  1. Sure.... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Bills_(AAFC)
  2. Do some research....yes he paraded them out in a "positive light" in their regalia riding horses (as well as other cultures like the Spaniards and Arabs) but for his shows, he hired Native Americans to play the part of “wild Indians” whom he and his “Indian Fighters” would dramatically act-out how to defeat and kill them (for a fact check read Louis Warren's "Cody's Last Stand: Masculine Anxiety, the Custer Myth, and the Frontier of Domesticity in Buffalo Bill's Wild West" among dozens other articles/books).
  3. It isn't "conflating" it is being intellectually/morally consistent. What is more harmful to someone's feelings....being called a Redskin or being constantly reminded (and cheering for) someone who slaughtered "your people" (think of being the Buffalo KKKs). Remember.... I am not personally calling for changes, however, I am pointing out to be careful of what one asks for.
  4. IF someone wanted the Redskins changed, THEN would expect them to want the Bills name changed - yes.
  5. Well...Washington owned 100s of slaves. I can see them dropping Washington in their name. Heck our beloved Buffalo Bills (ya know named after Buffalo Bill Cody) should be questioned in all this ruckus. In other words,, should the Bills change their name due to Buffalo Bill Cody’s racist behavior as a gesture of apology to all Native Americans and other U.S. citizens? After all, Buffalo Bill was an Indian (Native American) fighter, assisting in systematically committing genocide against the indigenous inhabitants....just sayin'! NOW I personally don't believe we should but you can see the long slippery slope we get into. My only hope is that people at least be consistent with their "cancel culture" herd mentality and not cherry pick and choose.
  6. Agree....and he already has been as evidenced by watching him last year. EVERY great NFL (or pro anything for that matter) will tell you that hard work is what separates the decwnt the great. Many talented NFL players not a ton of super hard workers.
  7. I get the "dam" part to slip past the profanity filter BUT for you boomer I will fix the rest: "Dam [sic] millennials and THEIR slang".....or keep it and add "And WE slang haters with ARE grammar."
  8. My old man was in the air force during that time. He loved the Bills and followed them the best he could. He was in "intelligence" and wasn't really allowed too much contact with the outside world. I was picking sand out of my arse during t our first super bowl. Both my kids are serving now too and keep up with them (one army one airforce). Go Bills!
  9. My FAVORITE memory of Ben was at a game in 1979. My Dad's best friend was a security guard for the Bills. He asked Ben if he would sign something for me. Ben obliged. However, all I had was my father's pay stub. Ben came over to sign it.....looked at the "paper" oddly and said "I am not going to sign that. You have a football?" I told him no. He went to the nearest ball boy and grabbed one from the bag and signed it to give to me. It started my signature collection. Big Ben was my first from a player on the field. ALWAYS memorable and a great man! RIP Big Ben. You made a memory of a lifetime for a 10 year old!
  10. Sorry.....I have to wait to see what PFF says about Josh Allen before I predict ANYTHING. WITHOUT their analysis everything else is garbage! /sarcasm
  11. I stopped reading the OP after he said NE had a great draft.
  12. And saved a TON of money on a lazy slob.
  13. Lol I am guessing IF you had to look up the reference then the poster probably thinks it is more than relevant.
  14. I believe this kid makes the team. I have seem him play a few times. I only remember him making one play. However, I can see him playing a vital role on special teams. He tackles well.
  15. Nah...Iike Zach Moss so much better.
  16. Wow....I would have sworn they would have gone CB here. I know nothing about him. Time for some youtube!
  17. PLEASE give me Curtis Weaver the DE from Boise Stste!
  18. What does mr. WEO say before I say I like this pick or not.... ? (sorry I couldn't handle myself)
  19. Do you have Covid? If so.... let us know how that works for ya'!
  20. Stephon Diggs says "hello."
