Never heard of Rep Wilson before this blowup. Can't pretend to know everything about her now, but just based on recent reading (so just a general impression) she seems to be a lovely lady with decades of dedicated public service to the community she represents. As for George Zimmerman, on balance of probabilities I think the world would be a better place if Treyvon had taken him out. JMO.

Transactional sex is ok as long as its on offer. I know because I get laid alot (whether I pay for it or not). -
JMO but I think that is going too far. We are all to some extent products of the cultural environment we grew up in. The debate that is today centre stage in America is nothing new. It is a constant and enduring theme of American political life and the conservative voice has had much more eloquent and credible spokesmen than the current president in the past (and probably also today). George Kennan for example is without question one of the greatest American diplomats. He lamented the changes in the cultural configuration of the southwestern United States resulting from Hispanic immigration. This caused Averill Harriman to remark that while Kennan understood Russia he didn't understand America. Kennan was from Wisconsin, Harriman was an Ivy League blue blood born in NYC.

ok my bad, I thought we had concluded that AR was entitled to the same protection outside the pocket as a passer in the circumstances. If you agree with that statement and if you think it would have been flagged had it occured inside the pocket than you would logically have to say it should also be flagged outside the pocket. BTW imo you would be better off referencing someone like Dungy, a real man worthy of respect, to support your argument. I can remember many stupid calls secondary men like Blandino and Perreira defended in their official capacities.

There are two ancient and well known dictums in English law: 1) "The divel himself knoweth not the thought of man" and 2) "The state of a man's mind is as much a fact as the state of his digestion". We will never know what was going on in Barr's mind and actually we don't need to know. All we need do is determine what the visual evidence objectively tells us he can reasonably be considered to have known or ought to have known. He had plenty enuf time to know before contact that AR would be in a vulnerable position and he chose, and I suspect consciously (tho this is not necessary to my conclusion), to land with his full weight (especially damning given the express wording of the rule) on the obviously defenseless AR (instead of opting for a less punishing type of contact). So Mannc 1, 26 0 (in my humble and respectful opinion). I will say that lots of wise heads disagree, for example Tony Dungy, who says it was just football. Still I think I see stuff like that called in the pocket all the time. As for the fumble through the endzone, Corrente agrees that SJ regained possession and control (as in having a firm grip) after bobbling the ball, but he claims there was a second loss of possession as he went to the ground which none of the tape supports. To the contrary, the tape and two AP still frame shots from the back of the endzone show him with a firm handle of the ball as he breaks the plane at the pylon while still in bounds. So 100% coverup and fake news. Next time Corrente shows up in the meadowlands Jets fans should string him up to a goal post and let him hang there till he rots. And whats with Brady doing all the time joining in on on field ref conferences (when all other players get pushed out)? There is another legal sayng, "justice must not only be done, but it must also manifestly appear to be done". Maybe someone should tell those dufusses in the league office how bad that looks.

John McCargo arrested on charges in 2 states
starrymessenger replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He's not that young (unless you're really old). He was never very talented either. Mario made him the player he was at NC State. -
Whenever I've seen him I've always been impressed with Brissett. He's the prospect I wish EJ coulda been but just wasnt.

Should be good. KC is the team most fun to watch on O and we get Watson, Clowney and JJ.

Coach is a fool. Trusts in Folk.

10 second runoff was a killer.
-
Hes throwing like for 150 yrds in the 4th. Not too shabby.
-
I hope it all comes down to Folk again. May the hilarity never end!

Worse QB performance I can remember seeing in a long time. Whats wrong with him?
-
Fair take imo. Assuming injuries dont derail things and MD can get his head out of his pants I think the D can hold up if they are not seeing the field all afternoon. I think AB is underappreciating Gaines and Poyer. If all of that is true and if the Bills are serious about giving it their best shot this year their fortunes will rise or fall based on the performance of the O. Unless they find some WR help they will not be nearly the team they could be. Specifically they need a sure handed good route running legitimate deep ball threat who cn develop chemistry with TT. They can only fnd that via trade (and Arizona would be a good place to knock on the door imo).

Boldin does want to play football
starrymessenger replied to MAJBobby's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Or that guy might be on another team right now. I was thinking trade. Its looking as though the D can hold up its end. Bills season will be a reflection of what the O can (or can't) do. Personally I think finding that guy is critical and of the highest priority if you want to give it your best shot this year. They could perhaps make the playoffs without him, but they could develop into a dangerous team that could surprise if they had a legit deep threat and the chemistry worked out well with Taylor. I like John Brown. -

Bills have enuf possession receivers (if you include Clay). What this offence could use big time is a guy who runs good routes, has good hands and can absolutely take the top off the D. -
Target TY Hilton? Other options at WR?
starrymessenger replied to Dragonborn10's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Thats what I was thinking. Zona can maybe do without him and might unload him for a day three pick though they could ask for a second rounder I suppose but he is a UFA in 2018 so no. If he is healthy again that is a trade I could see happen. I think the Bills will stand pat tho. Maybe they can get a receiver by committee going but personally I think that they could use a burner to take advantage of Taylors long ball and soften things up underneath. I dont think that Philly Brown is that guy. But I do think John Brown is. -
