  1. Wife and I are getting ready for a 2 hour drive from Rochester (listening to PreGame on Radio) to Cuba NY area,  to go to my son's girlfriend's family for the first time - They are great people and also Bills Fans so we will all watch the game together.  Our first time visiting them - l  get antsy during the game so pray l don't scream too loud - lol.  They are cooking a Tailgate Theme so hope they understand and scream with me...    Go Bills!

  2. I won a contest and was able to help annonce him (John Waite and Lou Gramm ) at CMAC concert in '15 - he (and all) were nice guys -Eddie signed a shirt for my wife and we became even bigger fans.  

     

    So when he put on a musical story of his life (with all his hits). in '18 called Two Tickets to Paradise - we went and saw it.   

     

    One thing it talked about was when he almost died from partying too much (hospitalized for a while) and that was when he became sober - no drinking or drugs. Did it for his family and his health.   RIP Eddie Mahoney Money - Heaven will have a little more Music this week...

  3. Blast from the recent Past...Google search this morning on "notable nfl cuts"  brought me to a link on all teams. 

    I started to read AFC East and quickly realized it was from LAST year - lol.

     

    Still thought I'd share to recall some memorable names on here from Last Year's Training Camp final cuts..... 

     LB Tanner Vallejo, DE Ryan Russell, WR Corey Coleman, DE Mat Boesen, OG Ike Boettger, DB Breon Borders, DB Ryan Carter, WR Kaelin Clay, OT Gerhard de Beer, WR Malachi Dupre, RB Keith Ford, DT Rickey Hatley, DE Albert Havili, OT Josh James, DE Mike Love, DB Dean Marlowe, TE Nick OâLeary, WR Cam Phillips, OT Mo Porter, WR Austin Proehl, C Adam Redmond, WR Brandon Reilly, RB Sam Rogers, LB Corey Thompson, TE Keith Towbridge, DB Levi Wallace, OT DeâOndre Wesley, LB Xavier Woodson-Luster, RB Travaris Cadet, DE Terrence Fede, DB Kelcie McCray, P Jon Ryan, WR Rod Streater, DT Tyrunn Walker

    This is funny. 

     

    Knox has been injured a majority of camp, yet based on his limited college statistics and media camp reports, he is going to be a stud.But don’t worry, hedge your bet by throwing in the 7th rd pick who has had a couple nice catches in preseason, and you can’t go wrong.

     

     

     

     

     

    Your user name and this post made me chuckle. 

     

    There is no question a 7th rounder has a lot to prove but draft pundits spoke highly of Sweeny's hands/catching ability and sounds like veteran TE Lee Smith has taken Sweeny under his wing,.  Did you see Sweeny's over the shoulder catch Friday night?

    We ended up at the Grand hotel
    It was empty cold and bare
    But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
    Making our music there
    With a few red lights and a few old beds
    We make a place to sweat
    No matter what we get out of this
    I know we'll never forget...
  7. I didn't know that background of how he died.

    I am the youngest sibling at 55 but with older brothers and sisters being fans - he was a pretty big deal back in the day.

     

    Saw a special last year that reported he first took drugs in the service, where soldiers took them to stay alert. 

    When he returned from Duty, he took the drugs more often, then constantly when his manager was making him work too hard (movies, concerts, specials).  Sad the toll it took.

     

    Last year business took me to Tennessee so  I took my wife and daughter to Nashville (a blast)  then Graceland. 

    We spent the night at the Graceland Hotel that was beautiful but a little over the top, like a casino, in the foyer. They had a movie theater inside and every night they play an Elvis Movie for the guests. Good movie but no popcorn though lol.

     

    At Graceland - they didn't let us go upstairs but the whole first floor,  his finished basement area, and the grounds were well kept including where he is buried with his mom there.

     

     They also had his recording studio building as part of the tour, a museum on site with lots of memorabilia, and we paid a few bucks extra to tour his private jet that was also there on the grounds.

     

    I know I  typed a lot so if you're still reading....(In my best Elvis Voice:) Thannngyouahhhh Verrry Muchahhh!

  8. While looking for Bills related draft stories I found this...

    I was going to start a new post to share the link but did a quick search and thought it could go here...

     

    Last year in Round 1 - My head was still spinning about drating Josh Allen  when we moved up and grabbed LB Edmunds!

    Hoping his second year is another big step up towards his potential as Tremaine is easy to root for

    Pretty cool that the interview shows him and his brother and that Only one of them is wearing  their Team Logo, right?

     

     

     

  9. I may get roasted for this but like having the TV Draft Coverage on however the Audio coming from WGR550AM (can get it here in Rochester or via Radio.com App).

     

    They'll have the most content about our team than we'd ever hear on either Draft Coverage.

     

    One time a buddy (who was not listening to WGR) texted me and asked me who I thought the next Bills pick was going to be...

    The WGR radio reporter had just told us listeners the pick so I had texted him back the right name as the card was being brought up to read by the Commish...

     

    I  looked psychic - I told him "...I have ESPn" lol

  11. I went with TJ Hockenson and I'm feeling guilty...There are Draft Gurus that went elsewhere and with such Defensive Talent - I can see where a TE is so high for that slot.

     

    However - "Change is inevitable"... except from a Vending Machine  lol

     

    Rationale:

    1.) Coach recently said  (slipped?) how the TE (Greg Olsen) helped progression of a young Cam Newton.

    2.) After review of The Bills off season moves - its (mostly) all about helping the QB early on...

    3.) Instant Starter at  a position where one is needed.

    4.) Helps Allen get time for deeper throws when he Line Blocks along with OL and Gore one of the better QB protecting RBs

    5.) Can work to be that big safety/valve escape route pass for Allen - maybe even that go to 3rd down guy.

     

    That being said - I liked TE Eric Ebron back in his Draft class and it took him a while to develop so again - feeling guilty...

  12. 2 hours ago, Inigo Montoya said:

    He is a three down TE.  He is a process guy. 

     

    That was one of many parts that stuck out to me...

     

    A man much wiser than myself said tat Ed Oliver is such a great prospect but in our rotating player Defense, its probable our Coach would only have Oliver's position on the field 50-60% of the snaps.

     

    By getting a Blocking/Catching TE - we'd have a new player that plays all the time.

     

    Obviously a trade down and still getting him would be even better...

  13. If this is true - I love the Beatles connection but wow - this late in the game preparation - I hope they find who leaked it and "remove from the process" so they can't leak in the future.

     

    Not too long ago I watched an NFL film where both teams used West Coast Offense and therefore used the same terminology - The QB was interviewed as they showed the highlights and said in the huddle "I'll call out this play at the line but we are really doing this...." and the defensive CB came up in run support and the WR was open for the game winning TD.  Would be awesome if something like this works out like that for us if they are aware...
