This seems as good a place as any - The Athletic just released an article on Van Denmark https://theathletic.com/4797703/2023/08/22/ryan-van-demark-buffalo-bills-roster-tackle/ The net is that he has been unheralded his whole football career - undrafted FA got cut by Colts last year then signed to Bills PS (ironically Colts picking up Luke Tenuta on waivers from Bills, who they subsequently cut, opened up a spot) - and has started to put it together in his 2nd year. With Shell's retirement and Doyle going down he's getting a lot more opportunity to play both sides and challenge/unseat Ques ... ... Oh - and he used to be a baby model

I used the student discount when my kids were in college - for me at first they checked and I had to send proof, but after a while they just kept renewing it even after my kids graduated - from their perspective my kids were in college for like 8 years 😛 I assume the last years they knew they were done when their contract ran out so they were just trying to get any revenue they could

After following our last house being built and all the incompetent idiots associated with the builder and contractors, I drive through my neighborhood in wonderment that every day a house doesn't explode, flood, or combust

Ep 3 - Thought Cobb's comments to receivers about Rodgers was the most interesting part of the series so far - "It's all cool right now but I'm telling you one day he's gonna lose his sh!t" "If he don't trust you he's not going to throw you the ball. He does not like to throw interceotions - so if he can't trust you're going to run the right route he's not going to throw it" - Saleh's reading his Competitor speech off the monitor - nice editing to make it seem like everyone was taking notes and awestruck by this great orator of our time - Woody takes his jacket off to show his chain - cringe - Saleh 7 kids holy crap - Rookie show do-over - cringe

Whenever I see this topic title I immediately think London Fletcher

At least the poor start has shut up the obnoxious lady bills fan behind who wouldn't stop screaming before we sucked

Anyone know if there is a parking lot / tailgate location at stadium Bills fans are congregating

We are staying at Embassy Suites right downtown (few blocks from market square) starting Fri night. Any recommendations within walking distance?

You watch those panel shows now and you can just picture the pre-production meetings - "OK for this question who is going to just pick the most outlandish take to generate outrage and twitter posts" It really has become ridiculous - unwatchable And Sportscenter anchors OMG - the constant ridiculous banter and trying sooo hard to be witty/goofy, and always failing - it is nauseating at times. I can't even watch highlights anymore without wanting to mute.

Think they are holding back how they use Kincaid in the preseason - last game he was mostly just asked to block. Unleash him on the Jets

In Ep 2 Rodgers comes off complaining that a certain play doesn't work out of a certain formation and they showed a shot of Saleh who looked like a little scolded schoolboy. It may just be editing, but they make is seem like Rodgers is the alpha over everyone including the head coach. Sometimes Saleh and other coaches come off as giddy fans.

College was also like TV blackout for me. I said in the Paul Reubens RIP thread there were two shows I watched - we used to get up hungover Sat morning and gather to watch Pee Wee's Playhouse, and used to watch George Michael Sports Machine on Sun night. Do you remember what the jokes were you sent in?

Ep 2 - Nice to see the Rodgers infomercial continue - Saleh's punchable face quotient rising (if that's possible) - Every time I see Hackett first thought is "clown show" - Wow Bryce looks like a little kid - Nice peek at joint practice into how things will go once the pressure starts coming - Let's hope their season goes as bad as their rookie show

Yeah was kind of a cautionary, open-ended ending - after all his substance issues to have the last shot of him sitting there with his boys drinking a beer. I did think he came of really well in the interview portions

Just get the freaking McCourty's off my screen

Another example of the D throwing different things like they have all camp - here rushing 3 and dropping Settle into coverage

We are going up to Buffalo for a wedding later this month and last week my wife went ahead and bought tix for the Pitts pre-season game on the way up. When she saw comment about Allen playing in a preseason game today she excitedly said if Allen is playing one game that will probably be it.

I would think it just means he will be taking the kicks on Sat - then they may rotate others for the other games

Sports Illustrated had a feature article on Sauce not too long ago - have to admit seems like a decent guy and hard guy to hate - can still hate the Jets and Saleh tho 😛

Yeah kinda crazy for a reporter to report an int but not who actually got the int. From other reports think it was Neal

I've said on here before the four practices I saw I didn't see Morris miss a catch

I find Saleh to be a blowhard meat head - first ep doesn't change that for me

- What's the over on the number of times I need to see Hackett grab Rodger's a$$ - So much playing to the camera - and nice of Hard Knocks to make Hard Knocks such a big part of the story - This is not making Saleh any more likeable to me

The houses directly across fill up closer to 8:30 - there are houses in the neighborhood behind that might have room after

Need to bring in Parker Schnabel
