  1. Past hour
  2. You reckon he's about as big as Kincaid? Mercenary. Git 'er done!!! (fruity nature show narrator) "a seasonal harbinger akin to the swallows returning to San Juan de Capistrano... his trademark dreadlocks flowing in the breeze..."
  3. Ronnie freakin' Harmon. I was 13 and my soul was crushed....
  4. Unfortunately for this thread, half their jersey numbers are covered up or cropped out haha
  5. You are probably accurate on his market value and the point is, either he wants to win and is willing to take a home team discount or he’s the greedy douche he looks like and is only looking to get paid. I’m sure he’ll look great in a Browns uniform next year.
  6. Well if you want to get into it, Revelation 21:2 states that Jesus is the “bridegroom” of the Church, consisting of all believers. The Vatican is simply the See of Rome. While it’s true that early Christian’s were persecuted, the Church still existed. Peter was the first Pope.
  7. the only unlisted consideration is cost they are both good but at the expense of perhaps a heavy role player elsewhere?
  8. It’s not, though! We can’t just redefine socialism to mean “any government economic interventionism that we don’t like” or “a centrally planned economy.” In Trump’s economy, the workers definitely don’t own the means of production. Corporate oligarchs still have all the power and control the flow of wealth generation. Moreover, I automatically distrust the motives of any neoliberal or libertarian author attempting to equate Trump’s economy with socialism. Most Americans still associate the social democratic policies of Bernie/AOC with that of “socialism,” and so the (inevitable) failure of Trump’s economy can then somehow be blamed on the Democratic Party’s progressive wing. It’s quite the predictable ploy we have grown to expect from our country’s corporate media! Let’s all be clear on how progressive tariffs would differ from Trumpian tariffs. A three-stage plan from progressives: 1. Carefully crafted prior labor regulations that foster an environment for competitive wage growth and healthy work conditions. 2. Keynesian stimulus packages to expedite foundational shovels-in-the-ground projects and workforce training (a good example: 2022 CHIPS Act). 3. Targeted tariffs applied to a specific and limited set of overseas industries (chosen for reasons like national security and domestic macroeconomic growth balance). And by comparison, a three-stage plan from Trump: 1. Broad tariffs imposed on every country and trade ally, with nonsensical and often exorbitant rates. 2. Nose picking as prices predictably soar and markets collapse. 3. Removal of tariff impositions, accompanied with braggadocious “art of the deal” claims. Two key reasons why you should have known all along that Trump was an economic charlatan: 1. He thinks trade “deficits” are inherently bad, as if this kind of deficit is in any way similar to a personal/family budgetary “deficit!” 2. He claims his tariffs are to be used for tax revenue generation, even though successfully applied tariffs are intended to do the exact opposite…INHIBIT international consumption of goods! Kay’s Super Profound Conclusion: So what’s REALLY going on here?? Well, some people in America are certainly benefiting from Trump’s economic machinations! In the progressive vernacular, these people are referred to as “corporate oligarchs.” Others will be much worse off, due to the regressive taxation effect of widespread price inflation on consumer goods (followed by macroeconomic contraction). Let’s call this group the “99%.” So now Little Susie gets 3 dolls for her birthday instead of 30, Little Joey gets 5 pencils for school instead of 250, and Commie Kay gets maybe only a few dozen Squishmallows (at most) for her new queen size bed instead of THOUSANDS. I think I speak for Susie and Joey when I say, “BLEEP you, MAGA Commies!!!”
  9. From a PBS interview last night. I couldn't agree more. Rev. Thomas Reese: Well, of course, he's been elected pope for the whole world, so he's got to deal with all the world, not just the United States. But because of his knowledge of the United States, I think he will be focused on it. What can we do to reach out to young people? How can we make the church more inviting? Pope Francis was wonderful, but the problem was everybody said to themselves, gee, I wish I had Pope Francis as my pastor. And then they would go into their parish and they often didn't find Pope Francis. So I think that what Pope Leo has to do is help the clergy in the United States get on board with the vision that Pope Francis has, and now the vision that Pope Leo is bringing to the church.
  10. You worry about the Maple Leafs seceding, we’ll worry about the Penguins.
  11. I do like the single digits on wr and secondary guys and I noticed that teams are starting to give kickers and punters terrible numbers. Bass's 2 would look much better on someone else. So would Shane Buechele's 6. I love LBs in the 50s and DL in the 90s
  12. We had the best in Peterman and let him walk away!
  13. Fixed it for you. It's all corrupt, the Vatican is no different. Humans mess things up, that's why we need God and the only way to Him is through Jesus.
  14. Another thread with a sky high RELIABLE score:
  15. Production for sure. The WR room has COMBINED for 2 seasons over 800 yards!! Please go through every single team in the league and tell me how many have less? The answer will almost certainly be 0. Shakir is the only guy that’s a top 50 WR in the NFL and he’s probably in the 30 range. If you were to draft every NFL WR start to finish he probably goes around 30 and they may not have another guy picked until 65 or later. There are 32 teams in the league. I’ll throw pedigree in as well. Moore was an early 2 but has disappointed to this point. Coleman was an early 2 but the 8th or 9th WR off the board in his own draft class. Did you he get pushed down because of the strength of the class or pushed up because of the run of them before the next tier dropped off? Palmer was a 3. Shakir was a 5. Samuel was a RB. The pedigree of the Bills WR room pales in comparison to pretty much every team. We went through early in the year using draft trade chart points and how many were allocated to WR. It’s incredibly low. Cooper doesn’t get a pass. He didn’t look like the player he was a year earlier. What, for some reason, is so difficult for you to understand, if the Bills passing game was WAY better in the games he played. You tried to spin that and then I posted the numbers. You then disappeared for 2 days because the truth exposed your narrative. The offense was way better with him. Period. Diggs’ numbers dipped. Diggs also had the best 4 year stretch a Bills receiver ever had. The passing game was better when he was here. There’s no doubt about that. He wasn’t the same player at the end, but if he walked through the door today, coming off the ACL, he’d be the number 1. I challenge you to find any metrics supporting the WRs not being bottom 5. 🤣🤣 There aren’t any other than hope. The OL is excellent. Brady is great. Josh Allen is the best player in football. The WRs are bad compared to other NFL WR groups. Why do you refuse to accept the truth? It doesn’t mean that the Bills can’t produce. Those other factors may be enough to overcome them. It was enough last year. Let’s hope it continues. As an aside, in the future, if you’re going to call someone a liar, please make sure that the numbers won’t tell a different story. You lost a lot of credibility on here trying to spin reality. Whether we agree or not, doesn’t matter. Don’t argue against facts!! The passing game with Cooper was way better than the passing game without. That’s how this whole conversation started. You said that didn’t happen. The numbers said it did.
  16. Sad. The products and/or services that Biden Inc was selling, that nobody can name, is just another victim of Trump's trade war I guess.
  17. look around American politics...
  18. My sister (give it up for my sistas) Give it up for my sistas Give it up for my sistas You're all I need Princess of the Nile, an' sweet black sexy child Ooh, I like your style, huh First mother on the planet, I know it's gettin' scary And all these wannabe pimps is all that ya meet But ya gotta shake 'em off like fleas an' n—— meat And use your God-given talents and abilities
  19. The answer to this question will always be the Chiefs to me until the Bills dethrone them when it matters.
  20. Where's all my soul sista's? Lemme hear y'all flow sista's Hey sista', go sista', soul sista', flow sista' (uh) Hey sista', go sista', soul sista', go sista' He met Marmalade down in old Moulin Rouge Struttin' her stuff on the street She said, "Hello, hey Joe! You wanna give it a go?" Oh! Uh-huh
  21. This is why it is impossible to have a discussion with you. You make subjective statements and act like they are objective constantly. All I really ask is that you are consistent. so, in the name of consistency, by what measure are the Bills a bottom 5 WR room? Pedigree? Production? Personal opinion? Player mix? Because it feels like you change the bar to suit whatever point you are trying to make and ignore evidence to the contrary that you will turn around and use in subsequent discussions if it suits you. if it is pedigree…the bills top 5 receivers were all drafted on day 2, except for Shakir (who is arguably their best wr and certainly their highest paid). if it is stats…I think it is fair to say that their individual performances last year weren’t very impressive statistically. No 1000 yard seasons and only a handful of 100 yard games. The only problem with this criticism is we brought in a top WR (cooper) and he struggled to produce too. So did Diggs after Brady took over. What I don’t understand is why Cooper and Diggs get a pass for the production dip, but the rest of our receivers have bad numbers because they are bad. I mean, Cooper was 4th on the team in snaps while he was here most weeks. what I am trying to say is, of course everyone wants better receivers. We want better players at every position. But what we continue to disagree about is what actually constitutes a better receiver and how much of an impact they would actually have on this offense. Because the best receivers are expensive AND they want the ball. So it stands to reason that better production from your number 1 might hurt you in other, unintended ways. I’ll close with an analogy…just because your car would be faster if you installed a supercharger on it doesn’t mean everyone should run out and install one. We get it, our car could be faster. But after you factor in things like cost, reliability, gas mileage, etc. it isn’t a fit for everyone.
  22. Today
  23. But, Chicago's other little known secret is "Chicago Thin Crust"... Cracker crust cut "tavern style."😉 Chicago's everyday pizza 🍕 https://blog.slicelife.com/move-over-deep-dish-thin-crust-is-the-real-pizza-of-chicago/
  24. The guy who represents an entity that throughout history has been corrupt, power hungry, started wars, hoarded riches, covered up sexual and physical abuses, telling others that if you don't go through them then you are not going to heaven is pretty arrogant and funny. In fact Jesus says that HE is the only way to heaven (John 14:6). He didn't say anything about the Vatican which is a completely separate entity created by the Romans aka the people who killed Jesus and the disciples and thousands of the early christians. If anything there is way more evidence that the Vatican has hijacked the name of Jesus for their own financial gain and is likely not the way to heaven but that is for people to decide for themselves "in their own way."
