May Day 10

On one hand I'm furious. IF anyone has been the brunt of this garbage the most.... it's us. I'd also be really mad if I were manning or the colts. I'm also frustrated that wilson, coaches, and Co kind of stood idly and allowed this to happen I'm our faces. On the other hand, I knew all this was happening and just felt like we were stuck in an eternal stacked deck for the patriots. The way the league and kraft massaged the story and evidence really made being a fan hopeless. The league came at them hard this time though and I truly believe kraft has been put on notice. Why is this ernie adams still allowed to work with the team though?

maybe they just shouldnt cheat? Then there wouldnt be any stories?

so the Patriots "accomplishments" are certainly tainted even more now (if they werent before), right? This is pretty serious stuff.

I'm pretty mad as a fan. Especially since it pointed out that "efforts" were concentrated against Buffalo, Miami, and the Jets. I really think we need a class action suit against the NFL based on all this crap and the fact that they didn't do anything about it. I spent a lot of money and time following this team and being stuck with these cheaters has diminished my returns as a fan... for like 15 years. The media should really hold "good guy" Kraft to the fire on this. The guy who pretended to be "appalled" by the limited info that originally came out about this. Based on that, he should take a stand for fair play and make some changes, apologize to fans, no? Goodell should also be sent off a plank for what he did. The Martz story was deplorable. I actually know one. He is still a fan, but if you press him on the cheating... since deflategate and specifically the Wells report, he admits there is no defending them anymore.

What an untrustworthy shriveled little toad that Bob kraft is, huh?

The article didn't really paint the nfl in a positive light though

The one game that stands out for me was the home game a few years ago (the Spiller fumble game?) The Bills were handling the Pats and led at halftime. The Pats came out of the half with like 3 plays and guessed correctly 100% of the time and scored a TD on like 6 straight possessions. It was either a counter run to Bolden or Ridley, a seam to Gronk, or a quick sideline or slant pass Welker or Lloyd. They "guessed" right every single time and scored 45 second half points. It was uncanny. I have seen halftime adjustments, but nothing like that. Come on.

It would be tough to impose any sort of retro punishments. In a perfect world, I would like to see a period of cap restrictions as well as NFL 'auditors' with full access to all aspects of the organization for an indefinite period of time. I have little doubt that there is much more going on than just the footballs

this is some pretty earth moving stuff. Makes no side look very good. Ultimately itll just get swept under and denied... But I wonder how a guy like Pegula who bought in the same division for $1.4 billion feels about it

its just always been uncanny, the rate at which they "guess" correctly at the line for the past 15 years. I think its starting. Im hoping that people do more and more digging and get more people to open up.

exactly. it really sucks

Event Horizon was forgettable to me too. Maybe Ill give it another try sometime. I cant imagine anything that sci-fi can be that terrifying though. Good case made for the Cloverfield monster. Wouldnt have thought of that. For me, Poltergeist scared the daylights out of me as a kid. I would say Alien would be one of my last choices to encounter (despite their ability to easily mow hundreds down in Aliens).

not a big deal. If things stink and results dont come, the Pegulas will make changes. Until then, Im cool with everything

Who would have guessed that everyone would look good? Lol

I marched into Riverfront Auto Sales to tell them how much I cant stand Schopp and the Bulldog and their vegetable drafts and such. I gave them a piece of my mind because they advertise on WGR.... then a 2013 Mustang caught my eye and I had to take it for a test drive. I loved it and bought it on the spot.... They said they would "look into" pulling their adds I disagree with most of his bull____... but I tune into Rush for a few minutes a day on my drive home for lunch... I think he is entertaining and a great talent. I don't let what he says bother me. The people who are listening for social and political cues are going to feel that way anyways.

Search around the internet before the onsale time. There will be false leads that want you to pay... but you should be able to find it eventually. Check the band/events' Facebook and Twitter too.

Wish it Said "gilmour and waters"

Most notable players over the last 15 years: A punter A flamboyant coach

itll get swept under the rug with the mound of other stuff. Everyones just jealous. Dungy and Manning cant beat Brady so they are jealous. Everyone is haters. The NFL wants to destroy the Patriots. No proof without a reasonable doubt. Circumstantial. Just shut up and beat them on the field. Everybody does it. They would 'win anyways' etc...

My #1 target in my keeper league this year.

It seems to have completely made 'cold' the worst factor of all time and terrible for everyone... no way that erie, niagara county and much of the Adirondacks are worse to live naturally than almost every square inch of Texas, oklahoma, kansas, etc just because we have winter. We also don't have major droughts, weeks during the summer that outside is dangerous, tornados, hurricanes, bugs and reptiles that can and want to kill you, etc... Niagara county has a natural wonder of the world, wine country, freshwater river, whitewater, and a freshwater great lake. Not that I would expect wny to be terribly high on the list that includes climate... it just seems whatever rationale they used just sweeps west to east and cold too hot. Too neat where it should be more of a checkerboard. The bottom of Florida ranked very high... my god I would not want to live there.

Yes. There is a huge difference than just having a screw loose and right clicking/saving photos as an 'end user' and what "Jared" did here. Both bad. I kind of knew a guy who lost his wife painfully through long illness and for some reason coped with it by collecting kiddie porn. Never paid for it, just somehow found volumes of stuff on the internet. He was caught and was completely cooperative (and ashamed), he never paid for it, produced it, etc... just a lonely guy dealing with a lot of ****. He got some time for it and will forever be labelled and rightly so. *I just worked with him back 12 years ago. me and my friend were curious about him and googled him a few weeks ago. My guess is Jared was a fattie and never was able to have any interaction with girls. Also liked porn as a young adult and that was his women interaction. He got 'slim' but more importantly wealthy and something told him he needed to make up for lost time with the young chicks through all this horrible ****.

I'm down with this. I really don't care anymore about off field character. To me, the NFL is a prison league. Too many guys suck to keep track and pass selective judgement. I find it more enjoyable with that mindset. I used to hate dancing after sacks and TDs and such, but learned to embrace it and it made the game more enjoyable back in the day. To the point I get angry when flags are thrown for celebrations now.

there are various levels/layers he could fall on. If he just searches and right clicks/saves stuff then he is not right, but not necessarily a really bad criminal... If he pays for them, then it takes a significant step. That is aiding those who are the 'really' bad dudes If he 'orders' them and makes request and is directly connected to the producers, then it is much worse. Then at the top tier, if he is involved with taking the photos/videos/etc then that is really really bad. Ill say the thing about the 16 year old sex doesn't sound good for his character in that he was 'passively' pushing the legal line in his viewing pleasure. edit: it seems like some deets have come down. Jared deserves some hard time.

Somewhere in a box in my dad's attic, I have a 1985 "participation trophy". It stands about 3 inches high (lol) and has "1985 RED SOX" on it. I was 6 and I was thrilled. We won 1 game that season (I think). Some parents banded their older/bigger kids together and they dominated. I recall one game against a bunch of big fat kids who went on to be miscellaneous nobodies, they would chant 'batter cant hit' and 'swing batter'... all encouraged by their "coach" the entire !@#$ing game. We lost by like 16 runs and parents/coaches almost came to blows over this travesty. 4 of us on that team became extremely good high school athletes and played collegiate sports. We all survived. I recall getting trophies most years in little league and also house hockey when I played... travel hockey too I think... usually at an awesome pool party of some sort (maybe we shouldn't have been allowed to do that either as losers?) it didnt invalidate the desire to win. Teams who won got to celebrate, got bigger and nicer trophies, and had bragging rights at school for a year. The little pieces of plastic aren't superbowl rings and not the goal. The participation trophy angst is stupid and misguided. Off the top of my head, the most successful people I know actually kind if sucked at sports.
