  1. These lyrics, this entire album (A Crow Looked At Me)

     

    "Our daughter is one and a half
    You have been dead eleven days
    I got on the boat and came to the place
    Where the three of us were going to build our house if you had lived
    You died though
    So I came here alone with our baby and the dust of your bones..."

    Peacock costs me like $6 a month. If you’re not willing to pay that, I have no sympathy. You aren’t that committed. I pay over 100x that for every single home game and never complain. I CHOOSE to do that because I love the Bills. If you elect to not pay the $6 on principle, that’s your choice, but don’t come here looking for people to feel sorry for you.

    Plus there's actually a lot of other good stuff on Peacock these days.  Live a little.

  3. 1st ever was "Hamburger: The Motion Picture" when my neighbor's older sister and her boyfriend were "babysitting" us.  Truly awful movie.

     

    1st in a theater was "Hard to Kill" to kick off my middle school Steven Seagal phase: "I'm gonna take you to the bank, Senator Trent -- to the blood bank!"

    I don't understand why people think the NFL has some sort of obligation to investigate every politically incorrect remark made by an owner.  The 2020 BLM protests were a net negative for the United States, and NFL players did themselves and the league a disservice by dragging this stuff into football.  It's fine for owners to say so, and it doesn't matter to me if they say so in colorful terms.  Grow some skin.

    The question as it relates to this lawsuit is more about the NFL's obligation to investigate a complaint made by one of its employees.  Clearly many posters are feeling super defensive about the "did Terry do a racism?" part of the story but that's not the heart of the matter here.

    Google his name - 10 out of 10 news articles and nearly everything above the fold on a regular search has this accusation in it.

     

    In an age of Google, all it takes is a second-hand accusation. It will take years to clear his name on the Internet zeitgeist. 

    Is it surprising that the top news results on a topic are all related to that topic's big news story that came out literally yesterday?  I'd be surprised if fewer than 9 of 10 searches for "Terry Pegula" today were looking for anything else.  His statement on the Bills official page is #3 in my google news search, for what it's worth.  Sure, "the internet is forever," but online search results are constantly changing, and this story will stay relevant or fade away depending on how it plays out.

    But you realize it won’t be the government asked to decide on the accuracy of those statements, right? It will be a 6-12 person civil jury made up of people like you and me…I would hope they are in fact bound by those presumptions, otherwise they don’t even need to hear any evidence (which in turn must pass basic rules of reliability/admissibility) first? Of course you’re entitled to your opinions, but I’m just asking the board at large to consider that what happens in the court of public opinion often turns out to be premature and just flat wrong after legal process has wrapped. 

    That jury will be acting on behalf of the government, and they will be given detailed instructions on their responsibilities by a judge. Just clarifying that due process is for real courts, not the court of public opinion, and I also know Terry Pegula and the NFL are perfectly capable of sticking up for themselves.

    Respectfully, it should—otherwise we pillory others based on anything said by anyone regardless of source or any semblance of reliability? That’s something we should all push back against, regardless of your opinions. 

    Nah, people are absolutely free to make their own private determination as to the reliability of sources and accusations in publicly-reported stories like this one. Due process is for government, period. I'm withholding judgment on this particular case as of now, but I'm by no means bound by a "presumption of facts in [anyone's] favor."

    Was this allegedly recent ? Can’t imagine this getting past a group of reporters today. It would be public knowledge in less than a minute. 

    Trotter heard the allegation from another NFL media reporter on a Zoom call in September 2020, about a conversation alleged to have taken place some time before that, probably summer 2020 considering it was in regards to Black Lives Matter.

    Would be shocked if there isn't a recording of a Zoom meeting of NFL owners 

    NFL owners meetings are often intended to be confidential:
