I have an old buddy (the only one I grew up with still in Buffalo I think) who has seasons for the Bills and Sabres. His wife will join him at some Sabres games but refuses to go to Bills games. That is why.

When we registered our son at FSU my wife noticed a table with some lonely students sitting there chatting. She asked what they were there for and learned that for $90 you could be guaranteed tickets to any FSU sporting event. We might have been the only people that day who knew what they were there for. He was there during their National Championship run and he got to attend a lot of games that were unavailable to most students. It was $90 well spent! My family had Bills seasons from the early 60’s until I left for college in ‘77. We also split season tix to the Braves with another family. Half of an NBA season is plenty. I’ve never lived near a team that interested me enough to have season tickets to see. I’m the guy who pays all the ridiculous fees to buy your seats when you can’t make it.

I had heard about it back then and this was the first thing I found when I looked for it today. https://nypost.com/2023/09/14/stefon-diggs-responds-to-bills-reporter-caught-on-hot-mic/ .

Maddy Glab thinks she knows. 😋 “There’s no control over Stefon Diggs. Dude’s gonna do what he wants to do. He’ll look in my face and say, ‘F you.’ How he treats everybody.”

Have you quit already? How about we wait for like…..IDK….the draft, and games and stuff. You seriously think this is a 4-6 win team? I’ll take the over for as much as you want, and I don’t gamble. The over doesn't seem like much of a gamble, however. .

Yes, because I would not tune in to see it. 😋 Moving on, appreciate what we got and no hard feelings. No huge surprise it ended this way. Again.

May he have two tipped ball INT’s and a fumble against the Bills in the AFCCG next year!

…and that is fair.

I think the Texans are hopeful they can replace Diggs’ production. Beane competes admirably on his field of play, IMO.

My point was, roster building is easier when all your money isn’t going to a franchise QB. We shall see, but I still take the Bills as a whole, and I respect what they are doing in Houston. The Diggs deal doesn’t move my needle much. I want to get younger, cheaper and on the proper trajectory.

Who is paying franchise QB money? That is the difference. It’s a blessing, and a curse. Yes, I just watched a Monk episode.

For what it’s worth, and for lack of a better place for me to do it, I need to eat some crow for being among the crowd who thought they’d never be so bold as to trade him due to cap implications. I was wrong. Not unhappy, but wrong.

It felt a bit like we lost our WR1 some time last Fall. Just a little more context. Part of me actually thought he was hurt. 🤷‍♂️ But he will come out fired up next year! I can guarantee you THAT!!! 😂

Any idea what it was before the trade? Did it move?

My son and his wife are down to their #17’s now, I guess. I had failed to give him grief on that. Until now. 😋

Exactly! It’s YOUR life, and it’s YOUR money. Use it as you wish, and be thankful that things like this don’t get you worked up enough that you keep telling other people how awful it is. Yes, it’s more. Decide and move on.

….it may have been an answer to his prayers. 🙏 😋

There are never any guarantees, but I don’t agree with that at all. They ripped off a bandaid. Next year it will be Von. We will get younger and cheaper, and that’s important. They have a plan in place to get a quality WR, I’m sure. It may not be one of the top 3, but maybe they have another guy or two they feel really good about.

Has this been posted yet? Maddy Glab, a reporter for the Bills' digital arm, went viral Wednesday afternoon after she could be heard saying, “There's no control over Stefon Diggs. Dude's gonna do what he wants to do. He'll look in my face and say, 'F you. ' How he treats everybody.”

I don’t like grouping and judging people like that. SOME of the WR’s are head cases, and it’s probably a good bit higher percentage than other positions. BUT, I’m sure there some Larry Fitzgerald types in the league who should not be lumped in with the head cases.

Maddy Glab and I are relieved that we no longer have him around forcing us to “like him.” It felt kinda dirty after a while.

OH NO! I wonder if they’ve signed the paperwork? Is it too late to rescind the deal??? 😂

….or maybe they love a 4th guy. The draft just got more interesting!

So, do we really want to be the Patriots here??? I’ll pass! 😋 I want to see what the numbers look like, but it’s almost like he was trying to wear people out. It seems that’s just who he is, and he will probably give it his all early on in Houston.

I think he’ll try and be on his best behavior….for the first year.
