Is she a woman? While you're yelling at YOUR cloud, would you mind getting off my lawn? 🙃 Agreed. Episode one was like a perfectly-baked, French puff pastry shell with a piping hot filling of nothing. And yes, the plot line was suspiciously similar to Navajo creation myth. 🙃

At the risk of incurring your hatred, I hereby nominate you for "The Winner of the Internet" on this day, Thursday, August 7, 2025. Congratulations good Sir! That business having been done, I'll devote the remainder of this post to answering questions arising from this new and confounding NFL policy banning the distribution of "smelling salts" by the clubs. No. NFL coaches are prohibited from vaping while in the playing field area and during television interviews. The NFL's policy states that players and other league employees, including coaches and officials, must not use alcohol or tobacco products (including vaping products) in these specific locations. Yes. Also, the shin bone is connected to the trom bone. Not exactly. "Huffing" is the term used for inhaling chemicals from a cloth and this dangerous practice requires no "hidden pockets." Going forward, huffing will likely be the method of choice for NFL players (and Adam Gase) when dosing ammonia. Possibly. The effects of smelling salts (ammonia) on the spleen is not a well-researched area, therefore pathologists are hesitant to link ammonia exposure to splenic disorders although some research has shown a correlation with hyperammonemia and splenomagaly. No. See below. Yes. While there's sure to be a workaround for taking smelling salts (see "huffing"' above), it's unlikely to involve the blue medical tent. At the risk of getting @machine gun kelly aroused, the tent (and its associated poles) is only erected for medical examinations/concerns... such as for a spleen palpation or to treat an overdose of sildenafil, for instance. No. NFL rules state that league-approved energy drinks be either ingested from league-approved cups or administered intravenously by a licensed physician. Yes. In cases where a player is suspected of violating the prohibition on ammonia, NFL medical protocols require that either the back judge or the side judge take a swab of the suspected player's armpit to be used in a hypernatremia test. A blood serum sample may also be taken in cases where hypernatremia is indicated or suspected. On the discussion of janitors (and more generally workers) and ammonia, it's well-known among scholars of the industrial revolutions that ammonia was pumped into the ventilation duct work of factories and mills in order to increase worker productivity. Forensic pathologists in conjunction with forensic anthropologists examining the exhumed remains of 19th-century wool-spinning workers in Northern Wales have not proven a link between chronic ammonia exposure and splenal disorders. I hope this post clarifies some of your questions.

Good graphic and thanks for posting. The QB that seems the most out of order to me is Bryce Young. I think he should be lower down.

The Dion Dawkins/drift car as a "kids activity" aspect (deep sigh)... so much to unpack there so I won't.

Yes, I would describe the first episode as puffy and fluffy... like a pregnancy pillow... of course I love all things blue and red. One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is McDermott's opening remarks before the team's first practice... extremely cringeworthy... "you have my permission to fail?" I know what he was trying to say but man, some people simply can't expound. If the producers were trying to put him in a good light, he must have given them zero to work with. Two schools of thought on the subject of wind and QBs: 1) The QB with the stronger arm and tighter spiral has an advantage in high winds. 2) High winds level the playing field and take the advantage away from elite passers. I'm more in school 2 than 1. I Googled Andre Reed + snake and they wanted me to sign up for an OnlyFans site called Kutztown Cuts. For some reason I thought Liev Schrieber was a woman. Please tell me I'm wrong. Good point. A surprise to me was that Keon wasn't one of the featured personalities in episode one. If I was a betting man that's where my money would have been.

Don't forget Micah Parsons! What a lot of the others continue to forget/ignore/didn't know is that Josh has a lot at stake in seeing Keon succeed. Josh had significant input in the draft selection of Keon. If you're a wide receiver and your QB is one of the greatest in the game and wants you to succeed...

Your's is one of the few posts I wholeheartedly agree with in this topic. That said, it's kind of hilarious that you espouse these opinions and that your handle is BigDingus. I would have thought you'd be in favor of the throwing of the sex toy.

I'm seeing where some are treating this scenario like any given Sunday or at most, like any other Bills game. But it's not. The OP asked what you would do if the Bills were in the Super Bowl. Treating it like any other game would be highly underwhelming to put it nicely. There is a collective spirit on such occasions that any true fan would feel compelled and duty-bound to be a part of. It goes beyond settling for your comfort zone. If you didn't have the means to attend the Super Bowl, make it to Buffalo, or pilgrim to the host city, you should minimally congregate with other Bills fans in the best way you can. I've had a few unforgettably joyous experiences watching Bills playoff games in sports bars far from home. I've met fellow Bills fans that I still stay in contact with even though we were only in each others' companies for a short while, many years and many miles ago.

Because the glass is half full. Aren't you an Oblivious Olivia... Oh. A Carefree Kerry. We have ourselves a Patient Agent! It sure would, Wishful Trisha... So true, Optimistic Oscar!

I wonder if Shaq is willing, able, and slotted to play special teams. Dude is like a ghost of a player.

The two plays that were uncannily similar... Josh running around forever extending the play and finally heaving a catchable but underthrown ball that most tight ends would catch... but that both Clay and Kincaid dropped. Maybe we should call those two companion pieces, the "Kin-Clay."

Charles Clay with the "pre-Kincaid."

No one's mentioned it in this topic so it bears mention that if the above list is accurate, Taylor Rapp is back practicing. The Bills under McBeane have always been very cautious about injuries during training camp and preseason. My guess is that the majority of the players on the list are being held out as precautionary moves. It is funny and painful seeing all the posters here freaking out AND criticizing the training staff.

BTW, is your avatar Mike Holmes? I liked that guy.

Or in the immortal words of Sam Wyche, "You don't live in Cleveland!"

You don't look like a numbers nerd... you actually look kind of like a knucklehead. 😆

I heard this morning that they can't find a helmet to fit Bayer's size 9.5" skull and he's out with migraine headaches. Just looking at the photo you can feel the pain he's in.

Like most, I'm not concerned with Shakir because he and Josh have a proven rapport but it's tough that the WRs that Josh needs most to develop chemistry with (Samuel, Palmer, and Moore) have all missed some practice time. Analogously, Hairston and Bishop are out in the defensive backfield. NFL teams use GPS and RFID technology during practices to track the distance and speeds the players run. I know these are running positions and that the team has to get into football shape and I know these injuries happen every year but I hope to some degree that the Bills modify their practice regimen. I'm probably overly concerned but I'd hate to see any more injuries at WR or DB. Oh man... these injuries are giving me a headache...

Thinking about the opening day roster, I'm gonna double down on my earlier post about the returners position having a trickle down effect. Besides determining who the returners are, the Bills lost 2 Core 4 Special teamers in Mack Hollins and Quintin Morris. I think there are gonna be mildly surprising roster decisions based on who's playing special teams.

What kind of person who for no good reason, refers to a player as a loser? Shavers was an undrafted free agent who's entering his 3rd NFL season. He's made $850,000 in his career. What is your definition of loser?

Before The Chroise, there was The Croise!!! Well done, Sir! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1879201488/ref=x_gr_bb_amazon?ie=UTF8&tag=x_gr_bb_amazon-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1879201488&SubscriptionId=1MGPYB6YW3HWK55XCGG2

It's VERY hard for someone who hasn't grown up playing American football to make the NFL. https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/american-football/six-rugby-players-who-switched-to-the-nfl-and-how-they-fared/tcvfdk7qtgdz12eyu70gziah0 I highly doubt that Travis Clayton ever plays a down in the NFL regular season.

Have a Marv-elous Birthday Coach!!! Happy Hundredth!!!

Yeah, just bored and messing around. Sorry!
