    Bates was actually the most scary for me when I seen him kneeling down. His face was so red and he looked so out of it. I thought it was just heat and I actually told my dad it looked like he was about to pass out. 

    I have no proof of this, but I still think it was the heat. Strenuous exercise in that heat will give you a headache, make you dizzy and disoriented. Put that all together and they have to put him on the protocol.

  2. I’ve been in that stadium in November sitting in the sun and it was unbearable. It was much hotter here yesterday than it was during that November game. I don’t think players should be subjected to that whether NFL or college. Guys having to get multiple IVs is just wrong. Some may remember Korey Stringer, Vikings lineman that died from heat stroke. After that incident the NFL put protocols in place for practices. Why are these not applicable to games? Why no shade on visitors side? Why no air conditioned tents? Do you think that the technology doesn’t exist to cool the field? I’ve read that the Bills new stadium’s field will be heated. I’m afraid it’s going to take another death before the NFL and NCAA to react. That game became so painful just to watch I wanted them to walk off and forfeit. If a team can refuse to take the field because the condition of the turf will endanger players (I think it was the Raiders at the Vet in Philly), why isn’t the same true for weather conditions?

    I lived in Delray and Boca during 4 separate internships I did in college in the mid 80's with IBM (remember when they were there?).  In Delray there was a cool bar right on the beach we used to go to all the time can't remember the name - years later I took a trip to the area with my wife to check out all my old haunts - most of them gone.   The neighborhood of the house I lived in Delray (couldn't tell you where now) had gone downhill - there were bars on all the windows.  Had a good time in my time there.

    Bostons? There are not really any bad neighborhoods in Delray anymore.

    Do they make, build, research, invent anything down there? (Besides gold chains, boob jobs). Seriously, what do they ADD to human society in S FLorida? Kind of lame really. 

    How about medical research? University of Miami Jackson Memorial, University of Florida Scripps Biomedical Research and the Mayo Clinic Neurology and Neurosurgery in Jacksonville, you should give them a call.

    South Florida is great...along the shore. Go inland and we can have a discussion who's the bigger s***hole.

    Depends how far inland, western Broward County is a lot of affluent golf communities, but the I95 corridor is sketchy. Coral Gables is inland in Dade, it pretty nice. Palm Beach County, where I live, is largest county in Florida. There are some nice communities inland, (I don’t want to live in any of them, I live a block from the beach). Way out west near the lake those communities are poor, a lot of NFL players come from there.

     

    I live about an hour from Miami, Miami Beach is great, Biscayne Bay is beautiful. Out where the stadium is isn’t great. As far as fans go, I’ve been to a bunch of Bills games there, only had two bad experiences, one with a Bills fan. Having spent years in the bar, restaurant business I can say with some authority that most drunk people are stupid and stupidity supersedes geography.

    It's Florida. Nothing shocks me about Florida. Ever. It's a horrible place full of horrible people. I hate going there and wouldn't live there for free.

    I don’t believe we’ve ever met, and yet you have classified me.

  6. I think being on top of the division matters more after week 17 than week 1. 
     

    My reaction after watching that game is, when Tua attempts a long pass it takes forever to get there and Mac still can throw over the middle. Pass to Waddle was nice, but other than that Tua looks the same. Hills yards came on run after catch. Patriots are bad, before the season started I had them going 7-10, I think they will be lucky to win 7.

    Please excuse the novice question here, but this puzzled me last night during the Steelers vs Bengals game:

     

    I know the Bengals long snapper was injured and they used (I think) a TE to snap for the field goals, which didn't go so well and negatively impacted the kicking operation.  So, my question is, why did they not just use their Center to snap on special teams instead of the TE?  Surely that would have been a better option? 

     

    Thanks in advance. 👍

    My reaction was the same. Center snaps to QB in shotgun all the time, how much harder could it be?
