Regarding your 2nd item, "It's the Browns!!"

Chances are, if they do trade a bundle to draft a QB and he starts, it could happen, especially with all the other weaknesses.

OMG, I had that exact same radio

How long before they stop taking cash?

My nightmare for the end of American society is that another country, (China, Russia, North Korea) hits us with a giant electromagnetic pulse from a space satellite which makes all of our computers, cell phones, etc useless and they just come in and take over because we can't do anything without them.

I've always been good at sports/games involving accuracy and it does come naturally. I guess that's what they're talking about.

Uh, how about Dallas? Calvin Hill, Duane Thomas, Tony Dorsett, Herschel Walker, Emmitt Smith and E.Elliott. However, after thinking about it more, it's tough to beat a history of Cookie Gilchrist, OJ, Thurman, Fred Jackson, McCoy, plus a few good years each from the likes of Joe Cribbs, Travis Henry, Willis McGahee and Marshawn Lynch. That's a lot of 1,000 yard seasons. I believe I recently heard some discussion about the Detroit Lions not having a 1000 yard rusher in several years, with the last one being Reggie Bush.

I saw a Bills game and a MLB game in the Seattle Kingdome and they were definitely different experiences. On top of not seeing the sky and feeling the outdoor air, the acoustics of the game action, like a batted ball, were weird.

Great post, Old Timer! From another Old Timer

Okay, buddy, here's the facts: I started with the 1980s since everybody knows the Dolphins won every matchup in the '70s and included games played Nov 1st and later. Starting with the 1st game in 1985, the Dolphins have visited 23 times, including 2 playoff games, and the Bills record in those games is 16-7.

Myth of "weather advantage"? You might want to check the history of Miami visits in late November and December. The Raiders and Chargers are other teams that struggle in winter weather. That being said, I relocated many years ago and haven't attended a game in Orchard Park since Thanksgiving weekend of 1996 but that game is imprinted in my memory as it was so cold, even my family and friends who were residents wanted to leave after the 3rd Qtr. I think it would make sense to go with a dome. I'm sure some decision makers in Minneapolis may be 2nd guessing their replacing of the Metrodome with an open air baseball stadium.

I hear you. He's 34 years old but remember he sat behind Favre for 3 years. Still he's taken a beating for a decade. You could probably still get 4 very good years out of him.

Queue up the "OTAs started and players X, Y and Z aren't there" threads.

It's been awhile but I remember like 15-20.

That's what I don't get. The original contract had him at like $6.5M, which was reduced to $4.9M, but he got a $1M renegotiating bonus to put it at $5.9M. So all of this BS is over $600K?

And the Rams thought so much of him that they let him leave and then traded for Brandin Cooks.

All of these pre-draft visits with RBs has me wondering. If the pre-draft visits were unlimited, I wouldn't think twice about it, but with the limit of 30, and several being used for RBs, what could be on the horizon (#25?)?

Again, these are the Browns. Regarding the difference of opinions, I still strongly believe that the head coach and GM have to be compatible and work together on these decisions. That's why I like the Beane/McDermott duo. I'm sure they disagree at times, it's only human nature. What I don't understand is this talk that a GM gets the 53 and the coach works with the players he's given. That seams asinine. The QB position is the best to analyze this. If the coach plans to run a West Coast offense with short accurate passing, it would make no sense for the GM to draft a Josh Allen, who has a rocket arm but struggled with touch on shorter passes, because he thought he was the best QB. If a coach wanted to be able to run a system with a run-pass option where the QB had the freedom to run with the ball, it would not make sense for a GM to draft a Josh Rosen or Rudolph, both of which are said to be pretty immobile. You can apply my opinion to all other positions like a GM drafting a LB who's a better fit for a 4-3 when the head coach/def cord want to run a 3-4 defense. Now, all that being said, you have to remember what Beane said about NOT drafting a player for a system because he could likely outlast the coordinators and head coach so it's best to draft a player who would be adaptable to any system. Man, I think these guys definitely earn their money having to make these decisions.

If if you want a high QB then they should sign the party boy Johnny Football.

Yeah, it's usually the other way around. A team will give up a first for the following year with position unknown for the opportunity to get a low 1st or even high 2nd to get a player they want in the current draft. Perhaps Maryland-bills-fan has a different interpretation of high and low picks?

And there is an Elton John tribute coming up.

In today's NFL QB marketplace, giving up an arm and leg to get an arm is expected.

They're close now at 23.

Every time I see his name, I think Kelly-Moore paints.

He's a man!!
