  2. Leonard Floyd is better than Bill Brasky.
  3. Mama don't let your Cowboys grow up to be singers.
  4. Looks like the national anthem is an omen to the Jets season. Complete fail.
  5. The fact that the Bills took 2 WRs in the 1st 4 rounds (Burkett & Reed) says that's not true. Outside of Jerry Butler they didn't have much, and Butler hadn't played a regular season game since October 1983 on the day of the 1985 draft. The veteran WRs going into camp in the 1985 season were Butler, Mitchell Brookins, Julius Dawkins, Preston Dennard, Byron Franklin, Bobby Jones, Mike Mosley, Eric Richardson and Craig White. As a rookie, Reed moved right into the starting lineup with Butler.
  6. HBO's Real Sports did a segment on this. It appears to be a common problem that isn't discussed enough. This happens about twice a week, about 100 times a year. Here's a 2.5 minute part of that segment. The point of the story was to say that every place where there is sports activity needs to have a defibrillator on hand so that when someone goes down they can get immediate care. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=918818882471735
  7. If you get lucky you can go to Niagara Falls in a Uber driven by Ed Kilgore & then get a tour of the falls with Howard Simon. You might even pass Jerry Sullivan hitchhiking on Niagara Falls Blvd.
  8. Because some guy on the internet decided to say it.
  9. There are some really bad QB contracts out there, and then, and then And then along came Jones Tall thin Jones Slow-walkin' Jones Slow-talkin' Jones Along came long, lean, lanky Jones
  10. The OP wants to hire a 72 year old guy who would be on cruise control more than Rex Ryan was.
  11. Or convert it to a dart board.
  12. I knew the story was fake because you can't have a heart attack if you don't have a heart.
  13. I know this isn't going to go over big with most of you, but judging from the replies to the price increase, many of you must have been mentored by Ralph when it came to finances. The hard copies when bought on a daily basis have cost more than this for years.
  14. Our local paper in Albany charges $27.72/month. The BN price looks like the going rate. I get 3 papers Albany Times Union $27.72, Buffalo News soon to be $28.99 & Newsday $10.76. That's $67.47/mo. To put it in perspective, I used to be able to get all 3 printed editions in downtown Albany 15 years ago & when I add in the Sunday papers the cost was pretty close to what I'm paying now in 2023 for the 3 papers on-line editions, although I suspect Newsday will be going up soon. The only thing that might keep the price down is that Newsday is competing with the NY Daily News & NY Post, while Albany & Buffalo are basically 1 newspaper cities.
  15. You can claim it's the same league, but it's not. If someone bought the intellectual property of the AFL from the NFL & fielded another minor league, calling it the AFL, if they started claiming a history that included Lou Saban, Jack Kemp & Cookie Gilchrist I doubt a single Bills fan would take them seriously.
  16. Woods played in Super Bowl LIII with the Rams. He had 5 catches for 70 yards and rushed once for 5 yards. Since the Rams lost 13-3 he obviously never scored a TD.
  17. The name may be the same, but this edition of the USFL has nothing to do with the USFL of 1982-1984 other than using the team names while not playing in most of the cities. It's like saying the current edition of the ABA has the history of the ABA where Julius Erving, George McGinnis, Spencer Haywood, Moses Malone and other NBA stars began their careers. Minor leagues that use old leagues' names do not have anything to do with the old league's history. If I change my name to George Washington, that doesn't make me the 1st POTUS.
  18. This is what happens when you lose a fine jersey salesman like Case Keenum.
  19. Orton quit months before the Bills signed Tyrod. It was EJ who Orton replaced.
  20. The Oakland Coliseum is a dump. It is so bad that both the Raiders & A's (deal reached to move, technically still Oakland but not for long) went to Las Vegas for new stadiums. I've been there for both baseball & football & it was just as big a dump for both sports. Look at the prices on the secondary market. That's proof that enough people can afford tickets. .
  21. One more thing: If the Bills were behind in the 4th quarter, they had virtually no chance of winning the game. In 3 seasons, I can remember only 2 games that the Bills came from behind in the 4th with Tyrod at QB.
  22. When the Bills signed Tyrod I was convinced that he would start because of the rave reviews from his Ravens teammates. I was happy that he beat out EJ & Cassel & figured he was the best we could do. I actually mail ordered a T-Mobile tee shirt from the internet and wore it in the house while watching games in 2015 and wore it to the 2016 opener in Baltimore. By 2017 I was calling him " a wheel spinner" because as long as he was the Bills QB, we'd be spinning our wheels in mediocrity. Obviously Beane felt the same way and went for it all in the 2018 draft. Tyrod was a good bridge QB until we got someone in management who could recognize QB talent in the draft. That was not Nix or Whaley. The bottom line is Tyrod is a top level backup who can win 8-10 games if everything goes right, but if he's your starter he's a guy you'll always be looking to replace.
  23. Marv had the best answer, it went something like this: The best way to never lose a Super Bowl-Don't get in. The Super Bowl years were a lot better than the drought or the past 29 years without getting in.
  24. As soon as I saw the title my 1st thought was It's not the Bickering Bills until a coach's head goes through a wall.
