Right, because Buffalo is a bustling metropolis otherwise.

Pearl street has had good lunch crowds for decades

Covid is, in fact, having a huge effect on many many restaurants & bars

Had a lot of fun in that place in the 90's. Got lucky, a guy I grew up with, his Father owned a bunch properties in Buffalo and he let us rent out a place over on Potomac, whole house to ourselves. I was in and out with the Army and deployments, but always had a room for me when I was home. But Reagen's was a fun place, a lot of frisky young women. The after hour parties at the House, surprised I am still alive after some of the Sh!t I did in my younger days.

Yeah, I’ve got some stories too about that place
Wild times for sure
I likely served u many drinks sir

Well I guess Gerbe was right about Terry wanting Mahomes

You might have my brother, there were some good times to be had in Buffalo. No Names, Razor's, Limerick's, Goodbar, Brick. Elmwood rocked back then.

"The Bills were far, far closer than anyone realizes to drafting Patrick Mahomes.

When everyone else in the country was squeamish, this was who Pegula coveted as the face of his franchise. He brought Mahomes’ name up to anyone who’d listen. The rest of the world saw Mahomes as some swashbuckler who’d never be able to play this way in the pros. To Pegula, he was a star. Yet Pegula also did not want to meddle. He had placed this trust into McDermott — into the embryonic stage of “The Process” — so the Bills’ brass then decided to trade down from 10th overall to 27th to pick up a future first-rounder with hopes Mahomes would slide.

He did not."


Oh snap

No, it’s not possible
Last week of the season has no prime time games
They’re all on Sunday at either 1 or 4
- jdfitz77

There will be a Sunday night game. NBC essentially gets to pick whatever game it wants for the Sunday 8:20 time slot in Week 17. It's been like that for a while now. There's none listed because they don't know which game will be most relevant yet.

It's why they list their Week 17 game as "TBD". https://sports.nbcsports....watch-on-tv-live-streams/

Missing the playoffs & having Hall walk & Eichel ask out would be a MUCH BIGGER MISTAKE

Time to go “all in” on winning
And it’s ridiculous to think Hutton should be a part of that
- jdfitz77

Ok. All in on winning now. What is a fair cost to bring in Kuemper and possibly see him walk in 2 years as a UFA.
What is the cost to bury or buyout Hutton?
And last, Why on earth would they sign Ullmark for 2.6 Mil to have Kuemper come in to play the majority of the games.

I've taken ecstasy at every bar in downtown Buffalo.

"This was his guy,” Whaley said in Part I of the article that was published on Wednesday. “This was the guy he thought could define him as an owner and go back to the glory days of the Bills with Jim Kelly. So he’s like, ‘This is our next Jim Kelly."

The parallel what-ifs are interesting to think about, but far from a guarantee. Mahomes probably doesn't essentially sit out the entire year like he did in KC in 2017. He would almost certainly replace Tyrod Taylor, probably sooner than that San Diego game given that Peterman was only a 7th round pick and Mahomes would have been a first. The Bills receiving corps that year, and the year after were absolute garbage. Does Mahomes learn as much from the tire fire that was Rick Dennison in his first year than Andy Reid?

The Bills spent those first two years building around the defense, so he wouldn't have the weapons he had in KC ever. Remember, the Chiefs won their division in Mahomes' rookie year with Alex Smith at quarterback. They started out on fire and then fizzled out a bit. That surrounding cast was fantastic well before Mahomes even came into the league. The Bills had nowhere near that.

At the same time, though, do the Bills see what they have in Mahomes, and make different trades to upgrade around him faster? I'm a firm believer in "if you have it, you have it" and eventually you will figure things out. I believe if the Bills drafted Mahomes they would be a very good, possibly great team by now, but I'm not sure, given his supporting cast, we would be having the conversation of whether he will end up being the greatest quarterback of all time, not yet anyway.

Gerbe has been telling us this for years, yet many make fun of him. He was right.

The last question is addressed IMO by the compact nature of the upcoming season, with several teams creating good tandems in net because of the thought of 4 games in 6 nights, more back to back game sets. It is why Bergeron in Montreal has 2 number 1's with a ton of $.

The first and second question are as a) addressed IMO a prospect and a pick. More than that, either expand the trade to address more player needs by each team, or AZ can hold Cap....b) Hutton is traded for peanuts on the dollar, or Sabres hold a portion of Cap (both?), or they send him down and save a little over a $1m.

Totally forgot about Dennison. I would have sworn Greg Roman was the OC that year.

We had a really good time in Cancun, me and my 3 buddies. To drinking right in the pool, to the the booze cruises, senor frogs at night. So many women.

Kinda has a 70s sound with that keyboard in there. (Deep Purple, maybe?)
This is a cool tune

If there’s tour next year, they’re opening up for Primus on the A Tribute to the King tour.

The weird thing about Roman is how progressive he became with L. Jackson, but he had Jackson Lite in Tyrod and had the most vanilla playbook

My first time, was staying at a resort 80 miles south

Took a cab to the resort and he had to gas up.

Gave him a $5 said get some good "local" beer

we were drinking sol's and the cabby was going close to 100 mph with a sol in his right hand and the wheel in his left hand

A prospect and a pick will get u Raanta, not Kuemper. The yotes are looking to move contracts no doubt but sellin low I don’t think so..
I could see Raanta, Chychrum for Hutton, Middlestat, and a first.
