Domestic violence, child abuse, violent behavior in general; all legitimate things to call the NFL to task on. Jiggle tests and tampon advice? Not so much. And to my knowledge, the Jill's have been more or less run by a woman for years, so this isn't some "poor treatment of women" by the league. They are just using this as an opportunity to leverage the current climate in their favor.

Meh. Volunteer position with some perks and occasional pay that the team outsourced. But hey, let's pile on the NFL with more faux outrage. Gotta strike while the iron is hot.

CPL might be more appropriate... (California Penal League)

Did you go to Fredonia? After a while he stopped taking calls from there.

Can you and The Dean please stop having a reasonable conversation? You're really diverging from the normal level of discourse and frankly, it quite disconcerting.

This.

I'll offer whatever help/advice I can, which unfortunately may be limited given that I'm occupado on Saturday night. That being said, why don't we help him come up with a basic iternerary? Not telling him what to do per se, but maybe help with where to go, estimated times, costs, stuff like that. For example, JMora, do you want to stay downtown or near the stadium? Downtown will offer more to do Saturday night, but you might find it easier to stay near the Ralph to ease your commute in the morning. Plus, if you stay near the stadium you can party at the Big Tree (mentioned by Andre in his HoF speech). The more we know in terms of stuff like that, the better advice we could collectively offer.

I'm working remotely, and while I am getting stuff done, admittedly I've had more productive days.

Awesome. Can't wait to have you in Buffalo!

Yeah, I even emailed Kryk to thank him for his solid reporting.

My one friend always used to say "Go Bills.... and take the Sabres with you". Maybe Pegula can finally take them both to a championship.

Just get a new one. They're cheap. (Like Pegula)

Sunday is gonna be nuts. We should hang our collective heads in shame if that's not the loudest, most emotional crowd in Bills history.

I thought about that, but I don't want to cry in public.

Put it this way, by today, the trust should have a pretty damn good idea which bid they will be accepting. It wouldn't be a stretch to think that if it's Pegula that they might invite him to attend the home opener. And if so, why not a teaser shot on our brand new JumboTron?

Now that we've gotten the big road monkey off our back, we can look forward to the home opener. For me it's the most fun game of the year, regardless of the opponent. The weather is usually gorgeous, there is a positive buzz in the lots, and being early in the season, the female fans tend to dress provocatively. So, with all of that being said, here are the top 5 things I'd like to see at the home opener against Miami: 5. Good weather. 4. The D really applying pressure to Miami - I think we can really rack up some sacks. 3. An energized crowd. See the Seattle/GB game the other night and tell me that fans can't have an impact on the game. 2. Continued growth from EJ. Yesterday was a great start to a season, and Rome wasn't built in a day. I'm sure we can expect bumps along the way, but having another solid outing from EJ in front of the hometown crowd would be fantastic. and #1..... I'd love it if at some point during the game, they were showing random shots of people attending the game, and one of them happened to be of Terry and Kim Pegula. The place might seriously go nuts. GO BILLS!

Oddly, I am too. I'm usually ecstatic after a win. I'm thrilled, don't get me wrong, maybe I'm just recovering from indigestion from a belly full of fingernails.

I'm not thinking we'll win, but I'm am convinced we will put up more than the 10 points predicted by the BN today.

Decent post Bill. You still didn't address the obvious questions about Pegula not being able to two football teams in the same hemisphere or the fact the some of the staff may have had an argument about which lager is best suited for the players. I'll give you a 3.5 out of 6.

I've heard similar reports, albeit from a very different source most likely. I bumped ino someone who has been a long time Bills employee and struck up a conversation. Without getting into specifics, this individual interacts with the team and coaches on a daily basis. He shared a bunch of things, including how sad everyone was when Gailey was fired, if for no other reason than the guy was a class act. The one thing that really stood out though, was his insitence that over the last twenty years, he's never seen a more tense, stressed out group of players and coaches. Said it was palpable. edit: stojany lap top

I know who he is, I just happen to disagree. Listened to him for years, and while he might have been a little odd, never found him to be particularly bad. edit: sp

How is Art Wander in "the worst broadcasters in the history of sports"?

Look out Dan Eaton!

Same here but add to that every home game since the policy went into effect. I said it last year and I will say it again; If you're some random person walking across the street from one lot to another with a beer in your hand, you're probably not amongst those who will get cited. They are most likely looking for people who are out-of-their-minds drunk or those causing a disturbance.

I'm hoping Glenn is just really rusty.
