Whites Bay

Good God, this place is going to be intolerable. We're picking #1 overall. I...I can just feel it...

Aren't they moving as well? Sheesh. Sucks to be from Oakland.

Thanks for the PM and the responses. I have a VPN. Apologies - not very tech-savvy. Light up the VPN, and then use YouTubeTV on the laptop, correct?

Hello over there. I was just told that I'm going to Germany during the weekend of the Dolphins game (1 Oct 23). I'll have the following: 1) My laptop 2) An HDMI cable 3) An HDMI-to-USB-C adapter 4) A full-blown subscription to YouTube TV and NFL Direct Ticket and RedZone (I figured "F it" and got the whole 9 yards). Back when I was traveling to Europe during "The Drought", I could use GamePass. It worked - but the games sucked. Does it still work? Can I get YouTube TV NFL Direct Ticket in Europe? What is "DAZN"? Any input would be appreciated. I'll fly over a day early to make sure I'm in the hotel with equipment hooked up. Thanks much.

This. Because that woman is "wow".

And seriously good beef, but in my opinion not as good as is found in Sao Paolo. But I digress.

It's thoughts like those that bring a ray of sunshine into one's life every single time one thinks them. It's actually marginally funnier than the Peerless Price trade. Because we're talking about Tyrod Taylor...going to the Browns...for the first pick of the 3rd round... There's that ray of sunshine again!

Ha! True enough! In fairness, I DID leave my seat. Got to the top of the tunnel, turned around... The BEST part? We had a ticket for our stepbrother. He got so trashed the night before that he had to pass on traveling to the game, and then it wasn't televised in Rochester. We still have his untorn ticket kicking around someplace. It makes special guest appearances at family events.

Anyone who says they didn't leave the game is bordering on lying, because people were STREAMING out. Including my brother any myself. But he has always been the die hard that waits until the last play, and said "Let's stand here (on a handicap area) and watch." And it just started happening. It was biblical.

Marketing genius on the part of the DMV. SO going to get the Bills plates.

Off-topic but related note - I'm not an NBA fan, so for years I've rooted for a Finals between Sacramento and Milwaukee just so I can read the reports of a bunch of network programming types throwing themselves off a freeway overpass. Back on topic - My guess would be Bills/49ers. My wish would be either Cowboys or Giants...and pound 'em both.

Fewer seats per square foot are becoming a requirement. The average fan is "bigger" now than they were when the older stadiums were designed. Not trying to be snarky. It's morphological reality. Add in heavy winter clothing and it's like being sandwiched between the Michelin Man family.

Corta, friend, you're triggering "Drought PTSD". Remembering so many seasons 12-20 years ago when the Bills were (e.g.) 6-7 and "hey, if we win the next two games at home...blah, blah, blah." We all know what happened. They never won those two games at home, and we drafted Donte Whitner or James Hardy or Mike Williams or Tucker Mother****er. Thanks for the memories! But you're right - it's all about hope, despite the sour mood on this forum. I'm cautiously optimistic, just as I was during each year of the drought.

Call me when they bring out the rubber mats.

You're welcome to your skepticism, and it may be well-founded. But I'll pick a nit - Kincaid is listed at 6'4". Is it a big difference or big deal? Probably just shades of gray. There will be fewer DBs that can handle him than if he were 6' 3", but certainly more than could handle Gronkowski. Regardless - big stage, big game. I frankly don't mind if all the media hype is on the Jets. I think the Bills started believing their own BS last year. Week 1 is a big test.

Look who came down out of the trees! Hey, Spags! Since it's May, and we're in the season opener together, I trust we'll be treated to your non-stop erudition for the next 4 months. I'll get a mop and squeegee.

Bingo. And the sad thing is that we're staring at months and months and months of nothing in terms of actual news regarding the Bills. So buckle up for more of it.

Two thoughts: 1) I could just see something going horribly, horribly wrong. The damn thing is the size of a bus. Think "HAHAHAHA...oh SH!T!!!!!!" 2) Yeah, definitely peak off-season. Come on OTAs.

This made me think of Dan McGwire (brother of Mark McGwire), who was 6' 8". Didn't really help a lot, but seeing over the offensive line was never a problem.

You, sir, have singlehandedly RUINED my Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing IPA. Why don't you bring up Torell Troup while you're at it?

A great memory, but holy baby Jesus those uniforms. *Wince*.

I'm in agreement with this. This will be my kids' problem. But now that the state and county and league are involved, the project starts to gain a momentum of its own, and gets a lot harder to stop. Related thought - I wonder if the thought crosses the minds of the pundits and prognosticators who put this stuff out in the first place. "Hey, wanna spin 'em up in Buffalo? Let's pass along THIS gem."

Thread hijack alert. Easy to spoof Hall and Oates, but before you go too far down that road, you should probably dig into the "Sacred Songs" album by Darryl Hall and Robert Fripp. Quoting Wikipedia: "The album was originally intended to be part of a loose trilogy of sorts with Peter Gabriel's 1978 second album and Fripp's Exposure (1979), all of which Fripp produced." (In fairness, I remember reading the article that they cited...like way back in the day). a damn DAMN fine trilogy. Listen to "You Burn Me Up (I'm a Cigarette). Not the same Darryl Hall you see here. And now, back to the NFL Draft...

Question for those who know a LOT more about this than do I. If this is the contract for Seumalo, what is the guesstimate for Risner? Do the Bills have a shot at this guy, or is it just so much chatter?

I'm in the same boat, and I noticed that they actually pushed it out this year. It was typically a 6:25 kickoff - foot actually meets ball. Last night it was 6:43 EST. 18 extra minutes of chum and flotsam. Wonder how many years it'll take before it kicks off at 7:00?
