The Bills are moving to Toronto?

I'm confused. What year is it?

That one reads like one of those pre Super Bowl feel-good stories they do every year.

Is this the official pre-game thread? Might be a bit early to be discussing game strategies and matchups. When the game is played, we'll all be like:

I hate these overseas games. But, since we're stuck with one, I personally like the fact it's relatively early in the season when the team is still fresh. As the season wears on, any extra travel has to be a nuisance.

(Note to self - 'on Oct 8, start drinking early')

Is it too soon to resume giving him a nickname?

The "NoSleeveStripes" guy...

OMG! Pazuzu has possessed the Bills!

If he isn't, he's doing it wrong....

I think it's a bit outdated. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

You do you, Josh....

I always find it a bit off-putting when playoff teams try to limit visiting fans. It's sort of moot as well since there's so many secondary ticket sale options.

I don't think we have the right personnel for stunts.

Why not? Almost worked for Kramer.

Ok. Time for drastic measures.

Goodell is a toad. I don't particularly like the direction the league is going. A lot of his decision has little to do with honesty and integrity and more to do with sweeping crap under the carpet and saving face. His obsession with growing the league may do more damage than good. The growth in the European markets is about expansion and money in spite of competitive equity. I think it was Pat Kirwan a couple decades ago that wrote about the importance of "winning at home" with respect to making the playoffs. He had some glaring stats to back it up. And Goodell takes away a home game from a handful of teams every year. The gallant history from decades ago has faded. I couldn't imagine watching highlights from today's game narrated by the late John Facenda of NFL films from the 60s and 70s. Just wouldn't fit. Call me old, but that's how I feel.

During this ridiculous Sabres playoff drought, the one main thing that keeps my attention is watching the Bruins and Stars getting bounced. One down, one to go.

What's right with Goodell? He's a poster child for "deadpan."

Anyone see the Dolphin fan look disappointed at the pick and then started cheering when he realized the camera was on him?
