  1. No I have never been to San Fransisco, so please enlighten me. My interest here wasn't in the political side of this issue per se (I live in DC I get enough of that), my interest was in the fact that a player on team in what I assumed was the most gay friendly city in America saying he loves eating at a restaurant that many in that said city, including the mayor, called a bigoted corporation. I'd like to know how that's playing in SF, I you know, please share. Sorry if I offended you somehow.
  2. Anyone else find it slightly amusing that a player that lives in a metro area with the largest gay population in the country saying that "One of my favorite spots to eat in Ohio is at Chick Fil-A. I think I went to Chick Fil-A almost every day." Politics aside, I'd imagine you wouldn't want to antagonize your fan base, regardless if you think they're right or wrong on an issue like this .... even if you probably don't get or understand the issue (which seems like the case here with Donte's pea brain). Personally, I've never liked Chick Fil-A, thought it was bonehead for a company to effectively antagonize half their customer base, and dumb when mayors accross the country pledged to keep the restaurants out, and even dumber when idiots had rally around the restaurant day. But for Donte, I dont see any upside mentioning this to your fan base on your team website. Thoughts? http://www.49ers.com/news/article-2/Whitners-Blog-Facing-Old-Friends/181c1c05-db91-4067-b18e-ea0a12fb5b46
  3. That's why I hate to put down another Bills fan expressing their pride. And I like how they trolled Schefter. And the fact that Bills players are down with it is nice. And charity fundraising speaks for itself. But I still cringe. And I was under the impression that this was high school kids, not a grown man with kids. I'm sure the guy is nice and all but #billsmafia and "OG's" just sound so damn silly. Those that live out of town probably understand. I just hope it dies out soon.
  4. I hate to put down other Bills fans in their support for our team, but does #BillsMafia make anyone else cringe when the hear or see it? I know I do.
  5. As Jim Kelly famously said: "Men of the square table, there is always something that has bothered me: fans who leave the game before its over just to beat the traffic." Argument over.
  6. Peter King is THE worst. All the garbled syntax, all the stories that go nowhere, all the equivocating...the use of LOFTIER and misuse of PRECOCIOUS, I cannot stand that man. He's been retired on the job for almost a decade now. If you havent read Fun with Peter King on Mondays, I would strongly suggest it. http://kissingsuzykolber.uproxx.com/2012/08/peter-king-questions-a-city-without-starbucks.html
  7. Hah, I'm assuming you meant women instead of children. 10 women if I recall correctly, the last one had twins!
  8. What's even worse, a lot of charities like this are increasingly getting rather creative on what they spend their money on - that 10% could go entirely to administrative costs - salaries, rent, vehicles, utilities, etc. and not on what the mission of the organization is. Fortunately, there are websites like Charity Navigator ( http://www.charitynavigator.org/ ) and others that actually rate Charities on such things as their financial health and transparency and accountability (you know, things that are pretty important). I'm pretty sure most people in the nonprofit world take these ratings pretty seriously, so if a charity isn't listed there (can't locate Maybin, Ferguson or CC's), they're probably not real charities.
  9. I've heard before how charities run by athletes (and rich people of all stripes) can sometimes just be vehicles to enrich friends and relatives. I've never actually seen anything that lays it out like this. Pretty disgusting. TBD's favorite son is also involved: Gang Green linebacker Aaron Maybin claims on his Web site that he has a nonprofit to help poor kids and that donations are tax-deductible. But his charity is registered as a for-profit company. http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/it_jock_crock_rb6wV1sD4xhjejETfpRP3I
  10. For what it's worth, it looks like all of Bell's "entourage" are gearing up for the Eagles.... https://twitter.com/#!/Kedaweee23 https://twitter.com/#!/_Scrooge_McDuck
  11. This was the response they gave me. I asked them why they couldn't just send the Bruce Smith replacement out WITH the return shipping label but that was totally sidestepped. To me, I think its BS and if I were you I'd get that refund ASAP. Who knows if they'll even be in business next week. Good Morning, Thank you for contacting me with your concern. What had happened is the shipping department ended up grabbing off of the wrong pallet, therefore sending out the wrong item. We have all of the Bruce Smiths in the warehouse, and we are having people send back the David Oritz so we can send them out the correct item. The reason it says sold out on the website is because all of these items have sold, but were just miss shipped. It is not a scam it was just an honest mistake that unfortunately we did not catch in time. I hope this helps to answer your question. If you have any more questions or concerns please feel free to contact me. Warmest Regards, Nicole Adams Customer Service www.GraveyardMall.com
  12. This is pretty funny. I got referred to this from a friend and after I ordered I saw the link on here. Like everyone else it took 3 weeks and lots of complaining to give me the proper USPS tracking info - why the hell didn't they just give it to us in the first place? On Tuesday I finally go it, but I didn't take a look at it until everyone said they were receiving the Ortiz. Sure enough, his ugly mug was on the package. When I emailed them again, they tried pulling the crap "we'll send you the return tracking, and once we receive it you'll get your new fathead." I wasn't going to fall for that, especially since the website says it is sold out. Just got my refund today, thank god! I'll probably try and dump the Ortiz on craigslist, but the lesson here is if it sounds too good to be true, it is! For anyone that is returning Ortiz and getting the Bruce, let us know how that goes! I wanna see if theyll actually get it right this time!
  13. Working from home today and I had Colin Cowherd on ESPN tv. Never really watched/heard the guy before but I've obviously heard an earful about the guy from this board. So I'm doing some work and I hear the guy scream "GM of Cubs is fired! GM of Cubs is fired! I'm breaking this!" Then goes back and says, "hold on, I need confirmation." After commercial he says "my bad I just read speculation." Does this go on regularly with this idiot? That sounds pretty irresponsible, especially if for the last 10 minutes you've screamed that the media hasn't acted rationally about LeBron. http://www.prosportsdaily.com/forums/showthread.php?p=17880034
  14. Anybody else think the Chan Gailey "History of Saggin' " is a little wierd/hilarious?
  15. Can you elaborate?? Jaded as in you like the guy or you don't?
  16. or maybe McKelvin misunderstood what was told to him. Last time I checked, he doesn't have that great of a vokabularie.
  17. Did anyone see Florio's comment regarding the score? "That said, scoring too high can be as much of a problem as scoring too low. Football coaches want to command the locker room. Being smarter than the individual players makes that easier. Having a guy in the locker room who may be smarter than every member of the coaching staff can be viewed as a problem — or at a minimum as a threat to the egos of the men who hope to be able when necessary to outsmart the players, especially when trying in some way to manipulate them." http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/28/greg-mcelroy-gets-a-48-on-the-wonderlic/ Do you think this is true regarding QB's??? Now if we're talking about a CB, LB, ect, I could see this. But a QB? He's supposed to be the leader of the team...a guy who can and will challenge the coach AND be smart by doing it behind closed doors. I just don't see this as an issue with a QB. Thoughts?
  18. except donahoe probably saw what was on the horizon. i think at that time he had quite a few kids already and I believe he had failed a few drug tests. this has been hashed over a few times. Remember how quickly he was suspended in 05 for violating the drug policy? He had a few strikes against him already. Obviously the bills should/coulda/woulda went about it a little differently, like oh maybe trading a two time 1300+ rusher before the draft, but hindsight is always 20/20.
  19. troups haha. i bet torrell would like that. thanks for the laugh and merry xmas
