May Day 10

sounds a small step away from "Effect the head"

Seems pretty sketchy.

1 minute left. The Bills are winning. Feels hollow though because the final seemed sketchy on both sides.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/alabama-aside-college-football-appears-bunched-together-and-that-should-invite-common-sense-conference-realignment-202704848.html This essentially has the MAC adding back Temple and UMass and adding UConn

Haha. I looked at it and it was pretty close, Browns leading. Then they apparently got about 98% of the last 30K votes from the last update

It is clear Bulldog doesnt do anything at all to prep for a show. He doesnt bring any real knowledge to the show outside of being a long time Buffalo sports fan, and rests on that for like 25 years. He doesnt really improve as a broadcaster. I do not feel like he is entertaining in any way either. It seems like he just tries to say whatever he thinks will please Schopp. At least Schopp has an interest in the subject matter and has expertise in all the fantasy/gambling stuff and does research. He is also an actual broadcaster so his delivery has tact to it. That stuff gets boring, and annoying how every topic seemingly gets veered into some sort of prop bet talk or fantasy draft talk. In all, that show is incredibly stale. It is clear that both of them have checked out on the Sabres years ago. Bulldog cant talk about his kid's stupid hockey thing the whole show, and Schopp cant talk much about baseball, strat o matic, and tennis. They can lean on "how excited are you for the Bills?! Call in now, a line is open" I guess. At least until the media finds some sort of 'trouble in paradise' topic to beat to death I wonder what would happen if they mixed it up and put White with Bulldog and Simon with Schopp. I do like the Dibiase kid. A fresh voice. Hungry to try to find content and things to talk about, people to interview, etc. You put people together in one time slot for too long, it seems to just get redundant.

I loved it. I lived in Connecticut at that time, and without going into detail, was indirectly connected to the story. I went to a Trashers game. It wasn't really as crazy as they made it out to be, to be honest. There were a few fights, but the crowd was a typical minor league hockey crowd. They also seemed to over-state how "good" the team was. Especially considering how they blew way past the salary cap

I think Kelly is very tricky to place. Id say a lot/all of those guys you listed, but you also need to add Rivers and Rodgers. Also, Eli Manning, Kurt Warner, Bradshaw, Favre, Staubach, Aikman, Warren Moon, Tarkenton, Rothlisberger all have a pretty strong case to be made as well as old timers Unitas, Graham, Baugh, Starr, Bobby Layne And now we have an endless crop of superhero quarterbacks that look like they are going to make our entire list look like chumps.

Bulldog is out there drowning in a pool of his own saliva and lack of English skills right now, alone on the afternoon show.

Best QBs of all time: 1. Jim Kelly 2. Peyton Manning 3. Doug Flutie 4. Josh Allen 5. Tom Brady 6. Johnny Unitas 7. QB Bills 8. Dan Marino 9. John Elway 10. Joey Harrington

To me, nobody is going through the motions more than "Bulldog". He brings absolutely zero to the table. He doesnt try to bring anything to the table. Goes up into the attic at 3 sometimes and puts in his 3 hours or whatever of winging it. Hearing him when he is alone is uncomfortable. He just stammers around and cannot carry a show.

2 Hours of Sabres talk is 2 hours too many. This is coming from someone who was as die-hard as you could get from the 30+ years prior to 4-5 years ago. 3 Hours of Bills talk with boring Brown and Tasker is too much on a daily basis.

I think the best bet would be to continue in the MAC and keep trying to build and wait for another shakeup which is going to happen sooner than later. Like what if things hit the fan and there was an opportunity to create a "Big East" type conference with institutions like Syracuse, Buffalo, UConn, Rutgers, Temple, UMass, West Virginia, Cincinnati, Toledo, Pitt, Army, Maryland, Marshall.... *Just shooting from the hip, dont need to know details on why "X" would never.... Something like that would be optimal for a bunch of those teams.

Notre dame eeked out a field goal in overtime against Florida state. Better move them into the top 4

Yeah, they asked him directly about the lease, and that was the only answer he could give. He isnt going to say "sure, we will keep extending this lease into perpetuity just because we are nice" This step of the process was always going to be awkward for the Pegulas. PSE is doing their best to look firm/threatening without really doing it. And judging by public comments by all parties, it seems that things are still moving.

If Buffalo isn’t going to work out a deal to keep the Bills in place quickly, the Bills need to start looking for a new partner. If/when they start, it will be too late for Buffalo to keep a move from happening. WTH. This guy just loves the idea of teams relocating.

Buffalo would be a slam dunk IMO if they were adding multiple teams from the AAC standpoint, but it seems like a strange location for Buffalo to desire TBH. Without those 3 teams (and UConn), the AAC loses a lot of luster, at least enough to justify an arduous travel situation. It is probably a step up from the MAC, but how large? I wonder what is going to happen between the MAC, MWC, CUsa, AAC, and the Sunbelt. You would think some sort of shuffling is bound to happen? If so, I would think Buffalo should be primed to land on their feet in an 'upper tier' class/conference of those teams. That is, if they desire to. You also wonder at what point some of the weakest links in some of these power conferences may be culled to either increase the piece of the pie for the better programs, and/or bring on a team who is more appealing. (The Rutgers, Washington State, Vanderbilts, Oregon States of the world).

Anything in the Buffalo area is a 30 minute drive downtown and to the stadium. I would pay attention to tax rates. They can vary a large amount just blocks over I dont live there, but I think I would like Niagara County. Lots of places to get a bunch of land and space. Not in the snow belt, and near all the waterways. It would probably put you maybe like 40 minutes from Orchard Park, but what is the difference really on game days. Im (basically) in Niagara County now and I have never thought the drive to the stadium was too far.

I think when a neutral observer lists off the best fan bases, buffalo has to be mentioned. We are nowhere near the biggest, but we check a lot of boxes. Pregame atmosphere (including all the table stuff and barstool hijinks), in-game atmosphere, the level of support through nearly 2 decades of futility, and the organic gestures toward the causes of Dalton, boyd, Jackson, and Allen. I'm proud to be a part of it. Measuring contests between fan bases are pretty lame though. I think everyone thinks their team has the best fan base

It sounds like it may be a lot of kids from broken homes with little parent involvement. Its also likely there are parents who want/think their kid is and can be a top NCAA prospect and are desperate for this opportunity. id be willing to bet that this Johnson character is insanely manipulative and a master at telling people what they want to hear. Once people who are somewhat desperate for something are in a bad situation thinking/hoping it is something else, they put the blinders on to all the warning signs. this is the best football con since

Bishop Sycamore is a perfect name for a made up football prep school

They were never even able to get the multi-use baseball and football stadium right. Football/Hockey is laughable. I went to a Tampa Bay Lightning game at Tropicana Field. They had it re-purposed the best they can for hockey.... but it was like watching a game in a giant cavern. One of the Sabres' arena's biggest problems is the lack of intimacy created by the terrible/gradual grading of seats, combined with that ridiculous and hideous bubble-roof.

Ugh, I just paid $3 a month for a year earlier today

nobody will attend a 3rd rate bowl game in Buffalo between Toledo and Appalachian State. MAC Championship game too draws very small 15k? and I dont see them prying it from centrally-located Detroit in a league that has major Michigan/Ohio bias. Can have 250 monster truck rallies

A lot of the issue is the employees' management of the lines. Normally, you get to the front of the line. You get some stupe. You order a couple beers. They take their time operating the register, complete the transaction. After that, they will either grab the cup(s), wait to get someone's attention (who is dealing with a different order) for a minute. Then slowly pour the draft beers themselves if the other person ignores them for long enough. Then they ask you if you would like the lids, followed by putting the lids on like they are splitting the atom. Then onto the next person. Or you will order like a hot dog and see a similar transaction, but the person operating the register will need to walk to the opposite side of the stand to retrieve the hot dog, maneuvering through the other workers, then slowly walk back. There is almost no efficiency when it comes to Bills, Bisons, or Sabres games. I have gone other venues where they have it down to a science. At one of the Blue Jays games this year I went to the beer stand and they had a woman taking orders and another one pouring, staying ahead of the rush. The line moved as fast as people could check out. It was amazing, I could have hugged the workers. Instead I tipped them like $5 Most of the time, at these Buffalo venues, they have the lines go straight back to the opposite wall. OMG, it creates several pinch-points throughout the concourse and creates misery. Every civilized city has figured out you do the zig-zag rope system, feeding into every register. Beer-only lines seem like a wonderful and under-utilized idea here
