So it's likely McCloughan did have a side chick. But it doesnt seem like it was Russini and she just got caught up in some drunk wife anger.

Nissan was great for decades, and then fell off hard over the last 10-20 years. Quality is still mostly there, but they fell behind in innovation. I know they are pushing hard to make a comeback. I used to be a Datsun/Nissan guy before flipping to Toyota (with a brief horrendous period with Jeep in between). Both great choices. You wont see any drop off from Honda to Toyota, and probably some improvements in certain areas.

You cant go wrong with a Toyota. And the Tacomas are great. Last forever with just minimal regular maintenance. And hold their value for their whole life. Go for it. Tacoma, 4Runner, etc. (2017 4Runner owner here)

Fodder for the last preseason game? But maybe since he's coming out of DBU 🤞

Not looking good for this deal in Washington. The team has gone to the tactic of leaking info to reporters to try to make McLaurin look bad/greedy. IMO, it's on the team to get this done. Here's the team using Russini as a mouthpiece (if you believe the old GM's wife, it isnt the first time!) https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6563035/2025/08/20/commanders-terry-mclaurin-contract-holdout-nfl-news/

You know they dont gameplan for these, right? They just run stuff they want to practice and see how players react. No planning on schemes, matchups, etc,

"You're cut. You're cut. You're cut..." From what I've heard, Shavers has been struggling to find a special teams role as well. But at least he's trying 🤷‍♂️

For what it's worth, we lost last preseason to the Bears 33-6 in a VERY similar game, and responded by going 13-4 and to the AFC Championship. I'm not worried.

Bruh, no one can sit through the 2nd half of a preseason game and pay 100% attention. That is just another unreasonable expectation we have of these players when we forget that they are humans working a job. There is chatter and jokes on the sideline of every game, let alone a preseason where no starters played. R-E-L-A-X

From what I saw, Jones looked much much better than Richardson. But I think that's more about how bad Richardson is.

Hahaha, absolutely a thing in the 90s. We had the one Miami fan. He was in a family of like 7 kids, and it was his only way to stand out and get attention. Kinda sad.

Disagree with the folks saying McD isnt connecting or his speeches are flat. He's a pretty steady and consistent coach, and the one thing he does well is lead in the meeting room. It's the on-field decisions that have been his undoing. And keep in mind, he's challenging the whole room to keep the starters engaged when they know they arent even playing in that week's game, while also telling the cusp players what he is looking for in order to make the team. These are very unique situations in this weird preseason time. For all the flack I give McD, he is a very good leader in the room.

Definitely the best episode so far. Getting into the football side of it. Lots of good content. Mustve KILLED Josh to lose that bippity bop game. He might ask Beane to let him personally be the one to cut that kid who won!

I love any opportunity to get Hancock on the field. I personally think he'd be even better at nickel, but as long as Johnson can go we might as well find somewhere else for him. Hope his injury isnt too bad.

Agreed. Every camp I've been to, though not many, Pegula has been there. Off to the side, talking to Beane or McD, but not intruding. Why wouldnt he be there? Frankly, as an owner who is relatively new to the NFL, and who struck oil (or natural gas) hiring McBeane, he needs to be listening to them so he knows the type of guys to hire when he eventually replaces them. No job is forever in the NFL, and even if they are wildly successful, you end up replacing them eventually. Even Kraft had to replace BB. If I were the owner, I'd be tagging along as a fly on the wall. See how people operate, what works, what doesnt. Gotta be able to steer the ship a bit.

Another to note We've come a long way from "Cash to Cap"

There is a lot of content in this 30min interview. I've seen pieces discussed in other threads and thought we could consolidate here. And at least give everyone a chance to watch it. Crazy graphic...

jfc you guys are no fun

Take yourself to bed

Enjoy!

Caught that on McAfee as well (usual great interview by Beane). Interesting they cut out what is usually one of the more interesting parts of HK, but I totally agree and get where they are coming from. And even more so, the PLAYERS probably appreciate more than anyone. It's worth it for the Bills to build that trust with the players versus airing out their most vulnerable moments for some HBO show.

I think those are the likely starting points. I'd imagine with the Bills already tight on cap, it took some doing to get Beane up to $12M, and then an even heavier lift on getting the guaranteed money up. I'd also be interested in hearing if Beane started at 3 years and came up to 4, and how the Cook camp felt about that (there's pros and cons for both sides). We'll never know any of it tho.

You absolutely are. And he still isnt.

Who tf is Walter Cherepinsky? And has anyone seen him and @SoonerBillsFan in the same room?

How will we afford to re-sign McGovern now?
