and off the field--played golf with the President today."

Are you farking kidding me?

Thanks for this insight into training/med staff. Of the Drs, I only know William Wind (his team worked on my knee). Great surgeon, great guy. Side story: SB-era Bills chief Orthopedist was Richard Weiss, a sort of pioneer in ACL reconstruction. As a teen, he did mine; Dr Wind (noted above) was really impressed how well it held up.

JA didn't thank the fans. He's definitely lost a step.

Tbh, I prepped ribs Friday, and ate them last night...I had a ton of work deadlines on Saturday. Also, had no time to smoke 'em; just oven roasted. Did sugar and non-sugar dry brines, the latter for me. Don't flame b/c of my "can't smoke" imperative. In the end, they were.... pretty good, not fantastic. Menu today, for me and a couple buddies: Labatts lights, Patron Silver, Makers Mark. No way I can eat before/during this game.

I'll answer indirectly: I hate this board. But only b/c it's consumed every spare second of my existence for the past four wks. So, yeah, thinking about Sunday way too much.

🎶Did you ever know that you're my hero...🎶 - B. Midler* * I think she sang that "Wings" song

Well, between my current meth, glue-sniffing, foot fetish, and Bills habits...yea, thought about it once or twice.

Whatever happens, you gotta give mad respect to @boyst, @Mango, others, for the sheer tenacity in getting to this game... w/o mortgaging their children. (Aside: I'm over 50, so I'm doubly excited that I got to use "mad respect" in an actual sentence).

Thanks for this reminder. Great documentary on this band, I think it was ESPN 30-30. Showed a ton of heart re the city and fans.

Good point. My (very rough) comp is a sort of Dennis Rodman reincarnation into a football player. (Well, I mean, if Rodman had already slipped the mortal coil).

I wish I could double Awesome this. Watching live, me and my boys were screaming "FU M-fer" maniacally. Pure FAFO beauty. Thanks Doc for finding this.

Sorry brother! I had some spare minutes, opposable thumbs, and a head of steam. Definitely a dangerous brew...

I'm gonna go against the board, and say that your posts--all of which I've read--are legitimately interesting. Actually enjoy reading, tbh. But the bolded above is a non-sequitur, esp in context. Or cleverly professorial, or even monkish, at the very least. I mean, why be vested in anything (here, the Bills) if one has no "emotional connection". Anyway, let's not get into a to and fro. Honestly, I don't want that for the group. Point of personal privilege though... As someone who was/is a clever professor, but who spent 10+ years in the (recent) wars: Sometimes, ya gotta absolutely--no sh*t, right goddamn now--pick your side, and start slitting fuc*king throats. @hondo in seattle and others probably know what I'm talking about. So, I'm gonna stand w my brothers (and muppy) and slit fuc*king KC throats. (But...I'm fine w disagreement, he said sheepishly)
