I've never called 911. Called police non-emergency number a couple of times for this or that. Had 911 called on me, when a middle-aged woman with her head in the car perusing her GPS ran a red light and t-boned my daughter's car as she was turning L on a green light. I was sitting in the back seat, right at the point of impact. They tell me I said "that car isn't going to stop" and kid sped up, trying to get out of the way. Almost worked. I was knocked out, spouse called 911. Just then a Fire and Rescue truck pulled up. They must have witnessed the whole thing. The other driver claimed that my kid ran a red light and turned in front of them. The police report doesn't name the F&R as witnesses, but it was very specific and definitive about what actually happened.

Wow. The 911 repeatedly on hold thing is disheartening.

Whatever happened to the turkey burgers at SJF? Can we talk about them?

The bit about the contract is straight, but the number of snaps is incorrect. He's been primarily a STer, 328 defensive snaps, 384 ST snaps #STsnapscount

That's always been his story, right? He plays well and knows the scheme well enough that McD had him competing with Dodson and Bernard for the MLB job in 2023. But he just can't be counted on to be available. IMHO the Bills would do well to give roster space to someone less injury prone. He wasn't available for more than 1/3 of a playoff game in '23 - one of the reasons we called AJ Klein off the sofa into the MLB spot vs KC. According to Spotrac, $2.9M for 26 NFL games (712 snaps) to date. Roughly $4k per snap Peanuts compared to what Von got

I picture this going down like training a cat - everyone else in the room has a spray bottle

Well, no, it's an NFL insider report. We have to look carefully to see if that's the real Jordan Schultz - that does appear to be his actual twitter handle, so far so good. But then there's the point that neither Hairston nor the Bills have confirmed and frankly, I would be surprised if anyone is willing to diagnose definitively until swelling goes down and they can do another MRI

The thing with Von's ACL IIRC is that the initial MRI didn't show a tear, and the Bills suggested he finish the season playing in a brace Then he went down to Texas to get a meniscus clean-out procedure during the bye week and the doc found a tear on the table? That's how I remember it anyway.

"Cap" = lies "No Cap" = straight dope, truth

Right, I think that's the key point here. She isn't being paid to perform hard-hitting investigative sports journalism (if those words go together) She's basically one step away from a team PR person, and her job is to provide "personal interest" and "entertainment" content. It's when she's moved away from that into attempting to be a serious sports reporter that (IMO) she falters.

I don't think he's actually employed by SI, is the thing. They have some sort of blog-ish website "On SI", where they recruit people to write about their teams. I'm not sure whether or how it's paid? but it does seem like as much of a claim for being credentialed as, say, the Niagara Gazette or Batavia Daily or Syracuse.com.

No, pretty sure Terry was all in for Allen

Basically how I see it is, they're confident in what they have with Hamlin. They want to give Bishop every chance to show he can step into the starting role. I don't think that means he's locked in as the starter, exactly for the reason you say - if he doesn't step into it and step up, it will be "next!"

'K fair. But I also remember everyone trying to "read the tea leaves" during the battle for starting MLB then getting pantsed when the starter was named.

Figure it out after pads go on

It's...day 3 of camp? Are you ready to say "Tre White appears firmly entrenched as the starter" based on the same data? Is it just me, or is Allen lighting into a receiver relatively new?

Did Mitch retire? Right. Keep in mind that even Mitch Morse, Mr. Classy, Mr. Unflappable Professional, went after Wilkins like a Bull-dozer chasing a Cow-dozer after Wilkins shoved Josh And that was the reaction of the reserved, restrained classy OLman.

Could be neither, right? Jones fracture is the same injury Sammy Watkins had. Didn't he reportedly take his boot off and train before he was supposed to per medical advice? Resulting in it not healing properly and requiring further treatment? Or he could be a lazy POS. Have details come out? Not rehabbing at the facility actually can not be the reason for Diggs losing out on a workout bonus. Contractually, the players have the right to rehab where they choose. The workout bonus is usually for the player participating in voluntary OTAs, though. So Diggs could lose it if he chose not to come to the facility for OTAs. No, I can't imagine. An extra half a million would make me show up.

FIFY

But you realize these aren't the same thing, right? Josh has not been good connecting on Go routes his entire career. There are various reasons for that, including the winds in the stadium where the team plays half their games and the fact that he really hasn't had a WR exceptional at running those routes, tracking and adjusting on the ball, and turning on an extra gear when needed. On the other hand, Josh has been one of the most accurate QB in the league at 20+ air yard passes. I think he was 5th or 6th last season, 10th or so in 2023 - right after Mahomes.

Can you say more about this? I have never Door Dashed.

This is such crap. Yes, Josh is a Superstar who I'm sure could take his pick of any number of willing women. Glab is a married woman employed by the team. I may not *like* her as a professional sports broadcaster, but there's no reason to think she's an unprofessional sports broadcaster. Stow it.

I'll give Maddy a pass for that one. In hindsight she was speaking truth about His Diggsness in a casual convo with a peer (that was caught on a hot mic). It was a truth that made him look bad, so he had his team strong-arm the Bills PR into making her grovel. Which, even at the time was a worse look to me than if Diggs had just laughed it off. He's a superstar, and any "ding" of his brand coulda been popped out using dry ice without scratching the paint. Instead he chose to flex on the "little people" working for the Bills, with the same result we'd have if Big Ed Oliver were to arm-wrestle a 3rd grader. She's not antagonizing Josh, he just couldn't figure out what she was asking. Rather than spitting out some meaningless pablum, he basically asked her. Note: I'm not defending Glab as a journalist here, I don't think she's very good. But Fair is Fair.

2020 Stefon Diggs was OK (also had John Brown looking pretty good for 8 of the first 10 games of 2020), Gabe Davis caught some deep balls. But to your point, neither elite. And in 2021, without Brown and with the Ghost of Manny Sands gimping through the season, defenses began to key on Davis.

It's a bit strange because it's not that far from the Dolphins training facility to major hospitals like U of Miami - 10 minutes If he's stable, you think they'd take him by ambulance Dunno, maybe the Dolphins keep a medivac chopper on standby or traffic just sucks that time of day or something.
