No, do not mess with Carlin, lest you run the risk of having to explain the joke. That’s never good. The “average person” would get stuck on “the mean”, and not know enough to laugh. 😂

I said I had to draw the line somewhere. There’s all kinds of stuff on either side of the line. And sometimes the line has some curves to it. And the occasional crack.

I think we have barely peeked into the hall closet. I say we get smarter, keep looking and see what happens. We are NOT as smart as you think we are, I’m afraid. .

It’s really not the money as much as the hassle and the feeling of a “this is what you will have to do” attitude, again. It just rubs me wrong for some reason. But somehow I’ll see the Bills game, and that’s obviously the easiest and cheapest way. I certainly can’t deny that!

Take out wings can get soggy on the way home, at least they are less than ideal. I don’t want to deal with all the oil, so I’ve done a simple s/p then onto the grill. The top rack or indirect heat to avoid flare-ups, then toss with some Frank’s and it’s not bad eating.

That’s funny, because that is exactly what you are doing. Does she say we have blind spots and limitations? So we can’t really know. Why can’t you concede that?

I completely understand where you are coming from, but I have a question for you: How many MORE streaming services are you willing to subscribe to? If next year you had to add another stream, would you do that too? How about if it’s 3 more? Will you get them all? Is there a limit? Let me be clear, this is NOT about money at all for me. It’s about being told what I have to do to watch a Bills game. I got YTTV for the Ticket, I kept my satellite dish because it’s the only place I can get NFLN and it gives me NBC which is currently in a dispute with my provider. I have Prime for those games. I’ve played the game long enough. I suppose they want to push the envelop as far as possible to see what people will put up with and pay for. I am quickly approaching my limit with all things NFL. I’m watching almost nothing but the Bills games now. The London experience turned me off on the NFL. The Jags have been playing in London since 2013, yet the Bills lost a home game and were subjected to the jet lag “experiment”. I think it was Matt Hasselback recently saying how difficult it is to play in OP. THAT is a home game. This affects the integrity of the competition, IMO. Even who lands makes the playoffs, quite possibly. They also took out the good field and put us on a garbage field, the worst Von Miller had ever played on. I’m not looking for sympathy, I have no use for that. It’s my choice. I’m just venting that the NFL is pissing me off with their greed. I had a buddy who stopped watching the NFL after a strike in the 80’s. He just got sick of it and changed his ways, kind of like how I have become with the NBA. I LOVED the Braves back in the day, but my interest has gradually faded to where I don’t even watch the NBA Finals now, and I don’t miss it one bit. There are a lot of other entertainment options out there. I don’t know what I’ll do in this situation because I actually like Dan Patrick in the mornings. I listen to him on radio now because the free Peacock has his show delayed a day. (That was not the case until a few months ago.) I may try paying for a month to see if I then get his shows live because a Friday show on a Monday morning after a weekend of games does me no good. I certainly don’t need MORE content, and I don’t like being told what I have to do. Rant over….for now.

That has been the difference. I can feel that about this team. 😋

It’s that kind of organization, they want everything just right from top to bottom! Remember the snap count, wear your socks at the proper height, and don’t leave a dirty bong behind. They demand perfection. 🤷‍♂️

Restaurants are a great way to turn a big pile of NFL money into some spare change in your pocket. I wish him well, but the retired banker in me says please be wise. .

Irsay with high standards. That made me laugh. Irsay IS high. All I know is, somebody has coal coming in their stocking!

You know what? I have that stuff, and I STILL can’t see the Bills game Saturday unless I get ONE MORE thing in Peacock. They are just going too far with this. .

I feel like drawing the line here. I don’t want to be forced into getting yet another service to watch the Bills. Why not play every game on 17 different streaming services? Screw you, NFL. My plan was a sports bar nearby, but I am funny about drinking anything and driving. That means either zero adult beverages or trying to get an Uber close to midnight on a Saturday night. I have had some spotty Uber coverage since Covid (getting better recently) and I just don’t trust them that late on a cold night. Is it doable? Of course. Should I have to go thru this hassle? Of course not. Not after all the other things I’ve done to see games. This is one hurdle too many, IMO. They finally found the line I wouldn’t cross.

I remember being on the field for a Stones concert (my first ever) about 1975/76. The crown shocked me as It was not nearly so pronounced from where our seats were. SO, apparently home field advantage DOES matter. Calling the London game a home game for the Bills is total BS. That and the jet lag “experiment” are inexcusable. Add in the fact that they removed the good field to play on the worst field Von Miller had seen in 13 years in the league and it tells me the NFL does not care about the quality of the competition. They just want to push more streaming services on us, because for them it’s all about the money. EDIT: Dan Patrick (above clip) used to be shown live on the free version of Peacock. Now it’s delayed by one day. If I subscribe, will it give me “today’s” version of the show? The Friday show is worthless on Monday morning after a weekend of games. Anyone know about this? .

I don’t know if they will sign him, or even if they might be interested, but I feel good to hear they were staying in touch with him. That’s the right thing to do as a person, even if it might be awkward in some ways.

I am shocked that Roseanne The Annoyer has not appeared yet. This confuses me, since I believe it was true love. But I am willing to accept your inability to see greatness……to a boy that age.

He probably got to 380 lbs by eating a lot of Taco Bell. That would have to be a business decision.

This is great for you to interject this into a thread about positivity. There are plenty of negative threads, but I don’t recall you there jumping in with the bright side on those. 😂

He’s pretty consistent, I’m not sure he has anything other than what he’s posted here. I appreciate what appears to be a new physical attitude. Regardless of weather, who ever expected 45 runs vs 15 passes? We CAN run the ball, and we CAN attack defenses in ways that enhance our advantages. This looks like the team I was hoping for this season. Let’s win one game at a time playing this kind of football and hope for the best. Even if we miss the playoffs, that will give me a positive feeling going into the offseason.

As they were saying in the warmups, the Bills say the playoffs have already begun. And they would be right.

We need to keep playing that way every play of every game, and hope to get lucky and get into the playoffs. NOBODY will want to play the GOOD Bills. It’s a shame we are where we are, but no crying over spilled milk

What? And created. Nothing is in a vacuum.

Well, they are so determined to make it an international sport! Even if it is to the detriment of long time fans and the players.

Do you know what that actually means? We assume so much, like the people told their tattoo means something deep and wise, but it’s really an appetizer on the PF Chang menu!

It just happened in a tie game under 2 minutes with Browns vs Bears. Oh! You sound like my mother! She wasn’t kidding! 😂
