I don’t see it getting to that point. Washington was a bit of an extreme. The Atlanta Braves aren’t changing their name as an example.
If they do, so be it. I have a lot of stuff that will be obsolete (including the shirt that I have on now). As long as the “Buffalo” part doesn’t change I’ll manage. I don’t think that it’ll happen though.
The "Braves" isn't a deragetory name for Native Americans. I don't think they should change the Bills name either, btw.

There have been plenty of years were Cam has been healthy and not great. He is just an average QB with injury issues.
I said he has been above-average to great depending on the season. He's won an MVP. He averages 30 TDs and 16 turnovers per year, which for a running QB and including fumbles isn't too terrible. He averages 600 yards rushing per year, to go along with 3600 yards passing. If healthy he has more physical talent than most.
The main factor will be if he is healthy.

The media believes he’s going to be much better on the Pats than he was on the Panthers
I think that, and they think he'll finally be healthy. Now, staying healthy is another issue. When healthy, Newton is above average to great, depending on the year.

That's how to handle a elderly person , a young person the shove would be ok. I don't think the 2 officers should be fired just more training. I left Buffalo after HS and I always pray for my place of birth, I grew up on the near east side
Not fired? If I do that, I'm in prison.

His F the police tweet should be in every newspaper, news report, and court document out there. You can't say stuff like that, and then do what he did last night. I would take it as a threat if I was an officer.
Are you insinuating that the officers had seen his old Twitter posts and reacted to a perceived threat because of it?

If he fails an nfl drug test
I think if he had it in his system without being approved by the NFL he can still be punished even if it wasn't an NFL test.

No one worried about him having character issues.
The problem on the sideline was over Oliver wearing a coat. The coach, Applewhite gets the benefit on the doubt why? Especially when people like Simms called out how poorly Applewhite treated him while at Texas...
Remind me again, where is Applewhite is coaching these day, because it certainly ain't Houston.
He's at Alabama.

And I have never once had an issue or been cited for it. Just a heads up, I speed to, all the time, and that prolly way more dangerous than having a beer as I drive.
glad to know you follow all “‘laws”’to T!
If you can't not drink while driving, you may have a problem.
People who act like drinking alcohol while driving is ok or normal need help. I'm not saying 1 or 2 gets would impair most people, but if it's against the law, and could impair you and you still feel like you need to, it's a problem.

My bad for double posting.
Just deleted a double thread I made.
I don't know why no one's posted the ranking of our players with respect to where they were drafted.
AJ Espenosa ranked 23rd.
We drafted him 54
Zack Moss ranked 76th.
We drafted him 86th
Gabriel Davis ranked 120th.
We drafted him 128
Jake Fromme ranked 85th.
We drafted him 167
Tyler Bass was 281st.
We drafted him 188
Isaiah Hodgins ranked 150th.
We drafted him 207
Dane Jackson ranked 167th
We drafted him 239
Who's rankings?
I don't know anyone who had Fromm at 85. That's mid 3rd at this point with compensatory picks.

Thanks for the info. Maybe Bills Mafia can crash and overtake the Browns draft party??!!
On another note, anyone know if Buffalo can / will ever be a NFL draft host ? Anyone know the criteria ?
Does it even need to be in an NFL city? Would love for the draft to be here in Honolulu - LOL, I know I’m dreaming, but it would be great.
The top two TV markets for the NFL draft this year were Cleveland and Columbus. Nobody's overtaking the Browns on their own draft party. This is usually all we have to look forward to.

That’s the one. Hard to believe it made sense, but that’s just me. I think the 49ers fleeced them.
They did because everyone knew who the Buccaneers needed. But, when you have a 42 year old QB and protection problems, you give up a pick to ensure you get the last of the Big 4 tackles.

AJ is a solid pick but man need another skilled player hopefully Donovan People’s Jones is there in Round 3
I'm a Michigan fan and Peoples Jones should be there in the 6th. He's not good.

Also means they gave away both firsts and a secondThey wouldn't have to give up 18, 26, and a 2nd to move 2 spots. I could see maybe 26. Maybe just a 2nd. Detroit will likely get the same player at 5 than at 3.

Okudah2 1sts and a 2nd for a corner? That seems extremely excessive, but it may be the case. Or Isaiah Simmons to combat McCaffrey.

Hmm, I remember OBJ being on the field a lot during those red zone stops.
OBJ also played all of last year with a sports hernia.
5 hours ago, JohnC said:I'll still take Diggs over OBJ. Diggs did lose control and was fined. And he should have been. OBJ has a more extensive history of problematic behavior.
Can to provide examples? They both tend to have a loud mouth but as far as I know Beckham's never been fined or suspended.

The Browns biggest mistake last year, and every year, is not folding the franchise or moving them again to a different City......
You're original.

Ohhhh the old "backing in" argument. We made it. If that Bengals game had been earlier in the year, our week 17 game would have been win-and-in, which we did. The Bills are clearly a team on the rise, while the Browns are destined for disaster with their current ownership.
And congratulations on beating us last year, that is a quality win for sure, against a 10-win playoff team. Likely the feather in the Browns' cap for the 2019 season.
Anyway, the Bills have done impressive things with their organization in recent years, from overhauling the roster, to completely changing the culture, to creating the expectation of winning. While the Browns have created the continued expectation of "Browns gonna Browns"
The Browns big mistake last year was hiring Kitchens. We'll see about Stefanski, but he seems to be much more organized.
The Bills did well hiring McDermott. The guys running the Browns FO now wanted him rather than Hue Jackson years ago, do I honestly think they'll run similar programs. It's just funny when people act like the Bills are perennial SB contenders.

Except that the Bills have made the playoffs twice in the last three years and the Browns haven't made it in 17 seasons. The Bills had their similar drought obviously, but we don't suck now and we've had relevance in the last 30 years while the Browns only relevance in the past 30-odd years are stories about the back of the Cheesecake Factory.
The Bills have been 1 and done twice in 3 years, and 3 years ago they had to back in on a Bengals prayer game. Congrats. Cleveland beat Buffalo last year. Either way, neither team has done anything impressive for years.

No one is questioning OBJ's superlative talents. Without question wherever he has been he has been the most talented receiver on the team. Yet he keeps getting moved. Football is a team game where how you fit in goes beyond talent and to an extent actual production. Recognizing the fact that Diggs is less talented than OBJ I would still prefer Diggs on the roster than OBJ. You don't have to be an angel to be a wanted member on a team. On the other hand you have to have a level of maturity and stability to contribute to a culture of unselfishness that leads to team success.
Diggs has been traded as times as OBJ. Diggs was fined $200,000 for missed meetings and causing problems last year.
It's funny how people convince themselves their guy is a better guy just because, despite evidence that says otherwise.

So back when the last time the Browns were relevant in the league?
This is gold coming from a Bills fan. We've both sucked forever.

The touchback call I think was just common sense. He obviously gave himself up in the endzone, so it's a touchback.
The delay of game is hard to tell. The broadcast didn't always show the right numbers. By the picture it was, but there's no way to tell if it actually was a penalty.
The "helmet to helmet" wasn't a penalty. To me that's not even close.
I do think the crack back penalty was a bit excessive for what happened.

This trade wasn't that bad. The Hopkins trade was. This trade is more reasonable.
Cooks had 580 yards last year and has an extensive concussion history. This trade isn't as bad as the Hopkins trade, but it's still bad. And they wouldn't have needed to do it if he hadn't traded Hopkins. They're chasing their tail and getting significantly worse.

https://www.chron.com/sports/texans/article/Houston-Texans-trade-WR-Brandin-Cooks-Rams-15191040.php
Texans trade for WR brandin Cooks.
Cooks + 2021 4th for pick #57
Bill O'Brien is an idiot. He essentially just traded Hopkins for Cooks and basically moved up 17 spots in the 2nd round. Terrible, terrible trade.

Those 'Poor' People earning $200k
in Off the Wall Archives
Posted
I agree, to an extent.
My wife and I claimed $296,000 last year. My wife makes about $42,000. I own a small metal fabrication company with profits about $200,000 last year, and payroll of about $54,000 for myself. I paid about $55,000 into taxes, so it looks like I can just walk away with $150,000 at the end of the year but it didn't work that way. The company needs operating money. I took out around $10,000 to cover my Roth and throw some in another investment account.
We live ok, but nothing lavish. A house worth half our towns average ( ours is around 100k). Newer car, but a Subaru, not a BMW or some high dollar model.
So $200,000 didn't mean some extravagant lifestyle of the rich.
