So Tremaine Edmunds isn’t allowed? Self-admitted tennis guy, but the sound of the striking of a pickle ball is just grating! Can a sound be ugly? I’d have to wear headphones!

I’m a slow learner, I guess. I have yet to get any meaningful rest on a red eye. Maybe I will be so exhausted I can finally get some sleep on the way back, but it’s not a red eye. It’s great to travel. It’s also great to get back home and see the wife and dogs, then sleep in your own bed. Nobody was rude on my flight with lights or talking, but the guy in front of me in the cheap seats reclined his seat when the guy in front of him reclined HIS seat. I kicked him into submission, and he talked to the guy in front of him. My knees had nowhere to go. I never recline on a plane because I know how annoying it is. I was at that game, and somewhere I have a picture of a sea of people in blue walking over the pedestrian bridge. It made me proud, and it made me chuckle a little! 😋

We need to figure out what hotel that Jags fan is staying at and tip Rich off. Sure, there have been sightings, but he’s a bit like Waldo in the big picture. More elusive than the painted bunting!

I sure hope they weren’t peeing in the sinks!!!

I strolled all over town again today, and one thing jumped out at me: at least 80% of the people who gave me a “Go Bills!” were NOT wearing Bills gear. Maybe saving it for game day? So, if you think it looks like a lot of us out there, it’s actually far more. Can’t wait to see them all tomorrow!

Will they put them thru college? It might be a good deal!

I almost went for some Royal Cuisine yesterday, but the line at Burger King was too long. I didn’t come to London to eat a Whopper or a Big Mac, but they seem to be doing a brisk business.

I think I saw a guy in a Bills hat in the back!!!

Not sure, but……Haven’t we covered this a thousand times with Tre’s ACL? Docs clearing you does not mean you are ready to play in an NFL football game. Every player and every injury is different. Being “cleared” might mean next Sunday, or they can put you in the “day to day” category which can last weeks. I think Von can come back and be close to Von from snap one. That was not the case with Tre. I pray for his recovery. Great guy by all accounts, and two really lousy breaks. Hope things go well for this young man!

I think that is generous. He may get a few plays, but he may just like fish & chips.

Have you ever listened to Von before. Nice guy, and always optimistic. His words and reality only collide on rare occasions. And for the record, if you listen and pay attention, it seems more likely he’s talking about his readiness to play. He can’t speak for McD or the Docs.

@Royale with Cheese seems to think he’s onto something here. To my knowledge, he has not been committed yet. But there is still time…..

Well, that is just a terrible analogy. I mean TERRIBLE! We are watching football, and judging what we are watching. I don’t feel a need to ignore the facts to date. I don’t care if you are watching a new guy, or a guy in pin stripes. You seem to be suggesting that we are (according to some subjective opinion) that one is better than the other, therefore we should grade on some kind of a curve. That works for biased people who are not objective about the football we have seen this year, but I’m not buying that crap.

Yep! I prefer watching the football games. I don’t know what we get this week with Groot out and Von unlikely to play much, if at all. But if you watch the games it’s obvious….they are GETTING AFTER THE QB!

Is there any forum where they get challenged on crap like this? It sounds pretty indefensible. On a side note, why do all these people on TV sound funny? 😋

Thanks for the explanation. I had not been outdoors until I stepped out of the car and we all realized the actual weather was more like we expected. I continue to run into our Bills peeps everywhere I go. It gives you a nice feeling to meet strangers and already have something important to you in common.

So you wish for a cancer for our opponents, but you wish we had gotten it first? Huh? 🤷‍♂️ .

I got in just about 24 hours ago and took the Heathrow Express to Paddington then a short walk to the hotel. The walk gave me time to dry off. It was hot as hell on the train and everyone stripped down as much as they could, but we were all sweating buckets! I’ve come out of the shower with my hair less wet. We then stepped out into 50-something degree weather which was an initial relief, but then a bit brisk. It was easy, but certainly not comfortable. Enough whining…. Our car was about 80% in Bills gear, then there was one nice young couple in Jags gear. This gave me two main thoughts: 1) I LOVE how Bills fans travel! There are other teams that travel well, but nobody is better than Bills fans. 2) I wish opposing fans could get along in a stadium as well as they do on a hot train. Unfortunately, you add alcohol and the heat of battle, and things turn sad too often. Let’s all go have fun and behave, win or lose. It is, after all, a game. .

….and poor Rex thought it was in the press conference. If only he had known….

Pickle ball is where tennis players go to die.

As much as I hate winter, Minneapolis is a great city with a very vibrant downtown and great business environment (including 15 Fortune 500 companies). Downtown is connected with skywalks and tunnels so you can get around in the winter without having to go outside too much. And they celebrate summer like nobody’s business! My first trip there was for a certain Super Bowl, but in the handful of trips since then I have come to appreciate what the city has to offer. It’s just NOT for me full time. EVER. Brrr……

I don’t like the downward emojis, so I will just go with BOO THIS! You can’t really believe that. How about if we talk about your family burning up in a house fire? That is just WRONG, and I see no defense for such a comment.

Did you get it wrong the first two times?

It was on the surface Delta from Atlanta, but it was a Virgin Atlantic plane and crew. That’s why I threw it in there.

Beats Prego Atlantic. But let’s focus on the game this weekend and the great football Josh and our guys are playing!
