“Yes, it’s America’s favorite dick hoister, Baker Mayfield.” Gold, Jerry! Gold! My favorite description of our tailgate is from the 2014 edition: “I can barely tell the difference between a Bills tailgate and a 1970s Manchester coal-plant union protest.”

DON’T TOY WITH MY EMOTIONS LIKE THAT.

+1 for the Peter Gabriel reference.

Thread of the Year

Maybe you’re right. But I did live in NC for almost a decade, spent time all over the state between work and play, and found literally every other part of the state more interesting than CLT.

Charlotte is boring as hell. It's a bank branch that kept growing until they legally had to call it a "city."

Yeah, anyone who has done coast-to-coast travel has experienced it. Being in a small plane makes it that much worse. I was once in a regional jet flying over the Rockies in some storms. By far the most harrowing experience I've ever had on a plane.

What's amazing to me is that some people think one WOULDN'T hire a lawyer when one's very own livelihood is threatened, NFL-caliber or not.

Who is Leasean McCoy? Any relation to Leshawn McCoy?

WTF? This story keeps getting weirder and weirder.

Yeah, I know. It's not you, just in general people are hopping on this "fake news" thing as if it only began in 2017, and as if only one "side" is guilty of it. Going back to the very beginning of this country, news outlets were bankrolled by people with political axes to grind. Today, they've gotta fill 24 hours of television with something, to hold peoples' attention in between commercials for dick pills. Shouting heads and OMFGWTFBBQ BREAKING NEWS banners are more compelling television than "straight news reporting." But Hunter S. Thompson's point, and it's one that I agree with, is that anyone reporting on any subject inherently does so with their own biases, preconceived notions, and personal interpretations, and so true objectivity is really only possible for something straightforward and quantitative. When someone is telling you what happened, they always do so through their own lens.

The only thing wrong with this line of thinking is suggesting this is anything new. There may be a nifty new bumper sticker slogan for it, but it’s not a new phenomenon. “So much for Objective Journalism. Don't bother to look for it here--not under any byline of mine; or anyone else I can think of. With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms.” Hunter S. Thompson wrote that back in 1972.

I work for Oxford Comma, Inc. and can tell you from professional experience that you,re wrong.

Just wait until a frozen coffee grounds expert shows up.

Yeah. Me and some buddies from home who are all now scattered across the country meet up for a Bills roadie somewhere every couple of years. That one was a matter of convenience since one of the guys lives in Atlanta. So it was a really fun trip, but man, what a dog of a game.

Other than the alleged fight with off-duty cops, where the charges were dropped, what else has come up with Shady before? Serious question, I don’t know much about his time before coming to BUF.

The Brian Brohm game in Atlanta in 2009. Barf. ?

As a loud-mouthed Irish guy myself, I really liked Rex and truly thought he was going to turn things around for us.

Monday night at home, Pats in town, two nights before Halloween. Yeah, things are gonna get weird. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.
