It's a petty gripe, but I don't like the new numbers with so many being single digits for so many different positions.

By some odd chance, do you ever sail out of CYC?

I live in LA, and I'll be there with my kid. If you're traveling from out of town, you will be shocked at how many transplant Bills fans there are in LA. It will almost sound like a home game. Should be some fun tailgating, also. Stay tuned!

Can we please dispense with this notion that Poyer has in some way not honored his contract? It is simply not the case. Voluntary workouts are voluntary. He is not contractually obligated to be there.

Elam is so engaged in everything.

Did I miss something? Is someone not fulfilling a contract?

They could free up cap space with a restructure.

The NFL is a business. The owners, coaches, players, and their agents all understand that. Not participating during OTAs while a player's contract is unsettled is part of the negotiating process. Poyer certainly understands that. Your characterizations of Poyer pouting, and crying suggest that you don't.

I personally have every intention of trying out this "Loganberry Whiskey Sour." But, in the meantime: 4 oz. bourbon whiskey 2 oz. lemon juice (lime works-- lemon/lime is even better) 1 oz. 2:1 simple syrup 1 T. orange marmalade 1 T. egg white (or just throw in an entire egg white) Shake vigorously with ice (you want the egg white to get all frothy), and double strain into a chilled heavy lowball glass. (If you don't have a heavy lowball, drop in a large ice cube, or sphere.) Drink, and enjoy, and don't bother listening to a podcast that would have the audacity to suggest that Isaiah McKenzie isn't a versatile player.

Perhaps there is a point to be made that McKenzie lost his P/KR role. But, to suggest that McKenzie isn't versatile is just ludicrous.

I only ever see tickets being sold in pairs. Really hard to find a single. About where are you sitting, if I may ask? Just curious.

Oh, I feel you, believe me. This was a bitter pill to swallow. Part of it is the nature of this particular game. Looked into what a Rams ticket in October would be for comparison, and they're about a third the price. I wasn't going to do this game myself, but friends I know who have been to SoFi were telling me what a great venue it is. If you go onto Gametime, I believe you can get two tickets for maybe a little over $350, before fees, and taxes (so $400ish?). That will put you over the corner of the end zone in the top level. Basically the worst seats in the house, but... if there "aren't any bad seats..." I found an interactive map that shows about what your view would be. https://chargers.io-media.com/web/index.html# Parking though... Holy crap! I'm going to have to get creative on that. I think we might take the train in from a few miles away with our bikes. Parking at the SoFi for that game starts at $296!!!

Well... no...

Gametime seemed to have the best prices by a little, but I actually got lucky with a couple resale tickets from Ticketmaster.

Just bought tickets for myself, and my soon-to-be 12-year-old son Bruno to the Bills @ Rams game at SoFi. OK seats, I suppose-- front row of the top tier, and they weren't cheap, considering the altitude. I haven't yet been to SoFi, but I'm told "there aren't any bad seats." We'll see... The last Bills game I attended was the Chargers debacle at Stubhub center (that's a 24,000 seat venue) where Nate Peterman schatt himself in the first half. I witnessed that abomination from the fourteenth row at the twenty yard line. Fourteenth row at the twenty yard line for this game was listed at $1,850 a seat. So, I'm getting Bruno a set of binoculars for his birthday.

Am I the only one that's annoyed by all this "The Bills are going to the Super Bowl!!!" talk? I'm way too superstitious, and it's pissing me off. Everyone shut up already! Let's at least play a game or two!

Which it might have! That would be the most disturbing part if I were a Dolphins fan.

Ya know... I'm starting to think maybe they did...? In one of those Tweets in that article, Brendan Schaefer states :"Under no circumstances can you tweet this as the actual team. In the time of year for OTA propaganda... this is a hit piece!" I'm starting to wonder if maybe he's right. Is Tua preemptively being thrown under the bus? And if there's an organization that knows hot to treat their QB like *****, it's the Miami Dolphins.

WOW!!! That ball must have gone, like... 40 yards! And how'd he get that much hang-time?

IMO, Hughs was part of what really should be considered a legendary defensive line-- Jerry Hughs, Marcel Darius, Kyle Williams, and Mario Williams. The year Jim Schwartz was DC, they led the league in sacks, yet had the second lowest blitz rate.

I hope when he hangs it up he, and the Bills would consider signing a one day deal so he can retire a Bill.

There's a lot of good segment options here for him, tho. He could do an analysis segment called "Brady's Asterisk." He could do an interview segment called "Brady's Soft Balls." He could do a call-in segment where he answers callers' questions, and then destroys his phone at the end. He could do something similar to Baldy's Breakdown, called "Brady's Spycam."

idk... every time I hear him interviewed, he seems like the dullest human being on the planet, with the personality of a dish towel.

Talking about the Winfield Grill in Rochester on Winton. I went there with my brother a couple years ago when I was visiting Rochester (I live in Los Angeles now, but I still have lots of family there). We used to frequent the place back in the '80s. Still open.

Winfield Grill in Rochester for the original recipe of what would eventually be called "Buffalo Wings." Essentially deep fried wings with equal parts butter, and Tobacco Sauce. They're still there, but have upgraded their recipe, of course. Also, Sal's Birdland in Syracuse. The first place in the country to sell wings as its own meal. You can still buy Sal's Sassy Sauce at Wegmans. Also, my personal fave: Country Sweet Chicken and Ribs. An addiction. First opened in a tiny little store on Monroe Ave. That original place is long gone. They only had a total of three locations in Rochester at their peak. Now, they're down to one location on Mt. Hope Ave. You can still buy Country Sweet Sauce at Wegmans, and "Country Sweet" has become a common flavor at other wing venues throughout WNY.
