Albany,n.y.

They drafted Benford with that pick. May turn out to be a steal.

All Ford will get you is a bag of unpopped kernels.

It was worse in Albany. Our local Bills station lost the signal the entire 2nd half and it was blacked out on NFL Network.

Ch 23 lost the feed before the 2nd half started. The last thing they showed was people walking to the stadium & that made no sense since it was halftime. Then the picture froze & it never came back. They switched to informercials instead. I still have it on but they haven't returned to the Bills game. I have WGR on now & will watch the 2nd half tomorrow on the NFL Network when they rebroadcast the game -It starts at 10-I'm recording it & only plan on watching the 2nd half.

An oldie but a goodie. The 1st time I heard that was when Buddy Hackett was on the Tonight Show and said that about Nixon during Watergate. Hackett said Nixon is sleeping like a baby,..

The day the schedule came out, I got 2 seats in the lower corner endzone for $215 each at Seat Geek. In the same section the cheapest seats I saw now are $264 each on Ticketmaster (ticket exchange) & on Seat Geek they're $288. All these include fees.

Saleh in post game PC: refusing to speculate, keeps saying wait until the MRI tomorrow. Then he slipped & said wait until the ACL and corrected himself to MRI.

I went to one in 1997 vs Minnesota because I wanted to see our QB of the future, Jim Ballard play. Jim Ballard was my Riley Ferguson.

I agree. He's the next Trent Edwards!

Immaculate Reception II

They looked better when Hoyer was in there. Sappy (sic) is not an NFL QB. Waste of a draft choice, following in the footsteps of other great Patriots QB draft choices: Mallett, Stidham, Elting, O'Connell, & Kingsbury. Considering the last 2 are NFL head coaches, maybe there's a coaching future for Sappy (sic).

We have the Giants feed on our local NBC station & don't have to put up with the NE announcers. The Giants guys haven't mentioned Josh, I guess NE is still shell shocked by the perfect playoff game. They're showing the Ravens Titans game on the NFL Network since the game is blacked out when it's on on a local station. On Saturday we'll be getting the Bills on the local Fox station & the NFL Network will have to show a rerun here & across Upstate & Western NY since there is no other game at that time.

Tyrod looked good until his receiver got the ball punched out. Zappe looks like hot garbage.

Here's an alternate way to listen to WGR if you don't like Audacy, but you can't rewind. https://mytuner-radio.com/radio/wgr-550-sports-radio-404063/

Why not Benford? Richard Sherman was a 5th round pick.

I've never bought Moon's lack of opportunity story. Moon signed with the CFL before the NFL draft. That was the same draft Grambling QB Doug Williams was a 1st round pick. Doug Williams was the one who paved the way for the next generation. Moon was a (NFL) draft dodger. Doug Williams is the one who deserves the credit, not Warren Moon.

The line opened at Bills +1, it's now Bills -2.5.

No way. The only people the Giants are going to surprise are their fans who won't believe how bad they are. I'm going to the Giants home opener vs Carolina because the Bills don't play that Sunday & I expect to see a lot of sad fans.

I've only bought 1 jersey-Josh Allen after the Vikings game his rookie year. I think I did OK with that one. PS: I have no idea why a photo someone put in further down in the thread appears here.

He wasn't sure what to do in camp and called Vontae Davis for advice.

Burroughs was a starter at CB before his injury. The Bills originally had pick 7 but traded down with GB to 14. They used the extra 2nd round pick from GB to draft WR Chris Burkett ( pick 42) after taking bust OL Mark Traynowicz at 29, with the 1st pick in the 2nd round.

Speaking of Bob McAdoo, before the NBA draft McAdoo had signed with the ABA's Virginia Squires. Here's a story that I wrote years ago that is published on the Remember The ABA website. "The only ABA vs. NBA exhibition game I ever saw was the Virginia Squires vs. Buffalo Braves game played in Buffalo on September 22, 1972. The game itself really isn't the story so much as the reason why the game was played. The story began the day of the 1972 NBA draft. On that day I opened the Buffalo News, and the sports page headline read "Braves' Dilemma - McAdoo or McAdon't." The story mentioned that even though the Braves knew that Bob McAdoo had already signed a contract with the ABA Virginia Squires, the Braves believed that they could draft McAdoo, find a loophole in his Squires contract, and sign him. Obviously, that's exactly what happened. This story is similar to the events that happened a year earlier when Howard Porter signed with the Pittsburgh Condors, yet never played for the Condors. Instead, Porter was "traded" to the Chicago Bulls after he had signed contracts with both teams. As far as I know, Paul Ruffner (the player sent by the Bulls to the Condors) was the only player ever to be willingly sent to a team in the rival league -- as compensation for the right to keep another player. That made Ruffner the only player to be "traded" from the NBA to the ABA. The McAdoo case was different in that no player was sent by the Braves to the Squires. However, there was a settlement between the two teams that permitted McAdoo to join the Braves. As part of that settlement, the Braves and Squires agreed to play home-and-home exhibition games against each other before the 1972-73 regular season began. The final twist in this story occurred one year later. More than a year after the demise of the Pittsburgh Condors an ex-Condor player signed with the Braves, and made the team -- his name was Paul Ruffner."
