off topic Buffalo Bills 2015

[That Aud Smell]

The ball thing is more like someone who corked their bat.

 

Except that a corked bat most definitely provides the batter with a physical advantage. The low PSI balls? Hmmm - not so much, it appears.

I guess we'll find out this year.

...if they let him play.

Well, he played in the last SB with balls that were inflated to 12.5-13.5 PSI and were kept under lock and key. And he had a helluva game.

[K-9]

There is no greatest QB of all time. The best that can be said is that the great ones in history all have a seat at the table. 

 

And it's a round table. 

 

GO BILLS!!!

I thought the Pats were fumbling at a rate nearly half the rest of the league.

They'll surely use this as motivation

 

 

And therefore feel the need...

 

 

to cheat...

 

 

 

Again.

And then blame an NFL sting operation when they get caught, and publicly demand an apology.

Dante Fowler, 3rd pick (Jax), torn ACL..  Lost for the season.  Ouch

[inkman]

;) :flirt: :w00t: :P :angel:

Then Jimmy Garapalo turns into the next great QB

[JujuFish]

A friend and I have been doing NFL predictions with each other the last couple years.  I thought maybe it might be fun if we did it here on SabreSpace.

You go through and pick every game and it keeps a tally for the whole standings at the end.  We could make predictions and post a link to our predictions and go back at the end of the season to see how people fared.

hey new sabres family... thanks for the sanity of barbed but fair discussion with no trolls... you guys were great.. In the spirit of blows against the empire, there is a thread i started at tbd to suggest ways to have the teams back by shaming the patriots for cheating since 200 and making them hate playing in buffalo etc.. in turn you get to out all the weird trolls that inhabit the cave on tbd because they wont like proof of the pats cheating along with a plan to chase them from buffalo with torches and pitchforks etc.., so Kraft whines for division realignment,  its called  "Hey Bills fans.........", thanks.

 

    shake it up now suragee...

I read that, too. I think those stats wound up coming under heavy criticism.

[WildCard]

Schefter reporting we should expect the DeflateGate punishment today or tomorrow, and that the league views this as akin to a performance-enhancement substance, and the punishment is expected to be a 2-4 game suspension.

So they think/know everyone is doing it but can only punish those who get caught? :p

[calti]

Marino was the best passer I've ever seen, but Montana was the best QB.

I'd agree. Although Fouts was really close to Marino in the passing dept..

[calti]

Barry Bonds might have been the most entertaining hitter in baseball.

1.Bonds on steroids

2.Ted Williams/Ruth/Cobb

3.Mays

[Hoss]

Wow. Brady suspended 4 games, Pats lose 2016 1st, 2017 4th and are fined $1M

As long as that upholds through an appeal I think it's fair

Belichick should have been suspended too. Remember, "ignorance is not an excuse"

Agreed. Sean Payton was suspended the entire season for ignorance, Belichick should have at least gotten the same 4 games

[wjag]

Super. No Brady in Buffalo

[Randall Flagg]

Pats fans live in their own little world, it's been a treat reading the responses to this.

 

 

They seem confident he's going to appeal and win it, to get the suspension taken away, is this more of their shoving their heads up their ? Or is that a possible or probable outcome?

[LastPommerFan]

I have a lot of family and friends from the Boston Area.

 

Tonight has been a special treat.

 

Thank you, Social Media.
