This whole thread seems to have changed quite a bit from last night (at least the OPs OP)...

I might see if he wants to stay in our RV for the Pats game weekend - dude seems like he can handle the drink and obviously he brings the ladies to the table as well! Orton and I will be firing up the grill Sunday morning around 6am!

This seems like the most likely scenario

DOUBLE conspiracy!

With the exception of about 10 teams, EVERYONE'S favorite QB is the back-up - lose a few games and everyone is already for the next guy on the bench...

Trust me it is - great people, awesome contests, they're all a little crazy and definitely like to have way too much fun. Plus some of them make in the millions these days. If only I were younger and, you know, way better at riding my bike, skateboard or snowboard that'd be my career choice. And I'd have fun - no matter what my hometown fans thought of my performance

Just as good a question - how does this thread and several Tanny threads live on, but the "would you wait?" thread gets locked? At least thread that was a different philosophical perspective on QB play... O_o

Yeesh, this thread got crazy... IMO, peple aren't overly critical of EJ becase he's black, they're overly critical because we live in an age where everyone is a critic. What's worse is we live in an age where if something isn't "the best ever" instantly, it completely sucks and has no chance of growing, or growing on you (athletes, music, movies, art, whatever). Fwiw, I've worked with professional action sports athletes for years now - guess what? They tend to get better with a little experience and time to grow. Shaun White wasn't always the best snowboarder in the world, when he first went pro he was just a kid trying to learn his way. Obviously quite different than a high draft pick QB in the NFL, but man, the armchair Internet critics that drone on and on about how they're right, just get old, IMO. Just because EJ isn't great now (or, more to the point, helped do us in last week), doesn't necessarily mean he's terrible or doomed to lifelong failure.

I met Takeo last Thursday in Brooklyn - super cool guy. Big as you would think, he neck really is as big as you would think. Told him I'm a big Bills fan and talked about his last game as a Bengal that he played in Buffalo when the fans started cheering for him. He said "that really made a difference to me!" and went on to talk about how awesome the fans are in Buffalo. Good stuff! Very cool that the OP got to meet Burce and Thurm - true Bills legends!

^ This post for the win! Literally LOL'd.

Looks like that might be the spot - I want to dip to the city, but too many clients at Dew Tour. Of course, a bar only a few blocks away, easily dippable... Anyone in BK today? Let's Go Bills!!

Yes, they're awful, hence us being one of the top scoring teams in the league these first two weeks... http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?tabSeq=2&season=2014&seasonType=REG&offensiveStatisticCategory=GAME_STATS&role=TM&d-447263-n=1&d-447263-o=2&d-447263-p=1&conference=ALL&d-447263-s=TOTAL_POINTS_SCORED

A couple points - this was the regional chain pulling back it's sponsorship, not the full national hotel partner pulling their support. Anyone find it ironic that Budweiser is criticizing the NFL for its handling of its players: http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/nfl-controversy/major-sponsors-turn-heat-nfl-over-handling-abuse-scandal-n204736 A BEER company? Really? Half the abuse in this country probably starts with a bud!

That first sentence is the crux of it all - people are PISSED and something had to be done. Call it bowing to public pressure, etc., but the same thing happens in the private sector all the time. There was a good day-long debate about this on Sirius yesterday during my leisurely 5 hour drive to NYC. Also, it's the Vikings that have put AD on the exempt list, not the NFL so seems a little off-base to blame the NFL / Goodell for this one...

PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE PLAYERS. No suicide wings or fireball for the guys, RVers

This all makes complete sense to me. Approved.

I was thinking the same thing - and four of them were dumb, drunk teenagers. Be smart out there tailgaters (and walkers across streeters)!

lol - they never learn... Dumb thing to say anyway, the Bills going into Chicago on week 1 and winning WAS impressive.

Conspiracy theory FOR the Buffalo Bills.

SO wish I were rolling out of an RV in Buffalo this morning - Go Bills!

There's that guy I was talking about in that other thread! Place looks nice - if I was in that hood, I would eat Momofuku every night! Was just making the Momo pork belly rub for PB sliders I'm making for the game (an app before the Beef on Weck). I end up in the city often for work, if I'm ever in the neighborhood, I'll stop in! Go Bills!

Didn't someone stop by the board to say they were opening a chill little Bills bar in the city? I'll dig around and see if I can find it.... I'm going to be in Brooklyn next weekend (Williamsburg / House of Vans area) - any good spots? Dirck? Northern Territory?

Yes, but he'll have to sell the Bills to Bon Jovi - still, he'll have a cool car... 1) Ralph is cheap!(?) 2) Didn't Mrs. Wilson make enough off the sale of the Bills, just *give* me the car and get it over with Seriously though, cool little story!

Jeremy White's A-22: http://www.wgr550.com/JW-All-22-Review-Bills-Bears/19869992 A lot to like here, let's hope EJ and crew continue to get better. Loved seeding Eric Wood crush Lance Briggs (who had a terrible game). Sunday is going to a pretty amazing atmosphere - Let's Go Buffalo!!

The worst. Don't be afraid to enjoy life a little duder...
