Obviously a bit of a stretch for me to get there but the game on Thanksgiving night is a perfect way for me to start my 40th birthday celebrations.
We'll set up some wings, hot dogs and various other finger foods on the table whilst the game is on. I'll let my son stay up late to watch all the game. My friend who I go to the London games with is a Cowboys fan so I might let him pop over too.

sorry Bill, i meant the question for our American Smiths fan, you would have no trouble on Smiths news during the day...
No worries. I only became a Smiths admirer after the fact. They were at their peak just before I became an age to get really interested in music.
I got to The Smiths via later bands like The Stone Roses, The Charlatans and Oasis. All bands from the Manchester area who were influenced by The Smiths.
Noel Gallagher idolises Johnny Marr.

a great band, Mozza had done some great work on his own as well
and he's enough of a nut to keep things interesting in the press every few months
His recent political allegiances have caused some hysterical uproar. Almost beautifully done.

I would have loved to have seen a photo of him in those shorts.

Morrissey did well for himself, I'm pretty sure lol
Rest of the band not so much.
Let's not pretend The Smiths were just Morrissey. Johnny Marr was a more talented musician.

Must win... could be a downer for a few weeks after.
Granted the schedule heats up after the Denver game but this Bills team seems to have coped pretty well with losses this season.
It would have been fairly understandable for their heads to drop after a loss but they've bounced back each time. Fair enough, we played Washington and Miami straight after defeats but we're not exactly that good a team to be saying those were shoe-ins. Especially with Miami winning a couple beforehand.
The win against Tennessee was a great bounce back after the New England loss.
I believe the team is mentally strong enough to pull out a result or two between Denver and Jets. They seem to revel in the underdog role.

How do you intend on celebrating?

Funny enough, not a SINGLE player-turned-analyst has defended Garrett. Not even some of the dumber ones that normally look for contrarian hot takes. Every one of them agrees Garrett was the one and only one to cross the line.
Osi Umenyiora thought the ban was harsh. That’s as close as I’ve found to anyone in the media defending Garrett.

Most pleasant, old chap.

Do you think their lips are touching? ????
Looks way too consensual.

They have a free week trial, after which you can cancel if you like.
I spent the first 10 weeks of last season signing up for the free trial, cancelling immediately after the Bills had played and repeating every week.
It wasn't notice until week 10 and by then you could purchase a subscription at a reduced rate.

I've just seen Rivers' interceptions from last night. He's making throwing the ball look like it's the hardest thing he's ever had to do.

Love Oasis. I wish they would love one another a little more.
They’re a ***** pair that’s for sure.
Oasis were the band I idolised as a teenager. Bought all the albums and singles. Got to see them live in around 2005 at City of Manchester Stadium.
I’m not a big fan of the Gallagher’s solo stuff.

The first time I heard this song was The Salton Sea movie. I was never a huge techno guy, but there was a time where I spent some hours in rave clubs and checked out the scene. This song gives me good vibes and the Chemical a bothers are masters of their craft.
That particular track was co-written by Noel Gallagher. Gallagher also performs the vocals.

Sound that. We have our annual Christmas poker night that particular night in a local sports bar.
Poker and football. Nice.

I saw a bit of the Raiders on Redzone last week and their offensive line looks pretty good. If they can win the battle against Bosa they can win this one.
Incognito looks in good fettle still. Look for Jacobs to run towards the left side of his line a lot.
Big question is still the Raiders D.

For the first time in as long as I can remember the Bills play on the same day as my soccer team over here in the UK.
I get to take my son to the soccer then back home in the warmth to watch the game.
Will put a lovely pot of chicken and potato curry on the slow cooker before we go to soccer so we can tuck in as the Bills do the business.
Must be a fair number of Bills fans going to this one?

3) is not true.
As for would players refuse to sign for a London team.... maybe. But London is one of the greatest places to live in the world. If players can put up with living in Green Bay and Cleveland I struggle to understand why they would be so outraged by London.
Untrue and amazingly ironic.

Was it just me, or did anyone else think Phillips was going to get a flag for hitting the QB so hard. It was legal and clean, I’m just getting preconditioned to expect a flag for stuff like that.
Think Haskins’ size helped. If it had been Murray it might not have ended so well.

I hope someone decks Landry. We owe him two good hits. We don’t really have any junk yard dogs on defense though to rough him up a bit so it won’t happen. Just like it never happens with Edelman. Only difference is I think Edelman genuinely is a tough player. Landry is a fake tough guy.
Fingers crossed they run some kind of stunt play and he has a meeting with Phillips, J.

We miss him on the UK TV coverage. They have had numerous guest analysts over the years and Rob Ryan was by far the best. Most knowledgeable and most entertaining. He is way better on TV than Rex because Rob can actually laugh at himself a bit. Rex is so smug he just comes across as a condescending prat. I was surprised he went back into coaching to tell the truth but it is clearly addictive for him. Let's hope the Bills run right through his linebackers today.
Aye, I’d much rather have him sat next to Reynolds than some of the others on Sky.
I’d also much rather have him on tele than anywhere near the Bills sideline.

Do/did you have a nickname?

Did or do you still have a nickname?
Growing up in the late 80's/90's we went through a phase of calling each other by our mother's forename. My mum is called Lesley and my nickname of Les has stuck with me for over 25 years now.
You can always tell which set of friends knew me from growing up as they call me Les where as people I've met and become friends with through soccer/work/ etc all call me by my actual given name.
