  1. We don’t know all the circumstances on why he isn’t there, but I agree. If he isn’t missing it due to something important, this is a poor decision.
  2. I hope he on returns. More opportunity to get snapped in half
  3. Again……. If they can get up to speed. you’re assuming that’s impossible. I’m assuming that it’s possible for someone to excel at hockey at a young age and also excel at other sports. Ever see Colton Orr or Derek Boogard play hockey? They stunk. They were there for one reason and it wasn’t to play hockey
  4. Looks like he’s competing with gunner olzsewski for the returner job/WR6. Hodgins is also likely in the mix for WR6.
  5. My point was, if you can get an nfl or nba player up to speed. You can’t say that that’s impossible because some players may already be very good skaters. It’s not as if there aren’t any players that played hockey growing up. Lukas Van Ness was an accomplished hockey player. He was an enforcer in HS but stopped playing to pursue football. I can’t say that he couldn’t have been as good as Colton Orr and Derek Boogard. Enforcers have a role in the NHL and some of them weren’t very good at playing hockey. I get your point though. You aren’t getting an nba/nfl player up to speed if they haven’t skated before.
  6. Never unsderstoos that ranking. Die hard UNC hoops fan here. Dude was turrble on the court AND on the gridiron in college. Just awful. To my eye, he was the epitome of an incredible athlete that very little skill or sports IQ. His only chance to play in the nfl was at WR and had zero chance at making the NBA. He was one of the most athletic specimens in HS sports history. He was a Hs legend for sure. When he spurned his hometown school, UVA, for UNC, it sent shockwaves throughout the state. He chose UNC because wanted to focus on making the NBA because nba players made more money, but he also started played QB I think Suggs was a better prospect in both sports The name that has escaped me throughout this thread is Charlie Ward. Heisman trophy winning QB who was drafted in the 1st rd, played (and started) in the nba for several seasons. He wasn’t drafted in the nfl, partly due to nfl teams knowing he had a better chance of playing basketball. I remembering reading that the KC chiefs almost drafted him in rd 2, but didn’t want to risk wasting the pick if he went to the nba.
  7. For sure and the two best players in the nba today can’t run or jump and are known for their indulgences with booze. They are exceptions rather than the rule, similar to Wayne. was wayne not considered a great skater? .
  8. Hockey is a completely different realm because it requires the athlete to already be an incredible ice skater. Nba and NFL players are running. Give some nba and nfl players up to speed on skates and they could compete+ imo
  9. Yup. A special athlete. A guy his size made a HoF career in the paint
  10. Allen Iverson may have been able to. We’ll obviously never know- but he was a ridiculous HS QB that decided to focus on Basketball
  11. Jalen Suggs is NOT 240. I agree, Josh wouldn’t look big on the basketball. He’d have to play like Josh Hart. Wing that can hit the boards, play d and hit 3s. Anyone can stick in the nba if they can play D and hit 3’s. That’s what the league has become because it’s nearly impossible to stop penetration. Penetration to get the D to rotate and pass til you get an open 3. That IS the NBA.
  12. I think his time on the couch next to Kumerow is coming soon. Maybe in 2025.
  13. I didn’t say the only reason he’s on the team is because they like him as a person. They obviously like his speed, it’s the only thing he brings to the table on the football field. I should’ve been more detailed in my explanation. if they didn’t like him as a person, he wouldn’t be on the team. He was suspended for the season for conduct detrimental to a team. If they didn’t like him as a person. I don’t see why a coach/GM would sign a player that was a poor punt returner while also getting the 🥾 if they didn’t like the guy in the locker room, why would they risk bringing him in? Because they know and like him…..and he’s fast. If he was just fast….he wouldn’t have been signed imo.
  14. Same could be said for John Brown and Cole Beasley. Josh got Gabe Davis 13M a year. Obviously a gross overpay. he made Robert Foster look like an NfL WR. He’s made chicken salad out of chicken **** before. He’ll do it again. Not sure who, but if we’re going to take this route (no big name WRs) i’m glad we’re rolling the low risk dice on physically talents guys.
  15. Ouch- was really hoping Yttv would be an option. It’s been my best experience so far with regards to cable. IPTV looks like the best route overall so far. thanks to everyone who’s chimed in 👍🏻
  16. Yeah, I thought he was a clear upgrade over mckenzie. I was wrong about him AND Harty. As a man, I can admit it when I’m wrong. Unlike others, who have apparently never been wrong. Sherfield brought more to the table as at least he was an asset in the run game. He was an upgrade over mckenzie. He signed with the Vikings. Harty clearly lost a step and didn’t have the explosiveness I remembered from NO. He signed another contract with the ravens. Kumerow is on the couch like Chad Kelly and Mckenzie likely has a job because Schoen and Daboll like him as a person. I may have gone overboard with how much better Sherfield and Harty were compared to lil dummy and Kumerow, but they are better. speaking of Scott- where you at my guy? Homie changed his username or leave the board?
  17. Yeah, I have a site- it tends to lag a handful of times a game and I sometimes have to refresh. I’d prefer to have something more dependable for Bills games.
  18. That’s great, thanks. My biggest issue with being there during football season is not watching with my crew. Would be nice to meet up with some Bills fans.
  19. Sweet, thanks for the reply. I don’t mind being up all night. so big cities have the nfl ticket…. Only commercial properties or can a resident also buy it? Thanks! Oh well, I don’t mind paying at all, just wanna make sure I get my fix. How’s your experience with DAZN? Can you watch the game live? If it’s a delay, how long is the delay? Wow, This sounds the the way to go as a lover of all sports. Men’s college basketball too I assume? Never had any issues watching a bills game?
  20. My wife and I are looking into spending lots of time in Southeast Asia in the near future. Looking at the pros and cons- my only con so far is watching Bills games. Do any of you guys/gals live in the area or have experience watching games there? Is it possible to have YTtv and buy the package and use a vpn? Are games broadcast on any cable? I’d love to hear some discussion and get some advice on this.
  21. Dude is only here for those exact nit picky posts. Just ignore him
