  1. All incorrect. When commercial aviation was "a luxury", total fatalities began a steep climb. 1200 in 1961, 1800 in '72, 1700 in '96. After Congress INCREASED the minimum required flight hours for commercial pilots to be licensed as such to 1500. Since this law in 2012, fatalities have plummeted. With the huge shortage of pilots looming, the airline industry recently tried to cut the requirement in half. The FAA refused. There is no "rushing through training--it is longer now than it had been for decades (when flying was "a luxury"). From 11/03 to 11/04, less than 1% of flights listed as weather delays and 1.71% cancelled. From 11/23 to 11/24, 1% weather delays, 1.26% cancelled. Nothing has changed. Boeing certainly has it's quality issues. But planes in service have incredibly complex and rigorous certifications and scheduled maintenance that are ongoing. Also, the air traffic control system needs more staff and major equipment upgrades to handle this volume. "Cutting flights in half" would not have allowed this plane to land safely. Hard landing with crosswind correction.
  2. Mahomes Sr. v Johnny Rocker, you say....?
  3. Watson was, at best, a flash in the pan years ago. There's nothing there. Have to draft a QB.
  4. Agreed. Browns have no QB. They won't win a single extra game with Hunter. He would be a fancy hood ornament, like Sauce Gardiner.
  5. Rodgers, Hall, Wilson Prescott, Dowdle, Lamb
  6. Ware would be Nate Peterman to Peete's Tom Brady
  7. because he was being bullied read the article. It will prevent you from making this mistake a 4th time
  8. in the land of the blind, the 1 eyed man is King...
  9. show us were "he literally just lied to set up a lawsuit". you can use the article the OP posted.
  10. He would be the best WR on the roster as soon as he parked his car. Also, Higgins>>>>Price.
  11. What did he lie about. Did you read that article? no he didn't
  12. he had already appeared in about 10 films by his 1978 SNL appearance, most recently in "Roots". he was there more as an actor, his football career was on fumes.
  13. might as well toss Bob Gagliano in there...
  14. Rodney Peete was really bad....he can't be on this list lol
  15. Martin concurs with what the Wells report reported. The OPs linked article nowhere says Matins claim was "built on a lie". It's just him saying he should have handled it differently. Not sure how many here read the article. The facts aren't in dispute. The NFL investigation into Snyder was flawed, but it did result in him stepping down as day to day operations person. A subsequent and parallel House Committee investigation confirmed financial and workplace improprieties resulting in criminal investigation. He was gone not long after that. So saying the "only thing that happened" was a coach was blackballed is not correct.
  16. I don't think the non appearance in the playoffs is a meaningful measure of a WR's value. Maybe the QB position is overvalued--Bengals, Cowboys, Jags, Dolphins (4 of top 5 annual contract salaries) didn't make the playoffs. Nobody here would not swap out for Miami or Cincy's top 2 receivers.
  17. Tarkenton is the only non SB winner NFL player to host. All the rest had rings. Alex Karras doesn't count because he was already an actor with multiple credits.
  18. Where's the fabrication? " The report found that Richie Incognito, John Jerry and Mike Pouncey harassed Martin, another offensive lineman and a member of the training staff. It described "sexually explicit remarks" about members of his family and said that "at times [Martin was] ridiculed with racial insults and other offensive comments." "His teammates called him names and said racist things to his face. They made misogynistic comments. On the spectrum of behavior in football locker rooms, it was extreme, he said." "He said most people, especially those who didn't play the game, might think what happened to him was bullying. But men who sweat and grunt and bang heads for a living often act a certain way when they are around each other." "I should have stood up to it more," he said. "I should have been like, 'Look, this is wrong.'" All he's saying now is that he wished he had handled it differently. Incognito did these things. The article doesn't exonerate him in any way.
  19. I got lost at West Seneca East, lol.
  20. Beane brings in a bunch of "proven guys" each year. And here we are...
  21. Benford if he’s healthy. Cook but for 10-12. The other guys can walk and no one would notice
  22. why does he keep hiring bad ST coordinators? Anyway, Ciano was Strength coach of the year in 2020. This season, the Bills had the least money locked up in guys on IR or PUP in the NFL> Did this guy just forget how to condition Bills players? Guys get injured, some make it all the way back, some don't. Most of that falls on the player, not the guy who trains him. The Lions had far more devastating injuries than the Bills (Lions had the highest points missed per game due to guys on IR or PUP---the Bills hd the least). Did the Lions fire their S and C Coach? It's not clear how McD thinks the next guy will be better at this. There seems to be a thought process that leads to the believe that the next guy will have some magic that no other NFL team's staff has or methods no one else knows, because all serious NFL injuries should now result complete or near complete recovery in all cases......
  23. I was kidding....looks like he was locked on Kelce when he walked past this guy.
