I feel like Mike Love has been a Bills futures contract player for like a decade.

Amazon ignores people at their core, are cheap and are in perpetual search for a "deal". If Amazon made you pay for shipping, or made you pay for the app monthly, a majority of its base would no longer use it. People think they get a "deal" with free shipping, so they use it. Some will pay Amazon for a product they once received for free, but not nearly enough.

My personal NFL conspiracy is that the owners get together and each has the option of buying into an auction where the playoffs are auctioned off to the highest bidders, but you can't bid cash. It has to be art, yachts, cars, property, gold, airplanes, stock, whatever. If you win the Super Bowl, you get your property back. If you pay for a playoff spot and don't win the Super Bowl, your property goes to "the" fund. The fund is a hedge fund that makes money for "contingencies" such as a government anti-trust crusade, lawsuit on the level of big Tobacco or some cataclysmic event that threatens their personal fortunes. I envision it goes down exactly like the James Bond Casino Royale film.

This particular restaurant (it's just outside Bensalem) often requires security guards. True story. The police know it well. It's what you could call...a "nuisance" buffet.

I'd have no interest in trading for him. Spend your money on healthy players.

I think the rotation idea is one of those "looks great on paper" concepts that sucks in practice. I don't think Edmunds is well suited to handle defensive play calls. I really wish they'd give that responsibility to another player and let Edmunds just play linebacker. You'd see a better player. They've taken way too much weight off Epenesa. Sure he's a little faster, but now he's not strong. Now is he a DE or a LB? Ed Oliver gets into the backfield. That's what he did at Houston, that's why he was drafted highly. The Bills have tried fitting the round peg into a square hole here making him be an all-around DT, giving him lots of assignments, and not prioritizing quarterback pressure. This is due in part to the issues at the other DT position. Rousseau and Basham are rookies with limited pass rushing strategies. Experienced OLs know how to defend the one-trick pony. The key to more production from them next year is developing their portfolio of strategies to evade and get pass the linemen.

He'll waive the remaining years of the contract and take a job in broadcasting for a year. Saints keep their money and save face. I know the Cowboys are a trendy pick, but Payton isn't a yes Jerry! guy.

So many ancient, old or often injured guys on that list. I still can't believe Justin Houston still plays! What a career. I'd look into Fournette to pair him with Singletary.

When I read columns like this, I think about the history of what I consider Bills "over" reaction. The firings of Polian and Butler were over-reactions to losses and those decisions had long term consequences. The overreaction to the events in Nashville in 2000 set the franchise into the controlled decent into terrain that was the 2000s. I know the loss hurts, but I hope the Bills take a very deep breath before "making changes."

I don't want any retreads. I don't want any curmudgeon old retreads either that come in and throw a whole new system at the team that takes players half a season to get a handle on. We don't need to do what Rex Ryan did to Mario Williams and Marcel Dareus. My vote would be to give Jim Salgado, the Bills Nickel coach, a look. You need new blood that can take the fundamentals of the Frazier defense and make it nastier.

My contribution: Leslie Frazier coaches scared, and frankly always has, and that's why he won't be a head coach. That was a moment in the game that demanded a bold strategic move, and he missed it.

It's off topic but that label makes me laugh every single time I see it. The dopey looking sheep. The need to repeat ivermectin in parentheses. The image you get of someone unleashing a torrent of bitterly cold SHEEP DRENCH on aforementioned dopey sheep.

Between this moon shot and a mediocre retread, I'd rather give McCown a shot. The Texans aren't going anywhere until the Watson "thing" is resolved, so why not? He will win a few games at the outset because nobody knows a thing about him.

Just as he did during the campaign, I speculate that he gets medical treatments, likely infusions of some kind, that takes several hours to complete, and requires significant rest afterwards. He wears out in between them. As President, he's not afforded the fatigue and naps that every other elderly man gets. In the first couple weeks of his Presidency where no one was allowed in the White House, he probably needed a lot of rest and recharge. This is also why he would disappear for days before Presidential debates and press conferences. He times these big public events up when he's at maximum physical energy and cognitive stamina. The rigors of the job require him to get them weekly. He's doing the best he can in this regard, but it's clear to see, it's not sustainable for three more years. It's not the first time .gov hid the health of the President from the American people, hence why it's extremely plausible they are doing just that.

I've had a satisfying experience buying equipment from a dealer (in my experience, Toro, JD, Stihl and Generac) after frustration with Home Depot purchased equipment that no matter how diligently you maintained it, always died. I had to get over a hurdle in my own head - buying cheap five times or spending more money once. For the longest time, I was committed to buying cheap, thinking I can beat the odds until I learned the lesson.

I like that more for the Bills defense. KC won't hesitate to pass, and that's exactly what the Bills want them to do.

A vote for Toro purchased from a dealer. Purchased one in 2015 and I've had no issues. It's quite the machine. It hasn't rusted, and the welds and shear bolts are strong. Welds are intact and I haven't replaced a bolt yet. I think there are differences in the Toros between the ones you get at the dealer vs the ones you get at the Home Depot/Lowes stores. I only use ethanol free gasoline in my small engines. I think it makes a difference. I've been told by several small engine mechanics that putting your typical ethanol-added gas into small engines just kills them slowly. It's just too much moisture.

I think he has a chronic illness that needs management. Health with chronic illness is peaks and valleys. In addition to COVID twice, he's had two illnesses over two seasons that were not disclosed that have kept him off the field.

Jerry Jones likes mediocre "company man" coaches he can control. I think Dak Prescott is just a newer version of Tony Romo. Good, sometimes really good, but no playoff success. There's no it factor there.

This deal won't be completed until there's a new governor. Plus, if you're the state, borrowing money is going to be an increasingly dicey proposition. Inflation control usually means jacking up interest rates where they can touch the surface of the moon. You could be looking at a 1981-esque economy in the next 1-2 years. The timing sucks.

Mock drafts you can do by yourself. The network probably turned Mayock loose - that was "his" thing they were paying him to do. Being a GM and drafting, you have outside influences - the owner, the coach, team brass, the scouts, player agents, the NFL, highly paid hallwalking team "consultants" for starters. You have a lot of people in your face, feeding you information, some of it right, some of it wrong, all of it biased. I think it's very difficult to "be your own man/woman" as a GM.

I think Kingsbury is in danger of getting fired. His teams just go flat on the back end of seasons, college and pro. This Cardinals team tonight was DOA. You don't sign all those expensive vets year after year to flame out in wild card games.

The storm of shortages have yet to really show up. Those will be in February and March. The media won't talk about it, but this trucker vaccine mandate at the US/Canada border is going to create problems the average American family will feel imminently.

The country doesn't need a rematch of Trump v. Clinton in 2024. It'd be nice to have two non-Baby Boomer candidates that aren't approaching 80.

Not his entire career.
