Vast majority of women are drama factories and do not support their men. You are lucky if you have a woman who is supportive and not a boss B word.
Allens' new GF is from Hollywood, a cancer on this nation. He will likely have another season with bouts of inconsistency because he's not 100% focused on bringing a SB to Buffalo due to this new relationship.
Definitely not the vast majority of women. Change what you are looking for, make sure you're equally capable of being supportive to her and you'll be one of the lucky ones.

I don't know either of the gals, but I appreciate that Hailee is out with Josh casually made up and dressed in the Post pictures instead of a gallon of makeup and trying to out-hot herself with every snapshot like his ex. Good luck Josh!

LMAO. He's still in his 20s, right? So just another athlete/actor/entertainer dumping the woman who was with him through the "lean years", and then undoubtedly off to find a new "trophy wife?" Usually, the latter scenario happens later in life, and also calls for a younger, more "affectionate" woman, but that can't be true in this case, can it?
Again, none of the details are really known, so we're all just speculating here, but like I said above, IF the rumors are true, a lot of people are certainly going to lose a lot of respect for him (especially women), whether you believe it or not.
What the hell do you actually know about anything in this situation? You seem to revel in rumors, assumptions, and runaway imagination.
What is undeniable is that Britt and her friends are on some bizarre "husband material" shaming crusade via social media. Whatever Josh did to precipitate it, does he really want to marry any woman who handles their relationship problems this way?
It's completely juvenile and bizarre IMO. Unless there's actually some revealing truth to what happened, any rush to judgment should focus on what we can see and know. And that's one sided to this point.

I'm not the one making excuses for players who admit themselves that they ***** the bed.
I'm not saying you are, but you do seem to exclude the fact that this is a team game and the coaches have a role to play.
Back in 2008, during the illustrious Jauron years, our offense struggled mightily. People blamed the coaches, the players, blah, blah, blah. At least one of the players stood up and said it was ultimately on them to execute the plays being called. And he wasn't wrong.
But later in the season, SF 49ers came here to play and beat us. Former Bill Takeo Spikes did the entire city a solid and went on record crediting 9ers D staff with figuring out what plays we were going to run based on pre-snap cues. Called our offense "simple" in the process. Early the next season Turk Schonert quit as OC complaining of Jauron's limited "Pop Warner offense".
These guys play the game. If they don't have faith in the game plan it's a problem and both sides could be blamed. But that won't get it fixed.

That may be true, but the opposite is definitely true..... they could have had the best gameplans in NFL history on both sides of the ball and if they players had come out and played as they did it would not have mattered one iota.
True, except that if our coaches chose to reformulate their game plans for the rematch it might have inspired the players to perform better. Especially if they were the best game plans in NFL history. It certainly worked for the Giants in Superbowl XV after we beat them regular season.
Boyd and Mixon called out our defense before the first game and Cinci was proceeding to rip through us before the tragedy.
So our coaches decided to let it ride anyways. Let's stay on the road we were on. That's a problem in my book, and just changing it up may have allowed the players to refocus.
Excuses(explanations) are what you focus on to avoid accountability for failure. When they are things beyond your control is when there's a real problem going unresolved.

Last night as i sit thumbing through the channels I saw a listing on the History channel the name of the show was The Foods That Built America so i went there to see what it was about i got up went to the kitchen & when i came back the show that had just come on was about the Buffalo wing & how it started to be .
In 1963/64 there was a black restauranteur by the name of John Young that had a restaurant near the old rock pile i didn't happen to catch the name of it but he had been ordering wings & frying them then adding what looked to be a barbecue sauce on them & they sold very well among the community but this was during the time of much distress in Buffalo due to the civil rights movement .
John Young fell upon hard times & wound up moving to Illinois so only those that came into his restaurant new about the chicken wings in the sauce which after he left no one was making them & the chicken wing was considered a throw away item so not many other restaurants would buy them until one day a restaurant about a mile away named the Anchor Bar got a shipment of chicken wings by mistake .
The original Anchor bar which was a Italian restaurant owned by Frank & Theresa Velisimo which Theresa was the main cook took the mistaken order of chicken wings & she wondered why they got delivered there & just exactly what she would do with them until i believe it was her son asked if they had anything mom could cook up for him & a couple of his friends so instead of leaving the wings hole she cut of the tip & cut the 2 remaining pieces into the the drumstick & the flat .
She fried them but when she took a bight they didn't have much of any flavor so she added some butter & a spicy sauce that she had for a different recipe & covered them in the sauce . Her son & his friends thought it was much to spicey all by them selves so she thought how can i take the heat down a bit so she added blue cheese as the dip & then she wanted to add something more after she put them on the menu because they started out as free in baskets on the bar kind of like they do with peanuts .
But soon everyone in Buffalo was coming in to eat them so that's when she put them on the menu & added celery with them & the original sauce to cover the wings is now known as Franks Red Hot which i'm not sure about this if any of you do know please elaborate on this but but i'm thinking that seeing as the owner of the Anchor bars name was Frank that could be where the red hot sauce got it's name & i wonder if they were the originators of it .
Of course the show goes on to tell how 2 brothers from Ohio that had visited Buffalo & went back home & while sitting at a bar ordered some wings to which no one knew about them so they decided to try & duplicate the sauce but couldn't & had 12 sauces made up & decided to have all 12 on the menu .
They wanted to open a restaurant so they did they had 50 different beers on tap 12 sauces for the wings & at first they called Buffalo Wild wings & Weck the Weck being Beef on Weck as we all know from living up home but it didn't start out to great . The bar was near the Ohio State Buckeye stadium in Columbus & 1 day while a college student came in for a beer & some wings he asked if they could turn the Buckeyes on the TV it was near the end of the game so he did .
So they dropped the Weck from the name & Hence Buffalo Wild Wings was born & became the first Sports bar which was 1982 . Shortly after that hooters came to be and we all know now that Buffalo wings are all over the world & they said that the anchor bar serves 1 ton of wings per day .
If you get a chance look up on the History Channel the show called The Foods That Built America & the name of this episode is "Flight of the Buffalo Wing" I think being Buffalo fans you would dig it I know i was glued to it till the end . So now we all know a bit more about how Buffalo wings came to be in Buffalo & I believe they said John Young's daughter opened a bar not to far from the Anchor bar which again i didn't catch the name but maybe we should pay homage to Mr. Young for first starting to put wings in sauce .
But there will only be 1 Anchor bar where the original Buffalo wing was first made !! Thank you Theresa Velisimo for many nights of drinking to be able to have Buffalo wings to go with a ice cold Brew !!!
I don't think it became Buffalo Wild Wings in 1982. I first became aware of the franchise in the early 90's here in Cleveland it was still Buffalo Wild Wings and Weck, then quickly shifted to BW3's. I believe it switched over to it's current name in the later '90s.
And Frank's Hot Sauce was first made in Louisiana in 1920. They are proud of the Buffalo wing tie-in. https://www.franksredhot.com/en-us/about#:~:text=Because over in New Iberia,RedHot is%2C well%2C bottled.

It'll be fascinating to see where Edmunds' career goes from here, he's a fine young man coming into his prime. I hope his new role is more of an OLB and not the heart of the defense.
How do turn the heart of your defense over to a 20 year old kid, regardless of his measurables? That was IMO a big mistake from McD. Edmunds is not a physical LB, which was shamefully disregarded. They asked too much from Edmunds early on, IMO.
That being said, watching him play, Edmunds has always been lacking that insatiable fire to knife to the ball at all costs that you expect from any top LB.
He did better last year, but still not commensurate with the contract he received. So I wish the Bills would have handled him differently but I agree with their ultimate decision.
I wish him well and hope the change enables him to become the dominant LB everyone imagines in him.

I know some folks will not agree...But this gives me so much hope for the immediate future of the Bills.
The Bills had to do some serious gut-checking this off season. The most likely move would have been to re-sign Tremaine at silly money. In fact I'm still a little shocked they didn't. But he's just not THAT good. He's OK, don't get me wrong. But he's no where near an 18M AAV player...He's just not...The Spotrac and OverTheCap Market Value numbers were MUCH closer to reality than what he got. And Beane did the right thing. I know how hard it must have been for McBeane because they love the kid. But this was the right football move.
I swear...This gives me great hope that they are going to fix what needs to be fixed...It really does.
You also have to consider he had his best year in a contract year and just got paid. Is this an upswing or a peak?

Interesting. I had never even heard of him.
Well, it is the Browns. Living here in Cleveland, I remember watching Poyer and he was a solid player but he really blossomed after joining the Bills. Kind of our equalizer for Wyatt Teller.

Agreed. I still think we tried to force him to being a MLB when he would have been an all pro at OLB. He’s still so young and freaky talented that it’s going to suck to see if he puts it all together on another team.
It'll be interesting to see if this occurs and I do wonder if Edmunds himself wants out because he's not that comfortable in the MLB position and wants to move outside.

Well, I know from visiting the blue hole in New Mexico, much of it is simply I-40 now!

I think it seems silly if you pay multiple people when one person can do the job.
Most of these players don't even know who the nutritionist is and will never talk with her.
Maybe, but these guys are professional and they understand taking care of their bodies, some hire their own chef, like Diggs:
I can't say how many on the team pay attention to this, but based on my ex-wife's experience working for the Browns a decade ago, there was probably 10-20 something on the 53 man roster. We're talking nutrition, massage, chiropracty, PT/training room routines,etc.
Plenty of NFL athletes take their career very seriously and explore any options to enhance longevity.

At the end of the day, all I know is I don't want our playoff opponents saying this about us:
“It’s kind of basic. They don’t do too much disguising - it’s kind of straightforward, they don’t do all the trickery things that we’ve seen a lot from defenses,” he told Cincinnati reporters in front of his locker.
The article goes on to mention back in 2019 Belichick said the tough thing about playing our defense was how well Poyer and Hyde disguised their coverage responsibilities. Not this year.
It's just not enough when we compete at the highest levels. The Frazier change, and a fresh perspective, was needed. We've got to have a more dynamic and creative defense, regardless of base schemes.

Yea. Leslie has also committed all Josh's turnovers. And he blew Scott Norwood's kick off target.
Funny you mention Norwood's kick. I lived through those four superbowl appearances and IMO if Levy would have had the cajones to fire DC Walt Corey, history may have been different. Certainly after the Washington drubbing in XXVI, but he chose to take the low hanging Dickerson fruit and be satisfied.
We need change to get us to the next level. Hopefully it's the right one.

Let's be real here. December 2020:
"Buffalo could end up losing their defensive coordinator and that's fine with owner Kim Pegula"
Ditto McDermott quoted supporting this back then. No way this goes on record if they're completely happy with the job Frazier does. IMO Frazier is not a guy who likes to make in-game adjustments, and that's what killed him. Too slow to recognize he needs to quickly figure out how to pressure the QB in a playoff game instead of riding it out and hoping.
I didn't even watch Bills/Bengals playoff game. In Cinci, they were abusing our defense before Hamlin went down, but it was early and I knew Frazier wouldn't change much up for the playoff game. Ironically, without the tragedy, we would have got our asses kicked in Cinci but stood a better chance in the playoffs.
Class act and thank-you Leslie, but we need more than you seem capable of.

Nice. The author blurs the poster to limit the spread of misinformation and you decide therefore it isn't real.
This is what makes me laugh when right wingers hold themselves up as some kind of intellectual compared to "mindless left wing sheep".
Baaaaa, baaaaa, mindless right wing sheep.

First off, thank you for a real answer.
Secondly after reading it, this particular author seems to be doing the usual pattern of supposition about the insane ramblings of a (thankfully) small minority.
He does provide multiple examples which is good, but none of them could remotely be described as major players in the conservative movement or the GOP.
As many here correctly point out there are nuts on both sides.
So, this attempt to connect body double doofuses with those who have pointed out actual problems with the government (over) response to Covid is weak at best
(as seen by it's proponents here ChiGoose and Kemp.)

From the article:
The post is one of several that have circulated across mainstream and fringe social media platforms.
He provides NO mainstream examples, just his own opinions.
Thank-you for acknowledging there are wackos on both ends of the political spectrum. You asked for any conservative source, and he provided them. Pretty much social-media based. But for you they are not major enough? "please provide a link to where any Conservative says that "they' have substituted a body double for Damar." Your words quoted. I (and he) have done that.
Then you proceed to attempt to illegitimize the author, what is your point? The evidence is out there, is he playing it up a bit? Sure, but the evidence is there.
You feel he didn't list enough specific sources? That wasn't the point of the article, go examine them yourselves. He's got a truthful point, no matter how you feel about him.
Do you vet right wing sources also? Or are they infallible and only anyone reporting anything left of what you believe is the problem?
It would be great if you actually applied intelligence equally, instead of feebly trying to dismiss the article.

TBH, I think they are looking at the previous game in Cinci where the Bengals were up 7-3 and driving as a precursor to Sunday's playoff game.
They haven't said it but I would think they're guessing Burrow will have a field day throwing against our secondary.
To that end, there's a very simple reality here. We have GOT to pressure Burrow and get him uncomfortable. DE's need to get after it and Frazier needs to come out of the gate with built in stunting and blitzing. Keep that banged up line and Burrow on their heels. He doesn't always have the greatest sense of the pocket and we need to exploit it.

My favorite part of Shady's article from the Tribune. Discussing the Jacksonville playoff loss in 2017:
https://www.theplayerstribune.com/articles/lesean-mccoy-bills-fans-playoffs
By the time we got on the plane to go home, my medication had worn off and my ankle had swollen back up. And I remember looking around the plane and thinking how much of a difference a week can make. Seven days earlier everybody was celebrating because it was New Year’s Eve and we had just made the playoffs.
But that night, everything was different.
It was just … quiet.
We were scheduled to land in Buffalo around 1 a.m., the same time we had the the week before. And I remember thinking, Damn, if we would have won, I bet it would be the same as last week with all the fans there to meet us.
If only we would have won….
After the plane touched down and we were rolling down the tarmac, I looked out the window. And that’s when I saw it.
The Bills Mafia.
Everywhere.
Thousands of you.
We all felt so bad that we had disappointed you. And yeah, maybe you were disappointed.
But you were also proud.
And you all showed up to let us know that.
To show your support.
To show love.
That’s why I say: There’s nothing like Bills fans.
Whether we’re winning or losing, you always have our backs.
So thank you — for dealing with all the ups and downs … for being right there with us through all the adversity … for always sticking with us.
That hasn’t gone unnoticed.

So, this is a really interesting story to me as a high ranking official is going off record about primarily Troy Vincent.
In case you haven't, I strongly recommend reading the ESPN original article for better details:
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35393227/how-bills-bengals-led-way-damar-hamlin-collapsed
For me here are what I view as "facts"
This person speaks entirely in first person about events, especially Dawn Aponte. They seem very closely tied to these situations.
This person speaks about willingly forfeiting the game if needed.
It was a team official, not an NFL person, ESPN person, or referee.
This person really disparages Troy Vincent.
"The league screws this s--- up because Troy Vincent screws this stuff up," the official said. "That's the wrong person in the wrong position at the absolute wrong time. ... He wants to be the hero, but he will never take accountability. That's him to a T."
So for me, I think it comes from the Bills as they would have been the ones to forfeit if needed. Knowing how tight the FO is with their information, I believe this is Brandon Beane as the source. He can be a bit of a hothead as an old article references and this other quote about Aponte I can totally see him saying:
" "Whatever crazy nonsense she was getting," the official added, "man, she held it. She held it strong."
So, I think this source was extremely close to the situation which would be Beane, McDermott, Taylor, Aponte and the ref. If it came from the Bills, I think their management is such that it would be discussed and Beane would be the one to step up and take action.
Some other interesting points was that DeMaurice Smith of the NFLPA talked to Goodell around 9:10 and recommended cancelling the game. Buck said they were putting out info about restarting for most of the entire hour and no one from the NFL called to correct them.
Was Vincent trying to tell Goodell one story(players haven't decided) and the people under him another(get the game restarted)?
Clearly the source's issue is with Vincent, and it sounds like there's a history there. I have no idea if Beane experiences align with this, but it is completely plausable that night.
Why anonymous? Maybe it's a calculated game of chicken to put the info out to the public but force the NFL to deal with him and Vincent behind the scenes, instead of glossing things over and moving on. Is Vincent trying to extract retribution from those under him like Aponte? He switched sides and sounds like a very poor, duplicitous leader.
Anyways, thanks to those who feel it came from Cinci and your reasons. Wonder where this one will end?

I'm not a cardiologist; I'm a cancer doc. I have an interest in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) due to friends and family with the condition.
Traditionally, the diagnosis of HCM has been made based on trans-thoracic echocardiogram (TTE) findings. A LV wall thickness of > 15 mm is consistent with HCM, while a wall thickness of 13 mm is borderline. This is made all the more confusing by the fact that high level athletes often have functional increases in LV wall thickness thought to be due to training effects.
Functional (stress echo) testing can help make the diagnosis by eliciting a pressure gradient between the left ventricle and left ventricle outflow tract with exercise.
My colleagues tell me that cardiac MRI is a better (but more costly and time-consuming) way to diagnose HCM, and may be the wave of the future. Supplemented with genetic testing.
Please note that all of this may have nothing to do with Damar's episode, which was probably commitio cordis (and I stress probably since no diagnostic information has been reported by his docs).
I have to admit that I'm a bit puzzled that there are zero reports of commitio cordis in D1 college or NFL over the past 50+ years. Why Damar, and why now?
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and I'm sorry to hear it hits so close to home with loved ones. I know I truly value my friends who are physicians and I can lean on in troubled health times. I know your loved ones feel the same about you, it is an unequaled blessing to have physicians as friends and family looking out for you.
I also wondered about the rarity of commitio cordis in these sports and assumed a familial/genetic susceptibility. But it's never been established, in part because it's so rare. Literature theoriorizes that the bones and chest structure matures at the end of the teenage years to cut the incidents but who knows?
Thanks for the tip about pressure gradient between the LV and LVOT. My group doesn't focus on hypertrophy but you never know.

Everyone is at risk for commotio cordis and it's not something that you can really manage. It's an exceptionally rare combination of being hit with enough force in the exact right spot at the exact right millisecond. If that does end up being the final diagnosis I see no reason why he couldn't return to the NFL.
Chris Pronger suffered from commotio cordis in '98 after being hit in the chest with a puck and played in the NHL another 10+ seasons.
Thanks, I appreciate the perspective and info. My mistake is looking at it as a individual/genetic susceptibility which I will correct and certainly it makes much more sense he can return.
D-line coach Eric Washington’s comments on Ed Oliver — hoo boy
in The Stadium Wall
Posted · Edited by GaryPinC
My perspective is he's not processing the game fast enough and anticipating the play.
The more notable aspect given the Bills' culture is Washington publicly making these statements. I have to believe there's been a lot of coaching effort and now a lot of frustration with Ed's ability to play the game at a high enough level.
I'm not sure the Bills should even award the big contract if he has a monster year. I would question his motivation after getting it.
