Yep, probably a 30 minute show with 30 minutes of donation asks.

Celebrating the life and legacy of Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson, Jr. WNED Friday, February 2nd 8pm-9pm

Uhg, if you went to Canada after you died that would really suck! So many spoilers in this thread...

Agree 100%, this is actually the first WGR roast that I want to attend. I think it will be great hearing some of the things you never knew about him and I am sure there are some great "out of character" stories that will be told....

Rita on Dexter.

Charlie Harper

On the review, it would have been great if the ref said "upon further review, this is an all-star game, good goal"....but of course, that would never happen.

1995-96 season, Pittsburgh vs Dallas. I volunteered to bartend that day, figured I would make some money instead of paying attention to that POS game....

No, just going to donate to one of their charities...

Correct, Eric has teamed with the Children's hospital to raise money. He used to have a site at ericwoodsfoundation.org, but it no longer exists.

It will be between you, SaviorPeterman, and Dunkirk Don...

Maybe not die, but risk paralyzation...

It has to be an older player, I am thinking Wood or Clay. McCoy is at the Pro Bowl, so if injured, that news would have gotten out.

article from the summer... http://billswire.usatoday.com/2017/08/17/bills-seemingly-embracing-analytics-with-moneyball-approach-how-does-it-work-in-nfl/

Former Buffalo Bills receiver Donald Jones is leaving "The John Murphy Show" that is carried on WGR 550 AM radio and MSG after two seasons. Mark Preisler, executive vice president for media and business development at Pegula Sports and Entertainment, confirmed Jones' departure in an email. He said Jones will be leaving in the coming months "to pursue other opportunities closer to his home in New Jersey. This was Donald’s decision. We thank him for his contributions and wish him and his family nothing but the best." Jones, who joins Murphy on weekdays in the New Era Field studio to discuss the Bills from a former player's perspective, has been commuting here from his home in New Jersey. I think he was brutal to start and got better, but should be pretty easy to replace...

no worries...

His best play... Yes, that is me....

i added key points from the article and changed the title as to not waste too much of the non-BN-subscribers time....

I did the same thing. I didn't see the big difference I was expecting and it took much longer to shave. I now go through Dorco, the blades are cheap and do a great job. I think someone on here mentioned in a similar topic about Dorco being the company used in the dollar shave club (not sure if that is true though). At any rate, I think they are great. http://www.dorcousa.com/for-men/

I am assuming they couldn't find and better option at QB last season. So maybe they figured with a one year and out QB, they would wait until the QB situation was more stable/long term to build the offense up. Unless something was said by one of the coaches, I am not sure about the "all the catches" DiMarco was supposed to have, his career high was 13 and that was his only double digit reception year. Tolbert was a waste on the field, but a great locker room guy that McD was familiar with. For a new head coach, those types of players are important in year one. Benjamin will be good next season, but they do need to find a deep threat to open up the middle of the field for him. I am really not concerned about their ability to build up the offense at all now that Dennison is gone...

Key Notes... ***General Manager Brandon Beane will hire replacements, although the next department's structure isn't clear. ***Buffalo's first attempt to establish its department will be viewed as a failure. ***As expected, the Bills never would divulge how Lyons or Linton (the 2 people in the analytics department) crunched the numbers. But Russ Brandon gave a glimpse into their approach for a June 2016 story in The Buffalo News. Brandon conceded it's fair to say Lyons' work pertained more to the Bills' ticket pricing than with X's and O's. "We look at it from a holistic perspective," Brandon said. "We hired Michael to oversee all of our business analytics as well. He is a crucial part of the mix between marketing and content and the decisions we make in all platforms of our business. "Most people assume the analytics person is driving data and running it down the hall to the GM. But it's a lot bigger than that." In a quote from Brandon's interview that didn't make it into the story, he noted Lyons' role in generating football data was predicated on the direction given. "With Jim Monos and the player personnel department and with Rex and his coordinators and [contract negotiator] Jim Overdorf and his department," Brandon said, "Michael is able to provide information that is almost custom to what they may or may not be looking for."

http://buffalonews.com/2018/01/24/bills-subtract-analytics-staff/ What's the opposite of robust? A long-running joke about the Buffalo Bills has been about their much-heralded "robust football analytics operation," a phrase used by Russ Brandon in 2013 to indicate grand plans to bring a progressive and aggressive approach to football. Five years later, the Bills have blown it up.

Not enough untapped upside...

Good idea....Bills fans are starting to get a good reputation, this would pretty much put an end to that nonsense...
