I got an 87 with the Bills and Blue Jays with being a fan for 15+ years. I don't follow any other team sports except football and baseball. I agree. My favorite college football team is Penn State.

For somebody who decries a supposed American obsession with celebrities, you sure as hell are well versed about a singer/songwriter whom you profess to hate. I think when you look in the mirror, you see somebody who has an unhealthy obsession with Taylor Swift. Bull manure. Our society isn't "cooked" at all. It's simply evolved into a society that you don't approve of because you preferred the version of American society where straight white Christian males ruled the roost and everybody else had to kiss their macho arses to have a chance at any crumbs left on the floor.

Cry me a river for music industry moguls. Like the NFL, I love the product but I understand that there's a lot of unsavory manure that goes on in the production of the music ... and the artists who make the music are too often given the shaft by the people in power.

There were six QBs taken in the first round in 2024, and of the ones who played as rookies, all of them seemed to do better than most rookie QBs. My guess is that 5 or 6 QBs from this class are NOT going to become franchise QBs. When it all shakes out, I think it's likely only 1 or 2 become high level franchise QBs but 1 or 2 others could become decent starting QBs, so it's likely that this might be an excellent QB draft. It will be hard to beat the 2018 class with Josh and Lamar on track to be future HOFers plus Baker and maybe even Sam Darnold being very good franchise QBs.

I think you protest too much. Since the Chiefs seemed to be getting favorable calls from the refs before Kelce and Swift got together, it's hard to make this claim stick. When the Pats were dominant, they seemed to always get favorable calls. I remember when the Dolphins were dominant in the AFC in the 1970s, the refs seemed to always favor them, especially when they played the Bills. Are good teams favored by the referees? As Bills fans, our answer is "yes", but maybe this is all perception. Do Jests or Fish fans think that the Bills are favored by the referees? AFAIK, there's never been a study of whether referees do favor better teams over lesser teams or if it's all perception.

I do not understand the negativity so many posters feel towards Swift. I get that some might dislike Kelce because he's a Chief, but it seems that most of the animus is aimed at Swift. She is a supremely talented young woman who has made it to the very top of her profession in a cut throat industry. She also is a tremendous inspiration for girls and young women all over the world.

That mostly works ... as long as your subs are realistic.

Will we find out more about Tre White's injury via Hard Knocks tonight? He's not been put on IR, so he's on the active roster.

Quality over quantity. Maybe 2024 ends up that way, but we won't know for a while.

I have found that the best place to get reliably tasty recipes is foodnetwork.com. They have numerous recipes for tuna noodle casserole, including the classic one from the Campbell Soup Company: Classic Campbell's Tuna Noodle Casserole. This is the one that I grew up eating.

It's common for the surgeries on the eyes to be a little different from each other. My second surgery (right eye) felt a little "scratchy" at first but it's fine. The laser surgery in office, if necessary, only takes a few minutes. I was able to drive myself home afterwards.

Some drafts are just like that. I think the 2000 draft was also notable for lacking in many outstanding players.

Cry me a river for the Fish.

Players today know their worth. They also know they have a small window to secure their post-NFL financial futures, so they are willing to play hard ball with ownership, especially when they play positions where salaries have exploded in the last 2 or 3 years. Trubiskey looked significantly better in the pre-season than he did in Pittsburgh or even last season with the Bills. I think that the Bills roster is considerably better than many on TSW think it is, and Trubiskey helps make it better. He's highly unlikely to be able to win 5 or 6 games if Allen was out, but I think he could lead the Bills to 3 or 4 wins out of 6 games, depending upon the opponents. I don't think any team with a high caliber starting QB like Allen could ask for much more if their backup QB has to play a string of games.

Thanks for the definition of INCEL. Since I spent 2/3s of my life in the previous century, I'm sadly ignorant of current slang. I finally figured out that something that's "dope" is really good.
