Take a joke bro. It was all said in jest. Relax.

Again, we had Tyrod Taylor.

When you can lead a team to the playoffs with Tyrod Taylor as your QB, you are an elite coach IMO.

When you have basically only blowout wins and close losses it is more a reflection of bad luck than anything else. 6 games is in no way shape or form a statistically significant sample size (most agree its more like 100 events, but some say more like 30). Flip a coin 6 times and there is a decent chance you may get heads 6 times or tails 6 times. Toss it 100 times and you are going to get something like somewhere between 35-65 split almost every time. Players care about wins and losses, not by how much. That's for fans to nitpick about.

"The path was so easy this year" is such a bunch of crap. The only path that is important is the one to the SB. And that goes through the chiefs 3 years ago, 2 years ago, this season, and will next season as well. And even if we won, we still had 2 more games to go. So please stop with that non-sense.

No need, you are going on my ignore list now. Anyone who says "snowflake" is a complete tool who I have no desire to read what they write or engage with. But go ahead, get your last word in, because I guarantee you are that type of guy that just absolutely has to.

Very well may have. But to call for him to be fired is absolutely absurd. And that is what many are doing.

Ahhh, so you are one of those type of guys who has to take the last sentence of a poster and copy it to theirs. So petty. What are you, 12 years old?

So giving up 2 TDs in the final 2 minutes doesn't qualify as choking, but giving up 2 plays does. Got it. One step further....how many years being a head coach did it take Reid to win a SB? It took him 21 seasons. 7 to even get to it. Now he's widely considered one of the best coaches.

So, if we won the coin toss would everyone be saying that Andy Reid choked away that game and be calling for heads? Didn't think so.

I was going to say that "a lot" is a stretch here, but then I looked it up and there are 8 currently on a roster. I was pretty surprised there were so many.

My favorite athlete of all time, Rickey Henderson, once put it this way. When you have a Ferrari you don't go out driving it, pushing it when it needs some sort of maintenance/repair. You put it in the garage until its 100% ready to go. (Speaking of himself and a DL stint with a tweaked hamstring). Much like Rickey, Lamar is dependent on that freakish athletic ability, you don't put him out there when he's not 100% and can cause further damage. He is an ineffective pocket restricted passer.

Ariens is the brand you want for snow blowers.

So out of touch that you are still calling weed "dope." Too funny.

Only stat that matters is team W/L record.

Metallica with Danzig and Suicidal Tendencies at Darien Lake when I was in 8th grade (1994 maybe?). Me and a buddy with his dad as a chaperone. We ditched his dad almost immediately. Met him later at the car and he didn't even say a word about it.

While I totally agree with you and practice that philosophy myself, the psychological side of it is basically saying that if you are willing to have debt (again, beyond mortgage) you are more likely to be looser with your spending as a whole because you don't have the mental relation of seeing your cash do down immediately when you borrow. So, people tend to buy more using credit of some sort then they would if they felt the immediate pain of using cash. In your example of the car, people would more likely be willing to buy a more expensive car when they take out a loan (especially at these rates) vs paying with cash. Am I a psychologist and back this up with anything? No. But that is my understand of some things I've read on it.

There are competing theories on this. Some believe that you should not have any debt (except possibly a mortgage) before you save any money beyond an emergency fund. That is not as common, but provides a psychological element to it which helps you cut back on you spending, create good habits etc. and then when you don't have the debt any longer you'll have plenty of extra money to invest heavily. Most folks, however, invest while still having other debts. Me included. Definitely best practice to at a bare minimum get your employer match on the 401k. Beyond that I prefer Roth IRA, that way you know exactly what you have and won't have to pay taxes on it in the future. I believe Vanguard is the best, Fidelity is also very highly thought of, I just like the Vanguard Funds personally. Do try to be an expert investor, just buy Mutual Funds and let the professionals do the work for you. Buy it and don't even look at it, just let it do its thing. Recommendation is 10% of income towards it. But the more you can save now, the more time it has to earn and compound.

That they can win the Super Bowl. That's it. This is complete and utter insanity.

Was standing at Wegmans staring at the prepared foods section and talking to myself about how much mashed potatoes I should buy. Admittedly I was mumbling out loud and I'm sure the person standing next to me could hear me. When I looked up and saw the person's face, it was Jack Eichel (pre disaster stage). I didn't say anything to him but I thought it was pretty funny that Jack was probably like "is this dude really talking to himself about mashed potatoes"? I leave these guys alone. I'm an adult. That sort of stuff should be for kids only. A friendly "Go Bills" is fine or just a quick hello, but pictures, autographs, prolonged discussion on your opinion on the Bills, leave it be.

No xbox series X or playstation5? That stinks.

Nope. NFL or MLB network depending on where we are in the seasons. ESPN morning schedule is unwatchable. I miss the days where they just repeated the 2am SportsCenter all morning long...you know, when SportsCenter was mostly made up of highlights, not opinions.

Senior at Cornell. Woke up, housemate told me about the first plane crash and watched on the news for a few minutes before heading to class. Got to class and saw a second plane had crashed on the lobby tv. After class saw that the first building had collapsed on that same TV and then watched the second building collapse at my house. By that time classes had been cancelled. Obviously a lot of NYC relationships for the folks living in Ithaca. I can clearly remember numerous people on campus crying trying to call loved ones but unable to get through to anyone. It was a very surreal experience for sure.

Disgusting.

Josh Allen is one injury away from losing 10s even 100s of millions of dollars. Beane is another great year away from having to pay 10-15M more per season. I think they both are eager to get it done now. They are just handling it way better in the media than others have.
