We should've traded A. Williams when his stock was high
....lybob replied to FireChan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This and the fact that Aaron Williams lacks the hips and closing speed to be a good corner should be a surprise to no one as that was in many of his pre-draft analysis - along with the analysis that he could be a very good safety -
Trading Lynch made marketing sense because there was a large vocal contingent of Bills fans that just hated him for being a thug (hit and run 2008, misdemeanor gun charge 2009 in L.A.) and keeping him there was a strong chance of a long suspension - just looking at his on field talent he is my preferred type of RB a grinding tackle breaker who has very few negative plays, his pro play has surprised me in that he has shown much more power but is less slippery and has not really shown the receiving prowess I expected after watching him in college. For the "what if crowd" you can always question what if we had kept Lynch and taken someone like Demaryius Thomas instead of Spiller.

Does POTUS Really Think We Are This Stupid?

yeah but it's been a shell game for at least 25 years and you can't predict when the economy will implode any better than Harold Camping could predict the return of Jesus. -

I would like it if a person could buy medicine without a prescription out of pocket, though I freely acknowledge a large potential for bad consequences. -

wheel talk has been done already Round Like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning On an ever spinning reel Like a snowball down a mountain Or a carnival balloon Like a carousel that's turning Running rings around the moon Like a clock whose hands are sweeping Past the minutes of it's face And the world is like an apple Whirling silently in space Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind ! -

Another Victory For Obamacare???
....lybob replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The answer is separating healthcare from work - ie single payer which would 1. get rid of a lot of paper work demands for most businesses 2. put small businesses on a more equal footing with large businesses 3. free people who stay at jobs they hate because they are afraid to lose their health care single payer would be a boon for small businesses but small businesses only get lip service from the republicans - who only do actual work for their corporate masters -

Jim is a cretan wow that must have been a long trip by square sail and oar, lost on a trade mission? sick of King Minos? fleeing the Dorians ? it does explain his bronze age thinking and worship of bull -

When IRS agents are around he wears a bear suit gets into the garbage and starts eating to dissuade them - when the IRS isn't around he forgoes the bear suit.

Where is The Fan Confidence Level in This Staff ?

agree 100% you get better by acquiring talent fast than you lose it and this front office is pretty bad at it - you don't miss 13 14 years of playoffs because you are unlucky it's because you are bad at your job. -

IBM now has more employees in India than USA
....lybob replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
This isn't a bug it's a feature of neo-liberal economics, and outsourcing hasn't been merely allowed it has be incentivized by tax and trade policy - does anyone not realize that neo-liberal economics is about the rise of the multinational corporations and the fall of the power of the nation-state , that a rough equalization of labor costs between the developed world and developing world is one of their goals..........which is great if you're in China and you're income has increased from $1200 to $2400 but kinda sucks if you're in the US and you've loss your $80,000 job and if you are lucky you'll get a job that pays half that in the same field, unlucky and you are doing warm body work with the high-school drop-outs or siting home wondering how long you can hold on to the house. Oh and tech jobs have been moving to India for a long time now, I had a friend who was a "software engineer" for a bank and the Indianization of his IT dept probably started 15 years ago but at least he had a nice ten year run or so of good yearly raises and retention bonuses before it happened and he managed to hold on to his job for 12 years after it started even if his workplace changed from happy and optimistic to bitter and paranoid. Our government is run by the people who pay the campaign bills and that is large corporations which are mostly multinational and don't give flying !@#$ about anything not related to their bottom line and the only time you got a chance to influence policy is when there is a split in corporate policy (If say the Financial community lines up on one side of an issue and say Big oil and the Military Industrial complex lines up on the other side) then popular opinion can sway the argument but if the corporate interest is in lock step then public opinion be damned. But while our corporate overlords and their government lackeys don't give a damn about the average American they do like to use American economic and military power as a cudgel to keep other countries in line and as the average America consumer loses buying power the American market is diminished and that whip-hand which is threat of exclusion from that market is diminished. So while these multinational CEOs don't care about us they care quite a bit about not being able to write the regulations and in case of trade disputes being locked out of rapidly growing markets into shrinking markets but they really don't know what to do about it (it's a lot easier to give away the store than to buy it back). Expect a panicked return to nationalism by these globalist pricks in the next 5-10 years as they do the math ( America's middle-class decimated = American no longer the predominate country= the world economy no longer running on our agenda) there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth at this point. -
Freeman to the Minnesota Vikings

What the Bills should do is suck mightily and hope for Clowney or a top QB they can leverage into a bunch of picks -
The time to trade Byrd was before the 2013 NFL draft for a first rd pick in 2014- the Bills are like that guy who refuses to sell his car until it sits rusting in his yard a couple years losing value .

you get a jar of Grey Poupon with that? -
I'd bench Spiller not because I'm down on him but because smaller RBs need to have their legs 100% healthy to be effective - a 230lbs north south power runner could get away with being a little more banged up

There is not a dang thing wrong with Buffalo that 50,000 middle-class jobs wouldn't solve but I'm sure just about every city in trouble could say the same thing.

Greenpeace members shocked at jail conditions
....lybob replied to Just Jack's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
if you are planning going to jail , make sure it's a rich liberal country because at best you'll live like an average citizen, many Russians are lucky to have one room above freezing during the winter, also during the winter tobacco is about as close to a vegetable as they get.
