    every state that you can gamble sports has slots, live table games etc. 

    I live in Elmira so I'm close to the NY/PA border. I occasionally bet on Draftkings. You cannot play table games/slots etc. in NY State. But as soon as I cross into PA those games become available. I take my car for service to a dealership in PA and have played a few hands of blackjack while I was waiting. 

  2. I've run into a lot of Bills fan when I've been traveling. I went to the fall Nascar race in Charlotte in 2017 with my dad. He lives in Holley and there were people from Brockport there for a wedding staying in the same hotel. They said something to me about the Bills shirt I had on in the lobby. Somebody yelled "Go Bills" while we were walking to our seats at the race. I went to Cape Cod and Boston a few years ago. I talked to a guy on a whale watching trip who was originally from East Aurora. Unfortunately he was a Patriots fan because he'd lived in Boston for so long. I talked to a girl from Holland waiting for the train and was approached by a couple outside of Quincy Market who were from Youngstown on that trip as well.

    Always start with a Go Bills and see where it goes.  If a conversation starts with a woman, you know there’s a solid chance with her, she’s already used to being optimistic and then disappointed 13 seconds later.

    Not to mention she's probably not looking for a ring.

    Looking back I find it very bizarre that they brought TV's into schools- at least ours- to watch this trial.

    I would have been in 10th grade at the conclusion of the trial. They herded us into the library to watch the verdict live on TV.

    Chris Spielman

    I remember seeing on SportsCenter that the Bills had signed Chris Spielman and being so excited that my sister came downstairs to see why I was yelling. It's a shame that he only wound up playing one full season in Buffalo.

    Hailee can’t take Josh anywhere!

     

    In all seriousness, this would have never happened to Tom Brady in his prime.  Tom always made sure to keep his waistline and legs in check, no matter how skinny the jeans.

    It actually happened to Tom Brady during "The Match" a few years ago. Phil Mickelson loaned him a pair of rain pants.

    Me as well. And then watching Thurman go to Miami? It hurt

    Thurman going to Miami was brutal but I understand his side of it. If I remember correctly, he found out he'd been released from ESPN before anyone from the team had let him know. He was pissed! He said that if the the team had come to him and told him they couldn't afford him, he would have retired.

    Last I saw of him, at a HOF induction ceremony, he looked like he could still play.

    I saw him speak at a fundraiser in Corning in June. He still looks like he could play. So does Andre

    Loved listening to the coach. One of the most anticipated days of my youth was waiting for the first show where he was paired up with Mike "sports talk for smart people" Schopp. RIP big guy.

    Didn't he used to play a clip over and over of Gregg Williams stating that the 2001 team had the talent to win the Super Bowl?

  9. I found him entertaining even if he ticked us off now and then. I remember Wade Phillips and Lonnie Johnson were 2 of his favorite targets. He also used to have a column in the old "Shout!" newsletter that I enjoyed reading. The last I remember hearing him on the radio was in Rochester. He became Bob Matthews' co host for awhile. I always found that funny because I remember hearing Bob Matthews bad mouth him and the "Who loves ya baby" shtick a couple years prior.

    This is pretty dumb.  Imagine telling your head coach, hey, we are going to see if something better is out there.  Sit tight.   Why are people's brains broken?

     

    Spot on. It's the equivalent of somebody telling their wife or girlfriend that they don't want to breakup but they want the opportunity to see if there is somebody better looking out there.

     

    Edit- iccrewman112 beat me to the punch.

    Marino was a stud. That Clayton connection was legit. 

    It’s always stated but that Draft they both came out in was an incredible first round. 

    There were 7 Hall of Famers selected in the first round of that draft. Richard Dent was also drafted in the 8th round that year. So 8 overall. Incredible!

  12. https://xxxxxxxxxx.com/buffalo-bills-arizona-cardinals-stefon-diggs/

     

    This article discusses the possibility of  the Bills trading Diggs to the Cardinals for one of their 2 first round picks. I personally don't see a team giving up a first for a 30 year old WR but that's just me. I was curious to see the rest of the board's opinion. The armchair GMs on here know more about cap implications etc. than I do.

    Nowhere near enough women’s toilets.

    Halftime beer lines were horribly long.

     

    But…they do have a really cool way of filling the beer cup from the bottom through a little valve. Pretty neat! 
     

    And prices were lower than at most NFL stadiums. 

    Bottoms Up Tap System! There was one Bills game I attended where they used that system. I'm pretty sure it was the Bills/Dolphins Thursday night game in 2012. Haven't seen it before or since. I live in Elmira, NY. There's a bar here that has it. I guess it's super expensive to install but it's more cost effective long term. It practically eliminates over pours and foam building up in the lines. It is pretty cool.

    I remember being so pumped about Thad Lewis starting vs the Bengals for his first start. We were so bad at QB for so many years we were looking for any glimmer of hope. 

    I was at that game. He threw a beautiful long TD pass to Marquise Goodwin that I believe tied the game and forced OT. I'll never forget the little kid that was sitting in front of us. He turned around to high five my brother. My brother grabbed him and lifted him up over his head so he could high five the people behind us. 🤣

    I had Spectrum News on while I was getting ready for work this morning. They ran a story about the team, interviewed him, showed him running routes, and teasing again that he was going to play tonight. A few hours later this happens. What a clown show this guy has become over the last few years.

    He is a good coach. I would not want him as my head coach for sure. And I thought it was the right time to move on from him as defensive coordinator as well.

     

    If I had a young team just starting out with a new regime and QB, etc., he would be an excellent candidate for defensive coordinator. But it sounds like he is not interested in a coordinator position anymore.

     

    But I don't think "13 seconds" is a major decider for anyone but Bills fans. Yeah, it would be one thing that might be considered, along with other failures, and they would consider all of his successes as well. Nobody obsesses about "13 seconds" like that besides Bills fans. For everyone else, it was just an exciting moment in an exciting game and spoke more about Mahomes and the Chiefs.

    The Chiefs had all three timeouts left. The Bills played off and protected the sidelines. Middle of the field was wide open. It was garbage coaching. Not even up for debate. Squib kick and play your normal defense, the Bills win the game!
