The other classic Donahoe moment is the "Save your postage" response that my buddies and I still quote to each other... https://buffalonews.com/news/donahoe-gives-bills-a-vote-of-confidence/article_17b3956a-7603-51f1-8488-1d3382b8b97f.html

Yeah, I think this may end the player "boycott" of the offseason workouts. They were already warned in a memo 2 weeks ago that this could happen. Quinnen Williams had it figured out:

This is like saying "I should have 'invested' in Medina Spirit this weekend". This isn't investing, it's gambling.

Washington was allowed to walk in the offseason Donahoe took over, so they are both on him one way or another. Pat was the one who went to his office and begged for them to match the Vikings offer so he could stay in Buffalo. The difference was about $750,000 iirc. Tom said no, Pat left for Minn and teamed up with Kevin Williams to become one the NFL's most formidable interior DLs. Meanwhile, ol Whitey decided to pair up Sam Adams with.. *checks notes* Tim.. Anderson...

Man this is a great (horrible?) list. I'll play too! Letting Pat Williams walk to the Vikings over LESS THAN $1M difference in contract.

I am disappointed I missed out on the era where I'd get actual paper stock certificates.

I, and everyone else who needs to get a head start on planning road trips/taking time off of work/building cache with the wife, cares about the schedule being released as early as possible.

How much trouble is XRP in with the SEC though?

Yeah, there are a lot of different variables that could drastically change the trade value. Whether we could work out a long term deal. IF Beane would even want to do that. etc.

I knew YOU wouldnt let that Whaley statement stand very long.

I have no idea what his value is, and threw that out to get the discussion going. 4th or lower sounds better than a 2nd to me! 👍 My entire thought process was "Well, he's probably better than Freiermuth"

Gonna stir the pot here: Is there another A-graded draft in the last 3 years? Or does Whaley have the only one?

Sounds better than my WAG of a 2nd rounder. Maybe they settle for a 3rd?

Now that we've exercised the 5th year option on Edmunds, we could always tag Hurst next year if we need more time to re-sign him. A 2nd is a bit high for what could possibly be a 1-year rental, but I dont want to throw any long term money at him until we see him perform in our offense. But I also wouldnt hate it if we made the trade and immediately inked him to a 3 year deal.

2022 2nd rounder?

Big successful hits on 3 of 6 picks, and at key NFL positions? That's a solid A.

Interesting. Eagles traded out of 70 Giants jump up to 71 and snag Aaron Robinson, CB, UCF Detroit stays at 72 and picks Alim McNeil, DT, NC State Eagles end up with Milton Williams, DT, Louisiana Tech So I wonder if the crew was upset that a Divisional rival moved up and stole their guy. Or if they really wanted McNeil at DT who went right before their pick, and then settled for Williams. Or both.

Well... unless they negotiate a new, long term deal. 5th year options are now fully guaranteed.

As posted elsewhere, FOUR of our draft picks from this weekend are older than Edmunds. Let's give him all 5 years and see where we're at.

While most of us assumed both of these would happen, it was interesting to keep an eye on and even more so that Beane waited until the very last day to do it. For different reasons. For Josh, good to see it triggered and I expect it will become part of the new deal he is about to sign (this month?). Which will allow us to spread bonus money out over a longer term and reduce the hit. For Tremaine, it gives him some time to fully develop and see where he ends up. I dont expect a 2nd contract for him until at least after this season. If not after his 5th year. edit: words

Yeah, I saw those recent comments too. Those two know a lot, but they are also 90 and 97, and may be all out of "vision" for the future.

While I'm not averse to BTC/Crypto, I think this is a little too "loving" of a summary. It can be called inflation-proof, but it (BTC or any crypto coin really) can be easily manipulated by a few anonymous, foreign, SHADY entities. If anyone doesnt think a huge portion of the BTC market isnt held and controlled by Chinese and Russian criminals, then they are fooling themselves. The biggest issue facing BTC isnt normal economic stuff. It's when the hammer drops on its use in laundering tons of cash for foreign enemies.

Just for some perspective, here is a list of who IS on the Wall currently: https://www.buffalobills.com/team/alumni/wall-of-fame For some reason I thought Schobel was already up there. Need to get him, Kyle, and Fred Jackson up. Not a lot of players from the drought years should go up. But I'd give it to those 3 and Jerry.

A year or more ago, I would have agreed with you. But now too many big/REAL players have invested heavily into it. Not just Musk and his personal money. But banks and corporations.

Absolutely.
