  1. All of the above. A millionaire bellyaching about a billionaire. Meanwhile the taxpayers in Hamilton County are paying for 75% of the cost of the stadium renovation. I remember those days!
  2. I think Rob Johnson is the NFL's all-time leader in running out of bounds for a sack, instead of throwing the ball away and lowering his precious completion percentage. The Bills O-linemen used to love that...
  3. The point I was making is if Micah provides the club with grounds that prove "conduct detrimental to the team" they can fine or suspend him. It's unlikely but possible. Regardless, Micah has zero leverage at this point. He'll be fined one game check (not negotiable) for not playing in games... and he could lose a year of service if he doesn't play in at least 6 regular season games. At this point he's better off not acting out like a child... whatever he ultimately chooses to do. If he were to take the high road at every juncture, more people would be sympathetic to him and he would incrementally gain leverage. If he acts like a baby, the reverse happens. In the current situation it would serve him best to be winning in the court of public opinion.
  4. Funny synchronicity right now... I read your comment which was funny standing alone but just as I started laughing my wife's phone got a Bills text alert with the "hey-ey-ey-ey" from Bills Shout... kind of like a Hey-oh!
  5. Should we take roll call? Not visiting.
  6. I couldn't care less and I despise the Cowgirls but by accounts, he was doing this for most of the game. To me, this is conduct detrimental to the team and all that implies as far as his contract is concerned. Micah had better be careful about how he acts out.
  7. This is a bit like McDermott using the 9/11 terrorists as an example of good teamwork... a misguided attempt at making a point. When a child is placed in foster care it's usually because that child is removed from a household due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment. The announcer was trying to point out how far Ray Davis has come in his life and what odds he's overcome.
  8. Jerry's guitar is pretty emotive and captures the sadness of the song... I never quite understood Janis' treatment of the song.
  9. "The great Kris Kristofferson" is exactly true... he's written some of the greatest songs in the last 50+ years. For my money, the best version of Me and Bobby McGee" is the Grateful Dead version. But @Thrivefourfive was wrong and misleading... The Ringer is absolutely free and has high standards for their content.
  10. There's a lot of information being spread in this topic but superseding much of it is that NFL teams are not required to disclose injuries until the week of week 1 of the regular season. Speaking only on the issue of confidentiality, I'd want the Bills to be the most secretive team in the NFL. It makes me laugh, all these posters whining that the Bills haven't updated the Tre White situation... as if they're being denied their god-given right to know. Simply for the sake of confidentiality (not process) Vrabel should be upset. I've heard that some organizations will release misinformation to figure out where leaks in the organization are coming from.
  11. I'm curious by what you mean when you say "not exactly free?" As for the quality, I prefaced by saying essentially that no ranking of 32 teams is going to be solid writing... it's too abbreviated. It's a Cliff Notes. If you want to evaluate the quality of the writing, look at one of the profiles: https://www.theringer.com/2025/08/20/nfl/cj-stroud-houston-texans-new-offense
  12. Love him or hate him, Bostonian Bill Simmons produces good content and his website, The Ringer, is free. You can't ask for much more. Today he has separate pieces ranking every NFL Offense for 2025 and every NFL Defense for 2025... https://www.theringer.com/2025/08/19/nfl/ranking-every-nfl-offense-2025-buffalo-bills-baltimore-ravens-49ers https://www.theringer.com/2025/08/21/nfl/ranking-nfl-defenses-2025-seattle-seahawks-houston-texans-philadelphia-eagles Both are written by Sheil Kapadia. Because they list every team, the pieces are abbreviated but it's good fodder for discussion. More importantly, The Ringer is free and is an above average site for sports and pop culture articles... so bookmark it. And God knows you guys need something else to chew on... I can just hear the gnashing of teeth while reading through the same old stupid topics here... Please enjoy.
  13. I was gonna post this too and it's funny... but I'd bet anything that the Bills pick up all and any expenses for their "Legends of the Game" honorees.
  14. For the click averse: "Boomer Esiason is in the Cincinnati Bengals' Ring of Honor, but attending this year's festivities could come at a price, he says. The former Bengals quarterback and 2023 Ring of Honor inductee revealed during his Aug. 22 episode of "Boomer & Gio" titled, "Boomer's Ring Of Honor Sort-Of Invite," he was invited to the team's Ring of Honor weekend in October. The catch? He'd have to pay for his own hotel room." The email that he received from the Bungles read: "If you are traveling in for the weekend from out of town, we have secured a block of rooms at the Renaissance Hotel at a preferred discounted rate. Rooms are limited, so please book directly for the early and the best rate. We look forward to hosting you in The Jungle for an unforgettable weekend. Don't hesitate to reach out to me or another guy on the staff with any questions. Thank you. And Who Dey."
  15. The Bills have absolutely nothing to gain by disclosing Tre‘s status. Zero. On the other hand, they can sit back and see if any communication leaks spring out, so that’s certainly a benefit to the team. I hope he doesn’t find piloting aircraft to be too nerve-racking because we all know how he sweats… so after your two preseason games, you pretty much got their defensive line figured out?
  16. You're kidding, right? 🙂
  17. FWIW in his The Athletic article on Tuesday, Joe Buscaglia had this to say about Elijah Moore: "Moore has had a really nice camp and gives the Bills a strong backup option at slot receiver should anything happen to Shakir, and Moore could even play Z-receiver and return kickoffs or punts." We'll see soon enough because cutdown day is in 5 days... Tuesday August 26th.
  18. While pre-coffee this morning I saw a headline "Niners trade for WR Moore" and my first thought was "the Bills traded Elijah Moore?!" 😀
  19. Of books for a certain age range, that's my favorite book of all time. It made a huge impression on me when I was young and is a big reason I'm such a nature lover and outdoorsman. I've bought that book as a gift to my younger family members as well as for my friends' children.
  20. What does this mean as far as when he was actually on the Bills? I've heard of him!!! Actually, I've never heard of him...
  21. Mostert signed with the Raiders. He's the actor that starred in the Hallmark Original Movie, "A Flash of Scarlett." That was Louis LeBeau. What are you implying????? From watching Dumb and Dumber my takeaway is that I'm not supposed to like the French. Another friendly fire incident? Taylor's gonna take the rap again...
  22. I'll stand by assessment that McDermott is a poor speaker but that doesn't make him a poor coach. And though I've always felt that fire and brimstone speeches are overrated, in a big game with evenly matched teams the players will just have to find motivation from elsewhere, IMO. He's not gonna light a fire under anyone's ass... at least not mine but hopefully he's a good enough coach to get them to the Super Bowl. Yes, the Peregrine Falcon's range is every continent except Antarctica. One of the most noteworthy aspects of the species, aside from it's speed when stooping, is that like the Coyote, it has become a very successful urban dweller, often living on skyscrapers and feeding on pigeons... like the one that lived on Buffalo City Hall for years. I'm pretty sure that was a turkey vulture that they were showing.
  23. I'm not one to say if Dolac is better than Buffalo Joe but I've heard that he is and he's a more decorated player... two-time All MAC, MAC Defensive Player of the Year and consensus All-American for Dolac versus FCS All-American honors for Andreessen. Also the reports from Los Angeles is that Dolac's looking good with the Rams. Regarding Buffalo Joe, no player is a better example of how bi-polar this forum is. Two weeks ago he was an ascending player and today he's a special teams player at best. Personally I think Buffalo Joe has great promise and will continue to improve... and it wouldn't surprise me if he was a starter someday, somewhere.
