Chad Johnson says Stevie Johnson the best route runner ever seen
Mr. WEO replied to Lafromboise's topic in The Stadium Wall
Stay on script!! As a team, NE regularly shut out Revis. The Bills, as a team, he shut down more than any other in the league he played against. -

Would an actual elitist spell it “whare”? I think not. Stolen elitist valor. SAD! -
Wow. My player is Roger Kochman. Sensational rookie running back in 1963, until he absolutely tore up his knee. I couldn't remember if I'd posted about Kochman in this thread, so I searched for him. I haven't. Search yourself, and look at all the threads that 's Kochman's been mentioned in. Threads about obscure players, threads about really ugly injuries, threads about one-year wonders, all kinds of threads where Kochman turns up. I remember him because I met him a few months after his injury. He was dating the sister of a friend of mine, and I was visiting my friend while Kochman was hanging with his girlfriend. His knee was all wrapped in gauze. He kept it elevated. He said if he kept his foot on the floor, after a while his knee would start bleeding! In those days, if you had major knee surgery, your career almost certainly was over. Kochman already knew he was done.

House Passes One Big Beautiful Bill

Yes, and the Senate Majority is absolutely free to override her by eliminating the filibuster rule. Which they don't want to do for obvious reasons. This was totally predictable when the Rs tried to jam all sorts of tangential things into a budget resolution act. Big. Bloated. Ugly. -
We will have Cook. The Bills, unless Josh gets hurt, will win 11 minimum and I reckon 13 or 14. I have them in contention for the #1 seed. It's a tricky home slate but the Bills are good at home and while I don't think they will go unbeaten there I'd be surprised of they lost more than 2 home games. Their road schedule is very favourable IMO. I don't see any team as having caught up. I think New England is the one that has taken a step. But if you are honestly looking at that roster and seeing a team that can contend with the Bills in 2025 I don't know what you are seeing.

Great stuff in here about Stevie and Fitz. I found Stevie maddening. Too inconsistent. But that's probably unfair; as someone said, three 1000-yard seasons on those teams is a nice accomplishment. He was amazing coming off the line. One of his great moves caused one of the great disastrous plays in Bills history: The Chiefs 100-yard pick six thrown by Jeff Tuel. The play was a quick slant to the receiver flanked right. Whoever the receiver was got a good inside release and had the defender on his back. Tuel read it and threw. However, Stevie was in the slot. His route was to take a jab step right and then go left to the back of the end zone, dragging the defender with him. Stevie put this monster fake on his man, and the defender backpedaled so hard that he fell down when Stevie cut left. The defender got up just as Tuel released the ball and was right in the line of the throw for an easy interception. Instead of leading 17-3 in the third quarter, the Bills were tied at 10. People blamed Tuel, but it wasn't his fault. His read was the inside release of the intended receiver. If he saw it, he was supposed to throw. See it, throw it. That's what he did. Stevie wasn't supposed to leave his defender in the slot, but you couldn't call it Stevie's fault. He just ran the route the way he ran all his routes, with great separation off the line. It just happened that this time the move was so good, his man fell down. Faked him out of his shoes, so to speak. Stevie was wide open in the back of the end zone by the time his man got up, but Tuel never looked at him. Tuel wasn't supposed to look at him if his primary receiver was open, which he was. Unhappy outcome all around. -
Not on point, but ... Actually, your real estate is pretty reasonable in comparison to most other Sunbelt cities. The median price of an existing home in Denver is almost $200K higher than in Orlando.

Stryker is the best. I have 2 of their knees -
So let me play devil's advocate here for a moment. (I'll note that I don't disagree with seizing the moment to take out Iran's nuclear program, as long as the Admin officials who were sent out to say "this is not about regime change" are right.) What does "energy independence" or "energy dominance" (in Trump's usage) get us? If it isn't about getting involved in the Middle East or choosing sides in the Iran-Saudi proxy war, what is it about? Why is it an important goal if we are still - for whatever reason - going to pay undue attention on a region that is otherwise pretty marginal to the world (and specifically US) economy?

T master replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall
I know this definitely sucks then you add into it that he has to use his other arm to play catch with his kid but he knew the risk and took it and I'm sure he has enough money to afford the best doctors in the world to make it much more tolerable and not to mention it probably makes it feel better every time he looks at his bank statement . -

It definitely sucks what these guys go through, especially the TBI stuff. But, they know the risks and get paid obscene amounts of money. It's a choice. -
Drew Brees reveals right arm 'no longer works'
Augie replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall
When my son was in high school he played QB and would want to throw the ball around, which I LOVED, but I had a partially torn rotator cuff. I couldn’t throw it back overhand, and it only went so far underhand. So on longer passes I would punt the ball back and he would field them. That’s fielding a lot of punts, and he happened to be the punt returner and never lost one all year. (That is despite not calling for a couple fair catches that were clearly in order! 😂) -

Chad Johnson should know better. Stevie was a freelancer. -
Of course it is. Sports IS entertainment. However, I’m willing to bet that fans of teams that won championships were more entertained during those runs than fans of teams that fell short. Saying SB’s don’t matter or that they’re bs is nutty.

another excellent share from Billstimelander. Something or other about Trumps tariffs. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻🤦🏻♂️ https://www.forbes.com/sites/emilsayegh/2025/06/19/cyberattack-on-whole-foods-supplier-disrupts-food-supply-chain-again/ On June 5, 2025, a cyberattack forced United Natural Foods Inc., the primary distributor for Whole Foods Market, to shut down its systems and halt deliveries to more than 30,000 grocery stores across North America. Nearly two weeks later, the company is still operating on a limited basis, relying on workarounds and manual processes. This was not a minor glitch but a direct hit to the digital backbone of the food supply chain.
