Never realized Bob Barker was such a horn dog. 😛
Haha wasn't Bob - but I did go to a Price is Right show once and my friend got called up (never made it out of contestant row as he kept getting out bid by a $1 and was pissed haha). But Bob was still the host, one his last couple of seasons, and he was hilarious on commercial breaks just roasting everyone in contestant row and the audience, and it was R Rated roasting haha. LEGEND

I am all for adding talent, and I like Terry - but the odds of this happening before they see this group in the season on the field is pretty improbable IMHO.
Like it or not - the FO and Staff like this group and have confidence in this group. Trade is not impossible, but if anyone has ever listened to Beane they would know they (right or wrong) are high on this group, believe its better than last years group (and it seems so on paper), and are confident in the offense that was the highest scoring team per game in the AFC in both the regular season and post season.
Now add in that Brady's in his first full season as the OC running his offense and a very successful debut in a spread the ball around offense, and its not hard to see why they probably don't think they need to make a move like this early on.
But, if McLaurin and the Commanders are still not getting there, and this lingers into the season, I can see Beane monitoring it as well as any other options that may arise if the offense is struggling and needs a piece as we get into the season.
So for me - is it possible...sure...is it likely before the season without injuries becoming part of the story...I don't think so. But, definitely something to keep an eye on if the offense isn't coming to together the way we need during the season. I have no doubt Beane and the organization are hyper focused on SB this year.

OK - go ahead and tell the Carlton story
Ha - ok - here it is since you asked for it and I am on a boring Zoom at the moment lmao:
I was a contestant coordinator on a game show that filmed at NBC next door to the Tonight Show, in fact, just a hallway separated our 2 sets. We had 2 production teams - one shot on Mon & Thurs, the other Tues & Fri with office days for both teams on Wed. Each shoot day we shot 4 episodes and we worked a standard 16 hour day to make 4 thirty min episodes. Our director, camera team, etc where one of the most decorated and award winning crews in the industry who did many of the biggest sporting events/games in the world. During tapings, everyone goofed around, the host (a guy) would joke around on camera would talk s**t to the contestants, roast them, etc knowing it would just be edited out - all for the purpose to keep the crew and audience laughing and lively because of the long shoot days (audience made $50 a day to sit in the audience which was for 12 hours and wouldn't make more unless they were there more than 12 hours).
BONUS STORY (that also kind of ties back in later) - Our host (leaving names out so I can be more candid) had a smoking hot - like unbelievably hot girlfriend who was also just the sweetest person, super down to earth, almost like she didn't know how hot she was, but still also did. She was always on set - and she was also into girls. So it wasn't uncommon for the camera guys to pan the audience and help her find a hottie for her and our host to invite home at lunch time for some "play time" before coming back for the last 2 tapings. He had a sick Indian Motorcycle on they would take back to his place which wasn't too far and in the hills overlooking Universal Studios. And because it was her that would propose this to the girls, she had a high success rate of taking girls home at lunch with the host.
With long shoot weeks, our host was super appreciative for the crew and long hours, so not only was he always trying to keep people having fun and laughing, but every single Friday during shoot weeks, he invited the entire crew (anyone who works on the show, even in the offices) to his house where he hired a personal bar tender and would provide free open bar and some catered snacks and stuff. Mind you this was after a long shoot day, so we were often not leaving set as a crew (he was off earlier as he leaves as soon as the cameras stop) until 10-11pm, sho he is opening his home up late to the crew. Never seen anyone else do anything like this before, he was a really nice and generous guy really.
ALPHONSO - He lived near by and was a friend of his, so he was often there as well just hanging out. The host had a pinball machine in his main room near the bar. Me, the host, and Alphonso are drinking at the pinball machine watching Alphonso play pinball and just drinking and chatting. During this convo I brought up the show "Silver Spoons" when he was a kid and a co-star on with Ricky Shcroeder. I was obsessed as a little kid with the train that ran through the mansion on that show and was a dream to have one day. So I mentioned "Dude, as a kid I was obsessed with the train and wanted one so bad...did you guys as kids just ride around on it all the time when not shooting?"
He got so pissed lmao - he was like "Silver f***ing Spoons? Really? You are gonna bring up Silver Spoons? No we didn't ride the train, it wasn't even a complete track, just half a track. Seriously? Silver Spoons?" And then the host even looked at me and was just like "Really?". He was so pissed I brought this show up, he first big break mind you lol.
Haha, in my mind I am like just say sorry and leave it alone. But what I am really thinking is what a dooche, like that show made you, everything you have in life came off that show being your first big break. And it was a hit show. I am like you should just be happy anyone even remembered you were on that stupid show lol. Of course, I just said my bad, and just let him finish his crap pinball game and then it was my turn and just smashed his score easily further annoying him and it was hilarious.
I am friends with David Faustino (Bud Bundy on Married With Children) and we were at Coachella when I told him that story and he laughed and even he was like what a dooche. I am sure Alphonso is probably not a dooche all together, but it was a pretty doochey reaction. Even David is like I love it when people ask me about anything I have worked on, its flattering people enjoyed it and cared to ask and I owe my life to all those things. And people stopped him all the time just say whats up and talk about the stuff he did, and he loved talking to the fans about it all.
So while at the ACC Tourney and Alphonso was rocking the casino floor dueling piano bar, my wife (who knows that story) was like OMG, we have to ask him about the train again and make a big deal about it. She literally had us try and wait his singing out just to do this. First, I am like you are young, hot, and have boobs, you are gonna get a different reaction by default. But he just kept singing and I was like lets go gamble and we left before getting the chance. In fact, he was still singing when we left the casino lmao. Next time thought for sure haha
BONUS CONTENT - Still at this same party, I had my friend Tyler and this girl he was living with, hooking up with, but was also married but her husband worked for the then New Orleans Hornets and was in NO while she was out in LA exploring a different career path. Well she also like girls, and the hosts unbelievably hot girlfriend found her at the party, which at first Tyler was like damn you totally should with her. Then he suddenly realized she was going into the bedroom with not just her, but the host too. And now he was losing it - and this friend of mine is as emotionally dead as Joe Burrow or Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale in American Psycho). NEVER have I ever seen him have a single emotion or jealous reaction like this pertaining to a girl, heck only seen him actually sort of date someone maybe 3 times in all the years I have known him since 1997. He got girls, but dating and emotions were not his thing lol. He was so mad he walked home which was like a 45 min walk (they were roomies too). So I stayed until she was done and then drover her home lol. The host was at least no longer annoyed with me when he realized she was with me lol. I still make fun of him to this day about this night lol - and the girl, is still with the husband to this day and live together in some other state after she was out here for like 3 or 4 years back then.
I could probably write 20 to 30 posts like this of things that occured while I worked on the show, many funnier and better than even this one. But this is the Alphonso story with some sprinkles on top lol

I fell like this is an easy answer - over. I mean AJ has provided 25% of that total the last couple of years as a part time rotational guy. I think we will easily see this group pass the over.

Jim’s daughter Erin gave birth to their first grandchild a little boy a few days ago. If you follow Jill or Jim on Instagram, there is a couple of messages there. They need our prayers once again. Apparently there were some complications and Jill just posted that he’s having a procedure on Wednesday. I can never remember how to cut and paste on Instagram to get it here. But maybe somebody else can do it
Man - my heart breaks for what Jim and his family have all endured over the years, and to still see them having to go through more things like this is tough, especially now being a parent myself with 2 little ones.
I had a scare with my youngest around 5 months that turned out to be nothing, but it was the longest 24 hours of my life in that hospital before we got the news that my son was just too strong and caused himself to faint while throwing up the first time from pushing it out so hard and he was perfectly fine. I remember thinking how lucky we are but at the same time it was heart wrenching thinking about other parents who have been in that situation and didn't get the best news of "its nothing" and what it must be like to go through that. Before I had kids I never realized just how much you think about and worry about as a parent every day, and that is when nothing is wrong. To have to go through serious things with your kids, grandkids, etc is just something I can't even imagine.
So my heart, prayers, and love go out the Kelly family and pray for a full and speedy recovery.

Thanks, I am still taken back how much love and reactions the story got and how much people enjoyed it. Still surprised how many took the time to read it, and love all the other stories others shared throughout the thread too.

Best post I’ve ever read on these boards, Alpha. Thanks for posting!
We are truly blessed to have 17 as our own.
Wow, quite the compliment thank you. I am a bit surprised how well liked this post has been and all the wonderful additional stories people have added to it. I honestly didn't think many would even read it given its length. Im just glad so many people enjoyed it and appreciate Allen for who he is.

I think there is a misunderstanding in this thread of what a “sleeper” is. I mean most listed are starters and expected contributors or players with expectations to be relevant players.

I met him at the same tournament when it was year two with the Bills. I saw him in the casino and on the course. I had a hunch as to where he would be and timed it right and ran right into him. When he got done playing he made a bee line right over to me since I was wearing a Bills hat. At the time he was far from the MVP of today and while recognized, he was not swarmed. He was the nicest guy and took time to chat. you could tell he was different than most celebs and players. I remember joking and asking if he had 30 TDs in his arm for the coming year and he said "No- I got 35" and I could tell he meant it. Anyway, that next year I think he had 37. He really is a great person.
If you have young kids and they want to meet Josh Allen, that is the place to do it. You are mere feet away from tons of celebs throughout the day. Some are more much more fun and interactive and approachable with the fan than others. Some approach you. Sean Payton saw me drinking a beer and walked up and asked if I had another for him, which of course I did. I talked with Al Michaels while he paused on the course while the group ahead finished. It's that kind of atmosphere.
Awesome story and spot on, its an incredible event to meet people like Josh. Its loaded with celebrities, athletes (past and present), etc who all are all regulars annually and they genuinely love the event which is cool. All kinds of podcasts were going on the past few weeks where they would mention "Tahoe" and its this tourney they are all talking about. And they ALL want to win it which is cool.
Alphonso Ribeira (Carlton from Fresh Prince) was in the casino floor bar singing with the house band for at least an hour I saw with big crowds around him. Funny thing is Alphonso got pissed at me like 20 years ago while we were playing Pinball at a friends house when I asked him about the train on "Silver Spoons". He was mad I would even mention Silver Spoons, and I was like dude it started your career you should be happy anyone even remembers you were on the show lol. That aside, he was rocking the casino bar and told some funny stories in between songs too about the tourney and stuff.

That man is destined to bring Buffalo its first championship.
When my wife and I were talking with his mom, she talked about how she felt like god always had his hand on him through all the struggles nudging him in all the right directions to lead to where he was meant to be - in Buffalo. You could hear the struggle, joy, relief, gratitude, and love oozing from her as she talked about it. Like it was all meant to be - and you know what, it wouldn't be a Buffalo Bills story if it didn't have struggle and disappointment along the way too.
And she also was gushing about Hailee (as well as Sam Darnolds new fiance) and how much she just loves her

Great thread @Alphadawg7 , thanks for the vicarious awesomeness from Edgewood (bucket list course... someday I'll do more than just ski Heavenly... someday)
No problem, my first time at Edgewood. Its an epic course and now my bucket list to play it. My wife is has her sights on having her company sponsor the event moving foward as well which would lead to special perks and access if so...so hoping she gets that done lol...good news is shes the head of the department that would do that lol, so told her she has to get me ON the course as a player and not just a streaker during Allens round haha

First, definitely saw you and your kids there and pretty sure I spoke to your kids too. Small world
Second, how did you get pics to post? Anytime I have tried to upload a pic on here before it says the file is too big

Probably, we were there all day with Josh’s group, my whole family was in Allen jerseys except my wife she just had a bills shirt. I talked to a lot of bills fans on Wednesday it was great!
If you go back - hit Ceasars on Wed night, the entire tournanment was there as they sponsor it. They had a big event, and we saw everyone who played the first practice round and everyone who didn't but was already in town. They were all there just walking around after their event ended in the toom at the top of escalators above the lobby at the start of the casino. The casino said they do this every year.

Fantastic experience! Happy Birthday, Dawg!
Thanks! It really was!
My wife took me to one of Gordon Ramsays restaurants, Hells Kitchen, at Ceasars for dinner after. One - We were excited to go, but both had low expectations on the food, just thought it would be fun. But the food was on point, everything we had was excellent (Seared Scallops, Lobster Risotto, Ceasar Salad, Beef Wellington, and the Stick Toffee Pudding), we just shared all those items. Our drinks were excellent (although expensive) too. We were surprised, thinking it was a menu from a TV reality show, now a chain as there are multiple locations, etc. But honestly, food we had at least was excellent. NOTE: Gordons Sticky Toffee pudding was maybe the best dessert we have ever eaten, including Italy where he had some amazing things.
But two, what we didn't know was that the entire tournament went to Ceasars as they host it every year, so we saw Josh and all the players there, and tons of other other stars, athletes, etc who didn't even play in the practice round who were there. So if anyone ever goes, plan on being at Ceasars Wed Night because they are all there for a private event and then just walking around the casino. We met UFC legend Justin Gaethje, Rob Wiggle, Gary Sheffield, and stuff just gambling a little bit in the casino. Josh was hanging out with Sam Darnold, Trevor Lawerence, and bunch of people like right next to us as we were just passing by to dinner.
We stumbled upon that - but now its our plan annually to hit the practice round on Wed and Ceasars for dinner and hangout at night.

Josh seems in every way like an amazing person, which is why I say he's America's QB. He even wears the red, white and blue!
People see him out a lot around here and often times they don't want to bother him or say anything but if he overhears you talking like that or sees you wearing Bills gear often he will approach you and say hello.
Definitely a guy that deserves to hoist the Lombardi, hopefully soon, and maybe even more than once! More importantly, he seems like a genuinely happy and thankful person. It has to be tough sometimes to be "on" all the time in public but he always seems to have a smile and have time for people who want to say hello.
After meeting his mom - you immediately know where it came from as well.
