It's truly heartening to see a new generation of schoolgirls become Bills fans! ❤️

Just consider that they are a few years older now and the show probably won't be as good as it was then.... especially if they are old-school bands.
Kind of a funny phenomenon I've seen a few times is old rock bands sucking up a storm in middle age, then somehow getting better- not prime, but better- when they re-emerge as geezers.
I remember the Who's Last 1982 tour radio broadcast as a kid, they were a shell of themselves. I saw them live in 1989... (1982 was not their last tour afterall!) and they were in some weird, boring, over-produced phase... then in 1994- they were Dang Good! Not Live at Leeds good, but still dang good, and back to their more stripped-down selves.
The SB show was garbage and I haven't seen them since Entwhistle died, so no idea what they are about nowadays.

Oh please. Dems are the party of victimization and trying to rewrite history on every topic Trump championed. Hilly loses in spectacular fashion when Dems just knew she'd cruise to an easy win and it's Russia, Russia Russia! And just look at the latest Dem lies about the border crisis and defunding the police being his/the Repubs' fault. And you have the nerve to call questions about the legitimacy of an election cobbled together during a one-in-a-century pandemic "THE BIG LIE"?
I mean, it's our duty in America to defend your right to believe whatever it is you want to believe, but when four ba-jillion lawsuits are brought, and laughably shot down by justices across this nation- of all political stripes, wouldn't ya think it's just maybe possible you're barking up a tree that was never really there?

Both. Have you seen the propaganda our great nation rolled out showing the Japanese or Germans soldiers as caricatures of themselves.
Remember the Japanese American concentration camps?
If you take a look at the garbage that was WWII propaganda, you’ll see that it was a very racists period.
The intent was to demonize / dehumanize their opponents. Everyone did it and it was all disgusting. That’s why I said WWII not Nazi.
If you feel so strongly for the poor German & Japanese soldiers, and believe America was the wrongdoer, not the Nazi's, maybe you should consider not living here and cheering for the team in red, white and blue??

No better depiction of how some view people who dare to disagree.
You’d see the same crap during WWII propaganda. First dehumanize. Then eliminate.
Wait, so are you saying Allied nations 'dehumanized and eliminated' citizens who disagreed (with the war presumably). Or are you saying the Nazi's eliminated people of certain groups because those people chose to disagree with the Nazis?

Wow! I swear I didn't look at this thread - for weeks - before posting- I was on a road trip. Must be ol' mix tape season or something. Bravo to 70's, Pete & DrW!
oh, and if your tastes range there, maybe don't disregard the song I said to disregard... there's an odd beauty to that one for a sweaty front-porch evening listen. -

A little Dramarama appreciation trip here- pretty good band, caught in the middle of the LA post-paisley thing, but too 'alt' for the Sunset Strip scene. Working backwards... sorta, the last song was their first airplay (see Rodney Bingenheimer), the first song was off a mix tape from a girl named Brandy, and the middle one may be... just right

Unfortunate.
I remember the coaching staff was giving him good praise last year. Good enough to keep him around for another year.
Hopefully he can come back after this and find a way on the active roster.
Admit it everyone, we all want this young man to succeed just so we can see his dad at the games all decked out in Bills gear.
I'm not sure I should admit this here, but I eventually lost some of my B. Cox hate after catching him on some broadcasts- seemed like a like-able smart guy, haha.

Cutting John Brown saved the team $8M in cap room..........they replaced him with Emmanuel Sanders with a total cap hit of $6M(though 1.3 of that is pushed into 2022)............so if you think cutting John Brown and replacing him with Sanders didn't "reduce the cap hit one microbe" then you are just embarrassingly bad at basic arithmetic. 😆
Stop playing 4-D chess with me. I can't handle all these amazing concepts.

Any normal team is trying to better their roster, occasional misguided millions is just part of the business on the way to making much more than that.
The salary cap 'should be' just a guidepost for the team owners- where you build your desire-able product is maneuvering within that cap.
Except for Ralph. Always a ba-jillionairre, playing with this team as if those extra 200 bucks were going to ruin everything.
Do you know how much talent he let go, and how much avoidable heartache we've had to endure because of miserly thinking you embrace as, brilliant??
When a player takes a reduced salary, they're doing it because they haven't lived up to expectations, are probably targeted as a potential cut, but believe they can do better and get a good payday in the future. This is not complicated.
The team gets a cap break, and the player has a better chance to live to fight another day.

Obviously.
But if you save $6M cutting a player and can then re-sign him for $2M you are ($6M-$2M) $4M to the good.
People get confused about the importance of dead money.........but that's a sunk cost either way.
Here is a real life example:
Cutting John Brown saved the Bills $8M..........he then signed with the Raiders for 1 year @ $3.75M.
Had the Bills signed him back for that amount they would have saved $4.25M by releasing him and re-signing him.
If a young, versatile DL like Efin'A Obada and a former second round pick coming off 16 starts like Forest Lamp signed one year deals with Buffalo for just $2M and $1M , respectively then the market for Addison and Butler coming off down years was no more than that.
But by just giving them all pay cuts Beane has both grossly overpaid them versus their market value.........and left them dissatisfied with management.
Very good, Ralph- you've just saved your company millions in out-of-pocket expenses, but you haven't reduced the cap hit one microbe by cutting the player.
Now you propose to re-hire the player, adding to that cap hit you took ZERO cents off of.
Do you think there's a reason why you never see that happen??

You are incorrect.
Once you cut a player with enough service time to not be subject to waivers they are a free agent.........meaning free to sign with ANY team.
There are limitations on HOW MUCH you can cut a player's pay though........even if they were agreeable to more.........that figure used to be 20%.
It's not common and obviously the Bills should have cut both Incognito and Lotulelei rather than go the pay-cut and guaranteed salary route.................but your assertion above is incorrect.
If a team straight-out cuts a player they are responsible for the entirety of guaranteed monies and the cap hits which come with it. To then re-sign the player you are adding new guaranteed monies to THAT total.

I merely listed Beane's past history with pay cuts.
1 player manipulated the team into releasing him post pay cut.
1 player opted out of the season post pay cut.
0-2
Worth noting that neither Addison, Butler or Lotulelei were at ANY of the non-mandatory offseason team activities.........despite all seeming to be at career crossroads and in a tough FA market, very lucky to be getting paid what they are scheduled to receive.
Pay cuts simply don't make people happy about their situation..........even if their situation is still pretty good..........but since some people work for businesses for free I understand why THOSE people might not understand this concept.
You can't cut a player then re-sign him at a lower price-point for cap reasons. Saving on the cap is really the whole point of salary restructures/reductions
unless Ralph owns your team. )

Yeah, no. Going from one ethnicity theme to another because public pressure demanded it, doesn’t seem logical.
But I like the thought. How ‘bout The Marshals? Gives credence to police, D.C. and would be named after original owner George Preston Marshall.
Too Texas-y, also, the Washington Snyders just has a better... mouth-feel to me. Makes me want to go to a ballgame and buy a pretzel.

This.
The powers that be state people like, apparently many on our team, can’t even eat with their teammates. Because an unvaccinated person eating lunch with a vaccinated person will do… what?
Even if they want the performative use of a mask to be around vaccinated people, for zero medical reasoning, fine… I’d just suck it up for my team…. but these league rules are straight up punitive and meant to send a message.
And the message is, 'don't be a ***** dimwit, and go get the damn vaccine- we've got a good thing going here...'
Stupid isn't a point of view.

I'm sure the NFL will mix it up when they have games in Germany. The NFL fans there will want big games.
Ze Germans are just lucky we don't have a crappy team named after one of their cars.

Maybe there were some devil's advocate debates that Whaley has spun around or something.
No way a 40 year scout looks at EJ's college play-by-play and thinks, "Awkward, inconsistent and brutally inaccurate... I've gotta have this guy."
EJ Manuel is a pick by someone who saw a few crazy-good plays, got a scouting *****, and no blood left for the upper brain.
