It appears Stefon Diggs and the Buffalo Bills are at an impasse, and no one knows why.
No need to waste your time with the saga; basically Diggs showed up to mini camp, didn’t practice, left, then quarterback Josh Allen and head coach Sean McDermott reacted. As things go these days, Diggs went the good old cryptic Instagram story route after that. A tale as old as time.
All of that, and we still have no idea what exactly is going on betwixt the Bills and their number one receiver. Are we looking at a contract dispute? Diggs won’t be an unrestricted free agent until 2028, but NFL contracts are a joke and it seems like either side can get out of them whenever they want, so maybe it’s that?
Does he want to see more balls thrown his way next season? Diggs saw 156 targets last year, which was good for fourth in the NFL, not sure it’s that…
There’s really only one logical answer.
If it’s not a contract concern, and he’s getting plenty of looks in the Bills offense…it’s gotta be the wings.
Buffalo is a great city that prides itself on many things, mostly importantly it’s buffalo wings. They’re the OG city in this specific food space, and the reason we all have sauce-covered fingers when we go the bar. Is Diggs poo-poo’ing the importance of this key fare we’ve come to love as a country?
If so, then we can all agree Stefon Diggs can go away and stay away. United we eat!
Chiefs, Eagles, Bengals, 49ers win; Jaguars, Giants, Bills, and Cowboys lose. SSM reviews the NFL Divisional Round.
Started out in KC, a scary injury Mahomes got folded up weird, seemed to hurt his knee It was a ankle sprain, says he’ll play next week Jags lost to the Chiefs but their future isn’t bleak
One blowout this weekend, an NFC East bout Eagles railed the Giants, really left no doubt Danny Dimes was bad, Jalen Hurts was good The one seed in the NFC playing just like they should
Bengals and the Bills, snow globe in Buffalo One QB was on his game and that was Joe Burrow A rematch with the Chiefs for a trip to Arizona Talking grad school NFL, winner gets a diploma
An all-time uni matchup, 49ers and Cowboys Brock Purdy did it again with his offense full of toys Next one on the docket, big one against the Eagles Football was so good this weekend it should be illegal
In a world where no one can agree on anything, if there are two things we as Americans can get close to seeing eye to eye on is our love for pizza and football.
On Tuesday afternoon, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni brought these two magical worlds together with the below clip:
Millionaire NFL coaches…they’re just like us! Just a couple a coworkers getting together, flipping on the game, and firing up an order for some stuffed crust from the Hut.
Which of course begs the question…if each of the remaining coaches left in the NFL were pizza toppings, what would they be?
Nick Sirianni/Brian Daboll – Pepperoni & Sausage
Sirianni’s the pep, and Daboll is clearly the sausage in this scenario.
A good old fashioned NFC East matchup that we can rely on to fulfill our appetite for good playoff football.
Andy Reid/Doug Pederson – Cheeseburger & Kielbasa
Old buddies getting together when the Chiefs take on the Jags this weekend.
We all know Coach Reid loves his cheeseburgers, and Pederson just seems like a guy who likes to say “kielbasa” when he orders.
Mike McCarthy/Kyle Shanahan – Bacon & Arugula
It’s hard to find a pairing where both coaches seem to be at the total opposite ends of the spectrum. Well, here we are.
McCarthy seems like a guy to double or triple up the pig toppings, while Shanahan has big “let’s get some ‘za, but try and keep it as clean as possible” energy.
If you’re not a Bengals, Jaguars, Chargers, Ravens, or Dolphins fan, odds are that you’re hoping to see the Bills and Chiefs play in the AFC Championship Game.
Mahomes v. Allen, Bills Mafia v. Chiefs Kingdom, McDermott vs. Big Red Andy Reid; this matchup would have the most storylines by far of any AFC pairing we as football fans could get for a shot to go to the Super Bowl.
Well, it appears if our collective dreams are answered, there’ll be one more: the game will be played in the most logical place of all, Atlanta.
Yes, beautiful Atlanta. The A. The Dirty. Home of the NFC South’s own Falcons who haven’t seen the playoffs in six years. Whose most memorable postseason is still meme’d to death almost a decade later.
There has to be one of the dozens of Falcon fans out there that really hopes this potential AFC Championship game being held in their stadium is going to brainwash the internet into forgetting that the Falcons blew a 28-3 lead against the Patriots. If you are that person and are reading this, please reach out to chris@untimeddown.com; I would love to speak with you and get inside your brain.
For now, let’s all enjoy Super Wild Card Weekend and root for the Dolphins not to pull the biggest upset in playoff history by beating the Bills on Saturday. Because if they do, all of this Atlanta mess will be for not and me writing and you reading this blog will have been a massive waste of time.
The NFL Playoffs are officially set. There were other sports happenings as well; and it’s all here in this week’s SSM.
Can only start in one place, and that’s Damar Hamlin A terrible event to start, but something good begins The response took our breaths away, honors and donations It showed the power of kindness has no limitations
AFC and NFC, both top seeds are set Philly and Kansas City, two offenses like jets Both great quarterbacks, defenses are strong too Chiefs would be and old story, but Eagles would be new
On the other end, those Chicago Bears Worst team in the league, falling down the stairs Took their 14th loss of the season on the chin But got the number one pick, so kind of a win
Hottest team in the NBA, place your Finals bets Won 13 of 14, those pesky Brooklyn Nets The boys are on a roll more than halfway through the season Surely no way anything will change, no way for no reason
On Thursday, the Buffalo Bills announced Von Miller was headed towards the IR with a bum knee.
The team is hoping this isn’t the end of their best edge rusher for the season, and that he’ll be back for what Bills Mafia is hoping will be a deep playoff run. A minor setback for a major comeback, as they say.
While it is awful that we won’t see big number 40 out there for a month, that’s not really why we’re writing this blog. We are using this, as we will any opportunity, to remind you all of how bad Von Miller farts.
That’s right, he’s a habitual breaker of wind, a heinous back blaster, a brutal booty bomber…and he’s got the receipts to prove it.
A quick Google search shows THREE separate occasions in which Miller has been fined for his cheek squeaks. First in 2015 with the Broncos, the next year by his “Dancing with the Stars” partner, and became a repeat offender in Denver in 2018.
This dude is a hiney honking, britches burping, rear ripping maniac…and you have to appreciate the self confidence.
So here’s to a quick recovery for Von; and if he needs surgery, strong medical masks for his nurses.
Like real seasons, sports seasons come and go. We’re halfway home on the NFL season and almost done with college football. This week’s SSM is another celebration of that and more.

Everybody’s preseason MVP Josh Allen and Bills Mafia heading west to take on the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams, it doesn’t get any sweeter.
What a hors d’oeuvre for the rest of week one. With an absolute mega beginning to the season, we took the time and research to put together an all-inclusive list of things better than the NFL being officially back.
