Well akkkcshullllyyy.... The Astroturf during the red endzone days was crowned by like 8" down the center of the field toward each sideline, ostensibly for water management / runoff before they did under-field drainage systems.

In baseball stadiums they do some really awesome stuff like the team logo rolled in the grass in the outfield expanse. I'm hoping the wordmark / end zone design will incorporate more of the red. Since they had started the blue endzones in FieldTurf with the white BILLS there was just a sliver of red inside it. TBH I'd be in favor of using a pattern for the endzone background like how the seats are, and then a white wordmark. And the nice thing with grass is that they can really change it up a lot more frequently and try different designs. There is a base layer of white for the lines / grid that stays fairly permanent-like during the season once it's painted on. It fades out but the lines are still there and they mostly just have to do an overcoat spray, not break out the lines and tape and stencils and such.

He wasn't known as much of a receiver but damn he caught most everything that went his way last year.

Notwithstanding other issues in Highmark2.0, I have to say the grass looks MARVelous! We'll see how it holds up in January & February.... Boston media is reporting today that the artificial turf field the Pats* installed at Gillette after the World Cup is not to NFL specifications. They have to rip it up and redo it with an approved type. And they have a game there on Thursday night. Yikes! 😬

Bills PR did release a statement today. Can't link as it's an aggregate from TheScore app, but the byline is Matthew Washington: But... like... howTF can they refine staircases? Hire the Hogwarts builders and make them movable?

Oh, you've slurped up all the Pegula 🍆💦 you can handle? Your jingoism in the face of many design, aesthetic, and function blunders throughout this and other threads is truly c u c k -worthy. They could install a pile of real buffalo dung and you'd praise it.

Just a thought but I'd absolutely be on board with an end zone design that mimics the stadium seating's mix of blue and red.

In the video linked above, he gave a semi-laughing 'no comment' when asked what kind of deal had been reached bw him and Moore. Said that 16 was his college number, so it feels comfortable for him.

I just saw a piece that said Bass hasn't kicked yet in 4 days of camp. At what point does Beane / Brady take this seriously?

It's my birthday too! Marv has quite a few years on me, but I think we're both in need of this guy's services for lighting the candles.

I'll just add in that if she heard, perhaps it'll make her think about it and realize that, yeah, Herb does repeat the same stories over and over and I get trapped into going along with it too. Kirby has a fair point. And I saw a thing awhile back: let's see if it shows below.... Maybe when you see them next, be kinda effusive and ask a couple of times "what's new?" If they garden ask them what they're planting / harvesting, etc. Sometimes you've gotta steer the conversation.

"The Emperor's new clothes are BEAUTIFUL!!!" If you recall in the story, it took a child to say, "He's not wearing any clothes!"

Merry Natal Anniversary!
