Was I the only person who read the following, and nearly barfed at another NFL pundit who knows literally the inverse of anything substantial on the Buffalo Bills? "Moss is a similarly slashing runner" Moss is Thunder. Singletary us lightning. It's not like that's a novel concept, among catch-phrases for NFL RB's... lazy journalism at it's finest. I guess I'll take lazy journalism, though, if it at least highlights the Bills. Can't win them all, right ?

Charges against Ed Oliver dismissed

I meant it more in the "better than" sense of the symbol. -
Charges against Ed Oliver dismissed
ROCBillsBeliever replied to FluffHead's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
My take, from this: Ed Oliver > Marcel Dareus. Enough said. -
Training Camp countdown and previews
ROCBillsBeliever replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Glad to see OUR staff being organized, prepared, and detail-oriented. Imagine how Wrecks' discombobulated crew would have handled COVID... I don't even want to think about it; I'm just thankful we have McBeane in charge. Side-note: Even The Hoodie is behind the 8-ball on this... Bills fans should be licking their chops. The tide is turning in the East, and WE are ready to take the division by the jugular! -
Pegulas to buy energy business
ROCBillsBeliever replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in Off the Wall Archives
Yup: buy low / sell high. This is what wise investors do. When the street value of a business is low, but they have good potential, that's when the smart investors swoop in. Good on Pegs for playing this the right way. Reading through this article, I noticed an interesting tidbit: "Those sales provided Pegula with the cash he then used to buy the Sabres and the Bills and build the HarborCenter hotel and ice rink complex next to KeyBank Center, among other ventures that also include a country music recording studio." So T&K are Country Music fans? That's cool. Love me some George Jones. I figure, as Bills fans, we can all commiserate with drinking tons of whiskey to drown our sorrows, stemming from repeated heartbreaks, ha ha! -
Coming from a former distance runner, here's a brief scoop on fast-twitch (a.k.a. "quick twitch") and slow-twitch muscle fibers. -Fast-Twitch muscle fibers are able to fire (i.e. react) very quickly, but you might say that they "run out of gas" more rapidly. -Slow-Twitch muscle fibers are able to fire (i.e. keep firing) for an extended period of time, before "running out of gas", but they can't fire (i.e. react) as quickly. Think of high school gym class: some kid would crush you in the 100 m sprint, but you may have been able to out-last them in the gym class mile. You had a greater proportion of slow-twitch muscle fibers; your 100 m champ had a greater proportion of fast-twitch muscle fibers. -We all start out with a mix of fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers, and BOTH can be trained. Obviously, some are more gifted one way or the other. Back to the gym class story: you (the one who lost the 100 m, but won the mile) probably hadn't done serious training, yet, but you already had more slow-twitch muscle fibers. You may have had a 60/40 split of slow-to-fast twitch muscle fibers. A good cross country coach should have seen your gym mile time, and bothered you like crazy to quit trying to play football, and instead to run cross-country (This is exactly what happened to me, in high school, so I speak from experience). Overall, the key, in training as a young athlete, is to figure out what type of muscle fiber you have a greater propensity for, and get into the sport (or sports) that require that muscle fiber type. You can always improve one fiber over the other, through direct training (i.e. Speed / heavy-lift training for fast-twitch, or cardio for slow-twitch), but why not just get into the sports where you're already going to have a competitive advantage? (As a side-note, this is what the Soviets did with their child-athletes, back in the day. Theyyyyy probably took things waaaay too far, but the idea of figuring out what type of muscle fibers child athletes had, and directing them into the sport(s) they were best suited for was actually a very good idea, in terms of competitive advantage).

Free Agent or Trade? One more baby!
ROCBillsBeliever replied to Frez's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
@Ridgewaycynic2013 I believe that T.O. believes he still got game, but that's not really saying anything ? -
New Redskins name in 24-48 hours
ROCBillsBeliever replied to section122's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
My top 10 candidates (in no particular order): -Washington Carpetbaggers -Washington Rioters -Washington 1%ers -Washington Blue-Bloods -Washington Republicrats -Washington Democans -Washington Anti-Vaxxers -Washington Black Cats (if you've ever been to an indie show or a dance party there, you'll know what I'm referring to) -Washington Short-Buildings (because of the regulations regarding buildings over a certain height) -Washington Watergates Great clip. Awesome film! -
I feel like Tunsil gets a notoriety boost because of the whole gas mask bong / media attention surrounding that escapade / being under drafted. If Jerry "I'm too old for the TBD pundits to approve of" Hughes put on a clinic against him in a playoff game, then one of the two following statements must be true: 1) Despite what the TBD haters say, Hughes DOES, in fact, have gas left in the tank. 2) Tunsil is over-rated. I'm good with either statement. Hateraide-gulpers: just pick one, and quit harping on both.

Am I the only one out there who read this as: Bills give "Special Teamers" the option to opt-out for 2020 while maintaining seniority and seat location? i.e. Reid Ferguson doesn't have to long snap this year, and he gets his same spot on the bench, in 2021. I'm sorry... not enough sports... my brain is melting.

Pats*** finally penalized for taping
ROCBillsBeliever replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Nope... Next time they will owe me, personally, two lobster rolls, and you one unused Brady "enjoyment tool" . Let's be real, tho: lobster rolls are pretty pricey, folks... That's something. -
I'll admit, I haven't read all 21 pages of this, but I was listening to Marcel Louis-Jacques, and he noted that if the Pat********** let Cam walk, after 2020, they'll net... Wait for it... Wait for it... THE 3RD ROUND PICK TAKEN FROM THEM IN THE BENGALS FILMING SCANDAL!!! Yep... Effin Cheat-you-outta-a-check has struck again... Eff that withered, reptilian Sith underling...

Does the NFL have a bubble plan? Covid rising

Tom Brady is old. Old people are at greater risk. I am pleased by this confluence of circumstances. -
