QUICK TAKES
Stop saying the Bills should pick up Ray Rice. They shouldn’t. All the running backs that are out now will be fine by the regular season. On top of that , the worst takes I’ve seen from all of this is justifying the addition with Rex’s “build a bully” mantra. Everyone we’ve signed so far we’ve signed despite their off-the-field problems. Signing players BECAUSE of their off-field issues is literally the worst way to build a team feasibly possible. Unless you’re in “The Longest Yard”.
Blake Wheeler claimed that NHL jerseys are ‘sacred’, that there shouldn’t be any advertisements slapped all over them (it’s apparently been a discussion since adidas signed a deal with the NHL).

Speaking of sacred jerseys, stop everything else you’re doing right now. You know how a lot of minor league baseball teams, in addition to having silly one-off promotions, there might be a “so-bad-it’s-good” jersey to coincide with it. They’re all in one place today, and vying for you to deem them the “best”. (BIG quote marks around that one). MiLB has set up the “Jersey Joust” with matchups between all sorts of novelty unis that only saw the light of day once- and maybe that was enough.
If you’d like a little eye bleach to rid your memory of those monstrosities, check out the best-looking uniforms ever in Uni Watch’s “Best Dressed Sports City” rankings. (I know you’re curious, so I’ll tell you off the bat- Buffalo is in a separate division since they only have two pro teams, and were 2nd to Kansas City in that division).
At least we’re considered good by someone. Glad that article came out today to counteract Deadspin’s “Why Your Team Sucks” all about the Bills. (NSFW)
