But seriously the other stuff sounds crazy. Pretty cool memory, Alcindor was an absolute giant and he would rebound and then hand to me to feed Oscar Robertson for the shot ? I used to go early with my brother the usher and get autographs and meet the players. The Sabres games my brother was the usher for Knox' section in the golds. He had an extra seat for his phone. I had a bunch of pucks from chasing them in the hallway and I would get them autographed along with my hockey sticks. I played right wing and wore Roberts number so he gave me a stick and the French Connection autographed it. My buddy's dad was the penalty box guy and got all the broken sticks, he would give me some that weren't that broken and I would get them autographed. Good memories roaming around the old Aud.

I would rather have a Benz than a Mazda but ya know, I have a Mazda, so I deal, instead of pining for the thing I can’t have or hating the thing I do. 59 minutes ago, Mrbojanglezs said: Is it just me or does brown look slower on game film than what his 40 time indicates Are you suggesting that 40 time doesn’t directly correlate to in-game success and failure?

Now, I don’t watch much until the Finals. Those Braves teams were awesome! No need to name the rosters for you, but Bob Kauffman lived behind us and my sister used to babysit for them. He was a GREAT guy, great wife and have great memories and stories from those days. That is awesome. The old Braves were really exciting. I don't watch too much pro ball either till the end. My sister went to Buff State and was a big Randy Smith fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALSO, these players have to WANT to be here. Let’s stop deluding ourselves and acknowledge that Buffalo is not necessarily a desirable locale for young, affluent millionaires...despite it’s charms and our undying love for it.

I was at the game early with my brother who was an usher at the Aud. I was asked to be the official JC Penney Jr. Buffalo Brave ballboy for the night, cause I was wearing my Penneys Jr Brave sweatshirt. I actually got to sit under the basket on the back of the padded base with a guy who worked for the Aud. Lucius Allen came piling into us on a fast break. I was probably around 10 or 11. No way they would let a kid sit there these days. Starting lineup in 1977: Ernie D, Randy Smith, Adrian Dantley, John Schumate, Bob McAdoo. Yeah, that happened. In Buffalo. We also had Moses Malone for like a day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t see the need with who we already have. 600 yds and 4 TD's through Week 9 with Flacco throwing him the ball. Was probably on track for 1000 yds and 8 TDs on the year if Flacco wasnt benched. Horrible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they would be stuck with about $6.2M in dead money next year if it didn't pan out and they decided to cut him. based on what?

He was on pace for a very very good year with a QB that actually throws and isn’t a glorified RB. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion of what a 3 year deal for a guy at his age who has averaged 500 receiving yards per season the past 3 years should be worth? I like John Brown a lot. I will like it better if there is a bigger, better replacement for him in two years. And signing him gives the Bills a chance to pull the trigger on a WR in this draft when it makes sense rather than reaching. Sensible pickup. Not every good strategic move is a bargain. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every good strategic move is a bargain. pointless hypothetical here..... say the ravens ride flacco to their death last year and brown keeps up his 1100 yd pace or even regress a bit and jussssstt cracks 1000. did we overpay then? and are your views different on him then?...… do you think he can be that 1000 yd guy he was on the way to being before Jackson came in a they took their time machine back to the 1950's? I get that 1000 isn't what it used to be but its still solid. doesn't mean we aren't still looking for a top end #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akm0404 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I wonder what the “overpay” crowd thinks his next best offer was? While we can’t really know, I’d suspect it was very, very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
