I spotted that, too. Bills 31, Panthers 9. Kelly: 4 for 21, 176 yards, 1 TD 3 INT. Rating: 38.3. Plus: Panthers Frank Reich was 6 for 21 and 44 yards and Kerry Collins was 0 for 2. Combined QBs: 10 for 44. Bills trailed 9 - 0 into the 3rd quarter. 53 degrees, winds at 10 mph.

Gotta say, that’s a collection of names and reasons that captures approximately 72% of TBD posts.

Tony Dungy built a great football culture and team. John Gruden won a Super Bowl with the culture and the team.

It’s Elway. There is no other answer. Other answers in the same certainty category include Ingrid Bergman, chocolate and peanut butter, The Talking Heads, The Birth of Venus, Bach’s Cello Suite #1 in G Major, Prélude and Michael Jordan.

Beane and the Bills will gladly pay Cook what he is worth. They’ve been trying to do just that for months.

I want him to honor his contract, participate in practice, stay off instagram with his negotiations, and avoid dramatic and cryptic responses to questions. Same standard I set for me and my team.

Check your cable provider. I get HBO as part of my cable package - no additional charge, but commercials.

With respect and acknowledgement, I’ll follow up. I agree with all you wrote. You wrote about drama. I’m no producer, but I suspect drama manufacturing HBO has Cook as story board topic #1. You wrote about seeing, more realistically, dragging out and impacting the season. These are reasons #1 and #2 that led me to “I am approaching.”

I am approaching the same place I was with Diggs. The whole is bigger than any one piece not named Allen.

Congrats to Mr. Sanders, no doubt. He’s not being paid by the billionaires.

A civil suit does not have to be either a money grab or a pursuit of justice. It’s not a one or the other construct. Wherever someone lies on the continuum, the presence of wealth makes the pursuit more attractive, more reasonable, when evaluating the cost in terms of time, effort and fees. Many civil actions don’t arise in the absence of wealth because of the cost to the injured party to bring suit.

Classic Marino. A great, great, thrower of the football, regardless of circumstance.

I was there.

Rumblings from the Jets locker room. A few players would like to take three games off for a salary credit.

Well, I’m sixty four, a Type I diabetic, and I just had open heart surgery! That said, your question requires a better framing of my answer. I have four kids, three kid-in-laws, seven grandkids, dozens of cousins and double dozens of friends. For me, it’s this one season. When you’re a patriarch (or old guy), the coming season is THE season. I make a trip to Miami and bring six people to hotels and buy their tickets. I get a year of memories from it. We talk about the last trip for six months and the next trip for six months. Again, no fancy rich guy, but the trip’s $6 thousand, and it’s a regular season game. So, yes, I’d rather the Bills win this year than have someone give me $12 thousand.

Fun topic. However, I think setting the amount at $500 is similar to setting the over/under for a Bills Lions game at 11. That, of course, begs the question of me. What amount would I propose as a difficult choice? My answer is $12 grand. Not because I’m fancy or rich, but because I have dozens of deep personal relationships with friends and family, in Buffalo and elsewhere, where Bills fandom is one of the most powerful mutual bonds. A Super Bowl win would bring months of joy and years of satisfaction.

I believe the Josh Allen and O-line led offense of the Buffalo Bills contributes more to the success of James Cook than James Cook contributes to the success of Josh Allen and O-line of the Buffalo Bills. $11 million; you’re lucky for that; get your a$$ here and play football. He thinks differently? Leave in February and best of luck to you.

When I saw “Diggs’ Drama” I thought this thread would be about the insightful posters who called for the cancer to be released or traded after the 2023 season and the snarky posters rolling their eyes and saying it was unwise or cap impossible.

There’s something to your thought. On an island where they believed they’d be rescued, neither Mary Ann nor Ginger made any headway with Thurston. In short, I think Mrs. Howell must’ve had skills. Same thing with Brady Bunch and Alice. Sam the Butcher personally delivered the meat to the Brady home and hung out with Alice. I think she was a magician in the sheets.

Channel 29! Makes my morning. And Mary Ann, without hesitation.

Hear, hear! Amen. Well said, brother. I am grateful.

I’ll admit to becoming a Bills fan during the Jack Kemp era in War Memorial Stadium.

I can’t read Shaw’s post without thinking of the Hickory Huskers when Jimmy Chitwood says “I’ll play, but Coach Dale stays.”

Went to a Bills Tampa game in September years ago. I know what hell is like.
