I know. I've only checked TBD twice today and am actually getting work done. Weeeird.

Bump.

^^^ 100% this. I'm not much of an X's and O's guy. But I do know that an effective defense gets the ball back to your offense quickly, often, and with good field position. Just get it done.

Did anyone catch the 5 or so minutes spent talking about the Bills on Mike and Mike this morning, around 8:15? Greeny drew a cool parallel between good players (like Bilas) going to Duke before it was "cool" and Reggie White going to Green Bay before it was "cool" and how the big time recruit/free agent choosing a lesser-known place very often leads to other recruits/free agents taking notice and wanting to play there too. Of course we have to wait to see what happens on the field, but this really feels like a new day in Bills Nation.

I wouldn't be at all surprised. When we picked up TO, it was compelling enough to get us a few primetime (Sunday/Monday) games. Now that we landed the biggest fish in free agency (with an intact neck), I'm sure it'll make the deciders sit up and take notice.

In my line of work, I cross paths with a lot of wealthy, elderly men (and women). At some point many of them come to grips with their own mortality and adopt a very healthy, pragmatic view on death and their own resources, and they start to think about what they would like to do with their money that's meaningful to them in terms of either the here and now, or their legacy. One of my favorite sayings from one of these old guys I worked with (who did pass away last year) is: "You never see a Brinks truck following a funeral procession." But I sincerely hope Mr. Wilson ain't going anywhere soon, and we finally get that Lombardi trophy for him, the team and all of us.

I picked up a pair the morning Stevie signed. I feel like I got in early. Traded emails with my ticket rep this afternoon. He said things were basically going ape-s###.

I just got through on dial-up using my 14.4 modem. How is dinner going with Williams and Meachem?

That was a great piece. Cloud 9. I'm on it.

I'm not ground up and in the freezer. But the ice in my vodka just was. Cheers, y'all. We earned it these last 48 hours. LET'S GO BUFFALO!

On my way to join them!

I think we all broke buffalobills.com, I haven't been able to load it in a while.

OMG IT'S CLIPBOARD WILLIAMS.

Shut off the hot water in the technical crew's hotel room.

Yeah, and those are the good old days now. That sucks. New era begins TODAY.

JAYZUS, people. I used to be a sound engineer. Send Mario's plane back to NC to pick me up and I'll fix the damn signal.

Wow, Mario looks a lot smaller without a helmet and pads.

For god's sake, can we please get this started so we know it's for real? I half expect something to go all wide-right on us.

If we knew when he was returning, I would seriously consider joining a welcoming party at RDU.

LOOKS LIKE I PICKED THE RIGHT YEAR TO BUY SEASON TICKETS!!!

Seems like anything along those lines (seating, family travel arrangements, stuff like that) would be super easy/relatively cheap given the entire cost of the contract.

I need a shot and a beer.

I'm completely oblivious to it, and I live smack in the middle of the triangle formed by the Duke, UNC and NCState campuses AND work at UNC. That takes a special kind of willful ignorance.

How big? Can Chad be our other DE?

I might as well be his source. Of course it SHOULD be getting done.
