MikePJ76 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 It's tough listening to these insufferable ego maniacs talk about anything. I think aikman should break in to song and put on his big dumb hat and boots and play oklahoma nights while buck gets a hair plug injection live during the game. That would make them interesting and entertaining. also, did they fire buck's wife when they fired all those people from ESPN this summer? She was as much a narcissist as these two are. I really can't stand these people. 4 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78thealltimegreat Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Look ESPN has an agenda the Bills are an afterthought the Jets are the shiny new object.

John from Riverside Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Hard knocks is an interesting show It’s very entertaining however, it seems like every year they prop up players that end up getting cut by the team at the end This year they seem to have gone away from that, and are just doing a lovefest with Aaron Rodgers, who looks very very old 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78thealltimegreat Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I’ll tell ya though watching this game with mute on Terry Mclaurin is arguably the most underrated receiver in football. My goodness next year Caleb Williams or Drake Maye already has a number 1 receiver in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like the league needs Rodgers in New York to be good and to be loved so the show is basically a hey everyone is wrong about rodgers look how soft and cuddly and funny he is. The jets didn't want to do this so I imagine this is the compromise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are really looking for leagues to invest, these idiots should have stayed neutral. Antitrust exemptions and such. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportcenter was almost always on unless they were showing a game. The latest it would start was 11 PM and it would run until at least noon the next day. Summer of 91 was my senior year. Me and my neighbors would meet up in the morning, brew a pot of coffee, get baked and watch a couple hours of Sportscenter. No better way to start the day, well maybe 1 way. Those were the days.😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospector Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I know Hamlin literally died on the field… but he’s not a great football player by any stretch of the means. He is a JAG by definition and someone I don’t want to see on the field, unless it’s a blowout and we put in our scrubs. Can we stop the Damar circus yet? I’m very happy that he is back to barely making our 53… but him taking headlines now is kinda old and not relevant. His story is what it is… but does he affect the Bills outcome on Sundays? Hopefully not, because he should be on the bench 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not, because he should be on the bench He was a 7th rd pick and has been an above average depth piece. It's early pre season, you probably weren't even watching the game, it was national media watching who probably were hearing their first media updates of the new season about him. There's been a major spike in people taking CPR Classes. Did you come home from work early and find him in your bed? If not, you should seriously chill out.

machine gun kelly Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 The thing with Hamlin is he’s a nice 4th slot for depth at safety. He was a 7th RD pick, solid guy, but he’s been immortalized with the near death experience. inthink it’s great how he recovered, how he’s used this as a platform for change, and good for him. on the football side he’s a 4th slot with the Rapp signing. That doesn’t mean he’s not a great guy, nor did he accomplish the 4th slot on his merit. He’s just not Poyer or Hyde. Rapp is close, but Hamlin is a typical 4th spot safety.

Low Positive Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) So the cynical reading of Steven A’s “sources” report yesterday would be that ESPN needs a narrative about the Bills for the lead up to the game. The Jets are full of em but the Bills are mostly a good team running it back. Edited August 22, 2023 by FrenchConnection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 While Rodgers is an upgrade over the crap, they had last year it should be pointed out that Aaron had 5 games where he threw for less than 200 yards last year. That is Zach Wilson level bad. He also didn't have one game where he threw for 300 yards or more. At 39 going on 40 good luck surviving playing behind that POS OL.

Gregg Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I think the Jets would have been better off with Carr instead of Rodgers. At this point in their careers is Rodgers that much better than Carr. Obviously, he is in his career and a first ballot future HOF, but Carr is only 32 and could have given the Jets more than 2 years. Rodgers might not be that good in these next 2 years anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl2526 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 So, sweetness would be Buffalo mashing the Jets, winning the division championship and the Super Bowl, and Diggs winning the receiving crown with 120 receptions or so and a couple thousand yards and declaring that when he retires, he wants to retire as a Bill.
