  2. I didn't see this mentioned here and couldn't find it in a search, but if it was, please feel free to merge or delete this post. Last month, Andre Reed (Class of 2014) was announced as one of the four Pro Football Hall of Fame Gold Jacket coaches for this year's 3-day adult fantasy camp in September, along with Cris Carter (Class of 2013), Brian Dawkins (Class of 2018), and Terrell Davis (Class of 2017). Andre's statement: https://www.profootballhof.com/pro-football-hall-of-fame-fantasy-camp-set-for-sept-16-18-2021/ “When I heard about the Hall of Fame Fantasy Camp, I knew I wanted to be a part of it,” shared Reed. “This an opportunity for true fans of the game to experience it like never before and showcase their skills at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. I am looking forward to scouting, drafting and coaching alongside my fellow Hall of Famers, Cris Carter, Terrell Davis and Brian Dawkins.”" Here is the official link: https://www.profootballhof.com/fantasycamp Excerpt: "Each participant will get the chance to participate in NFL Combine-like drills to showcase their skills to the Gold Jackets, who during an NFL Draft style event, will draft their teams for the games. Every player will get to play in scrimmages leading up to their game that will take place in Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. Included with the event registration fee are hotel stay, meals, ground transportation in Canton, plus each participant will receive an exclusive HOF Gear Pack and a behind the scenes tour of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. There will also be social gatherings and networking opportunities for each participant." This is the itinerary: Thursday, September 16, 2021 12pm - 5pm: Check-in 6:30pm - 8pm: Welcome Dinner 8pm - 10pm: Tour of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Friday, September 17, 2021 8am - 9am: Breakfast 9:30am - 11:30am: Combine 11:30am - 12:30pm: Lunch 12:30pm - 1pm: 7v7 Tutorial 1pm - 2:30pm: Scrimmages 3pm - 4pm: Film Study 7pm - 8pm: Dinner 8pm - 10pm: HOF Draft Experience Saturday, September 18, 2021 8am - 9am: Breakfast 9:30am - 11am: Pre-Game Practice 11am-1pm: Games 1pm - 2:30pm: Lunch/Photo Op 2:30pm - 3:30pm: Consolation Game 3:30pm - 4:30pm: Championship Round 4:30pm - 5pm: Championship Ceremony/Photos 7pm - 10pm: Dinner & Awards I have to admit it was funny watching the men, many of whom were out-of-shape (to be kind), participate in the combine and drills above, but it looks like they had fun.
  3. I have lived in the Bay Are for 11 years now (San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose), so I don't mind if San Francisco does well, though I am not really a fan. I have also been spoiled by the Golden State Warriors and San Francisco Giants multiple championships in the past decade. Easy to support those two teams when Buffalo doesn't have any. The A's and Sharks have also done well. But I can't stand the former Oakland Raiders though. Now when I lived in southern Maine in the 90's, the Patriots fanaticism was insane. I couldn't stand it.
  4. I know you are joking, but -6 is actually tied for fourth best spread that week with Dallas at Tampa Bay, also at -6. This is not bad.
  5. Matt Cassel too, who technically started one game in 2015!
  6. Tampa Bay at New England Sunday night October 3 in Week 4:
  7. He probably means Tampa Bay. I would actually prefer them late since the Florida weather will be cooler.
  8. This means cooler temps! I'm all for that.
  9. According to a Yelp review, they have green astro turf for carpeting: https://www.yelp.com/biz/red-carpet-inn-orchard-park?hrid=rgfCX7_3KZAMQlu_tOy2ZA&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) "While it looks like you might be accosted-and you might, and while the astro turf carpet (green-not red) may have you looking for hole 8 with the scary clown swinging over the hole, I was actually relatively pleased with our stay." Overall, they have horrible reviews and a 1.5 star rating on Yelp, which is bad.
  10. Here is a video of Brian Moorman on a fake field goal: [starts at 0:37] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfslWtWZo6o
  11. Alas, they went out-of-business last year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Souplantation "Sweet Tomatoes, operating as Souplantation in southern California, was a United States-based chain of all-you-can-eat buffet-style restaurants. The first location opened in 1978 in San Diego, California, where the company was headquartered. The company was incorporated as Garden Fresh Corp. in 1983. The company went public in 1995[2] but was taken private in 2004.[3] The company, owned by Garden Fresh Restaurant Corporation,[4] temporarily closed its 97 locations in March 2020 because of uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On May 7, 2020, the closure was made permanent[5][6] and the company filed for liquidation."
  12. I hope it is prime time, in the evening. Imagine: Josh vs. Trevor Lawrence. Also, regarding the scheduler release, last year individual team sites were allowed to publish their schedules at 7:30 PM ET, 30 mins prior to the official release. This year this has been pushed back to 7:45 PM, per PFT ("This year, the schedule will be released on May 12. Fischer reports that, like last year, teams will be permitted to release their individual schedules before the 8:00 p.m. ET removal of the sheet on the full slate of games. This year, however, teams will get a head start of only 15 minutes. Last year, it was 30.").
  13. The tweet was removed I guess, but here is today's updated version, with more rankings: Also, Ryan Wilson of CBS Sports ranked us as having the 7th overall best draft: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2021-nfl-draft-ranking-every-teams-draft-class-patriots-crush-it-followed-by-cards-broncos-lions/ "Favorite pick: Houston's Marquez Stevenson has speed to burn and we love the idea of him joining a wide receiver group that includes Stefon Diggs, Cole Beasley and Gabriel Davis. He'll likely be given a chance to step into the John Brown role and we'll be watching to see if even Josh Allen has the arm strength to overthrow him. We had an early Round 6 grade on Stevenson. Best value: We figured Wake Forest's Boogie Basham would be long gone by the bottom of Round 2 (we liked him as a late first-rounder) and we expect him to be a Day 1 contributor, along with Bills first-rounder Gregory Rousseau. Most surprising pick: Northern Iowa's Spencer Brown is a mammoth human being and dominated the FCS competition. He also showed well at the Senior Bowl and truth be told, this pick isn't all that "surprising" because we had a mid-fourth-round grade on Brown, who adds much-needed depth to the Bills o-line."
  14. Also good for body builders, power lifters, etc. It has casein protein, which is super slow digesting. I take it right before bed, so my muscles can more easily hypertrophy (get bigger) (they do so during sleep after lifting, and need protein to grow).
  15. Good man for posting a "TLDR", lol! Thank you.
  16. Not about the Bills schedule, but Atlanta plays a home game in London in October against a non-division opponent: https://www.atlantafalcons.com/news/atlanta-falcons-plan-to-travel-to-london-in-october "The Atlanta Falcons will serve as the home team in an October game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, as part of this season's NFL's International Series. The exact date of the game, as well as the Falcons' non-divisional opponent, will be announced when the NFL releases its 2021 schedule in May. Final scheduling of the game is subject to the status of the COVID virus, travel restrictions and game-attendance allowances." So the opponent would be Detroit, New England, N.Y. Jets, Philadelphia, or Washington.
  17. Chris Trespasso of CBS has us taking Benjamin St.-Juste, CB from Minnesota in Round 2, and passing on Freiermuth. Not sure why he would be taken so early. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2021-day-2-nfl-mock-draft-kyle-trask-lands-in-nfc-east-panthers-pick-left-tackle-for-sam-darnold/
  18. Because it's a healthy hobby, fun, and keeps me in shape. For me, it's better than sex, lol! Only thing that would be better is a Bills Super Bowl win, preferably destroying Marsha in the process.
  19. LOL! Yeah, I suppose you're right. 😃 But I have to do something to keep me on the straight and narrow I guess; it's not easy for me. And all the food posts here got my juices flowing. Grrrrr...again, I am so jealous of everyone here!
  20. Couldn't agree more! Too many risks. Gear is bad.
  21. I'm a power lifter, so I am just having my standard fare of lean chicken, milk, and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables (and 1/2 oz. of dark chocolate, lol). I'll hate myself if I go off course. Jealous of all you others!
  22. 😄 Heck, he should get free membership for life! The odds of all 32 picks and the trade being correct are almost nil.
  23. I freaked out when I saw your title; I thought "uh, oh, what happened to our #1 WR Diggs?", lol.
