dollars 2 donuts

I'd like to congratulate Shady for preventing this thread from reaching 200 pages. His side diffused things early with the way they handled themselves. Her side did too, but not really the way they wanted.

Man, not to get political, but I honestly don't know how with the above, and with respect to the Sheldon Silver thing a few years ago (a State wide investigation when once it got to Silver the Governor just shut it down), that the Governor just sort of gets to skate by on these things. Honestly, I am not talking a Republican or Democrat thing, or even a Conservative or Liberal issue. It is a "How is no one in this State, media wise, pointing the finger at you with some of what is going on" thing. That aside, yeah, we aren't really going to get nor should we expect a lot from the State.

OT, I gotta tell you, as time goes by I am becoming more and more comfortable with keeping the team in OP. Especially when you consider the facilities the team has there, and are building for the future. Administration area, large store, stadium field, 2(?) grass fields, a full indoor field and a soon to be new training facility.

Yeah, very much this. Additionally, I love ripping on Russ Brandon as much as the next Board Member. However, he did play a good sized role in helping us become more regionalized, which is important for the franchise's fan base and attendance, and even to the league itself. How many talking head gutter snipes over the years took shots at this team, this City and this organization over attendance and ticket prices? A lot. The attendance one being difficult to swallow as other teams were selling out, but giving game day tickets away and having a lower actual attendance then us...like a particular South Florida team whose mascot is an aquatic mammal...or they just plain covered seats for years (go ahead and roar on that one North Florida cats).

No way, on this day, can we leave this out.

For years my back and knee problems (I believe) can be traced to being flat footed. I wear inserts, but still. I have only seen recently that there are some exercises that can help strengthen the support of your arch. This is good stuff.

You are wise. I agree. Additionally, what are we spending on these guys, 11 million total? yeah, I'll lose a pretty good up back on punts to keep an extra qb around.

I actually thought we were were going to win when we were up 13-6 after halftime and driving down the field against the Cowboys. I... I...actually thought we were going to win.

True Paul. However, this is the second year in a row of him being rock solid during the times that he needs to be rock solid to make the team. Does he need a third year before saying he is ready to get on the field?

I bet you think you know stuff, huh? ...it would be a good bet, because your post just sort of explains everything, with eball's post being an appropriate chaser to it. BTW, respectfully to the OP I am going to go out on a limb and say the difference between the Pats and Bills might be Tom Brady...don't quote me on that, though.

Are we sure about that? Joe seemed pretty non-committal. ?

Seriously, man, I can't believe how much I am looking forward to preseason.

Yes, but a little bit more "Murdery" than GF2. Have you ever heard De Niro sing "Fernando"? It's a delight.

Corner, is it possible that among this group we may end up letting a guy go that we would end up regretting later? I just have this feeling that one of them, whoever he is, when he goes is going to turn out to be something reasonably special. I like this group a lot. I am not picking them for my MUT, mind you, but I like them.

I am still chuckling quite a bit, JF...so much win up there. If you started quoting Mama Mia 2 there are some around here who would consider you...a word I don't like to throw around too easily...a hero. I wouldn't be one of them, but come one there has to be a couple. We have a lot of members.

Well then, I feel pride in my response! Thank you, Royale. ...and WTH, "I officially 'un-damn' you with this post!"

Damn you, Royale. I can usually track where you're going, even with your more esoteric posts, but I am a little lost here. Do you mean something as simple as be cool?

Well put, SD. You have my reguards.

Indeed, Sir! ...not going to lie, though. I do like the fact that, tv schedule wise, there is SOME interest in Buffalo, even if it is just over a potential showdown during the preseason between the 1st and 7th pick overall.

Well, I am at least willing to foment for a moment for a mentor, but that's it.

Jay, and we are all a calm and cool bunch in the off season? We have 58 pages about Nathan Peterman starting game one.

Please let the Browns beat the Giants next Thursday. I don't want to go through the stupid comments online and on the radio should you the Bills lose to them and that it is their first win since August of 2017.

Agreed. When I look at the Bills I can't think of any positions screaming more for help than our DBs. EDIT: As this is starting to become an issue, I'm being sarcastic. I thought that was apparent. Our DBs were great last year and should be just as strong or better this year. Obviously that wasn't clear enough, although I easily thought it would. My apologies for expecting too much.
