Have you ever had to call 911 for anything?
Just Jack replied to BillsPride12's topic in Off the Wall
Three times I've called, and one time I was there while someone else was calling. 1) Father's Day morning, late 1990's. Myself and one of my brothers were the only ones home at my parents house. It's before 7am, and in my dream I hear a crash. Wake up and look out the window (bedroom was on the front of the house) and there's a pickup up against the front of our house. I go outside and find the driver (late teens or early 20's) walking around the front yard, power pole in the yard has been broken. Figure out he was coming over the hill and must have passed out and gone straight, because when coming over the hill, the road curves to the right, he went straight into our yard, hit the pole, rolled the truck at least once, and somehow it ended right side up, against the small front porch. Beer cans scattered over the yard, over 20 is what I remember. What we found out later was that he was on leave for the weekend from whatever military branch he was in, his father's neighbor let him take his brand new truck out. That truck was now totaled, and he was arrested. 2) Driving on the thruway, and this car as they are passing me on the left, starts swerving into my lane, I beep they move back into their lane. I start watching them, and it's apparent something is not right, inconsistent speed and failing to stay in one lane. I called, and start keeping pace with them, their speed was between 40-80 mph, sometimes driving on the shoulder, sometimes on the lines between lanes, etc. Eventually the Troopers caught up and got them to pull over. I would check the Trooper blotter online and about a week later it showed up, a female, driving impaired, with a child in the car. 3) Driving home late after work, maybe 2am or later on back country roads, during the winter. Come around this one curve in the road and I see a lot of snow in the road, look over, and there's a car up on the snowbank, driver's door open and a leg sticking out. I stop and go take a look, guy somewhat passed out on the front seat, comes to as I approach. Says he fell asleep, can I call him a cab (there are no cabs where I lived, and this was pre-Uber) or take him to a truck stop. I just tell him I'll call for some help. Made the mistake of letting him site in my car. I was outside and I see him fiddling with the radio. I open the door and he yells at me that it's his car. Troopers eventually show up, they get him out of my car and into the back of theirs, he has my Bills winter hat on, so I have to ask them to get that back for me, because at this point, he's angry that I called 911, and calling me an #######. I hang out long enough listening to them question him that he tells them that he was in Utica (we are nowhere near Utica) because he's a gigolo. A few days later I have to go give my statement, it's the same Troopers, so they tell me that he was arrested, and tried to proposition the female Trooper while he was being booked. They also tell me that he had broken off the car key in the ignition, so even if he could get the car off the snowbank, it was not going anywhere. 4) This one was somewhere in Texas, after dark but not too late, I'm driving down this service road near a highway and see a car pulled over and two people walking towards me on the shoulder. I then notice the large object on the should of the road, which turns out to be a person. I pull over also, and while one of the people call 911, I stand on the shoulder before this person (who is awake and talking) waving at people to move over. Once the firemen get there, I get a better look at this person, whatever happened it split the skin open on one of their legs, you could see the muscle, etc. I decide then, since the cops had arrived, and said they did not need a statement from me since I did not see the accident, I could leave. -
So what do you want? To pay him 15M and lose McGovern or Torrence? We also have much more potential on offense this year with Coleman Year 2, Kincaid Year 3, Palmer & Moore vs Rookie Coleman, injured Kincaid, Cooper and Hollins.

He's taking care of his business. But not the team's business. This is where the rubber hits the road. He's holding their feet to the fire. There will be consequences, of one sort or another. For me, this is where I start to get irritated at the selfishness. I'm pretty sure Cook won't care about what I think, though.
-
it's certainly possible. but if you look at success rate among our RBs it's pretty clear why they don't go to Cook in those moments

Why does MAGA protect pedos?

That's what Rousseau, Bernard, Shakir, and Benford did. I'm sure the Bills already offered him that (around 4 years $42m, $25m guaranteed) and he said no. My hunch is there's a disconnect between what Cook thinks he's worth and the league consensus. Maybe let him seek a trade to find that out?

I got a similar deal, but through Verizon HBO Max and a discounted Netflix

I had cataract surgery 3 years ago. I could get along fine with a daily routine, but the cataracts really showed up when I used a VR headset. After the surgery, my vision improved from requiring glasses for driving to nearly 20/20. Amazing. If you are old, you may develop cloudiness later. There is a procedure to eliminate that called YAG. I had that about 6 months ago, but I still have a little cloudiness left. I don't find it convenient to have to use readers. I need 1.25 to see my computer monitor, but 2.5 to read at normal book distance. I have been using Dollar Store readers for that, although I also have two pairs of progressive readers that I got at Walmart for $25, which work well when I am on a phone or tablet. I understand that Medicare will reimburse part of the cost for new glasses, but I'm unsure of the exact amount. I suggest starting with the cheaper readers, to see if you can get along with single correction or if you prefer something else. When I finally decide to get a new pair of glasses, they will be progressive readers.

let’s say he plays for 5 then signs a 3 for 42…. 4 year 47 or he just signs 4 year low 40s now - cash up front and mitigates injury risk…. it just seems common sense for him to come off his UFA style ask to get a slightly lower deal that does great things for him
-
in a given year, sure. but realistically they're all members of the same union, and in the long term larger contracts are better for membership overall put it this way- when it's your turn to get paid you'd expect your coworkers to be in your corner. i mean just because you get a raise it doesnt mean your buddies get less...it's up to the boss/front office/NFLPA cba etc to figure it out

Why does Le'Veon Bell come to mind?
-
there are like 3000 guys in camps also an acl in August has him back to full strength next year so like a 1 in 500 chance of an injury that would have him in camp for his new team now what are his odds of injury working out solo and what increase in risk of injury in sept comes from sitting out in August and does sitting out hurt perception at all? Once you normalize it all out - the risk isn’t super wild is all I’m getting at

Training Camp News - Around the League version
Sierra Foothills replied to DrDawkinstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
The two plays that were uncannily similar... Josh running around forever extending the play and finally heaving a catchable but underthrown ball that most tight ends would catch... but that both Clay and Kincaid dropped. Maybe we should call those two companion pieces, the "Kin-Clay."
