August 1996. I was just returned from overseas assignment with my 486 COMPAQ desktop and a blistering fast 9600 baud dial up modem. I was in a scary Comfort Inn (or Econolodge) at Rt 301 and Rt 50 in Maryland.

I'd like to see Coach be a practical WNY'r. (Canada too). Layers. A Goretex shell with Buffalo Bills marketing PLUS a separate underliner of whatever warm material. That's TWO, two marketable items in one. I'd buy.

Patton read Rommel's book, and exclaimed after a victory in the desert to the effect "I read your book, you magnificent bastard" ..to Rommel. So Rommel is the Mag Bastard, Beane is GEN Patton. Yes? In any event, an awesome trade. Hadn't seen anything like it since the 3-way trade which brought Cornelius Bennett to Bflo.

Sammy is a diva who aspired to the NY-DC-LA-DALLAS markets. There is no amount of money that would have kept him in Bflo. I'm glad we got something for someone we were going to lose anyway.

...I ready your book.. We have the GEN Patton of GMs.

I'm so happy about this trade, I'll have a drink--but I'll be happier when KB passes his physical--then I'll drink some more. If he were to fail his physical--I'd have to have a drink then also.

To me, he'll always be Mint Milano.

He caught a few.. let's hope he has passed a tipping point and will catch many more from now on.

Chris "No one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills!" Berman is somewhere saying "Fvck Yeah!"

Leslie Nielson to SDS: I just want to tell you good luck. We're all counting on you.

Sounds like a plan. Land-get car, Original Pancake House in OP, then tailgate, watch game, celebrate victory, fly out.

He's arriving at 6 AM. Someone give him a good breakfast tip that is on the way to the stadium. They'll be hungry. I'm a Northtowns guy, so I don't know where to go. (I'd go to The Original Pancake House, Williamsville, but that is out of their way)

I wouldn't be surprised if Tyrod ends up in Green Bay, for their first round pick.

Congratulations on the house closing. That's a life event. You can run down to any Walmart, or Target and get an "HD TV antenna." And it doesn't need to be sophisticated or costly. I used this $9 antenna for six months, no problem. You may have to experiment, point it in different directions. ------------------------------------- Aside: HDTV and "cord cutting" would be a good pinned topic in the Consumer Digest forum.

Anyone hear of this? https://twitter.com/JBurtonXP/status/911643048718848005/photo/1 I'm guessing fake news.

Ted's Front Park burned down sometime in the early seventies. They still exist in other locations.

Hold the front office accountable...How? Fine them? Run laps? Time out? Public apology and humiliation? Restrict their privileges? Send them a sternly worded email? Lock them up with a journalist? Dunking chair? Short of firing them, how do you wish to hold them accountable?

Never heard of him... So get 'er done Russ, Doug, Brandon. ---BREAK--- Russ Brandon. Brandon Beane. Soul mates?

Tanking is hard work. You suck so much, then all the sudden one weekend an opponent takes you for granted and doesn't arrive ready to play--then you get one of those dreaded W's. Jets get a 5-11 season. First pick goes to the 49's.

I'm not paying. $3.. price is entirely acceptable. But the last thing I need in life is another auto-recurring charge on my credit card. Caveat: I didn't try the registration process, but I imagine the only option is "bill me until canceled" Yeah. Warren Buffett/Berkshire Hathaway doesn't own slouch companies.

The protocol phases, for those who don't know it: Rest and recovery: Until a player returns to the "baseline level of signs and symptoms and neurological examination," only limited stretching and balance activities are recommended. Electronics, social media and team meetings are all to be avoided. Light aerobic exercise: The NFL recommends 10-20 minutes on a stationary bike or treadmill without resistance training or weight training. The cardiovascular activity is monitored by an athletic trainer to "determine if there are any recurrent concussion signs or symptoms." Continued aerobic exercise and introduction of strength training: Increased duration and intensity of aerobic exercise with strength training added. An athletic trainer will supervise to watch for recurrent concussions signs or symptoms. Football specific activities: The cognitive load of playing football will be added and players will participate in non-contact activities for the typical duration of a full practice. Full football activity/clearance: A player returns to full participation in practice, including contact without restriction. Looks like Tyrod did Step 4 today. If concussion symptoms don't return after non-contact practice, he can return to playing. source: https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2016/9/18/12940926/nfl-concussion-protocol-explained

That. If Beane did release Boldin without comp, he would forever in the future be putty in the hand during trade talks with other GMs. They'd think Beane was just a patsy. Also Beane's bargaining with free agents would be have friction as they think they could have their way with him. People who want to release Boldin no-strings because of his stature need to go back to Madden 2005.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2017/08/29/lions-make-matthew-stafford-the-highest-paid-player-in-nfl-history/ Adam Schefter says: 135 mil for 5 years, 27 mil a season for a QB that: Ya think.. with these economics, that tanking and getting a hot rookie QB sounds good? I'm starting to think so. As in, getting a good rookie contract for five years is better than paying bug bucks to mediocre veteran QBs? Aside: whoever does contracts in Detroit is worse than ole Overdorf.. and the entire league ownership is angry at him/her.

Dude.. they got this thing called CPAP. You gotta try it. Love your Billieve ... and it is not misplaced. Terry and Kim will get 'er done within the next 3 years. Maybe 2.
