  1. They need to scale back the amount of locations and channels they have. When I see something like ESPN Vegas, or ESPN LA and they are laying off 500 jobs it makes me wonder why they are so global. They also need to focus heavily on the history of sports, its something no one else is really doing. Try hard to capture the older demographic who doesnt want to spend time on their phones, and laptops watching youtube and scrolling through twitter for news. Cut back the production and length of the Pre-Games, and start focusing more on the post game aspects where you actually have something to talk about. Also dont need a two hour pre game show, its overboard. ESPN got bloated and boring. It's just the same vomit everyday. Their 30 for 30 is one of the best sports programs on. Go back to things like the Sport's Reporters, and NFL Matchup which focuses on insight in the game. ESPN went wrong when they started paying blowhards like Stephen A. Smith, Skip Bayless, and Colin Cowherd tons of money, when they know absolutely nothing about the actual games.
  2. The last two weeks Diggs has shown the catch and run ability that the offense really needs. Thats something the offense has sorely missed, and something Beane said the Bills were going to go after. My hope is the contract doesnt become an issue, but he is obviously better than the 16th best wideout in the league.
  3. First time I saw it I was visiting PA with my Grandparents. I was a little confused by its existence as it essentially looks like Sausage living on the edge of reality. Hits the pallet ok, but not a fan of the aftertaste.
  4. I dont think Nance will be available for football this weekend. He is usually the main guy on the Masters which is going on.
  5. Tough year for me. I was ten, it was the year my Father passed away from a heart attack at 38. Guy was my best friend and hero, watched and learned so much sports with/from him. Learned a lot of tough lessons from his passing but God has blessed me ten fold since then. Now I have two sons to share those lessons with. My oldest called me five minutes after Sundays game and before I could say hello he yelled "I told you thatd beat the Seahawks" Looking through my Dads old year book cleaning up my garage couple weeks back and his senior quote was "Enjoy it, it goes too fast." I agree. Enjoy it and Go Bills!
  6. The gamea are getting harder to predict. I thought the Jets would beat the Pats this week.
  7. Stood out big time when I watched Ryan Finley at NC State. Was hoping the Bills may take a shot.
  8. Oh man seriously! Keep that friend around for a very long time.
  9. Just finished Belichick by Ian O'Connor. The guy is a complete piece of trash.
  10. Hot Hands Perriman. Not sure how he is still in the league.
  11. Told my kid on Saturday, I think the Jets are going to beat the Pats on Monday.
  12. Ahh thought it was non throwing for Darnold as well. My bad.
  13. Against the Chiefs. Same injury Josh has been playing through.
  14. They meant NFC East.
  15. I listened to the same replay. True gentleman and despite the Cancer a worker until the end. Truly a giant of his industry.
  16. Agreed man. My 7:30 to 8 will never be the same.
  17. The best part about this is that McKinley thinks he is the big deal in the situation. Ten years from now the Atlanta Falcons will still be a billion dollar NFL franchise and no one will remember him. He is the guy who give his two weeks notice and says "You guys are going to miss me around here" and then the following Monday the new guy comes in and its business as usual.
  18. RIP Alex. Started watching the show at 9, and still watch it every night. I think I learned more from Jeopardy than I did in college.
  19. You're correct, except for this will soon get into semantics. The Super Bowl was in 2019, but the league year was 2018. Although you'd still be correct because he made 22 million. Just expecting people to tell you Mahomes won the superbowl last year.
  20. Exactly this. Making the line $20 million dollars is arbitrary. If you don't normalize the data to show correlation to the Cap, then $20 million is essentially meaningless and ultimately coincidental. With more players making $20 million dollars a year, that imaginary line could disappear as early as this season. Probably should focus more on the idea that the Super Bowl is extremely hard to win. Only 33 quarterbacks have won a Superbowl in 54 years. Think about that, without digging too far into it because I am not bothering to see how many Quarterbacks have started a game since 1966, I am also not going to see how many teams played per year. But, on just a simple math the likelihood a given team will win a Super Bowl is 3%. Like it or not, the window is always going to be small, whether you pay a Quarterback or not.
  21. I think the defenses they faced, and having your starting QB is a shoulder harness had a lot more to do with the passing attack lacking than the weather did.
  22. I literally yelled out "thats the perfect play call!" Thought it was Daboll but holy crap what a great check.
  23. They have to figure something out because statistically he is the worst coach in the league when it comes to challenges and its not close. Last time I checked he was somewhere around an 11% success rate.
  24. Acted like they werent interested in tackling Diggs
