There should be some sort of performance review, no doubt. Apparently these guys average $200k per game.
200K/yr, not game (actually 205 K per year, read it on the world wide web so it has to be true)

Ralph Wilson should have been ashamed of himself and the Pegulas should be ashamed of themselves for continuing to glorify, recognize and celebrate a murderer.
It's disgusting.
If his name goes up in the new stadium it will be disgusting. Personally I don't think it will.

Who are the DEs that got taken ahead of him?
His teammate Jason Phillips was the first DE to go at 18, to the Dolphins. If Rousseau outplayed Phillips in 2020 18 would be the floor. 2 other DE's were taken before our pick, Paye and Turner.

But the Gold Medal for Collingsworth ignorance goes to his commentary on Frank Clark's roughing penalty on Allen. Collingsworth said that in the morning everyone will be talking about that call and how it changed the game. If you want to start arguing bad penalties in this game I'm down for that. That roughing penalty against Clark was a hell of a lot more roughing than Oliver's roughing penalty against Mahomes. It also was a bigger penalty than the BS holding penalty called on Morse on the play right before Clark's roughing call. That phantom hold brought back a Josh Allen scramble for a 1st down.
Thought the roughing was a make up call for the holding. Ball ended up a little short of where the JA scramble would have, but almost a wash. Agree with everything else in your post as well. Sadly, this was the most objective he's ever been about the Bills. Not sure why he hates us so much. Not sure if a citation is needed for this, but from this guy's facebook page https://www.facebook.com/WorstCommentatorEver/photos/a.3159528527421513/3468974199810276/ :
Top 5 reasons the XFL is better than the NFL:
1. No Chris Collinsworth
2. No Chris Collinsworth
3. No Chris Collinsworth
4. No Chris Collinsworth
5. No Chris Collinsworth

1) UCLA - Troy Aikman
2) Miami - Willis McGahee
3) Notre Dame - Mike Golic Sr. (must be from all those years of listening to Mike and Mike)
4) Ole Miss - Archie Manning
5) USC - O. J. Simpson

Between Taylor and Fitzpatrick... Buffalo has ties to some truly great journeymen QBs
You left off Todd Collins (the original heir apparent to Jim Kelly) who carried a clipboard for 15 of his 16 seasons, 4 of which he never saw the field. (apologies if this has been mentioned, didn't wade through 6 pages to check)

Best I've ever had, but I'm from Rochester and never been to the Eagle House
29 minutes ago, Bill from NYC said:I like the Eagle House. The place has been in business for something like 100 years. Their wings are also off the charts great.
Actually closer to 200 according to their world wide website, established 1827. Will give them a try

Not sure what the housing market is like in Buffalo but if the house was in Irondequoit (outside Rochester) you would have above asking price offers before you finished putting the For Sale sign in the ground!

The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum by Robert Ludlum - really enjoyed the first and third, could have done without The Bourne Supremacy...haven't read the more recent Bourne series.
The Bobby Lee Swagger trilogy by Stephen Hunter - Point of Impact (movie is Shooter,) Black Light, and Time to Hunt. Hunter later wrote a prequel based on Swagger's father Earl, Hot Springs, which is excellent assuming you like the first three. Also has several stand alone books, my favorite of which is Dirty White Boys.

My old class goes a bit overboard with reunions. We have one mediocre reunion every year with 50ish attending, usually in Durand Park. This year's is next weekend. A few more attending this year as our big five year bash, the 45th, was canceled last year because of Covid. We also have 3-4 smaller get togethers at a local bar every year, usually around 30ish attend. usually around 250-300 for the big 5 year bash. Always make the annual Durand mini, and usually 1-2 of the smaller ones. Seems most of my old GF's have not aged well. The girls I didn't pay much attention to....let's just say Karma's a beach.

I won't say where they are ranked in case you decide to watch but the Pegula's get a pretty good ranking.
7 minutes ago, Doc said:Not surprised they got a good ranking. They should.
Would be interesting to see where they would have ended up after the Ryan/Whaley years. Probably near the bottom, saying they gave Ryan & Whaley way too much freedom to run things, the same reasons they are given high grades now.

Did Billy Joe Hobert ever play?
2 hours ago, Kwai San said:He did mop up duty once and it was discovered he never even opened the playbook.
Not exactly mop up duty, Collins was injured in the first quarter and Hobert played the rest of the game clueless. Admitted to not studying the playbook on Monday,. released on Wednesday

Not really a joke, Brady had the most wins in Buffalo between 2001 and 2019

My question is why didn't Barshim jump again at the next height? He cleared the bar on his last jump by a mile where Tamberi just scrapped by. No guts - no glory?
To quote Dan Gable, "Gold medals aren't really made of gold. They're made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts"
-
Guess I'm getting ornery old age approaches, but why would the Olympic committee allow two gold medals for one event? Rather than go to a jump off when they both missed at the same height, the last two contestants asked if they could both get gold medals. The request was granted. They should have been allowed to both get silver medals, not gold.

Racing in the Street by Springsteen never charted but is considered by almost everyone that ranks Springsteen songs to be one of if not his very best.

Stealing Home, a little known Mark Harmon/Jodi Foster movie from the late 80's. At the beginning, Foster's character has committed suicide and left her ashes to Harmon's character to dispose of. The movie is mostly a flashback of their relationship focusing around baseball and summers at the beach as Harmon grows from child through adolescence to adult. Foster is a few years older than Harmon and was his babysitter/mentor. Harmon struggles to find the appropriate way to dispose of the ashes while being pressured by Foster's parents to do something he knows she would not want. While the plot sounds like a tear jerker it really isn't, the sad stuff all happens before the movie starts.

Most of mine are mentioned above, including the OP's. 3 to add:
Field of Dreams, Stealing Home (No baseball fans here? Not surprised no one has mentioned Stealing Home but no mention of Field of Dreams?!?)
And one way more recent, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Ending is hilarious (as is really the whole movie!)

I’m sure he wants another crack at an NFL gig, but throwing your former boss under the bus even if true isn’t the way to do it.
Neither is saying the game is too tough for humans to play

That song was one of the most memorable things in 'Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid' and won an Oscar for best original song. He had many hits in the '70s that a lot of people would know or recognize, including a few that have been mentioned in this thread. Others were 'Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song' and 'I Just Can't Help Believing'. The band 'Blue Swede' also did a memorable cover of his 'Hooked On a Feeling'.
RIP, BJ...and thanks for the childhood memories.
Might not be the best movie of all time....then again it might be! What Ex said, RIP BJ, thanks for the childhood memories.

Try the Cabernet for $7.99. I was amazed at the quality.
Tried it last nite. It was 8.99 at the liquor store I went to. Was pleasantly surprised that it was drinkable, had bought a few beers along with me as a plan B in case it wasn't. Thanks for the tip.

Why? I filed my son's return the Wednesday before 5/17. He got his refund in under 7 days. Fed is fast. File midweek all the time.
It's the state that is slow. Yet. My Illinois refund is in my bank account as of this week... I filed same day as my son.
AND I didn't realize if you owe, you can file early and have it debited on the tax deadline. If I would have known that, realized you can schedule the payment, I would have filed back on when the 5/17 was set. /wallbash I am slow on the uptake!
re why - because I get paper check not direct deposit
re slow on uptake - so am I!

Should NFL refs start being suspended for idiotic calls?
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
What I can't tell from the video is how hard the push was. The defender pushed Murray on his third step following the pass. Definitely late and knocked Murray off balance, Murray being an exceptional athlete never lost his footing. As you say, had he flopped it would get called. Looking at the roughing the passer call last week on Frank Clark that so outrage our buddy Chris, it was actually textbook roughing the passer. Though the hit wasn't late Clark never held back but rather drove his shoulder in to Josh's.
To the OP's point, refs are graded and one got fired the next day a few years ago because he missed this false start:
