Are you actually #######, or do you just play one on TV?

In the sunroom, clutching my "lucky" Buffalo Bills cloth football that I got at age 7 in 1972.....

He's from Hornell. My mother grew up across the street from him and actually used to babysit him and his (many--5?) siblings. I believe his dad was a heart doctor at the local hospital and my grandmother was a nurse at the same hospital.

We started the game down 3 starters in our secondary

I hate the Dolphins as much as the next Bills fan, but boy, is Alec Ingold easy to root for.....

You should talk to the Bills. They used to have folks who will meet you in the parking lot and wheel you into and out of the stadium. I used them with my dad before he passed away. They were great.

Good luck! My in-laws live in SB, so I’ve been there for games in the past. Unfortunately don’t remember specific Bills bars, but failing that, I’d just try a sports bar on State Street that has Sunday Ticket. Good luck!

I was not aware of the derogatory nature of the term in the UK—it sounds like it’s akin there to “R” word here, a word that immediately tells me the speaker using it is a jerk. I grew up in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s—back then it was slightly derogatory, but not offensively so. All that said, Brady has actually done lots and lots of charity work for years with the mentally and physically handicapped (it’s one of the few things I’ve admired him for) and I’m sure meant nothing derogatory by it. He’d probably be mortified that it could be taken this way. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little having to defend Tom Brady…..

Make of it what you will. I’m tangentially in this area, but have not heard of these guys. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/arctos-talks-buy-minority-stake-220331673.html

A Yale guy if I remember currently

If you want my tickets send me a PM with your email address. Yup. I tried to lower the price, but no luck. I trust Ticketmaster as far as I can throw them.

Do you want mine? I couldn't sell them.

My feed is jerking around every play. The commercials come in fine, though....

I’m kind of surprised he voted against—I strongly suspect this is all about liquidity for owners like him (and Mark Davis) who don’t have large assets outside his team. This allow them to get liquidity out of an illiquid asset. Can come in handy for things like family succession or divorces even, as well as just general funds for high in the hog living expenses.

And I take back my original post—just learned I was thinking of another Rochester Guelli, so my bad! But glad to hear he’s a good guy!

Somewhat related question--I understand that the game is being shown on broadcast TV in the Chargers' home TV market. I'll be in Santa Barbara on Saturday. Does anyone know if the Chargers' home market extends to SB?

Hey, CGF—hope you’ve been well! And best of luck the rest of the way (just not today!)

And a bunch of those losses are to teams we are clearly better than and shouldn't have even been close.

You mean you didn't love McD saving the Eagles by gifting them and their kicker a TO to compose himself? Very sporting of him, I thought....

What did you think of the genius calling a TO to give their kicker a chance to compose himself on the 59 yarder? That was mighty nice of him, I thought. Sporting even.

Absolutely brutal. Why the heck do you do that when he's got a 60 yarder. Make him kick it in a rush. Idiotic. A fireable offense, in my opinion, especially after he due the exact same thing vs the Broncos just 2 weeks ago.

Yes--on that play he was making sure Mixon wouldn't run through Joseph's arse....

I noticed the same thing. Let's play 10 yards off to cut off the deep route on 3 rd and 2.

Indeed--our meal must have tipped the cosmic balance--either that or my forgetting to bring my Buffalo Bills colors cloth football I got for Christmas in the early '70's the year I got all Bills stuff for Christmas and which I've kept alI these years later and grip tightly every game I watch at home! That must have been it!
