Carmel is one of the most beautiful places on earth. We were out to wine country a couple months ago and spent time in Healdsburg at the recommendation of locals (wife’s co-workers). Another fabulous spot! Highly recommend it!

Same as always. DTV Sunday Ticket unless they are a prime time game, which will be A LOT this year.

What do you think looks worse: A) Finding out you made a mistake by not being aware of an incident a prospect was possibly involved with in college, learning of your mistake then letting the player go because you want no part of that type of person on your team, or…… B) Paying hush money in an attempt to coverup a brutal gang rape. I’d say option B not only looks worse, it IS worse. Only an idiot would even consider that path to “protect their brand”.

But it comes fully immunized, so there’s that.

Thanks for that. That is our vet speaking out as the voice of the locker room. He could not have done much better there. We needed to hear from the locker room, we’ve done that, now let’s move on. I know, everybody will be asked, but I just wish they could respond “See what Mitch said”. In a strange kind of way, this may help bring them even closer as a team. Go thru rough times and you just have to get tougher, I promise.

…not to mention, I don’t want to see us all of a sudden get thin at RB when somebody pulls a hammy or has a high ankle sprain. Every game counts for home field in the playoffs (it hurts to sound so cocky!), but I can see a scenario where it might look appealing. They have said they want to build for long term success. If they think they have the depth at RB, I’m sure they listen to offers.

I’m sure it took some restraint to walk out…..rather than RUNNING. This mess may be coming to a close (albeit slowly) for Bills fans, but it is just getting started elsewhere.

Started dozens of times…..right HERE!

I look at the Sarasota market a few times a month (using the Michael Saunders website, which is better than most) and I’m confident you’ll do just fine when you decide to sell. My goal is to get back there at least part time in the next few years. Too expensive to buy there now! I lived there longer than I lived in WNY, as I left for college when I was 17 and rarely got back until I started returning for Bills home games in the last decade or so. We’d like a break from the heat in the summer, and if we can’t afford the NC mountains I’d certainly be open to considering WNY. Next trip back I’m going to spend a little more time in Hamburg as I just had a quick lunch there. Maybe it was that my formative years were there, but it had a wholesome “Mayberry RFD” feeling to it. I usually stay at the Hampton Inn on Main St in Williamsville when I get back. There is a similar feeling for me there. So much to consider! Good luck! Now you have ME going to look up there. 😂

By cutting these guys, I will find myself saying “who dat???” far less often!

This isn’t WNY specific, but as a former Realtor I will say most sites like Zillow are woefully behind in updating information. I would get calls regarding properties that went off the market months earlier. It is easy to use and handy for getting a general feel for what the market is like in different areas, but it’s unlikely to find you a specific property. Realtor.com seems to be more up to date, but the very best source of info is indeed MLS. I am so sorry for you loss, @cwater10. I cannot imagine finding myself alone, day after day. Sounds like a reasonable thought to get closer to family and friends if you can. I’ve been gone far too long to be helpful to you, but I loved growing up in Williamsville and East Amherst. I live in Atlanta now and it seems you can get anywhere in the general Buffalo area without much trouble. Yes, all things are relative. On a recent trip back I went to Hamburg where we lived when I was younger. I must say, there is a very cute little downtown and a lot of nice and seemingly reasonable housing. I have a friend trying to move to the St Pete/Clearwater area now from Atlanta. It’s is super hot and he’s having a hard time, which should translate to a good time for you to sell (assuming you are not renting, obviously). One might argue that the timing to buy in WNY would also be bad, but we lived in Sarasota for almost 20 years and I learned otherwise. The peaks and valleys are much more extreme in Florida, as I discovered the hard way when I worked in real estate and everything came to a screaming halt in the 1st quarter of 2006. Again, I’m sorry for your loss and will pray for things to work out as well as possible for you.

But, if we said “please”?

They should keep their day jobs.

My son and wife have a labradoodle they got together. She had a cat when they met. The dog abuses the cat that I’ve seen only 2-3 times since they got the dog 4 years ago. The cat is now peeing all over their new furniture and bed, and they are expecting their first child in October. I know where a cat is available!!! (Dog guy here, I admit.) EDIT: New home for the cat is in the works. .

I honestly think I am worthy of your support. What do I have to do to get your vote?

I think Moorman gets his due credit for his punting and his surprising athleticism…..but endurance is often overlooked. Numbers could call me a liar, but he seemed like one seriously overworked punter. If your punter is your MVP, what more needs to be said? But he will ALWAYS be remembered for the way he was LIT UP by Sean Taylor….in a Pro Bowl of all things! That SEEMS like so long ago, he might be looking to come back from a hip replacement!

Ever see the movie Ransom? They steal his kid, and rather than play that game, they say I’ll pay the $10 million (or whatever it was)….to anyone who delivers you to me. I know that won’t happen, but it would not break my heart if the billionaires club showed this guy for what he is. I’m OK if he were to lose his license to practice. I don’t know the exact angle, and it would have to be discreet and indirect, but I would smile. I’m no expert, but IMO he has not represented his client in a way that represented her best interests.

Are you limber by nature? I promise not to boo!

……less of a distraction than our old punter.

Well, then they should be on to the next thing soon……

That’s how I saw it. Make sure the kid can play, and if he can’t we’ll find somebody else. There is always someone out there who can give you about what Haack provides. When it all hit the fan, they went to their list of guys who could be passable placeholders. Rumor has it they caught wind of @BringBackFergy’s dedicated holder idea and they knew they could have that part covered. OK, maybe not that last part, but you know how rumors are. Easy to start, strangely hard to ignore…..like car wrecks.

It’s going in the right direction. I see it going down to two games before long, maybe when they try to get to 18 games. Not sure if they ever go to zero, but it’s a chance for scrubs to have their day in the sun. My son worked out with a guy who supposedly “played for the Bills”, and there is a photo which seems to confirm that. Just keep Josh and the gang safely on the sideline. The Pro Bowl? I don’t even take a peek.

It’s certainly no Pro Bowl out there! Guys are trying to make a name for themselves and earn roster spots. If I have to watch one, it’s preseason. If I got to eliminate one, that is also preseason. It’s hard to get hurt in a Pro Bowl - even if Brian Moorman disagrees!

Well, don’t be so hard on yourself. I mean, you are above average, but I prefer to think of it as “big boned”. I also love this team and have for decades. I’m not at all surprised that this FO handled a difficult situation about as well as possible.

Oh, this should be good!
