Yes Yes Coach

Small market team, blue collar regional fan base. Stayed relevant as a fan base in spite of years of non-competitive teams. Known for great tailgaiting. Spent years having some of their home games played away from home. If we had won 4 straight instead of lost, would even have the same "titletown" nickname. Disliking Green Bay would be like disliking your twin brother (if only fraternal twins.)

Thanks...didn't want to have to google 43 names

Young, Pryor, Kouandjio, Barkley, Harvin, Henderson, Woods...Who did I miss? Only 3 were drafted by the Bills. Like Buffalo716 says above, 5* recruit doesn't always translate to the pros. If one is used to dominating without effort at the HS level, it becomes difficult to flick the switch and put in the effort needed to excel at higher levels. Not always just effort either, once heard Donald Jones (when he co-hosted with Murph) talk about the QB with the worst pocket presence he was ever a part of. Not sure if he ever revealed who he was talking about as I turned off the radio, but I'm sure it was Young. Just didn't have the infamous "it"

So, here is my solution to make everyone happy. Change to 8 game playoff. Go back to the new year's day bowl game which will have the 8 teams involved in the playoffs. This year would have looked like this: Rose bowl - no need to change, Pac 12 & Big 10 champ always in playoff, Washington vs Ohio state this year Cotton Bowl - This game will feature Big 12 champ vs at large, this year Oklahoma vs. Georgia Sugar Bowl - This game will feature SEC champ vs at large, this year Alabama vs Notre Dame Orange Bowl - This game will feature ACC champ vs at large, this year Clemson vs UCF? (Last year would have been the same, if blow out maybe someone else) Next two weeks are off weeks as NFL playoffs are in full force. When the NFL has Championship Sunday, college will have semi-final Saturday. Only difference to this year's final 4 would be Ohio State replacing Notre Dame, who had already lost to Alabama New Year's day. The bye week prior to the Super Bowl will be the National Championship game for College. Haven't decided if this will be on Saturday, Sunday, or leave on Monday. Will decide when I become NFL and NCAA commissioner.

Um....Winnie's 44 now. And yes, if you google her recent pictures, there is a similarity. To the OP's question, based simply on her picture and profession, who wouldn't? Add in the article, who would?

Just out of curiosity, do they still have grades in school or is everything pass/fail? What about honor roll?

You would think 40 years of tailgating would lose its novelty...it hasn't. Will admit I don't look as forward to the December games as much as in the past, but that might be due more to not being relevant in December than to the weather. Hopefully I'll figure out which next year!

The Bills might give him a look as an UDFA simply because his skill-set is similar to Josh's, albeit even more raw. BIg, strong arm, mobile. Overall I don't see this as a good move on his part but will probably end up on someone's practice squad.

The statement he took the most criticism for may be true and eventually bring an end to football as we know it (if it hasn't already) "...It's a violent game that I personally don't think humans are supposed to play..." https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2016/5/24/11761090/bills-gm-doug-whaley-injuries-football-humans-quote

I save my yearly quota of "drunk by noon's" for home games. Of course, we had one nite game and I missed a game after shoulder surgery, so I get two extra in 2019!

I was wondering the same thing.. Um....do they?

30's is awful young to start relying on anything. Have you tried exercising after dinner? Even just a brisk walk for 2-3 miles an hour or two before bed? Make sure you check with your Dr. first if you're really out of shape.

RIP. Last nite's news mentioned three celebrities dying, all 76 years old. Along with Super Dave, Gene Okerlund, WWE announcer, and Daryl Dragon - the Captain of Captain and Tennille.

Now that I'm in my 60's I have sex almost every day. Almost on Monday, almost on Tuesday, almost on Wednesday.....OK, stole that one from Jack Lalanne.

All good points, but the highlighted one really irks me the most. Know what the running time of the longest game ever was? The 82 minute / 40 second Christmas Day game between the Dolphins and Chiefs? The game actually took 3 hours 21 minutes to play. Add to that, back in those days the clock stopped on every out of bounds and every incompletion, none of this last 5 minutes of the half stuff. Commercial breaks occurred when there was a break in the game, they didn't stop the game for commercial breaks.

Hey, Chris Kelsay was able to parlay that skill set into a 10 year career!

I didn't realize the timing. You are correct, every time I had to have my hair cut was at the nail/hair check, before the meet started. Middle of the match is not the time. Hair length rule always seemed like a rule without a reason, which is why many refs didn't enforce it.

Looking back at some of the things I did to make weight I can see where you would think it's a stupid sport. Always understood the finger nail rule but never the hair rule, always thought it was stupid. Especially since college wrestling didn't have it.

Well, I don't know what the rules are now. Back in the 70's the rule was hair is above ear and above normal collar. Some refs let you get away with hair not being up to code, some did not. I always pushed the envelope which led to many impromptu haircuts. Never thought I was putting the team first by getting it cut before the match, more like I got caught, time to face the consequences (lousy impromptu haircut.) Certainly not something that deserved accolades. Did a little research since starting this and it does appear the NJ rules regarding hair length are basically the same as in my day, but do allow for a hair cover now. Not sure of the particulars on the hair cover though.

Saw this on a local news broadcast. Are you kidding me? This is newsworthy now and causes outrage? Wish I had a dollar for every time I was forced to cut my hair right before a match. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/high-school-wrestler-reportedly-forced-cut-off-dreadlocks-compete-171757102.html

One of the convicted saboteurs was released on humanitarian grounds when he supposedly had 3 months left to live. He lived for a couple more years, or at least several more months.

Well this was a buzz kill way to start the day. I guess as long as the tooth ferry and easter bunny are real I'll be okay though.

Well, I bet Don wishes he did wear Kelso's helmet on this play

Some really depressing stuff on this thread. Guess cliche's get to be cliche's for a reason, most of them are true. There's a sucker born every minute, and two to take him.
