The WNY stadium discussion is lower middle class people debating whether to get a red or black Mercedes---when really all their FICO score supports is a a used Hyundai. In the highly unlikely event WNYers agreed to fund a new stadium, the construction bonds floated would be below investment grade. A show stopper. Unless Santa Claus comes in with a sack of free money--a new stadium is not happening. Period. Get over it.

The powers that be will never allow a cure for cancer. Too much money to be made in treatment. Too much insurance savings by having people die early. ...ooops... this is a football board. The Conspiracy Central Board is a different bookmark. My bad.. it's the alcohol.

Poyer is my new role model.

3 pages of comments in, and yes, it appears you are the only one finding this cringe-worthy. I've read three pages of thumbs up. (I may have missed another negative comment)

I like the interview format of BSing while chucking the ball, it probably led to more frankness in the discussion. I thought it was interesting that they each had receiver who did most of the catches.. I wonder why. Them comparing thumbs made me chuckle. I liked the JA description of what he does upon breaking the huddle, how assesses the situation.

Americana: Fried Chicken, Sausage, Hot Dogs and some really good beans. The beans had sausage, ground beef with hints of BBQ sauce.. and there were some Fava Beans mixed in (no Hanibel Lechter). Italiana: eating till you burst.. then Iced Prosecco, which I'm not a fan of because it tastes like Lemon Heads mixed with grain alcohol. Me: I brought bottles of wine, I'm shy about cooking for others but want to contribute. EDIT UPDATE: someone brought artichoke dip.. it was so good Angels cried tears of joy when you ate it.

I was going to make a long post about the brittleness and fickleness of the New England sports fan, but decided not to waste my Memorial Day. Short story 1: Billy Buckner deserved better fans. Short story 2: I hope St. Louis clobbers the Bruins.

Great read. Thanks. I like this lighthearted bit:

I must have missed the memo. I'm not aware of any particular hatred toward you.

Kraft video will be the new gross. It will be the new TBD Peter Pan gag. I, for one, will not be Rick-rolled into clicking on it.

Try JetBlue's flight 491 and 492 -- Nonstop LAX<-->BUF. We use those flights often.

Kroft will be the first test case as to all the healing doodads and gizmos in the new training complex. Did I read there was a hypobaric device? That could accelerate fracture healing. EDIT UPDATE: Yes the training center has a hypobaric room.

I read it as Kraft Breaks Foot - - - what's the old bugger up to now?

I expect fewer interceptions this year. He tried to be the hero when far behind scorewise; to wit his throws into coverage and failure to use checkdown. Expect closer scores, less heroics. He has better targets. He'll have more time. I expect he's done something this offseason to improve accuracy.

When I use the airport, I'm in and out like a hot knife through butter. I'm a happy flyer. Now they're doing an $80mil remodel to "improve" access. Improve what? Must be nice to have $80mil burning a whole in your pocket and fix things that aren't broken.

She doesn't pass the mandatory test: how will she look in a Bills jersey? Pass.

Sports 101 -- You're never as good as they say you are; and you're never as bad as they say you are. Edit Update, It was said by Lou Holtz: You're never as good as they say you are when you win; and you're never as bad as they say you are when you lose.

Contrast the professionalism in this video with Cincinnati.. the Brown's eight scouts, including the daughter, leafing through PFF and Googling Kiper. I can neither confirm nor deny I had wet eyes when Pancho announced the pick.

Why doesn't OP volunteer to help?

Fixing a problem that doesn't exist. Cowboys, Redskins and Patriots have unlimited budgets--but they aren't magnitudes better. If fact Redskins largess seems to work against them. The Bengals, aka the cheapest FO in the league, is not magnitudes worse than anyone else.

Joe Licata is bringing resume to Insta-print.

I'm not offended by any of the three. I particularly like McBean because it's handy shorthand. Much better than typing McDermott and Beane.

His suit.. forget about it. His arm candy.. that's alright.

Poor Zay, 34 pages of comments about his ultimate demise.

In serious response to OP... Jim Kelly spent his first two seasons with the USFL Houston Gamblers, it was there he learned how to read defenses and make adjustments at the line of scrimmage. Then he entered the NFL and eventually learned to read and then skewer NFL defenses. Another good QB followed a similar path.. Kurt Warner did time in the Arena League and then NFL Europe.. then entered to NFL and eventually became a prolific passer. Point being, becoming a great QB takes time and experience. Expecting a Jim Kelly like ability to call plays at the line of scrimmage and "Show Gun" from a second year Josh, regardless of Wonderlic, is a road to disappointment. Josh needs time to grow, I hope Bills fans are patient. Having said that, I expect big things from a 3rd or 4th year Josh.. including no-huddle play calling.
