My favorite city in Canada is Buffalo, NY
Heh. You could take this many ways. I choose to take it as a compliment.

Playoffs again this year. Tom Brady is 48 years old and he will start playing like it. We’ll be competing with the Jets for the division. I’ve also had 3 bloody Mary’s already today
Yuk yuk yuk. Hilarious. You over state Tom's age by 8 years. Obviously, the Bloodies affect your keyboarding.
I'll have what you're having 'cept I want Tito's vodka and Clamato.

Thanks OP. That was a good watch.
I liked how happy Bruce was through the whole thing. The cameo by Steve Tasker was cool also.

...as a temporary consultant did not feel bound to team secrecy....
Doesn't pass the whiff test right there.
I'm sure the Bills don't bring anyone into a sensitive meeting without a Non-Disclosure Agreement in place.

They were Isotoner gloves.
Isotoners give a really snug fit. Try them sometime.

There have been about 10,000 memes created from this scene.
For those who haven't seen it, the movie is called "Der Untergang" and was marketed in the US under the title "DOWNFALL".
It is an outstanding film and I highly recommend you watch it!
It's free here to Amazon Prime customers.
I watched it yesterday. It was very good, in a dark kind of way.

The forum software here stress tests well. Handles a good heavy load.

he relies on Overdorf for assistance
Well that's a concern. To me, Overdorf is the common denominator in a Bills pattern of excessive contract extensions.
The fact that Overdorf is the firewall to an incoming trade contract... no warm and fuzzy.

Related. Warren Buffet, who owns the BN is hiring a company to manage 30 of the newspapers he owns.
Warren Buffett Chooses New Path for Newspapers After Lamenting Decline
Interestingly, Warren is not subcontracting the management of the BN. That indicates to me that the BN situation is better in comparison to other newspapers. That indicates Warren's confidence in BN management, and Warren Buffett is no idiot.

Implied by the article read as a whole: Sully lost his column because Sully's negative tone did not fit the new business model where most revenue comes from reader subscriptions. The consultants probably made that point very strongly.
He was not exactly fired. He just lost his column. Sully is gone by his choice; he accepted the buy out. Admittedly, maybe shaming him into a buyout by killing off his column was the master plan. I wonder what duties they planned for him had he stayed: a new restaurant reviewer?
Per the article: the BN was surprised by the number of people taking buy outs. But they stood by their word that buyouts were available to all.
Good read from Buffalo Rumbling.

I predict an 8-8 season with no playoffs.
QB and WR's are going to be awful. Offsetting that, I think the D is going to be exemplary.

I think I'll pay attention to my kids.
I've done that before, it's amazingly fun.

And don’t waste time with a traditional cover letter.
I wish all employers were like that.

Ugh. CSS is like a root canal to me. I can do it when desperate--but would much rather do something else.
That's why I buy web themes. Some brilliant dudes in India write them--and you can buy the equivalent of hundreds of hours of labor and tested code for $40.

Off topic to OP: nice use of tags.
The optimal use of tags seems to escape many posters.

Why should he give anything back? Double dipping? What are you talking about? That would be him getting cut, them signing with another team, failing a physical and being paid by both.
The guy was hurt fulfilling his contract for a business worth billions. He shouldn't give a !@#$ing penny back.
The multimillionaire "was hurt" but you make him sound like a laborer at Galleria Mall. His signing bonus is more than you'll make in your lifetime. Remind me not to hire a callous mercenary such as yourself.

Again, find owners saying negative things about other owners and I’ll be impressed. I didn’t say anything negative about her. In fact, I said the fact that she’s a “real person” is a blessing in that room. She can provide a perspective that Bob McNair can’t. The point was that it means absolutely nothing that, when asked on the record, her business partners said positive things about her. It would have been a story if they didn’t. Every single time owners are asked about other owners on the record they give the same lip service. It’s not just her, the same things are being said now about Gayle Benson and the new guy in Carolina.
I apologize for calling you cynical. It was the beer talking..

Really? That’s what you are taking from this conversation? Are you impressed that her business partners said nice things about her? Don’t you think that’s expected? I keep asking people to find owners talking negative about other owners. I can find 20,000 quotes of them talking nice about each other but may not find one of them badmouthing each other. My whole point is that owners saying nice things means nothing because that’s all that they say about each other.
Did it ever occur to you that when someone says something nice about Kim Pegs, they may actually mean it.
Is it hard going through life so cynical?

Maybe we can have nice things.

i'm pretty sure that's just the way crossfit works now.
Lolz. Close the thread now, it can't get any better.
Richie has had a tough 2018. This latest kerfuffle will hurt his FA winnings.
-
There are 32 teams. Prolly five of those teams have an offensive line worse than Buffalo's. Richie will sign with someone. Amusingly, it will be around the same $ Bflo agreed to.
So by being a prickhead, Richie gets to undo a contract he signed, and then gets to choose his destiny.
Weak signal for roster discipline from the Bills FO. "Play enough games, we'll let you go."

It's the first quarterly loss in 10 years. While that's not bad by average business standards, it is bad for a Warren Buffett owned business.
My guess: If they don't turn it around soon, it will be digital only everyday except Sunday.

Wow. If you're an older Bills fan, you view signing the first rounder so quickly with amazement.
In the old days, #1 draft picks were a hard chase for Ralph to sign. They'd bicker for more money, they'd flee to the CFL or USFL (Jim Kelly). Negotiations would drag into the summer. Some players were real pricks.
I like the new unwritten rules: draft picks sign in inverse order of their selection, making X percent more than the person selected after them.

Nice writeup. I would add the Jim Kelly atoned for his youthful sin of being a dick by returning and becoming the penultimate team player.
