Brock Bowers?

Unless the groom's friends spoil it by booking some prostitutes through a gay pimp they met in Chicago while looking for the a wedding dress maker.

From the thread title this event checked three boxes: Trans, Illegal immigration, Hamas

"Bishop isn't tough enough" "Kincaid is too skinny" May and June are dry times at the TSW watering hole.

Any leftist scum going to chime in on this one.... RoundyMao? How about Finding or LDD about reliable media reporting?

Exactly, and would add Pitts over three years only caught 55% of his targets, and hasn’t improved after his rookie year. In Kinkaid’s case he’s never had knee problems prior to last year, but admitted this summer he had knee injuries to both knees and tried playing through it. He also had more receptions for a TE his rookie year than any Buffalo Bill in 65 years.

Just looking at how the NFL navigated the COVID year was damn impressive. The fact that he got all those games in was a miracle imo.

You are entitled to do that. Spend your time as you wish. But you are in the minority. TV viewing numbers remain very strong. There was a very slight dip in 2024 from the record high in 2023 but well within the margin of normal variance.

Good point. Although film schedules are generally slightly more flexible than the NFL calendar which is fixed.

First, it's not the "psyche of the Bills fan base." It's just not. It's the psyche of a significant portion of them, yes. And it goes something like one of those scenes from the original Star Trek where the actors are all trying to synchronize throwing themselves from side to side on the set as if they're all being battered by huge explosions and Captain Kirk is spitting out, to nobody, his thoughts, "Must ... reach ... the phase shift ... dilithium ... button ... reverse the polarity ... find ... scapegoat ... blame Bills losses ... pitchforks ..." This is one of the most common, basic ways to handle loss and disappointment among human beings. And most of the time it doesn't make sense. It's just the comfortable response. It's not "everyone" who knows the defense is a "fraud." It's mostly a small group of very sad people. Who mistake the inability to stop one sensational offense with the greatest QB since Brady, a guy who's likely to enter the GOAT conversation, with being bad. They certainly weren't good enough last year. But overall, the past four years before that they were damn good. And again, they have actually been damned effective in the playoffs. Except against the Chiefs. You're right, it's not just you. But it's closer to "just you" than it is to "everyone."

And the playoffs too. It's only against the Chiefs during the playoffs we've had consistent problems. Damn it. Oh, my God! Yes!!!!! This!!!! It's easy to forget. Thanks for the much-needed reminder.

This is my best guess also, but if Hailee starts shooting a movie sometime soon ... Her schedule, like his, has dates where she absolutely must be there. And plenty of unscheduled time also. I'm sure her schedule will also have to be considered.

Nobody cares anymore about regular season

Fair point. I think it depends on the seriousness of the accusation. I didn't expect OJ Simpson to have a press conference following the murder accusations saying "yeah, I take full responsibility for murdering my wife and that waiter. I'll learn from it." If it's something as minor as this though I'd have more respect for a player if he just said, "Yup. Got injured and wanted to get back on the field as quick as possible because I only have a short time to build potentially generational wealth." I'd respect him more. Plus, it would be easier for him to sleep at night.

COUP!! lol

I feel like this is a thing parents tell their kids for some reason that has absolutely no evidence of being true in reality. From every example I've seen both those directly involving me directly and those involving others, admitting guilt almost never proves to be a beneficial choice. Not only do you guarantee punishment, but your public perception is damaged forever. Not once in my entire life have I ever heard a person say, well, he [did poorly perceived thing], but because he admitted it I'll stand in his corner. Deflect, Deny, Deflect to the bitter end unless you're getting a hell of a deal to do otherwise. When you refuse to admit guilt, you get several benefits. 1. You can potentially evade punishment. 2. some people will believe you or will be skeptical enough to not want you crucified for it, and related to that, your legacy is nowhere near as stained as if you admit it in the first place which can have sever implications both reputational and financial.

I just hope you enjoyed the self-own I've further emphasized above.

Too lazy to scroll, but figure this version wasn’t used. There’s so many great early career performances on Letterman:

I think that's exactly it: risk tolerance and a certain degree of uncertainty regarding "randomized" testing schedules and results. Probably super common: limited offseason "training" regimens with targeted, incremental goals and conservative allowances. Seems like the infraction announcements happen largely during the offseason, but is there an NFL policy that defers such judgements once a season is officially underway? There must be in-season positives, given injury management and whatnot, so is there an NFL process for keeping a lid on those under a certain recurrence threshold? Or is my perception of this as a largely offseason phenomena inaccurate?

There's also the "I take so much juice at once and so many masking agents I get confused so I just let my trainer take care of it and pray he doesn't screw up" approach. Either way, you look a hell of a lot better if you take full responsibility for it imo. Especially when there's no qualifiers in front of that statement.

Peak off-season. Now I know what Larry Davis was obsessing about all week.
