A shot at Boone? ... "They got a great ballclub, it starts with their manager. Mendy, I've seen him for years here, he's going to get the boys fired up, ready to go. It's a great ballclub." - Aaron Judge on the Mets

No clue.

There's nothing to talk about. We've had all of the conversations about receivers, about Cook, about the defense, about not winning the Super Bowl, about just about everything. Since there's nothing left to talk about, I find myself thinking about how amazingly good this football team has gotten. I say it often; when McDermott and Beane got here, they said they were going to build a team that keeps getting better and better, and that is what they've done. I've been thinking since I saw the thread about the Bills being the favorite, at least clearly in the top three, to make it to the Super Bowl. We can argue about whether we agree or not, but the reality is that among the bookmakers and bettors, there is a clear consensus that the Bills are at the very top of the league. And it's a bigger consensus than it was a year ago and two years ago. Granted, everyone thought the Bills would have a down season last year, but their success last season has convinced many people outside of western New York that the Bills were genuinely good last season and only got better in the off-season. And it's not simply because the Bills have Allen and because he's just that good. Put aside that Beane did a masterful job identifying Allen as the talent he is and then managing the draft to be able to get him; people around the country are recognizing that the other 21 starters, and the bench, make this a seriously good football team. And the Bills are set up to get better in the 2026 season, with the QB under contract, the salary cap getting back in order, and the opportunity to add more young talent in the draft. Everyone is looking at the Bills as a model franchise. Everyone thinks it's when, not if, the Bills win the Lombardi. Hats off to McDermott and Beane. Now, '25, '26 '27, is the time complete the climb to the top.

I called you a liar because you lied. Is that clear? Should be.

And it’s going to be 1,293 painfully predictable days of you guys blaming Biden, deflecting like pros, and having full emotional meltdowns every time your Fox News government trips over its own mediocrity. Buckle up.

Oh??

Goodness gracious. Some fans would defend Hitler if he was in a Bills jersey.

Of course it matters. My point (well one of many points) was, even in a "worst case scenario", both parties can come out of it, and fans can move on with their lives.

Yes, it absolutely matters if your assumptions are right or wrong as you state a case. You appear to make a compelling argument about her life going off track, but let’s not pretend we have ever even met either of them. I’ll try to remember that we have no idea what happened, why it happened or how it happened. I could lay out a potentially compelling argument (based upon assumptions) to refute your “assumptions”, but that wouldn’t be fair to anyone, especially the people in the middle of this.

Yep. The hypocrisy. It's only two days after the Texas flood and Dana Bash is already trying to blame Trump for the disaster. This is CNN.

GOAT trajectory.

Only 1293 more days. Enjoy!

The letter was signed by five former National Weather Service directors, including leaders who served under both Democrats and Republicans, like Louis Uccellini, who ran the agency under Obama, Trump, and Biden and warned that NOAA staffing cuts are already affecting response times and coverage. But go off, tell us more about how they’re the ones pushing talking points while you’re out here ignoring experts.

How many hours warning do you need for a flash flood? 12 seems like plenty to "get to higher ground." In fact, you could drive the state of Texas from end to end in under 12. Shylander fails again.

I too was a huge metal and punk fan in the 80s. I went to a preppie HS, and I felt like I was only one listening to Venom or Bathory. I went to a shitton of punk and metal shows! I’m thanked on a Fates Warning album. Long story short, I always loved vinyl and nice systems! I learned many bands from KickAss Monthly and from WNHU, my local college radio station. I bought tons of metal and punk vinyl back then Bathory, Misfits, Sodom, Destruction, Exodus, Overkill. Exciter, Raven, Saint Vitus, Slayer, Melvins, Black Flag, Anthrax, Black Death, Exploited, Candlemass, Mercyful Fate, Kreator, Witchfinder General, etc. I was long time dating a girl who didn’t like that, but loved NIN and Zappa and The Clash. We were moving into a new apartment, and we wanted to declutter. My mother was a religious zealot, and she hated those records. I knew one other kid who listened and appreciated all of that metal and punk. He was kind of an outcast, wrong part of town in snobby town, but a good kid. He worked at a local gas station. I was feeling very generous, we went to the gas station. I gave him a crate of all those bands listed above, and then some. He was super pumped! It felt good for a bit, my conscious was clear. There were 40-50 records in that crate. im huge into vinyl. In some ways, im like what the what the hell did I do? Those records are worth $ and in high demand now. Who would of thought? I’ve tried to track down kid, and even find out, what I gave him.i can remember about 20 of them. I can only imagine what the other albums are . So now I try and track down a copy of every album I can remember. A bunch have been reprinted, and are affordable. Venom - At War With Satan- leather gatefold English pressing was one I gave away

Sorry you're having the sads.

If you are thinking Seinfeld, then you've got to go with Wayne Knight as Newman......usually only on for one scene in a show, but he always said or did something memorable!!

Zero to do with "weather service cuts." More proof Libnuts don't think, they just binge on MSM and vomit out talking points.

All of the above. And this is true.

Bear with me. For the sake of discussion and as a thought exercise I'm going to lay out some stuff, but also make some assumptions. Doesnt matter if the assumptions are wrong as the point is to ultimately provide some perspective and answers... Some things we do know (and some comments in parenthesis): Max was 17 years old at the time of this event. (Most 17 yr olds are not great at impulse control to begin with) Fresh on campus as a highly sought after recruit for a D1 football team. (That hyped up confidence isnt helping the impulse control) There was drinking/drugs involved. (That never helps anyone's decision making or impulse control) He is certainly a personality. (But maybe not as charming as he thinks he is) Now lets just assume (here's the assumptions) everything this young lady alleges is true. Whether you are waiting for more facts to come out or not, for the sake of this post, lets say it all happened. Because frankly, as someone who has been a young, dumb college kid around a lot of athletes and partiers, I can absolutely see something like this happening. Heck, I've probably been 1-2 steps away from it myself... He didnt take no for an answer and got himself into her room. Not violently. He didnt kick the door down. Or threaten her with a gun or knife. But he did force himself into a place he wasnt invited. Some sexual stuff happened even though she told him "no". Again, nothing too violent. He didnt beat her. This is certainly no OJ, or Lawrence Taylor, or even Cornelius Bennett. But it was without her consent and he did it to her body. She filed reports immediately after. Too much "he said/she said" and not enough real evidence, so no charges. She then packs up her life and changes schools. This young lady had her agency taken from her, felt she had to upend her life and change schools (which is no small matter for regular students not getting millions in the transfer portal). Who knows how this threw her own life plans off track. Maybe the new school doesnt have as good of a program for her major. Maybe it costs her more. There are a million different ways this could affect someone in real life, both immediately and for years down the line. Now here we are a few years later. Max just signed a guaranteed $15M+ contract and, if he even has a half-decent first few years, will get another NFL contract when it is up. So we go to civil trial. She is looking for some sort of "justice" or at least some validation and fairness since she had a piece of her taken away that she can't get back, plus whatever BS she had to go through over such a stupid event. Give her $2M-5M. It's a small piece of what he is set to make in his life, and it's enough to set her up for the rest of her life and certainly amend any issues or missteps that this caused. Stash it away as retirement, can draw 2-3%/year and have an extra $75k/yr while not touching the principle. Does it give her her body back? No. Does it help put her life back on the track she likely envisioned the day her parents dropped her off at college and she had her whole future ahead of her? Yeah, I'd say most likely. So there is a the point of what she is doing and why. And here's my bottom line as a fan and even someone who has been an advocate for women in this thread... Even if he does settle or loses the civil trial, I'm not holding it against him. IMO, the offense, while not something I would ever want my son or any man I know to do, isnt so egregious that it makes us into moral hypocrites. Certainly not like many of the other offenses perpetrated by some of our favorite players. He was young, dumb, and made a mistake. She is a victim and deserves some satisfaction. It wouldnt take too much to make that right, and not have to ruin his future either. I hope justice truly prevails and these young adults go on to both live happy lives. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
