I wear a counterfeit Bruce Smith Silver Anniversary SB25 jersey (but a home blue kit even though they wore white) to many home games...and after stretching it over winter layers and rambunctious tailgates for over a decade now, the seam up one side is split nearly to my armpit making the whole thing open like a smock or something. And even so, I'd rate the build quality above average. No piece of apparel should be subjected to this relentless level of BASF stress/durability-testing. It lives in a pile somewhere all offseason. Then I find and resurrect Lazarus in the dryer just in time to represent each September, with a little more bonus lateral venting each season. Gifted a handful of those Super Bowl 25 Bills jerseys (with the Silver Anniversary shoulder patch) to friends and family. Well, at least once they were released from their long customs delay at the Peace Bridge lol.

UPDATE: ISRAEL v IRAN - Ceasefire reached?

It failed because it was an insane plan, ill researched and led from Washington. I am extremely familiar with the scheme and what was going to happen if things went poorly on day two, which they probably would have. I don't know anybody "romanticizing" anything about it. -
An off-season deep dive: Alex Smith underwent a total of 17 surgeries on his right leg after suffering a devastating compound fracture during a game in 2018. The injury occurred during a sack, and it was compounded by a severe infection called necrotizing fasciitis. The surgeries were necessary to save his leg and life, and they included debridements to remove infected tissue and limb salvage procedures Following the initial surgery, Smith developed necrotizing fasciitis, also known as flesh-eating bacteria. Smith spent months in the hospital and had to use a wheelchair, walker, and crutches before finally being able to walk again. Despite the severity of the injury and the long recovery process, Smith returned to the NFL in 2020 and even started a game for the Washington Football Team. inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as part of the 2024 class last December. The honor comes three years after earning his spot in Utah's Hall of Fame. When NFL legend Alex Smith and his wife, Elizabeth, learned their daughter Sloane had brain cancer, they felt like their world was crashing down. “You think you have been through a lot, but when it's one of your kids, nothing prepares you for a moment like that,” the former NFL quarterback said. https://www.si.com/college/utah/football/alex-smith-and-wife-reveals-8-year-old-daughter-had-third-10-hour-brain-surgery

Operation Eagle Claw didn’t fail because we lacked guts it failed because it was a logistical nightmare with no margin for error. ‘Would’ve been something’ doesn’t change that 8 Americans died and zero hostages were rescued. Real leadership means learning from disaster, not romanticizing it. -
The first band I ever saw live was local boys BOC (Twisted Sister was the warm up and on the cusp of MTV stardom!). . That's a nice polished version of ETI, but the band lost their mojo around the time I first saw them and this version is better imo. And even better from the same album:

Thanks for the kind words but not impressionable at all anymore. They seem to think that Trump wasn't going to bomb anyone during his 2nd term, even though he did in his first one. Or that he wouldn't bomb new places. -

If we can sort of set aside his ridonkulous rushing TD total in '24, Cook was actually more productive overall in '23 in 3 fewer starts, and especially more productive in the passing game. In 2024, Ty Johnson really ate into Cook's passing volume following his own tantalizing 100% catch rate in limited 2023 action: 7/7 (LOL) for 62 yards, 2 1sts, and a TD. Johnson still has not recorded a dropped pass in 2 seasons with the Bills, despite an uptick in targets and a jump in depth of target. And he can pass block, apparently, at a higher level. The RB room in 2025 is probably as close to McBeane's ideal vision as we're going to get, unless there is some absolute RB UNIT (big Wisconsin/Alabama style back) available on late day 2/early day 3 of the 2026 draft...to replace Cook and spell Davis on early downs and short yardage.

Alex Smith - 6 years later showing how remarkable his comeback was

Got any idea what probably would have happened during operation Eagle Claw if we didn't have that disaster at the "Desert 1" refueling site in April, 1980? I do, and it would have been something. -
McDermott not in Top 10 of NFL coaches per PFF.

The 2017 Bills were the worst point differential AFC team to make the playoffs in almost 30 years. His decisions to trade Dareus and bench Tyrod blew up in his face big time. They needed some incredible luck to back-in at 9-7. That was just a fluke. But you need a little luck when you are a nobody HC trying to turn around a team with a terrible losing culture. They got it. Since then he's proven he's organized and his process works if you have a great QB. That should net him a top 10 ranking. -

Oh c'mon - @Doc's a good guy even if he is just a little impressionable. No matter how hard he tries, he’s never going full MAGA like the Three B’s: - @BillsFanNC @B-Man @Big Blitz. -
Trump’s glorious Golden Age of America is here
Big Blitz replied to Homelander's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
"When we recently went overseas to the NATO summit, I had senior staff in foreign governments come up to me and ask me how he achieved the 'Trump miracle' on his border, and could that be replicated in their countries?" "For individuals who don't work in this space, to have zero successful illegal entries in an entire month should be an IMPOSSIBLE achievement. There's a 2,000 mile border with one of the poorest countries in the world, and you have open travel from 150 countries into Central America and South America." "There are 2 billion people in the world that would economically benefit from illegally coming to the United States." "And through the deployment of the military, through the deployment of novel legal and diplomatic tools, through the building of physical infrastructure, through the empowering of ICE and Border Patrol, and the entire federal law enforcement apparatus, President Trump achieved absolute border security." "And now, once this legislation is passed, he will be able to make that with those resources permanent." -

Again, where is there war? And we were too afraid in the past to bomb inside Iran for fear of reprisal. That appears to have been unfounded. -
