Before publishing a tough book about Trump, Bob Woodward called Bezos to warn him. “Don’t worry, I have your back, Bob,” Bezos said. “I’ll always have your back.” Always turned out not to be as long as it used to be. Takeaways from Woodward's new memoir. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

No Bills pod this week for the bye, but Carl's breakdown of the defensive issues is worth a listen ⬇️ #billsmafia

🏈🎧 What's wrong with the Bills defense? The Bills deserve their flowers being 5-1. But the defense needs to at least become average for the team to have success when it counts. Took a position by position look at the unit with WIVB's Carl Jones. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c... #billsmafia

Someone once remarked that any opening line could be part of the greatest lead ever written if the second sentence was, “And then the murders started.” “Then the men in the hazmat suits showed up.” Damn.

A young family thought they had escaped the toxic legacy of Love Canal with a dream house near a creek in the suburbs. Then the men in the hazmat suits showed up.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Four #NFL games yesterday featured blown leads of 10 points or more. Buccaneers – led 16-3 after 3rd Q, lost to Steelers 26-19 in OT Colts – led 13-0 at half, lost to Titans 26-20 Ravens – led 10-0 at half, lost to Browns 13-10 Giants – led 10-0 in late 2Q, lost to Saints 34-27

The Bills are 4-0 this season when allowing 30+ points. The 2018 Rams are the only team in NFL history with more wins while allowing 30+ (5). It’s only Week 6. #billsmafia

The Bills are 5-1 at the bye week. Lots to fix, but the wins are in the bank. When the schedule dropped, the early part of the season looked difficult. 5-1 with four games left against the Dolphins and Jets is a good place to be.

The Bills defense somehow managed to keep Brock Bowers off the scoresheet but still had a frustrating half against the league’s worst rushing offense. Allen and the offense will find enough points. Defense will be the difference in the second half.

Josh Allen last night became the first player in NFL history to average over 10 yards per pass attempt and 10 yards per rush attempt, with at least 10 of each. He also extended his TD streak to 5 games, one shy of the QB record (6 – Justin Fields 2022, Johnny Lujack 1950). #billsmafia

headbutt ejections in both the premier league and nfl so it's been a big weekend for guys who like to say things like 'you just can't do that'

As MLB seemingly careens toward a lockout on Dec. 2, it's important to appreciate tonight's game: Cleveland, ranked 29th out of 30 in end-of-season luxury tax payroll (per Spotrac), will try to hold off #26 spender Chicago for the right to face #27 spender Tampa in the ALCS.

The Rams are currently favored by 2.5 points over the Bills on Monday night. The Bills haven't been bigger underdogs than that since November 2023 when they faced the 9-1 Eagles, two weeks after OC Ken Dorsey was fired. The Bills are 10-7 straight up as underdogs since 2020. #billsmafia

Final: Patriots 29, Bills 26. Bills lose for the first time in new Highmark Stadium and miss a chance to blow the division open. Jim Leonhard’s defense has a lot of work to do. Can anyone play corner? Turnovers a problem again. Offensive playcalling suspect. Ugly game. #billsmafia

Josh Allen, Thurman Thomas and Andre Reed all have 87 career touchdowns. Allen can become the franchise’s all-time touchdowns leader today if he scores. And if he runs in twice, he’ll be the first player in NFL history to open the season with 2+ rush TDs in four straight games. #billsmafia

The Bills win against the Chargers was their first victory with 5+ turnovers since a game against the Colts in 1997. Chargers coach today: Jim Harbaugh Colts QB then: Jim Harbaugh #billsmafia

Since 2000, NFL teams committing 5+ turnovers and 10+ penalties were 1-56-1. The Bills just put another one in the win column in their come-from-behind victory against the Chargers. #billsmafia

The future of commercials is already here. Amazon knows your purchase history and demographic info. With "dynamic creative,” everyone sees an ad from the same company at the same time, but the specific commercial you get can be tailored based on what advertisers think will resonate most.

You watched the Bills open Highmark Stadium. What was that game doing on Prime Video? I spoke with Amazon's head of sports partnerships and the NFL's VP of broadcasting on the growth of TNF and the state of streaming. Learned some interesting things 🧵 www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/202...

sportsbusinessjournal.comPrime Time: Amazon beams with pride over the growth of ‘Thursday Night Football’Amazon's solution for streaming latency is somewhat of a metaphor for how far its "Thursday Night Football" broadcasts have come and how much it has grown under its stewardship.

For starters: You may sense intuitively that the buffering and delays that used to plague streaming have faded away. Amazon is very proud of their streaming speed – they aim for under 10 seconds "glass to glass," from their cameras to your screen. Sometimes, they even have to slow their feed down.

Q: China is one of the most repressive countries for journalists in the world-- TRUMP: Well, I don't know about that. I think we're repressive also

FINAL: Bills 36, Texans 31. Exorcised some Houston demons. First win there since 2006. Joe Brady is 1-0. 📈 Fire up the Josh Allen MVP train 🚂 Deone Walker DJ Moore Dalton Kincaid Tyler Bass 📉 Jim Leonhard has work to do Penalties all over Still poor on third & long

Every game day, I wake up feeling a little different than I did during the week. My thought this morning is Bills-Texans will be low-scoring and total will go under. Great defense against a unit that should be improved, and a lot of figuring it out in Week 1. Bills in a tight one, under 44.5 🤷‍♂️

The Buffalo Bills announced that they will play both the American and Canadian national anthem for the first time at the Highmark Stadium opener. They're definitely making a push to expand their fanbase in southern Ontario, and this shows unity as a border city. The Sabres have always done this.

there is absolutely nothing more on the nose than ESPN founder Bill Rasmussen passing away, and *while hurriedly closing out* of their tribute to him, it *hard cut* to the The Pat McAfee Show
