  1. Past hour
  2. Well yeah, at the federal level, but California issues cultivation licenses. I don’t think the Feds can outmuscle the states on this matter. I could be wrong, though. I’m only really familiar with the disaster that is NYSOCM. It’s a bad look to be sure. But when Tom Scott is openly saying he’s going to give agents the green light to spill protestors’ blood, people are only going to double down. Is there evidence they were “trafficked” or were they simply unaccompanied, as the news has reported? The raid on the farm was also horribly planned and executed. Sloppy.
  3. Nicely said!! We don’t live far away from Tahoe, and Wednesday was our first time going, it is now going to be a yearly thing for us, unbelievable how awesome the Allen family is!! Seems like a good place to share a few pics from our experience.
  4. In fairness, we all needed lots of draughts to get through the drought.
  5. Happy Birthday @Alphadawg7 ! Great story
  6. I won't edit it out because I will just say it's a beer pun.
  7. Love this my son and I also loved meeting him at RX3 event. we go every year now. He's all about the children and I love that .... he's by far the best roll model I've ever seen in the nfl.
  8. There is a reason why X doesn't want you to see this. https://x.com/AntiTrumpCanada/status/1278818127447568390
  9. Funny enough, the NFL Network just replayed the 2015 Playoff Game between the Panthers and Seahawks. Panthers were up 31-0 at the half when I turned it on. Before I knew it, it was 31-24 and Seahawks were still in it but botched their onside kick at the end. It all felt very familiar with McDermott as DC. Some things will NEVER change. This will always be an issue for the Bills with McD. Just hope Josh can cover for McD every time.
  10. And worst location? Short form - family friends from Buffalo. I got in Bills first sport second if that makes sense.
  11. Trump is dismantling America’s intellectual strength and global power. Why? Because a less informed, divided nation is easier to control. By undermining education and truth, he consolidates power. Who benefits? Authoritarians, grifters, and foreign enemies all thriving as America weakens. American greatness, right @Big Blitz
  12. The cannabis laws are, and have always been silly to say the least. As far as migrant labor goes you're 100% correct, both parties have been talking out both sides of their faces for decades. Neither have clean hands.
  13. 80% tariff please. They are so selfish.
  14. Nice story. Good on you, Josh. I get it. Famous people get a little tired of being bothered all the time. So we appreciate it when a hero actually appears grateful. There used to be a PGA tournament near where I lived. I attended a couple of them. Here's what impressed me: Greg Norman was reaching the end of his competitive days. He was making a little run for maybe the last time. People were trying to follow him hole to hole. And all it took was a little nod, a little smile, a little wave, a little acknowledgment from him that his fans were there. And he did it. Just the smallest gesture was all he needed to get the love of the crowd. I think Vijay Singh won that year. He wasn't rude in any way, just generally immune to the crowd. No acknowledgment at all. And he basically had no fans. It doesn't take much...
  15. Those greedy people in Lesotho are sending us all these diamonds and denim but not buying anything from us with their $2 per day income! Once we figure this out, next will be the trade deficit with my grocery store. I buy things from them every week but they have never bought anything from me!
  16. 2018 when the Rams rolled Todd Gurley who got injured, Malcolm Brown who got injured, John Kelly who got injured, and signed CJ Anderson off his sofa who came in and played awesome convinced me the value of running backs maybe isn't so high above replacement. I feel like the list of RBs who've done well after big contracts is basically Saquon and Adrian Peterson maybe and that's it. Though I'm sure I'm forgetting some. Cook is a good player, but I just don't think at the RB position one player has enough added value over their backup to be worth a lot of the team's salary cap.
  17. Same here. I didn't even bother watching all of it.
  18. The larger picture: - WTF are we doing with cannabis. It is readily available - in a store - where most people live. Yet it remains federally controlled. Neither party is willing to get ahead of the issue and just federally legalize/regulate it. This system is absurd. - Growing lettuce, tomatoes, artichokes, cannabis in the USA depends on cheap labor. Cheap labor means immigrants. WTF are we doing in America where we both encourage and discourage immigrant labor. Neither party is willing to face reality. Broken government. Umm, yeah.
  19. Are you even from NY state? Most New Yorkers know this: the state’s economy is deeply tied to Canada whether MAGA likes it or not. Canada is New York’s #1 trading partner, fueling billions in exports like medical instruments, jewelry, aluminum, and business services. Over 80% of NYC’s fuel oil and natural gas imports come from Canada. Canadian tourists are essential to local economies, especially in border regions, like Buffalo Niagara, where their absence is immediately felt. Canada also plays a major role in investment, owning significant portions of NYC real estate and employing thousands across the state and vice versa, with plenty of New Yorkers owning land and property in Canada. And when it comes to energy? New York literally relies on Canadian hydroelectricity to keep the lights on. From trade to tourism to energy, New York doesn’t just benefit from Canada it depends on it. Keep it up, Lenny. Maybe someone’s buying it.
  20. In this spirit of this thread, I wonder who is the worst hero to get fisted by? Probably Andre the Giant.
  21. He was inspired by the 3-13 season under Gregg Williams and the Van Pelt/Johnson QB debate. He's told this story a 1,000 times.
  22. Yes, they are. I don’t know how well-versed you are in the intricacies of the NBA, but most teams with reasonable ownership operate extremely close to the margins. For the 27-28 Bucks, they will have 4 players under contract in TOTAL and only $12M in cap space. They have to get to a roster of at least 13. Now they have access to mid level exceptions, but it’s basically a slot where they can’t pay anybody. Is it the worst thing in the world? No. Can they work around it? They are going to try. Is having basically a starter’s salary in dead money for the next 5 years objectively very bad for a small market franchise with a marquee superstar? Yes, of course. In a league with the most injuries, and the most to potentially lose with guaranteed contracts, yes I am arguing it would be bad for the NFL at large. It would be bad for the franchises and bad for the players and bad for the fans. Well, yeah. Players are getting asked to take pay cuts because they aren’t performing well enough. Their agents are evaluating the market and saying “no one else is going to pay you more than your requested pay cut, so you are better off taking it.” They aren’t just guessing. Josh Allen hasn’t been asked for a pay cut and won’t be as long as he keeps performing well. Dawson Knox and Von Miller have both taken pay cuts because their production hasn’t justified their salaries and they didn’t want to test their luck on the open market. Von is notably on the couch. Star took his paycut and was out the league. It’s not like they took a pay cut and got screwed out of a years salary because other teams wanted to pay him big bucks. To me, these statements are in conflict. How can teams be more careful in UFA and NOT be hesitant to spend? That seems to go hand in hand. And what players hit UFA? Not the superstars, they get locked up or tagged. It’s the NFL middle and lower classes who are desperately trying to get a $5M deal with $2.5M guaranteed. Guaranteeing contracts at this point in the NFL requires putting an entire guaranteed portion in escrow. We have seen teams like the Bengals and Cowboys be hesitant to pay their SUPERSTARS on time. The Bengals are notoriously cash poor. They have 37% of their cap tied up in QB and WR and it was a struggle to get there. Do you think having to dole out the other at least 63% in guarantees is going to be a problem? Of course it would be. And it would be a problem for the majority of the league. I don’t think folks realize how much money ISN’T guaranteed in the NFL. You can’t flip that switch and do a complete 180 without completely fundamentally altering the market and if you try, you will end up with a whole bunch of teams handing out league minimums left and right. If contracts are fully guaranteed, does a Devin Singletary type player get $5M on the market or league minimum? I think we all know the answer to that. I’m not viewing anyone as a problem. There is no problem. The players are making more money than ever. Threatening a strike to get guaranteed contracts that will ultimately, imo, harm the earnings of the vast majority of NFL players, is just bad business. Make less money with a shortened season and make less money overall is exactly what the NFLPA shouldn’t do.
  23. Hey Gunner, how did you ever get into American football and more specifically the Buffalo Bills?
