Hope he gets the job.

Maybe...

When was the last time anybody liked a press secretary for a president they don't like? It's always funny when the MAGA-billys pretend that they will approach things with an open mind.

Nah...Crowder will be there

Weren't the Bills already ruled out as international game participants?

But she didn't lie about it.

Well, it was official Buffalo Bills media... sure they couldn't include some of the saltier comments!

So, you too have your head in the sand?

"We area only a year or two away from being a year or two away". The Bills mantra (or it should have been) for most of this century!

Agreed. The older I get (I know I am old) I still love the game...but all the periphery NFL coverage is just excruciating... I feel dumb for watching it!

Bingo!

Newsflash: your head may be buried in sand

The first year with red helmets was 1984...also Joe's last season in Buffalo.

Still one of my all-time favorites! Sorry \Go Bills In Dallas/, it's just the completionist in me..the rest of his official Topps football cards!

Slightly before my time (I was 9 months old when they won their second AFL Championship), but I think the coach in question was Joe Collier. He was Saban's D-coordinator during the championship seasons. Ralph hired him at 33, then the youngest coach ever in pro-football- Of course, he looked closer to 63...but people just looked older back then!

I understand the vitriol for Collinsworth (though he doesn't bother me that much) but I don't get all the love for Tirico. He's alright, but pretty bland to my ears.

It's a very modern-day slant on criminality: if I get away with it, I'm not guilty of anything.

I love the prime-time games...but the I feel jipped when they aren't playing on Sunday afternoon! I don't know if it is an official rule, or just an unspoken rule...but I thought that teams prime time games were capped off at 6.

I'm all about the Bills and Sabres...so no sweet taste of victory there. Before they sailed to San Diego, the Buffalo Braves were my #1 sports priority. Obviously, that didn't work out. I take a lot of ***** for it, but I adopted the Celtics as my team in the NBA. I loved the game, and we were suddenly without a team. I tried for a year to be a Clippers fan. I never get to see a game, they were never on in Buffalo...my only way of following them was reading the box-scores. Even with that, as they were a west-coast team, their scores didn't appear for two days, if at all. During the 1980 season, my cheap father, for some reason, decided to spring for cable tv. We got the Boston super-station. I had to choose between two teams I had never liked, prior to that. The Celtics or the Knicks. They were both on cable tv frequently. It was 1980, so yeah, I went with the front-running Larry Bird and the Celtics. While it isnt't quite the thrill I imagine a Bills or Sabres championship would be, but I have never regretted it, despite their up and down history over the last 30 years. The Celts have given me 4 championship teams to root for, in real time. 2008 was a thrill... high hopes for the 2021-22 Celtics...off to a thrilling start!

My dislike for the Islanders back then, was only topped by my loathing of the Flyers. That said though, Bossy was the first player on an opposing team, in any sport for me, that I ever remember saying "wow, that guy is great". I know Gretzky and Ovechkin will get all the headlines, but Bossy belongs right up there with the very elite goal scorers of all-time. A great hockey player. RIP

I have contemplated this numerous times over the years. To be honest, I am not sure Jim's NFL career would have gone as well as it did, had he not rejected the Bills in 1983. Not because he needed the USFL to perfect his game.... but because the Bills franchise was entering "complete trainwreck" mode at that point Kelly was drafted. Sure, they finished 8-8 that season, with Joe Feguson at the helm, but that was coming off the fumes of what Chuck Knox had built. Wilson had a brief flirtation with successful football with Chuck Knox, but his miserly tendencies kicked in, and slammed that window shut, while it should have still been wide open. It took Kelly snubbing, and almost shaming the Bills (or Ralph Wilson), into committing to be better. That is why I always contend that while Jim Kelly may not have been the "greatest Buffalo Bill" of all time, talent wise (that honor belongs to Simpson and Smith, in my opinion) he was, by far, the most important Buffalo Bill of all time. Of course, you can't definitively know what would have happened...but my feeling is, if Kelly had gone straight to the NFL, there is a good chance he might have still been sitting behind Joe Ferguson for a year or maybe even two. And Ralph was just not into spending money at the time... without the public embarrassment of not being able to land Kelly, and suffering through back to back 2-14 seasons, Wilson may have been very content to just coast without being committed to winning, as had been his tendency for most of his stewardship of the franchise. I remember Joe Montana, after his career was over, reflecting that things could have gone much worse for him...if he had been drafted into another situation (say going to a franchise run by Norm Pollom and Hank Bullough, as opposed to Bill Walsh) we might not remember who he was. I think that is something to consider in considering Kelly's career. Going to the USFL was actually a blessing for the Bills.

I actually thought that was a pretty funny one!

Yes....Jessi was amazing...a real loss, and most don't know it. If I was a film-maker, and wanted to make a documentary, she would be the subject. Incredibly interesting, if short life.

I actually have a Jim Kelly Houston Gamblers jersey, somewhere... and they are the closest team to me. I guess I will be pulling for them...any team but New Jersey!

I think it is time we realize, anytime somebody gets an extension, we are going to think they are getting over-paid. Carr is decent...he just happens to be playing in an era where the game has changed so much, that about a third of the rosters in the league have a QB that will likely retire as that franchises best QB of all-time, statistically.
