Of course he was aware, he probably had the attacked already planned, but gave their biggest ally a chance to negotiate peace and honored the deadline he gave. It not some conspiracy or well played thing he did. The attack was probably going to happen and Trump got wind and told him to hold off and let him try and get them to come to the table and avoid all of this. Just as likely a scenario as the one you gave. Iran didnt deal so the attack went ahead that was going to happen anyway. Trump probably used the missiles to help save Israeli and others lives, as they would have had to go in on the ground to take them facilities out and it would have cost everyone a lot. See I can do that game too, but the fact is we do not know what happened. But I get it, you have already decided orange man bad based on previous admittances on your part, so you predictably chose the path that fits that lens.

Very well said. The constant thing gnawing at me: in order to get to this point, the US and even Israel have gone all in on the Saudis as the lesser of two evils. (In reality, it appears the Trump believes there is nothing evil at all about them.) Evil or not, have we overestimated the stability of that regime? Has anyone taken a close look at the ridiculous projects they've been funding while the oil money continues to shower down on them? Granted, the Saudi feudal rulers may well continue in place for long while - maybe even a generation or even two - but when it all ends it won't end pretty.

Wow....that could be a bombshell and open the NFL up to serious litigation and monetary damages... https://www.yahoo.com/sports/nfl/breaking-news/article/nfl-collusion-ruling-arbitrator-reportedly-finds-nfl-roger-goodell-encouraged-teams-to-reduce-guarantees-for-veterans-144903905.html the arbitrator, Christopher Droney, wrote the following: "There is little question that the NFL Management Council, with the blessing of the Commissioner, encouraged the 32 NFL Clubs to reduce guarantees in veterans’ contracts at the March 2022 annual owners’ meeting." That suggests both the NFL and Goodell wanted teams to collude to reduce guaranteed money when handing out contracts to veteran players.

I'll be visiting the area solo for the first time since I took my son to see Tyrod and the Rex crew some ten years back. Really hoping I could get a ticket for one of the practices but haven't heard anything yet.

Karlos Williams the buffet king in his first season scoring all of those TD’s.

It's right in front of your face. Are we supposed to believe that Netanyahu was not aware of this 60 day deal and that it was just a coincidence Israel attacked on day 61 with an operation that clearly took extensive time and planning? Perhaps long enough to date back to Trumps first term? Further do you think Netanyahu was not aware at how limited Iran would be in negotiating with Trump/US on this subject? It was a simple check mate from a smarter leader. Hell, he even pulled us into it. You would better served arguing that it was all planned by both of them the whole time.

He inherited all those people. It took him a minute to realize that he needed to let them all go. And characterizing Marrone as “walking” is disingenuous. He tried a power-play and Terry wasn’t having it so he told him “there’s the door.” if you really thought he was worth keeping he would’ve given into his demands. And yeah, Rex was a mistake. But a short-lived one. Is Kraft suddenly a crappy owner because he hired Mayo for a season?

After the Whistle reported today that hes not demanding a trade. He wants first line minutes and to be on PP #1 and he doesnt want to be just another guy on a new team. Sounds like hes sticking around but he's pissed that the team is a dumpster fire and he is a lot more outspoken than the quiet kid we drafted. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/seneca-side-note-vol-66-too-much-talking/id1590573108?i=1000714295627

Felt the same about Nassau Coliseum. Have a ton of memories in that place with the Isles and concerts. But it was also a shithole, and its time had come and gone. UBS is a great arena. Don't miss Nassau at all despite the great memories.

I need to give credit where credit is due. Today’s reported tongue lashing of Iran’s and Israel’s leaders gave them cover to say they had no choice. They save face. How long it will last is the question. It’s a good start.

I am not celebrating anything. And this is taking what you seen happen and making up the reasons for it. You do not know any of this.

Sabres are tied with the Jets for longest active playoff drought. Sabres playoff drought is the longest in NHL history. The Browns have been to the post season twice in the past 5 years.

Looking for 2 training camp tickets if anyone has any available (last year we had vip tickets and had the time of our life) I’d be willing to pay for those as well.

No illegal immigrants are breaking the law, immigrants, like my friends, are not as I said completely moronic comparison.

Interesting how May 2018 is missing from your timeline - almost like that part completely wrecks your argument. Clever omission… just not clever enough. Why would Iran give Biden a deal? Trump tore up the last one to score points with his base, proving US diplomacy has a four-year shelf life. And with Iran aligned with Russia, they were never going to hand Biden a win he could parade as a foreign policy comeback.

No, that is the NY Jets and Cleveland Browns of the NFL.

So what will allow that to happen now? Regime is still in place. Pursuit of Nuclear capability will still happen. Region will still be engulfed in holy wars as it has for nearly its entire existence. What exactly was accomplished again? A temporary slowdown in Irans nuclear capability?

I got my 6 for 11/3. No issues at all!

Marrone walked, Russ "Don't let Rex leave without a contract" Brandon, and then Doug "nobody told me we fired the HC" Whaley. That is very dysfunctional and mirrors the Sabres.

Was that Adams’ worst press conference ever? He’s had some doozeys, but that was next level.

I remember hearing a Ellis Lankster interview and just said to myself, Wow! Just Wow!

Pegula only owned the Bills for 3 years prior to bringing in McDermott and Beane and the team was around .500 those seasons which was better than the 3 seasons prior to Pegula taking ownership. I would hardly call that dysfunctional. Not saying Pegula belongs in the the upper echelon of team owners but he did something not many others would have done and that is secure the team's location in Orchard Park for the foreseeable future. He also spends money when he needs to. That's good enough for me.

The evidence is what I laid out. As to the "why now," I think it is obvious, and it isn't strictly my opinion, it's from listening to countless discussions with Israeli officials, mostly ex ambassadors and others involved in dealing with this while living there and undergoing these relentless attacks. To respond to the question, I think the Oct 7 2023 inhumane barbarism started it. Prior to that, things were kind of quiet by local standards. Hamas and the Palestinians enjoyed employment within Israel and the Israelis mistakenly thought that at long last there could be some kind of coexistence. Then we witness the most barbaric attack in modern history. Babies killed, families butchhered and filmed, and a host of other unimaginable atrocities. Israel responds by attempting to finally eliminate Hamas, which is nothing more than a murderous org taking intl relief and converting it into an underground weapons delivery system. Hezbollah chips in, and hundreds of thousands of Israelis have to leave northern Israel. The entire country is involved in supporting their defense. The economy is no longer functioning with so many displaced and so many reservists away from their usual careers. Hamas gets set back and then the brilliance of Hezbollah getting severely castrated by the beeper thing. Syria collapses, as the Israelis use that to destroy existing air defenses and create a corridor through there to Iran. That was a big deal, and I pointed that out at the time. Now you have a very reduced capability from Hamas and Hezbollah, and the Iranian weapons program still a major threat. Not just nuc procurement, but a massive ballistic missile capability. Guess what? They've got a clear path to Tehran after decades of threatened and backed up murder. They've had scores of human assets inside Iran preparing for this moment for years, and the activated them, building drone launchers and other offensive weapons from within. Air defense eliminated, The timing was perfect, as was the execution. It is the dream scenario for the west, the middle east countries wanting to live in peace and anyone else who is sick and tired of the worst regime on earth.
