Some thought James Cook was expendable, that he didn't deserve the πŸ’°πŸ’°πŸ’°

Now, he's playing well above that contract extension.

Some big implications for journalism, too, where reporters often mistake trending posts as a reasonable reflection of public opinion.

From @theathletic.com: Oscar Pistorius, one of sport's most notorious figures, is now virtually invisible in his own town. He lives a reclusive existence in a mansion under the conditions of his parole for the murder of his then-girlfriend.

"Tim Graham And Friends" by CTBK wonders if it's too soon to start wondering if Bills can run the table and Sabres make playoffs.

Bills might have best chance at elusive No. 1 seed this season, plus a look at Saints matchup The Bills have long coveted the No. 1 seed and all that comes with it.

The Bills take on the Saints this weekend, but zooming out, it's time for a big picture look at the Bills' situation.

And while yes, it's early, the No. 1 seed has never seemed so attainable for the Josh Allen-led Buffalo Bills as it does in 2025.

β€˜Nickname’ is not β€˜nick’ + β€˜name.’

It was originally β€˜ekename.’

β€˜Eke’ was the Middle English word for β€œalso” or β€œin addition.”

Since β€˜ekename’ began with a vowel, people used β€˜an’ before it.

Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

Bills vow to fix awful third-down defense: β€˜It’s a little demoralizing’ The Bills posted one of their worst third-down defensive performances in over 30 years on Thursday night.

As we went over the Bills' inability to stop a Dolphins possession despite FIVE third downs, nickelback Taron Johnson actually growled.
