JohninMinn. started following Is Cook worth it?
-
Cook is ranked 24th in yards after contact. That's a reason to move on along with some key drops.
-
Probably Florida. No state income tax. Is it true DeSantis is trying to do away with property taxes?

Were there ever years you were disinterested in the Bills?
Gregg replied to Another Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
As a Bills fan, I am always interested in the Bills. Even when they sucked for most the 70's, 84 and 85, and the drought years I was always rooting for them to win. It wasn't fun losing most of the time, but I never lost interest in them and never will. -
I hope so because if they don't have him their chances for a Super Bowl take a major hit. The Bills WR's/TE's are average, and Allen can't do it by himself. Cook may not be in Barkley and Henry's league, but he is an excellent back who takes a lot of pressure off Allen.

Lots of people rave about the Gailey/Fitzpatrick years. To be honest I wasnât too thrilled with having Donald Jones and David Nelson and Naaman Roosevelt as our receivers. What a waste -

Of course they do. The notion that additional time, dialogue and negotiation was an option v an armed raid is discounted. As does the fact that after multiple hours and complete control of the premises, the DOJ allegedly grabbed tax information and correspondence between Trump and his attorney. Thereafter, the resistance of the DOJ to the notion of an impartial Special Master to weed through the data was a red flag. I think Chi will argue that this is simply a reflection of the purity of the law, the essential application of the hand of justice. Iâd argue that the application of simple, honest and straightforward event management would include dialogue about how to avoid any appearance of impropriety. On the other hand, it turned out that the Smith approach likely led, at least in part, to Trump return to the White House. In that regard, the Chiâs of the world played a key role in that. Complete clusterf*ck. -
I currently live west of FT Lauderdale. Most likely move a few hours north and maybe west coast of Florida. In a perfect world one of the Virgin Islands.

Im shocked! Shocked I tell you!!!

My guess is that a $12 million deal with $30 million guaranteed will get done by game 1. He knows that this team is his best chance to get a SB, and the Bills know that he is the perfect RB for this offense. If they wait a year, his price goes up.

There were some years during the drought where I still watched/followed the team but I just knew they were a horrible team and had no actual faith in them accomplishing anything. I would call those seasons "going through the motions" years for me -

Late '70s into mid-80s during undergrad and grad school. Just didn't have time to sh!t or wind my watch. Given the state of the Bills back then, the timing was fortuitous. -
Comey & Brennan Under Criminal Investigation

I was comparing outcomes, and your comments regarding apples, oranges, legal v political were fine. Your comment regarding a âstunt for ignorantâ was standard fare from the typical Biden voter who fancies himself enlightened in spite ofâŚwell, well, just about everything Joe Biden. You didnât stop there, though, and shared some graphic mental imagery regarding boot licking. While I have no doubt you would hold court on âapples v orangesâ, the question is really would you characterize someone you disagreed with as a boot licker at the office? At a neighborhood block party? When ordering a coffee at Dunkinâ? Ohâwhen working out at the local gymâwould you tell the guy on the bench press who lingered a bit to âGet it moving, ya damn boot licker?â. I think you probably wouldnât. For some reason here, in a silly conversation about political prosecutions in one of the dirtiest and grimiest political places on the planet, you felt it appropriate. -
Let me preface this by saying that I am not close to the retirement age yet and I still have alot of work to do if I ever see retirement but I'm also at that age where parents, aunts and uncles, and friends are entering the retirement years and it's been fun watching them get to that stage and for the first time in my life it's something I am starting to think about in the back of my mind. I think about how if I wanted to remain in WNY I think my ideal place to live would be in one of those Condo's along the water at Niawanda Park. But as a golfer it would be cool retiring somewhere like North Carolina or Florida where you can pretty much play year round. The Villages in FL sound like the party spot for retirees. But I know this Country has alot to offer for retirement communities so would love to hear your opinions

Isn't that the definition of "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts"? The Bills OL is excellent but what makes it even better is making its job easier (QB) and philosophy (running the ball). If you exchanged Allen for Tua and the Bills philosophy for Miami's, the OL would not perform nearly as well.
-
Where are the Bills with Cook and the contract situation? Are they closer to getting a deal done? He is our 2nd best player on offense. Need to get a deal done hopefully.

He just likes that it looks like he has a stick up his butt when he runs.

As a campaign volunteer for Zohran (a âMaâam-dani,â if you willâŚhurray for early-morning neologism!!), I can say with 100% certainty that heâs not intending to seize the means of production from private NYC businesses. Adding one public grocery store in each borough doesnât qualify as âseizing the means of productionâ LOL⌠One of his main campaign policies, in fact, is to trim excessive regulations and red tape that prevent small businesses from competing with large ones. This is a policy Iâd think right-wing populists could support?? Even if Zohran were to perform a complete post-campaign heel turn, heâd still have to contend with the entirety of the stateâs Democratic Party establishment that is deeply committed to neoliberalism. One of Zohranâs biggest expected challenges will be getting Hochul and her crony capitalist acolytes in Albany to agree to Zohranâs absurdly modest tax hikes on the NYC rich. Consider this post a âFWIWâ rebuttal, BTW. TBH, I couldnât care less what you guys think about Zohranâs campaign. Iâm confident weâre going to hit the majority vote threshold in November, regardless of yâallâs online Boomerish histrionics. You brought up Venezuela, which is in no way an indictment of democratic socialism. The issues that have plagued their government since 1998 are not characteristic of any particular economic system: a macroeconomy insanely dependent on one commodity (oil), deeply entrenched corruption, a reckless monetary policy, reckless fiscal policies, and sustained Western imperialist sanctions. The Chavez/Maduro price control measures have more to do with dirigisme and stupidity than anything market socialists or economically literate DSA members would ever support. You also brought up Trumpâs tariffs. Yes, I generally do support targeted tariffs meant to boost domestic manufacturing. No, I donât support the particular tariff mess that this populist charlatan is implementing. Where are the accompanying collective bargaining laws or Keynesian stimulus packages to help make the return of good-paying manufacturing jobs a timely reality?? Spoiler alert: these jobs arenât coming back under Trump. His tariff wars have been a giant buy-low, sell-high scheme for his corporate cronies. I blame neoliberalism because decades of macroeconomics research papers point to neoliberalism as the culprit for urban unaffordability. It has absolutely nothing to do with my perceived political tribalism. The economics research literature has been unambiguous in its revelation that we have been mired on the left side of Lafferâs curve all this time. How deep into the academic weeds are you willing to go on a pro football message board?? Look again at the nine cost-of-living factors I brought up in my previous post. By far the most consequential factor is wage growth, as a function of inflation and worker productivity. The next biggest factor has got to be health care costs, the leading cause of family bankruptcy in America. In what ways have progressive policies negatively impacted these two factors?! The issues of urban affordability and food deserts, here in NYC and elsewhere in America, predate and extend well beyond the era of COVID lockdowns and BLM riots. Once again, Iâll just reiterate here that I formulate economic opinions from economic data and not from political axioms. Also, I take umbrage with the notion that âfree moneyâ and âclosing down businessesâ were distinctly progressive policies at that time. It was conventional economic wisdom to provide financial stimulus so to prevent a far more dangerous DEFLATIONARY cycle, as a result of the collapse in consumer demand. It was conventional epidemiological wisdom to shut down NYC, in the face of an emergent pandemic, because NYC is a major transmission nexus and one of the most densely populated places in the world. Youâre asking me to consider the employer side of the employer-employee relationship. I do, on occasion, when the situation warrants it. Those situations in this era of neoliberalism, however, are few and far between. I canât help but laugh at the capitalists whining about their own incompetence navigating paid family/medical leaves in the year 2025⌠Your last paragraph is interesting to me because I actually find the strength of Zohranâs platform to be proposing simple things that have been done before, elsewhere across the world, with proven levels of success. But if novel and ambitious ideas are what you seek from the far left, contact your local DSA and tell them to advocate for market socialism: have some goods and services nationalized and government-run, but have most others commodified by worker cooperatives. We can start small and expand with time. Extant private businesses, in their traditional form, can be grandfathered into the new economy so that no âseizureâ of the means of production is necessary! Yay!

Three wins in a row and the Blue Jays finally lost a game. Hopefully their mid-season slump is over, and they can get back in first place in the division. Let's Go Yanks!

Douglas Mackey- meme trial
Orlando Buffalo replied to Orlando Buffalo's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
This case is definitive proof that the Dems must control the narrative for the stupid, because without it they will lose every election. No one cares that Kimmel made the same joke because everyone knows he is a known liar and no one with any intelligence listens to him at all, but a random tweet caused people not to vote.
