dollars 2 donuts

Are they still that high today if they had picked the other Josh?

That is the 2021 value of Jim Kelly’s NFL record setting 1986 7.5 million dollar contract when he first came to the Bills. Crazy, huh? We are not even talking about an inflationary change, but rather exponential change in the value of a product over time that just could not have been foreseen. if I could go back in time, and meet up with Jim Kelly before he signed that deal in 1986, I would be like… “Jim, good tidings. I am here from the future to guide you on your contract.” Jim: “Why are you wearing a sparkling coat, weird tie and crazy sunglasses?” Me: “I am trying to channel my inner Rufus from the movie Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.” Jim: “What movie is that?” keep up because you are a moron if you don’t know by now who is talking in this back and forth: “We really don’t have time for this right now and I should have thought about it further…like maybe a long scarf and oversized fedora and coming out of a police Bobby box. You need to ask for more money. A lot more.” ”How much?” ”whoa, I mean given the 2021 value of the league and tv contracts going into the future, the value of the deal a young man you will meet in the future but who hasn’t even been born yet is going to be worth, in your dollars…a little north of $104,000,000.” ”…middle-aged bald slightly heavy set man, I am going to drink my can of Teem, finish my fondu for lunch and then I am going to kick your ass if you don’t leave here right now.” At which time I will go see my parents from afar, who were still alive at the time and try and find away to warn them about cancer and leukemia…let’s be honest that should probably be my first stop. All that aside..whew, the times they are a changin’, amirite?

Man, Virg…GG’s back patio on a nice Friday evening. 😍 I am envious. Enjoy, buddy.

Nicely said, Guns. A man who is among the top QBs in this Franchise's history (8th in TD passes and yards thrown...30 games, mind you, and highest career winning percentage for any Bills QB starting at least 16 games) deserves to be around a bit more and get a bit more praise.

You know for all the BS back and forth during the period of "Flute-Johnson?", Doug was 21-9 as the starter for this team. Man, you just can't shake a stick at that, really. I know he has talked more recently about the Bills, but I just wish that relationship, between him and the franchise, was a little bit closer. I know he is a Boston guy, and I know what he did in the CFL, but his greatest NFL success was with us.

Alpha in midseason form. Nicely done, Sir.

You know what 716, back to the original topic on hand I guess my problem is, and believe me I know it goes by star player ratings, but this Buffalo team is as good or better than the team that went 13-3, arguably tied for 2nd overall in the League. That's what's annoying. Cleveland can be good and Dallas can be good, but man they should not necessarily be breathing our air right now. Buffalo, in its entire madden history was usually scored consistent with what they did the year before. No projection at all. I know the conversation would never go like this and this is an oversimplification, but I can't imagine it would go in the drawing board room at EA like, "The BIlls were an 83 last year, but whoa nelly, look out for them this year...90!" ...but apparently this happens easily with other teams.

May I please not?

No...no, no, no, no...😅 well...I mean...should I?

Have you seen its scores...jeepers creepers even at a discount, no thank you.

Royalita with Cheese...mmm, cheese. Wow, if you think it reads creepy you should have heard me when I said it out loud in my office just now while using my "Rico Suave" voice.

It stinks, but it still says hi.

Right? When I saw that earlier and then saw what other teams had it was like they gave us spatula at a gun fight.

New Era, you're making it sound like destroying all competition has made this sim game worse...that can't be true. ...just not a smart move by the league. How great it might still be if there were two options.

Boy, New Era, If we could just play 2k5 on current gen..yeah, I went here.

Oh, you think Madden is silly as you prep for jumping through a picnic table after spraying ketchup on yourself? Please, I'm sorry then as I don't want to insult your sensibilities...Still posting it, though, so maybe you can hold your nose if you feel like going through this, if for no other reason then to just say you read the ratings before posting your disdain and/or total lack of interest for a game you came in to post about. https://realsport101.com/madden/madden-22-best-teams-ratings-highest-rated-team-buccaneers-chiefs-packers-ravens Top 10: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 92 OVR Kansas City Chiefs, 90 OVR Green Bay Packers, 89 OVR Baltimore Ravens, 88 OVR Cleveland Browns, 87 OVR Buffalo Bills, 86 OVR Dallas Cowboys, 86 OVR Arizona Cardinals, 85 OVR Tennessee Titans, 85 OVR Los Angeles Chargers, 84 OVR I am the guy who stated that I thought Cleveland was a better team than ours, overall,...that said this still sucks., especially given their schedule last year. It is one thing for me to say it on a Board and another for someone to say, "What the heck, sounds good, book it!" in the primary simulation of the League that millions will play. ...Jerks. Worse...Dallas...Dallas? Really?! We are hanging out in the same vicinity as the Cowboys? They were really only bad after Dak got hurt?! 🙄 I am an extremely passive individual who loves animals and tasty meals that usually involve a sauce of some sort. However, I am willing to pull up these sleeveless sleeves and fight any game developer over at EA Tiburon to defend the honor of my...for now...local football team. I would ask for 2nds and 3rds (not food, but back-ups) from this Board on this endeavor, but let's be honest I am not that popular around here and the lack of support would be...awkward. GO BILLS!

What the hell did I just see? ...but besides that...what the hell did I just see?

Sweet, I have a child going into 1st grade. The deal has got to be like 1/9th!

See what happens when you have a cannon for an arm?! Poor guy. Get well soon, Rocket.

What changed in 1973 that made you become a Bills fan? Was it 2,000 yards? Was it OJ? it was OJ, wasn’t it? I knew it was The Juice.

F’n Beasley’s fault!

You had me at mimosas and eating breakfast tacos. If only we had those things here. 😩

Is this the wrong time to bring up the fact that Austin is a great town? The music and the food alone will knock your socks off.

I never…NEVER tire of good Ertz quips. Thank, RC. As always, thank you. Tyler Gauthier sounds like a cheap knock off purse you bought your wife at NOCO for your anniversary that you just remembered on your way home from work. …please pick up two and I will pay you back next week.

I was going to bring up Alice to, BB. that, and other things, have proof to make his life a remarkable turn around. Not the least of which, is that he’s now a person of faith. I’m not judging anyone who doesn’t believe, but I know it has helped Alice out.
