  1. Team Kiper for life! Just kidding though, hopefully Todd and anyone else with Covid has a speedy recovery.
  2. Coincidence this thread got to 420 pages today? I think not!
  3. Is this going to turn into one of those, what color is the dress? Internet things? red!!
  4. Also, the further removed they are from the people that elected them, the less trustworthy. And the more money and power and influence at their disposal the less trustworthy. that’s why the founders created a republic and enacted a constitution, not that those two things mean much anymore.
  5. and people actually vote and support this drunk moron. Blows my mind. What they never get is that I wouldn’t have really held that interview against her. It’s the stunning hypocrisy and then going back to the racism defense.
  6. he was asked a question about political rallies, dummy.
  7. Go back to sleep child, let the adults handle this. Another NPC for the ignore list!
  8. another reason to separate western New York from Downstate. They are literally totally different and to apply mitigation standard for nyc to Rochester and buffalo is absurd.
  9. I caught The Herd for a few minutes today and all they were talking about was how Covid19 was systematic racism or something like that. Anyway, went to the cdc website to check it out and according to the cdc demographic reporting information as of 4/14, there were 398,852 confirmed coronavirus cases in the US. 78% of them were reported with “race unspecified”. Only 22% had “race specified”, so 88,078. Of the cases with “race specified” 64% were reported to be white. Now, the white population in the US is around 72% as of 2016. However, in NYC where this has been the hardest hit for obvious reasons (world gateway, density, public transport) the white population is only 42.7%. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html Point being, how does Covid19 reflect racism or something? Doesn’t make much sense.
  10. kareem Hunt won a Super Bowl? im not saying take all RBs off the board. Just that it’s not a huge need. I wouldn’t take one in the second unless there was a no brainer. Bills need other positions more IMHO.
  11. It’s not an extreme dug in position to say that the Bills are solid at RB and it’s not a pressing need but if the opportunity presents itself, take one, but likely wait until the later mid rounds so you can address more impactful positions where there is a bigger need (edge, cb, wr, OL, LB) how many of the RBs in your first link have a Super Bowl victory? One?
  12. What are you talking about? Another RB is most likely not going to get the Bills a super bowl trophy. And the Bills already have a very good one in Singletary. When was the last time a stud RB carried a team to a Super Bowl? You'd probably have to go back to 2014 with the Seahawks and Lynch and I'd argue that Wilson was far more important to that team. Since then, here are the Super Bowl starting RBs, winning team first. 2020 - Damian Williams and Raheem Mostert 2019 - Sony Michel and Todd Gurley 2018 - LaGarrett Blount and Sony Michel 2017 - LaGarrete Blount and Devonta Freeman 2016 - Royce Freeman and Jonathan Stewart 2015 - Jonas Gray or pick one and Lynch Again, not saying to necessarily do ANYTHING, just not that big of a priority. Certainly would not use a 2nd on one unless it was Walter Payton or something.
  13. I am not saying the definitely should try to improve with another RB, I just don't see it as much of a priority as others. Sure, if Adrian Peterson or Barry Sanders drops to them in the second, go for it. Otherwise, use the 2nd and 3rd to get an Edge rusher, maybe another tackle, even a WR. There are always RBs available in FA and later in the draft.
  14. I agree with the premise. Do the Bills need another RB on the team, I'd say no, they don't need it. It would be nice to have another RB that's an upgrade over Jones and Yeldon, but definitely not a necessity. If I were the Bills FO, I'd price out a few of the RBs still on the market and see who might be available in Rounds 4, 5, 6, and 7 and decide where the best bang for the buck is. Two things I would absolutely not do is draft an RB in Round 2 or 3 or sign a big deal with a FA.
  15. No RB before round 4, preferable 5 or later. Don’t care who.
  16. It’s easy to say life is full of risks until you find yourself in a car accident, or a plane crash, or slip and fall in the shower, or get in a skiing accident, or get some other illness, or fall off a ladder, or drown while swimming, or get mugged, or choke on your dinner. Seriously though, what level of risk is acceptable for you?
  17. the media is by far the biggest issue in our society. I’m not quite sure how it can be fixed. More information and more access is a great start, but it’s raised the level of hysteria to unfathomable levels. And who really has the time to sift through everything, most certainly not the average American. Most Americans are drowning their level of consciousness in social media, video games, reality tv, etc, not to mention the even more destructive vices. For many of those that do try to follow, they rely on sources that confirm their bias so they dig deeper into positions. I am mostly in approval of DJT, primarily because he’s done a lot to expose them for what they are, some policy decisions, and his general tendencies to err on the side of federalism (although that’s not absolute), but you do sometimes have to take the bad with the good. His approach is a necessary step I guess. Love seeing him humiliate the press though.
  18. Trump just bodybagged the ministry of truth. Wow.
  19. I know, it shouldn't be. I am not saying that at all. I am saying that within the authority to regulate interstate commerce is the only authority I see that the government should be exercising with regards to the pandemic. Which could come into effect but has nothing to do with states opening up or how they govern themselves. agreed. I am not suggesting it be used beyond the strict interpretation.
  20. Could be solely limited to interstate commerce, which would fall under the federal government, but I guess I read it to mean everything. Schools, Bars, Businesses, Social Distancing, etc... I agree, he hasn't done this up to this point, as evidence by no national lockdown order.
  21. I disagree with this position. IMHO, the President can certainly consult and advise Governors, States, and Municipalities, but I think it should be up to them how to navigate this crisis. If that doesn't work and the country needs a central authority to direct all actions of the states, then the Congress should propose an amendment, pass it, let the states vote on it, and see what happens. We can't just adhere to the Constitution when it's convenient. In fact, when it's the least convenient is when it's most important to adhere to it. Just one person's opinion.
