  1. To the OP:

     

    You're looking at the US model (GFS) which isn't all that reliable that far out and is run every 6 hours with those model runs constantly changing. The European model (which is better but not perfect) has it possibly recurving northward and away from the US. Irma has taken a slight southwest dip which makes early trajectory forecasts difficult at this time. Most of my friends in the weather community think we're a good 24-48 hours away from really knowing what will happen with Irma and until that time frame passes most model guidance is essentially computer generated speculation. Case in point, if the cold shot of air we're supposed get midweek here in the northeast is timed right it may be enough to keep Irma from hitting the coast. If the timing is off, Irma could hit the coast, but we still won't know where for a few days.

     

     

    This. Anything beyond day 5 from now is a guess / coin flip, regardless of model, although personally I would put a little more stock in the ECMWF models than the GFS. It's going to crush the Bahamas but in terms of US landfall it could be a just fish storm in the Atlantic or it could be a Cat 5 hitting the coast. It is still too soon to tell.

     

    That said, even if BUF/CAR is moved due to weather, it's not going to be to Orchard Park. It would be a Monday Night game at a neutral site, i.e. Ford Field.

  2. New england, they think the bills are a joke and rex makes then a bigger joke.

     

    Same reaction I've gotten from my co-workers in Boston. Sports talk radio in this town sees this as just one more example that the Bills are a laughingstock and not to be taken seriously. "Be glad you glad you aren't a fan of that team" was one of the lines used.

     

    I don't consider Pats fans to be particularly astute or nuanced, since football was invented in 2001 for almost all of them. So I'm not surprised by the reaction.

  3. The closest example I can think of is Bill Belichick quitting as HC of NYJ on his first day on the job, then immediately becoming the head coach of the Pats.

     

    There was never any tampering charges against the Pats, and Belichick swears that he didn't already have the HC job lined up for the Pats, he just "wasn't comfortable with the situation in New York" (wink wink, nudge nudge).

  4. Why the hell was he listening to local radio? I bet he thought after the Packers win, WGR would be singing his praises. Haha, whoops.

     

    EDIT: Oh,and welcome to New Jersey Doug.

     

    Good question. What head coach - in any sport - should ever take seriously what is said on sports talk radio about them?

  5. Can Bon Jovi even place a bid given his known plan to move the team to Toronto? And what was discussed at that lunch between Bon Jovi and Roger Goodell? One could envision Comm Goodell, in not so many words, letting it be known that Toronto would stand a strong chance of getting a team when the NFL expands to London etc... so perhaps Bon Jovi's Group decides to not submit a bid knowing that Pegula has both the $$$ and the Will to see this thing through... Financing a new stadium in Toronto is gonna be tricky given current financial constraints there... It doesn't hurt to have Chuck Shumer's influence and the backing of Gov Cuomo either... Bon Jovi's Group may realize that moving the Bills is simply too costly to seriously pursue...

     

    When we talk about Bon Jovi's group - I would argue that MLSE needs Jon Bon Jovi more than he needs MLSE in this process. If the Bills don't go to MLSE (hopefully likely), then he will simply move on to the next consortium in the next city looking to purchase an NFL team that is up for sale. JBJ's seemingly stated goal is to become an NFL owner, and the particular city or team invovled I believe is agnostic to that goal.

     

    I can't help but wonder if the meeting was more Goodell providing future advice in this regard to ownership - because more NFL will come up for sale - as oppossed to it being specific to the Bills.

     

     

    Or, it could be Bon Jovi was scribbling down song lyrics that came to his head for his next record.
