It may have ended badly, but it was always going to end badly. And I'd say it ended far better than most expected it would. Quick, and relatively painless, and only after a short time behind bars. After a 30 year run of paying underage girls to poop on you through a hammock, what more can you ask for? But again, maybe just pay your taxes and not have to worry about it. 🤷‍♂️

Anyone else with the headline "found dead in a Spanish prison" I'd be like "WHOOA, what happened?". But with McAfee, my initial response was "...that's it?" This guy sure... lived life to it's fullest... to say the least. Certainly took the Cole Beasley advice of "rather die living", and usually made as much sense as that line. But so dumb to have to go out like that over wanting to avoid paying a little bit of taxes. I guess at 75 years, he had a good run.

I had to adjust his "Chewing" rating from a 31 to a 32.

For what it's worth, I cut Beasley from my Madden team during his meltdown, and replaced him with Sanders, and haven't missed a beat. Still undefeated.

Folks will go to the games either way. I've always told the "I'll stop going if it's downtown/domed/no tailgating" crowd that the NFL wont miss them if they stop going, and plenty of other fans will take their places. Works both ways. Although, those of us who think the stadium should/will go downtown usually arent threatening a boycott if it doesn't. Everyone is already used to it this way. Win-win for me really. I just see a downtown, multi-purpose development as a step forward for the city. But if they want to keep the football team in the 1950s, then so be it.

Agreed on no retractable roof. It's a nice thought, but it's more fantasy. A retractable roof adds a ton of cost (likely another 30-40%), they NEVER work well, and it absolutely would not be used like most Bills fans hope. They wouldnt be able to open it for snow. Only on totally calm, clear, sunny days. So what's the point?

Indy and Minn should be the examples we are shooting for, imo. Lucas Oil in Indy did a good job blending into the industrial area. And Minn's new stadium is gorgeous from the inside, and with that wall of windows almost feels like it's more of an open-air build.

You havent been trapped on a dance floor with them then! 🤣

With all due respect, my man, this is the dumbest ***** I've ever seen you post. There are TONS of masculine homosexual men in the world. Rednecks, Cops, Military, Athletes, Hunters, Tradesmen, Farmers, etc, etc, etc. Again, check out Rugby. Surprisingly large amount (almost majority) of gay players.

Even if the guy wants $100k, just pay it. It's (another) bad look for Snyder. Just buy the name and move on. Wouldn't have even been a news story. But now we all know he got out-maneuvered by some nobody.

And Eli's funniest SNL moment... Attorney: To prove that, I'd like to refer to the defendants internet search history. Eli: I'd rather just confess to the murder

All good, and your point is a good one, and should probably be said here. Just wasn't what I was saying. You need to know more gay men, or make more friends with Rugby players.

No duh. But when you have a secret you are worried about getting out, and think that secret could change how others think of you in the hyper-masculine setting of the NFL... THAT can affect your attitude. That's why I said I wonder if he was acting like a jerk because he was overcompensating for a secret, or if he is just normally a jackass.

As long as they can control your thermostat remotely, you'll be just fine down there. Secondary thought: Can they use those thermostats to mine crypto?

Interesting. He always came off as kinda an over-aggressive jackass thinking back the the Cleveland Browns Hard Knocks. Although, there is no way of telling whether that was due to him overcompensating for his secret... or if he is just a jackass regardless. It's not like Ryan Nassib was Mr Personality or well-liked either.

More so just to save them the reps and fatigue, I'd think.

You can think that. I get my info from someone who works at the Project Management company which has overseen stadium builds in Atlanta, DC, and Seattle, and who was personally in the preliminary meetings up in Buffalo which Byron Brown and other city reps were also part of. The city is just another layer. State, County, City. All need to be on-board. State and County get theirs no matter which site they choose. Might be easier at the OP site since most of that is county-owned land. But the downtown site has plenty of parts under the city's jurisdiction. I know for a fact there were things the city reps brought up which threw a monkey wrench into the process very early on. Wouldn't be surprised if that was still occurring.

This is why the Pegulas waited until the team was winning to start all of this. "Threatening" that the team will have to move works far better when we're a perennial playoff contender than in year 20 of a drought. Heck, some of us may have welcomed the break from the team had this occurred in the 2010s!

Did they?

Nothing is decided yet. Not even close. IMO, this is all negotiating through the media with the city. "We'll just stay in OP, AND move the team away for a year or two. Unless we can get a deal done downtown..."

You're both right. Josh's recent injury, Tre White basically "opting out" for the week, and the uncertainty of the weeks scheduling threw us off our game. Meanwhile, all the backlash helped steel the Titans that week and they showed up ready and PO'ed, and knocked us around. Not to mention a gameplan that had Josh throw his first pass of the game to.. *checks notes*... Andre Roberts (which lead to a pop-up interception). There were multiple factors that played into us getting handed our worst butt-whooping of the season at the hands of the Nashville Plague Rats.

That's not the kids' room tho. It's an extra/guest room for sleepovers when they have their friends over, or family kids come to visit. These are the real kids' rooms

This sounds more to me like a tactic for negotiating with the city on the new downtown stadium. At least I hope it is. Let the city know you are fine with staying in OP. And whip up some angry fans with the idea the team might have to play away from the city for a year (or TWO), because "well, we couldnt get a deal done downtown, so we have to move while we re-do the stadium in OP". If they really are serious about an OP stadium, its a big mistake imo.

He is. It's more obvious than ever now, and it was never really hidden before. It was more just "sweetly stupid" when he was putting out garbage music with lyrics that any 7th grader would be ashamed of, or being the annoying/non-funny guy on the Dallas Cowboys All or Nothing (on Amazon, check it out). Hap has been nice in this thread and has given him the benefit of the doubt a couple times. But he's an idiot. Look. A lot of football players are. Always have been. And probably always will be. There are some really smart guys, but there are more "big, dumb animal" types. Cole is just a "small, dumb animal".
