Metal Man

Right, even more of a reason to push this matchup down the list. I suppose they want to get the hype machine going for a Lamar vs Fields showdown.

CBS number 1 crew and national game for Chicago/Baltimore over the Bills is an odd choice. I get Chicago is a big city but you'd think an AFC playoff rematch would be a much bigger draw for the majority of the country.

Parents brought me to Prince on the Purple Rain tour at the aud in 1984.

The emotional investment we put into our teams rarely pays off in the long run. Every single year every fan base, except for one, has their season end with disappointment. The question is why with the odds so stacked against do people continue to love/follow their teams? I guess that would be an interesting study for human psychology.

With my Iron Maiden avatar I feel compelled to share this in the Dune thread. It is a video to the Maiden song about Dune that someone created using footage from the original film. Thought it was pretty well done so enjoy.

I have been trying to rectify this question in my head as well. There would be zero reason to have any live rounds on a movie set at all. The only thing that might make sense will be that it could end up being similar to what happened to Brandon Lee where they had prop bullets for a gun loading scene and somehow a piece of one of those lodged in the barrel so when the blank round was fired there was actually a projectile forced out that ended up killing him. If it turns out to be an actual round that was loaded into that weapon then I'd think someone will have to be held criminally negligent.

The 80s version is a fun movie though a little campy. Never watched the SciFi channel mini series version. The new one is excellent. Feels like a much better adaptation of the book. Only downside is it ended abruptly with a good amount of story left to tell. Like mentioned above it would be nice if it was already in production so we would know it was on the way. I'm not even sure it has been green lit yet so hopefully the box office is decent enough for that to happen.

The United States Grand Prix Formula 1 race is on ABC at 1:30 ET. I assume after the ESPN story that aired before MNF all of Bills Mafia is now a big fan of Daniel Ricciardo and the McLaren team.

The bye and home field is definitely an advantage and I think teams will gladly take any advantage they can get in the playoffs regardless of how large or small it is.

This may be too simplistic for a lot of people but for me if there is a song, movie, actor, comedian.... that I don't like then I don't watch/listen to them. There are definitely artists who rub me the wrong way that tons of people love and lots of shows/movies that give me negative reactions. In those cases I just avoid them going forward but in no way do I see a benefit in making everyone give them up to suit my personal preferences.

I agree. I just can't imagine his call on a potential Super Bowl win will move the needle at all as far as improving the moment.

I have been thinking about this lately. For all of us that lived through the 90s team run Van Miller is forever etched into our memories for his epic calls of legendary Bills games/moments. It is so strong that for me, and I assume most, Van is the official voice of that era. That being said, in 20 years or so will Murph really cut it as the official voice of the Bills era we are just entering? For me I don't think he will ever measure up to the moments, especially if the Bills finally win it all with Allen.

Was actually referencing this: But I wouldn't be surprised if someone got on to your thought as well.... or can even see a call to cancel Tush, Tube Snake Boogie, or Pearl Necklace. Ha, now that I think about it ZZ Top really did have a flair for the sexual innuendo in a lot of their tunes.

Guess ZZ Top better take notice.

We hit one of these locations up when there in 2019: https://hattieb.com/ Definitely lived up to the hype as far as hot chicken goes. I have been hunting that flavor ever since and tried many different NY restaurant's versions of "Nashville Hot Chicken" since that didn't even come close.

You mean other than last season when the Bills played them in OP? 😁

Lots of good ones to choose from but random top of the head stab... Barney Stinson Cosmo Kramer Charlie Kelly Woody Boyd Jack Tripper

It would be nice to go back to a time where there was competition for halftime eyes. No better halftime entertainment than this gem from 1999 for me. (though Prince was pretty awesome)

A page of replies and no one has mentioned Rudy?

Do the players still enjoy seeing the fans there regardless of the importance of the game? I would think their opinion matters the most.

Understood. I realize that there are different media outlets involved which would make something like this difficult. Just putting the desire/hope out there that at some point in the ever changing media streaming/consumption world something like this would be possible.

I like how the broadcast on Prime gives you an option for different announcers. Unfortunately none of the options are great but it gives me hope that maybe some day all broadcasts could have something similar that allows us to choose from the national or home town broadcasting teams.

I will be equal parts disappointed/satisfied regardless of the outcome.

Disappointed to see Miami/NE in my viewing area for the CBS later game. Was looking forward to that Cleveland/KC playoff game rematch.

I like the idea of choosing games that I actually attended and for that the 31-0 beating of the Pats* really sticks out. Regardless of how that season turned out for both teams that year it was still an awesome feeling on that day. However since that one has already been listed a bunch another game that really sticks out to me is a game in 1990 against the Eagles because of one specific play. The Eagles were deep in their own end and on a pass play Bruce looked to have Cunningham wrapped up in the end zone but somehow he shook off the tackle and ended up completing a pass that went for 95 yards and a TD. Not really a good Bills play but that memory has always remained in my mind. Randall Cunningham was one heck of an athlete.
