He could play fullback for Ivory, and occasionally catch a 2 yard pass.

I don’t subscribe to SiriusXM for sports. I have it for Howard Stern, though he’s not as good as when Jackie Martling was on the show.

So the new starting RB could be Chris Ivory?

What’s true and what’s proven in court are not always the same. See OJ.

If found to be true, Beane needs to stick to his “no controversy” policy and get rid of him. Otherwise he’s a cowardly hypocrite.

It’s a sad day in America when the people with the money can dictate how the media should report about them. The modern version of company towns from the 1800s.

So he was one of the most read, but not a lot of people were reading his content? That means there are other areas of TBN that are doing worse, and he was doing the best job of getting people to read. And if an estimated 200 subscribers left because of one columnist, it’s more likely they don’t like the paper in general and are using that as an excuse. There’s so much more to a paper’s content than one sports columnist.

The Future is Now...sitting on the bench as the 3rd string quarterback.

Had a 1972 Buick Skylark back in mid 80’s. Going to work in the morning up an inclined bridge that had a stop light on the other side. Light turned green, gave it gas, and the car wouldn’t go forward. Turned out that the transmission wasn’t working in forward, only reverse worked. So I had to go backwards as far right as I could on bridge, wait for traffic to pass, and drive backwards down bridge until I got to level ground and could park it. Then had to walk about 10 miles on shoulder in dress clothes in summer (pre cell phones) to get back where I could call someone for assistance. Another time the tie rods on a van give out just as I turned into my driveway, causing the wheel to collapse into the wheel well.

Torrey Smith has become the first player from the Eagles’ Super Bowl championship team to react publicly to President Trump calling off the team’s visit to the White House. Smith now plays for the Panthers. “So many lies smh,” Smith tweeted. “Here are some facts: 1. Not many people were going to go. 2. No one refused to go simply because Trump “insists” folks stand for the anthem. 3. The President continues to spread the false narrative that players are anti military.” The President cited the national anthem as the reason for canceling the visit, with the Eagles expected to send only a small contingent. It is not yet known how many players intended to make the trip. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/06/04/torrey-smith-refers-to-president-trumps-statement-as-so-many-lies/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

Their issue is with a president they perceive as sympathetic to racists, and who came to political prominence by pushing the Birther conspiracy. Since the Bills don’t have a chance, heres to the Eagles winning next year so Trump can have another tantrum.

I’m annoyed by every bozo who’s annoyed by the players kneeling, so you should then have to pass the money on to me. Everyone knows why they’re kneeling. Some would rather follow Trump’s lead and twist it because they don’t want to address the real issue.

His honest assessments when some wanted puff pieces will be missed. I enjoyed his days on WGR.

My dislike of Boston teams started with the Celtics, when they were just a bit better than the Braves and would beat them in the playoffs. Then the Bruins joined in. I used to like the Red Sox of Carl Yastrzemski. And I didn’t mind the Patriots until the Belichek Brady era. So now I dislike them all, though I’d root for the Red Sox over the Yankees, but most others over both.

If a player from both teams kneels, are they offsetting penalties, so no difference except for fine?

Agree with those who’ve said the bigger issue of the demise of local papers is going to mean less scrutiny of local issues, and more dependence on generic national stories. Less information results in a dumbing down of voters who vote on style over substance. I always enjoyed Jerry’s willingness to rip the scab off sports issues, and missed him when he stopped appearing on WGR. But his passion is basketball and baseball, which unfortunately are not the top sports in Buffalo. I worry about our dependence on all things electronic. We’re only one good EMP pulse away from everyone scrambling to museums to get the old hand crank printing presses out and finding cars without electronic ignitions. I ask my son who does web design, what skills do you have to survive if the electrical grid went out.

Zay Jones thinks that’s crazy.

The biggest issue has been QB. The Bills not making a better offer to trade up to draft Ben Roethlisberger.

Kim taking charge might be the owners sending a bigger message; that this alleged behavior won’t be tolerated, and there will be a woman in charge to reassure the women in the organization that she will ensure a safe workplace.

They must feel confident that they don’t need him anymore to sell lemons as lemonade to the fans.

Just don’t let Brandon Beane pick for them, he’ll take Rasmus Allen.

No, I’m saying I would rather they let the Cards trade up for Allen and the Bills paid the lower price for Rosen.

No, I’m saying the Bills could have got the better QB like the Cards ended up with at a lower price. Now the Cards have lucked into the better pick thanks to the Bills. I’d rather the Bills got Rosen with the moves the Cards made. What you call bias, others would call having a unique perspective on the effect certain words have on those targeted by them.

I thought there was another Buffalo station that talked sports, WECK with Brad Riter and Nick Mendola. Isn’t that where the Buffalo News sports reporters sometimes appear? Re: hosts calling to trade up for QB and then saying they gave up too much. Their issue isn’t the trade up, but who they picked. They didn’t think Allen was worth trading so much for compared to the other QBs, including Rosen. And after seeing what Arizona gave up to get Rosen, the Bills could have done the same at less cost for a more NFL ready QB.

1. Their issue isn’t with Allen per se, but with the people who traded up to pick him. So when Allen was interviewed, they weren’t going to take it up with him. Like it wasn’t CJ Spiller’s fault when he was drafted when they didn’t need a RB. I’m glad that they did question him on his racial comments that were revealed. Schopp is sensitive to the issue given his adopted black children. If Beane was on, they’d question why not Rosen, or Watson or Mahones last year instead; more NFL ready QBs. Or how the big hands in bad weather argument doesn’t pan out if you look at the actual weather most Bills games have had. 2. Sal is always reluctant to criticize the Bills since he’s the sideline reporter and has to interact with the team. The hosts respectfully disagree with some of his views when he’s on, but they realize he’s never going to outright say the Bills are wrong, so why push it. And Sal does acknowledge that he understands that many fans disagree with the pick. 3. They get some wacky callers who think the Bills can do no wrong, when history shows otherwise. The argument that the scouts know more than the hosts so they should shut up, while the record shows the Bills have had some terrible draft results.
