Male reporters, especially successful ones often look like river trolls. The only difference is you're older and have adopted a "kid's these days" perception. The world doesn't change as much as you think it does.

Does this do it for ya?

That wasn't the premise.

I've literally never thought that about anyone. No offense, but you kind of seem like a douche.

Unless one of McCoy or Gore implodes, I could see buffalo trainers hiding mats all around Devin Singletary's house with the hopes of saving him for next year. Unless it becomes clear he's going to become a league leader, I don't see him being a necessary piece this year. If the Bills are serious about keeping all of these guys, they've really put themselves in a bind somewhere on this roster. Maybe DiMarco is finally done?

It's not just gymnastics, but it's factually wrong. I am under no legal obligation to allow you to have your voice heard, and I can use any legal means at my disposal to prevent it if I want to. A non-government owned facility is in the same boat. If this forum, facebook, twitter or your local newspaper decided that they wanted to censor specifically you and your opinions, that is not at all illegal. I'm a staunch defender of the first amendment and strongly believe in listening to dissenting opinions as long as they have merit, but in order to do that we need to be explicitly clear about what free speech is and what it is not. Various media outlets (and political figures) have blurred the lines as to what free speech is in recent years, but factually there's a very clear line between government entities (The FCC) and private individuals/companies (Facebook/Twitter, etc.) even when they are publicly traded. Edit: you can consider it bad form, or unethical for a company to censor your opinions or gate the boundaries of discussion, but there's no legal merit to it in most cases as long as it doesn't discriminate against a protected class.

No, it's really not. You don't have the right to say whatever you want, and you certainly don't have the right to do it without consequences. You just have the right not to be imprissioned or sanctioned by the government for it.

He's a professional athlete, I'm sure he has more than his fair share of hanger-ons. Also, if I was a pro athlete I'd buy in bulk too. I wouldn't exactly want to be popping down to a dealer on a weekly basis.

5 ounces is really not that much at all. Personal consumption is completely realistic here, especially if he entertains. Thats's a completely legal amount in a lot of places that have legalized. $1000 street value/$500 from a dispensary.

I don't, but it hovers between 95-110 down here the whole time, so that's why. The other 9 months of the year are pretty great. I'll always have a place in my heart for bitter cold snowy days, though.

I see a lot of Jay Cutler so far, but it's early. Elway would be in that line but it's a bit early for that.

Am I the only one that kinda likes Mike Schopp? he does a pretty good job with quality content, but most of the callers to WGR are completely terrible. His interviews with bills players and coaches is usually solid, and he typically doesn't shy away from tough questions.

Hyde was a 92 in 2018, but he fell off pretty hard from that high last season. i think an 86 is fair. However, Poyer should easily be that high. Shady is done, Hughes is on the back side of his career and no one else is really worth mentioning except the ridiculousness of White. He should have started at 90.

This draft is bogus. Why draft a WR top 10 when McBeane can get a 5'7 guy after the draft?

They've only had one crack at it to find out during BB's reign and he went 11-15. I think that's a pretty compelling case. If he was able to trade Brady and keep Jimmy G, I don't think he'd have missed a beat.

You don't "have to" have the elite #1, but it makes you have to compensate in a ton of other areas. there's a lot of ways to build a great year-in-year-out team. You don't even need a #1 RB or a #1 QB. You either need to out-skill your opponents or you need to be able to out-scheme them and you need the requisite talent to make that happen. Having elite players at positions that help you score or prevent the other team from scoring makes that whole process a hell of a lot easier. Winning the Super Bowl takes a bit of luck, but the better you are, the better position you put yourself in to get lucky.

I mean, let's not kid ourselves. The quality of game itself has been on a massive decline since the eighties.

It DOESN'T work in Cleveland. In fact they got rid of PSLs 5 years ago. Also, the Browns stadiumw as built in 1999, they have cheaper tickets than we do, and their attendance is lower.

I sure don't know 70 thousand of them. The top paying fields in Buffalo are all high end medical jobs, and there aren't that many of them. How many luxury clothes stores stores exist in Buffalo where you pay $500 for a tshirt? How many Teslas, Range Rovers, Porsches, Bentley's, Ferarri's do you see on your commute? If you see them chances are good they're athletes, high-end doctors, or construction company owners. You need that kind of money to afford the types of ticket prices they charge in new stadiums, and there simply isn't the volume for that in Buffalo NY. Maybe someday soon, but they need to start attracting more high end IT companies where making 100k is on the low end of comp.

Who are these people in western NY?

No roof. Let the "fair-weather" fans watch at home or in the box seats. If you add a roof, say goodbye to the Winter Classic, too. As Chan Gailey said, "It's a tough game for tough people."

Why would NFL players care about the stadium? They're onsite for 8 days a year and not as fans. The playing surface is good (if not better) than any in the league.

Agreed on all counts. Add Soldier Field and Lambeau to the list.

They already have the arena for that and a convention center. The only real value add would be stadium concerts, and how many of those do you think the Buffalo market can attract and sell out? It's a small city with average salaries 50% or lower of larger cities. Buffalo can't even support local live music or comedy to a sustainable degree, what problem does Taylor Swift solve? The area needs more employers with a lot more six figure jobs if anyone is going to win on a new stadium.

They aren't squeezing that much more money out of the Buffalo market. It simply isn't there. Stadiums also tend to make really ***** venues for other types of events. I saw George Strait at the Arena, and while the performance was great, the experience was pretty terrible. They'd be better served upgrading there for big events, and leaving the stadium alone. I'm also a hard-line no dome guy. I think it's detrimental to the game and the fan experience, but you probably know that already.
