  1. I was disappointed they didn't show the ones where they told the guys who they wanted on the practice squad that if they cleared waivers they wanted them back.
  2. Is Inside The NFL on this year? It's no longer on The CW where it was the last couple of years. Len & Nick were so good, I actually liked Nick after hating him when he was with the Dolphins. When they did the documentary after Nick's health was failing, I felt so bad for the guy.
  3. The practice was most likely closed to the media.
  4. The people who always want more proof about valid stories end up looking foolish. Outside of the garbage I see on Facebook, people don't usually report fake stories that someone tore their achilles & is out for the season, especially a guy who outside of Bills Mafia is pretty obscure to the general public.
  5. All the conspiracy theorists who were doubting the validity of the report need to knock it off.
  6. It took Peyton Manning 9 seasons to get to & win his 1st Super Bowl. He had a similar problem that Josh has now. There was a guy named Brady & a coach named Belichick that kept him from getting there earlier in his career, just like Mahomes & Reid today.
  7. 2011 Mercedes C300: I haven't bought a car since 2010. Back then I went to the auto show in November in Albany & bought it in December from the same salesman I talked with at the show. Pretty easy, only model I wanted, only dealer in the area. Had all paperwork calculations from the internet before I went to the dealer & everything went pretty smooth. The car was in Long Island & the previous car I bought had been driven up from NJ. When I mentioned driving it up from LI, they said they don't drive them up, they transport it & don't add any miles. Took a hit on the trade-in, but I didn't want to be bothered trying to sell it myself, I did that back in 1986 & it was a chore. 2001 Audi A4: Bought in 2000, went through the internet with one of those best deal sites & had no problems. They drove the car up from NJ to meet the things I wanted on my car. I kept my old car for another 6 months as a winter/beater car then donated it. 1988 VW Golf: Bought in 1988 a few months after I moved to Albany. I hated my Mazda & traded it in. I got beaten up pretty good on the trade-in but needed to trade it in in order to roll what I owed after the trade-in value into my loan. I drove the VW Golf into the ground until 2001. 1986 Mazda 323: Bought in 1986, disaster. 1st I had a prior deal for a new VW Golf in December of 1985, but they never delivered the car because car prices rose and they wouldn't deliver the car unless I paid more than the agreed to price. After 5 months I got my deposit back & bought a Mazda 323. (A few years later those practices caught up with that VW dealer & they went out of business). I sold my 1979 VW Rabbit privately. I hated the Mazda because I was used to driving German cars which handled much better than the Mazdas in the 1980s did. About a year & a half in it got stolen and they wrecked the clutch & I had to replace the steering wheel lock they broke. The dealer gave me a low quote on the repairs & I told my insurance that I wouldn't be filing a claim, then when I got the bill, it was higher & if I had known, I'd have filed a claim. I wrote Mazda to complain & the dealer wrote me back offering a free oil change. Since I was already planning to move, I ignored their offer & never went back. 1979 VW Rabbit: Bought in August 1978 when the new models, made in the USA, came out. I was living in Connecticut but bought the car in Long Island near my parents' house. I had kept my legal address at my parents' house & wasn't going to register a car in Connecticut where there was a property tax on cars. I wanted to leave my old car at my parents' house & they refused. My father told the dealer if he didn't accept the trade, the deal was off because he was co-signing my loan. I got the car & brought it back to Connecticut, where I only lived until December & then went back to NYS. 1971 VW Beetle: My 1st new car after driving a used 1967 Plymouth Fury II from February-August. Privately sold the Plymouth-never bought another used car after that. My father negotiated the VW while I was already in Fredonia. I flew back to LI a couple of weeks after I left for college & picked up the car, never having driven a stick shift. I brought it back to Fredonia, stalling out at every toll booth & stop. I eventually got the hang of driving a stick & drove them for the next 40 years.
  8. My last published media guide is from 2008. In 2009 I printed out the copy from a disk, but it was a lot of paper & I haven't printed out one since. The best I can do is provide this link to this year's media guide, which I will not be printing out. https://static.www.nfl.com/league/apps/league-site/media-guides/2025/BUF.pdf
  9. https://media.browns.1rmg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/11164514/2025-NFL-Record-and-Fact-Book.pdf They still have the 2024 one on NFL.com, but I found the 2025 on the link above.
  10. That punch may end up saving him $11 million: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/buccaneers/2025/08/21/shilo-sanders-bankruptcy-buccaneers-roster-deion-sanders/85732833007/
  11. That's easy. Making the 1st 53 man roster after cuts & getting cut a few hours later after the team puts in a waiver claim on a guy who plays your position.
  12. I remember him getting sacked long before he could run out of bounds. Sacked more times than potatoes at a produce factory.
  13. I still remember one guy on The Ringer who bashed Josh Allen when he was drafted & has spent the last few years begging for forgiveness. https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2018/04/the_buffalo_bills_are_the_biggest_loser_of_the_first_round_says_the_ringer.html https://www.theringer.com/2020/10/08/nfl/josh-allen-buffalo-bills-breakout-season-qb-scouting
  14. My guess is Patrick Mahomes Sr. had a little too much to drink & just started shooting off a gun.
  15. I've seen this elsewhere where some are taking it seriously. This is how bad PC has become.
  16. Anyone who takes this stuff seriously need to get a life. The only time I've heard this term is by Hispanic stand up comedians.
  17. Harrison Phillips to the Jets: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6566032/2025/08/20/vikings-jets-harrison-phillips-trade-pick-nfl-2025/
  18. Mahomes to back up Josh. Stop KC in its tracks
  19. Pickett or somebody like him makes Trubisky look like a Pro Bowler. The only team that should be keeping an eye on Huntley is the Albany Firebirds indoor team that just lost their starting QB to the UFL.
  20. There was this woman who would call in and call him "Artie Baby Boom Boom"
  21. After his WGR days he did some announcing at high school games. I went to a St, Francis HS game years ago and Artie was the stadium announcer.
  22. In 1978 George Allen got fired after the 1st 2 preseason games by the Rams. Then there's the 1971 John Rauch stuff with the Bills: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rauch Following a 3–10–1 record in 1970, Rauch avoided being dismissed, and was seemingly prepared to handle the reins for the upcoming year. However, on July 20, 1971, he abruptly resigned following a heated discussion with team owner Ralph C. Wilson Jr.[4][5] The source of the argument stemmed from Rauch's comments about former Bills' players Ron McDole and Paul Maguire. Wilson, without any consultation with Rauch, had traded the 31-year-old McDole to the Washington Redskins. Maguire who had become a problem with excessive lack of decorum on the practice field, was not offered a contract for the 1971 season by Rauch. On Rauch's first television show of the 1971 season prior to opening training camp, when asked about McDole, he stated, in loyalty to Wilson, that they traded McDole "while they could get something in return" due to his age. When asked why he did not offer Maguire a contract, he commented that all Maguire cared about was "how to get out of work and when's the next party." Training camp opened the next day and later in the week Wilson arrived at camp and indicated that he would issue a statement of support for the players (in spite of the fact that Wilson himself had traded McDole). Rauch said "if you do that, you can have my resignation". Wilson accepted.
  23. It was OC Turk Schonert who got fired before the start of the 2009 season. April was ST coach & assistant head coach and stayed that season. Ironically, KC did the same thing with Chan Gailey that year and after getting fired by KC, ended up rebounding into the Bills HC job in 2010.
  24. The biggest failure was sending the pick KC used to draft Patrick Mahomes to them in 2017. If Mahomes isn't with the Chiefs, the Bills & Allen have at least 1 Super Bowl Championship.
  25. We once had Carl Mauck for that but never promoted him to HC.
