This is one of those instances I feel strongly it is appropriate to start a new thread when the topic goes from speculation to actual closure. I hate having to go back pages in a thread and find when the new development broke.

- How much weight have you lost I'm down 50 lbs or so. the first 20 came off quick and the next 30 or so I had to work for. Now I'm having to get all my clothes tailored - Neck injury Got my first stinger of my life this year in week 5 against the Bengals and got another one the following week. We didn't think anything of it - I got an X-ray that checked out pretty well, I just went on playing. I got a bunch more stingers as the season went on - which is pretty common among football players. After the season my wife was due with our second child and I said I've got to get out of here - rush me through my end of year physical and clear me for the Pro Bowl and let's go. And they said well let's talk about that neck a little more - so they talked me into getting an MRI on the way out of town. An hour before my son was born I get the call that my career was over. At that point you start going hey, we'll reach out for more opinions and we'll see and he said Eric we've already reached out for opinions but you're welcome to - so we did, and any surgery that would have taken the disk off my spinal cord would have also made me not pass a physical again, which essentially ended my career - How are you processing now that some time has passed I'm all right. It feels weird not prepping for training camp, and it feels weird scheduling things past the middle of July. Usually that's a shut down date - July 20th get ready to drive up to Buffalo and get ready for the season. It's different - there are days I feel some anxiety like man I should be doing something, I should be prepping to play ball. That's all I've worked for the last 14-15 years. But I'm enjoying more time with family. We have two young kids like I said, so I'm enjoying this time because at some point I'm going to be working and I'm going to wish I cherished these days probably a little more - Bills fans They made a name for themselves. Social media has amped it up, and now it's become a competition like what next can we do - they're getting lit on fire and jumping through tables I mean it's insane. But they're also passionate, they stand behind us, they stood behind us all the way through that drought. And nothing will probably stand out to me more than when we came back from Miami on New Year's eve and they ditch their plans and wait in the freezing cold for our plane to come in to give us a cheer when we come off the plane. And when I say freezing I mean freezing temperatures and snowing and their standing out there just to welcome us back. Wild and crazy but also extremely passionate. You've seen what they did for Dalton's foundation - they've been extremely supportive of what I've done over the years. They're a great group of people - they like to have fun up there too. - Kyle Williams TD It was awesome. That was a play we literally ran one time during a walk through. Never rehearsed. That game wasn't completely out of hand, not like it was a token play in a blow out game. Luckily the Dline ran an out charge and me and Richie fall on our face and Kyle just kind of falls over the top of us and it works out perfect. To end the drought and have so much fun doing it and with that group of guys was so special. I had nightmares of playing my whole career in Buffalo and never making the playoffs. that's part of the reason I signed before the eaon last year as opposed to hitting free agency for the first time in my career was because I couldn't move on from Buffalo and not end that drought. - Eric Wood foudation Will keep it in Buffalo and keep it going Good (but quick) interview. Surprised they waited until after the season to order the MRI - not sure if that will undergo any scrutiny

When we played street football when I was a kid, when we tried to stretch out over the curb and and tap our toes to catch a pass, we'd yell "Bobby Chandler!" if we were able to lay out and make the catch

Years ago there used to be a very compelling video on youtube a private investigator made going through all the points of why it was Jason. I can never find it anymore. I believe OJ was at the scene - but during/after Jason butchered them - which is why there is also evidence tying OJ to the scene

Yup - his son did it

I imagine it was lent to "them" - one of the reports mentioned Shady saying people loaned them jewelry for events. I'm sure regardless of if it was for her specifically to wear, Shady felt (or was) responsible for getting the jewelry back to whoever loaned it. Edit: I'm referring to why Shady would generally care about the jewelry getting back to the owner - and agree that it would not be a reason for him to hire someone to retrieve it - if anything it supports the theory that someone else knew about it and decided to take it for themselves

Beane should have seen this coming and traded his entire draft for Saquon - asleep at the wheel

More parallels with OJ - I still believe OJ's son did it

Man, if Beane somehow knew about this and still had the cojones to not blink and push back on Jags for conditional 5th instead of just 6th - wow. https://wgr550.radio.com/articles/news/art-deal

It all comes down to whether Shady ordered the code red. Who can handle the truth

You have to be a female only to attend one of his private event celebrations

In the late 90s I lived across from a golf course that hosted a celeb tourn for the Jimmy V Foundation. Late in the day I noticed that James Lofton was in a group, and decided (inexplicably) to run home and get a camera to get a picture with him. The temp was over 90 degrees, and I soon realized the distance was much longer from that hole than I estimated. By the time I made it back I was soaked in sweat and could barely breathe. As I approached Lofton I'll never forget the alarmed look on his face as this crazy sweaty person with heaving breathing approached him. It got even worse when I tried to blurt out some incomprehensible ImabillsfanIusedtowatchyouatrichstadiumthoseweresomegreatdaysGoBills blather. He was very nice though and took the picture - to this day I'm not sure if he thought I was a slow adult.

This was the other Cleveland game (besides the infamous 6-3 game) I was thinking of (I think you actually identified the actual game for me the last time there was a thread on this subject). . I don't think I've ever been so cold - shivering on a cold steel bench with my feet on ice. For years and years it was a running joke with my brother whenever something was bad - "As bad as the Cleveland game?" At least I didn't cry (not on the outside anyway). What a great date for that girl

I used to have a borderline irrational hatred for Coy Wire. I hated (hated) he had so many fans but he sucked SO BAD. I used to just isolate on him at games and just watch him run around clueless like a steroided chicken with his head cut off - always (always) out of position. But he could jump out of the shallow end of a pool ...

This. This subject comes up periodically - and this "game" is head and shoulders below all the rest. Flying in, we just found out our kids had swine flu. My son went to the game anyway - and he (also) remembers it as one of the worst experiences of his life. We had the worst seats I ever had at a game (top corner upper deck) - with the bitter cold wind just cutting into your bones. I just remember sitting there wishing over and over for it to be over. The only interesting thing that happened was a drunk tripping while running down the stairs and going full superman airborne right in front of us about 20 rows - had to be a world record. Can't believe the guy didn't die. All who attended died a little that day. There was another horrible Cleveland game in the mid-80s I think that was the only rival - freezing cold with rain - I was literally shivering the whole 2nd half thinking WTF am I doing?

You'd need a quantum computer to calculate all the permutations of Bills starting QBs and their college RBs over the last 17 years

Bills Beat Deep

Slightly off topic but the greatest nickname in all of sports - "The Great One"

Bills Run Deep

That's all great - but how do we get rid of the train horn?

Too bad we don't have sigs anymore

Josh Allen is really growing on me more and more
