it actually makes a good says dent. $6.9 trillion in 10 years. 6,900 billion = 6.9 trillion, right?

We've got a 9 month old half Golden/half Bernese named Raina June. Raina because my wife loves Mt Rainier and June because it makes her initials RJ for a good friend that I lost. And when she is in trouble she gets her full name; Raina June Carter Cash.

Keon wasn't the same player after injury. Not the same level of intensity nor effectiveness. The coach and GM both publicly stated this.

If we trade AJ it will be before the trade deadline to free up a spot for Hoecht. -
Calvin was already named Calvin when we got him at 6 weeks. We liked it. Emery showed up in our back yard and wouldn't leave. My stepdaughters named her Emery, and I got to give her her middle name. All black cat, so she's Emery Cygnus. Chloe was named Punkin when we rescued her from 10 Lives Club. We didn't like Punkin but kept it as her middle name. Chloe was a group decision. Millie and Maggie were already named that when we rescued them. We were told they were a bonded pair, but there's no bond between them lol. We didn't mind Millie and Maggie. And Riley our dog was actually named Recon. I mean he's a Staffie so I get why Recon, but we were going to rename him. We wanted to keep something similar, so we went with Riley. My stepdaughter said Cooper went well with Riley, so he's called Riley Cooper. No affiliation to the former Eagles WR.

Will anyone admit to becoming a Bills fan during the Josh Allen era?

I became a Bills fan because of OJ. Born on LI and then growing up in NJ I should have been a Jets fan. Dad was a diehard Jets fan who bought season tickets in Namath's rookie year. I was going to the games at Shea, Giants Stadium, and now MetLife. Don't care for the Jets. Never did and never will. OJ was my favorite player as a kid and that is why I bleed Bills blue. -
They worked out the broad strokes a few weeks ago, and are working out the fine details now. Are you claiming the deal is dead and won't shape the future supply chain and manufacturing base of our country and India over the next decade? If so please go on the record right now and say there will never be a US / India trade alliance. Or are you doing that thing where you you deny reality and then claim victory?

Born in Cheektowaga in 1964. Pretty much watched what dad would watch, which, in the '70's, was Hee-Haw, Star Trek, Kung Fu, Lawrence Welk, and the Sabres. After our family left for TX in 1977, it was then the Cowboys & Oilers. I didn't start following the Bills until the end of the 1987 season, at my dad's suggestion. After finishing college in fall of '89, moved back to Buffalo and stayed until the summer of 1995 so I was there for the Super Bowl years.

I've been working in the motion picture industry in Los Angeles for over 30 years. In that time, have worked on numerous documentaries, and reality TV shows, including a season on Big Brother, and three seasons of Hell's Kitchen, which employed around 65 cameras. And I can tell you that I have zero concern that Hard Knocks will have some negative impact on the Bills' training camp, practices, or development as a team. Here are some elements of production that I would fully expect: Every area of the Bills facility that HK will want to film will be pre-rigged to be as concealed as possible. There will be some lighting, and microphones rigged into the ceilings, but they will be low-profile. They will want 360˚ of access, without any production equipment in any of the shots. I would assume there will also be quite a few robotic cameras rigged around the facilities. These are similar to security cameras, but a little larger. There will likely be a few pre-lit interview areas. They will be out of the way, and private. Mobile camera crews will be very small-- probably three people, camera, sound, and production assistant. They will go out of their way to be as inconspicuous as possible. They will have low-profile headsets, and receive direction via radio. The director, producers, and robotic camera operators, sound engineers, etc., will be in a couple high-tech mobile production trailers, and few people in the Bills organization will ever see them. The director, and producers will not engineer, or gin up any drama, or conflict. Even on a conflict-driven show like Hell's Kitchen, the dramas occur organically. Such dramas are nurtured, of course. But that won't happen on Hard Knocks. Plot lines on the show will not be scripted. Even on a show like Big Brother, the closest they will come to scripting the show is to ask leading questions, and then ask the contestants to include the question subject in their answers. (example: Q: "How do you feel about Shiela?" A: "I'm angry with Shiela.") Personally, I can't wait for this show. And if anyone is upset with Hard Knocks being around the Bills, they should probably also be upset over the Embedded series, which, as a much lower-budget production, was probably more visible to the players than Hard Knocks will be.

The fake news craze went mainstream with Hillary's Russia collusion hoax. The democrats are still getting residual hype from the reruns without ever being able to confirm and prove anything. Just by following the practice of repeating a lie over and over until people believe it. So how stupid are liberals?

My Dad is from Buffalo so i inherited the Bills, even though I never lived in Buffalo myself. My vaguest and earliest Bills memories were seeing Jim Kelly in his later years. I remember seeing Bills QBs after him and noticing a huge difference in how they threw the ball. His throws were so much prettier. But I really didn't become a fan until I was a little older in the Doug Flutie / Rob Johnson era. And then we entered the drought, so that was the bulk of my fandom until the McDermott era. I think I've earned my stripes. There are a lot of young fans coming up and it isn't their fault that they are growing up in a great era to be Bills fans. I'm sure they will stick with the team just like most did who were coming up in the 90s superbowl years.
