We should have had the option to vote for more than 1 option. I’m standing with the offended at the moment but if you’re offended it could be for multiple reasons. It evokes violence and death and religion and sport should be separated. The name was even cleared by the archbishop!! Also, the colors are black and gold as a reference to oil aka “black gold.” There are more environmentally friendly sources of energy.

Not true the last team name change was the minor league baseball team. They are now the New Orleans Baby Cakes and it is awesome!! I voted for the Rougarou for the basketball team. The Pelicans were an old New Orleans baseball team. Benson wanted that name. Now, there is a boxing champ from here using the Rougarou nickname and he even wears the werewolf mask. I love it!!

Fun fact about the Saints. They are the only team in professional sports that doesn’t have the trademark for their logo. They only own the color scheme.

I don’t think I’m going to Baltimore but may hit the home opener the next weekend. I’ll be in Houston too. Hoping to try to hit another road game somewhere and another home game.

Yeah, they tried to get back into the 2nd when he was there.

No idea where it came from. He is pretty plugged in and has given me a bunch of info in the past but he also is a WGR listener (and caller). That’s certainly possible.

Yeah, speaking of looking under every rock where is @Boyst62? Speaking of mistakes I haven’t seen him in a while.

I don’t necessarily believe it. It doesn’t make sense to me but he is right more than he’s wrong. We will see I guess.

I don’t necessarily believe it but heard it from a guy that has had a lot of info in the past.

I was a big fan of Mitchell coming out. I still am. Hearing some buzz about Dez (don’t know if it’s real). Stay tuned...

Hearing some buzz about Dez...

Not everyone...

I think it’s telling that the Bills tried to trade back up for Christian Kirk. That tells me that they understand how bad that group was. Outside of KB I wouldn’t say any holdover is a lock.

Alexander to black Humber to blue Vallejo to blue Stanford to red Hughes black Washington blue Yarborough blue Teller Blue Neal black Bush blue Great work as always!!

I think that the Bills beat the Chargers in Week 2. The Bills are pretty tough at home. Baltimore is winnable but the Ravens are probably a TD favorite at home.

No doubt, the Pegula have done wonders for WNY. A lot of other people invested downtown before it was “cool.” Croce, Termini, Sinatra, etc... have done a ton for Buffalo by investing early.

Ha ha, did you forget about October Surprise?!? We didn’t have power for like 10 days!! I’ll give you September (and you can combine late May and early October). The early part of the football season is great weather. It is almost the opposite here. June, July and August are oppressive. This last week has been especially hot. The heat index over the weekend was 114!! You either stay in the pool or in the AC. You really any do anything else.

A lot of cities have that if you are with the right people. Detroit has everything that you listed except NF (which no one in Buffalo ever goes to). I spent the overwhelming majority of my life in Buffalo and my family is still there. I am there all of the time. Objectively viewing though as an outsider it is near the bottom of the list. The weather is nice 3 months of the year. It’s a great place to raise a family but doesn’t offer anything that the overwhelming majority of NFL cities don’t have. I have a great time in Buffalo but I know where to go and what to do. If I were from any other city that would hold true. My sister has been in Cleveland for 20 years and that place has a lot going on compared to Buffalo. They have word class chefs (Michael Symon, Zach Burrell, Jonathan Sawyer), a bunch of breweries, 3 pro sports teams, casino, flourishing lakefront, vibrant theater district, museums, concert venues on the water, a nice zoo, etc... You can literally find a great time in any city if you know what you are doing. People always get insecure when this topic arises. Being objective though, Buffalo is way down on the list.

Believe it or not I’ve been on Twitter for almost 10 years. I was a very early adopter (although I still don’t have Facebook). I follow all kinds of stuff. That was a retweet from Rob Quinn. In my defense I wasn’t following that trash site (although I do follow some). I stumbled across it.

Donald will get done. They lose at New Orleans in the regular season. I think Minnesota goes into LA and beats them in the conference championship. Just trying to go bold...

I’ll go bold. The Rams go 15-1 and don’t make it to the Super Bowl.

This is pretty much where I’m at. If the young guys show signs of development we are good. Next year we will have almost $100m and 9 draft picks to address the offense. The big picture is a much larger concern to me this year.

I love Boston but that stadium experience is terrible IMO. The traffic sucks getting out to Foxboro and the fans know nothing. Jacksonville was a hostile takeover and it was hilarious. That whole lot we were in was nothing but Bills fans. Hyperbole aside, I saw more TBD members than Jags fans there. Chicago may be my favorite city in the country but have never been to a game there. My friends from here had the worst experience when they went to the championship game there in 2007. It wasn’t an isolated incident either. People were yelling things like “we are going to finish what Katrina started.” Here are people that lost everything that they had 17 months earlier. The atmosphere that day is still a popular topic around the city.

I 100% agree. If it’s a big win I can make it a few hours but rarely do I go elsewhere. We may have a few celebratory drinks and mess around. In New Orleans people may have a drink or 2 before the game and then head to warehouse district or Bourbon Street until midnight or later. My emotions have me drained by about 3:30. I don’t want to do ANYTHING that requires effort after a Bills game, no dinner, no party, no bars, no gym, no cleaning, no travel. I really just want to decompress after every Bills game. I feel like I played.
