  1. I agree…he resigns to PS when he can nes a vet he can’t get claimed nor forced to sign elsewhere
  2. false…… most of a teams roster turns over significantly over a 4 year period even with stable coaching/GM.. your core players you drafted, you keep long term ( QB, WR, OT, OL, DL, LB, CB) with other places you use free agency and drafting to fill in holes. from drafting/ prospect development from PS you are looking about 35-40 players while the rest of the roster of 20 or so players you drafted or signed to multi- year contracts as free sgents.
  3. No… minnesota- Cowboys Herschel walker the commandos did the RG3 trade up.
  4. so the sky is falling? Got it….
  5. ehat about the elaborate proposaks and gender VRE eal parties….
  6. I don’t care about win/ lose. I’m curious to see some of the new/ young players and see how they do.
  7. buffalo has a small light rail line test takes you to waterfront/ downtown area where you have the hockey arena. In October their might be a hockey game going on then. Allentown area is a walkable area with shops snd restaurants. niagsra falls…you can walk over the rainbow bridge. The American side is a state park. The Canadian side is heave tourist area. The Canadian side you can see the falls from a better view. in north tonawanda near the canal therr is a walkable part with some stores snd restaurants. History lesson…..the Erie Canal entered the Niagara river not in buffalo but along the tonawanda creek ehich is the border of niagara and Erie count and has thecities of north tonawanda and tonawanda. In the city of tonawanda side therr is a decent city waterfront park you can walk along on bike paths. pizza and wing places you can find all over the place.each area has their own local places they go too. Many of thrm tend to be take out only with not many tables to eat at.
  8. Sounds like PS material with some leadership and semi coaching.
  9. I became of age in the early 90s… Some of these I recall. whrn I went to UB most stuff was at Smherst. Main Street departmrnts were med school of ehich statistics was under, and mathematics. Very thing else was at Amherst. I went to the UB main st bars..I can’t recall the names. Manikins was a night club on NF blvd roughly across the street from where Target/ Barnes and noble/ Best Buy plaza is located. a dive bar I regularly went to was Louie’s in NT. thrn there were the Canadian ballet theaters ……
  10. Read the details of the story and think about how you would feel if that was you.
  11. I like in the DC area…can give you stuff about there.
  12. KC gets more late slots because they get to play 3 late games at least by playing at their div teams
  13. You do realize that crew #s are arbitrary and they rotate crews to do different teams/ cities they will rote top team so they cover the top teams — especially in a Super Bowl network year.
  14. I’m not local so I rarely have heard him. Last time 8 live full time in buffalo he was only a few years in buffalo. i was surprised he was still young at 61. I work for the fed govt. I can retire with a pension at 60 which will be near the end of this decade. Do I plan on total retirement? No. I plan on doing other things. Does it have to be identical to what I currently do— no. hr has an interest in history and hr is capable of speaking bring a radio person …it makes sense. It’s not a full time gig.
  15. Good? This is garbsge…. yes if you have a big name QB on a high cap hit over their career you are going to go through some periods of rebuilding/ cap constraints i expect quite a few name players to not be back in 2024
  16. rxcept cable isn’t going to die. With streaming services raising fees it becomes a thing of what is the cheapest option. you have the same issues with streaming as with cable where you have to pay for the full family of stations, not just the one or two you want.
  17. the issue with 24/7 sports networks is the daytime ratings on M-F. most fans watching games are not obsessed sports nuts. They know there team but not much else. Thr sports stars in the broadcast booth will attract viewers. Just because they were a good athlete and popular star, does not make them a great tv personality or game analyst. The reason they had Todd mcshay is because he manages a site they acquired. He had bern the manager of that group for a long time. They did not hire another drsft guru as you seem to think. radio announcers need to be different than tv announcers. It’s a more descriptive format. Nation radio gets its re ensue stream from radio affiliate fees. Their operating expenses are covered by the radio fees. nfl is very different with a true national contract. Local markets don’t have their own tv crews. Other sports it’s different. Local teams need local crews. From a profitability standard you could pay the crews on a show a base pay rate then a bonus tied to the ratings/ ad revenue made. same with major shows like espn sports center…the anchors pay is tied to viewership/ ad revenue. what has hurt espn has hurt all cable channels and newspapers and the issue of internet access and wanting to see/ read it now.
  18. The thing in TV sports is that experts can easily be replaced with cheaper labor ( the recently retired athletes like thry were). same with print media. The reason you might keep 20 year veterans is because of something you can measure like resdship or page hite or something else that can drive subscription fees. some columnists have good writing skills and has established insider relationships to get info….which can be hard to do. those beat writers generally covering the team can get churned over because basic skill sets don’t advance much with age/ experience. thr big problrm I have is with long time personalities like Suzy Kolber and Neil Everett…these peop,e have bern on ESPN for a long time. Out of respect they should be able to go in a way better than a tweet.
  19. while I agree with what you said… denver has 10 loses with a one score 4Q deficit and 3 in OT They win half of those games they have 10 wins which puts them in the playoffs.
  20. i agree ive said it numerous times. You make it available on all platforms like how season packages are for other sports leagues and the cost is about 1/3 it is now they will bring in more than they got from YouTube. You can also sell individual team packages. You have a high cost PPV to get individual games just like direct tv, I’m not switching to you tube to get the package this season based on the schedule release. There are 3 games I won’t be able to get. Vegas and both cheats games. Dallas is a maybe because it’s not a clear east/west split with Philadelphia in the slot. The peacock game I could pay to get.
  21. This isn’t rocket science…. AE=37. AN=38. AS=24. AW=35 NE=44. NN=33 NS=29. NW=31 E-W N-S within conference E-E, S-S, N-W, W-N interconference 500 is 34 AE. 79 AN 55 AS 67 AW 70 NE 68 NN 64 NS 57 NW 82 Then you have 2x ( div-team wins) + 3 positional wins.
  22. Where I live the game I wont be able to watch at home…… week 2 Las Vegas ( Baltimore on same time) week 7 at New England ( Washington on cbs st 1 pm) week 17 New England ( Baltimore on same time) might not be able to see…. week 15 Dallas ( it’s not solo 425 game but it’s likely I can see it) week 16 at chargers on peacock. I would pay to watch the game one of weeks 15-17 I expect to be in buffalo to celebrate holidays with family. I’d guess week 15 at this point
