I watched a few videos.. to refresh my June memory of last season. Some good throws... some excellent runs. Tyrod is good. Potentially great. Potentially the keyword. He is unproven in the franchise category (I hate that cliche, but it did work here). Having said that... I'm OK with the Bills not extending his contract. Two discounts are: the hometown discount the "I'm a rising player, and you can sign me for less than my future value today" I don't believe Tyrod is offering either discount.

I was in government service... mostly personnel work, so I have experience with reclamation projects. I believe these ratios apply to all populations: 80 percent of your staff is acceptable (20% of your staff is the problem) 10 percent of your staff are asses who will change to the positive under pressure 10 percent of staff are asses for life, no matter what Problem: there's no way that I know of, to reliably delineate those in the last 2 bullets. When you're dealing with a present day loser... it's a crap shoot. Glad the Bills won this round of craps.

That was a great read. I'm less concerned now about the Rob hiring, football wise. Though, I am still concerned about Rob's weight. Right now.. he looks like dead man walking. Maybe the Buffalo Medical corridor will fix it. LOL... you know the NOLA medical community isn't fixing fat.

That's all I needed to read. I give you kudos for putting the wiggle words in your first sentence.

A rational article, until the gem: What a fricken laugher. Fixing some injuries will vault you from 4-12 to top ten? You'd never ever find anyone saying the Bills would go from 4-12 to top 10. Heck, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone saying the Bills will have a better W-L record than the year before.

All is proceeding as I predicted. http://insider.foxnews.com/2016/05/13/wendys-increases-self-service-kiosks-overcome-minimum-wage-hikes

Also.. a hard boiled egg for breakfast is a hard thing to beat.

Oakland is a pimple in Cali. A whitehead waiting to be popped. With minor skill, you can hit the mirror. Oakland is to San Francisco as Depew is to Buffalo. No disrespect to the fine people of Depew. I could easily see Raiders in NV, and thriving. A bazillion hotel rooms and humongous population, it's a no brainer.

Thanks. During this period of television blackouts, my appreciation and knowledge of football can be attributed listening to Van Miller broadcasts. Nothing immerses you in a game like listening on the radio and visualizing what is going on. The NFL Films narration was top notch, as usual. Ferguson, Butler, Piccone, Haslett, Smerlas, Nelson = top guns.

Well hasn't this thread devolved? Half of you understand economics and life.. the other half don't. Side note: you don't have to go to college to understand economics and reality.

Let me correct to internet gossip norms. People I know who work in the natural gas industry have told me Sources tell me that the general public is only aware of about 1/2 of pegulas holdings/net worth... He could make another sale any time, similar to the one made when he bought the team.

Continuing that line.... the magical jobs won't appear out of nowhere. Those magical jobs will appear overseas because of the NAFTA, TPP etc (that both the Dems and Repubs have pushed). That's a long metrobus ride. New topic: there is classic misdirection here. The crisis is not minimum wage. The crisis is lack of career jobs above minimum wage. In other words: F--- the minimum, where are the stable medium wage jobs. That is the real problem. Political lemmings need to stop being tricked by the minimum wage talk, and start asking why there aren't higher wage jobs. When I was a dishwasher, MW was just that. Something to get you through.

I think you over estimate Pegs wealth, and under estimate his business acumen. He can't afford to pay for the whole thing. But even if he could, he would be a fool to go it alone. Curious, do you pay property tax?

Woo hoo. Innuendo is a wild ride. Love it.

You plan on not voting? Well, the left and the right thank you for your apathy. It gives us left and right more power. Hillary is the Cod Liver Oil of candidates. Except that Cod Liver Oil is at least good for you. . Wow. I'm old as dirt and thankfully have little experience with Cod Liver Oil. You must be as old as Roosevelt.

No.. not aware of that. You can post or PM a link. Ya know.. it's hard to master the details 31 pages into a topic I have CA experience, so I have an interest.

Well yes and no. Innovation pushes people (with some time delay) into other employment. But now with Trans-Pacific Partnership, NAFTA, high taxes or whatever trade treaty: you're pushing these unskilled services workers into jobs that will never appear because they are going overseas. I rue the day when a $15 dollar an hour job at Wendy's is a career. Sadly it's coming.

I was once a fed employee. A subset of that period, I was a responsible rationale adult. I think it was two months in 2012. Anyway, an experienced political appointee once told me: when the Dems gain power, their illuminati move from the think tanks to become political appointees, and the outgoing Repub appointees go to the think tanks. The cycle repeats. It's a process that repeats itself since 1787. Lather, Rinse, Repeat. It's the government you elected. It's the government you deserve.

Not necesarily.. the state, cities (like Seattle did) or counties could make MW decisions. I'd be pretty comfortable with that. I guess my overall position: it shouldn't be a Federally decided one minimum wage fits all solution. And... I really do believe MW talk is all political bluster. Buffalo, Erie County, or New York state can right now make their own minimum wage rules. But you don't see that .... hmmm?

LOL.. you put STD and seaman in the same sentence. Less Chinese "honeypot operations" delivering those STD's to our sailors.

I don't care what they do with minimum wage IF they let each individual state decide their minimum wage rules. It would be folly to make a sweeping national minimum wage. Let each state decide their sink or swim threshold. Let each state face the accountability for their minimum wage decisions. Today: localities can decide their minimum wage rules, and only the State of CA and the City of Seattle have increased theirs. But there sure is allot of whining on the circuit. Allot of whining but no action = someone who doesn't believe in their cause and is only political posturing for the lemmings. The real result of raising minimum wage: this shift once with 8 employees will become the shift with 6 employees and these:

Saw comments of what a good draft by Rex. Just for the the purposes of future credit or failure attribution, let's remember this was a: Doug Whaley (Rex Ryan) draft, NOT a Rex Ryan (Doug Whaley) draft

I'm big on the Striker pick. Not because I have any special football insights other than rumors. But because I like the "Striker" Airplane movie quotes. Also there is a Stryker hospital bed that costs 40K. It's got all the bells and whistles. How cool is that? I hope my kids send me there instead of the Fire Ant Nursing Home. All Hail Doug! He did a damn good job. That experience from Pittsburgh gave him some serious NFL GM cohones. Side note: I like GMTM in the room. I do believe in the one organization posture.

Simpleman has had to defend his stance, all day. On this day of rest. I, on the other hand, choose to keep my mouth shut. There is so much more in life than football drafts.

A must view: German broadcast of Von Miller sack. Crazy. I'm watching all the games next year in German I just watched it again: their enthusiasm is awesome!
