  1. Looks ideal for an Mbappe jersey! Wow with that PSG style... surprised that PSG didn't initiate any sort of legal action with a blatant copy like that. Add a collar and white sleeve stripes and somehow it is different!

    Wow, it sounds as though you've gone through a lot...but the question is, with a back injury at almost 30, were you out there playing football 2 weeks from the injury?

     

    Back injuries vary. A back injury which requires surgery is TOTALLY different than a back injury that doesn't. Many who has experienced a back injury, like myself, don't want to have surgery because in many cases it ends up being a worse outcome. I don't think this is a fair comparison since he said that he had surgery.

    Born and bred in Northern Ireland. 25 minutes outside Belfast.

     

    Lived in the same town for my 46 years apart from a few years in Edinburgh (University, or College in US speak 🙂)

     

    How is it? A much better place to live in now compared with the 70s to mid late 90s, during the sectarian conflicts.  The weather sucks though! We don't have the harsh winters like in Buffalo but we rarely get any prolonged good dry sunny weather. Even a short hop across the pond to southern England seems to be much better weather wise.

     

     

     

    Thank you! I've got a buddy who lives in Belfast who seems to have gone dark on social media after he got married, and he seems to miss his home of Plymouth in southern England so you may have something there! Only been on a puddle jumper with a brief stop in Shannon, Ireland, so never really been to Ireland proper which sucks. I want to visit also because some of my family comes from Cavan, and I have always wanted to see what it was like there.

    Agreed Mr WEO, but I only live an hour from Dublin, so I'm very familiar with the place. I do treasure my 1pm Sunday kickoffs (6pm for me) and we don't have too many this year.

     

    But hopefully I'll get to watch it with a pint of Guinness somewhere after the Steelers game. Albeit i might miss the first quarter.

     

     

    Living in Ireland.... sooo jealous! Are you originally from there or an expat? How is it?

    This place has come a long way!

     

    Bootin' Rick Tuten doesn't need to be mentioned... his legend is far too great.

    The Bengals have not made the playoffs since 2022. They've missed 3 of 5 years since they drafted Burrow.

     

    Trying to conflate the overall functionality and success of the Bengals FO because of one SB appearance is silly.

     

    They've haven't just largely underperformed expectations for the majority of Burrows career, they're getting him destroyed out there by giving him trash at the OL.

     

    Much like the Steelers defense, which has been worn down to a nub because of their trash offense. The Bengals and Steelers are both being mismanaged at this point, but Zac Taylor is still an absolute mystery as to his value.

    If we're talking about career as a whole and not just with the Bills then you'd have to include Owens.  If you're talking about career as a Bill I'd put Diggs and Evans ahead of Lofton.

     

    Lofton was an important part of our high scoring offense by stretching the field in most of our Super Bowl years. I never felt like TO, Diggs or Evans were as crucial as Reed, Lofton or Moulds.

  8. I'm sorry, but I cannot in good conscience leave off Mike Stratton, the heart of the Bills defense in the 1960s.

     

    Dion Dawkins is in my mind the best LT this team has ever had and could be the greatest OL we have ever had. Many may disagree with that, but he locks it down covering his QBs blind spot, something I have not seen since Will Wolford was a Bill.

     

    Bruce Smith

    Josh Allen

    O.J. Simpson

    Thurman Thomas

    Andre Reed

    Jim Kelly

    Butch Byrd

    Eric Moulds

    Billy Shaw

    James Lofton

    Dion Dawkins

    Cornelius Bennett

    Over under on number of redunandat Cook threads @Simon will have to close between now and week one of the regular season has been set at 13.  Bets can be placed via Venmo with Simon via DM. 

     

    Despite the hilarious appearance of "redunandat", this post deserved a more conceptualized GIF for the repetitive Cook threads :P

    This is all going to come crashing down in the next 5 to 10 years 

     

     players taking millions of dollar and transferring multiple times it's not going to last long time

     

    Also the roster limit cut to 105 is going to severely hurt a bunch of middle programs who always relied on strong Walk-Ons 

     

    Plenty of schools have strong walk on histories and this is going to hurt

     

    Well, that's what the nation has turned into, so the athletes should get as much as they can get... the free market should work for everyone. Survival of the fittest, and those other programs who can't afford to spend the money are out of luck.

  11. Either WATCH or DON'T WATCH.

     

    I lived in an era where you had black and white or cabinet color TV, 3 channels and rabbit ears, and you either watched a couple of Bills games and saw the rest on a highlight show or in the sports section so I'd say complaints are a reflection of how spoiled people have gotten. My God, enough... be glad you can at least have the OPTION TO WATCH every game from long distances.

    Two trains are driving toward one another. The first train leaves Town A at 5am traveling at 60 miles per hour. The second train leaves Town B at 7am traveling at 70 miles per hour. the distance between Town A and Town B is 455 miles.
     

    What is the EXACT time that the collision will occur?

    I was looking to watch anything last night and saw “Mina Kimes show featuring Lenny” on espn. Come to find out it is her dog. wtf is this programming 

     

    Mina Kimes seems pretentious many times when she appears, so the dog probably completes the shtick.

    Where in Connecticut?  Madison/Clinton straight line thru Waterbury is Red Sox - Yankees line.  So we got NYC, CT, and Boston stations.  Bills would be on local television every time we played the Jets and Patriots. Between the many CBS and NBC  stations- sometimes Bills would be on.  I’d watch Sabres-Bruins on NESN and MSG.  Mets were 9, Yanks were 11, Red Sox 38.  Knicks and Celtics.  UConn.  ESPN Bristol CT.  WNBC 660 sports radio could be hilarious.  When callers call out Franseca for BS or the late night phone calls lol.  They took calls all night! 😂 

     

    much, much simpler times, but for a chunk of my life, I enjoyed Connecticut sports coverage 

     

    Groton/New London, CT... was stationed there for over 3 years in the mid 2000s. Near both casinos and the beautiful game of poker easily and we were spoiled for sure. I can't listen to NYC radio and couldn't back then either- I don't know why they always try and present these "tough guy" personalities because they come off as insufferable and "get off my lawn" types. I admit I watch the Mike Francesa Podcast just to see him melt down about the Jests as a guilty pleasure.

    You know you're a Bills fan when you can reel off 15 all-time horrific losses off the top of your head, yet somehow know that there's still probably another 10-12 that you missed.

     

    I was there for one of the worst drubbings the Bills endured on the road during the drought, that shellacking we got in Foxboro when Losman got cheap shotted by Wilfork and Trent Edwards came in. Although it is covered by the "Brady losses" line, that was the worst one after McKelvin's gaffe. Being there made it 1,000 times worse.

    Maybe, but when you are stuck in Massachusetts, hearing Bills and Sabres talk on WGR, is like oxygen.  

     

    I loved living in Connecticut, but having to endure the slop they have for sports radio and TV in that market sucks. Thank God for access to other means of sports talk and info.
