  1. Past hour
  2. Coverage is determined at the time of the alleged act. His current insurance coverage as an NFL player will deny coverage. The question is whether Mom and Dad's insurance carrier will cover his alleged act while visiting the college. Or, if you want bigger pockets, whether University of Kentucky should have taken better steps to protect students (like the plaintiff) from football recruits visiting the campus.
  3. Yeah, it definitely looks like they're going after the bigger guys. I hope it is one of the factors that gets this team glued together. I don't mind one or two of the small, speedy guys, but you can't build a roster around that. They need some bigger guys that can compete one-on-one. The Bills seem to be doing the same thing, particularly at the receiver and TE spots.
  4. Have We Reached Late-Stage Climate Hysteria? A United Nation’s report issued last month calls for the criminalization of spreading “disinformation and misinformation” about global warming. Is it the desperate act of a dying crusade – or business as usual for the climate fanatics? While our hope is the former, it’s more likely the latter. According to Elisa Morgera, the U.N. special rapporteur on climate change, governments should “criminalize misinformation and misrepresentation (greenwashing) by the fossil fuel industry” as well as “criminalize media and advertising firms for amplifying disinformation and misinformation by fossil fuel companies.” This is disturbing. Who gets to decide what is “disinformation and misinformation”? We’ve already seen, thanks to COVID-19, that the meaning of those words is determined exploitatively by the ruling class and the loudest voices, not by any objective means. Just the News quotes experts who say the call for criminalization shows a growing desperation among the climate alarmists. Given that global warming has cooled off considerably as a pressing issue for the public, this rings true. Yet demanding that skeptics be arrested and tried is not a fresh fantasy for the eco-fascists. They’ve been dreaming about a 21st-century inquisition of those who hold dissenting views (the Galileos of our time?) for more than a decade: Examples at the link https://issuesinsights.com/2025/07/07/have-we-reached-late-stage-climate-hysteria/
  5. Taking a deeper dive into the results, the Sabres played 30 games where they scored 2 goals or less. They won 1. They played 52 games where they scored 3 or more and lost 17, winning the other 35. In contrast, the Stanley Cup winners played 33 games where they scored 2 goals or less and won 6. They only lost 8 of their 49 games when scoring 3 or more, winning the other 41. Are we winning a 2-1 game with the additions on defense? Or are we going to close out some 3 to 2 games?
  6. I want to trade what we have for magic beans. They're magic!
  7. Apparently not those living in Philadelphia... UP to Auckland? Where were you, Antarctica? 🙃
  8. A generality. Sad. Please tell me more about a proper alert system not being in place and the relation to budget reductions.
  9. The fact that anyone is making this about politics is disguising. Also Cuts to the NWS have nothing to do with this, there was warnings. And even prior to the cuts, how many times have the NWS inaccurately predicted storms, happens multiple times a year. This happening in the overnight/early morning hours played a huge part as well. The only thing that would have really helped is if the county had sirens to give an audible warning.
  10. It comes down to this: Do you believe that the Bills' problem are deep and systemic, and no amount of personnel turnover will fix them? - or - Do you believe that the Bills' formula is good enough to get them to the doorstep of the Super Bowl every year, and they keep being just a play or two away from getting there? If you believe the former, then you probably agree with this article. If you believe the latter, then you probably don't agree with the article. If you believe the former, you likely want some combination of Beane and McDermott gone, and you want a shiny new head coach and/or GM. If you believe the latter, you just keep trying to add talent and "keep trying to kick the door down", as one NFL executive put it to Beane last year. Which side are you on? That's the big question.
  11. 100%. I think he could make the WR much better. Shakir Moore Coleman Palmer Samuel Claypool Yes that's 6. But that is a hell of a WR room.
  12. I agree with every word of this and I'm grateful for Beane and McD. And yet, we still don't have a Lombardi. As Shaw66 says, this is a seriously good football team. And that's both a joy and a problem. Good is the enemy of great, as they say, and we're not great. We've never begun a season as the best team in the NFL, or even the AFC. There are always concerning injuries and/or roster holes, not to mention some questions about the coaching staff. So what do you do with a GM/HC who win lots of games but no trophies? Say thank you and hope for next year? Replace them with guys who - odds are - wouldn't be as good? It's a conundrum. I'll say this... Every year with Beane and McD, we have a legit chance. For 17 prior years, we had no chance at all. I like having a chance, so I'll roll with them. But I do wish each of them was just a little bit better.
  13. Problem is that pesky sexual abuse scandal taints everything like Joe Paterno... sorry, but those platitudes go out the window because Jim Jordan said NOT A THING as sexual abuse happened right under his nose.
  14. Yes. Paying it with depreciated dollars that buy much less in an high inflation environment. Or in a deflationary post-default economy if monetary authorities do the unexpected and don't address the situation with the customary flood of money creation. My guess is the former as allowing an outright default crashes financial markets and real estate. In this case we can pretend everyone is still nominally well off even if a Big Mac costs $25.
  15. Simple. Despite nothing changing.... If Biden / Harris POTUS = proper. Orange menace POTUS = improper.
  16. Or defense which we Bills fans unfortunately know all too well
  17. Went to the movies with the family yesterday. The woke angle was blatantly obvious in the preview for Superman.
  18. Boone should be replaced but let's not forget about Cashman. He deserves his share of the blame for this as well. The pitching has been awful.
  19. I've been in or through Asheville several times since Helene. The rebuilding has been consistently slow under both. The devastation is severe and will take many years to repair. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/22/trump-fema-north-carolina-hurricane-helene-00352614 The allegations spurred anger toward Biden, but FEMA’s statistics show no significant uptick in aid since Trump’s inauguration. As of April 22, the agency had given nearly $432 million of assistance to 158,600 households in North Carolina, $100 million of which came under Trump, FEMA said in a statement. FEMA also obligated nearly $459 million in public assistance to repair infrastructure in North Carolina, including $138 million under Trump. Meanwhile, Trump’s FEMA has halted $10 billion in disaster relief funds intended to help people across the country, cut off housing assistance for thousands of Helene survivors and ended a policy of fully reimbursing the state of North Carolina for debris removal. Now, in further evidence of how political attacks can create a reality of their own, Trump officials are using FEMA’s struggles in western North Carolina as a rationale to dismantle the agency. “I think we’re going to recommend that FEMA go away,” Trump said during a January visit to Asheville to survey the damage shortly after taking office.
