If you’re unable to effectively communicate with an individual you disagree with, you likely need to improve your communication skills. Part of your challenge in this case seems to be you’re starting with a rigid ideological position, you’re closed-minded, and unwilling to even consider the perspective of the other party. You also seem to have a complete disregard for the other person’s occupation, which is unusual. Do you have issues with all painters? Try respect as a default. Open your ears, close your mouth. Ask probing questions. Be purposeful in seeking out common ground. Disagree agreeably. This will get you started.

Those are fun.

I have been listening very carefully to that very loud silence. https://www.si.com/nfl/chiefs/rashee-rice-update-on-potential-suspension- It's almost like the criminal case will drag out until his career is over. A bit hard for me to understand how the league can pretend to care about its image but let that guy on the field. https://www.footballguys.com/article/2025-rashee-rice-jordan-addison-legal-updates "We're busy, Man"

His calves are like twice the size of Cybo's. It's like man, don't get calf cramps Dion they'd be extra with calves like that.

Have we figured out why that bystander died? Was it a fake bystander, fake bullet, how did that go again?

So you're pro-mask or anti-mask? Seems you're complaining about both in this thread. Eh, never mind. You're just deeply unhappy.

Sorry for the bump but I am having a rare quiet work day and was starting to turn my mind to some bold predictions for 2025 when I realised we didn't ever tie a bow on the 2024 edition..... Personally I only nailed one in 2024 - which was: - The Bills to trade away a day two pick in the 2025 NFL Draft for a wide receiver prior to the trade deadline; I had a few others that were in the ballpark - Justin Fields did do enough to be a starter in 2025 just not for the Steelers, and Rasul Douglas did look washed by the end of the season but Elam was still worse. I've just been through and counted up successes. Congrats to @major called THREE: 1. Raiders win 4 games; 2. Texans win their division; and 3. Eagles win their division. However, given that two of those were just predicting a division winner, I'm giving the prize this year to @NoHuddleKelly12 who also correctly nailed THREE and was extremely close to FIVE correct. As a reminder his predictions were: Non-Bills: -Purdy regresses and 9ers won’t make it out of the wild card round this year; CORRECT (they didn't even get to the wildcard but Purdy did regress and they didn't make it past the wild card) -Jets will field a heroic march to 6-11, Saleh will be done on or by Black Monday; ALMOST CORRECT (the Jets went 5-12 and Saleh was done long before Black Monday) -Texans will grab the #2 seed but won’t make it to the AFCCG; INCORRECT (they didn't make the AFCCG but they also weren't the #2 seed) -Watson will not play a full season in Cleveland. CORRECT Bills: -Josh takes MVP this season; CORRECT -Curtis Samuel will lead the team in catches, yards and receiving TDs.; INCORRECT -Von will play in no more than 10 games; INCORRECT -Hyde will be back with the team in some capacity no later than Week 13. ALMOST CORRECT (he actually joined on the Monday of Week 14) A reminder to get your thinking caps on chaps.... next year's Bolds thread will be out in a few weeks.

There are MULTIPLE threads on here titled some variation of “Left Wing Lib Meltdowns”

So you want to wave a Ukrainian flag AND an Iranian one? That'll be confusing on your Facebook page.

I've been here a VERY long time. My first connections were with a dial-up 9600 baud modem in Summer of 1996. My previous user names were lost when SDS upgraded the forum software. There were (are) some real characters back in the early days. I remember some trolls named Combo, Ice, and maybe a HogBoy. They have thankfully disappeared. Of course, who can forget the infamous Belinda.

People who shop Whole Foods buy iceberg lettuce? I think that's the real headline here!

Exactly my point there, sport.

At first I thought that was AOC, she's put on some pounds.

8 years? Only 8 years? 24 years here and one of the few non-mods/admin who can say that. @KOKBILLS is the only person here who has met me in person I think, and that was over 32 years ago (F!!!!) back in the days of our enjoyment of lavish buffets at the Township Grille Matthews, NC Bills Backers! Those were the days.... GO BILLS!

Dion is handful, and a genuinely nice person. I'm happy he is the second highest paid player on the Bills. Seen from this viewpoint. the stadium is AWESOME. I can't wait for the opening. He sat in one. His butt fit but his torso overflowed to the seats next to him.

He has caused so many issues for other people without any remorse for his actions. Pain, suffering, financial, property damage, the list goes on and on. He’s scum and deserves everything he’s getting.

"Son," she said, "have I got a little story for you What you thought was your daddy was nothing but a… While you were sitting home alone at age thirteen Your real daddy was dyin' Sorry you didn't see him, but I'm glad we talked" Oh, I, oh, I'm still alive Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive Hey, oh, oh-oh

banning books you say

Pink pop rocks ain’t cheap.

No because the initial reporting is always by far the most important. Media will continue to spin any mea culpas at best or just plain ignore their own false reporting and leave it sitting out there uncorrected at worst. The reliable media full well knows the initial story is far more damaging and permanent than any later "correcting" will fix. A few examples: To this day you still have people who believe that Trump called neo Nazis and white nationalists very fine people when in reality he specifically condemned both groups. You even had Biden and Obama citing this long debunked lie during the 2024 campaign. Another example is the original made up story used to justify the censoring of the accurate Hunter laptop reporting in October 2020 is STILL up and uncorrected to this very day here: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/19/hunter-biden-story-russian-disinfo-430276 The reporter that authored the above story? Natasha Bertrand. The author of the leaked intelligence reporting casting doubt on the success of operation midnight hammer? Natasha Bertrand.

I migrated here cause the actual BBMB was a steaming pile of dung, ya dig?

Coming up on being here, on this board, for 20 years now. It has been my go-to for all things Bills in that time. I feel more informed about our team reading everything here, versus trying to piece things together outside of this website. Been a part of a lot of great discussions with a lot of great people. Seen a lot of great people come and go on here. Had a lot of laughs and even shed a few tears. Wouldn't trade this message board, and the people on it, for any other.

Josh still holds it longer than almost any other QB would get away with. But he gets away with it because he is elite at getting away from the pressure that inevitably comes when you are holding it that long and he makes big plays down the field in scramble situations better than anyone since peak Packers Aaron Rodgers around 2012-2016. My worry a bit still with this offense is that a high percentage of our explosive pass plays last year came from Josh creating outside of the design of the scheme. He had more quick button easy throws to keep the offense on schedule last year than any season since 2020 - with that and the effective run game Josh had to do much LESS than in 2021, 2022 and 2023 to just make the offense function efficiently. But he did not have a ton of explosives that worked by design. Some of that falls on Brady to scheme them up better but he was calling them and I still think a LOT of it comes from the lack of vertical separation guys. Hopefully Josh Palmer makes a difference there. Because as much fun as Josh extending plays then hitting a Knox or a Taron Johnson on a big gain down the field is.... I'm not sure it's a sustainable way to live for your explosive pass plays.

Really? Buffalo716 was being sincere.
