But if they could get Josh to take a 115 million day paycut...watch out!

Damn...was hoping to go to this game, if it was not in Septmenber.

The Chiefs played on Thanksgiving and Christmas 2 or 3 years ago, as I recall. So there is precedent. The Thursday night home opener for the new stadium really sucks...I hate Thursday night games!

Sal Cappaccio replaced on Bills broadcasts..replaced by a familiar voice
Buftex replied to Buftex's topic in The Stadium Wall
Isn't it kind of that way with everything now? Everyone is plugging something else...everyone has a separate podcast...I think it is just the way sports media is going these days. I have listened to "Hooked On Bills" with Joe Marino for years. It gets a little repetitive, but its constant Bills content if I want it. I like Joe Marino fine, but I always thought it would be nice for him to have someone to bounce off of, conversationally....so now he has Jeremy from GR on twice a week...and does a guest spot on the GR morning show with Jeremy as well...it's just rehashing the same thing I just heard. Gotta say, if there is anything to learn from all of this, I listen a little less to all of it..and I think I enjoy the games more -

I got to admit, sometimes I find Schoop kind of amusing...but the more he talks about gambling the less interested I am in listening.. that said, I think he is possibly the worst person in all of WNY sports media to be hosting a Bill post-game show. Bulldog is fine...pair him up with someone else? Mike just sucks the joy out of things too quickly... -
Per Tim Graham https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/general/report-bills-oust-longtime-reporter-after-new-broadcast-deal/ar-AA233oxstly, Per Graham’s report, the new plan would keep play-by-play man Chris Brown and booth analyst Eric Wood in their roles, while legendary Bills player Steve Tasker would step in as the team’s new sideline reporter. That would presumably leave current sideline reporter Sal Capaccio out of a job

Anybody else surprised the Bills haven’t brought Tre White back (yet)?
Buftex replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall
Honestly, for the right price (which goes without saying) I wouldn't be upset if they brought any of those guys back. Cooks, Thompson and Tre all had solid seasons...and if I am being honest, I wouldn't be pissed (for the right price) if they brought Von Miller back for one more season. He had a pretty solid season in Washington, and he seems very motivated to play..as opposed to just get paid. But, who knows...I am so curious as to what this defense is going to look like -
I am hardly one to stick up for the NFL and their bleeding of their addicted fan-base...but beyond what you say, many of us here grew up in a time when you had to pretty much go to every Bills game played in Orchard Park to see it. Now, local teams games are broadcast in their market for free.

THROWBACK THURSDAY 1967 Buffalo Bills Highlights
Buftex replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
Hard to remeber a time, not too long ago, when anything over 45 yards was considered low probability... -
Blue helmets are ca-ca...I don't care for the jerseys much either, but it's just the reality of the NFL these days. Gotta sell merchandise. The jerseys wouldn't be as bad, if they didn't have the logo on the upper right front. That looks pretty amateurish

Time to move on from #17....Beane needs to get all the draft capital he can!

Random talking head says something about the Bills

How old are you? -
I'm going to get up on my high horse for a minute re: Guardian Caps
Buftex replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
All that may be true... but you don't think that knowing your brain may be scrambled any time you get any sort of hit may have affected his pocket awareness? He did lead the league in passing one year. -

Buftex replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
You are kinda making my point. He may suck, but his fear of injury, or being perceived as "soft" for trying to avoid injury, did not help his game. His career started out somewhat promising, but the concussions, and then trying to play while avoiding them, probably didn't help him at all. -

Buftex replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
If ever there was a guy in this era that should have worn a Guardian cap it was Tua. Say about him what you will, but I happen to think his career was severley altered because of concussions. He admitted, he wouldn't wear the cap, and his reasons were all about the perception that other players, and fans, had of players that wore them. I would be curious to read the results of these studies. It almost sounds like it's legal BS that is making them less safe, than the actual caps. That is a separate issue from whether the guardian cap makes helmets less safe, isn't it? It's all about liability, not safety. This sort of thing happens is all kinds of industry. I see it in my job, almost daily. The bigger "danger" seems to be who will be held libel for an injury, rather than doing what will help minimize the chance of injury
