Will you be live-streaming this event? Asking for a friend... Apparently, he's a moron, too..."I miss Adam Gase" is only four words. BTW, to the OP's question, the only things I watch on ESPN now are live sports...NFL, MLB (mostly just the Mets), college football and basketball, and soon the NHL...don't care one iota about the NBA. I will on occasion check out what might be an interesting '30 for 30' or 'Edge NFL Matchup' with Greg Cosell & Matt Bowen, if I know they will be breaking down the Bills. Back in the day, I used to like 'The Sports Reporters' with Dick Schaap.

The cliched 'trap game' moniker was proven to be a false narrative years ago. The analytics and numbers don't support that drivel. It's just statistically not true and something emotionally fragile fans use to placate themselves in the unlikely event of an upset. Don't perpetuate the myth, educate yourself: "Using Pro-Football-Reference’s wonderful game finder, I observed every game where a team above .500 played a below .500 team over the past 10 seasons (2002-2011). Over 1359 games, the above .500 team won 79.5% of the time. We must compare the above .500 team’s win percentage in trap games to this base rate of 79.5% in order to see if good teams lose at a statistically significantly higher rate. Limiting the sample to our trap game definition (n=515), the above .500 team won 80.5% of the time, a full percentage point higher than in the full sample. Far from a losing more frequently, as we would expect by the trap game logic, good teams tend to do even better against worse teams the week before they play a good team. However, this difference is not statistically significant: a difference of means t-test yields a t-value of just 0.60. So we fail to reject the null hypothesis that good teams have a different win percentage in trap games than they do in any game against a sub-.500 team." https://harvardsportsanalysis.wordpress.com/2012/11/22/debunking-the-trap-game-and-letdown-game-myths/

Sorry for your loss and my sincere condolences. I lost my mom in 2008 at the all too young age of 66 and my dad in 2019 a month shy of his 77th birthday. There is not a day that goes by where I don't miss them. Losing your parents, or anyone you love for that matter, is the hardest thing in life. Peace.

Well, usually...

When the game started, I actually thought that there was no way Millen could be a worse color analyst than he was a GM. Boy, was I wrong. Woof... Mea culpa.

OP was "asking for a friend". 😉 It doesn't matter how you get there to win it, as long as you win it. Nobody is ever taking it away no matter how 'lucky', 'bogus', or any other 'sour grapes' spin on it that other fan bases might profess.

There is so much down time between plays, they probably feel they need the color guy to spell the play-by-play guy so his voice doesn't give out from non-stop talking. Unfortunately, a lot of the color guys are former players who know amazingly little about the nuances of the game.

I wished him a Happy Birthday earlier in the day over on The Aud Club (SabreSpace) but it wouldn't hurt to do it again. Happy Birthday, Scott.

Agreed. If you're an insufferable gasbag you're an insufferable gasbag. Winning won't change that for many. It was never my style during the Super Bowl years and it won't be now. I enjoy celebrating Bills success with my family and fellow Bills fans, I don't need to go screaming it at others who don't care or whom I don't care about. Honestly, a lot of Bills fans are obnoxious now on social media every time they perceive some real or imagined slight against the team.

I think a lot of his 'encounters' would agree with you.

I think they're more likely to throw rape kits at Roethlisberger...

Is a 1,000 yard rushing season really something to crow about? It's a shade under 59 yards per game.

Because 'Chucky'...

Shut out complete! ♥️

Zimmer!

I like the Bills' version of Hamlin, too, but I was actually referencing the NASCAR driver.

He'll make a good coach one day. Maybe sooner rather than later.

Twice. Woof.

TD to Sims was there for the taking. Bad pass by Webb.

Becker grease pigged that one.

That would be almost impossible not to do. 🤣

He is from one county over from where I live. I used to live in that county, as well.

I think so, as well, and I think they want him on the ps. My point was that he will not make the final roster.
