Simple answer. A liar. (What is a self inflated made)?

Insurers don’t settle cases that have zero merit. Having been sued and having reviewed and testified as an expert witness in far more cases, an insurer will only settle if there are actual damages and they fear a jury award would be higher. After both plaintiff and defendant experts weigh in on paper or deposition, they typically decide to settle or defend the case. I’ve never seen a case where “nothing wrong happened” to warrant a settlement offer. They are loathe to settle “nuisance cases”. It’s not a good habit for them to get into for obvious reasons.

Since I was mentioned, my point has always been that if I brought a civil suit against someone who brought emotional damage to me, I don’t think I’d be comfortable accepting funds acquired either through a court order or from a pre trial settlement (the latter of the two is almost surely where this is headed)….but that’s just how I live my life. I’m not making a judgement on anyone else here.

Oof, dont lump me in with that crowd. Point taken. I'm done. All of my previous posts in here still stand.

Perhaps these “conceptual” and “philosophical” discussions you and Deek are looking for will play better on PPP. That crowd loves that shlt.

My man. Did you miss the entire first paragraph where I literally said "bear with me" and "thought exercise" etc etc???? In order to have the philosophical discussion @SoCal Deek was looking for, you MUST make an assumption of judgement one way or the other. Otherwise, sure, just sit back with the rest of you folks "waiting for more information". But a heads up to that as well, we'll never know more information. This entire thing is he said/she said. That's fair, I dont disagree, and I didnt love doing it either.

You would have a good point if it were clear that the goal of the Trump tariff game theory is to get to a point of true free trade. But that isn't it at all. The administration has clearly restated an old/discredited mercantilist theory of tariffs, and has also pointed to tariff revenues replacing income tax revenues. So ... no.

I know you are just putting “assumptions” out there to prove a point, but I gotta tell you, the way you worded the male role in all this creeps me out (as a father of three girls). Way too much rationalization and downplaying language for me to stomach. No offense to you personally.

The Bills thru the eyes of an Eagles fan site SB Nation is the parent organization of Buffalo Rumblings, a web site cited from time to time here at TBD. They have fan run sites for all NFL teams. This is an article looking at the Bills, one of the Eagles' opponents in the 2025 season. I thought it was interesting. Essentially, they believe that Buffalo did precious little to change the team after yet again failing to surpass the Chiefs in the playoffs. The is a reference to the old adage about the definition of insanity "doing the same thing over and expecting different results. No mentioned by name, the article says Buffalo brought in old injured veterans (Tre White, and Joe Bosa) and "warm bodies" (Josh Palmer and Isaiah Moore?) at WR. No mention is made of Buffalo's focus on defense in the draft. So, are the authors right - Buffalo is destined for another playoff run that will again fall short, or are they underestimating the potential effect that newcomers could have on the team? My own perspective is that Buffalo's near misses in its attempts to reach the Super Bowl are not a reason to go into a full scale rebuild. The relatively minor retooling that the Bills have done is due in part to salary cap constraints and an effort to preserve the team's long term outlook, rather that "blowing the wad" on a one-time effort to get over the hump. I think there is still reason to believe that small changes could be enough to give Buffalo the improvements they need to not only get to the Super Bowl, but to win it. They were not that far off.

Your point leaned heavily toward “just pay the girl” and move on, without a second glance. I just don’t know enough to accept that, even if you are trying to couch your position with “assumptions”. We don’t know either of these people. My Father-in-law was a dentist forever in a small town. Not long before his retirement he had the first malpractice claim of his life filed against him. It was from a poor old lady who he had been caring for for decades. He did nothing wrong, and everybody knew it. The insurance company insisted that they had never had a claim from him before, so they were just going to settle. Because it was the easiest thing to do. He never got over that. I think both parties present at the time believe their version of events. I do not think either of them are “lying”, it’s just different perspectives. It’s very personal to them, and I’ll step back and hope they can both find a comfortable place to move on from.

I like where your head is at! Enjoy the show folks. We're so lucky to be able to watch a good team year in and year out. Waaaaaaay better than the drought years. duh!

I was on board with everything,, until I saw she wasn’t giving the award to a woman’s shelter. What a beeotch.

Awesome! I listened to some of those bands but your taste was just a bit more hardcore than mine. Our go-to was Kerrang! magazine and a local record shop (The Wax Museum) that catered exclusively to metal. I first read about Metallica in a free 'publication' that I picked up there. It was black and white, maybe 5-10 pages long and I think it was written and printed by Jon Zazula - probably in his basement. In his write up he said something to the effect that he had seen Metallica before, wasn't planning on watching the band up close but then they hit the stage and he realized 'this is not a band that you turn your back on'. That quote stuck with me and was the main reason me and my friend went (they were opening for Raven on the Kill Em All For One tour) - the other reason was we got kicked out of a campsite (and nearly arrested) the night before. I honestly don't remember what I did with most of my record collection, but I think I downsized during a move too. I kept a milk crate's worth either because I loved the cover (i.e Y&T's Mean Streak), it had sentimental value or it was Zappa/Mothers album (probably 15-20). But I haven't had anything to play them on for years. One of my other cool stories is that my father used to be a bit of an audiophile. He'd take me to stereo shows in NYC when I was young and made sure I had a decent setup. He was big on JBL and my first set of speakers were JBL 4311's. I have a Zappa album where the liner notes say that the album was intended to be played on 4311's. Good times. Anyway, I appreciate your and others contributions here. I get to discover new bands or in this case re-discover music I drifted away from. I'll end by noting that one band I've been diving into lately based on your recommendation is Kyuss!

Hmmm. Punctuation, spelling, lucidity all lacking. Got meds?

Christine Baranski's first appearance on the Big Bang Theory. John Cleese, being John Cleese on Cheers.

A clear, reasonable, and principled response. Very much appreciated! (Way better than the ‘cut his balls off’ response.)

Everyone is faster then Coleman

This board is slower than Keon Coleman ..

Is he faster than Coleman??

Saw Josh's commercial on the TV today. It's still kind of weird Buffalo has a QB good enough to be asked without a ring. Call me nostalgic, but our last star QB to make a commercial to remember was Jim Kelly for Wegmans. His line of eat those Wedgeables, eat those Wedgeables 😀 I think it was strive for 5 if I remember correctly.

Oh.

Who the f do you think you’re talking to. What’s clear is the you’re a self inflated made.

Funny thing, this is the only place still talking about this.
