Now the time that is gone Doesn't matter to anyone When the country lanes are decked With the time yet to come Well the world is exhausted And the wreckage is all around But the arc of your life Could still be profound

RIP John. Thanks for the memories.

I see skies of blue And clouds of white The bright blessed day The dark sacred night And I think to myself What a wonderful world The colors of the rainbow So pretty in the sky Are also on the faces Of people going by I see friends shaking hands Saying, “How do you do?” They’re really saying “I love you”

This time you are mischaracterizing your own words. Let's look at your words and ask yourself if I am really making your point for you, or simply holding up a mirror that you may want to take a look at. In the post I responded to you said: "I don't punch homeless guys on the street when they yell nonsense at me. Clearly this guy had some mental problems. It was necessary to confront a much smaller crazy person and then punch him? And that makes him a hero? You guys have an interesting view on reality. "But he disrespected me." Oh no, how will you be able to go on living the rest of your life knowing a crazy insignificant person called you a name?" You have moved the goalpost my friend. Your original words sound an awful like like you are equating TO's actions to yelling at random crazy homeless guy. Your words sounds like someone that had decided that he knows exactly what happened. You sound certain of the man's mental illness. You expressed clarity in your belief that the man who was threatening others was just a "crazy insignificant person" that called TO a name. And you assert in that original post that the only thing that should be of concern to TO is that a crazy person disrespected him. He should, in your opinion have no issue moving on with his life with that knowledge. Sorry, it was way more complex than that and your original words do not meet the litmus test of someone who believes "Exactly, we don't know". Sorry KDIGGS, you make a lot of great points and express a number of excellent insights on this sight. This is not one those.

I agree with you that there is much here we don't know. High on that list is "The Right Thing To Do". I don't know that answer and neither do you. We can have opinion, but we can't just inject made up facts. You have made mental health an issue in this story. What is that based on? It is not mentioned anywhere in the story that I can see. Perhaps I missed it. But sure, the man that was threatening others may have been mentally ill. Also possible is that the parties that TO was protecting were mentally ill. And yes, in a perfect world, everyone walks away and goes home for a nice night with the family. I agree that would have been the idyllic scenario. And yes the man could have been seriously hurt by TO. Maybe further violence escalates. The opposite unknown is what happens if TO does not step in as he did, in a peacekeeping effort, trying to get everyone to just go on their way? Should have he have just looked away and leave the other harassed party to be beaten into submission by the aggressor who was waiting outside the store to pursue just that? What if that victim had been seriously injured or killed? All I am saying is to be careful with a rush to judgement about what actually occurred and who should have done what. You initially characterized TO's actions as if he took exception to and picked a fight with the crazy homeless panhandler on the freeway exit ramp who spends his days yelling at people who drive away with closed windows and locked doors. This is not that. And that is all that I am pointing out. This was a peacekeeping effort gone south. We don't live in a perfect world populated by perfect people. TO is far from perfect as he has demonstrated over and over in his life. But I can't in good faith say that he did anything here that I have an issue with. I wish that we lived in a world where he could have walked away knowing that everything would be cool in his wake. I think he was very aware that was not the case and took steps to address that. But again... that is just my opinion. I don't pretend to know "The Right Thing". Even if it sounds like it 😄. Cheers!

Maybe subjective, but I am going with the man threatening other patrons as the bully.

Not for nothing... But your portrayal of events is not at all what occurred. The guy he knocked out was threatening other patrons inside the store. TO stepped in with an attempt at playing peacemaker (some would legitimately call that heroic) and the guy persisted and then started to swing at TO. Sure TO could have walked away and just said "not my problem". I have no issue with his actions, regardless of motive. It started by taking a stand against a bully. I admire that.

I used to know this old scarecrow He was my song My joy and sorrow Cast alone between the furrows Of a field No longer sown by anyone I held a dandelion That said the time had come To leave upon the wind Not to return When summer burned the earth again

Don’t try to change me Try and understand my ways Accept my love the way its offered That will be the surest way Cause my love will grow and grow Now just you wait and see It will be a lasting love A lasting love it will be.

When you say "it's gonna happen now" Well, when exactly do you mean? See I've already waited too long And all my hope is gone

I'm gettin' married in the morning Dingdong, the bells are gonna chime Pull out the stopper, we'll have a whopper But get me to the church on time

One child grows up to be Somebody that just loves to learn And another child grows up to be Somebody you'd just love to burn Mom loves the both of them You see, it's in the blood Both kids are good to mom Blood's thicker than the mud It's a family affair It's a family affair It's a family affair It's a family affair Over there, over there

When you're lost in the rain in Juarez, and it's Easter time too And your gravity's down and negativity don't pull you through Just don't put on any airs when you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue They got some hungry women there and they'll really make a mess outta you Now if you see Saint Annie, please tell her thanks a lot I cannot move, my fingers they are all in a knot I don't have the strength to get up and take another shot And my best friend, my drummer, won't even tell me what it was that I dropped

I went back to bed this mornin' And as I'm pullin' down the blind Yeah, the sky was dull, and hypothetical And fallin' one cloud at a time

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming Sayin' something about a queen There were peasants singin' and drummers drumming And the archer split the tree There was a fanfare blowin' to the sun That was floating on the breeze Look at mother nature on the run in the nineteen seventies

I keep your picture Upon the wall It hides a nasty stain that's lying there So don't you ask me To give it back I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me I'm not in love, no no, It's because Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me Ooh, you'll wait a long time Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me Ooh, you'll wait a long time

Josh's elbow has been bothering him. You can see it on the shorter and intermediate throws. He looks like he is placing the ball instead of the nice effortless motion we are used to seeing. But I also think it runs deeper than that. There were signs earlier, before the injury. The Tennessee game came up on one of my feeds the other day and I watched the first half. It was surprising to see some of the same mistakes in the red zone early in that game. There was what should have been a sure pick in the end zone that the DB just bobbled while running out of bounds. There was another one hopper I think to Kumerow. I think of the one hopper that could have won the Miami game. And then the red zone pick to Levi Wallace in the Pittsburgh game. I think about the one criticism in the Rams game was that Josh ran too much. I think about the KC game when Josh hurdled and landed on his a**. He spoke in the following days about paying the price for that one with a nice bruise on his back. And I think about a McDermott interview earlier, around that same time, saying something along the lines of wanting to save exposing Josh on plays like that for "later in the season". I know this is totally conjecture, but I suspect that it was suggested to Josh after the opener, to stop taking the hits he can avoid, stop running unless absolutely necessary. And I think that this message may have been put to him way more forcefully during the bye and then again at halftime of the Packers game, after the clobbering he did take on that sideline play. In the post game interview after this past game against Detroit, McDermott, when asked about a Josh's runs, again sounded irked, saying that he really would prefer that Josh learns how to slide. They have stopped letting Josh be Josh. And that has never been a good place for Josh to be on the field. It's really not much different that last year when Josh stopped the running for a long stretch and The Bills found themselves at 7-6. He came out of the half against Tampa Bay and started running with abandon and the offense never looked back. Was that what John Warrow was referring to as "Josh putting his foot down in the half time locker room" that day? I don't know the answer to that and none of us probably ever will. But it jumps out at me that when Josh plays with reckless abandon, both he and the entire offense are unstoppable. When he is limited, either by coaching or by injury, he looks frantic and error prone. Right now, I think that both of those forces are in play. It is frustrating to watch. We have heard the warnings... If he keeps playing (running) like this, he will become Cam Newton in 10 years. While I would hope for a longer run than that, I would rather see him flourish between occasional injuries for 10 years than to see coaching turn him into Carson Wentz in 1 or 2 years. This week in practice the elbow brace came off. Hopefully that is a sign of healing. With this stretch of divisional games at hand, hopefully the time has come for the coaching staff to let Josh resume being the athletic freak that he is. When both of those happen, I think the dancing in the streets will resume.

Now get this London calling, yes, I was there, too And you know what they said? Well, some of it was true London calling at the top of the dial And after all this, won't you give me a smile? I never felt so much alike, alike, alike, alike

Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door I had to find the passage back To the place I was before "Relax, " said the night man "We are programmed to receive You can check out any time you like But you can never leave"

I'm going where the sun keeps shining Through the pouring rain Going where the weather suits my clothes Banking off of the northeast winds Sailing on a summer breeze And skipping over the ocean like a stone Everybody's talking at me Can't hear a word they're saying Only the echoes of my mind

I never done good things I never done bad things I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh Want an axe to break the ice Wanna come down right now Ashes to ashes, funk to funky We know Major Tom's a junkie Strung out in heaven's high Hitting an all-time low My mother said, to get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom

See the smile awaitin' in the kitchen Through cookin' and the plates for two Feel the arms that reach out to hold me In the evening when the day is through Summer breeze makes me feel fine Blowing through the jasmine in my mind Summer breeze makes me feel fine Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
