dollars 2 donuts

Thank you, TNM. Thank you very much.

Eball, thank you. Do you know if the home games will be broadcast live on WKBW? If memory serves me I think they were last year due to the lifting of the blackout rule, but I am not sure. Again, the live BC doesn't help out of town Bills fans, but I was just curious.

I know, right?! I truly could see us with an opening day rating of 79. BTW, '94 Bills one of the highest rated Madden teams of all time. http://maddenratings.weebly.com/madden.html

Quinn, I couldn't have stated it better myself! Seriously, I just have no idea about some of that stuff. Excellent job, though, man. Excellent.

...and they tied for 14th in the NFL. Tied with Chargers and Texans. I am not thrilled that the Titans are ahead of us at 82, but I'll still take it. I honestly can't remember the last time we were in the 80s for an overall rating. https://www.easports.com/madden-nfl/news/2016/madden-17-best-afc-teams Pats and Carolina top each Conference, both with 87. EDIT: The Browns (73) and the Bears (74) are at the bottom of each Conference.

Yeah, but when Madden 17 comes out in couple of weeks I bet you will be in the bottom 10.

Man, Ari, he'd have that money even with his bad 4th quarter if that wr is just able to reach out and grab that pass at the end. He had nothing but green in front of him.

Based upon what I researched and saw last year, and this deal, by the end of 2016 he will have made 51 million dollars playing football. Considering where he started, seriously, not bad. As I have said on previous occasions, this is a guy whose services are going to be in demand, primarily as a back up, probably until his late 30s. Even if he is overly mediocre this season, he should be able to earn 3-4 million as a back-up for the next few years...if he wants.

The Jets will not sign Fitz. They will have a horrible season. ...and the Jets will have Chad Kelly as their opening day starter in 2017.

Ya know what...this. I think this is fairly accurate. Additionally, Yolo said it well, too, concerning the place for this in college and high school. This game has become so big that there is just something very passe about cheer leading in the pros.

The team that is the furthest driving distance away in the above scenario (which I've always loved), Cincy, is still closer the closest rival in our current division. I'm for this because it just seems like the division we should be in. I actually can envision possibly going to all division road games in the same year.

This still makes me laugh. What has it been, 20 years?

For those of you who weren't around to see that Bears defense trust us that did...wow. It was wow.

RIP to Buddy and condolences to the Ryan. Minor point, which I believe most around here already know, that Buddy was on the coaching staff of the first UB team that received a bowl bid, after which they turned it down. EDIT: I stand corrected, they turned down the bowl bid in'58 and Ryan did not arrive until '61.

Actually they are 24th in income. They are last in value.

Still remember the 80s, when the Ottawa Rough Riders made all the way to the Grey Cup with a 5-11 record...and I rooted for them like crazy. Moon and Eskies were just too much.

For me, 290 to south on the NFB. A little bit of a drive, but worth it to me. Thanks, rags! NOTE: I have forwarded that article to a few people. Nice for people to have handy whether they are visiting or just locals.

Request from BPA and the rest of you. Do any of you know of any sub places around here that have: 1. Shredded Lettuce, and 2. Oil that tastes like something a little more than oil...like if they add malt vinegar to it? Been years since I've had the "perfect" sub, assorted, stake or otherwise.

I've been counting down since we were behind the Royals and Blue Jays. I knew awhile go that Number 122 was ours for the taking.

I still wish he would have bought the team for 1.2 billion. I know he is a billionaire, but for all the plans he may have in place for downtown Buffalo, or a new stadium elsewhere, I wish he had an extra 200 million in his pocket. Edit: 1.2 being a seemingly sufficient amount ahead of the other bidders.

This is such a beautiful post...it truly is.

Glad that he is signed. More importantly: that shirt is AWESOME!!!

Say what you will, CBF, but you can not knock our consistency.

Gotta tell ya, it is pretty darn tempting.

A 28 year old Bruce Smith would be getting no less than 6 years, 102 million dollars, with 60 million guaranteed. ...no less.
