The way Rodriguez just smiles at him while tapping his chest is just *chefs kiss.*

So why was Amari Cooper traded twice in his prime?
RkFast replied to PoundingDog's topic in The Stadium Wall
I understand. I just mean they aint all....Stephon Diggs. Its their job and their profession. And like any other workplace, theres a whole host of personalities. The example I use above is a real one. If you recall the Vikings at home heartbreaker of a loss a few years ago, the next day Von Miller was at his presser and was going on about how he, and Josh and a few other players and their girls all went out after the game to some popular high end Italian place and how much of a great night they had. I mean...the entire Bills Mafia was seeing sideways from an all time terrible (regular season) loss, meanwhile a lot of the team was out having a good time. Their approach isnt ours becuase its their job. YES, they work hard and are passionate about their craft. But there is this transactional element becuase it is their job. And just becuase some players are more "transactional" than others, that doesnt make them substandard or bad players you dont want on the team. -

I dont know if its a "smear job" or just looking to poke holes in a trade that even the Pope feels was a great move by the Bills. But either way...players come in all shapes and sizes and demeanors. As long as they perform. I mean...we just got done with a player who was such a nutjob he would rant to the poor slob on the sidelines holding the tv microphones about the game. Now we have the opposite and thats a "problem" now? As far as his "catch percentage", Cooper is not perfect but his overall production is great. ALways amazing how some fans want the players to just be PERFECT in all respects. Its so weird. -

I have to be honest, I really dont care about a player's "passion for the game", whether he's a football lifer or just in it for the paycheck. The fact of the matter is that for most players, its the latter. Not that they dont care or are lazy, but at the end of the day, it is their job. Its why that even after tough losses...and the fans are all pulling our hair out over and yelling about it here or on WGR...the players and their girls are partying it up at a club somewhere or having a top dinner and fine wine at Buffalo's best restaurants. -
Tampa Bay Rays - Tropicana Field destroyed by Hurricane Milton
RkFast replied to Gregg's topic in Off the Wall
I know I should be sad and empathetic about this but Im not. TB is a terrible franchise that cannot turn a profit to save their lives, a big reason why being them playing in that terrible stadium that was put in a terrible location. A giant mistake all around that I hope they figure a way to rectify. -
“First and foremost we believe in the receivers that we already have in the room," head coach Sean McDermott said. "We'll see when Amari gets here and how we can get him up to speed and get him integrated into what we do and how we do things. It's never about one guy. We're thankful to have him, but it's never about just one guy. It's about the team, so we're anxious to get him on board here and get rolling." Good ole McPetty. Five snaps in Week 10 incoming.

Im not so sure he plays this week. Remember who the Bills' head coach is? Who CANT see McDermott going on to Sal's show Friday and blathering up some corporatefootballspeak about how Cooper needs to be acclimated into the team culture and playbook and we will see when that happens theres no timetable trust the process blah blah blah?

Inexcusable that the Bills dont have someone fast enough to catch Henry in this spot. Fire Beane. And fire McD for reccomending Beane to ownership.... ....and change the combination on my luggage.

Was watching a game the other day from Oakland. Loved the old school banging of the drums and the horns and most of all the QUIET. Contrast to my CitiField which resembles Carlito Brigante's disco on most nights, with the noise and the flashing lights CONSTANTLY.

You can keep your Ohtani. For my money, the "greatest offensive player" in the modern age is Rickey Henderson when he was on the A's (and Yankees too). Yes, Ohtani has a ton of steals...but NOBODY created absolute HAVOC for a defense and pitcher like Rickey did when he was on base. Get off my lawn.

Joe Brady has changed the season's expectations
RkFast replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall
What if your "defensive coach" is every bit of the X&Os genius on HIS side of the ball that the "offensive geniuses" are on theirs....AND....he runs one of the best programs in the league in terms of consistent high player development and cohesion? -

Have you ever quit following a sports team?
RkFast replied to Miyagi-Do Karate's topic in Off the Wall
Im a Bills, Mets and Knicks fan at at some point Ive "quit" all of them, only to come back. Sometimes it was becuase the team was awful (Mets) or a plyaer I loved retired (Patrick Ewing) others becuase "life" got in the way (Bills, when I was working Sunday's AND the team was bad, which means only 1 non-Sunday game/year). In all cases I came back and Im proud to say NOT just becuase the team got better. With the Bills that happened when I stopped working and could actually watch live and Mets/Knicks when I decided to catch a game in-person and I was reminded me how much I loved those sports...and started watching again. I will say, pursuant to May Day 10's and Ned's post above, Im somewhat close to bailing on the whole NFL. Hard to do with the Bills where they are....but the "NFL Product", as a whole, is just terrible these days and getting worse IMHO. But thats a subject for another thread. -
Tua’s Broken Dome (now being placed on IR-out at least 4 games)
RkFast replied to RunTheBall's topic in The Stadium Wall
This is the part that is being missed big time. The news today is that hes going to see a "concussion specialist." How about going to a "dont use your head as a battering ram specialist???" Concussions...any injury...can happen on the freakish of plays, sure. But part of the equasion has to be the athlete controlling what s/he can to avoid these things from happening in the first place. That fact seems to be getting glossed over. -
Post a clip of a scene in a movie/show that got you emotional
RkFast replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in Off the Wall
The way the Lambo double-clutches down a gear and then that glorious 80's music kicks in. Man.....Gets any car guy's blood going. Having fun with this thread.... The musical score as a whole in this movie, a lot of it taken from Holst, is off the chart. The very ending had people in the theaters standing and cheering. -

I just always appreciated the authenticity of that movie because it was shot on an operational carrier, no studio, no CGI movie trickery with the flight scenes (for the most part). In that video at 2:19, the Corsair launching blows a tire, which resulted in the barricade scene earlier in the film...and the producers just worked it into the storyline. You can see the puff and the wing dip. -
