  1. Not technically a correct description. ATT formed a Joint Venture with another media company and they both put certain assets in the JV. Directv has been a looser for a number of years as the NFL payments have been heavy lifting for them. ATT got them off their books, or , will with a further divesture of more ownership. I think ATT still owns 70% about.
  2. I am not spending the new punter nickel until I see he can hold for our placekicker. He is just learning I read.
  3. Its not over until the fat lad sings they say.
  4. Sibngletary and Cook wil be good change of pace combination. (remembering thurmond Thomas and Ken Davis were that way)
  5. Rnd 2 pick 31 is almost 3d round imho.
  6. Didn't Vince Young's career also end in injury? Another running QB. Of course, Vince also couldn't and wouldn't follow orders/calls from the bench. I do recall Vince beating the Bills at the Ralph for the Titans I think before he flamed out.
  7. Yes, I absolutely respect the determination and work he put in to make himself what he is today. Many have God given talents, many don't work hard to develope what they have. Josh is to be admired for his character and hard work. Many doubted him, but, thankfully the Bills saw the character as well as the talent. THAT is what the team administration is supposed to do, and they did it well. Anyhow, I would admire Josh for the same were he elsewhere, and I would be envious he wasn't wearing the Bills colors in that hypothetical case.
  8. I wish we were getting the Daboll Giants....
  9. ATT is/has spinning of the satellite/streaming business of Directv. They have a partner now. Yes, Directv has been a huge loss for them.
  10. Actually, ESPN+ offers the choice of which broadcast you want to hear. I always listen to the Buffalo audio.
  11. I am in Florida also, I get the shout out with the hat also.....Pats fans sometimes say Go Pats, to which I reply. "That was in the past"
  12. The need at TE is dependent on Beane's plan wrt to Knox...sign him or let him walk. He is a pretty good TE imho, and they will sign him if they have the bucks.
  13. Ahhh....Oxford Pennant in downtown Buffalo makes Bills Flags, Banners etc. The employees even had a non game day event at the stadium last fall to commemorate those items. No sweat shop, they are a good employers. I think maybe about 50 folks. I have a relative who works there so I am aware. I don't think they have a company storefront however, but I could be wrong on that. They are right downtown! (I know, who knew!)
  14. We are former snowbirds now residents in Florida. We moved in 2019, and spend about 7 months in Fl. Our community in Ft Myers has Bills parties for the games and mostly we use the Sunday ticket on Directv......but only for 2022 going forward, as Directv is losing the ST after that. We have watched games at a number of venues in the Fort Myers areas , McPartlans on Summerlan had a big crew years ago watching the Bills but I hated the cow bells so me moved on. Don't know if they still do that there.
  15. Gilmore was not a pro here in his last stint. Laid off tackleing during his last (Wrex) season here to protect himself at the expense of the team. Bad attitude players like him are better off elsewhere. And, based on what he said about Buffalo area when he was here , he was never c oming here anyway. Beane, of course, had no way to read the old clippings and know what Gilmore really thought.
  16. I am somewhat amused at those who were against state funding of the new stadium, predominantly NYC folks. And, NYS did not help with the reno of Yankee stadium...it was NYC that did the public financing of the Yankee stadium project. Does NY State help the city with other matters regarding their budget, you bet! So, the state taxpayer indirectly helped with the Yankee Stadium project, whereas the state tax payer will be helping directly with the new WNY stadium. No difference imho. As for the downtown initiative, as a former season ticket holder (to old to walk in now) I would never try the traffic disaster that a downtown Bills game would be....I have been to Sabres games, and multiple the cars by5. That might take all night to clear out of the city.
  17. Brady's contract w Tampa Bay is $14 mil this year.....(yes) That makes Tampa Bay the fav for the Superbowl as they can afford the free agent pieces around him to stack the roster. Perhaps they will give him a raise though.
  18. Hmmm, when I need to prove legally that I have traveled a certain route on a certain day, I use paper boarding passes for that. (tax matters among other things) I guess I won't be able to prove I attended a Bills game, however, if I ever care. Oh well, not likely to come up.
  19. The Bills have been known to leak disinformation ahead of the draft. Or, is that the Sabres......
  20. Scorched earth agent, oh well.
  21. Virginia Tech was the source institution as I recall.....
  22. I thought Singletary found his grove the last 6 games or so in 21....before that he wasn't his normal self. So, his stats were not as good for the year.
  23. Diggs is part of the heartbeat of the team. Bean will try to keep/pay him. Unless a draftee shows up as a true #1. Even then Diggs should stay around if the Bills can afford it. He is positive energy.
