I'll take what is a strawman for one billion, Alex. Me: it's not ok sexualize CHILDREN in schools. Gay, straight or in between. Grade school children should not be exposed to books depicting anal/oral or be encouraged to question the reality of the gonads that they were born with. Because they're friggin CHILDREN. Billsfuk.c: oh yeah? Well how do you explain an ADULT gay TEACHER losing his or her job then? Moral: it's not only because it's a massive troll that I ignore it. It also has an IQ of 57.

Kudos to the kids for figuring it out and laughing at all the lead-addled boomers who believe anything the internet tells them. A little ray of hope for the future.

Good. Long overdue. Between the absolutely ridiculous surcharges and service fees, the "dynamic pricing" they've instituted, and the fact that they themselves are now ALSO scalpers -- not to MENTION the fact that they are the very definition of a monopoly... It is way, way past time for Ticketmaster/Live Nation to be reined in. No one who has tried to buy tickets to a concert of any renown through them in the past decade could reasonably reach any other conclusion. And yes, we all would have saved a lot of time and effort if we had listened to Pearl Jam on this issue 30 years ago.

Indeed, it upsets you, I understand. Hitler was a horrific person who committed suicide for a reason. I don't require ABC or Ron to interpret what Trump actually says... but nice try. The following isn't used by mistake: Hitler: "One people, one realm, one leader" Trump: "One people, one family, one glorious nation" Hitler: I will take care of the "enemy within" Trump: I will take care of the "threat from within" Hitler: Jews and migrants are poisoning Aryan blood Trump: Migrants are "poisoning the blood of our country" Hitler: Adolf Hitler: I have no desire to give comfort to the church-goers, the believers in democracy, the crooked-legged jew vermin. To the parasitic scum who infest Germany, this will be a warning - a warning they will never accept. No! "Mein Kampf" is for those who will follow me. They'll read it, believe it, act upon it. Trump: We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country," Neither do you blame Jews for destroying America, disparage Jews for not voting for you, nor dine with antisemites by accident. Praising Hitler for doing ‘a lot of good things’ doesn't happen inadvertently. None of this happens by accident.

Or. maybe act like a member of a team, demonstrate commitment and like you stated get to know teammates! Kind of like we expect from ball players at all levels!

All the Aid From Biden’s Gaza Pier was Seized by Hamas: That was $300 million in taxpayer money well spent by Daniel Greenfield If you’re keeping track, Biden announced that America was going to spend two months building a floating pier to deliver aid to Gaza at a cost of $300 million that would be operated by the U.S. military. Then the pier came under attack by terrorists, was withdrawn to the Israeli port of Ashdod for repairs while the Biden administration conducted backchannel talks with Hamas urging it not to attack the pier, then redeployed for aid deliveries and it’s been a smashing success. For Hamas. The good news was that the Pentagon press secretary announced that 569 metric tons of humanitarian assistance has been delivered across the temporary pier in Gaza. The bad news was that according to the same press secretary, none of the aid has gotten through to any recognized aid distribution points. Did the aid get to the people of Gaza? “I do not believe so,” he answered. So they’re now looking for “alternate routes”. https://www.frontpagemag.com/all-the-aid-from-bidens-gaza-pier-was-seized-by-hamas/ .

The left truly has a dizzying intellect. Trump is Hitler. Then Putin is Hitler. Now they are both Hitler. Who's the next Hitler, because, "the new thing"... Meanwhile, Ukraine is burning down churches and supports a legit, bona fide Nazi battalion with the Asmov battalion. All the while calling everyone a "Nazi" now. I guess that's their recycled word of the month. F*cking petulant 5 year olds. Nobody is listening to you people anymore. It's not working.

I think Mina Kimes and the like are examples of smart analysis vs the Stephen A's of the world but to your point I agree the inmates are taking over the asylum.

I do not like Caleb Williams but he didn’t have Rome, Allen, Davis, or Darnell Wright in practice. Could be a factor there.

A sad read. Hope this guy can find his way. Hard to believe that chopping off body parts ever became a fashionable and celebrated way to treat mental illness. “BFD. Buyer’s remorse” -billstime

Lots of thoughts on the topic: - Fees have gotten crazy (specific to the primary market). - Because a venue only has 1 ticketing partner it is realistic to control those fees. They have a right to make money but they also are a monopoly in a sense. - The secondary market cannot and should not be regulated. It’s basic supply and demand. The tickets cost what someone is willing to pay and someone else is willing to accept. That’s the Leafs at Sabres model. - It’s hard for new ticket brokering sites to gain market share because TM & Stub Hub have so much $. It’s tough for anyone to close that gap. - Whoever can master a calculated gamble on futures would be able to find an audience. As an example of what I am referring to is something like, “pay $200 for the right to buy 2 Bills playoff tickets for all rounds at face value. If the Bills don’t host you're out $200. If they get there, you saved a bunch of money.” People have tried stuff like this but none have been really successful to my knowledge. It’s like the prop swap concept for those gamblers out there. It’s more of a big sporting event concept but it’s interesting imo.

Cool, and let's just skip the plays where the ball was way out of the ballpark and he had zero chance of catching it. I know that the majority here loved to blame Davis for those, but in fairness it's not the receiver's fault. ... unless it was a blatantly wrong route or cut or something like that. I don't recall a lot if any of those re: Coleman. Splash plays are good, but out of the ordinary ones is what we're looking for, not ones that JAG WRs can make under the same circumstances. That's what's nice about Youtube, people do the work for you so that all you have to do is review. Years ago you could write to the school and they'd give you side/EZ views of every player on O or D, for free, all you'd have to do is ask, ... and tell 'em you're doing a draft review for publishing. LOL I'm not sure what happens if you simply ask. But now so much is on YT. And yes, your own eyes. That was originally my challenge, for people to watch all his plays and see whether or not it passes the sniff test contrasted with the narrative(s), particularly those narratives here, which always seem to grow once we draft a player. LOL It did. I didn't know much about Coleman before the Draft. I also didn't know much about any of the WRs. Sure, I'd perused a few dozen draft profiles, and in the case of any of the half-dozen or so WRs that I thought would be available for us, also looked at their stats (in light of opponents) and game logs, etc. (i.e. not MHJ, LOL) Unlike everyone else, I don't claim to be knowledgeable in depth about the top-100 +/- players in the Draft. LOL I do the research in much depth after the Draft. Much easier to do in-depth research on three or four players than the time-involved impossibility of doing it for the top third of the draft. LOL But the narrative was about what a beast he was in contested catches despite not being a burner, which IMO is what we needed, and not just a 200 yard/season burner, but one that would be capable, next season if not this one, of putting up 1,000+ yards and 8+ TDs. Either way, few claim that he's a #1 with that potential, even here. But as I watched that video, it struck me all the passes in traffic that he dropped or otherwise couldn't catch. PFF wrote that piece that I posted above with his "contested catch" numbers compared to other WRs that are not noted for "contested catches," and he ranked poorly against them. So my first question was, why the hype if his metrics are subpar. That's when I decided to look for myself, at every play, and database it all. When I have time, I'm going to make a breakdown video of them all in varying groupings. I'll probably create a Youtube channel to put 'em on since they'll be too big to post directly. But the cats of contested catches, great catches, bubble-screen/screen plays, etc. Don't even include the uncatchable ones. In fairness we can dismiss those as being irrelevant. How about if we focus on Catch, Drop, and Contested? Essentially, let's in essence look for plays that will work in the NFL against NFL caliber competition, plays that he'll contribute something on. On a side note, I did count, of his 50 catches, 16, a third, were caught behind the LoS, which is also concerning. That leaves 34 catches all season, with 11 of 'em having been made against LSU and Syracuse, that were "downfield," leaving precious few on a per-game basis for the other 10 games on average. 2.3/game that is. My general assessment is that we have a very Gabe Davis type WR without the ability that Davis had to go deep. Davis too was a good contested catch WR. He also had a notably better senior season on the opposite end of the scale as Coleman. Both played 12 games. Davis had 7 games of 98+ yards, 10 of 68+, 5 of 106+, and 3 of 151+. Coleman had 2 games of more than 86, 9 games of 66 or fewer. Davis also had nearly twice the yards. Both were the #1 WRs on their teams. I suspect, without evidence, that McBeane were trying to replace Davis, whom despite fans not liking the guy, Allen and they seem to have loved. Two things I'll add, first, his games against LSU, whose Defense was below-average and whose passing Defense was even worse, Syracuse, whose passing Defense was below-average, and to a lesser extent Clemson, which had a good defense, carry his profile. After that though, it's difficult to find a game that should be considered great or even close. So essentially we drafted a WR with 9 unimpressive games, and 2 impressive ones and one more leaning impressive. The second thing, it's always concerning when the personality of a player runs away with the narrative without the on-field production to back it up, in this case as a completely untested rookie. Last season it was Sherfield in a notably lesser context. People, understandably to a limited extent, elevate expectations based upon a player's soft traits and characteristics. So anyway, in the following post I'll run through his LSU passes in detail and we'll go from there. Thanks again!!

It probably has more to do with just rebranding. I'm 35 and boomer and Simms have been on CBS as long as I can remember. Same with Jimmy Johnson and Terry Bradshaw on Fox. At some point, they have to change things

Hussein was going to release this information publicly so the US invaded after making up WMD's to stop him!!11!

The Bears should have moved on from Eberflus. That team is loaded and they are banking on a guy with a 10-24 record. Bears have this weird history of drafting a QB then firing the coach a year later. Did with Fox/Trubisky, then Nagy and Fields. Probably not the best way to develop a guy

I certainly haven't done the commendable work that others have in breaking down Coleman's college production so all I have by comparison is an impression for all its worth but I see a guy who is fast through his routes, who is big and probably capable of out muscling many nfl DBs, and (this is important) has impressive ball skills. Those are core competencies that have earned some guys golden jackets. If we are talking football I take that and his kind of athleticism over an 11 foot broad jump all day long. No guarantees of course given the enormous step up in competition that all rooks have to negotiate but I think the Bills are right in thinking that he has the makings of a good, possibly very good player at his position. Unlike the Bills I do wonder if he's a true X given the lack of long speed (that's why they signed MVS) but regardless I'm sure Brady has a role for him and the O that he is concocting will not feature a # 1 receiver now anyway that Diggs is gone. Personally I agree with what I expect to be the change in philosophy. Almost forgot to mention that Coleman is a hoot. Probably a great locker room guy. That too is important.

Newly Released Emails Reveal that John Kerry and Obama Admin. Blocked FBI from Arresting Dangerous Iranians Including Terrorists at Least 8 Times by Jim Hoft In March 2018, Barack Obama’s former Secretary of State, John Kerry was caught secretly meeting with Iranian officials to salvage Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Kerry was working against the Trump administration to salvage Obama’s Iranian nuclear deal that funded terrorism across the Middle East. Obama’s former Secretary of State was seen dining with several Iranian regime officials. The above photo was taken as Kerry left the restaurant in Paris. Around this time, President Trump withdrew from the sham Iranian nuclear deal. President Trump knew the deal with the Iranian mullahs was not working. John Kerry reportedly told the Iranian officials to “wait out” Trump’s presidency for more accommodating policies from Democrats. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/05/newly-released-emails-reveal-that-john-kerry-obama/ .

They include the TX Tech player with his wild conspiracy theory. He doesn’t believe in outer space or other planets. It’s the twilight zone, y’all.

“A lot” is a pretty vague statement. 2 Bills players missed ota this week. Jones and Douglas. as defensive players, their main job is to disrupt timing. It’s a lot easier to disrupt timing than run a play where all involved need to have the timing correct. That’s why defense is usually ahead of offfense at the beginning of training camp. For Jones, as a 1T, his job is fairly clear. To hold his ground and eat up blockers, for the most part. He’s shown he knows how to do this, and do it well for the Bills. Douglas is a bit of a different story. I don’t think it’s good for him to miss camp. He’s fairly new in this defense, and I’m guessing that there are a bunch of coverage options that a boundary corner needs to know.

One season does not make a career. Let's see how he does now that there is 17 games of tape on him

Aside from all the little things he'll do ON the field throughout the season (special teams contributions, blocking, the rare big catch in a big moment that he'll pitch in), I think Hollins will make an even bigger impact OFF the field. The truth of the matter is that in the NFL, it's really beneficial to your team to have leaders in the locker room, to have "glue guys". Beane said that even this early into his tenure, you can just tell that Hollins is a glue guy. Setting the tone with his work ethic, his vocal leadership, his selflessness, etc. You need guys like that. So much leadership walked out the door with Jordan Poyer, Micah Hyde, and Mitch Morse. And we can all say what we want about Diggs, and certainly he was a mixed bag, but he WAS a leader in the Bills locker room during his time here. He was constantly going up and down the sideline, getting guys hyped. By my count, as far as leadership and great locker room guys go, the Bills have brought in the following: Mack Hollins DeWayne Carter Sed Van Pran Ray Davis Hollins, obviously, is the only vet. It seems like there's a void of leadership on offense (aside from Josh Allen), so he has the chance to step up and fill a big role there. Beyond him, Carter and Van Pran were both leaders and captains in college, and I'd bet they'll be setting the tone on their respective lines in no time. Davis just seems like a grown man. Not like a rookie or a youngster, but like someone who's ready to go be a killer NOW. And really, beyond all of it, I expect Josh Allen to become THE leader on this team, starting this year. He always has been, to SOME degree, but I think he deferred to Stef in a big way and let him be the loudest alpha in the room. Now that Stef's gone, it's 100% Josh's show.

It’d be interesting to see what would happen if the Coach could trade a timeout for a penalty (outside of the final two minutes of a half).

Yeah, S’up with no handshake established with Keon? 🫨 Cold shoulder? Rookie hazing? Dude don’t know HOW to handshake?? Hell, even I have a personal handshake with Josh. Pick it up, Rookie!

As a USC alum I watched a lot of him over the last two years. He can be extremely reckless with the football. That simply isn’t going to cut it in the NFL. He’s a human highlight reel but sometimes for the OTHER team.

It was because of those reports that Chase slid in the 1st round of my keeper league and I was able to get him at the 9th pick. I have my doubts about Williams and his ability to lead a room of men and as another poster mentioned, the Bears organization doesn’t do QB well.
