BillsPride12

There won't be an NFL season this year

I'm really not sure what happens once Fall gets here but this is exactly why I decided against booking any Bills road trips this year.

Jim Kelly- Todd Collins....Uhh wait a minute

Taste of Buffalo is always a great time Non festival stuff that is still fitting: Had tickets to see the Rolling Stones at the stadium Making it out to St. John Fisher to catch a Bills practice Tuesday in the Park Artpark concerts WNY runs off of festivals in the summer time. Gonna be a depressing one this year

I couldn't narrow it down to 5 guys specifically but it would have to be some old school Wrestling guys. Those guys were crazy and have wilder stories to tell than anybody including other professional athletes. Ric Flair would have to be on the list. If we are allowed to open it up to people who are deceased Chris Farley and Robin Williams would absolutely make it on my top 5. Michael Jordan would be another good one to listen to all of his stories that didn't make it on The Last Dance.

I feel sad for the 22 people that voted No

Go figure...NOW they say this after all the summer concerts have already been cancelled

I understand some people feel Marv was overrated but it's laughable to not have him on the Buffalo Mt. Rushmore he was the head coach during the greatest era of Buffalo football. He was a great leader of men and watching the Last Dance and seeing the way Phil Jackson was able to handle the larger than life personalities of Michael Jordan and Dennis Rodman had me thinking back to Marv Levy and how all of our star players from back then credit the effect Marv had on them. People tend to forget how big the ego's were on Jim Kelly, Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, Cornelius Bennett and so on and so on....I've never believed the narrative that any coach off the street would have had the same success or better success with that group. I'm not sure we get over the Bickering Bills phase as smoothly without the leadership of Marv.

Not technically summer but was planning on doing the Vegas Bills game this year but we decided not to bother with the state of everything now.

There's a Doc out on Netflix right now called Have a Good Trip and is all about a bunch of random celebrities stories of tripping on Acid and Shrooms lol. It's a pretty good watch. Anthony Bourdain had the best story

I'm not a huge fan of his either

Robert Woods Jason Peters

Oliver because he already showed such a big jump from the first half of his rookie season to the second half. I think he has the best chance to be our elite level player. Would also love to see big jumps from Tremaine Edmunds, Allen, and Knox who all have the potential to take their game to another level.

For the record I hope she finds success and her career takes off. She really does seem like a nice person. I know that Buffalo isn't her dream job either. Maybe this will get her feet wet and give her the experience she needs to get a job covering Missouri or the Bears

The Maddy Glab thing is tough because as someone who is not a fan of hers I don't want it to come across like it has anything to do with being bitter about her looks(I know the previous posts weren't directed to me) and I know she has a college background in sports journalism and is a sports fan I'm not disputing that but in our market all of our sports reporters and analysts have always been locals to the WNY region for the most part(ok so I know Howard grew up in Queens and Jeremy is from Syracuse). She just seems like such a fish out of water in this market to me. I know Murph and Tasker aren't the greatest listen in the world but Murphy is the Bills play by play guy and been with the organization for over 35 years. Hell Tasker played on the Super Bowl teams that are still beloved in Buffalo. They have their place. It's just weird to me listening to an Outsider who clearly has no background with Buffalo Bills football. Has nothing to do with her being a young cute female. In fact I actually feel really bad feeling the way I do because she also seems like a very nice and sweet girl too. Just from my perspective regardless of having a degree I don't see her as somebody very qualified for the role.

I get that Murphy has his detractors and it's not that I think he is a great listen but I'll admit that there's something about this that makes me a little sad. Murph is the classic old timer that you could picture as someone's Grandpa talking Bills football with at a family Christmas gathering or meeting at a bar. He might come across a bit stubborn or pessimistic but he was definitely an old school Bills guy. He's part of a dying breed. Sports coverage has been changing dramatically over the last five years and it makes me sad knowing we will be going forward with the likes of Maddy Glab who isn't from Buffalo, doesn't know a thing about the Bills or football in general and makes you wonder why the hell she even has the job in the first place lol. Chris Brown? Meh. I like Sal and he knows his stuff and I enjoy listening to him but once again he doesn't have that old school feel that I was accustomed to listening to growing up. It's crazy how fast times flying by and things are changing these days

I don't know anything about the victim, other than apparently she was involved in a crack cocaine trafficking ring as pointed out above, but here's another thing whenever one of these kind of cases come up...People automatically assume the female victim was a poor innocent soul that could be your wife, sister, cousin, niece etc. but the kind of Women that hang around and go after the athletes(and I am not taking about the wives but more-so the Mistresses and sidepieces) are scandalous as all hell 99% of the time. No matter what Bennett was in the WRONG as I have stated before but I wasn't in the room, you weren't in the room we don't know how everything transpired and if drugs and alcohol were involved things tend to usually go down. Once again I truly believe he was WRONG for the actions that were committed but I cannot crucify the guy for the rest of his life because of this. I trust Marv Levy as much as anybody in this world when it comes to judging character and if Marv says he thinks Bennett has served his punishment for the crime and deserves the WOF recognition it's good enough for me.

So your going on record to say Josh is going to be the next Brett Favre!? I can dig that

Why the hell not?

These are always great but I'm not expecting this year to be as exciting because of the circumstances

You could paint the bar in Zubas style and call it The Zubar ?‍♂️

I agree with this. I have to stress nobody that is defending Ed is saying what he did wasn't wrong. It definitely was but to call him the next Marcel Dareus or say that he should be cut etc. is going to the extreme. He made a STUPID decision. But a lot of people make stupid decisions at that age, that doesn't mean he cannot grow and mature from this experience. Whenever these kind of things pop up I just think back to how I was when I was that age and really do have sympathy for these guys as long as they didn't do something over the top. I'm sure there are a lot of other guys on the board that can relate to that.

Agree to disagree. The problem with this argument is it's going to be subjective to your own personal life and experiences. While I think everybody would agree what Ed did was wrong and getting behind the wheel after some pops is WRONG in general..if you are someone that never did that in your life I can see why you would think it's inexcusable under any circumstances. For those of us that lived that lifestyle when we were young and dumb I think we can empathize seeing a young person make the same stupid mistakes that we had to learn and grow up from. I will say this though it sounds like you weren't around the bar and party scene when you were younger which is fine but I promise you there's a HUGE population of kids that age that will drive after having some drinks and it's usually just because a lot of kids are inexperienced in life and think they are invincible at that stage, not that they think they are putting anybody in danger. Most grow out of that but obviously not all. As for the adult population that drives under the influence that is an entirely different demographic where there are probably more issues going on like alcoholism, depression etc.
