    Graham takes a lot of heat here for breaking stories.  Theres nothing sensationalistic about this story or his presentation.  
     

    He has infinitely more details than you and I have regarding this.  I have no reason to doubt the facts he has written his story on.


    Her husband was let go after the article was published.

     

    The “churn” you describe has really and simply been Pegula concentrating the control of the teams…on Terry Pegula.

     


    I agree.   I’ve been blocked by Tim Graham on X for mild pushback on something, so I’ve dealt with his thin skin, but he usually pushes back on sensationalism and is probably one of the few local reporters who break news about the Bills/Sabres ownership and. front office. He’s a good reporter whatever faults in his personality.

    Sort of random observation but today there has been a big shift in OTC data. Mack Hollins, who was previously way below the threshold, is now listed exactly as cutoff player at 670 (I am not sure, but he was listed as something like 710th or so before).

     

    This results in Bills losing 5th round pick for Floyd, and leave us with 4th round for Gabe Davis only.

     

    I know that after Tremaine debacle these unofficial sources need to be taken with a grain of salt, but I still find it interesting.

     

    Hopefully once all is said and done Hollins will fall under the line and we'll get 4th and 5th.

    This happened last year I think with that site.  It was a glitch or something to do with the draft data.  I think it will be fixed soon.

  3. Not only do I admit that I didn’t attend the game, I also admit that I turned off the TV at half time and turned off the radio at 35-3.  I then proceeded to play a Ninja Turtles game on my Sega Genesis with my sister only to later turn on the Bills game again as they pulled within 4 points.

    there was a few text messages, including getting tested. i don't recall the specifics. but much of everything was negated by the fact that she claimed to be over the age of consent + could not directly recall him being in the room or at the party at the time.

    I don’t think there were any text messages about being tested.  There was a transcript of a call where he seemed to say it would be a good idea to get tested.  Could be taken different ways.  People are saying it means he was admitting he has a STD.  Not sure that’s fully clear.

    This seems pretty wild...apparently things were worse in NE than many realized even tho you heard some bits and pieces while the dynasty was still going, seems like many former players are speaking out about things and it paints a strange picture...

     

    Belichick was an overlord, task-master who treated Brady like an abused dog and Brady was constantly trying to seek and win his approval almost like a son-father relationship growing up...

     

    Like the stories about all the kids who are driven to try and prove their greatness to their fathers who never have anyrhing good to say so they work maniacally to continue doing more and more thinking each time that this is going to win his approval, but yet it never does creating a vicious mental cycle where he is trapped because he has put so much effort into it and is so invested that he simply cannot stop, and while he hates him for it, he also loves him too...

     

    Just paints a picture of Brady as someone who was emotionally abused like a son who was never good enough no matter what he did...

     

    At the end Brady couldn't take any more of it and left, saying he wouldn't sign another contract there even if he wanted to play til he was 50.

    You have to play to win during playoff vs just surviving in regular season. This seems to be a philosophy that holds them back.

    McDermott has been playing increasingly aggressive in the playoffs.  There is more luck than people think.  Close games are decided by a call here or a bounce there. You don’t play 7 game series in football. Best approach is have a competitive team every year, don’t dig a big salary cap hole and eventually luck will go your way.  My biggest concern is the salary cap and the win now move that have failed like Von Miller.

    I also thought his responses were better today, certainly better than I expected.  I have a feeling this may be his way of sending a message to Beane that he will not accept a pay cut to play for the Bills next season.

    Almost no way does he take a voluntary pay cut. If he does it will go as well as when Richie Incognito accepted one at first.
