    I assume you know that when someone wraps something in SINGLE quotation marks it means they’re paraphrasing something, right? Double quotation marks means you’re quoting something exactly.  Regardless, I would say that most close games are good games no matter what the sport. 

    I generally assume that people use punctuation incorrectly, particularly less commonly used punctuation.

    I’ll take your word for it that there have been ‘good games’. My comment is on the fact that from what I’ve seen there are next to no fans actually going to the stadiums to see them. And that’s despite the fact that the league isn’t new and has a complete monopoly on network television football coverage for the entirety of spring. I’m not sure when someone decides that this simply isn’t working. 

    I didn't say there were "good games", I said there were close games.  That's different.  The quality of the football isn't great and part of what makes some of the games close is the ridiculous mistakes the teams make.  I won't say that I sit here and intently watch, but it's something to passively have on while I'm doing other things.

     

    Ratings have been down which is a bigger problem than a lack of in-person attendance.

     

    The league's biggest problem IMO is two-fold and they touch on each other. One, the NFL isn't involved and doesn't treat this like a farm system which is what it really is. Thus they don't promote it at all which would help them a lot. Two, the QBs play is bad and all the decent or even generally promising QBs are on NFL contracts.  If the NFL were to embrace this more as a developmental league, like the Euro league used to be, and even send their #3 QBs it would improve the product quite a bit. As it is, there just aren't any actual QB talents out there to be had and it shows.

    they have a great run game but outside of metcalf their wide receivers are meh. Mind boggling they didn’t keep Pickens 

    Their run game is mid at best and the Pickens trade should tell you everything about Pickens that you need to know.

    Dodson #29. Good for the guy. Not thrilled he's a Dolphin now.

    Go watch the Seattle game. I'm thrilled to see him twice a year and if there is anyone who knows what he CANT do it's the Bills.

    I feel a need to be reassured by the board.  I get a creeping fear - which can only be based on some weird, deep-seated prejudice -- that Cole Bishop may well lack the toughness to be an NFL strong safety.  Maybe he looks a little bit too much like a choirboy.  Maybe he is too handsome and I am secretly jealous.  I am 100% rooting for him.  I know he has the height, weight and speed.  But I look at him and think "likely to be scheme sound."  No, please!  I want to look at him and say "geez, I would sure hate to be a running back and see that animal flying downhill at me.  Snot flying, drool dripping, that dude is going to wreck someone."  I want to think - wide receiver over the middle?  Not worried about it, Bishop will get there and lay the MoFo out.  They may complete one, but it will be VERY expensive for them.  

     

    Tell me I am stupid, a hater or just off base.  I really liked the pick when they made it, I am hoping he grows into a silent assassin on the back-end.  Even if he is scheme sound too (and I know he wasn't always that last year either).  Let's go Cole - cheering for you, and want to feel stupid for doubting you.  I may have to buy a Bishop jersey just to exorcise my doubts.  Thoughts?

    This is Chuck Cecil. Chuck looks like a heckuva nice man and you'd probably buy insurance from him. When he played safety in the NFL, Chuck Cecil would actually try to murder people.

    I’d be stunned if Tre White or Dane Jackson accept a PS role. They’d rather be cut IMO. 

    They'd have to be cut to have that role anyway. Pretty sure they'd both be vested vets so not eligible for waiver claims. They could go where they are wanted, but the problem will be if they are cut it's because they look cooked in the PS and nobody is going to run to sign them. That they can't be waiver claimed makes it easier for the Bills to work it out with one or both of them if they want to protect a younger player and the older guys want to stay in the building. For example if it comes down to Strong or Jackson and their play has been roughly equal, Strong will make the 53.

    If nobody talks about it, how do you know?

    This is exactly why they don't test for it well. If you don't test for it you don't know. If you don't know you can't be held accountable for knowing.

     

    The test they use can only catch people in a 24 to 48 hour window and during the season they can only be tested at team facilities so only when they are there which is not every day and not all day. There is also no longitudinal study of a players levels over time.

     

    The tests are also randomly selected by a computer from everyone on the roster and practice squad and cannot be targeted at players known to be recovering from injury.

     

    Basically, you have to be an idiot to get caught for this, especially during the season. The protocols have zero no-notice testing, even in the off-season.

    This is exactly what we need to happen, but sadly I agree with you that it's a pipedream and never going to happen

    Oh I agree completely; this NEEDS to happen but it has a zero percent chance of happening.

  9. Ruyter Suys and Corey Parks from Nashville "Kitty".  One of the best live shows I've ever seen (and I walked into the show having no idea who they were) and I feel like they fit the motif of the OP perfectly.

     

    I'd post a video, but the one I'd post is very much NSFW, so I guess I'll settle for this one that won't embed. Suys is lead guitar and Parks plays bass.

    I also enjoyed Sean Yseult who played bass for White Zombie.image.png.b63d33a53340306caa2819297a73a86e.png

     

    As for singers? Give me Shirley Manson of Garbage.

     

    Now in terms of women who played music that I adored but aren't of this genre?  

     

     

    Tanya Donelly was also underrated IMO

    Brendan Shanahan anybody?  Mike Harrington had a story about him and the Sabres in TBN

    Shanahan is NEVER going to come into a situation as some sort of senior whatever and not be able to choose his own GM and HC. Since we already know that Adams isn't going anywhere, and that he's going to be allowed to choose his own daddy...err...senior advisor, we can go ahead and eliminate any candidate that wouldn't participate in a hive mind. 

     

    FWIW I think Dudley is a pipe dream as well.  Why would he come into this mess when he doesn't have to? Why would he accept Adams' and Terry's terms when he doesn't have to?  Florida is humming along just fine.  Also, I would argue that Dudley and Adams would have VASTLY different ideas on how to appropriately build a hockey team and that situation would come to a head very very quickly.

    I seem to be in the minority with not liking the Hollins schtick.  Didn't bother me to see that gimmick go out the door.  Although I did think they would be bringing in someone better, so that kind of disappointed me - I consider Palmer the A Cooper replacement.

     

    As to the OP, I liked the TO thing at the time.  I didn't like see Pete Metzelaars leave - but I guess he was a multi-year player.

    It wasn't my thing either.

    a BANGER right off the top. Night Primetime NFL football home opener against the Ravens.

     

    I expect a slugfest and major Brawls in the trenches. I will be paying close attention to the DL specifically

     

    I do like the home field in the games you referenced. Advantage BUFFALO. It's a  LOCK the fans will be LIT

     

    GO BILLS

    You want to play the Bengals early and the Ravens late. We got it backwards.
