  1. Agree. If these dogs just punctured a thigh or bit a hand, shoot, that happens with many dogs. But with PB’s, they take it to another level when blood is drawn. It becomes a challenge for them to take the victim down and silence it’s screams. The more the person cries for help, the more ferocious they seem to get (as evidenced by 70 year old woman story above); either that or she had a meatloaf sandwich in her front pocket. Shame on her.
  2. A bite from a poodle, Doberman or Collie, yes they happen all the time. I’ve just never read stories about those breeds attacking and mauling victims (as in the above stories). I know what you’re saying but this breed exemplifies “warrior”.
  3. And another pair of “gentle puppies” that wouldn’t stop once they tasted blood. This 70 year old lady must have really provoked them. https://amp.delawareonline.com/amp/2800295002
  4. Sorry to hear this. And we all know other breeds can do the same...but it seems PB attacks are not only more prevalent, but more vicious in that they “finish the job” more so than just one bite. Here’s another story (with the typical defense of PB included...i.e. they are not inherently aggressive/fighting dogs). Beautiful young woman mauled by her “puppies”. Sad. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/12/17/571460563/virginia-woman-mauled-to-death-by-her-pit-bulls-during-walk-in-woods-says-sherif
  5. That's not a bad idea. At least it's a start. If someone really wants to adopt one (or TWO!!!), they should demonstrate how they will be controlled, trained, supervised, exercised, fed, etc. I've read too many stories about their "vicious propensities" relating to adults to walk up to one...I can only imagine what they can do to a little 3 year old girl or boy.
  6. https://wnyt.com/news/pit-bull-attack-3-year-old-girl-schenectady/5376111/ I know I’ll take a lot of flack from some members here, but Pit Bulls seem to be the most popular breed committing these types of atrocious attacks. And I get it: it’s not necessarily the dog’s fault. The owner typically has something to do with the aggressive tendencies. But this breed has a crossed wire in it’s genetic makeup somewhere that needs attention. It’s rare for a golden retriever, yellow lab, pug or an assortment of other breeds to commit this type of unprovoked attack. This girl was sitting on her grandmother’s lap and yanked to the ground suffering major leg and nerve injuries. Here’s the other problem: this ***** owned not one, but TWO pit bulls. Double the aggressiveness huh? Battling for food? Battling for attention. So when the kid gets yanked to the ground, they fight over the little girl. Less of a chance to separate them. I read a story about a young woman who left her TWO pit bulls with her uncle for a few months, came back to visit them and walked them in the woods. They later found her mangled body in the woods with the pit bulls near by. There’s a couple with two pit bulls behind my building. The pit bulls are in a 10x10 cage and just basically stay out there all day. If they ever get out they are 30 feet from the main sidewalk used by young kids to walk to school. Scary. Like I said, some of you guys are responsible owners and would certainly pass a background check. But this breed needs better monitoring or should, perhaps, be discontinued altogether. The genetic makeup must be all screwed up to have these types of incidents arise as often as they do. JMO
  7. When I first read JW’s material years ago I could sense his journalistic integrity and professionalism. He expressed concerns re. Rex Ryan’s coaching, hiring practices, stories re. The future of the Bills franchise upon the passing of RWJ, and other well written articles. I imagined him as one of those “old school” reporters who didn’t rely on a laptop or cassette recorder to note the story/interview. He’d take notes in pen on (shorthand) on a small paper notebook I pictured him as a 1940’s beat journalist wearing a plaid sport jacket, a wide striped tie, a shirt with mustard stains because he eats hot dogs on-the-go, and a black fedora hat with a small white placard that says “PRESS”. I had the pleasure of meeting JW at a tailgate last year....and that image was confirmed. He’s not a shill. The guy writes a good story. Y’all need to relax. We have bigger fish to fry, such as: What the hell is wrong with Dawson Knox??!!
  8. Thanks for the shout out. My days of playing the WR position are behind me (yes, I had a short three year stint with the London Monarchs and the Toronto Args back in the 90’s) but I still travel to various locations for private workouts and scouting. One attribute the OP didn’t touch upon is what we (scouts/coaches) refer to as “breakout inertia ratio” or focused speed vs controlled limb coordination. Arms and legs need to move with flexibility but also with a rigid strength that allows inertia to break past the secondary. The longer the limb when compared to shorter CB’s and faster limb extension will permit greater completions of 50/50 balls. That’s why we usually don’t just measure a WR’s fingers and hands but his toes as well. Having longer toes allows the WR candidate to grip the turf better for sharper cuts thus increasing his breakout inertia ratio and limb coordination. I’ll revisit this thread later but feel free to ask questions anytime.
  9. This poor guy learned a hard lesson.
  10. eat pizza crust (without sauce, cheese or toppings) unlike those natives of the area such as
  11. Teacher asks the kids what they did during summer vacation. Little Joey said “I picked up litter and mowed my neighbor’s lawn for free.” Little Suzy said “I baked cookies and sold them then donated the proceeds to the Homeless Shelter”. Little @Cripple Creek raised his hand and the teacher asked him “What did you do this past summer CC?” @Cripple Creek proudly said “
  12. “If you’ve got the time, I’ve got the wine coolers”
  13. Has @BringMetheHeadofLeonLett chimed in on this topic yet?
  14. @ExiledInIllinois, @Mike in Horseheads and @Gugny walk into a bar. The bartender asks "What will you have?" @ExiledInIllinois says "I'll have a Shirley Temple on the rocks" @Mike in Horseheads says "Make it two! and I'm buying" @Gugny says "
  15. The thread title is “***** Show”...not “Neatly Wrapped Packages of Sh**t”
  16. The last sentence indicates during this Phase 3 “players are allowed to wear helmets”; the accompanying picture above shows Matt Barkley wearing a helmet during last week’s Phase 2. Looks like we’re in for a fine from the league. Can anyone explain this?
  17. You fellas should be looking for the greatest fishing song. “Wet the reel!! Wet the reel!!”
  18. https://sportshoop.la/forums/nba-basketball-forum.146/ Here’s a cool place to discuss NBA basketball.
  19. So you don’t drink coffee but you smear feces on a guy’s seat who stands in front of you at a game? Let’s talk civility.
  20. Who the ***** is Aaron Schatz (his bed)??
  21. Calzone, Stromboli and Hot Pockets are all outer-crust food stuffs. Are you high??
  22. #Analytics #statsdon'tlie #Analytics #2019Poll #outercrust
  23. It seems the louder the anti-outer-crusters argue and beat their chests, they are recognizing how they are in the minority in this argument. Y'all (@ExiledinIllinois, @fl az fan, @SDS, @Mike in Horseheads, @Cripple Creek) need to look at the poll results. Over 75% of the voters believe the outer crust is the most important or significantly important to a good pizza. It's ok to admit you're wrong. Just get it over with.
