    Interesting to see the 2 different approaches from each team-the Bills get Josh out of the game with things in hand, meanwhile not only do the Ravens keep Jackson in the game, but they have him throwing while up 24 with less than 5 minutes to go. It’s almost like Baltimore is trying to pad his stats already…it’s actually pretty sad

    As I wrote in another thread, Belichick and Brady did this all the time, the used to do it to the Bills.

    WEEK 2. 9/14/2025. Around the rest of the NFL.

    Chiefs 0-2 is great but they still took the champs to the wire without Worthy and Rice. I'm just hoping they find themselves in an even deeper hole by the time they have them both back.

    Since when has Worthy been anything? They used him primarily on gadget plays, until late last season. Is he really a difference maker?  I’ve said this before, never seen a guy tackled with one hand more than Worthy.

    I know you're being deliberately obtuse here, but I'll still humor your question.

     

    Terry is a senior citizen. His wife, by all accounts, is in no shape to run the organization. When he passes, do his kids eat the taxes and keep the team? Do they even want to own the team? Why cozy up to Toronto in the meantime?

    I wish this were the case, but it isn't. Goodell would move this team to Toronto tomorrow if he had the power to do so.

    Since estate planning is something I know about, let me enlighten you. There will be no estate taxes due when Terry passes, only when Kim passes, she may have been ruled legally incompetent, but they most certainly set up guardianship. Kim Pegula is 56 years old. Furthermore the reasons for bringing on the minority partners is liquidity, one reason for the need for liquidity could be estate taxes. Terry Pegula is not stupid, he will have made plans so that his children are not forced into a sale. As to what his children intend to do or want, is pure speculation.

     

    Goodell, does not have the power to dictate the movement of any franchise, he is employed by the owners. His tenure as commissioner may not outlast Terry much less Kim.

    Rams seem like the most clear example and the phrasing of Toronto being the 2nd largest media market in North America lends credence to the fact that the tone deaf NFL may prefer that market like they did LA over worrying about complaints of abandoning a 20 year old stadium. I've been saying this since the stadium deal was announced. Its great for the near term, but in 20-30 years its setting this area up for a huge let down as the lease is coming up and team ownership likely transferring. 
     

    Los Angeles Rams (from St. Louis)

    Moved: 2016

    Former Stadium: Edward Jones Dome (previously the Trans World Dome)

    Stadium Age: Opened in 1995. The Rams had played there since its opening. The stadium was 21 years old at the time of the move.

     

    Hopefully Pegula makes it so that it doesn't happen like Ralph did.

    You left out the part about Georgia Frontiere, who inherited the team from her sixth husband Carroll Rosenbloom, was from St. Louis. In her own words “St. Louis is my home, and I brought my team here to start a new dynasty”. When she died, Stan Kroenke was determined to move the team back to Los Angeles, it was a dumb clause in the lease that gave him an out.

    Cut the schmuck that stepped on Oliver's ankle... :lol:

    You’re absolutely right Trans! Can I call you Trans?

    IDK, but hopefully getting stepped on and high ankle sprains don’t go together. I am not a fan of the dreaded high ankle sprain.

    Phillips will replace him this week, if he’s in playing shape. He’s only been here roughly two weeks. This is where the Ogunjobi suspension and Carter Achilles come back to bite you. 
     

    I suspect he’ll also be out for the Dolphins since it will be such a short turnaround for Thursday 

    Why Phillips? 

    Have the Jets ever felt like a real rival?

    Oh ok. That justifies being a total jerk in public for the rest of his days. 

    He roots for his team, you know, like the guy that inexplicably covers himself in mustard and ketchup. Or a grown man that dresses up like Elvis. Personally I think all these antics and costumes are childish. It is all about “look at me!”, it’s fans trying to get on television. As far as Fireman Ed is concerned, costume aside, ha has been honored by the NFL for his heroism on 9/11. I find it disrespectful for you or anyone else to vilify him on the anniversary of that event.

    1st trip to Buffalo!

    A few - but they're not nearly as common as some other cuisines.  I was in Tampa last year and made sure we hit one because I guessed the Cuban food there was better simply because there were more Cubans there.  

     

    Yup

    I'm hoping to catch a game next year at the new stadium.  Maybe you can point me to the culinary wonders I've apparently been missing in Buffalo.  

     

    I'm old enough that I recall a time when the only Mexican food in Buffalo was Mighty Tacos (when they had that dirty location on Elmwood manned by pimply kids with greasy hair - though the food was better back then) and Chi-Chi's.  To get Chinese food, you had to cross the bridge to go to Happy Jacks in Fort Erie.  While I do get back to the city periodically and do my best to explore, I may not be entirely up-to-date with Buffalo's renaissance.  Maybe next time I'll do fewer of the Buffalo classics (pizza, wings, BoW) and more of the newer stuff to see how it compares.       

    Cuisine is a reflection of immigrants, you may correct me if I’m wrong, but back then the main ancestry groups were Italian, Irish Polish, German, African, with a smattering of other. Not a great deal of Asians or Mexican. How many Cuban restaurants are there in Northern California?
