  1. Talk about a good signing i wish we still had him .
  2. And some 63% of Americans think your boy is doing a S**T job even the people in his party think so but you are the blind being led by the blind & you can't get out of yesterday . AND !!!! I know you are but what am I . Your such a F N Baby ...
  3. And all the while home plate is being moved because of things such as the preservatives the gov't allows to be put in the food that cause disease that they continually ask us to donate to to find a cure for like cancer. Or because of the Auto union worker that says he's pissed because his new foreman won't allow him to sleep on the job (which was what my father did personal experience) or the man at the Harrisons radiator plant that was caught sleeping in the closet instead of performing his job and sent home for 3 days with no pay & the liberal union rep got him back in 1 day plus extra pay for emotional stress . Another personal experience . Or how about the liberal transgender thinking that it's alright for under age people to surgically change their bodies due to supposed positive mental health reasons but it's not okay to drink, drive, vote, get married, own a fire arm, or go into the military until a certain age . Liberal sense at it's best !! How about liberal politicians allowing Fanny Mae to write mortgages & re write mortgages over & over again for properties that in reality are worth nothing near what is being loaned until the bubble bursts in 2008 then they all have to file bankruptsy on a 1500 sq ft 3/2 bedroom home on a 1/4 acre lot on a direct access canal in FL. that was sold for & mortgage allowed at $800k dollars (Again a personal experience from a employee friend of mine in 2008) So seeing as you never quite grasp ANYTHING as it is being put forth and insist on always arguing your liberal counter points which are as foolish as you are & literally couldn't see the forest for the trees while you are standing at the edge of the woods this reply in no ways surprises me at all & you & those like you are exactly what the premise of this post is all about ... Thanks for just one more piece of proof to what we all already have came to a conclusion about where your concerned .
  4. This is a email i received that i thought i would share with you all some will get it others not so much because they do exactly what this imply's but i hope you enjoy the read sorry for it's length but IMHO very worth it !! These are the words of the coach that attended this convention back in 1996 . "17 INCHES" - You will not regret reading this - this is a excellent article to read from the beginning to the end. Twenty years ago in Nashville Tenn. during the first week of January, 1996, more than 4K baseball coaches defended on the Opryland Hotel for the 52nd annual ABCA'S convention . While waited in line to register with the hotel staff, I heard other more veteran coaches rumbling about the lineup of speakers scheduled to present during the weekend. One name kept resurfacing, always with the same sentiment - "John Scolinios is here ? Oh Man, worth every penny of my airfare. " Who is John Scolinos, I wondered. No matter, i was just happy to be there . In 1996, Coach Scolinos was 78 yrs old & 5 yrs retired from a college coaching career that began in 1948. He shuffled to the stage to a impressive standing ovation, wearing polyester pants, a light blue shirt, & a string around his neck from which a home plate hung - a full sized, stark white home plate. Seriously, i wondered, who is this guy ? After speaking for twenty-five minutes, not once mentioning the proof around his neck, Coach Scolinos appeared to notice the snickering among some of the coaches. Even those who knew Coach Solons had to wonder exactly where he was going with this, or if he had simply forgotten about home plate since he'd gotten on stage. Then Finally... "You're probably all wondering why I'm wearing home plate around my neck," he said, his voice growing irascible. I laughed along with others, acknowledging the possibility. "I may be old, but i'm not crazy. The reason I stand before you today is to share with you baseball people what i have learned in my life, what i've learned about home plate in my 78 years." Several hands went up when Scolino asked how many Little League coaches were in the room. "Do you know how wide home plate is in Little League?" After a pause, someone offered, "Seventeen inches?" , more of a question than a answer. "That's right," he said. "How about in Babe Ruth's day? Any Babe Ruth coaches in the house?" Another long pause. "Seventeen inches?" a guess from another reluctant coach. "That's right," said Scolinos. "Now, how many high school coaches do we have in the room?" Hundreds of hands shot up, as the pattern began to appear. "How wide is home platen high school Baseball?" "Seventeen inches," they said, sounding more confident. "You're right!" Scolinos barked. "And you college coaches, how wide is home plate in college?" "Seventeen inches" we said in unison. "Any minor league coaches here? How wide is home plate in pro ball? ......... "Seventeen inches!" "RIGHT' And in the major Leagues, how wide home plate is in the major leagues? "Seventeen inches." "SEV-EN-TEEN INCHES!" he confirmed, his voice bellowing off the walls. "And what do they do with a big league pitcher that can't throw the ball over the seventeen inches?" Pause. "They send him to Pocatello !" he hollered, drawing raucous laughter. "What they don't do is this; they don't say, 'Ah, that's okay, Jimmy. If you can't hit a seventeen inches target ? We'll make it eighteen inches or nineteen inches. if you can't hit that, let us knows we can make it wider still, say twenty-five inches." Pause. "Coaches... what do we do when your best player shows up late to practice? or when our team rules forbid facial hair & a guy shows up unshaven? What if he gets caught drinking? Do we hold him accountable? Or do we change the rules to fit him? Do we widen the plate?" The chuckles gradually faded as four thousand coaches grew quiet, the fog lifting as the old coaches message began to unfold. He turned the plate toward himself&, using a sharpie, began to draw something. When he turned it toward the crowd, point up, a houses revealed, complete with freshly drawn door & 2 windows. "This is the problem our homes today. With our marriages, with the way we parent our kids With our discipline. We don't teach accountability to our kids , and there is no consequences for failing to meet standards. We just widen the plate !" Pause. Then, to the point at the top of the house he added a small American flag. "This is the problem in our schools today. The quality of education is going down hill fast & teachers have been stripped of the tools they need to be successful, & to educate & discipline our young people. We are allowing others to widen home plate! Where is that getting us?" Silence. He replaced the flag with a cross . "And the problem in the Church, where powerful people in positions of authority have taken advantage of young children, only to have such an atrocity swept under the rug for years. Our Church leaders are widening home plate of themselves! And we allow it." "And the same with our government. Our so called representatives make rules for us that don't apply to themselves. They take bribes from lobbyist & foreign countries. They no longer serve us. And we allow them to widen him plate! We see our country falling into a dark abyss while we just watch." I was amazed. At a baseball convention where i expected to learn about curveballs & bunting & how to run better practices, I had learned something far more valuable. From a old man with home plate strung around his neck, I had learned something about life, about myself, about my weakness & responsibilities as a leader. I had to hold myself & others accountable to that which i knew to be right, lest our families, our faith, &our society continue down an undesirable path. "If i am lucky, " Coach Scolinos concluded, "You will remember one thing from this old coach today. It is this: "If we fail to hold ourselves to a higher standard, a standard of what we know to be right; if we fail is but one thing to look forward to..." With that, he held him plate in front of his chest, turned it around, & revealed it's dark black backside," ... We have dark days ahead. " Note; Coach Scolinos died in 2009 at the age of 91, but not before touching the lives of hundreds of players & coaches, including mine. Meeting him at my first ABCA convention kept me returning yr after yr , children, your churches, your government, & most of all, keep yourself at seventeen inches !! And this my friends is what our country has become & what is wrong with it today, & now go out there & fix it ! "Don't widen home plate" !! I for one agree with this analogy very wise words from this old coach !!
  5. What about execution the coach can only call what defense he wants the players in but the players are the ones that have to make the plays . I've seen at time & in these games players miss tackles i seem to remember this year against the Bengals Poyer missing more tackles than he usually did in season . A couple of time to i saw Millano over run a play and he couldn't recover, and this year if you have misremembered there were quite a few of the Bills that had injury's Daquan, Phillips were both hurt then take away Von , Poyer less than 100% no Hyde in the mix Tre still coming back & sorry it's a totally different defense . Yes he has come up short & I hope this new DC assistant can have some input with in the scheme & maybe that new infusion can & will give a bit of a new twist that will give them the upper hand .
  6. I've always wanted the Bills to take a flyer on Carlos Dunlap the dude is just always there with some pressure then Hardman would be a good add Alegritti did well didn't he ?? And finally Deon Bush i thought i heard his name a few times this season . None of these guys would break the bank but i think they could help immensely . If my memory serves me correct in what i thought i have heard of them .
  7. It is a interpretation by someone but if you have any common sense seeing as Jesus was in the area of Israel i using said common sense would think that he is a bit darker than that interpretation but that's just me . Maybe this will help you understand a little bit better . There are some 70% of Americans polled that interpret this presidents actions while in office to not be very good & not really good for the country but your interpretation on the other hand is that this sitting president is doing a great job despite all the facts to the contrary . Now do you understand the difference in interpretation Tibs ???
  8. BT brings a entirely new spin to the movie ground hogs day but with a added touch of OCD in the mix .
  9. Which is another master piece of todays woke culture . But i will have to check them both out i have a saying good music is good music i like it all as long as the talent is there & it hurts my heart when i find out that computers are involved just to make the end result flawless . I hope these 2 don't have that in their music because if they do i'm out but i'll give it a shot ...
  10. Why not NY is taking a page out of the commercial vehicle rules every commercial vehicle has to turn in the amount of miles traveled on roads in states other than those the vehicle is registered to and collect funds from those companies for upkeep of their roads . It doesn't surprise me at all that the politicians that run the state of NY would come up with another way to get even more money from those that live there they have been setting a precedent on the best way to tax those that live there since way before i was even born & they will continue to so they can keep the black hole supported . It's not good enough that they can collect from just the commercial vehicles that go through NY from other states it looks as if they are looking to get more of NYers money but alas they keep voting those like Schumer into office so they have no one to blame but them selves .
  11. Maybe but i would have to wait to see their performance . I make my decisions on music in the fact that who's music will more than likely still be being played 50 yrs from now . Those that saw the old timers as not that good IMHO don't have a clue when it comes to what real music is about all of the so called old timers did it all with pure talent no computers with auto tune , no drum machines , just what god gave them to work with ! Give me Stevie Wonder, Aerosmith, Tina Turner, Van Halen over any of the new stuff today !! Most any one today can be a huge star as long as they have the looks & work out i am in the industry & it pains me when you go to a concert only to find out that most of the show is on tracks that are recorded in a studio & it is not actually a "Live" performance and most all of any TV performances even Rhianna's are mostly lip synched to tracks . I recently had a sound engineer on my bus that told my about a recent award show he went to because the artist we were working for at the time was performing there that basically their entire performance was on tracks which who can't do that I could record my voice as crappy as it is & use auto tune & record really good musicians on a background track with great back up vocals & do the same thing . Like most things today it's all prefab and those that watch it don't have a clue but the so called old guys that did it for real are the ones that suck !!
  12. Well is any of this surprising when just a few years back they were all saying they were tired of the old timers like Aerosmith & the Who people now a days don't know iconic music & would rather have drum machines and spoken word "Music" ! When these same folks thought that the Black Eyed Peas was a great half time show that said it all to me i don't even watch the half time stuff any more i may have took in about 2 minutes of it then had to get another beer & give one back .
  13. But they added a game to the season so it's added revenue but they will really stay the same plus i think the prices will continue to go up given the fact the new stadium is coming plus other factors that we have little control over ...
  14. So we have another McD & Beane are both a POS post lets fire them & start all over surprise ??? I think not .
  15. This reply could actually reflect some of Bills mafia - just saying ...
  16. What about the announcing team this year just saying i don't think they are on anyones A list just saying when you have Jim Nance & Al Micheals sitting around which may have been their choice but i think there are still better options out there .
  17. Maybe Denver or Arizona could make a trade with them either of their QB's aren't doing well where they are & the Davis family is none for doing these types of things - plus if they could do it & get rid of their contracts it would be a plus for either team .
  18. They did the same with Moss a guy that is just about he exact same in height & weight if the Bills do go RB in the draft go big or go home the kid from Texas has good size & produced really good in college . He is also listed as top 5 on some best players coming into the draft . He is 6' 220 lbs and his stats are off the chart good if the Bills go that direction don't go with a guy that falls to the 3rd round like they did with Moss get someone that has proved no matter where he has been that he will produce at a high level this guy last year produced by him self more than the Bills RB's did together last season . I know everything goes through Josh but RB has not been a good positional pick for Beane and most that he gets are the same stature 5'8" or so 195 + lbs lets get a back that has some more A** to go along with his production . I wanted Brian Robinson last year can we imagine the Bills back field with someone like him ...
  19. When your only used 12 times in 2 years how can you prove if your any good if your looking for a comparison then we need to get rid of Hines then he also sucks he had -3 yards this season so why keep him around . Plus this year they kept Moss & let Blackshear go just maybe if they would actually use some of these backs in a game setting they may find a good one instead of holding on to one being Moss because he was a draft pick . This has been a recurring theme with the Bills Dabol took 2 Players with him being Hodgins & Berida and actually used them both & took his team to the play offs and the Bills let them both warm the bench & again let Moss pretty much a none factor but 1 play per game be active every week . Then they did the same with Mckenzie resigned him because he can run fast &had just 1 really good game sometimes i just wish they would give others a real chance in games to see what they can produce while in a real game setting .
  20. Does ignorants ever stop surprising us ? What will they come up with next ? Actually they have been trying to do away with the Bible that way there will be no rules to live by that have any moral structure to them & people can just do or live in what ever way they decide to which seems to be the times in which we live in today .
  21. Didn't watch it don't care to listen to his BS & i knew a lot of what he would say would be lies or trying to make himself look better than we know he does & it would just piss me off so rather than get my blood pressure up i watched something that had a lot more intelligence with in it's programming . I pulled up old episodes of sesame street !! The standing O was because he made it through the crowd with out falling & the later of them if there were any (which i didn't watch & never do) were because of his impeccable reading skills along with his pronunciation . And CNN wouldn't prop him up in any way either with their straight forward reporting of the truth as they see it .
  22. The bottom line in the NFL is money they are going to cater to who ever or what ever will keep the world as we no longer know it to keep coming back us old bastards don't matter as much any more unfortunately every thing including the NFL is & has changed just sometimes it's not for the better . I knew it was changing when comments about changing the half time entertainment from Aerosmith, The Who, & others saying they hoped they would get rid of the old timers the ones that are icons to saying they would rather have the Black Eyed Peas WTH ... That pretty much says it all I bet soon we will see Sam Smith & his partner in this years grammy awards as the half time entertainment just to make a statement but it is what it is .
  23. Was it any wonder he changed his number to 69 when he came to the Bills seeing as he was named the dirtiest player LMAO ... RIP Conrad thanks for the memories !!
  24. Andy Reid casts a pretty big shadow (literally) & i think he feels because he has been past over for a HC ing position that it would be in his best interest to prove it's not Andy but him that is worthy of being the man ...
  25. Love me some Lee Smith dude is just raw tells it like it is and i have to agree with him those same people that wanted Dabol fired are the same ones that want to fire Dorsey, Beane, Frazier & McD every time something doesn't go just right & they also have a very short memory of what was in Bills past .
