This is a sad day for his family, friends, and Bills fans. I also just need to mention Mike Williams is not to be confused with Mike Williams, the OT, whom the Bills drafted 4th overall in 2002: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Williams_(offensive_lineman) Or the Mike Willams, also a WR, who played for Detroit, Oakland, Tennessee, and Seattle in the oughts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Williams_(wide_receiver,_born_1984)

Let's kick a guy while he's down and secretly love doing it. But hey, that's what trolls do. Someday maybe the mods here will do the right thing.

Just post the link without the question mark and following stuff at the end of it.

Tentatively, these are the Sunday, September 10 games for Buffalo TV market (DMA) on zap2it, WIVB, and WUTV: https://tvlistings.zap2it.com/ https://www.wivb.com/tv-listings/ https://wutv29.com/station/schedule WIVB Channel 4 Buffalo (CBS): 1 PM - Cincinnati at Cleveland 4:25 PM - Philadelphia at New England WUTV Channel 29 (or Spectrum Channel 6) Buffalo (FOX): 1 PM - San Francisco at Pittsburgh 4:25 PM - Green Bay at Chicago [I'm not going to look up all the other area markets as there are 210 DMA's total! (doing so would be @YoloinOhioesque). I've spent way too much time posting here today, but the late games on both networks are the lead games, so they should be on most. Either you can check yourselves if you're curious, or just wait until Wednesday.] But decisions, decisions (if I lived in Buffalo). SF-PIT will be the better early game, but of course we want to see what Cincy does as Cleveland always plays them tough. And for the late game, I want to see what Hack Jones does, but Love vs. Fields also excites me, as well as Edmunds' performance.

These have been gathered from the NFL's article below, NFL insiders, and Michael Mulvihill (X @mulvihill79) of Fox Sports. https://www.nfl.com/schedules/flexible-scheduling-procedures Flexing to SNF: For Sunday Night Football, flexing may be used up to twice between Weeks 5-10, and at the NFL's discretion during Weeks 11-17. For Weeks 5-13, there must be a notice of at least 12 days before the game. For Weeks 14-17, the notice is at least 6 days before the game. Flexing to MNF: For Monday Night Football, flexing may be used at the NFL's discretion in Weeks 12-17 with a notice of at least 12 days before the game. Flexing to TNF: For Thursday Night Football, flexing may be used up to twice between Weeks 13-17. The flex window notice is at least 28 days before the game. Teams can only be flexed into TNF once. Week 18: As in prior seasons, for Week 18, the final weekend of the season, the scheduling of the Saturday, Sunday afternoon, and the Sunday night games is not assigned. The schedule for Week 18 will be announced no later than 6 days prior to that week's Saturday game (January 6, 2024). Flexing between Sunday early and late games: Sunday afternoon games may also be moved between 1:00 p.m. and 4:05 p.m. or 4:25 p.m. ET. Primetime: Teams can be shown on primetime a maximum of 7 games, not counting week 18. Protecting Games: There are no more “protected lists” per se, but the NFL will consult with CBS and FOX (as well as the receiving network NBC, ESPN, or Prime) regarding the schedule when it comes to protecting games and optimizing the schedule. Generally, CBS and FOX will get to keep their top game of the week, but they don’t need to send in a list weeks ahead of time anymore. Notes: Only Sunday afternoon games (or those listed as TBD) are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, Monday night, or Thursday night, in which case the initially scheduled Sunday, Monday, or Thursday night game would be moved to Sunday afternoon. So, for example, there can be no moving of games between SNF and MNFand vice-versa. The game that has been tentatively scheduled for Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, or Thursday Night Football during the Flex Scheduling Windows will generally be listed at 8:20 p.m. ET, 8:15 p.m. ET, and 8:15 p.m. ET, respectively. The majority of games on Sundays will typically be listed at 1:00 p.m. ET during the Flex Scheduling Windows except for games played in Pacific or Mountain time zones, which will be listed at 4:05 or 4:25 p.m. ET. During the Flex Scheduling Windows, the games initially scheduled for Sunday Night Football (on NBC), Monday Night Football (ESPN or ABC), and Thursday Night Football (on Amazon Prime) are tentatively scheduled and subject to change. Fans and ticket holders must be aware that NFL games in the Flex Scheduling Windows are subject to change generally at least 12 days in advance (and at least 6 days in advance for Sundays in Weeks 14-17) and should plan accordingly.

I can't stand the guy, but his prediction was so outlandish, I had to post it here to embarrass him (probably his goal, actually). I understand homerism, but this was going a little too far.

Not my prediction, but Nick Wright predicts the Kansas City Chiefs will go 20-0 this year:

Also, not really sure why I am going into such detail here about UK NFL TV, lol. I hope we have a lot of fans who live in the UK on this forum! Another thing: earlier I tried typing "(September 8)" here, and it changed to a smiley face, like this when I hit "enter" at the end of the line: (September 😎 I only prevented it in the first instance above by not hitting "enter" at the end of the line.

I have an update for with the UK TV schedule and announcers for Week 1 and for the Week 5 Jaguars-Bills game in London, as well as some comments. https://www.skysports.com/nfl/news/12118/12950824/nfl-2023-season-live-on-sky-sports-kansas-city-chiefs-miami-dolphins-new-york-jets-and-san-francisco-49ers-in-action-across-opening-three-weeks https://www.nfl.com/news/where-to-watch-the-nfl-in-2023-in-the-uk UK: SNF - NFL Kickoff Friday, September 8 - 1:20 AM: Detroit at Kansas City Sky Sports NFL and Showcase [Note: The opening NFL Kickoff Thursday night is part of the Sunday Night Football package (NBC) and is not referred as "Thursday Night Football" ("TNF").

If you look at the link above, which also has Sky Sports' schedule for Weeks 2 and 3, they have chosen to cover the Jets and Chiefs each time on Sunday in Weeks 2 and 3. So those two teams are being shown in the UK every time in Weeks 1-3 (prime time in Week 1 by default and by choice in Weeks 2 and 3). Damn...how much attention are they getting! I guess people across the pond are obsessed with Aaron Rodgers too. Buffalo will only be covered once in the UK the first three weeks, in Week 1 MNF, where Sky Sports has no choice but to show them. I guess our window has closed [sarcasm]!! Some people here ought to be happy about that. And Sky Sports also states this in the link above: "Sky Sports NFL announces its live fixtures [games] for Weeks 1-3 of the 2023 season, with Aaron Rodgers' New York Jets, Joe Burrow's Cincinnati Bengals and Patrick Mahomes' Kansas City Chiefs in action[.]" And these are the graphics they chose to show for the NFL 2023 season in that link above: No Josh Allen!! I guess Buffalo doesn't draw numbers in the UK. I'm not making a prediction, as I don't want to jinx our team (for those who believe in that sort of stuff), but wouldn't it be a shame if the Jets lost to Buffalo on MNF for the entire nation to see? I would love to see the meltdown that Tuesday.

Yeah. I apologize. It was late at night, and I only read part of the article. I started to read her post, and had difficulty understanding it...sort of like a Stefon Diggs post. I didn't feel like re-reading it 15 times to get the meaning. What I did find funny was the whole bounty thing. I took it as a joke, like she can't be serious....and stupid enough to post a real bounty on the web. It read like a Jerry Springer soap opera. And I tended to wonder about her post's veracity. It had to be a joke. But if it is true, I feel sorry for the child. I came from an unwanted home as a "mistake" baby and was raised by my grandparents. Not good.

Please don't kill me...but a pet peeve of mine. I see this a lot, even on websites of professional organizations: it's "HIPAA" or "Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act". 😀

Damn...I had to look up what color "puce" was, lol. I guess that says more about me though...

[Mods: Feel free to move to OTW] I am not kidding. This is too funny. Anyone know where Gregg Williams is?! IG screenshot: Short excerpt from the article below: https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/707789-eli-apple-injury-bounty-baby-mama "Eli Apple has a bounty on his head. The cornerback, who signed with the Dolphins this offseason, is being targeted by his baby mama. “If you play against my baby dad this season please GO FOR THE KNEES, maybe a hammy,” wrote model Destani. “#33 for the Dolphins – I’ll gladly Zelle you back any fines.” However, Destani also provided context for why she was happy to essentially impose an injury bounty. “We got pregnant after traveling together during the offseason. His response to my pregnancy was “well what did you expect I knew it was gonna happen.” Then he tells me he has a sex problem and I’m the 6th woman in 3 years and the others just had abortions. But I was already 14 weeks at the time of this confession.” She continued. “Fast forward to mid pregnancy, my son has a heart condition and needs a cord blood transfusion but I’m not a direct match and Eli is. The doctors set up an appointment for him to give 30MLS – just ***** 30MLS of blood. This man refuses because I found he smashing a different woman in every city he went to RAW. So he blocks me cause I sent him the article of this girl exposing him. After he told me it was best for the baby to “die” I went CRAZY on him, and his mama cause girl your son is a POS.”

And ESPN+:

A final update to this situation: Hill will face no NFL discipline for the marina incident this summer:

Atlanta has lost two NHL teams. I think the league would be stupid to allow another franchise for that city. They apparently don't support hockey in that town.

Yep, he built Penn State's Pegula Ice Arena in 2013 so the team could go D-I. [Backstory: I saw this girl at my gym a year ago, and I noticed she was wearing a "Pegula Ice Area" shirt. I knew nothing about this at the time and wondered if that's where the Sabres played (I hadn't followed them since the 80's when they played at the Aud)? Or maybe "Pegula" was a common name and the ice arena was named after some other Pegula? I doubted that second thought, lol, as I grew up in the area. It had to be somewhere on the east coast. So I was so curious I had to look it up, and also take a pic of that t-shirt. Now your post gave me an excuse to post it here. I realized then Terry was big-time into hockey. I was also a little disappointed the arena wasn't in Buffalo.]

Miller's partner was Adam Amin from FOX.

I thought for a monent this thread was referring to Big Turk! 😀

I think it was a joke.

So, Lance was Trey'ded to the Cowboys?

I at first misread this, thinking "Von Miller" and Rob Johnson. I was imagining Muprh trying to defend against them, lol. He might stand a chance against Johnson.

As does OJ, who also netted us the eventual draft pick we used to pick Jim Kelly when we traded him to the 49ers in 1978. (see: https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2021/1/31/22258753/first-overall-picks-traded-o-j-simpson-buffalo-bills-san-francisco-49ers-tom-cousineau)
