While not illegal, sharing non-consented text messages is highly immoral. Mike Harrington would certainly not have written that text message to Tim Graham if he knew it would be shared online. Similarly, excluding the full context of the texts makes this incredibly one-sided. Tim's decision to include the keyboard in the screenshot to hide the previous message tells me he wasn't entirely innocent and egged him on. As for my thoughts on The Athletic... I don't live in Buffalo anymore and I don't really care about sports coverage. I periodically get my news from here and reddit and that's still way better than any fan had access to in the 80's and 90's. I don't really get the desire to "go deeper" and get more coverage (which, let's be real...is mostly re-hashed articles written with quotes from the same press conference they've already cited...all under the guise of fresh journalism). A few years back when WGR started posting articles using the all-22 screenshots I thought immediately about how unqualified they were to report it. I was still interested in seeing the breakdown, but it didn't take long before I realized that Jeremy White had no idea what he was talking about. I feel the same way about Cover 1. I'm not here to argue about the guy's reputation, but I can think of multiple examples where he used screenshots of plays to support a biased theory and it was weak at best. If a former coach or player had a similar setup and broke down plays I would be very interested in reading, learning and following their articles. I expect a lot of you to have different opinions -- and seeing as this is a message board about a sports team I'm sure we have our fair share of fanatics who genuinely want more "coverage". As I've gotten older, sports in general has consumed a lot less of my time and I can't stand the NFL and the politics being injected into football. I just like the sport, going to games, embracing victories with those from my hometown and talking about the games with friends and family during the season. The social media era has had the unintended effect of dissociating the sport from the players. We have players tweeting nonsense and actual journalists using those tweets to drum up "stories". I don't think lazy is the right term because, well, it's content and I understand why they do that, but there's very little insight and connections that any of these journalists have with the players beyond what I have access to. It's not like the old days when they used to be buddies. When I read someone like Tim Graham breaking down a player's twitter rant I end up thinking that I've wasted my time. I also read the twitter rant. How about add in some context, do research, contact those around them, see if there's even a story? I can read the twitter rant on my own and make my own assumptions. I will likely never subscribe to the Athletic because I've more than paid for my share of free coverage by watching ads and being a targeted consumer. The quality of the content on their site would need to be extraordinary for me to consider it, and even then, I doubt I'd be interested in reading lengthy articles and stories by glorified bloggers. The one thing I won't do is make fun of those that do subscribe to The Athletic. The greatest thing to come out of the internet age is for like minded people to find their niche and if being a sports fanatic is your niche, please subscribe and give them all the feedback you can to make it better. *Edit - a word.

We get it. You're not the first person to say he has a weak arm. The funny thing is that he had more zip on his passes than Tyrod, and a lot of people were laughing about the weak arm criticism. We were down very late in a road playoff game and the other QB barely sniffed the red zone. I'm perfectly ok with our QB trying to force it in there rather than stroll out of bounds on fourth down or take a sack or any of the god awful boring check down QB play I've had to witness for nearly 20 years. Is Peterman the answer? God no, but he's not even remotely the guy I would be getting worked up about on this roster. With three QBs, if Peterman gets the first nod and he throws 5 INTs again, you can be calmly assured one of the other guys will be starting the next game.

I'm not even that high on Peterman, but this a joke of a post. You're going to cite the time he was thrust into a playoff game with two minutes to go, on the road, against arguably the top defense/secondary in the AFC? There's plenty of reasons to knock on Peterman, but this isn't it.

This world has passed you by completely.

That JP Losman Houston game is near the top of the list for best Bills QB performance during the drought.

I was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006.

I've posted this in the past before as well. It's one of my favorite Bills moments for so many reasons. That he didn't score makes it all that more memorable to me. McGee is probably the most underrated KR in NFL history.

We didn't exactly sprint into the playoffs. We can agree on that, right?

I think Peterman will likely not get the reps to win a camp battle and emerge as a week 1 starter, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if he made significant strides and became a legitimate back-up QB.

What?

Kudos to you John for keeping a tight lip when I'm sure you know more. The tight rope walk that's required for solid reporting on issues like this always seem to open the doors for people on the wrong side of the issue to speak with confidence.

I refuse to speculate

No, but he did have a Porsche.

Kirby, you might need to take a timeout. You’re treading into SKOOBY territory.

Are you just finding out?

I’m pretty sure she would include being co-owner of four professional sports franchises on her resume, so unless there’s something you’re not telling us she has you beat there.

Congrats on having one of the pettiest usernames I’ve ever seen. I’d also like to extend a giant high five to you for throwing your political ideologies around with such reckless abandon. You’re probably huge hit at Thanksgiving.

They literally just announced it's a permanent position.

I'm not shocked that is being reported for the Bills. For the Sabres... I honestly don't think she understands enough about the sport to be the franchise President. It's the same complaint I had about Brandon. Hopefully they have a well delineated hierarchy to handle everything.

I definitely think they'll find a president to handle the Sabres, but I feel like Kim is hands-on enough with the Bills to be comfortable holding onto the President role at this point. We'll see.

Was that reported?

I'll reply as soon as I'm done reading your ellipses.

Dude you're making so many inferences. No one, not even Russ when given the chance, has deemed this to be a grand conspiracy. We don't know any facts and we may never will so you have to play it as the ball lies. For now, it's Russ Brandon, the guy accused of sexual misconduct and "mysteriously" resigned the same day. Also... you're way off base if you think there are people celebrating the firing for anything other than this guy no longer having his weasel face within 1,000 feet of our favorite teams.

You mean the marketing kid with a 1:1 ratio of rising power and Ralph's senility?
