I understand the betting smarts behind adding something like a Henry TD into a parlay for last Sundays game but man I always feel dirty needing certain opponents to do well. I hit a good one on the Vikings comeback game a couple years ago with one of the legs being a Dalvin Cook TD. When he broke off that 80+ yarder I was pumped as the game seemed well in hand for the Bills at the time. In retrospect though, after the epic collapse, I always hated myself for that moment of joy when Cook broke away for that score so I just can't do it anymore.

Sure, but coming from someone outside of WNY mid tier wings are still much better than most places in the rest of the country. Even as close as I am to Buffalo in Syracuse I would love for some places around here to have wings that were "mid-tier". 😉

Surprised no one has mentioned Pearl Street Brewery as far as downtown places to go for good food/wings. Definitely walkable from the Curtis if the weather is nice, maybe .5 mile. https://pearlstreetgrill.com/ Lucky Day is a great call too. Basically right across the street from Curtis.

Did anyone see if the fan was actually removed from the game by security afterwards?

I enjoyed the season. Like some others have said I was also happy for the level of boring stuff as that meant no drama. A little bit of an inside look at the way the team operates and a good amount of player personality fluff, basically a much better produced version of Embedded.

You will only get the Bills games that are on Sundays in the 1 or 4 time slots. Sunday night football, monday night football, thursday night football, and any of the exclusive games the NFL sells to other streaming apps aren't included with the sunday ticket package.

I know for me personally if the Sunday ticket actually did give me access to every game then it would be well worth the top end price point just for the ease of access and having everything in one spot for one price. And I do currently subscribe, albeit using my wife's educator discount, but even at the lower price I question if it is worth it when I only get the 1 and 4 Sunday games excluding the locally broadcast. The NFL is making it a PITA to view their product so I understand why even fans who can afford it, like Lebron certainly can, still go to these sites. There really is something to be said for the ease of access argument.

This old oatmeal comic nails the piracy issue for a lot of people's experiences with content in the digital world. https://theoatmeal.com/comics/game_of_thrones

The mistake many make in these piracy debates is counting the pirated content as lost revenue. If piracy ceased to exist 100% of those who pirated would not instantly start paying for the content.

Really enjoyed the Billy Joel doc on HBO Max. Lots of ups and downs in his life that I really didn't know anything about.

Can't have a great drummer thread without including Danny Carey. His ability with odd time signatures and polyrhythms is masterful.

Never. Grandma took me to a Bills game as a kid in the mid 80s and I don't think I have missed watching a game since. Like someone mentioned before up thread, Sundays being reserved for the Bills was always something that was brought up early in any of my relationships and something my wife has now embraced. Sabres on the other hand.... 🤢

My initial thought was Bryce Paup but looks like he played 3 years. Guess I just remember the one dominant season he had. So instead I'll say Reggie Bush. Have to give some love to a guy with negative rushing yards for his Buffalo Bills career. 😄

This is a longer watch but is a really good report on all the different angles/players involved in the modern ticketing model. It covers a lot of the stuff being discussed in this thread from varying points of view.
