I just might need to wear my genuine souvenir Maid Of The Mist poncho if I tried one of those!

Is it OK if we watch the games anyway?

I have a friend who lost his sense of taste following treatment for throat cancer. He said it was absolute hell trying to consume enough calories on a regular basis. Fortunately, after a couple years he’s back to being somewhat normal. My Lebanese FIL lost his sense of taste after years of chemo. It was from him that I learned kibbi can be edible if you smother it in Texas Pete! (He passed away about 30 years ago, and as I was typing this a Whitney Houston song came on and my wife commented how he always had it playing in his hospital room - what are the odds?) Good luck to everybody!

Sometimes I like to think outside the box. It doesn’t seem to be catching on.

I see it as they are not quite as high on the Bills as they have been in previous years. We are still a top 5-7 team in most eyes, even in what could be a slightly down year. We have Josh, so I don’t think any reasonable people see our window as closed. I guess it’s a matter of perspective.

Are you trying to spice things up?

Because we will play in similar stadiums? It’s funny, I just sent a buddy the video of them trying to distribute beer at that place last year. They do this funny thing where they place the cup on something and it fills from the bottom up. Of course, when it’s full you still have a cup with a small hole in the bottom, and it will leak all over you. If you put your second beer cup inside your first, it buys you some time before it leaks on you. So at concessions they would fill one cup, ruining the bottom, then pour that beer into a cup that had not yet been perforated. But they foam up, so it’s happening at glacier speed. It was HYSTERICAL! (But very frustrating to spend half the 2nd quarter trying to get a beer.) The video is 27 seconds, and in that time 8 people behind the counter mange to crank out a whopping 5-6 beers. If our new stadium is like that, it will be torn down after the first preseason game! 😂

The last thing other than a game that I paid attention to on ESPN was Mike & Mike. They screwed that up, and I don’t like to listen to a bunch of people all talking in loud voices at the same time. I married into that, so I’m kind of sensitive to it. 😂 I prefer Dan Patrick’s formula, speak when it’s your turn to speak.

If he’s fired for cause you are probably off the hook for paying. If he’s not fired for cause, but you’re going to pay him the full amount, why not let him do the work? It just seems there is a piece missing here, but it’s none of my business.

Why lay someone off if you are going to pay him for the two years remaining on the contract? Is there something else up here?

When I finished reading this, I went right back to the top to understand what just happened. 😂 The cap is just a myth. It’s accounting nonsense, and I never liked accounting so I just ignore it. It’s worked OK so far. 🤷‍♂️ Edit; sarcasm can be lost on some. My bad. .

The Bills would definitely be an attractive landing spot for top candidates. No doubt in my mind. But remember, they are just like draft picks. Sometimes it works out, and sometimes it doesn’t. I think it’s becoming possible that my #1 reason that I want to win a Super Bowl would be to shut some haters and whiners up. Oh, and McD would have a new job in no time flat, despite being a “defensive HC”. Sure, he’s not been perfect, but I just don’t get the hate.

With whom? Where is this negative energy beside on this message board with a certain crowd? Saying it does not make it the truth. I think they are loose and ready to move on without the Diggs distraction. We lost a guy who could be a talented WR, but I’m not sure how much worse off we are without him.

It’s a certain group of regulars you can count on for this stuff. Sure, it’s a fair question. But I swear there are some people out there who hope we don’t make the playoffs so they can be “right” about McD or something else negative.

I vote we play the season before giving up. I know, call me crazy!

Why? We knew this was a year to take our medicine. We got some bad injury breaks and a malcontent. And yet we will still be competitive. Will you come back and tell us how great our cap management is next year when we have a bunch of room?

They just didn’t pick up his option. Kindly put. EDIT: I am sensing one more podcast. I can feel it. I think I may have the gift.

Cousins, Judon, Simmons, the offensive weapons……could the Falcons be a little interesting?

Wow! That took me back. RIP

We save that for the playoffs. Then we hold a little meet and greet for the new guys, complete with orange slices and name tags.

That’s perfect for me! Our first house in Sarasota, and first ever with a pool, we had a GIANT spa that would hold at least 8 adults, or a kindergarten class. The pool was small, but the spa was huge. Being a pool novice, I assumed the damn thing was heated. We spent a fortune on a pool renovation and the heat was added. Live and learn. Assume with caution. We actually found it very difficult to get a qualified person to do the renovation. One wall wasn’t plum and there was a ton of custom tile, and the one guy we found got out of renovations after us. It’s easier to build from scratch than fix what someone else screwed up.

I live in Atlanta, and they are pretty much an afterthought to college football around here. Having said that, they are in a weak division and may just surprise and win more games than you’d expect this year. I might even pay a little attention.

IDK about you, but we haven’t had a good rain in a while to cool that off. It rained every day we were in the mountains, and the highs were in the low to mid 70’s. It was glorious!

They should add a dome, just to be safe.

He’ll be back in time to win Super Bowl MVP! No, I’m not drinking. Yet. This blows but we played without him most of last year, and we can do it again. It would be great to get a guy of his talent back late in the season.
