Go...
We always have foods from the two cities being represented in the game. I am so freaking tired of NE foods! That said...
Sam Adams
Sweet tea & vodka
NE clam chowder
Lobster rolls
Fried chicken
Peach cobbler
Pecan pie
Thread is TL;DR... so
For your theme: I love Fried Clams in a hot dog roll. Back in the day, Friendly's Restaurant had the "Clam Boat" on their menu. You could make it with frozen clams strips... no problem.
Your Southern menu is well represented. You could throw down some Whoopie Pies without effort.

LAMP: I was delivering the Courier Express one morning. Old school style with a paper bag over my shoulder.
These stray dogs started trailing me. The pack got bigger and some started getting aggressive. I shed the bag and fled home.
Turned out one of the ads in the paper had the scent of bacon for dog treats.
True story.

dude "hints" that Bills are "likely"
A double-weasel-word does not a factual report make.
I hate the off season.
-
I think he deserves another chance. I would enjoy the "Johnny hype" he would bring to the team and city. Remember the Terrell Owens signing. It didn't work out and I realize Manziel isn't likely to either. However, as a fan I like when the Bills get national attention and Manziel will surely do that. Lastly, you never know he might be a very serviceable backup.
Are you the Ice from the 1990's TBD? Your irrationale post makes me think: Yes.

Trump will do well.
Not because he's particularly capable. But because he'll surround himself with competent people. I like his staff already.
BHO surrounded himself with not very competent flunkies. He filled the White House with "community organizer" types, and got the expected result.

Kelly Bluebook?
Kelly Girl?
Kelly Skipper ... yes, hired.
Chip Kelly, not at this time.

I HAD A PONY!
BACK IN POLAND MY SISTER HAD A PONY. MY BROTHER HAD A PONY. I HAD A PONY, AND I LOVED MY HIM!
WHAT'S WRONG WITH HAVING A PONY?!!
...I always put Frank's on my eggs. However, sometimes I get a little adventurous and throw some Tabasco on there.
Related tangent. George Costanza had lots of different sex..
Make-up sex
Conjugal visit prison sex
Fugitive sex
Sex while eating a pastrami sandwich
Am I missing any?
-
Me. I hate Tabasco.
Me too. If I wanted pepper flavored vinegar, I would have ordered pepper flavored vinegar.
Texas Pete = OK in a pinch. Franks is OK also.
My go to mass market hot sauce is Cholula, Too bad it's so pricey.

Carson Wentz gave his OL Beretta shotguns.... that's the Rolex of shotguns.
I like that.

Business wise, there are growth options available to the NFL. No need to downsize.
But Quality of Game wise: The NFL has a much bigger problem: human resources. They don't have a quality supply of players, refs and coaches to support growth.
Think about it... we're barely satisfied with 32 teams today.
- there are only about 14 to 16 good starting QBs, the rest are scrubs wearing a starter disguise
- about 1/3 of the coaches suck
- about 2/3 of non-suck coaches are ancient
- about 1/3 of the refs should just stay home
- the good skill players make a killing pay wise because supply falls far short of demand
- and don't get me started on journalism
If they grow the game without addressing personnel quality == < game play quality, which < fan happiness, which < revenue, which eventually causes the entire system to implode.
I don't see downsizing. On the other hand, I don't see growth. I do see teams moving, and Bills fans should never get complacent in that regard.
-
Using search firm consonants to find the particle sun is business as usual in the NFL.
Nothing to see here... move along.

...and his hair cut is first class.
You can tell he'd otherwise would have a full head hair, but that would require maintenance, which would detract time from achieving football goals.
[i say this only partly in jest]

A back injury curtailed my workouts, combined with my rediscovery of beer, and I put on 35 lbs in two years.
I went from comfortable 34" waist to 36+ waste.
I'm not going to monitor my diet by weight loss. When I fit my old clothes = success.
Now... shall I low carb, or do low cal? Hmmm...
-
Yeah, I got it. The bull **** in PPP is so high, you need wings to stay above it.
-
When I read an excessively negative poster... I wonder what it must be like for their immediate family.
-
I think it was a good hire.
I also think the Bills are better lead and managed than comes across. Here is the problem: Very bad communications and PR.
The team comes across as a dumpster fire because their communications with fans and the press suck***.
- Someone should know TP soundbites sound great to other PhD's, but not to the general public. The comms department needs to prepare canned soundbites for Terry.
- Someone needs to get Whaley out there praising the hire, and sounding like he had skin in the game, even if not true
- Whaley should have been comms coached before his disastrous end of season presser
- McDermott needs a brief on Bills recent comms pitfalls, and what mistakes not to make
Where I once worked, if you were scheduled for an important briefing, you did an internal "murder board" first where you briefed with internal staff playing the role of outsiders. They picked you apart over and over until your brief was bullet proof. Obviously, the Bills don't do this... think Whaley presser.
Also if a major announcement came up a "strategic comms plan" was executed. Here's what the owner will say, here is the press release, we'll compliment with this leak etc. etc. Obviously the Bills don't do this... think Rex firing.
*** also, TBN is in the tank against this team. Low information fans (ticket buyers) follow TBN lead. The Bills need to fix their relationship with the prima donnas at TBN.

Buffalo needs a second newspaper.

Word is... Pegs have pictures of Jerry Sullivan watching hookers golden shower each other on a Super Bowl site hotel room bed where Vic Carruci once slept.
-
Jerrah said: "Word is..." and "According to reports..."
Move along. Nothing to see here.
By today's pathetic fake news standards Word Is ... could be a Stadium Wall post.
According to reports could be an article written based on a Word Is.
Code words for good sources: sources high in the organization, or sources close to the Bills .... you don't see that in this article.
-
Tyrod won't be here, so better coaching is a moot point.
...and a 6th year QB should already have basic skills down. Such as not staring down your primary receiver, and in pocket footwork.
-
What if Denver hires him? He's going to get a bunch of HC interviews. It's not even a little crazy.
McDaniels is my top choice but I'd love to see them try to get Dabo.
I didn't know Dabo well earlier.
But I just saw this ESPN video, he'd be a great Bills coach.
-
The Pegula's have proven to be meddling with the Bills so far. In their first coaching hire, it was a four person committee, which made no sense as it should be the GM's job to hire his coach. Next was the mind boggling rank structure at One Bills Drive, with Rex reporting directly to the owners and not the GM. Next, the owners firing Rex and not having Whaley be involved. Finally, the decision to bench Taylor and start Manuel, which is something the coach should have had say in who he wanted to start for the game.
Normally.. Coach making the decision is correct.
However... when 27 million is on the line for one potential Tyrod slip up/injury; it is perfectly understandable for the Owners to over-rule.
People make it sound so easy to when it's Other Peoples Money (OPM). But if it were your money--you'd do the same thing Pegs did.
Pegs was pretty open to the fiscal loss associated with firing Rex. I can certainly empathize with him not wanting to take the red ink as a habit. He didn't get rich by being an idiot with his money. And we wouldn't have the Bills without his business acumen.
The problem is not with Tyrod, but with the person(s) who wrote up that ridiculous contract.
He/they deserve to be fired.
Tyrod deserves to come back for another year, as any other QB out there would be a lateral move, at best.
The Bills, unfortunately are painted into a corner with the $30M cap hit.
..So stupid, and shortsighted to structure the deal in that manner, but that is what we get with this current regime.
This. You'd figure after 50+ years in business, the Bills would have pretty tight boiler plate contracts.
Deep Throat at the Noco told me: the dude who wrote Tyrod's contract also wrote the Affordable Care Act.

I vote no to any of the prodigals.
New blood, younger than 50 is needed. Though, if I was water boarded to make a choice: Wade.
The Particle Sun thing reminds me of story a nurse told me: The young Mom just delivered her baby. She overheard the Doctors talking about the presence of meconium. She was so overblown by the sound of that, she named the baby Meconium.**
** at the click thru: meconium is fecal matter

Buffalo News writers = union employees where quality does not matter and tenure spoils the pot.
