  1. I remember when the Raiders were poor... then they moved to LV and now Davis has boatloads of cash
  2. Eagles/Bills week 17 game could end up replacing the Giants or Raiders on SNF that week
  3. It's going to happen one of these years. They have been close multiple times, and I think this year it's Baltimore vs Buffalo in the AFC Title Game.
  4. Derek Carr has shown some serious flashes of talent... Remember early last season when the Saints came out and dropped 45+ points on the first 2 opponents? Now one was Carolina but the other was Dallas, in Dalls, and they won 44-19. Carr's stats in those games weren't as flashy as you would think given the scores, but he played some good ball in New Orleans and also obviously for the Raiders at times. Injuries did him in. It seemed like he was always getting hurt, the trying to play through injuries, and it cost him in terms of consistency.
  5. Remove the powdered coffee creamer from the cafeteria. And piss off another star player. We will not not be labelled cheap!
  6. This scenario is at least plausible, if not 30% chance: Bills host AFC Title Game in last game in current stadium Bills host TNF opener as SB champs and raise the banner in first game in new stadium. It's perfect.
  7. back in the day I made two create a teams in Madden: one with Dunkin Donuts colors (pink, orange, white) and one Starbucks (green and white). And here we are...
  8. Gabe's heart was always here. Time to bring him home! Gabe's issue is that he only shows up and has 200+ yard games in the playoffs. Oh wait, is that an issue?
  9. I swear, if they do this to my man Deone Walker...
  10. the good news? Pittsburgh is allergic to passing offense anyway.
  11. Deion is probably already looking at homes in the Cleveland area. He'll be the coach in about 8 months, so that gives some time. Deion has said he would only want to go to the NFL to coach his son, and the Browns could think it's the way to get payoff for having Sanders there at QB, although it wasn't a huge investment. Deion sells tickets and builds hype and hope. Stefanski has been on thin ice for a while there.
  12. rumor has it that the AFC Championship game at Highmark will be the late game this January, so we'll know who we will face in the Super Bowl before kickoff!
  13. I've noticed that Beane has a different demeanor on the national shows than WGR. Probably, there's a little bit of "you guys are small potatoes AND you're going to criticize me?" going on. There's been some criticism nationally as well about asking Allen to do too much, but those guys have way bigger platforms and frankly mean more in the national sports conversation. National guys are also more measured and less repetitive about it. I will say McDermott seems the same everywhere. He's exactly the same person whether he is on local media, national media, or you bump into him at Wegmans. That's not a criticism of Beane. I think I would be annoyed at the amateur hour level of questions he gets from WGR too. It's one thing to politely go on and put up with being asked unimaginative NFL 100 level questions, but it would be another entirely to have to listen to constant criticism from the same people whose idea of a probing question is "so, did you think of drafting a WR?" I think it honestly comes from the reality that a lot of local guys on radio have a schtick. They play a character to stand out. Everyone has a personality, that's not what I mean. I mean a persona that they seem to artificially cultivate or lean into, instead of just being a guy or gal on the radio who talks sports and has something interesting to say OR at the very least acts like a professional broadcaster.
  14. I watched and immediately noticed the difference between the types of question MacAfee and company asked Beane and the amateur hour clown show that is WGR
  15. Hey good for the two of them. They are obviously each getting something out of the relationship and seem happy with it.
