Obviously the only possible answer is Reid Ferguson, the long snapper and the most tenured member of the team.

Allen is doing what he can to keep Cook happy. Is he going to say that he doesn't think Cook deserves the money?

This feels a little bit like find the conclusion you want and work your way backwards to find the justification.

- The federal government owns roughly 650 million acres in the U.S. - Nearly 1 out of every 3 acres in the U.S. (29%) is owned and controlled by the federal government - In the West, 1 out of every 2 acres is owned by the federal government. - Over 90% of all federal land is located in the West. https://westerncaucus.house.gov/sites/westerncaucus.house.gov/files/documents/issue 1- public lands, one pager.pdf

Only one finger is stinky?? You are doing something really wrong. Who taught you?? 🤣😂😁🤣🤣😂

How about we focus on the root cause? Blue states and Democratic run cities get their shiit together to prevent those from fleeing.

I can’t work up any outrage over .5-.75% of government owned land being opened up for development. The remaining 99.25-99.5% seems like a lot of wilderness left to appreciate. To quote Frankish, “nobody cares”.

I see kids riding these things on the road all the time with no regard for traffic laws. They’re a problem. It’s a little different but a couple months back I was at the gas station and some kids had taken their quad over there to grab some food. A cop happened to pull in for some gas of his own and then hilarity ensued. I wish I could have stuck around to see when the parents showed up.

I agree with this and it's frustrating that Dem leadership sticks with this line instead of focusing on Trump's lie about no new wars.

Yes. Here is a study from Headwaters Economics, a research firm in Montana. https://headwaterseconomics.org/public-lands/wildfire-public-land-housing/ "Less than 2% of the 181 million acres of Forest Service operational and Department of Interior land included this analysis are close enough to towns with housing needs to be practical for development—around 2.4 million acres. Most of this land is concentrated in a handful of western states—primarily Nevada, Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Utah—and the vast majority of the land is managed by DOI. Forest Service lands offer even fewer options, with only three states (Arizona, Utah, and Oregon) having more than 5,000 acres near towns." Developing housing on public lands may offer benefits in a limited number of communities, but it is not a broad solution. While access to low-cost land can help, housing affordability depends on a complex set of factors—such as construction and labor costs, financing availability and interest rates, insurance access and affordability, and proximity to jobs. In addition, hyperlocal constraints like water supply and community opposition can further restrict feasibility. Beyond this, I don't want our pristine and beautiful natural lands to be taken over for suburban sprawl. It's unsustainable development. Housing policy should be focused on upzoning existing municipal lands and reusing underdeveloped sites, instead of paving over new ones.

He’s Ridgeway, but to his friends, Ridge, and that’s the rest of the story. Good day. (My dad liked listening to him when I was a kid). While I agree with you Hondo, he did put a HC, of a lot of work into it. I was appreciative of his efforts.

It’s probably just technology they feel doesn’t fully translate to game conditions just yet. I’m sure in a few years the tech will improve and it will be more translatable to real world conditions.

This is a great idea.

Sure. I think he was a practice squad guy during the offseason. Anyone remember A.J. Tarpley?

$500? Is this a joke? Is this a question posed to the homeless? Does anybody have a clue here? I paid $500 for a ticket to XXVII!

I literally just said the same thing in my head 20 seconds ago

You can’t bomb knowledge…they know how to make a nuke and that’s still there

If this gets messier Trump, for his own good, should ask Congress for at least authorization for military activity. If he goes it alone, this potential mess will be all his. Iran does have the potential to put the squeeze on him by threatening the flow of oil, if they are smart enough to push that button Trump's life gets way more uncomfortable

I seriously doubt Beane is refusing to pay the man. However, very few players (Allen and Mahomes aside) get to simply demand their salary. It appears Cook has attempted to do this on social media. He must be willing to negotiate. We have no idea what is happening behind closed doors. He may be privately engaged in earnest negotiations. I have no doubt the Bills are making serious offers. We'll see where it lands.

The esteemed barrister that goes by the handle ChiGoose, has already declared the action blatantly unconstitutional. Turrentine is, therefore, wrong.

Well, he's the former Russian president, so... Is he any less truthful than Trump?

Agreed! And let’s also reiterate the TRUE origins of this Iran-Israel-U.S. conflict, lest the PPP warmongers try to obfuscate otherwise: the 1953 coup in Iran and the 1948 Nakba. I’m anti-American Empire, not pro-Iran. I am in favor of national sovereignty and human rights while against unnecessary wars and collective punishment. My first instinct of distrusting government claims of WMD’s is a consequence of growing up in the post-9/11 era. What you deem to be a sign of mental illness is what I consider to be a sign of basic intelligence. No, I don’t believe we will see the evidence in under 10 years or ever. As a concerned American citizen, it’s not that I need the specific intelligence made public to me. I just need various trusted third parties to see the evidence in private and then to publicly confirm that the claims are legitimate. I’m a girl, actually, but thank you for your kind words! You’re a good poster, too. This forum could use more people like yourself who can sustain political discussions and debate. Also: I’m a social democrat and not a communist or even a socialist, but don’t expect BillsFanNC to ever understand the distinction. The “comrade” in my name is a tongue-in-cheek thing. P.S. A friend of Muppy is a friend of Commie Kay! I hear ya, but I’m just super pessimistic that the current Iranian regime can be ousted without American boots on the ground. Moreover, I’m far from confident that a replacement regime would be any better for the world or for Iranians. Love ya, Mups! << hugs Muppy >> << punches Leh-nerd because…reasons >> “Imminent” = on the order of days or weeks or months, not a year or longer. There has been ZERO evidence suggesting the danger was imminent. Trump and Netanyahu opted out of diplomacy way too soon for, I believe, reasons that I’ve already articulated. You’re presenting a fork-in-the-road situation as if both choices are of approximately equal caliber in rationale. What happened to the Leh-nerd who is uber-skeptical of government power, the establishment, the deep state, and what not?? You seem to be suspending a lot of your innate distrust when it comes to this particular dilemma.

He's a cartoon character. I never took anything Daffy Duck said seriously - just enjoyed the entertainment. The same holds true with the cheetah.
