I can't get past how he spelled bizarre "bazar" and that he went into about how he's some expert psychologist by not naming the quarterbacks to ensure there's no knee jerk reactions to the post? Is Voldemort one of their QBs?

You might as well go. If I lived in town I'd probably go.
I live across the border in St. Catharines, but close enough.

I bought tickets! To the preseason games...
Yeah I know Weeks 1 and 4 suck, but I like just being there seeing the team and it's fun to take the family for cheap. Midfield seats, second row for the one game and aisle seats for my limited mobility mother for the other.

He’s in the program so gets tested randomly, but two days in a row seems odd. And couldn’t they do it before or after practice?
The best time to catch them is when they don't expect a test? Won't think to take those drug masking products? I dunno.

They had two firsts
On 7/18/2019 at 1:06 PM, Aussie Joe said:Two low firsts..23 and 31...
Giving up a hell of a lot more to get to number 2...
There was speculation of what the Bills( they had two firsts as well) had to give up to get from 12 to 2 and it was insane...Doubt it was possible for the Patriots to able to get there..
Yeah, what Aussie said. I vaguely remember at the time thinking the Patriots were just too far down the order to make a move. Moving up 20+ spots in the first round is exponentially more difficult than in later rounds.

It's weird to see people still operating under the belief that NRC just horribly misplayed the ball.
He straight up admitted he committed the foul on purpose. Something about he didn't think he was in position to make a play on the ball so went after the man or something to that effect.

Wow, now that is stupid. The equivalent of spillin hot coffee on yourself and sueing them.
Except that was a legitimate case the lady won. The coffee was brewed/served at WAY too high a temperature, and I'm not sure but there may have been something about the lid not being secured properly.
She wound up with actual horrible burns on her lap and groin. And they did come down on her for spilling it on herself, ruling she was 20% at fault thus losing that percentage of the money awarded.
Because of the case, it became mandated that they actually implement safety protocols to make sure coffee is served at a temperature that won't cause third degree burns to your crotch should there be an accident.
TLDR, the meme of frivolously suing over coffee is a myth.

Syracuse is a mix of fans from most teams, so I answered No. Even the Bills have pulled back a lot from years ago with their advertising and events from the area.
Doesn't matter, you're in the geographic "market" so the answer is yes. You're answering a different question than the one asked.

I am in Ontario, but much closer to Detroit than Buffalo. The fan base here is pretty diverse, with fans of the Lions, Packers, Steelers, 49ers, Patriots and Bills. There are not enough fans of any one team to dominate the region.
To be fair, it was the marketing strategy of the Bills to play their games on Global TV (then CTV and City TV) every week, beginning in the late 90's that picked me up as a fan. Watching the same team, week after week sucked me in and now I'm obsessed with all things Bills related 365 days per year. My sons are also diehard fans of the Bills as well.
I'm in St. Catharines over by the Niagara Falls border, and the spread is pretty much the same here excluding Detroit and San Fran. I would love for there to be more of a public Bills presence here including Bills Backers bars considering our proximity to Buffalo, but I guess football culture isn't as engrained here on this side of the border.

What would it have cost the Patriots? I know they always seem to have extra draft picks laying around but don't remember what they had at the time.

I think I would rather have two great $9M receivers than one elite $18M receiver. There is a bigger drop off to the second or third corners than the gap between an elite receiver and the other team's top corner. What would have been your #2 WR is now on their #3 CB.

For what it's worth, he's planning to -attend- a Sabres Stanley Cup because he's going to be -IN- the Bills Super Bowl.

...no mention in this statement.....baseless assumption perhaps.......
.."Former NFL quarterback Jared Lorenzen died Wednesday at the age of 38 after battling kidney and heart issues as well as an infection, his family announced."
..how about we remember the lad for some GOOD he tried to do for himself and OTHERS..............
By Jared Schwartz-NY POST JULY 3, 2019
In 2017, then weighing more than 500 pounds, the former Kentucky star launched the “Jared Lorenzen Project” to document his weight loss journey and support others battling with obesity. In a little less than a year, he had lost more than 100 pounds, and his story was documented by ESPN.
For what it's worth, drug and alcohol use have been known to cause kidney and heart issues.

I read that he got cut off by someone, leading to the rollover. Terrible
Supposedly the other involved car was a Maserati, which doesn't surprise me based on the drivers up here in the Toronto area.

Rumor has it that the EMTs were on the patriots payroll
Is this supposed to be a tasteless joke?

Why you should always trade down not up in the draft. Its a total crap shoot and none of these GMs are any better at finding talent than any of the others. The examples of busts and misses are limitless.
Beane has no idea if Allen will ever be able to consistently complete a 10 yard crossing pattern or if a 19 year old kid can continue to develop any more than the other 31 general managers.
Trade down and add more players. Every once in a while you will find a Stevie Johnson or even better an Antonio Gates.
Of course there are always gems in UDFA like Jason Peters, too bad the Bills couldn't find a guy like that. I mean a future HOF player at LT. Bills just never seem to find those guys.
The sarcasm may not be clear enough for some on here.
Wasn't him being traded a forced issue? Like he just wanted out of Buffalo or something?

That’s horrible, I thought the NFL would donate at least 50%. Greed is a disgusting thing.
To be fair, at least they're not one of the WORST offenders. NFL makes about $12.50 profit on a $100 sale, with the charity getting closer to $10. Factor in overhead, and about 8 cents on the dollar actually goes to cancer research. The charity has a reasonable 23% loss on overhead on donations, many other nonprofits are much higher. Total contributions averaged to about $31k per team.
Better off just getting knockoff pink gear and donating the savings directly to the charity rather than support the NFL's disingenuous charity marketing. They have refused a player's request to wear pink for the full season after his mom died of breast cancer, and fined another player for promoting a "rival" charity on his eye black after his father died of cancer.

I'm calling on #BillsMafia to come up with their most creative Bob Kraft troll job for the Pats@Bills game. Signs, props, costumes, anything you can legally get (or smuggle) into New Era Field. Read some of the comments in Shefter's twitter thread for inspiration. Let's put our minds to this, people!!
Do...do you want us to make Jewish jokes?
3 hours ago, ShadyBillsFan said:just print these out
I don't trust any place that just vaguely claims "a percentage of proceeds" will go to charity. Like how the NFL actually makes more in profits off pink gear than they donate to breast cancer research. I've seen the donated percentage be as low as 5% of profits.

I'd love to have a BBQ sauce as bold and hot as this take.

My ex fiance became my girlfriend in the first place because of the comeback against the Pats, and we got engaged at a Bills game in Toronto. I think she would have been down for something like this heh.

You guys just remember that old BuffAlone was the first to recognize that this is completely absurd
I read it here first!
I'd rather go with the old Tony Dungy mantra of being so good at the basics, that you could tell them what you're about to do and they wouldn't be able to stop it.
The versatile O-linemen is more important for depth, not being a "jack of all trades, master of none" gimmick that is more easily stopped if they catch on. You can just run more unorthodox plays if you want to catch them off guard.

Tampering Tom, of both footballs and cell phones.
As for trademarks vs "common use" terms, I could be wrong but I think some here have it backwards. I don't think you have to be commonly referred to as something to trademark it (how else would you trademark a new intellectual property), you just can't trademark something that is ALREADY a common term. Like you can't go out and trademark "Garbage Can" so that you have instant name recognition and force everyone else to spend money redoing their packaging to sell "waste receptacles" instead.

Eh, after our 3-0 start we'll just need to manage .500 the rest of the year to contend for a Wild Card spot. Very possible, if not likely.
