    But, I will also refer to them as the Redskins when talking about them when that was their name. It, to me, is no different than saying the Bills had the greatest comeback against the Houston Oilers, and not saying the Houston Texans.

     

     

     

     

    Only issue I have with your take is that the Houston Oilers and the Houston Texans are completely unrelated franchises.

    In presenting a game, showing highlights, and talking about player’s performances/potential... there doesn’t need to be any politics. Just saying that everyone does it, so we should inject our point of view, is malarkey. 

    Yikes... are you looking for a sympathetic shoulder?!

     

    No.  If I was looking for a sympathetic shoulder I wouldn't have joined.  So we're clear.

     

    Whatever is stuck in your craw: post it.  Or start a thread in PPP.  If it's so bad that you know that you would get banned, then that's your answer.

    I would like to post on this thread with stats and facts, but I am afraid I will get banned. Can this thread be moved to the PPP for all to engage in in-depth dialogue?

     

    Why not just post stats then and let people draw their own conclusions?  I've seen PPP a couple of times, but *shudder*.

  4. Times were simpler when I just came home from work after having finished second shift, with a full head of hair, cracked a beer, and watched Gary Cochran deliver an informercial (I mistook it for a sitcom at first) about "direct marketing".  I used to follow up these informercials by watching re-runs of WKRP in Cincinnati on the VCR.  It cleansed the palate.  Really.

     

    I think that Gary also did one about dog walking.  Who bought that *****?!  In any case, assuming that he doesn't end up on NFL or on ESPN, Tom Brady will be the next pitch/marketing person like Peyton Manning.  I kinda hate it, and yet I want to see it.  Maybe he knows how to walk dogs?  You just can't say.

  5. I don't get the love for Wade.  I really don't.  Unless he's lights out during TC (assuming there is one) and during games, I find it hard to believe that he's going to stick.  He's like the Da'Rick Rogers (a "diamond in the rough" WR pickup if I recall) of RBs.

     

    It would seem that the Bills finally have the luxury to pick their spots, and I would be absolutely astounded if Wade was one of them.

    And? He performed when he was on the field.... Then enter McDermott, and he didn’t want to put up with his ***** up mentality. So he shipped him off and many Bills fans have hated him since. 

     

    If memory serves, and maybe I'm getting old, but many people hated Watkins immediately upon having been drafted.  Same with Manuel.  Actually, same with Dareus now that I think about it.  I have never exactly gotten the player hate aspect, but I do get the frustration around a team who for decades kept trying to punch its own dick off before any actual games were played.

  7. My sister is friends with and went to school with (former, now retired) special teams ace, Mike Leach (TN, Chicago, Denver, Cards), and I've chatted with him on a couple of occasions.  Super nice guy.  Super intense.  And I've never seen such natural and freakish athletic ability up close until I met him.

     

    So here's where this gets back on point: ol' Maurice was not well regarded in Denver and showed up to camp with "problems" that were interpreted to be booze and other substance abuse issues.  Leach didn't get into details but there was a lot of eye rolling on his part.  He did say that he and most of the team knew that the guy wasn't going to make it.

    Did he have Stromboli?  Mead in a spandex speedo  (I am an expert in spandex seeing my wife work on swimsuits for several SI Swimsuit cover models) with a Stromboli logo and big ass cape.

    Jack has eaten his stromboli, if you know what I mean.

     

    As a WNY native, I must admit that even after having gone to St Joe's for high school -- I have literally never heard the stromboli reference until now.  I am having trouble typing this as I am laughing so hard.

    There will never be one as good as Groin.

    This is a tribute to a guy who used the nickname of bigmacturdsplash on a mailing list for the Ruby programming language.  When they first appeared I was like, "ah, *****, this going going to be terrible," but then they turned out to be quite affable.  And helpful.  Pay it forward, bro.  I'm livin' free and/or dyin' tryin'.  ?

    One weekend, I was up for a Bills game and me and my friend went to Niagara Falls and crossed into Canada. I wore that shirt and people were appalled. People kept stopping me telling me how it’s one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Nobody up there understood what it was about. They just kept telling me how great of a city Boston was lol. your post just reminded me of that and how tiring it was to try and explain it to Canadians. Eventually I just gave up and acted like I didn’t realize they were talking to me 

     

    So I guess I have to ask why you didn't consider taking a trip to Boston and vetting out your strategy of bringing discord -- by wearing your shirt there?

     

    After graduating from UB I chose Boston over NYC or California (I work in tech).  NYC is too big for my tastes, as someone who was born and raised in the smaller communities of WNY.  California is far too expensive.

     

    People from New England are totally fine, and once you chip through layers of crust you have friends for life.  Boston is a great city, oh, and these days when I'm in the city I come across more people who are not from New England than those who are from New England.  It's gentrified now, and has been for almost the last 15 years.  Having written that, everybody I know who's a native New Englander knows that I'm a Bills' fan and gives me ***** about it.  Everybody.  And their brutal honesty and ribbing about following the Bills is like how any healthy friendship goes.

     

    But you do you.

  11. There are two teams who I am obsessed about this year, well, outside of the Bills.

     

    First is NE.  I really can't convince the OP that they will be good.  Could they be good like the 2008 squad?  Could they go 11-5 again?  Sure.  I have no idea how the QB situation will shake out, they seem to have shed talent, I have no clue about how their draft/FA will play out, and it could turn out like the 1997 Bills.  Or maybe it turns out for Belichick like the year (1993?) he benched Kozar for Testaverde.  Or maybe the 1995 squad.  You never know.

     

    Second is TB.  Brady there with Gronk would seem like a no brainer, in particular when paired with a coach I really like in Arians.  Still, I don't think that either guy has the goods anymore.  Time will tell.

  12. My preference is for the team to not recycle players.  Plus Karlos has practically no track record in the league -- outside of working himself out of it.  There's no need to bring him in.  This is a team on the rise and everybody knows it.  Look forward, and don't hope for what might have been.

    Unfortunately there will be a team that’s dumb enough to give him what he wants and immediately will allow him to put them in salary cap hell. You can’t build a team when your QB makes 35 mil+ a year. Dak is being greedy and is thinking more about himself than the team. Jones won’t put up with his BS much longer

     

    Jerry Jones has had decades to bring a championship back to Dallas, and has shown loyalty before business sense more times than I can count.  Here are the top 3 off the top of my head.

    1. Jason Garrett.  Enough said.
    2. Dave Campo had no business being HC in the NFL.  He was HC for 3 years of the Cowboys.
    3. Tony Romo outlived what he could do at the position and he was still extended.

    So I agree with you that overpaying a QB will put the team in salary cap hell, and when you look at teams who are in salary cap hell, the majority of them have overpaid QBs.  But we're talking about the Cowboys here.

  14. Either 1987 (they were supposed to be good that year then strike plus other stuff meant for yet another disappointing season) or 2004.  In 2004, I remember watching the opener against Jacksonville @ The Harp in Boston, and wondered if the team had squandered an opportunity on that day.

     

    Sections of the highway 93 were being abated with a torch and claw hammer and were falling to the ground, if memory serves, because the Big Dig was nearing completion, and would make a huge thud as they fell into a dump truck, parts onto the pavement, etc., on that day.  Watching that distracted from yet another completely underwhelming effort from this team.
