what I would give to have a ted Washington on this team now. 

Hoping that Walker, with all that size and athleticism, will develop into something resembling big Ted. Does he shoot pool?

Yeah, that's pretty stiff. The lame script wasn't really helping much. It comes off like a SNL parody.

I'd assume the Bills have some affiliation with a bank like M&T (like the Sabres do), so they probably couldn't get the jersey for contractual reasons.

They do, my ATM card has a Bills logo... M&T sponsors the Bills and the Ravens... hmmm

Watching TNF last night, the thing I realized about Jones, for me, despite the fact that he was a Patriot***, my hatred is of the player. I was sooooooo irrationally annoyed while watching a game between two teams I really don't give a **** about last night and listening to the commentators slobber all over him. At one point Fitz, who I appreciate much more when he's not behind center for the Bills, said something nice about him and I was like "**** you Fitz, go **** yourself." My wife commented earlier in the game, prior to growing tired of my disposition and going to bed, that my mood was almost like when I'm watching a Bills game and they're losing. 

 

Oh, also, what does this have to do with Allen's new commercial? 

Nothing, I’m venting, this thread was open and I’d just listened to someone fawning over the Patriots.

It begs the questions, did they cut the ending off early because Gabe dropped the line...

Check the comments in TikTok. Bunch of butthurt Lamar fans. 😁

She probably gives him pointers, but it's not exactly Shakespeare he's performing. Even without any tutorials, I have a feeling his natural self is a fine asset in front of the camera. He's got natural charisma and likeability that is innate.

 

One of the local car dealers has players from Syracuse on their commercials. They are so bad, it's not even funny.

All these commercials! Get back to football! We’ll never win anything with this guy thinking he’s Tom Cruise!

Unlike Jim Kelly (stiff and playing to the camera), Josh is natural and unaffected in his delivery.

Seems very genuine and likeable in his video spots. Perfect pitch man.

 

I remember during his playing days, Tom Brady sacrificed some of his contract to keep the team within the cap and sign needed players for the Pats. Obviously, between his wife's bank and his own endorsements, Brady could have played for the minimum NFL wage and still been comfortable. 

 

I don't know how much players like Josh and Mahomes make from the numerous endorsements, but I've wondered if making millions (I presume) promoting products is a major bonus that allows them to forfeit some of their playing contract so their team can retain talent.  Like Brady, Josh also has a wife with her own career wealth. She has an estimated net worth (according to one source) of $25 million. 

I don't get the sense that money is high on the list of motivating factors in Josh's life.

 

When elite QBs get their big pay day after their rookie contracts are up, suddenly it creates all new challenges for the GM and bean counters trying to balance talent and the ledger together.

 

I won't be surprise if Josh makes financial concessions to the Bills in the coming years that will ease the cap burden and help keep the team intact.

Seems like a win-win scenario if that's the case. 

 

 

 

 

i don't know that players make concessions.  What agent would want that.    Also, don't you think Kraft was kicking Brady money behind the scenes to stay off the cap.  If you know their ethics, you know this was being done.

Can't leave out TB12, the Aspiration of its time. Will anyone do an investigation there? Pablo Torre, do your job!

Whatever she's giving him, it's working. I think it would work for me too.

I’m sure Kraft was paying for a few special massages for Tom to keep him happy

That is one ugly uniform combo they've got him in though. 

 

Agreed. Why do they have to use "fake" uniforms?  

Does the league forbid the use? or it would cost too much to get a license to use?
