I’m sure it’s somewhat of a distraction. I think the magnitude of be distraction is overblown. I would absolutely love to see the Bills selected for this show next year if they miss the playoffs this season (otherwise they wouldn’t be eligible).

Good thing someone already thought to ban those. They were banned in 1994 under the Federal’s Assault Weapons Ban. I can’t explain why most mass shooters use AR’s, perhaps because the media talks them up so much? In most southern states a pistol is just as easy to obtain. A shooter can easily make a Glock 9MM with a few extended mags as deadly as an AR. It is far easier to control the muzzle rise and stay on target, because you won’t have any with the Glock. That is where the problem lies. How do you fix the issue? Is it culture or is it the guns? Democrats say guns, republicans say culture. If it’s the guns, You would need to ban all rifles and pistols to pre-empt the switch from rifles to pistols for mass shooters. Then how do you ban a rifle? New York tried with the safe act, by defining “evil” features. You know what someone did, made NY Safe Act legal AR’s. Do you just ban all non bolt action rifles? But wait, a bolt action rifle in the hands of a skilled shooter can be deadly as well. See the Austin tower mass shooting. How do you collect all the existing rifles and pistols? Very few owners will own up to having them. Maybe half if you are lucky. The rest will suddenly have “lost” them. Do you search the house? What if they have moved off the weapons off site? Do you detain them until they talk? But then how do you even force the legislation through? Republicans will never vote for it. I’m sure some Democrats wouldn’t as well. Even if you force it through AND the President at the time signs it, can it withstand a conservative supreme courts interpretation of the 2nd amendment? You can easily see why this hot button issue will likely never be solved. You would need a country unified on the cause. You would need a political party completely in control of the senate, the house, and the presidency. Then you would need a rather liberal Supreme Court interpretation of the 2nd amendment.

But what if you can have gore Singletary Yeldon and a 3rd vs shady gore Singletary. I’ll take the third instead of an over the hill, oft tackled for a loss Shady. Gore put up better numbers than Shady last year on a team that was , at best, on par with the Bills. Likely a worse team.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy

Completely agree. I just hope Morse can be healthy for, at least, game 4 of the season. Might be able to come out 2-1 or 3-0 in those first 3 even with Bodine starting.

Nothing would surprise me about the NFL and the Patriots. But this guy violated his conditional reinstatement. What is he going to get? A conditional reinstatement to his conditional reinstatement?

... this is pretty much what is banned now. What do you think people are out there killing with, grenade launchers? An AR-15 is a rifle.

Nice! This is why most injuries to the OL wouldn’t have bothered me. We have depth everything, except center. Be healthy Mitch Morse. HEALTHY!

From the practices I have seen, Ray-Ray has absolutely outshined McKenzie. I was very impressed with Ray-Ray and Zay Jones up to this point.

If they can somehow pry a 3rd or a 4th I jump on it. Gore was very productive last year on a crap Dolphins team. I wouldn’t mind rolling Gore/Singletary/Yeldon.

This is actually against US law. The Posse Comitatus Act prevents federal troops from being deployed on US soil.

Super successful holdout. Achieved all his goals (sarcasm)

Do firesticks get local channels? I’m unfamiliar with them. If so, I will be grabbing one. He was speaking of getting channel 4 (CBS) for opening day of the Bills. I looked on my guide today and the pre-season games are indeed on ABC (channel 7 in the Buffalo area). But for the regular season, I’m with you. I need to figure out what I’m doing. I’m thinking of going the Mohu Leaf from Amazon. It is an antenna that sticks on your window and has a coax line that you can run to your TV. It includes 10-16 feet of coax but obviously more could be bought.

I will have to check it out. I might have to buy an antenna sooner than anticipated ?. Don’t want to trust that it isn’t blacked out on 212-1.

Indispensable contribution to the thread

Don’t Bills pre-season games usually play on ABC? Channel 7 in the local Buffalo area.

I agree that Lock wasn’t very good. All I remember seeing of Fant is an easy ball dropped and an obvious hold that was called.

Two days removed from the injury and this is still pretty much my philosophy on the subject.

This is absolutely true. I live by the red zone channel. That being said, it’s crazy how it is a $10 a month option on a lot of streaming services, yet is an extra $150 on the Sunday Ticket.

Absolutely disgusting what has happened since they were bought but ATT. It is like they don’t value any customers anymore. They aren’t going to have many left if they keep trying to charge people $150 a month. This isn’t the early 90’s, there are tons of options now. If they ever stop giving me my credits and/or lose the Sunday Ticket I will be gone.

I (and probably the NFL) would prefer if football was every night. I would watch a game every night. The NFL season is nirvana where I get nfl Sunday, Monday, Thursday and college Friday and Saturday. Only “dry” days for me are Tuesday and Wednesday.

Absolutely. These guys are going to play HARD tonight. They are all fighting for a roster spot and being given a rare opportunity to play for an extended time. Usually in the pre-season playing time is hard to come by for many of these bubble guys.

Yes. Confirmed by Beane this morning. ? The sky is still falling. Don’t look up.

I would think McCoy has zero value. You certainly aren’t getting a center of any skill back in return. McCoy is coming off a poor year, is highly paid for a RB, and is old.

My thoughts as well. DIRECTV needs to be sending out antenna kits to all customers that are blacked out.
