PFT article implies that Goodell has pushed out potential replacements
boater replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
In Executive years... he's just a baby. That's the age senior executives hit their stride. He has another 10 years left in him. -
I honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. But also in my thoughts are the ones left behind. In my time in the service I am grateful to have never lost a battle buddy. But at the Veterans clinic, I know many who have lost buddy's and they take Memorial Day really hard. It isn't BBQs and picnics for them. Their lives are full of Survivor's Guilt and second guessing. My thoughts are always with them on Memorial Day. I also remember the families and loved ones left behind. They had a loved one ripped away from them, usually in a violent manner. Their heart may heal but it will always bear scars.

Possibly moving back to WNY: northtowns or southtowns?
boater replied to Ned Flanders's topic in Off the Wall
For me, it was an age related decision. Snow removal is fun and games until you are 65-ish. After that it becomes a burden. I liked the real estate and lifestyle in the Southtowns better, but since it was a house that I planned on being in until age 75 or more, I chose the Northtowns with less snow. Even with the decreased snow in Amherst, I find wrestling with a snow blower at my age to be an unpleasant experience. I have sidewalks to clear and the town is quick to fine* people who don't clear snow--so I have no choice. * they don't fine you per se, the town will actually uninvited come clear your sidewalk for you and charge you a couple hundred bucks for doing so -
One of those awful years yielded the #1 overall draft pick which ended up being Bruce Smith. Silver lining.

Sign him....? Every time you sign some marginal old goat player veteran you are taking away a roster spot from a developing player. The Bills have some nice new young blood I want to see on the roster before Davis.

I don't think the Bills like the plan either, but it's a plan born out of necessity. They just don't have the funds for a play maker. Beane has pretty much said that.

Football, sure if he was in to it. But I would push other sports before football. I would push rowing the most. That's a lifelong sport (and also where the scholarships if that is your thing). Peeps in Buffalo have a fantastic resource in the world class West Side Rowing Club. Also, lacrosse. Just because that seems like fun. There are also scholarships.

Good stuff. Here is a more specific link to the video: You can also watch the classical version, also great:

Oof. Rough neighborhood. Game day traffic is going to be epic. I get vertigo just thinking about being on those upper decks.

No running back was selected. I kind of expected one in the 4th or 5th. And poor Joe Brady. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.

I wouldn't be shocked if Beane traded up in round two. He has a stash of nine more picks, they don't need that.

Bills First Rnd pick in 2025 draft: Maxwell Hairston - CB - Kentucky
boater replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
Speed... we haven't had much of it, so this is a refreshing pick. This will be fun to watch. For the old timers, 40 yard dash times: Don Beebe: 4.25 (he claims a 4.21 in a workout with the Jets) Max Hairston: 4.28 I knew Beebe was fast, but not that fast. -
I asked ChatGPT to Mock Round 1 - and the Bills select…
boater replied to BisonMan's topic in The Stadium Wall
So, to do a mock draft you need two things: draft order an assessment of each player available an assessment of each team's needs #1 and #2 can be found easily enough. But where is GPT getting #3? I doubt GPT has any idea of each team's needs, that's why it chose a WR for the Bills instead of a DL or CB. GPT just chose BPA. -

boater replied to BisonMan's topic in The Stadium Wall
I used ChatGPT to aid in the writing of an admissions essay. I did not use the text GPT provided--it was too verbose and it would have been plagiarism. But I did use the outline as a scaffold for my own writing. It worked out well. -
Return of the Tre! (Tre White signs with the Bills)
boater replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
Look at the top ten cornerbacks of the 2025 free agency period (not my list, I don't think Rasul should be on it, but whatever): Considering the above list, Beane stuck to his MO of letting the market come to him. He did not make a desperation signing above his budget. Who available would have been a better signing in the same price range as White? Give Beane a break. -
I made a better screenshot. It says "Injuries per game." But I don't know to interpret that..... 4 to 5 turf injuries per game seems awfully high. I suppose it could be right.

Bills player mentioned on a Joe Rogan podcast with Ron White.
boater replied to Coldfronts's topic in The Stadium Wall
Ron White broke a sacred rule of group therapy---what happens in group, stays in group. He shouldn't be on a popular podcast dishing out on people, that's wrong. (not using the player's name doesn't absolve him) -
Bills halt contract negotiations with Cook
boater replied to Returntoglory's topic in The Stadium Wall
You and I are in agreement on that. The question is -- what is Cook's agent advising Cook to do? I am not impressed with Cook's agent (Matt Leist of LAA Sports) to this point. His client is active on social media, that is: -- a poor negotiating tactic or -- his client is undisciplined and out of control Neither is good for Cook. -
I am interested in the injury rate of players on the new field. I did some Googling and found that grass is not automatically better than turf. Highmark 2 is going to be a big fat depends... depends on the quality of the grass installation and the skills of the groundskeepers. The NFL fields with the two highest injury rates are grass, will Highmark 2 be better than that? chart source: https://cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2024/09/05/nfl-field-surface-dilemma-concern-2024-season/
