  1. Beane is a witch. With the upcoming surplus of salary cap, he'll get 'er done in some way none of us expect or predict. Pass the popcorn.
  2. That pick was all the Receiver's fault.
  3. But after they've been here, almost no one wants to leave Buffalo.
  4. As many posters have stated: pressure for a new stadium comes from other owners looking to boost revenue. It's not about game day experience or other such tripe, it's about money (mostly from suites). Here's the rub: WNY is a small market and will never rake in the revenue the owners desire--new stadium or not. A palace could be built, and revenue will be flat because WNY just doesn't have the economy or population. So then the question becomes: when will the owners pressure Pegs to move the team to a larger more lucrative market? Will Pegs cave to that pressure to move?
  5. Another reason for optimism: the team President is competent and in control. Way to go K-Pegs!
  6. Nice writeup. I would add the Jim Kelly atoned for his youthful sin of being a dick by returning and becoming the penultimate team player. Could have done without Copyright notice (note: to be legit it has to have a year, as in Copyright 2018). What?? Posted copyrighted material in full on TSW? That's against the TSW terms of service. JK.
  7. Heh. You could take this many ways. I choose to take it as a compliment.
  8. Yuk yuk yuk. Hilarious. You over state Tom's age by 8 years. Obviously, the Bloodies affect your keyboarding. I'll have what you're having 'cept I want Tito's vodka and Clamato.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. They were Isotoner gloves. Isotoners give a really snug fit. Try them sometime.
  12. It's free here to Amazon Prime customers. I watched it yesterday. It was very good, in a dark kind of way.
  13. The forum software here stress tests well. Handles a good heavy load.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. I predict an 8-8 season with no playoffs. QB and WR's are going to be awful. Offsetting that, I think the D is going to be exemplary.
  18. I think I'll pay attention to my kids. I've done that before, it's amazingly fun.
  19. I wish all employers were like that.
  20. 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.
  21. Off topic to OP: nice use of tags. The optimal use of tags seems to escape many posters.
  22. 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.
  23. I apologize for calling you cynical. It was the beer talking..
  24. Did it ever occur to you that when someone says something nice about Kim Pegs, they may actually mean it. Is it hard going through life so cynical?
  25. Maybe we can have nice things.
