  1. You know, Albany, I never thought about this before and I obviously haven't looked anything up, but I wonder if he is the most successful Harvard athletic Alum, ever? Successful with respect to the sport an individual plays, I mean. Not like someone who played baseball for a year and then hit it big on something else. I just don't know anything about their sports history.
  2. Ryan is currently 50th in yards (29,357) behind Roman Gabriel and ahead of Jake Plumber. 4,110 yards gets him ahead of Phil Simms at 35. He has 190 TD passes (53rd), and 22 more gets him to Terry Bradshaw and Matt Hasselback at 35, but Flacco is there too and will be moving up, as well as Russell Wilson ahead of him still playing.
  3. I know this isn't likely, BL, and I know he probably has a lot of successful classmates from Harvard...but I love thinking about some of them who may have laughed at him and thought that he maybe wasted his education. ...yeah, $58 million by the age of 36 is pretty darn good, regardless of your career choice.
  4. In the most critical position in all of sports he will likely never accomplishing anything of great merit. However, he will likely walk away, let's say at the end of 2020, in the top 35 in NFL history for both passing yards and TD passes, while also pulling in about $70 million dollars. That works. For him and his family...yep, that works. Of course he is not great, but there is nothing for this guy to be ashamed of in his career. EDIT: and as others have stated it may have been a mistake for the Dolphins to sign him as he may win too man games. For a team that is is likely gunning for first overall next year he may end up winning them 5.
  5. Oh man, if I had a nickel for every time I was asked to make a court appearance and be tested for sexually transmitted diseases I would have 0 nickels.
  6. NSFWM Not safe for work...maybe? No profanity in it. Edit 2: Well..maybe one.
  7. The thing is, LS, this is his third act since high school. i don’t know how many curtain calls are left, especially with meddling talent.
  8. You won the internet today, Ridge. Savor the flavor because a new day starts in a few hours. You made a mistake, BG. You left out the part of the article where it says, " his fine will likely be missing out on millions of dollars as, at the very least, on a 5-8 year career as a back up QB in the NFL." Man...how could he just pi** that away. It's still amazing to think about.
  9. They can take my Bills gear, Huds, when they pry it out of my cold dead hands and peel it off of my rotting corpse. Hopefully many, many, many, many, many years into the future as it would be inappropriate burial attire for someone who died of natural causes, quietly and painlessly, in my own bed.
  10. Yeah, or the word "furious" is...is just kind of dumb in this context. Unless the Bills had a deal for the Colts pick and then were screwed out of it (which also is unlikely) I don't see how you can be furious at another team making a move that team needed to make and you didn't.
  11. Gruden in Washington doesn’t have to worry about such things as what players are going to be on his team. Bruce Allen takes that weight off his shoulders. What a good guy Bruce Allen is!
  12. @BarkleyForGOATBackupPT5P I mean it was like a weird sort of foggy dream...it just wasn’t real. My best friend, a member of this Board, his nephew was going to school with Ngata, knew him a bit and Ngata was jazzed about the idea of coming to a town like Buffalo. When the Bills pick came up you could almost see 30 something men doing cartwheels in a basement knowing for a fact...for a FACT, that the Bills would pick Ngata next. It just made too much sense... ...and then... ...and then... huh... huh... ...?... ...oh, yeah...”you can never have enough dbs” thing...is a real thing...that an old man or some other old man or someone with power over the decision decided was more important...then like, you know...a sure fire, SURE FIRE future pro-bowler on the Dline.
  13. Jeepers, I know I am in the minority here, but I honestly think Shady is going to run for a hair over a thousand yards and catch 40 plus balls.
  14. I am as worried about Rosen being the QB in Miami as I am about being carried away by army ants.
  15. I am at Disney world this week with my family. i appreciated you guys doing the heavy lifting and keeping me up to date as I can only scan my phone briefly. eball, in typical Bills fan fashion I please with day one, or pre-true free agency, but I’m taking a wait and see attitude. GO BILLS!
  16. JM, great post. However, the thing is you may not get elite players, but you are likely to get players you want and need. Everybody isn't going to say "no." Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde came here and that was when things were worse. Were they as known comodities then? No, of course not, but they are now and we are better for it. AB wants the money and the limelight. No, he is not going to get that in Buffalo. Hell, he may not get that in B-Lo even if we were 10-6 last year and our QB threw 30 TDs. Please keep in mind the team was stripped, AND had a 50 million dollar dead cap space hand tied behind its back. They don't anymore more. Is there any denial that this team will be more talented than last year's team? Even moderate gains will be gains, and our QB now has a year under his belt. They will get help where needed. There is no reason...THERE IS NO REASON NOT TO BE OPTIMISTIC. To the point of my post, where are the sabres right now? Other than the 10 game streak for the fourth time in five years they are worst team in hockey. I still think that is where most of his angst is coming from. I don't know whether you follow JW, but I do and it was getting kind of tiresome, both on the morning show and on twitter.
  17. BC, I like Jeremy White, but man has he been pissing and moaning on the radio and on Twitter. Honestly, too, I think he is taking his Sabres frustration out on the Bills. How can anyone be complaining about the direction and potential of this team? Everyone knew last year was a step back year and we made it through and look like we have our QB, but people like Jeremy want to put them in the same boat as the Sabres. They are one year removed from the playoffs, have 80 million in cap space, have 10 picks, have the number 2 defense in the League, have a surprising stud like Foster on the offense, and NOW are going after people...so get over it already. I can’t imagine if the Bills finished in last place 3 out of 4 years what he would be saying.
  18. @Alphadawg7 Alpha, in light of possible recent events may I change my comment that Jones will be the Bills leading receiver in 2019?
  19. This doesn't make any sense. They are flush with cap space, too.
  20. Why in the world would he go to a team with a potential hall of fame QB and who just made the playoffs last year? A little short sighted on his part.
  21. YOU'RE INSANE! ...ahhh, I'm sorry, Brian. I didn't mean that. To date I literally have no solid proof that there is anything mentally wrong with you. I just disagree with that move. Sorry for overstepping my bounds. It's the late Teens and it just seems to be the decade for it.
  22. 1 year, 83 million dollar deal.
  23. Seriously, how much would you freaking love it if out of no where one of those guys said, “I think Josh Allen is gonna be a smoke show through the air in 2019 and I’d love to be part of it. I’m shuffling off to Buffalo and grabbing me some tds.”?
