I’m sorry fellows for my attempt at adding “bad” humor here…..I’ve been so put off with the frustration of the Toney/Robinson soap opera that I just felt the need to do an about face here and add some “funny” to our lives. I hope it put a smile on your face as it did mine while writing this.

Go Mets
Go Yankees
Go Giants
Go Bills
Uhhh... Go Bills?

I can’t blame him. Hedging his bets by rooting for two teams. AFC and NFC teams. Unlikely that they will ever meet in the Super Bowl. Only conflict is an occasional interdivision game.

Yes, 30 years ago. I would enjoy the emotional conflict of deciding between those two teams but it won’t happen in my lifetime. In the 1960s, when I lived halfway between NY and Buffalo, I was a casual fan of the Bills, Jack Kemp et al.

You said "ever" didn't you?

Regardless, it's lame to have more than one favorite team in the same league. Why not have a favorite team in every division as long as you're cool with one in each conference? After all, the Giants play the other NFC divisions only slightly more frequently than they play each of the AFC divisions, right?

It's lame.
My favorite AFC team I root for

Not like the Giants of course…..but they are also NY team (although i can’t say i care about the jets) and I love the passion of their fans…..greeting their team back home after big key road wins. The Bills Mafia has earned my respect and of course marrying a Bills fan helps quite a bit if I root for them as well.
And more importantly  
5BowlsSoon : 10/7/2022 1:14 pm : link
Our GM, HC, other coaches, many players, and many PS players played in Buffalo. We definitely are connected.
Fuck the Bills

Getting back to Klein

Can someone please explain to me how Calitro wasn’t cut in order to elevate Klein, who clearly is a better LB based on resume? Did we make a mistake on this one? Will some team now poach Collins?
Might

Could happen.....thats how the Saints lost Murray to the Broncos. Its a risk you take. I always assumed there was some kind of "gentlemens agreement" between GM's when it came to the stashing of players on the PS that are then elevated to the rosters, but I guess not. Seems like these players are guns for hire; you need a RB or a LB for a game, look for a team who is finagling their roster in this manner and take one ( I wish some team would be doing this with a WR or two). For all we know, Klein could be used for one game, put on Baltimores PS....and then taken back by the Giants.

I’m surprised NY doesn’t see any WR on some other team’s PS that are better or more promising than players we have on our roster and or PS….such as Sills, Golladay, Slayton…..I’m leaving Richie off because he has done well enough.

Disclaimer: I don’t know how NY feels about any of the 3 WRs on their PS. Maybe they feel good about them and they don’t think they can find any better.

I'm assuming they needed Calitro to be active on gameday and that Klein would not yet know the playbook well enough to play immediately.
