I liked that you calculated it. But it was also funny at the same time. Maybe Brown wasn't always so far behind. I only watched a few of the games on all 22 because I did the free trial. So matchups in different games would figure into it. Maybethe ones I saw were when he was against an especially speedy guy. And it wasn't just him. On the other hand, watching on TV, you can only see what they show you. I noticed that the networks do not go out of their way to show viewers the big mistakes. Or how some guy is just getting beat very badly all game.

To the original point. In the games I watched on replay the bills linebacker pass coverage was sort of ceremonial. Or like our appendix, which is vestigial but no longer serves a purpose. They were so slow it was embarrassing and it is a good thing nobody watched the all 22. Seriously on some plays it was like watching a guy being covered by his much younger little brother. That is my way of saying I think Shaw's calculations for Brown are very generous. I think the difference with this new guy will be way more drastic. Night and day different. There are videos of this Edmunds running down receivers for Pete's sake.. From what I have learned he needs work against the run but against the pass this guy is already great.

I think he is the best example of how much a first impression can carry you far. He won the superbowl early on and has been much less effective ever since. He has also been a negative in terms of leadership and personality and obviously his off field behavior.

Somewhere in Connecticut... Mom, could you talk to dad? Why. Is something wrong? Well, he is doing his calculations again. And he has got out his slide rule and that mannequin. And well, my friends are coming over.

I say that because Chuck Pollock who is a good sports writer in Olean, and a friend of Terry Pegula's, compared Brandon to Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstien, Roger Ailes, Kevin Spacey and more. People who who are criminals and who used coercion, force, or drugs to subdue people. Maybe he is just an irresponsible jackass to write that but he never seemed to be one before. Those people were very bad and not just guys who couldn't keep it in their pants. So that is the most solid source that I got the idea from, that it is pretty bad what happened.

Indeed. It was me! I guess I am now a published author I am as confused as you are about what made the difference. I think it is as MrEps says, it wasn't news til he got fired for it. So to me the usual version of a story like this goes something like: Brandon was a dog and played around a lot and everybody knew it but it is considered personal. Then for some reason it either got back to the Pegulas who didn't know. Or maybe they did know but recently it became time to use it against him for some other reason we will never know. Then the "other issues" would usually be something to do with using his expense account to pay for dinners and such with his dates so his wife wouldn't find out. You know, the stuff wouldn't show up on the family credit cards and such. That kind of story is as old as the hills really. But what I wonder about is why in some quarters they keep suggesting it is much, much, darker than that. Even in that same article Tim G says employees are relieved it is over. Why would they care so much? I dunno. Maybe we never will. So my question there was more about how are they managing to keep a lid on it, of there is really more to the story.

I only subscribed to be able to read Pete Rosen's stuff. (Pete is known as "the obnoxious Rosen" to distinguish him from the much more pleasant Josh) In my opinion aside from Pete's work, this is the only article that rises to pay status. This article by Skurski is very well done in every way and shows lot sof work. Most all else you get is just the same Sully or Bucky half day of typing about some trivial rant or insult or opinion. So you aren't missing anything. But if they start to produce more work of this quality it would be well worth subscribing.

No. It was reported that the Jets owner had instructed his staff to be over the top, extremely thorough in evaluating this years QB class, or else. They poured a ton of resources into it. So they were extra prepared because their owner opened his checkbook and told them to be ready

This is one of those, not what he said posts that I been noticing so much on here. It isn't my post this time around so I can be objective Why are there so many posts on here that respond to something that the poster being quoted, didn't say?

Something about this article nagged at me a little and I didn't know why. I returned a few times to read it again and now I know what it is. These guys sound like people of average intelligence who don't know a lot more than me. What mean is, if you talk to a mechanic about how he sets up a race car, you are going to learn some things that you wouldn't just already know. Like how they use different tires on which wheel or how they angle the wheels in the alignment or how they set up the suspension to match a specific race track. Detailed information having to do with being trained to do a particular job. Or a landscaper will tell you what the soil needs and how they make it good and what plants do best in what conditions and all kinds of things. These guys sound like if I asked a builder about his business he might say: Well, we build the rooms which are usually square because it is much easier that way. Curved walls are harder so more expensive. And then there is a roof as you know. But we put shingles on the roof because otherwise the water still gets in you see? You need the shingles because the wood isn't water proof. And it doesn't end there. You see those half pipes at the edge of the roof? Those are gutters and we put those on to catch the water that runs off the roof so that way it doesn't just drip down all over and make a big mess. To me these guys sound like men of average intelligence who don't actually know very much. And I think Brandon Beane is going to mop the floor with these people because to me he seems to be well about average intelligence and to know quite a lot.

Dude. In 4 years they may be building a new stadium. There is no assurance that it will be built at OBD, right?

Yes, they did expect them to break the agreement because the local press has been reporting that this is the last year, and that they will buy their way out of it. There was an article saying exactly that just this week. And for all that time, a YEAR, the Bills said nothing. As has been their way. They have always ignored that sort of thing and just let fans twist and wonder. Now 2 or 3 days on the job and Bam, she says, nope it is not moving. That is why it is being reacted to as it is. Because it is different and it is good. But rather than ask and learn and consider all of that, you just come in and contradict. How come?

It is $5B and coming from her staff doesn't carry the same weight.

This is an uninformed statement. If you were aware of recent press, or even read this thread to become aware of it, or even considered for a moment that all of the opinions the other board members are expressing are not automatically stupid, bad, and wrong, but might actually be valid, your statement would not read as that of someone who does not know the facts and circumstances but decides to render a judgement away.

You touch on something important here. She just told McDermott he isn't leaving before the contract is up. She also made it clear that it is in her home town. Bottom line her eis there will be no dicussion about it he will have camp there, period. And she did it real nice and it reassures everybody, like me, that we still get to have it for at least 4 more years.

You wouldn't understand, or this is a troll post, because it is obvious.

HOORAY!!!! Gotta Love Kim Pegula! What a wonderful thing to address also. Comes right out and states clearly how it will be.

You state your case clearly which makes me able to clearly state my disagreeing one! So thanks! All I am saying is some of us think that "...grand theft charges and sexual assault allegations..." and a "..... failed a drug test at the 2018 NFL combine..." are worse red flags than a guy who wants to discuss philosophy at length or who speaks multiple languages. I myself am very curious why the NFL sees it the other way, and what their reasons are. Awww come on man. Do you know what the league minimum is? For the lowliest scrub? It is $465,000 for a year one drafted rookie. And I am supposed to worry about if they find a co-worker annoying?? Or I got a coach making 5 Million Dollars a year. Or a wideout making 14 Million dollars a year. I am supposed to set my desire as a fan to see a good player out there , aside, so that those guy won't be annoyed?

You have to know what you are doing to cap and post pictures like that. A professional could trace it down at least partially to where it came from, unless you knew what to do to prevent it.

He actually supported Allen if you listen to it

All that may be true and if it is I am glad for you. But, you can be trolled. You are basically waving your button around and all I had to do was push it.

Big talk. He is a 6 foot 4 inch elite athlete in superb physical condition.. You think he hasn't had to deal with judgmental jealous punks all his life? 2 seconds even if you were his age.

He would clean your clock in two seconds flat.

Look, I don't know about the Hockey end of it. But being president of an NFL team is really hard to mess up. You just have to sit and find places to deposit the money.

Gleep!! OMG that is a Horrifying mistake. I can't even post the lyrics here because I am worried I would take a penalty. With the Brandon difficulty the Bills posting this song is beyond belief. In the old days I would have called them and told them to get it offa there. But I don't have that ability any more. Best hope the other non-rap crowd don't look into it. Or again, maybe it is just me and nobody else will think it is a really bad mistake.
