I hope wherever Sean McDermott goes next he wears his glasses at the opening press conference. Because he legitimately needs them to see and he was bullied out of wearing them

Once again reporting for Bills WYTS 🫡
First half of text from the Bills Why Your Team Sucks: Sure, the defense has been bad in the last two Chiefs playoff games, but the uncomfortable fact remains: Josh Allen has had the ball at the end of the game with a chance to win, and he's beefed it twice in a row. The clutch moment drives  - nominally what you get a franchise quarterback for - have been awful, weirdly rushed, poorly executed, and just badly quarterbacked, like he forgets that you can get a first down instead of trying to win the game on one play. Doesn't help that Joe Brady ran the same 4th down play he'd run all fucking season on the key play, allowing Spags to set up a perfect counter to it, and definitely doesn't help that Sean McDermott's defense shit the bed in a big moment AGAIN, but at a certain point, you gotta go and win a gameSecond part of text from the Bills Why Ypit Team Sucks: Josh Allen's biggest playoff win is... the week prior, when the Ravens blew it? The other Ravens game where they blew it? Beating Philip Rivers on the Colts? Beating Mac Jones? Maybe the Bills are just a flat track bully. 

They still don't have a true #1 receiver (Keon doesn't have it) or a true threat off the edge (Greg Rousseau is invisible once the playoffs start), so why else expect anything except a spirited run to losing to the Chiefs in the playoffs again. 

Sean McDermott is comfortably a top 10 coach in the league and the best Bills coach since Marv Levy (and probably better, honestly), and I can't wait till he's fired.

being a Sabres optimist is a really good bit, and everything they do makes it an even funnier bit. Anyway, playoffs this year

Ravens probably the best team over the past two seasons but they’re the kings of beating themselves. Ah well, not my problem!!!

Fantastic close reading by @evand.bsky.social of AMERICAN ABDUCTIONS, my 3rd novel. “It is also a book filled with humor and hard-earned joy, suffused with a rare philosophical intelligence that saves it from any hint of mawkishness.” evanreads.substack.com/p/actually-p...

Tidal gave me a list of the songs I listened to most this year. No sorting for album position, no redundancy elimination, no personalization, just straight numbers. But it sounds great

I want the Bills to go to the Super Bowl so badly but I also know that win or lose it will probably be one of the most miserable experiences of my life and there’s no chance I could watch the game in polite company
