Many people under 25 also have type 2 diabetes or other underlying conditions that would make them candidates to get the vaccine Quack. Also the mortality data is useless as they counted people who died with covid just the same as people who died from covid or covid complications. Garbage in, garbage out. Which was the entire point.

McDermott is a better regular season coach, and a substantially better post season coach. Schottenheimer had a .278 win percentage in the playoffs. Its fine if you dont like McDermott but he is a lot closer to Jim Harbaugh than he is Schottenheimer. At least make a fair comparison to make your point. I get he hasnt won the Superbowl, but its ignorant to discount how good he has been otherwise.

I assure you that YOU don’t want to do that. -
But like you said, reports are that they are close, and it sounds like we're near the Williams deal... So it's about to be on Beane to step up and make it $11.5M or $12M or whatever slight difference there is and get it done. Doesnt sound from any report that Cook is holding strong at $15M. Big Baller Beane needs to be Bridge Builder Beane if we're this close.

Victor Davis Hanson's Truth Bombs
B-Man replied to BillsFanNC's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Goodbye to DEI, crushed by the weight of its own hypocrisies by Victor Davis Hanson President Donald Trump’s executive orders banning diversity, equity and inclusion-related racial and gender preferencing have ostensibly doomed the DEI industry. But DEI was already on its last legs. Half of all Americans no longer approve of racial, ethnic or gender preferences. DEI had enjoyed a surge following the death of George Floyd and the subsequent 120 days of nonstop rioting, arson, assaults, killings and attacks on law enforcement during the summer of 2020. In those chaotic years, DEI was seen as the answer to racial tensions. {snip} Yet almost immediately, contradictions and hypocrisies undermined DEI. First, how does one define “diverse” in an increasingly multiracial, intermarried, assimilated and integrated society? DNA badges? The old one-drop rule of the antebellum South? Superficial appearance? To establish racial or ethnic proof of being one-sixteenth, one-fourth, or one-half “non-white,” employers, corporations and universities would have to become racially obsessed genealogists. Yet refusing to become racial auditors also would allow racial and ethnic fraudsters — like Sen. Elizabeth Warren and the would-be mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani — to go unchecked. Warren falsely claimed Native American heritage to leverage a Harvard professorship. Mamdani, an immigrant son of wealthy Indian immigrants from Uganda, tried to game his way into college by claiming he was African American. Second, in 21st-century America, class became increasingly divergent from race. Mamdani, who promises to tax “affluent” and “whiter” neighborhoods at higher rates, is himself the child of Indian immigrants, the most affluent ethnic group in America. Why would the children of Barack Obama, Joy Reid or LeBron James need any special preferences, given the multimillionaire status of their parents? In other words, one’s superficial appearance no longer necessarily determines one’s income or wealth, nor defines “privilege” or lack thereof. Third, DEI is often tied to questions of “reparations.” The current white majority supposedly owes other particular groups financial or entitlement compensation for the sins of the past. Yet in today’s multiracial and multiethnic society, in which over 50 million residents were not born in the United States and many have only recently arrived, what are the particular historical or past grievances that would earn anyone special treatment? What injustices can recent arrivals from southern Mexico, South Korea or Chad claim, knowing little about, and experiencing no firsthand bias from, Americans, the United States, or its history? Is the DEI logic that when a Guatemalan steps one foot across the southern border, she is suddenly classified as a victim of white oppression and therefore entitled to preferences in hiring or employment? Fourth, does the word “minority” still carry any currency? In today’s California, the demography breaks down as 40% Latino, 34% white, 16% Asian American or Pacific Islander, 6% black, and 3% Other — with no significant majority and fewer whites than the Latino “minority.” Are Latinos the new de facto “majority” and “whites” just one of the four other “minorities?” Do the other minorities, then, have grievances against Latinos, given that they are the dominant population in the state? Fifth, when does DEI “proportional representation” apply, and when does it not? Are whites “overrepresented” among the nation’s university faculties, reportedly 75% white, when they comprise only about 70% of the population? Or, are whites “underrepresented” as college students, making up just 55% of them, and thus in need of DEI action to bump up their numbers? Black athletes are vastly overrepresented in lucrative and prestigious professional sports. To correct such asymmetries, should Asians and Hispanics be given mandated quotas for quarterback or point-guard positions to ensure proper athletic “diversity, equity and inclusion”? Sixth, DEI determines good and bad prejudices, as well as correct and incorrect biases. “Affinity” segregationist graduations — black, Hispanic, Asian and gay — are considered “affirming”. But would a similar affinity graduation ceremony for European-Americans or Jews be considered “racist”? Is a Latino-themed, de facto segregated house on a California campus considered “enlightened,” while a European-American dorm would be condemned as incendiary? In truth, DEI long ago became corrupt, falling apart under the weight of its own paradoxes and hypocrisies. It is a perniciously divisive idea — unable to define who qualifies for preference or why, who is overrepresented or not, or when bias is acceptable or unjust. And it is past time that it goes away. https://nypost.com/2025/08/10/opinion/goodbye-to-dei-crushed-by-the-weight-of-its-own-hypocrisies/ -

I've learned that Dane Jackson didn't get any better and Dion only plays well in pre-season when Josh is in. -
I don't get why you spend a high pick on a guy to "set the edge". You need pass rushers 1st

Never broken a bone or had stiches. (other than a broken nose or toe that just healed on its own) Never smoked pot. Never been wrong. -
But the had Billy B🤷♂️

Id be shocked if they franchise tagged him. And I’m sorry, but this premise of saying the Bills just need to swallow whatever Cook wants and get it done is ridiculous. Maybe the Bills are only offering like 8M per, and ok, if that’s the case I get it. But with reports that the two sides are somewhat close, it sounds like we’re around the Kyren Williams deal, which is absolutely fair. If he wants more than that.. cool.. I don’t want to trade him for a pick that won’t help us this year, but if we could player for player trade him.. I’m all in on that right now.

Rousseau never really got home in college or during rookie deal. He is who we drafted.

So it should be clear we won’t get there rushing 4

Never thought I’d ever get to see a MAGA who claimed to have “dOnE tHEiR oWn reSeArCh” in real time! WOW!! 😂😂😂 You’re arguing with a medical professional but because one of the classes he took wasn’t recent enough for your uneducated self, you disclaim him. I’m certain he’s basically saying “take immunology 101” and that he has more knowledge in his pinky than on all the conspiracy sites/twitter accounts you follow. I suppose you think since that geriatric conspiracy theory-laden creep BillsFanNC calls him a quack that you just follow along like a little sheep. This is one of the - amongst a list a mile long - most uneducated posts in PPP history.

I don't think we ever won a pre season game during the Marv Levy era... If we did, it was extremely rare. We are dooooomed. lol -
George Wilson who played and started for the Bills was one of those... I would say you would need a very good understanding of football concepts in general and a strong ability to think at a very high level, as well as limited physical skills that prevent you from being a good enough WR but would allow you to be a good Safety. However you would have to have good athleticism overall even if it isn't good enough in a single area. Most players don't have that combination of traits to be able to pull that off and the ones that do usually are good enough physically that they never would have to make that switch. It's a very niche ability for a player to have and possible that coaching staffs wouldn't want to spend the time or energy trying to convert a player also.
