Bruce Smith & Chef's Restaurant Spaghetti Parm
boater replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Thanks OP. That was a good watch. I liked how happy Bruce was through the whole thing. The cameo by Steve Tasker was cool also. -
QB rumors about importance of concussions in choices
boater replied to KingRex's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Doesn't pass the whiff test right there. I'm sure the Bills don't bring anyone into a sensitive meeting without a Non-Disclosure Agreement in place. -
I changed my mind: OJ didn’t do it

They were Isotoner gloves. Isotoners give a really snug fit. Try them sometime. -
It's free here to Amazon Prime customers. I watched it yesterday. It was very good, in a dark kind of way.

The forum software here stress tests well. Handles a good heavy load.

Brandon Beane: The Art of a Deal
boater replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well that's a concern. To me, Overdorf is the common denominator in a Bills pattern of excessive contract extensions. The fact that Overdorf is the firewall to an incoming trade contract... no warm and fuzzy. -
Related. Warren Buffet, who owns the BN is hiring a company to manage 30 of the newspapers he owns. Warren Buffett Chooses New Path for Newspapers After Lamenting Decline Interestingly, Warren is not subcontracting the management of the BN. That indicates to me that the BN situation is better in comparison to other newspapers. That indicates Warren's confidence in BN management, and Warren Buffett is no idiot.

Implied by the article read as a whole: Sully lost his column because Sully's negative tone did not fit the new business model where most revenue comes from reader subscriptions. The consultants probably made that point very strongly. He was not exactly fired. He just lost his column. Sully is gone by his choice; he accepted the buy out. Admittedly, maybe shaming him into a buyout by killing off his column was the master plan. I wonder what duties they planned for him had he stayed: a new restaurant reviewer? Per the article: the BN was surprised by the number of people taking buy outs. But they stood by their word that buyouts were available to all. Good read from Buffalo Rumbling.

I think I'll pay attention to my kids. I've done that before, it's amazingly fun.

Who wants to be the new Bills Beat Reporter?
boater replied to Kirby Jackson's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I wish all employers were like that. -
Ugh. CSS is like a root canal to me. I can do it when desperate--but would much rather do something else. That's why I buy web themes. Some brilliant dudes in India write them--and you can buy the equivalent of hundreds of hours of labor and tested code for $40.

People should be worried about our Depth

Off topic to OP: nice use of tags. The optimal use of tags seems to escape many posters. -
Eric Wood, 6/1 cut & Roster Addition
boater replied to RPbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The multimillionaire "was hurt" but you make him sound like a laborer at Galleria Mall. His signing bonus is more than you'll make in your lifetime. Remind me not to hire a callous mercenary such as yourself. -
Josh Allen already impressing in Buffalo
boater replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Maybe we can have nice things. -
Incognito's Retirement? [update: Now Released]
boater replied to Spiderweb's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
There are 32 teams. Prolly five of those teams have an offensive line worse than Buffalo's. Richie will sign with someone. Amusingly, it will be around the same $ Bflo agreed to. So by being a prickhead, Richie gets to undo a contract he signed, and then gets to choose his destiny. Weak signal for roster discipline from the Bills FO. "Play enough games, we'll let you go." -
Buffalo News in financial trouble
boater replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's the first quarterly loss in 10 years. While that's not bad by average business standards, it is bad for a Warren Buffett owned business. My guess: If they don't turn it around soon, it will be digital only everyday except Sunday. -
Wow. If you're an older Bills fan, you view signing the first rounder so quickly with amazement. In the old days, #1 draft picks were a hard chase for Ralph to sign. They'd bicker for more money, they'd flee to the CFL or USFL (Jim Kelly). Negotiations would drag into the summer. Some players were real pricks. I like the new unwritten rules: draft picks sign in inverse order of their selection, making X percent more than the person selected after them.

After 20 years of scrapple QBs, I'm looking forward to Prime Rib.

What's Up With the Buffalo Blitz Paywall?
boater replied to Keukasmallies's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
BN is owned by Warren Buffett. Warren Buffett companies make one thing -- piles of cash. He just cracked open his coin purse and bought 75 million more shares of Apple. Don't expect BN subscriptions to go away. Expect more of them. -
What Was “The Worst Kept Secret” About Russ Brandon?
boater replied to BuffaloRush's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm not aware of anything other than an inappropriate work relationship. Though, some posters suggested he was the leak of Owners Meeting audio--that would be pretty heinous. As someone who once worked in personnel I can say: you can sometimes survive an inappropriate workplace relationship. But aggravating factors counted against RB: he is married the relationship was apparently general knowledge within the organization, apparently exposed at the Sabres Winter Classic he apparently lied to Kim's face when confronted (I read that somewhere) Also, if he spent Bills money (travel, expense accounts, etc.) to further the affair---he's a deadman walking. You gotta think with your big head, not your little head. I feel bad for the Brandon family. Statistics are not good for a marriage to survive an affair. -
CBS Sports listed seven top rookie matchups two watch in 2018. The December Jets game was listed as Number 1. Sam Darnold vs. Josh Allen: Ranking the best rookie matchups on the NFL schedule An ESPN columnist is quoted via Twitter: Lolz. I can live with the Hoth label. It's not accurate, but it does psych out opposing teams. The game is touted as a sneak peak at a long running AFC East QB rivalry.
