    Raised in the Catholic faith, I was always surprised by the Latin American baseball players named Jesus, as in one of the Alou brothers. Just another one of those head scratchers seen throughout the years.

    That one is a double whammy.  
     

    You pointed out the obvious one but it is also pronounced “Hey, Zeus”.  It’s as if you’re buddies with Zeus and putting yourself on a level with him.

    you should, if you haven't already, do an internal audit of your posts and tally up the proportion that involve anything NE patriots.  It's got to be over 50%---you don't feel that's a problem?

     

    You're deflecting here, to say the least...and this stalking is something I allow, but feel compelled to point out.  Your Pavlovian output is interesting...

    Lol last I checked this is not a New England board despite your fervent desire.  My responses to you are indeed heavily NE related but that is due to your fandom and constant defense of them.  Don’t get me wrong, that stuff makes perfect sense on Pats Planet, but it’s on and misplaced here.  My posts not in response to you are about .043% NE related.  Audit for verification at your leisure.

     

    I guess you’ve now evolved by Bills bashing to defend Chiefs.  Should that be attributed to you being a fair weather fan or just a full time anti-Bills guy?

    A POS is a POS— no matter how many different teams jerseys he wears.  And every team has some.  Bills are no different—the point of discussion. That is such an overwhelmingly intuitive concept that even a guy with your abilities should understand.  Pointing this out shouldn’t harm you like this…

     

    focus on your NE obsession

     

     

    It may be intuitive but it is also irrelevant because it happened a long time ago in a completely different place with completely different circumstances.  You come to a Bills fans website to troll Bills fans.  At least that part is consistent.

    NFL draft rumors 2024

    After watching interviews with MHJ and how he is focused on football, his work ethic, humble attitude and a self described homebody….+ his dad being there to guide him…

     

    I’d be willing to push the chips in for him.

     

    there is an extremely high probability he is a Top 5 WR in a hurry with Josh Allen.

     

    Plus he referenced Josh as one of the 4 QB’s he’d love to play with…the other 3 QB’s were Hebert, Stroud, Lawrence if I recall

     

    I don’t know if AZ / LAC will pass on taking him.  
     

    I expect the cost is:

     

    28, 60, 2025 1st, 2nd + another pick

     

    It’s also possible moving back that much is a non-starter for those teams and we’d need to move into the teens first in order to accomplish the trade

     

    (example: Beane traded Cordy Glenn to move into the teens before draft, then moved up more for Josh)

     

    Spencer Brown could have enough value to a team like the Raiders at 13 if we include a 4th to make that deal

    Buffalo Sabres and NHL 2023-2024

    I could probably write 100 pages on this topic.  Quick summary.

     

    The NFL and NHL are very different.  NFL is very coach-centric, and the program kind of falls in line with the coach and they get a few years.  If they hit on the QB, and the coach has a decent head on his shoulders, you get what the Bills have. I think McDermott and Beane are strong enough personalities where they do what they think is right, listen to Terry, and easily convince him that their path is correct.

     

    The NHL is much more nuanced.  You cannot clear the cap and rebuild in 2 years like the NFL.  There are extensive international scouting and development requirements and seeds need to be planted years in advance.  Coaches are the lowest man on the totem pole, and are thrown away with the trash for a kick in the butt the minute things aren't going right.  There is an intricate balance and chemistry with an NHL team that cannot be achieved by looking at statistics.  

     

     

    The rot from the Sabres actually comes from the ownership groups that came before Pegula.  Rigas (the NHL), and Golisano eroded the franchise and its reputation in the hockey/NHL community.  Things got very stale and incestuous under Regier and Ruff.  Pegula came on and enabled that to continue.  He thought just adding monitary resources would propel the Sabres to the top.  All it did was magnify and compound the problems.

     

    Since then, Pegula has groped around, thinking he (and Kim when she was president) are the smartest people in the building.  They have failed to bring in anyone with any kind of credibility and experience from the outside.  The entire league has passed the Sabres by and lapped them 3x.  Their image in the hockey world has gotten worse through players' inability to succeed here, and things like the treatment of Eichel.  Firing a GM and hiring a nobody with the purpose of firing all the scouts and hockey personnel is also a terrible look.  

     

    For 20 years, this team has needed someone with credibility to restore the image of this once great NHL franchise.  The thing needs to be completely re-built from the top down with the guidance of someone with extensive experience and rolodex.  

     

    You had me until: “treatment of Eichole”.  That guy is a mass hole punk from the word go and deserved less than the treatment he got.  Also, you left out Tim Murray….the worst GM in the history of professional sports.

    As the OP eluded to...Matt Milano has had some trouble with injuries, and he's likely trending on the backend of his prime.

     

     

    I don’t think he was eluding to it. I think he was very direct.

    The O's are the latest to try to copy the Astros tanking model.   It's not hard to get into contention that way but it's a lot harder to sustain momentum than it would seem it should be.   Cubs did it, won a WS by the skin of their teeth and then quickly faded back into mediocrity and their stars fell to earth and changed teams.   The Blue Jays were supposed to be owning the AL by now after their 2017-2019 tanking yielded a team full of sons of former HOF/star players.  

    Tell me you’re clueless about the Orioles without saying you’re clueless about the Orioles.

     

    1. It is highly questionable whether they were tanking by design or whether it was simply a function of ownership’s unwillingness to spend.

    2. Characterizing how the Orioles have gotten into contention as “not hard” should mean the Marlins, A’s, Tigers, Royals, Guardians, Nats, Pirates, Reds, Giants, D-Backs, Mariners, are all similarly positioned.  Of those maaaaaaybe you could make a thin case for the DBacks and Reds.  
    3. Henderson, Holliday, Kjerstad, Cowser, Westburg, Rodriguez, Mayo, Basallo, Rutschman, Norby, Bradfield.  Easy?  Oh, and that’s after trading Ortiz and Hall for Burnes.  They also developed Kremer, Bradish, Bautista, and others far beyond their original profiles.
     

    You’re going to lean on the fact that they haven’t gone to 7 straight ALCS like the Astros and that’s true, so you’re right…..what they’ve done is “easy”.  Now list the other teams that have gone to 7 straight AL or NL CS’s since that is your standard.  Yanks?  Dodgers?

    Diggs traded to Texans for picks

    You are talking about two different games. The one where Diggs stood out on the field afterward watching the Chiefs celebrate was the AFC championship game the Chiefs won 38-24. The 13 seconds game where Gabe scored four touchdowns was a year later in the divisional round, and I don't remember Diggs doing any on-field demonstration after that game. 

    There are so many false narratives about Diggs, why pick nits on this one?

    Does Josh Allen still work as hard in the offseason?

    I know. But we happen to have the only QB in the league that can actually match Mahomes' play in the playoffs, so naturally it's frustrating that our current regime can't find a way to make that work. Assign blame to McDermott and Beane however you wish. Just don't be so simple as to say "Mahomes has 3 Super Bowls, Allen has 0, therefore Mahomes is in a completely different tier." Any difference in play between Allen and Mahomes is not the reason for the difference in their teams' results. To make that claim is to say that, like I said above, elite players and elite coaches don't matter.

     

    I mean I've seen real people on this forum say that Brock Purdy deserved to finish ahead of Allen in MVP voting. That's how insane the conversation has gotten. I guess it needs to be reminded from time to time that QBs represent the plurality of their teams' success, not the majority.

    I gave you a red x but to clarify, the part about Purdy is completely accurate.

    With your Dolphins straw man reply noted, I'll get back to what was actually said. On the Bills there are players schemed/formationed off the field all the time. It's pretty easy to tell the 2nd tier guys acquesing to calls by running off the field , often showing disappoint they aren't in the next play. Diggs leaves the field when he wants to. It's been absolutely clear this past year he takes a blow when he's losing interest. I have no idea the coaching and team strategies in Miami, but almost to a man you can't keep our guys on the bench if they are schemed in. Not the same for Prince Stefon. You can argue the team has some fault keeping him in most play sets but he is getting paid more than the rest of the receiving corps and with that comes the expectation of having the biggest role. For my money Diggs has always had ideas about how offenses he's in should be run, but his ideas are wholly egocentric. Hard worker with a hard head. One of his teammates in Minnesota said before he came to us- "the last guy on our team I would let my sister date is Diggs". The people who work with him most closely seem to get it.

    Seriously?  The sister dating thing that was clearly a comedic video?

    That’s your conjecture, they didn’t toss him out because he was a easy to get sling with, sure he was a helpful addition, but he like Beasley made himself replaceable. 

    You called him a name; that was the conjecture.  I simply pointed it out.  Shouldn’t the burden be placed on the one making the claim…..you?

    Diggs is an azs hole, a good receiver, but an azs hole none the less, that coincidentally disappears in the playoffs, is what it is, you could of course follow him to Houston…,

    Most of the stuff discussed about him here is either conjecture or completely made up. Just because he isn’t o the team anymore doesn’t mean you need to act as if he was meaningless.  He wasn’t.

    Why does my QB who has so much ability choose to employ that ability elsewhere?  Why does he choose to wear a suit to the Kentucky Derby which is a color normally seen only in sherbet?  

     

    Why do fans assume I’m the villain?  Do they not see me work my ass off?  Do they not see me develop a relationship with a young boy who lost his father?   Why must they take positive things I do, and post threads implying I am self centered and think less of others?  Is our society so intolerant that it cannot accept a personality driven by success?  Even if the desired success is for not just me but for the team and city?
