Those were Christian Wilkins' exact words!

Yes, but while it lasted it was a fountain of mirth in an endless desert of grimness.

I'm guessing you didn't see Christian Wilkins there.

I saw the words "serial-butt-sniffer-arrested" and decided not to click your link. 😀 To the bolded... is this a clinical term or possibly part of our nation's penal code? You must be talking about the "double A-gap blitz."

Or asked his teammate's father's permission.

It seems like you're on the brink of being insubordinate... One more time... DO NOT FREAK OUT. Thank you. I feel much better now... I'm thinking his 'stache is a bad look... but I'm not gonna be the one to tell him. Anyways, our long, national nightmare is over...

He was athletically underrated entering the draft. His RAS places him in the 82nd percentile and his 10 yard split and size is elite.

Of course Sanders' draft position and credentials make it clear that the expectation is that someday he's going to be a starter. When I say it's premature to say "Sanders is fighting to be the starter," I'm obviously referring to the timeline. The question then becomes, when do you envision him being a starter?

Great stuff... thanks for posting!!!

And he also has pelvic issues... though his are psychological.

While he was in Buffalo during the offseason he had ethnic modification surgery and also, a splenectomy. That's similar to McDermott's workout.

Did they have you arrested?

We're splitting hairs here and your implied point about the depth chart is true... but it's premature to say that Sanders is fighting to be a starter. Yes. It's impossible to have a daily training camp report that doesn't heavily address injuries. Unrealistic at best. Two things this brought to mind... 1) wives of pro athletes should NEVER post stuff on social media. 99% of the time it has a negative impact... specifically with the employer. 2) I realize he's an O-lineman but that is not a hard body. Yes, the edge rushers who've been getting the most buzz are Javon Solomon and undrafted free agent Paris Shand.

I thought we all agreed that the Sabres second generation logos sucked.

I have it on good authority that it was a splenectomy. p.s. - you guys are slipping...

Much appreciated Astro!!!

I recall now from past posts what happened to your Dad. I can't imagine how that makes you feel and I empathize that you'll never be able to forget the trauma, horror and sadness... nor should you be asked to. As much as a person can who has not experienced what you have, I understand your revulsion towards OJ and others who have committed murder. I respect greatly that you have been able to find peace, happiness, and success in life in spite of what happened to your family. Others here have articulated very well the conundrum of having their greatest childhood hero revealed as a murderer and the angst and sadness that has caused us. It can't compare to your loss but many old time Bills fans like myself have had a large part of our fondest and most treasured childhood memories destroyed by his unforgivable act. I am not celebrating OJ Simpson but simply reciting historical facts and the recollections of his career as seen through the eyes of a boy.

I was thinking the Jets would start with an offer of their 1st and 2nd round picks for the next 5 years. And McBeane would just laugh and hang up.

No, I'm pretty sure I understand that you think we would have gone farther with the Lions 12th pick overall in 2023 as opposed to our 63rd pick overall in 2022. It's hard to argue with that logic.

We would have made it farther with the Lions 2023 1st round pick instead of our own 2022 2nd round pick. Got it.

@AlCowlingsTaxiService Yes, in two consecutive snowy weeks in December of 1973 he made history. I was 12 years old at the time. In week 13 he rushed for 219 yards against the Patriots and then in week 14 he rushed for 200 yards against the Jets, breaking Jim Brown's NFL record of 1863 yards in a season and eclipsing 2000 yards... a feat never performed before and never matched again in a 14 game season. It was also the first time ever that a player had run for at least 200 yards in consecutive games. The only other time that has been done was by OJ in 1976. When he broke the record, he was hoisted on to the shoulders of his teammates with whom he was beloved. After the game he agreed to a TV interview only after the network let him bring the entire offensive unit on camera... where he introduced each one of them by name. A few weeks later he gave each of his teammates a gold bracelet engraved with "We Did It 3088" which was the total yards that the offense gained that year... not his own yardage total which was 2003 yards rushing and 70 yards passing for 2073 yards (63% of the team's offense). He was the first humble sports superstar of his era and by far my biggest childhood hero. Gilbert Perreault was a distant second. I met OJ and Reggie McKenzie at the Friendly's Ice Cream shop on Maple Road in Amherst. He signed autographs for me and my buddy. He was very nice. I remember seeing all of the astroturf burns all over his hands and forearms. OJ famously wore no arm protection when playing... he said that by keeping his arms bare that he could "feel" tacklers even when he couldn't see them. I still consider him the greatest running back of all time and the greatest Buffalo Bills player of all time.

We wouldn't have made it as far as we did without Cook. We might have gone farther had he played more. I could see Knox taking less to stay.

Pedigree is also just a fancy way of saying DNA. Yes, he's a very stubborn young man... very unpleasant. Hail to the Victors!!!
