  1. Actually funny, but I must say….. He was willingly given a raise by the billionaire owners he works for. Have you ever apologized for getting a raise? I never heard he was holding out or anything. That’s change in the couch for these owners. 🤷‍♂️ NOW, are people shocked by the number of digits and comma’s in his salary? You bet! It’s natural. I get that. But at the same time look at the salaries of the heads of the biggest businesses in the country/world and it gives some perspective. The NFL is one giant arse money printing machine. It’s a lot of money, but it doesn’t shock me. I wonder if his contract is tied to gross revenue, ratings and bottom the line. One bite out of an elephant can be plenty.
  2. It is generally only proof that coaches speak. Not quite the same.
  3. Can we just put that on your tab? I guess Roger can afford to fix up his basement now. .
  4. Casa di Pizza in Bradenton is from WNY and always had solid food when I visited. The is a lot of good food in Florida, as is often the case in resort areas. People spend vacation dollars like Monopoly money. Little Sarasota has better restaurants than giant Atlanta, IMO.
  5. …..or, did he start the fire? He is from the Evil Empire, so…..
  6. Keep saying it! It might help?
  7. According to his Mommy, he wanted the $8 Billion fully guaranteed? I draw the line there!
  8. I think he will see that, in time. If he signs for the tag, then I assume he could be traded but nobody would take him without a deal worked out. I really don’t like fully guaranteed contracts. Guys like Dareus come to mind. It may be coming, but I hope it’s slowly.
  9. Well, he’s a lot smarter than most here. Seriously.
  10. But, has he ever played for the Panthers???
  11. I realize they were productive, but there were some predictability issues IMO, and all that long ball stuff was annoying at times. There were easier throws that would get chunks and move the chains. I don’t know if that was Josh, or the elbow, or what, but it could be maddening. I’d also like to be able to run the ball when we need to, and not just because it was so unexpected. Even the Bills have said they need to be better at that. You need to be able to run when they know you are going to run. That is how we close out games when we have a lead, which was a lot. Protect Josh, give him weapons and be versatile. We were good, and I think we can get better. “Big leap”? OK, maybe progress is a better term.
  12. Oh no, not at all! Some days I only make half that, yet somehow we manage to get by. 😋
  13. This is less about the RB and more on the OC, but it seemed (at least to me?) our personnel groupings were tipping what we were going to do too often. Dorsey may be great in the long run, but like any rookie I hope he makes a big leap in year 2. Now, back to your regularly scheduled RB debate.
  14. Notice his 4.7 YPC and how that is better than a lot of big names in Bills history. And he did it by making people miss at or behind the LOS FAR too often. I think he was under-appreciated by many Bills fans. I consider every day I make that much money to be a good day. But I guess it’s pocket change for some of you! 😋
  15. Larry Bird did it back when the NBA was worth watching. So, there’s that…. 🤷‍♂️
  16. I enjoy attending a home game, preferably the opener, and one road game a year. The at home HD experience is amazing, so I get wanting to enjoy it that way. It’s comfortable, cheap and easy. But I don’t go for the stadium or the amenities. I go to see friends at the tailgate and feel that energy you can only get live. If I were local I still probably wouldn’t be a season ticket holder. It wouldn’t be a financial thing, I just don’t want to do it all season long. That’s a personal decision everyone gets to make. I go for the energy, the live football and the camaraderie. How much you value that vs the convenience of home is a great decision to be able to make. To each their own, as long as they remain in WNY. If they left, I would be done.
  17. Deal breaker? Will you be done? Forever? Some people are like that. 🤷‍♂️ I go to games for the football and the tailgate. I don’t need a museum or arcades like they have in some places. To each their own. I will not have any angst over this until we see the final product. I was fine at the old place, so I’ll be fine at the new place. Just WIN!
  18. My personal preference would have been a dome downtown. Second choice was open air downtown. We got my third choice, so I’ll just have to live with that. The Bills will remain in WNY, and that was my ultimate goal. Period. I come to town for one game a year on average. It would be awesome to have a downtown stadium I could walk to from my hotel like you can in cities like Nashville, Cincinnati, etc. Walk around, hit the restaurants and bars, stroll over to the stadium, perfect. That would be better for me personally, but I’m short about a billion in the effort to make that happen. It sounds a bit like you still think there is a chance that this is open for discussion, but I think it’s a done deal with just a few details to iron out. For those who didn’t get exactly what you wanted, I suggest focusing on our Bills remaining in WNY, and without fecal rivers in the concourses.
  19. Shortly after we moved to Atlanta Xavier played in the Sweet 16 here, and Kentucky was on the other side of our draw. Kentucky fans may be annoying, but they travel like CRAZY for their team. They filled up this city! They don’t win much with Calipari, but they attend with the best of them!
  20. Alright now, Xavier advances to the Sweet 16 with an 11 point win over Pitt. I can breathe easily now….until next weekend when we face Texas. Love being the first game so I can just enjoy everything that comes later.
  21. Should we tell him? 🤷‍♂️
  22. So, if we don’t look at him, he’s not really there???
  23. Was “but no time soon” an oversight, or an intentional omission? You rascal you! You left us wondering! 😋 Have you heard what’s parked on the ocean floors? It’s a hot topic! 🚀 👽
  24. Thank you, I’m done with the internet for a while. I’ll focus on hoops.
  25. Is it just me, or did the name only title scare you with “Oh God, what’s he done now?” That says something about how much I’d like him on our team.
