  1. I hear ya. My post was a poor attempt at sarcasm. Ralph wasn't cheap in his final years. Terry and Kim aren't cheap at all.
  2. OMG, they are cheap. He only gets a Taurus? I'd given him a few weeks with the Beretta 92FS...it really is worth the higher cost.
  3. Just curious: where are you hearing Matt Paradis will be allowed to test FA? You got a Denver insider? Please dish something if you want some credibility here.
  4. Our Josh also has off field intangibles. He gives a very good interview to the press. He says the right things without lying or embellishing, and it's all about the team. He also has that Baby Hughie look that makes it hard to dislike him.
  5. Impressive. If the crime weren't off the charts, I'd love to visit Brazil.
  6. Wow. We haven't had that spirit here since 1969.
  7. The OP is marriage material. Not for me.. but for someone. Who can't admire someone who has such a huge bankroll.. but still acts cheap. If my wife were this frugal, we still may be married.
  8. Ya. As others in this thread have estimated, I agree that college is a suboptimal choice for 50% of enrolled students. More specifically: a Bachelor's degree only is folly. I think society has better options for some. I especially like trade schools and apprenticeships---but they are getting more rare. My opinion is formed by my once being the dude who hired people. I got a lot of Bachelor's degrees applying for jobs that didn't need that horsepower. Some employers exploit the glut: I know of one Subway in town that hires only people with Bachelor's degrees. Pretty pathetic.
  9. I'd go into the draft as status quo. The trade decision should be made while the Bills are on the clock. There could be a stellar steal available, who slipped for unknown reasons, and the Bills should jump on it with #9. It happens. Alternatively, there could be no one really worth selecting at #9, in which event the Bills should trade down.
  10. Ugh... the Super Bowl is the best of one conference versus the best of the other conference. AFCE has zero to do with it. Patsies could be AFC-Timbuktu champs and that would have zip to do with their Super Bowl record.
  11. Laugh out loud, for realz. You can't win in the eyes of TSW. BAD sayers: A football personality says something bad, or even just a hint of bad, about Buffalo and they are publicly whipped and humiliated in the forums. Put in the stockades. (to wit: the hysterical reaction when some third bit media personality made a sleight of Buffalo recently in an effort to appear clever and woke) GOOD sayers: Say something nice about Buffalo, and there are those at TSW who will find a perceived wrinkle in your past and blast you apart... despite the sincerity you had for saying something nice. (there are those here who have excoriated Tyrod in this thread) It's just crazy.
  12. I try to stay off The Stadium Wall for a few days after a loss. Some TSW people take a loss pretty aggressively. Did you know we should have drafted Mahomes? Did you know someone needs to be fired NOW after every loss?
  13. From SI: Why Is Everyone Hiring Mike Leach Disciples Instead of Actual Mike Leach?
  14. I didn't read all four pages of content, so please excuse any repetition I bring. There is a large legion of Bills fans who feel you can fix any part of the game by throwing money at it (they are also known as the "Ralph is cheap" crowd). How dare you insult them with facts.
  15. Players make more than coaches. Maybe Anderson will only accept player money. Sure, the Bills could pay a Coach Anderson player money, but that kind of outlier in the salary structure would be bad for the morale of other coaches.
  16. New Era hasn't gone anywhere. Predicting a closed thread in 3.. 2.. 1..
  17. If I remember Marv Levy's rein correctly, he too was also a huge proponent of special teams. It helped that eventually he got Steve Tasker.
  18. Your creativity is noted, and appreciated. I tried to reply with an eloquent post about the value of picks versus cap hit.. but found it hard to verbalize. Short story: a 2nd and 5th for a disposable player is not something the Jags would offer (even to evade a cap hit). The Bortles market will heat up after the draft.
  19. There are officials up the ying yang as it is. Also, TIME and RHYTHM are factors. Making a game consistently interrupted kills the fan experience. Also there is a TV taboo of making a game longer than three hours. I don't know the answer, but making games longer disqualifies any solution.
  20. Kent Hull. Center extraordinaire May he rest in peace..
  21. While we're reminiscing on Fantasy Lane, how about we make a play for Khalil Mack? Same logic applies.
  22. If you want peace in your life, you need to develop a thick skin regarding Buffalo. The cheap shots come in on a regular pace--you can't spend your whole life seething at each one. That's no way to live.
  23. By the design of the survey you can see several objectives, determine: downtown or OP renovate or new build fan base tolerance of PSLs pricing point for various options in OP Peoples survey experience may differ because it seemed how you answered one question would cause custom follow-on questions. I'm glad the Pegula's are in charge. I expect a very professional and well thought out decision from them. Can't say the same for all the politicos and special interest groups in WNY.
  24. This ^^^ I'm a bit bitter toward Peters because the Bills gave this UDFA a big break and he dominated...but later he wouldn't return any sort of hometown loyalty, he became all about the $$. No gratitude. Selfish prick.
