huSh brothers is good.

At this point, that is perhaps the most likely chance, though neither Edwards nor Bates seems like a strong RT alternative to me. It's still possible somebody gets cut that can be brought in as competition or that Doyle recovers from injury and ends up a viable alternative. Maybe the UDFA Gouraige that played with Torrence is a nice surprise. Someone mentioned bringing in Cameron Fleming who is still a FA. To me, not bringing in someone as better competition for Brown is hubris, nearly inexplicable, the one glaring weakness in an otherwise strong offseason for Beane -- and naturally, I hope Brown turns the corner and is great.

I definitely had heard of him. I saw a number of Tulane games because I have a soft spot for the Green Wave. In addition, he was always sticking out as the best available on way too many mock draft simulations that I ran. After a while, I got annoyed and just ignored him, but I guess Beane decided to go ahead and take him anyway. On this board, the selection was initially met with almost universal disdain as a repeat of the Bernard pick. There was a corrective swing of the pendulum. Maybe it's gone too far, but I think he has a chance to develop into a good player. At minimum, I think he sees the field in some capacity.

I personally hope Morse has a few years left in him, but that's a plausible take.

They certainly spent money on McGovern as if they have him evaluated a lot higher than you have. If he is the player you think, why sign him at all when you already have Bates on the team? I don't claim to be an expert, certainly not with regards to olinemen who one typically notices more often than not when they fail which has to be a miserable aspect of the position. I normally rely on @MrEpsYtown and @GunnerBill for establishing a baseline for my own amateur judgments. My guess has been that McGovern is a capable starter type by their lights with better pass protection capacity than Saffold which is not a hard bar to beat. I'm willing to wait and see if they are right.

Context matters. It's Kentucky Mardi Gras.

Ah, you Raskolnikov, you!

I mostly pay attention to Charlie Campbell.

Well done. You're definitely an all-star on this board in my book. Folks make fun of Walterfootball, but they're not bad even though it is a terrible website.

RT and Edge worry me more than MLB. Somehow I think they are going to scheme the LB situation into something reasonably effective. And I suspect Von comes back relatively early and plays well, but one can't know that I suppose.

Hey! I mean really. I did write a dissertation on Dostoevsky. Just because Russian novels are long, that's just a coincidence.

Well, I just perused a few to get a sense of your oeuvre. It appears pretty eclectic. I must say my sister owns several peacock and the great Flannery O'Connor did as well. I'll have to ask sister if they are as annoying as you say.

In retrospect it can all appear an utterly foolish dream, but I still understand the kind of romantic idealism that caused that journey in the first place. More often than not it hides under the guise of bitterness, alas. American pragmatism doesn't see the point of it. Anyway, be well fellow sufferer, and yes, let's go Buffalo!

Leonardo Dicaprio agrees.

I'm not certain that you are properly discerning my meaning. If you want to spend time searching this site, just in the last day or so I wrote a rather lengthy exposition of problems with Ken Dorsey's first year as OC. Essentially, I agree that he is doubtfully incompetent, but has a ton of room to grow. I think he'll get there, but I don't have certitude. The sad hats are for those who disliked paying up to be able to draft Kincaid. Since you seem to believe Kincaid was a great pick, I don't think you own one. Those who do are welcome to keep that hat. I don't think it's a good look, but tastes differ.

The bumblebees? No, I think corta765's subtle suggestion might actually work. That's why I'd like to see a mock up. I can easily imagine the loud, so awful some folks find it endearing the way camp scifi is both wretched and weirdly watchable. Nonetheless, I am opposed to that.

I'd like to see a mock up of that. There must be some clever computer folks that could create a simulacrum.

I understand. I am ambivalent myself, but if you are looking for where they could find money, that is one of the places and I am speculating they have a higher opinion of Oliver than most fans.

I think both the Sabres' and current Bills' uniforms are classic. Teams with good uniforms in the classic mode don't need radical changes. You can make minor alterations over time to keep it fresh, but I prefer that to wholesale changes that cater to contemporary tastes. They almost always fade and what is popular in the moment can look embarrassing down the road. I'm not one of those who hated the Sabres' goathead sweaters, and it makes a nice third jersey, but it is not as good as the classic royal blue and gold. The slug was precisely the kind of thing that the itch for change can produce. The Donahoe era monstrosities were the same on the football side. I personally think the white helmets pop and look much sharper than the red. I understand that some folks have sentimental attachment to the red helmets, but if you believe they are aesthetically superior you're simply wrong -- even though folks say you can't argue tastes. The current helmet is excellent. If they were to go retro, they should go back to the standing buffalo. Yes, it lacks the energy of the logo we stole from Howard University, but it has enduring, understated dignity that will persist a hundred years from now. (I'm in the minority here. That's okay. It's a barbaric age that despises good art and literature, so one must expect the same animosities to thrive in the realm of the sartorial.)

Somebody desperate for oline help which is a lot of teams. I bet you he brings a late pick if traded.

Ingram would be a good signing. I also still think it's possible they extend Ed Oliver which will disappoint some folks, but I suspect they like him more than many surmise. That would open up the funds to get an edge specialist.

It's a good article that clearly articulates why the pouting crowd angry we traded up for a TE are wrong given Kincaid's particular skill set. They can continue to hang their sad little hats on Dorsey being an incompetent OC, I suppose, but there's no reason an intelligent OC shouldn't be able to make this happen and I surmise Dorsey year two is going to improve upon his rookie campaign.

Too sad for words. I'll be dead before I have the damn thing paid off.

I read this in an article discussing Von Miller's specific surgery. I cannot remember the author so I am unsure how credible the information, but supposedly this was part of Miller's reason for optimism regarding a quicker return than might be expected.

The difference if I recollect correctly is that holes drilled in the bone for a previous surgery were still available to use in the new surgery. Apparently this is helpful and lessens recovery time. But my PhD is in the humanities, so this may all be hearsay.
