Nate Oats Fucks Off to Albama Where he will fail

By steve

Fucking nate oats fucking left for fucking alabama. Like we never existed. Eres a fact. Nate oats will fail at Albama snd be nothing. He is a carpetbagging money hungry piece of shit. I cant wit to watch him be the 7th beet team in the SEC dor the next 3 years.

Lotta connections in Alabama? Lol

Sure bama is gonna pay more but they have 1 tournament win since 2006 and a mere 2 ncaa appearances. How much did Turner Gill make after he got fired from Nebraska? Money isnt everything. And leaving makes sense if its a real program or real chance to win. But Alabama basketball?

UB Advances to MAC Semis Easily

By Steve

UB rolled over a disinterested and outgunned Akron team in the MAC quarterfinals 82-46. They will play in the semi finals Friday at 6:30 at the Q in Cleveland.

The Bulls lead at half time 38-21 in an ugly first half filled with missed FTs, 3's and tons of fouls by both teams.

Buffalo pulled away easily in the second half of a game that was over just about out of the gate. Akron got into foul trouble late in the first half and checked out after.

Buffalo is the best team in the conference and looks motivated for Selection Sunday and the real tournament next week. There is jo looking beyond the conference tournament at this point. I feel bad for Western Mich or Kent St tomorrow.

Grading the Bills on Day 2 of Free Agency

By Steve

Day 2 of free agency was better than day 1 of free agency for the Bills but still nothing to throw a parade over. But Buffalo did fill some needs. Heres the grades for day 2 of free agency:

Smokey John Brown WR 3 years $27 mil
Solid comtract for a solid player. Funny the Bills wanted to sign this dude last year and he refused. Last year the Ravens only gave him $6.5 but he had a consistent year and gives the Bills desperately needed speed down the field.
Grade B+

Ty Nsekhe OT 2 years $14.5 mil
If this guy turns out to be the starting LT as some are speculating then this contract is a home run. If Ty is a rotational offensive lineman its an abomination.
Grade C+

Jon Feliciano G 2 years $8 mil
Seems like an expensive backup or depth guy. He has 8 career starts in 4 seasons and only 4 in 2018 on an awful Raiders team.  PFF doesnt grade him out very well either (49/100)
Grade C-

Cole Beasley WR 4 years $29 mil $14.4 mil guaranteed
5'8 beasley turns 30 next month and seems to get hurt every game. He is a tiny little smurph man after all. He had solid stats last year but isnt getting quicker or younger. Its not a terrible contract and its not a terrible player. Moreover its a position of need but there is no chance this guy is on the roster in 3 years.
Grade C-

Overall grade for Day 2 is a weak B-. The late news of Odell Beckham should push it doen to a C but I wont blame the Bills for being the Bills. Because as we know they are the Bills

Grade B-

Grading the Bills on Day 1 of Free Agency

By Steve

The Bills went into free agency with something like the 4th most cash to spend and arguably the most holes to fill. And everyone knows championships are won on thr first day of free agency.

Of course all of these deals arent official until Wednesday but barring a failed physical or a car crash theyre on the books.

McBeaner and co shockingly signed zero former Carolina Panthers. They did however sign a CB, TE, C and RB.

Lets grade how they did:

Kevin Johnson CB
Former Texans first round pick played one game last year and is about at injury as any player ever. No contract numbers.
Grade: C-

Tyler Kroft TE
The Bengal cast off gets 3 years $18 mil woth $8 guaranteed. He has 8 career touchdowns albeit none last season. 5 of those TDs are from within 3 yards of the endzone. So he will be a big target for Joshy Poo Allen, too bad he cant complete short passes. He did basically nothing in 2018 after breaking his foot week 6. Its a risky contract for an unproven guy w a bum foot. 6'6 252 and only 26 he still has upside.
Grade C+

Mitch Morse Center
The 46th best free agent according to PFT and the number 2 center available. The reported contract is for about $11 mil per year which seems excessive considering its the highest AAV for a center ever (until the dude from the Broncos signs). It fills a big need assuming the former Chief takes a big leadership role in the o-line room.
Grade B-

Frank Gore RB
36 year old grandpa getting $2mil? This is truly an abomination. Perhaps the worst possible idea one could imagine. I would rather literslly any random RB from the SEC over this dude. He is taking a roster spot from some younger faster cheaper and better. I couldnt give two shits if he is friends with McCoy or provides veteran leadership. Howd that work for the Dolphins last season? Unbelievable if it wasnt the Buffalo Bills. DAY ONE?!??!
Grade F-

Overall today was an average day for the Bills and Brandon Beane. Nothing surprising (in a good way) but at least they didnt spend like the drunken Jets.

Overall Grade C-

Bills Sign Frank Gore, This Is Not a Joke

By Steve

The Buffalo Bills are run by incompetent trolls that hate winning, their fans and their national perception. Signing soon to be 36 year old Frank Gore is the cruelest of jokes.

It would be funny if it wasnt so sad and infuriating.

Signing 36 year old Frank Gore on the first day of free agency for $2 million sounds like an Onion headline.

He, as of now, is he 19th highest paid player on the team. Not only is he old and useless but he will UNDOUBTEDLY tske playing time from a younger faster cheaper better runningback. This signing boggles the mind.

I am dead inside. Kill me

Antonio Brown Tells Bills to Fuck Off

By Steve

The Bills reportedly traded for Antonio Brown last night. Then Antonio Brown heard he was being traded to Buffalo and told them to kick rocks. Basically he said he'd never show up and the traded was nixed. All with it 7 hours the trade was as if it never happened.

This is a stain on the franchise. This is a huge embarrassment. The worst part is the Bills, their owner, the GM, the underlings etc dont even know they are  a fuckin joke.

The Buffalo Bills arent even in the NFL. They are lucky to be confused with an AAF team.

To think the Bills would be able to trade for Antonio Brown and he would want to play here volunarily (ya know not as a hostage with a billion dollars and a gun to his head) is laughable.

What about all the talk about wanting the right kind of player? What about the locker room? Building chemistry? Team first guys? The right kind of player? OHHHH ACTUALLY TALENT MATTERS AND THE REST OF THAT SHIT IS JUST MADE UP BULLSHIT?

This franchise is a joke
