Greg, I’m not an NHL guy, but enough of my family and friends are so that was my reasoning. I do understand the issues of the Sabres and have heard the stories about employees, but not my concern. I hope for those I care about the Sabres turn it around like the way they have done a great job in the Bills. Yes, Wrex was a monster mistake, but they have been on point since with this entire group from Beane, McD, and al of the subordinates.

Absolutely. It’s a shrewd move. Keep makin the donuts Terry. Easiest way for us to keep the Bills and Sabres in Buffalo. Not a big hockey guy, but I know you guys are so glad the culture of these teams here continues.

Cool story Donuts. We didn’t have a milk man growing up in Hamburg, but when I tell people this, they laugh or are at least surprised. We had a vending machine half a block away on South Park Ave. a milk machine. You put you’re 50 cents in and an old cardboard quart of milk came out. In the winter it was always frozen (shocker). I hated it as I was the youngest which otherwise means indentured servant, so you get done playing sports with you’re friends, then finish you’re hw., and Dad barking “we need milk for coffee in the morning”. You put all that crap back on in 15 degree weather, and go down before you can watch a rerun of the Brady Bunch or Star Trek on Channel 29.

No, it was just funny. I actually would love him to go to any team we’re competing with for a playoff spot to blow up the team with his nonsense. In all seriousness, I did mean I hope for his sake he gets help, as this isn’t just bravado. He really does need help.

My son asked me the other day what a Walkman was, and did I have one. I threw a pretzel at him and called him a wisears. He’s 21 and was trying to tweak me. My boys especially can be wisearses. Reminds me of you and, Huds, Ridge and so on. They are actually pretty funny kids. They look up crap we grew up with and say dad remember 8 tracks, vcrs, etc. their way of letting me know in their eyes I’m old. It’s actually pretty funny. My typical response other than an occasional snack thrown at them is to tell them using Belicheck’s line, go insta, snap, twit something. Cue the Roll eyes By my sons. At least my daughter is still sweet.

“yeah, and get off my lawn”.

Reminds me of the old days when many of us were kids with the Superstars. Remember when Gasteneu and LT had the shoulder press contest, the obstacle course with Lynn Swan and others. I know they make too much $, but that was fun in the off season when I was a little tike. Personally, I’d rather have this vs. a Pro Bowl. The QB’s could do a throw off for distance and then accuracy, athletic competition for several other players, and so on. Make it two weeks after the SB so even the players on the teams who are in it can have fun too. Make it a big charity thing, and the MFL machine can pump it up on prime time. How fun would that be. Putting Lamar up in a dash against some of the D Backs and WRS. Some type of weightlifting for the big dudes, and so on.

Putin, amen. It’s a pipe dream To think we’ll have fans in the stands. If we still have a season and do well, is to so bad we watch from our homes. Not living in Buffalo, I’m happy to pay for the ticket and enjoy it with my boys and Dad.

Not a practical joke, just a serious question, the Bucs and a few other teams are delaying bringing in their rookies until later this week. So, has anyone heard whether as of yesterday the Bills rookies are still coming in today to get tested. I thought they were doing the COVID testing, and then getting their physicals. I heard the QB’s and injured players were allowed in the building Thursday. I assume everyone else by next Monday. They still need to get this freakin plan done. I’m betting they might break up practices into two groups, ie. starters in the am, and back ups in the pm, and use both locker rooms to maintain spacing.

It’s all but assured the Bucs aren’t going to have fans either. They stopped selling tickets a couple of weeks ago, and with the spike, it’s just a matter of time before the three FL teams close down their stadiums.

Zoidster, cool name and great idea, but they posted losses of $1 bil. In 2018, $863 mil. In 2019, and have bank note owed in 2024-25 of $3.6 bil. I’m sure they eventually will be fine and make an interesting product, but do they want an additional spend of $4 mil/yr. when economists have reported the advertising does not equate to increased sales by renaming a stadium. That’s why a monster company that sells everywhere like several such as Target, Amazon, etc. can absorb the cost and not work up a sweat. Wegman’s as many know is a privately held company in an industry that has razor thin margins. They may be worth $9.2 bil., but they run their company somewhat lean. They are a great company to work for as reported by Forbes.

Papazoid, good one on Green, but the Wrex one, are you trying to give me nightmares of that guy. He’s such a baffoon.

GB, pretty cool. I don’t know if you ever listen in one of their off season series, but the Blitz does a look back at drafts from three years ago, and then evaluates hits, vs. misses. It’s fun to see in retrospect as they go division by division, and evaluate teams entire draft. I kind of like it. Mark Dominic kind of captains this series and he’s a pretty good talent evaluator.

In the future, post vaccine if that happens will bring back at least two pre-season games as the owners make almost all profit from it. Players don’t game checks, just a stipend. I’d be fine in the future with just competitive practices to evaluate players.

It’s sad he’s fallen this hard, but if he does play, he’ll be an incredible distraction to another team. For his sake, I hope he gets help, and moves on with his life.

I would have been fine at 8th, 9th, or 10th, but then again, does it really matter?

Big Gun, no arguments the names are cool, but not the NFL. That’s why if you do a quick search of a,l the NFL stadiums, none are after a company promoting alcohol. Hockey and MLB have different rules. Personally, I think it’s silly, but they haven’t come around yet. They probably will as they loosened up on the betting thing, so it would make sense beer companies will eventually be able to get in on naming rights. Once they do, Anheiser Busch, Coors, and so on will jump on it.

I expected no preseason. $ maker although less, but still almost all profit for the owners. Next step is daily testing, but to protect them they will force the players into the new helmet, etc.

Mike, my bud, you know I’m a fan, but I think you meant Conjugal visits unless this is a joke I don’t understand. Probably auto correct. Happened to me a ton. Not sure why we care about Dak, other than we’re bored waiting for a camp.

So here’s another idea for a corporate giant as I looked up the others. Target is a monster and can easily absorb $4 mil./yr. These companies like Amazon and Target can use as advertising, and is not a big deal to them. Smaller companies like Wegmans are not going to absorb this expenditure. I bet they are looking at exactly that type of company or BP, Exxon, and so on.

No, but I stayed at Hilton last night.

me too Ridge. If I could only find a Mighty here in Fl.

Last I checked, beer and cigarette companies can’t do the naming rights thing, but could be wrong. Good idea, and any beer company would meet all the criteria, just don’t think they’ve relaxed the rules enough. If they did, you’d see Coors, Budweiser and half a dozen other stadiums named after beer companies. Not my editorial as could care less.

As my grandma said, don’t go away mad, just go away.

In the AFC, I’m game for top 3 with the Ravens and Chiefs, and honorable mentions to Pittsburgh and Denver, but over 3 years, huh? Beane has done nothing but make this team better with each year. Lots of competition on the NFC side, but does that really matter. You can make a good argument on TN, as they have a good team, and RT might repeat for a good season.
