Depends on the method/means of consumption. On a burger? Sharp white cheddar. On nachos? Medium cheddar and jack cheese blend. On a sub? Provolone. On its own, in a big glob in the middle of the plate? Burrata. To be eaten with fancy accoutrements, like the King of France? Humboldt Fog goat cheese or melty brie. I like cheese.

One that I have quoted for years and still quote to this day: "Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is an a s s hole?" - George Carlin

“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.” ― Jamie Anderson I've always liked that quote, except...I'm not sure I agree that the love has no place to go. I think you still feel it deeply, still beam it out into the cosmos in the direction of your departed loved one, and -- if you're like me -- have a little bit of faith that they're receiving that love in some way. Your relationship with your pet in their physical form is over, but your relationship with what your pet really is has not ended, it's just changed in nature. You can go into that heart space any time, the place where the good memories and the deep love abide, and be with your loved one. They'll always be there. I hope you find strength and healing in your difficult time.

As someone who would do just about anything for some good nuts, I figured you'd understand.

This is one of those "zero risk, decent reward" type moves. I'm sure he signed for peanuts, monetarily speaking. If he somehow surprises and plays well, the Bills got a nice, veteran depth piece with Championship game experience. If, as expected, he doesn't make the cut, then nothing has been lost. You bring 90 players to camp. They can't all be surefire Pro Bowlers.

You guys.....know about free internet porn, right?

Yeah I agree that they're going to come out fired up -- as I would hope every NFL team does in week 1. I'm sure it being on Monday night and the 9/11 atmosphere and the first game with Rodgers will have everyone frothing, too. I just think the "it's their Super Bowl" line is overused, I guess. Sometimes, I think there probably ARE games like that for teams in the NFL. The 2021 Bills vs Chiefs regular season game, for instance, kind of had that feel for the Bills. But by and large, I think it's an overblown concept, particularly as it relates to to the Bills. We may have won the division the past few years, but it's not like we're winning Lombardis or even sniffing Super Bowls lately, so I don't think I buy the notion that teams are much more fired up to play Buffalo than they would be to play any other opponent.

Why on earth would week 1 against the Bills be "their Super Bowl"? They traded a bunch of draft capital away for a 40 year old QB thinking they can make it to the ACTUAL Super Bowl. I really don't think week 1 against a Bills team that wasn't even in the AFC Championship game last year is gonna be some big deal to them.

Well, that's the thing with Levi: He's good enough -- provided he's in the right system -- to be a dependable starter. But he's also a guy you're perpetually going to be thinking you can upgrade from. I think the Bills feel that they've done so with Elam/Benford/Jackson opposite Tre. I'm betting the Steelers went into the offseason with a goal of doing so, as well. Wallace will have a long career in this league, but he's never going to be a star or a big money guy. IF he gets cut -- which I doubt -- and wants to come play here for vet minimum, then great. Probably not gonna happen.

With all due respect, if this bothers you, you're Charmin soft.

While some of the particulars of the episodes are outdated -- namely, MANY of the episodes could never happen today thanks to the existence of cell phones -- the humor itself is timeless, and still hilarious. And for those who DO find it too outdated to enjoy, there's always Curb Your Enthusiasm, which is sort of "Seinfeld in the modern day". Comedy is a pretty subjective thing, but in my house, Seinfeld is a non-negotiable. If you don't think Seinfeld is funny, you're probably not my kind of people.

I think it's time for certain Bills fans to let the "trade Ed Oliver!" fever dream die once and for all. He doesn't have much value. If you think he's so unimpressive that he's not worth re-signing to a second contract, then why would other teams be willing to give up major assets for him? If you just want his money off the books and you're willing to take a conditional 2024 5th, then sure, trade him away. Because that's the most you'd likely be getting in return. If his rate of pay this year doesn't bother you, though, then you may as well ride out his final year and let him either have a great season and force your hand in re-signing him, or let him walk and receive a compensatory pick higher than the one you could likely trade him for.

It seems like the Bills have been trying to find a long term answer at RT since Jesus was a boy. I can't remember the last time I felt really solid about that position for any length of time. From Langston Walker to Brad Butler to Cyrus Kuondjio to Seantrel Henderson to Jordan Mills to Cody Ford to Daryl Williams to Spencer Brown... MAKE IT STOP

I'm not saying you're wrong here. I legitimately don't know, because I haven't watched much Seahawks football over the past couple years. However, reading through the comments of Seahawks fans after this signing on FieldGulls (the SBNation site) and elsewhere, they seem to suggest that Ford was at his best in his first couple years with the team as a 1T. That the team then switched him to 3T out of necessity, where he was less effective, and then obviously they transitioned to a 3-4, where he no longer fits at all. To hear some Hawks fans tell it, his best snaps have come at 1T rather than 3T. I honestly don't know who's correct here. It would be interesting to hear Beane speak on it directly if he hasn't already.

My "surprise camp cuts/trades" list includes OG David Edwards and DTs Tim Settle or Jordan Phillips. I know that all three seem unlikely to be cut or traded. That's why I say SURPRISE camp cuts/trades. We've seen Beane trade or unexpectedly cut interior offensive linemen that don't win starting jobs out of camp before. McGovern almost certainly starts at LG, and I have a hard time seeing Edwards beating out both incumbent Ryan Bates AND 2nd round pick O'Cyrus Torrence. I think the drafting of the latter made Edwards' hold on a roster spot somewhat tenuous. Particularly with Boettger and Broeker representing cheaper (albeit also likely inferior) options. As for the DTs, with the signing of Poona Ford, and allowing for the possibility that UDFA DJ Dale has an impressive camp, the Bills could decide they don't want to carry more than four DTs and trade or cut one of the two veteran backups mentioned above.

One could argue that Ford is/was one of the top five or so free agents left at ANY position. He isn't like some of the edge rushers left, who are long in the tooth and whose best days are probably behind them. Ford is 27 and, theoretically, should be in the prime of his career. I'm trying to avoid saying that his addition to the Bills' d-line could pay HUGE dividends, but, well...

Well, I'm sorry that you're feeling Mindbottled, but... While yes, statistically, Ken Dorsey's offense showed some encouraging signs in year one...I'm not sure how ANYONE could watch the stagnancy that crept into the Bills offense as the year progressed and not be at least a little bit concerned. As often happens when a new OC comes in, opposing defenses didn't quite know what to expect at first, and the Bills offense performed well. From about the Vikings game onward, defenses began to adjust, and Dorsey lacked a counter-punch. There were long stretches where the Bills were not able to manufacture many points. It cost them games. Did you watch the 10 point output against the Bengals in the playoffs? Were you happy with Ken Dorsey and the Bills offense that day? Our pass-catching RBs, one of whom we drafted high and the other whom we traded for? 1 catch for 4 yards on the day between them. Stefon Diggs? 4 catches for 35 yards. Gabe Davis? 2 catches for 34 yards. Our rushing game outside of Josh Allen? 38 yards. Go look at the season long statistics for Nyheim Hines, or the amount of targets that he and Cook had all year combined. Go look at Dawson Knox's yards per reception on the year, compared to the rest of his career. Go look at Gabe Davis' deployment from the slot vs out wide compared to previous years. Or, again, to put it simply, go watch the Bengals game again. Dorsey's first year was not catastrophic. It wasn't even BAD. There were positive signs! But it DID demonstrate, at times, a concerning lack of creativity in personnel deployment and adaptability and counter punches to what opposing defenses were doing. The Bills offense of the last 9 weeks or so and the playoffs was not the same as the one we saw to start the year. And yes, Allen's elbow probably had something to do with it, as did other injuries, but...so did Dorsey's lack of imagination. He DOES need to improve in year two. To say that everything he's doing is just fine and dandy and that the Bills offense couldn't and shouldn't have been better down the stretch is, in my opinion, not entirely correct.

I'm at work. For as bad a use of my time as "worrying about the Bills' offensive coordinator" would seem to be, it still beats Excel Spreadsheets and Sales Journal Recon Charts. Once I'm outside on a patio with a beer after my shift, though, I'll be sure to pour one out for ya!

Crying and moaning and having kneejerk reactions is my absolute right as an American, darn it!

Like many here, I like Dalton Kincaid the player quite a bit. The only hesitance I have in drafting him is that I was constantly yelling at my screen last year because Dorsey wasn't effectively scheming the athletic, mismatch tight end we ALREADY have on our roster and pay big money to. I'm dubious that a guy who couldn't find a way to effectively use one tight end will suddenly know how to effectively use two. For a first round tight end who figures to be second on the depth chart to be a worthwhile use of draft capital, he needs to actually be utilized with effectiveness and frequency. Moreover, I was and am concerned about what I perceive to be Dorsey's failure to use the offensive weapons on the Bills roster in the way that best suits their traits. We drafted James Cook and traded for Nyheim Hines largely because both are receiving threats and mismatches against linebackers -- then completely failed to deploy them in that fashion. Gabe Davis did a lot of damage his first two years from the slot, matching up against small nickel corners, safeties, and linebackers. Dorsey rarely used him as such last year. As already mentioned, Dawson Knox is an athletic mismatch in the passing game in his own right, Dorsey failed to use him as much more than a last resort outlet receiver. Now add Kincaid to the pile of guys that require a specific type of usage to be most effective. Going into 2023, with a formidable duo of tight ends, two speedy receiving backs, a top five WR, a big-bodied WR with excellent career touchdown production, and even new, speedy additions in Harty and Sherfield -- not to mention whoever the Bills add throughout the rest of draft weekend -- there will no longer be any excuses or training wheels for Ken Dorsey, in my opinion. "Not enough weapons" will no longer be a viable excuse. If Dorsey can't scheme up a consistently effective offense that consistently makes use of guys like Cook, Knox, and Kincaid, he should be shown the door at the end of the year, in my opinion. There will be no shortage of brilliant offensive minds champing at the bit to work with Josh Allen and co if Dorsey can't cut it.

Dalton Kincaid sounds like the name of a rich jerk movie villain from an 80s movie. So does Dawson Knox. I guess the Bills really have a type.

Scored tickets to both nights of Pearl Jam in Austin, TX in September. One week after that is Billy Strings for two nights in Portland, OR, and I just scored tickets to both of those as well. Shaping up to be a fun week of live music in two great cities with great food!
