    How to make baseball the most relevant sport again? Steroids

    Think back to the 90s. Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi, all players who juiced, and most of us were on the edge of our seats waiting for the bomb into the stands (or McCovey Cove) that was about to happen. 

     

    What if baseball allowed players to juice legally? There would be homerun battles year after year. Imagine Ohtani and Judge hitting 70 plus HR's a year, or more! Think baseball fans wouldn't go nuts over that? 

     

    Something to at least have some fun discussing.  

     

    You think these guys aren't on steroids?

     

    LOOKING FOR SIGNS THATS IT'S TIME

    Bills win on Sunday in a game that finally went their way. A play that usually spells doom for the Bills turns our way. On the way home from the game I told my wife I can feel the luck changing. Stopped at the Casino and we both won a few BILL$. Good start to the next game. Monday night bowling hit my first 700 series.

     

    Tuesday I had surgery scheduled for a hand issue n State College, PA.. I was wheeled in the operating room and the nurses were reading me for the surgery, IV, monitors and blood pressure sleeve and the like. As the surgery was about to start the anesthesiologist asked me if I was ready.......Just before I was to go under I stopped him and asked him to wait as I heard" Mr Brightside" playing over the speakers in the OR. He and all the others in the room wanted to know why that was notable to me. Before going under I had to explain to them the significance of that song and that it is Championship Week for the Bills and us fans.   ANOTHER SIGN?

     

    Obviously they are not BILLS FANS.

     

     

    Hearing Mr Brightside was a sign that you're getting cheated on, sorry Stroke

    Mr Brightside Playing at the Stadium

    Its been played at sporting events since it came out 20 years ago, just like Crazy Train, Machine Head, Seven Nation Army, We Will Rock You, etc. Its played at every Junior College game to the pros. I was at the UNLV/Wyoming game last night (wearing a Josh jersey) and Mr Brightside was playing when I got to my seat

    Those songs aren't about getting Cucked (I'm pretty sure anyway, and even if they are they're much more subtle about it.) It's just a really weird song for thousands of people (who aren't at a concert anyway) to sing along to.

    Joe Brady, Josh Allen, and the playcalling

    One thing that stood out to me was how often we had in an extra lineman, and how often we ran right into his ass on those plays.  In previous games, we were able to wear down the opponent last night that way (San Francisco especially comes to mind.) 

    Last night it just felt like we were shooting ourselves in the foot by letting Baltimore know what we were going to do.  If we are going to keep going with the extra lineman so often next week, I hope Brady can get a little more creative with it and bring in more pass plays and other wrinkles.  Last night I think we did pass out of it 1 or two times and there was also a nice counter run which caught Baltimore off guard.

     

    In general I think if we can use more traditional sets (or 3 or 4WR sets also) it's going to keep the defense a little more honest and can still open up the run game a little more.  

     

    Aside from this, the tendency to run on 2nd and short EVERY TIME drives me absolutely nuts.  Josh loves his deep shots - THIS IS THE TIME TO TAKE SOME (or just throw over the middle sometime.) If I know what play we're going to call based on a certain down and distance, then I'm sure the opponent does too.  Maybe Brady is just playing the long game and will finally take advantage and break tendencies this week, but I'm not very optimistic.

    It was said last week that the interviews would take place by Videoconference on Tuesday (14 Jan).  So they have taken place.

     

    But again that's not confirmation that he's actually accepted any interviews.  All I have found / read was that they were requested (aside from the New Orleans interview which does seem to be confirmed.

     

    I also found this - https://athlonsports.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/buffalo-bills-joe-brady-head-coach-interviews-commitment-playoffs-baltimore-ravens-reveal-unique-truth

    Jets request to interview Joe Brady

    I know they were requested last week, but I think by league rules they could only be held this week.  I've heard about other interviews happening this week but not Brady, was just wondering if he may have rejected some that weren't considered good places to land (e.g. the Jets.)

    There is no way in hell that our Bills are losing a 3rd consecutive Divisional playoff game in Orchard Park in OUR weather and in front of OUR great fans.  Not this team, with this QB.  No way.  I'm willing this to happen and putting it in writing.
