I’m also predominantly a football fan. I even lost track of the Sabres when I left WNY for college in 1977. The Sabres would be cool, the Bills wining it all would be AWESOME!!! I don’t see Buffalo getting a MLB or NBA team, so I can’t waste too much mental energy on this. BUT, I can tell you I live 8 minutes from the Braves stadium and we go a couple times a year, just for the crowds, the hot dogs and drinks. The crack of the bat is background noise. As my wise young child once said, “half the guys are standing around, and the other half are sitting!” Not my idea of entertainment. We are now in the NBA playoff season. I was super into the Braves and the family had season tickets. They moved, the game changed, and they lost me. I have watched less and less NBA ever since. I might watch a game or two if the Finals get interesting. We spent over $600 taking the kids to a game in Charlotte a few years ago, the last time I paid money to attend an NBA game. About 5 minutes in, our youngest turns and says “they’re not even trying!” Yep, NBA with the season far too long to try on a Tuesday night in Charlotte. I enjoy college hoops where they actually try. If the NBA went away I wouldn’t miss it. Give me football all day, every day over the other options. I’m all in on a Bills Super Bowl victory. If someone else won, I’d be happy for the local folks who actually cared.

And……..he will probably sue because they were hard on him. Well, dude, you brought that on yourself!

Well, that was painful. I’m guessing he would have rather been anywhere else!

With the wind in WNY at some of our games, it feels like a mini-miracle if they can even make contact with the ball to punt it. The drop from hand to foot is not very far, unless you are doing it with 35 mph gusts. That will take some getting used to! .

It’s funny when you read the scouting reports and they repeat the same theme. Yeah, maybe he gave up a long TD to some current NFL player in 2001. WOW, if that’s be best you have, he’s probably pretty good!

I’ll be happy to post one if it might create some controversy and help get this thread about the 6th round punter past 100 pages! How long was the Mario Williams thread? We should just shoot for the record!

Dawson Knox concurs. .

There is literally no better place for him to be and get coached up, IMO. I can’t wait to see what they can bring out of him given his physical traits and attitude.

I think my wife considers me to be her spouse on an extended trial basis. So far, so good! But there’s always tomorrow….. We actually got married sooner than would have been my style. I am one to ponder a decision (over and over and….) to be sure I get it right. The wife makes a decision, acts, and fixes what she got wrong before I’ve formed an opinion as to how to begin. From first meeting to wedding day was about 14 months, but most of that was wedding planning. My wife’s dad had cancer and she wanted him to be able to walk her (the oldest and first married) down the aisle while he still was able. Turns out he rebounded and lasted another 8+ years, and she’s still stuck with me! I’m the luckiest person I know! My own mother would probably tell you I don’t deserve my wife.

Did you want to be a thumper when you grow up? 😋

Going to see Van Morrison tonight. He’s right up there on my wish list with Eric Clapton who we saw a few months ago.

Congrats on the anniversary! That 34 years is impressive! We hit 37 years back in February. Of course, we were mere children when we we married.

THANY YOU for the CliffsNote version!

Will that never die? I was young, startled and in a hurry! The lampshade? Well, it was a wild night!

I’m on the Board for a foundation trying to serve the needs of Little Pink Ponies. I might be able to help you there. I’m not sure what to tell you about OG. Maybe Kromer has a miracle left to share?

Remember that guy? Williams something, I think. Might have started with an “M”? But THIS guy can PUNT! EDIT: Punting = not something we do often, but very important to do it faster than I can go up and get a beer!!! 😋

Well, I know which one of you I HOPE is right! 😋

Somewhat strangely, LB’s and DB’s seem to be going the way of college basketball. Most of the top college hoops recruits are 6’5”-6’8” and are “position-less”. Everybody can switch and cover anybody. Sure, it’s not entirely like that, but to a large extent we are blending size and speed so you can do a little bit of everything. Long gone are the days of the big, slow, thumping MLB and the other guys who are restricted to certain limited roles. LB’s need to cover TE’s and RB’s and CB’s need to tackle. Safeties need to come down into the box and plug the running game. The new NFL requires new kinds of players. I trust our FO and like our draft!

Are you surprised Belichick didn’t beat us to him in the 4th when we didn’t have a pick?

At 6’8” and 319 lbs he fits the pattern of drafting physical specimens, and should help us lead the league in rebounding once again!

I don’t know anything about him either, and I absolutely trust our guys with DB’s! I wonder if this 6’1” and 208 lb DB might be groomed to replace our starting/aging (and also late round pick) safeties?

I’ll let OBD know. I’m sure they will be VERY relieved!

Me too but, FWIW, NFL.com has him with the same grade as Metchie from ‘Bama who went with the 12th pick in the 2nd round. I like the sound of that!

Classic Beane move…..pick up extra late picks to move around and get your guy!

It doesn’t matter…..I’m still laughing………
