  1. Doing that in yellow, if you know what I mean, would be super impressive!

    But…..it sure is popular at the end of high school basketball games! After all these decades!

    Well, that ain’t gonna happen. I suggest you get over it. The whole thing was a terrible mess, and we can’t undo it. All we can do is move forward. You sound like you're concerned as a selfish fan rather than looking at the bigger picture. He will be cleared and he has every opportunity to have a long and distinguished NFL career. It’s not about what you want. It’s not about you. We don’t even know if he’d want to come back here. .

    That is the most sensible thing I have read here in a while.

    You think I have a defeatist attitude. That’s actually hysterical. I find myself in the odd position odd being the “realist” this time around. He’s going to be in the NFL because he’s a good punter. He had some things to clear up before that could happen. This is not that complicated. This guy will get his shot. It was an unfortunate delay in his career, but it is not the fault of the Bills or the NFL. %$#^ happened, and now it appears to be cleared up. Period.

    What is the NFL supposed to do? The market will work. If he’s all that, he will have a job in the NFL. He’s not blackballed by the league. I suspect he will be punting for an NFL team next season.

    Life happens. Nobody promised it would always be fair. You sound like YOU are complaining as a Bills fan. Imagine how he feels. The Bills did what they had to do, and I have no complaints. It’s unfair and unfortunate, but it’s time to move on. .
  8. OK, is Mahomes too commercialized? He’s everywhere, and he seems just fine. Maybe the difference is…….something else? Something(s) actually football related? 🤷‍♂️
  9. Do you ever get tired of your thoughts and threads being roundly thrashed? Or do you take some type of enjoyment from that. I’m just trying to understand the motivation. To this point, you have 25 negative reactions, and 7 people who just laughed. Nothing positive. I don’t care what he does (within reason, of course) during his free time. I care about how he prepares for football and how he performs. If he wants to wear a bunny suit in Times Square, we can make that a tradition as long as he is winning.
  10. I don’t think people are missing that point. They just don’t care. People just don’t dwell on PSE picking up cost overruns because they want something to complain about, in many cases. They want to talk about PSL’s and ticket costs, and I get that. It’s only normal. But they don’t want to admit (out loud) the other side of the equation comes with risk and significant potential downside. It’s more fun to play “Blame The Greedy Billionaire”. People focus on how things affect them. No shocker there. I fully realize the Pegulas want this on time and, more importantly, on budget. I think it will be on time. That seems far more likely than being on budget. Getting behind on schedule may become expensive. Time will tell.
  11. So, you’re saying Britt cheated on Josh with Jordan Palmer? Wow! What a plot twist that is! Isn’t that how those things get started? Someone somewhere on the internet got the ball rolling! I’m sticking with this to see if it catches on! Life happens. I’m sure this wasn’t how things were planned out, but we don’t know what was happening behind the curtain in their relationship. And there is no need for us to know. As I’ve said before, I love to be rich, but hate to be famous. Every little up and down moment gets magnified, almost beyond recognition at times. I wish them both well.
  12. It looks like it’s $120-$370 now depending on which of the 3 classes you take. It’s not something you do every day, so the cost wouldn’t cause me to blink for a second. If I make it to London for the Bills game I may build in a day to get back to Paris to experience the ride as much as anything. The wife gets motion sickness just thinking about boats or trains, so if I’m over there alone it would be a perfect time to give it a shot.
  13. We leave Saturday for 5 days in Paris before heading to Italy. The lady cutting my hair yesterday told me the Eurostar to London (where I have never been) was just over 2 hours which I found very intriguing. For better or worse, we have stuff planned for Paris that doesn’t leave me a free day to see London. I mentioned this to the wife, and she had a simple solution: just go back in October when the Bills are there. That works for me!

    If he’s that good, things will work out just fine for him. There are 31 other teams who can bring him on board without flack now that this is clear. He lost one year, and that sucks. It’s unfair and everyone should be held accountable, both in terms of actions that night and an investigation that lasted longer than puberty!

    Except in the AFCE, KC or Cincinnati. I have limits. 😋

    It’s impacted for sure, but the truth is out. Maybe it’s because I never bought the stories in the beginning. I was neutral waiting for answers. But there were certainly people who were quicker to judge, and he WAS in fact harmed. Everybody will get what they deserve for this, in some way.

    His reputation was temporarily damaged. It has no impact on my view of him, and I wish him well going forward. A LOT of lessons to be learned here for everyone.

    It was determined the guy was not there when the group stuff happened. I hope people don’t plan to rehash all that. Bad things happened, in several regards, and she is not fully innocent. But please, let’s not start all over again. This is why we should never rush to judgment.
  19. Don’t forget tailgating. I know, them’s serious words, there! Oh, and wings of course. I bet those heathens have never even heard of beef on weck!!! It must be such a sad life. They need those trophies to sleep at night. Yep, I’m stickin’ with that!
  20. And that high ankle sprain didn’t help at all. But he was tough and fought thru it for the team. I’ll give him effort/toughness points for that. I’m expecting a big step up from last season if he stays healthy. Time will tell.
  21. Ranking the WR’s is fine, but leaving out the TE’s (and pass catching RB’s) hurts the meaningfulness. I think the Bills and Chiefs would look very different if we included all the pass catchers. I’m sure others could argue the same. It’s the offseason, so it’s a fun little exercise I guess. .
  22. Are you still here??? 😋 They are already behind. They just keep moving the goal line. I’m not positive in this case of the dates, but it feels right.
  23. Well, yeah….but what do they know? 😋 Delays would not shock me, I promise you that. .
