  1. The thing that stands out to me is how much more physical that Carolina team was especially on Defense.  Even though we have had good Defenses under McBeane we haven't been able to get to that level Carolina was at in 2015.  Not for lack of trying or using resources but Beane has struggled to put together a dominant Defensive line here, one of the biggest things holding the Bills back from being a true Super Bowl contender IMO.

    My fandom started because of the 1990 Bills team. When I would go to my grandparents he had the 1990 Bills Yearbook, watched that thing 24/7. He also had on tape a replay of the comeback game. Everything built from there. I remember back in the non electronic ticket days going downtown to a ticket office and my dad grabbing tickets for a game mid 90s.

     

    My first playoff game I ever got to go to was the 2023 game vs Miami. I legit cried a little during kickoff just thinking about the family connection and the fact I finally got to see a game in person. It was fun haha

    I must've watched that and the 91 Bills yearbook hundreds of times as a kid, they were phenomenally well done!  They had a major impact on me becoming the Bills diehard I am today

    Well considering you are taking time in your life to defend them on a message board in multiple threads, they by default have something to do with your life.

     

    But now I am honestly just curious where the line is with this way of thinking.  So what about people who shoot up schools and murder kids...because your kid wasn't involved, they get the same "imperfect" should be treated as a "regular guy" defense from you?  Or even say serial killers who didn't kill anyone you know?  Or heck, even the big one...Hitler, if say none of your family was affected?

     

     

    I think he's just a poster that likes to stir the pot.  His own logic doesn't make any sense.  On one thread he is using his logic to defend OJ but then turning around and trying to use the same logic to trash on Brady.  It doesn't even add up.

    I am not at all saying I'm angelic or even close to a good person. The amount of fanfare these athletes get is ridiculous. That they're treated like they're a gift to the human race is annoying, at best.

     

    There have been few good athletes out there who truly deserve the accolades of respect. One such is Jason Brown.

    Dude!  I remember you getting all bent out of shape when I called out OJ for being a POS!  I don't disagree with this post but it's hard to take you seriously after you were going so hard on trying to defend OJ.  Make it make sense my man

    Lampanelli is great, I agree.  Amy Shumer would have been good as well.

     

    Nikki Glazer absolutely slayed, however.

     

    Lampanelli and Shumer have both seemed to step aside from the Stand-Up Comedy world for some reason at the moment.  Lampanelli was great but I coudn't stand Amy Schumer.  I also wonder whatever happened to Sarah Silverman, she used to always do the roasts.

     

    But anyways Nikki is definitely the current top dog in female Stand-Up/Roasts at the moment

    Other than the other upstate places like Syracuse and Rochester, Id say Hartford is reminded me a bit of Buffalo.  Just the look and size.  Cleveland is a good comparison.  I always describe Cleveland as "Buffalo on steroids".

     

    I have lived a few different places, and Id say South Jersey was the most at home I felt other than Buffalo.  

     

     

     

    Is there anything fun to do in Hartford?  I see they have a big 90's Con there now and I'm kinda interested in checking it out but not sure a trip based on that alone would be worth it.  I know New Haven is pretty close by so would probably stop there for a Day and do a little Pizza tour.

    The roast was decent, but it seems we have a lot of secret Brady/Pats fans around here. 

    Think it's more so fans of Comedy than fans of Brady.  It was funny regardless of how you feel about Brady.  I wasn't even planning on watching it originally

  7. I wasn't planning on watching this originally.  I was watching Vegas-Dallas Game 7 but then I noticed Twitter was blowing up last night about how funny it was so I decided to watch and it was so worth it and the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.  Kevin Hart was hysterical hosting and Nikki Glazer killed it.  Also thought Gronk was hilarious.  If you haven't seen it yet it's definitely a must watch.  Funniest roast I've ever seen

    Used to enjoy those 9ers - ‘Hawks games. Always pulled for SF though as I hated the Seahawks and still do. Agree with your take overall though for sure, those were great to watch. 

    Those games and the Steelers-Ravens games from around that era(maybe a little before then) were great

    Maybe for your age group and your demographic but the next generation will just enjoy it for what it is. That's been the way since the beginning of sports. With each set of generational changes you get the generation that grew up with the old game who say "it was better in my day." I turn 40 in a couple of weeks *sobs* and me and my mates get nostalgic over Premier League soccer from the 90s when the game was played at 100mph and was a bit more blood and thunder. I made my 19 year old second cousin sit and watch a re-run of an old game with me over Xmas and he was like "this is utter crap it's so basic, just like a fight on a soccer field." His generation much prefer the smoother, more methodical, less physical style of today. I don't speak to any teenage Americans (I'm guessing there are not many of those here) but I suspect you'd get a similar feeling re. the NFL.

     

     

    You will have to ask the league why they always tend to go for early in the season. There are some ground availability issues as you get later in the year (they normally try and coincide at least one of the weeks with the Premier League break for international fixtures) but I don't think there is anything insurmountable. I wonder whether they think weather is a factor too that might affect attendances for the neutral fans who are not hardcore of either team. 

    That's a fair take.  Like I said in my original post the ratings and overall interest in the NFL aren't going anywhere.

    Greed. That will be the demise of the NFL.  Time zones, team travel problems (jet lag), not enough elite positional players for even 32 teams, language barriers, native preferred sports (soccer), etc.  Top of the NA food chain and just being greedy and spreading too thin and wide.

    The NFL is too big I don't see there ever being a true demise but I feel like the NFL will start to go the way of the current NBA.  Ratings and revenue will still be great but the purist fans of football will lose interest and the NFL will generally be talked about how much better the product was 10-15 years ago.  There's a lot of people on the board that deny this but I already see it in a lot of places how people talk about the NFL this way.  It's sad but money talks and that's all that really matters for the Owners of the league.

    The new stadium isn't big enough to hold the draft. They said 700,000 people showed up to Detroit for it this year. Fans of every team show up as it is a big event now.

    I have no idea how the logistics would look but if Green Bay can handle hosting a draft then Buffalo/Orchard Park could handle it too

    Didn’t a million+ just show up to Buffalo for the eclipse? 

    Those were projected numbers but then the weather ended up being bad in Buffalo for the eclipse and alot of people went to other places like Cleveland etc.. and they said they were nowhere near 1 million people in the Buffalo area.  I wish the weather was better because I was actually curious to see how the area could handle hosting that many tourists.

    I don't get how Terry could have screwed this up so badly. Build around it, put a dome or a retractable roof and you can have tons of events in there. We could have held the Draft, a Superbowl etc. 

    I don't love the new stadium by any means but disagree with a couple points here.  I think Buffalo can still end up hosting the draft once the new stadium opens and we were never getting a Superbowl here no matter what.

    I know as a kid growing up that magazine along with Playboy TV seemed the ultimate in risque adult stuff growing up.  Little did I know though that that was just the tip of the iceberg then.  Lol

     

     

    I have a couple magazines I hold as collector items/nostalgia kind of thing.  It usually involved me being a fan or liking whomever was on the cover.  I have the physical copies of the issues where Geri Halliwell, Cindy Crawford, and Lisa Rinna (pre-housewives) were on the cover.  I still have the Maxim and Blender magazines Christina Aguilera was on the cover in the early 2000s.

     

     

    Funny story if anything this thread is making me think of my late Uncle (R.I.P).  He lead a pretty minimalist lifestyle in general.  When my aunt and uncle went to his apartment to clean it out well it seemed he had years and years subscriptions to Playboy magazine.  Apparently he had hundreds of them in his apartment.  

    Apparently he wasn't as much of a minimalist as you guys thought 😄

    You know a bunch of people here compare him to Kelvin Benjamin, right?

     

    Why give them this ammo?

    Kelvin Benjamin also was lazy and unmotivated.  I don't get this vibe from him at all.  He's allowed to enjoy good food
