  1. Past hour
  2. Comical? Amusement is where you find it, so Sure, I'll give you that. Concerning? Why? This is peak off-season. He's a player who made huge on-field contributions to the Bills for 3 seasons - the biggest WR contributions we've had since arguably Lee Evans and #4 on the Bills all time receiving yards list behind Reed, Moulds, and Evans. In the Josh Allen years, you have to go down to #16 (Davis) and #22 (Beasley) to find guys who contributed half the yards. So like it or not, he's part of Bills history and as such his antics will always be of interest to some. Why does that concern you?
  3. Cardi-B is Bill Belichick revisited. Dump the guy right before he becomes completely irrelevant.
  4. It's great to see some humility and maturity from the guy. Certainly an athletic freak but his overall NFL receiver traits are pretty much limited to one imo, namely his ability to outmuscle much smaller defenders. Despite his 4:42 combine 40 (and I doubt he is still at that level) he never got much in the way of separation, and he was never a good route runner or a dedicated blocker. The Bills already have a very big developing wideout whose game for now depends significantly on his size/strength attributes. I don't think they need another. What they still need Is a guy who can reliably contribute to the vertical passing game. Despite his athleticism I don't think that would be Claypool.
  5. By that definition, you could say buying tickets to the movies is an investment, or shopping for clothes is an investment. I know that my wife likes to call her shoe purchases an investment, but that is only to make her feel better. An investment is an asset or property acquired to generate income or gain appreciation. Concert tickets, clothing, and PSLs are generally not investments. Now, if you are buying PSLs to take clients to games and the clients are generating income, maybe, but if it's just for your enjoyment, probably not an investment.
  6. My hope is that the Eagles organization has the same view as this fan site about the Bills (same for all the other teams in the NFL), but I highly doubt it. I note this as the other teams know much better than any fan how good the Bills are. The reason for this is as the original poster alluded the Bills were a play or two (or a call or two) away from the Super Bowl last year (and possibly the last four years). As such, the changes the Bills made this year to address the two main areas of concern, namely the defensive line and some wide receivers that are good at man-to-man separation, could very likely make the Bills the team to beat in the NFL.
  7. Trump’s 'Take It or Leave It' Tariff Blitz Is Bigger Than Monday David Manney Need another example of 'this isn't your grandfather's president"? Forget quiet, back-channel diplomatic communications. President Trump grabbed a bullhorn, walked into the center of a mass of people, and blasted five words that reverberated off the walls: "Take it or leave it!" Twelve countries will receive letters from the president tomorrow, notifying them that their 90-day grace period is about to expire, much like a person realizing too late that their coffee was not decaf. If they miss their July 9 cutoff, tariffs of up to 70 percent will hit them like a falling piano on a sidewalk. The FO'd, and now they will FA. A soft handshake of sorts was shared in April in the form of a 90-day grace period. This was the quiet warning that's been in diplomatic circles for generations. Except those circles have been made irrelevant. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent cut to the chase: Those countries will be staring at that letter the way I used to when receiving service interruption notices without having a job. The president isn't pressuring them; he's simply following through on what he said he'd do. Instead of wanting to play fair with our country in trade, some of those countries seem like they're "going to the mattresses." Australia is sending warnings about increasing prices. Dairy farms in Canada are holding their breath. Manufacturers in Mexico have been holding emergency meetings. With industries totally depending on American buyers, it seems that nobody wants to be on the receiving end of a 70 percent slap. Rebalancing trade imbalance should have taken place a long time ago. One penny at a time, we've been bled dry over decades, resulting in a $12 trillion deficit. That amount isn't abstract; over time, it was factory shut-downs, pensions disappearing, and vibrant towns dependent on "the mill" being quiet. {snip} This isn’t Grandpa’s diplomacy. It isn’t a slow-burn compromise. This is fast, intentional leverage. This is American comeback energy. Whether they sign by July 9 or not, the message is the same: we’ve noticed the imbalance. We’re not silent anymore. And we expect fair play, because we built the market that enables the world. Trump just stopped waiting. And, like it or not, the rest of the world will. https://pjmedia.com/david-manney/2025/07/06/trumps-take-it-or-leave-it-tariff-blitz-is-bigger-than-monday-n4941481
  8. The obsession with Diggs over a year later is both comical and concerning 🤣
  9. BRAVO on this one. He nailed it.
  10. Coverage is determined at the time of the alleged act. His current insurance coverage as an NFL player will deny coverage. The question is whether Mom and Dad's insurance carrier will cover his alleged act while visiting the college. Or, if you want bigger pockets, whether University of Kentucky should have taken better steps to protect students (like the plaintiff) from football recruits visiting the campus.
  11. Yeah, it definitely looks like they're going after the bigger guys. I hope it is one of the factors that gets this team glued together. I don't mind one or two of the small, speedy guys, but you can't build a roster around that. They need some bigger guys that can compete one-on-one. The Bills seem to be doing the same thing, particularly at the receiver and TE spots.
  12. Have We Reached Late-Stage Climate Hysteria? A United Nation’s report issued last month calls for the criminalization of spreading “disinformation and misinformation” about global warming. Is it the desperate act of a dying crusade – or business as usual for the climate fanatics? While our hope is the former, it’s more likely the latter. According to Elisa Morgera, the U.N. special rapporteur on climate change, governments should “criminalize misinformation and misrepresentation (greenwashing) by the fossil fuel industry” as well as “criminalize media and advertising firms for amplifying disinformation and misinformation by fossil fuel companies.” This is disturbing. Who gets to decide what is “disinformation and misinformation”? We’ve already seen, thanks to COVID-19, that the meaning of those words is determined exploitatively by the ruling class and the loudest voices, not by any objective means. Just the News quotes experts who say the call for criminalization shows a growing desperation among the climate alarmists. Given that global warming has cooled off considerably as a pressing issue for the public, this rings true. Yet demanding that skeptics be arrested and tried is not a fresh fantasy for the eco-fascists. They’ve been dreaming about a 21st-century inquisition of those who hold dissenting views (the Galileos of our time?) for more than a decade: Examples at the link https://issuesinsights.com/2025/07/07/have-we-reached-late-stage-climate-hysteria/
  13. Taking a deeper dive into the results, the Sabres played 30 games where they scored 2 goals or less. They won 1. They played 52 games where they scored 3 or more and lost 17, winning the other 35. In contrast, the Stanley Cup winners played 33 games where they scored 2 goals or less and won 6. They only lost 8 of their 49 games when scoring 3 or more, winning the other 41. Are we winning a 2-1 game with the additions on defense? Or are we going to close out some 3 to 2 games?
  14. I want to trade what we have for magic beans. They're magic!
  15. Apparently not those living in Philadelphia... UP to Auckland? Where were you, Antarctica? 🙃
  16. A generality. Sad. Please tell me more about a proper alert system not being in place and the relation to budget reductions.
  17. The fact that anyone is making this about politics is disguising. Also Cuts to the NWS have nothing to do with this, there was warnings. And even prior to the cuts, how many times have the NWS inaccurately predicted storms, happens multiple times a year. This happening in the overnight/early morning hours played a huge part as well. The only thing that would have really helped is if the county had sirens to give an audible warning.
  18. It comes down to this: Do you believe that the Bills' problem are deep and systemic, and no amount of personnel turnover will fix them? - or - Do you believe that the Bills' formula is good enough to get them to the doorstep of the Super Bowl every year, and they keep being just a play or two away from getting there? If you believe the former, then you probably agree with this article. If you believe the latter, then you probably don't agree with the article. If you believe the former, you likely want some combination of Beane and McDermott gone, and you want a shiny new head coach and/or GM. If you believe the latter, you just keep trying to add talent and "keep trying to kick the door down", as one NFL executive put it to Beane last year. Which side are you on? That's the big question.
  19. 100%. I think he could make the WR much better. Shakir Moore Coleman Palmer Samuel Claypool Yes that's 6. But that is a hell of a WR room.
  20. I agree with every word of this and I'm grateful for Beane and McD. And yet, we still don't have a Lombardi. As Shaw66 says, this is a seriously good football team. And that's both a joy and a problem. Good is the enemy of great, as they say, and we're not great. We've never begun a season as the best team in the NFL, or even the AFC. There are always concerning injuries and/or roster holes, not to mention some questions about the coaching staff. So what do you do with a GM/HC who win lots of games but no trophies? Say thank you and hope for next year? Replace them with guys who - odds are - wouldn't be as good? It's a conundrum. I'll say this... Every year with Beane and McD, we have a legit chance. For 17 prior years, we had no chance at all. I like having a chance, so I'll roll with them. But I do wish each of them was just a little bit better.
  21. Problem is that pesky sexual abuse scandal taints everything like Joe Paterno... sorry, but those platitudes go out the window because Jim Jordan said NOT A THING as sexual abuse happened right under his nose.
