I assume you're referring to Stat Boy I remember watching PTI when he was just stat boy. Its kind of an amazing story how they called him to fill in at ATH the day after the SB since every other 'big name' at the network was off covering the SB - and he did so well he just kept the gig. Reali is known for as being extremely positive and generous on and off the air and think he is a genuinely good dude. I give him credit for purposely turning the show from just a yelling match when Kellerman started to something a bit more structured and even thoughtful at times. Not sure why some people get so bent about the scoring thing - there really wasn't and specific system - just him going by feel - was just a device to add more entertainment (what if friends were debating sports at a bar and someone was sitting there scoring them on who was making the best points). Last few days I've watched all his interviews as he made the rounds. Even if I didn't watch it religiously lately it was to me still a fun distraction when I did (esp day after some major sports story). It's sad to see something that was part of your life for decades go away (for no apparent good reason - was still one of the highest rated shows on the network). I wish Reali well - he seems to have moved past acceptance phase and already is making moves to move forward with other projects/platforms.

The original host of PTI was Max Kellerman. Then there was a contract dispute, IIRC, and Tony Reali, who had been a fill-in host, became the regular host. Kellerman is obnoxious, but good at boxing commentary if you're into that sport.

Even during the Tuh-ROD era???

Stat boy? I always like the show. You just had to know the scoring was meaningless and just listen to the opinions of the different writers.

Stat boy! He was on the last few minutes of PTI telling the audience who erred during the show. I for one will miss the show. It was a heck of lot better than listening to Stephen A or the other idiots on ESPN. My wife actually watched the show so I think they forgot about the demographics there. How many other sports talk shows could bring females to the tv?

Stat boy; he started out as a fact checker for PTI and they would have him on at the end to correct their mistakes.

This is going to be a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong offseason!

sounds kinda Belicheck Bradesque doesn't it....lol

Nah, you got your sound bites wrong; that was Rex Ryan, if I recall correctly.

well, every new stadium is enclosed or has a pavilion roof now even in perfect weather sites, so yes you are 100% absolutely correct. the NFLworld moves on and WNY stays stuck in the mud. Wash, Cleveland, JAX, and Chicago, all proposing domes now. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

You know guys I think this Trent Edwards fella might be the answer at QB. Heck even BILL WALSH endorses him ..

I think it was like “Whose Line is it Anyway”. The points didn’t really matter and were given out somewhat arbitrarily. It was just a device to give the show some structure and move along to some conclusion.

I'm not surprised, because I swear, I remember reading an article before they even started construction, that said the stadium would be open for the 2026 season, but not 100% completed until early 2027.

It’s that alarm ringing in your head every time they raise their rates.

Woody Paige having a cutesy white board message in his shot became tired years ago. And the point system seemed inconsistent and depended on if Reali agreed or not. That being said, it was an enjoyable show, especially at first, and like a comfort food; but it jumped the shark yeas ago. TRIVIA: What was Reali's nick name when he first started?

Earliest QB memories I have was of Alex Van Pelt, but the obsession started with Bledsoe.

must America always be exposed to bottom feeder drivel television? I think the Bills can show OUT to the world in a way that is going to make the fan base grow and hopefully the team is Blessed not cursed by being on it. we are That good. I embrace it. I'm not afraid of losing it. That's just me. Clearly we will all have to see 🍿 I will need a LOT of popcorn to watch this with everyone. I think it's going to be fun.

Born in 91. Obviously I dont remember much of the 91, 92, 93, 94 Super Bowls, but I do recall my dad went into a slump after the 94 season. He would still play with us and spend quality time, but the twinkle in his eye disappeared for some time.

Is not the debate simple. 1. Biden admin and others before him allowed illegal migrants at unimaginable numbers, to enter the US without following the legal NORMAL requirements. Yes, there are laws for exceptions but it was NEVER contemplated to deal with such huge numbers. It is easy to see why the word invasion could be a term used. 2. Did citizens in some cities break the spirit if immigration laws by creating sanctuary for people that were outside the legal status. If those numbers were manageable there would not be such a reaction. 3. Tax payers dollars were spent on illegals, and they were allowed and encouraged to work, outside the law. As a foreigner to the US, I from time to time entered the US for business, was never allowed to actually work I could attend meetings which involved my business, but could never perform a task. Example, if a person working for my business in Cape Garardeau was to be terminated for cause or no cause, I could not perform that task and technically couldn't order it. I was legal. So how did millions of other illegals work, get services, even pay taxes. I could never have been allowed. I would have been deported and banned. 4. So, in correcting many years abuse allowed by many levels of law enforcement, politicians and citizens a few mistakes have been made, many fewer than has been allowed for many years. Obviously there is no effort to fix those mistakes, there should be some quick process to review cases. But for every one mistake, there are thousands of correct decisions. Those being forced out, hand them the paper work to apply. Our countries need and want the good ones, but not the bad ones.

I know I'm late to the funeral on this one as I've been out of town all week but was super sad when I heard about this. Norm is such an iconic sitcom character and George Wendt played the role so well. Then of course you have his SNL stuff with the super fans. I have also heard many stories about how he was very similar to the Norm character in real life. Definitely a guy you would want to hang out and have a few beers with. Like another poster mentioned, I also went back and rewatched Cheers from start to finish during the Covid shutdowns so even though the show ended over 30 years ago this still feels like a fresh one to me. RIP to a good one I hope they serve 🍺in heaven

I was a Josh Allen fan before I was a Bills fan. Does that count.

Since the Bills are already doomed before Memorial Day, why not plan for the 2026 and 2027 drafts just like in "the good old days" of the Drought Era?

As someone who floats through 5 favorite college football teams I can't call anyone out for "lack of loyalty" but I will state that it is very different being loyal these years and finally being rewarded then when I watch my teams in college. My college teams though I have a much more rational fandom of since a loss for them ruins one night while the Bills ruins a week

Replace the onside kick with a round of bare knuckle boxing. The first team to draw blood or get a knockdown/KO gets possession. Don King some how ends up with 25% of the ticket receipts.
