  1. I think Bills fans everywhere would feel better about Manuel if he were able to actually beat someone who wasn't a journeyman. I'll say it again, we're committing to an unknown commodity, one who hasn't been really tested. Tom Brady outshined Drew Bledsoe. Russell Wilson beat Whatshisface. Even RGIII had competition with Cousins, who were drafted together. So on and so forth. Unless you're Andrew Luck, which Manuel is not, a smart team will let two guys duke it out. Stand corrected. I also remember, however, seeing a quote from Whaley that they would look at all options, including QB, and there actually being a thread here and a similar debate.
  2. I think you may be technically wrong. I don't remember the Bills saying anywhere that Manuel was their unchallenged starter next season.
  3. He has no legit competition. You let him beat out the competition, one that is drafted high, and then "commit" to the winner for the year. And who says it's only two years? Did the Bills say that? After drafting Manuel, the official word was Kolb was the starter. Manuel beat him out.
  4. Losing teams are committed to unknown commodities. Want to talk about the culture of winning? Manuel is at best a 50-50 bet. He's got some game and looks the part, but is sloth slow to react, injury-prone, and doesn't seem to read the field well. The Bills would be wise to "commit" to a winner only, and bring in competition during the draft...and let the best guy win the job.
  5. We should be called Bantha Fodder.
  6. I never say LOL. I literally LOLd though.
  7. Not a company, but I say more Google +. Loyal users who swear by it. But most people doesn't know it exists.
  8. You mean the smartest guys in the room? Doubtful.
  9. RadioShack. You want to like them, but everything they do sucks. And keeps surviving, somehow. Yes, once were innovators, now just holding on to a thread, yet some people STILL won't give them up.
  10. HELL NO. Don't understand how a guy so physically tough can be such a weakling in life. The fact he didn't have the ability to address this issue head on should be troubling to any fan. Do you really want players walking on eggshells in fear of offending this cat?
  11. Cantors = Honey badger.
  12. No one can drive in gridlock or black ice -- not even a Buffalonian. They had sanders, never used them, released government units and schools at the same time, and were completely unprepared for snow that was forecasted three days ago.
  13. We had 30 new sanders. They were never used beforehand. Tsplost has nothing to do with this. Poor planning, and everyone leaving at once Walking Dead style -- releasing kids at the same time, really? -- was the problem. THIS -- basic infrastructure and emergency preparedness -- should be the core function of government. It failed in every way it could yesterday.
  14. From my Facebook feed: People sleeping in Krogers and CVSs, cars, strangers' houses, kids still stranded in busses. 14-plus hour commutes. Pile-ups... Atlanta is a disaster zone this morning. All from 2 inches of freaking snow. Government failed miserably at what should be its core function. NOOOO!
  15. It's past midnight and Atlanta is STILL gridlocked. Holy Hell. I'd be drunk in a parking deck too. Well, midnight and drunk are obvious. The parking deck would be the only different thing.

  17. Cool, thanks. No taxes and fewer laws is what America is (and should be) about -- regardless of politics. We're awash with increasing regulation on our personal lives here in the 48. New Jersey is trying to make it illegal to not have dogs seatbelted while in transit. Dogs! Uhm... Neil Young, Damage Done: Holy crap! Jewell doing Damage Done! Mind blown. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM7r5NLQ8Qc
  18. Jim doesn't even have Neil Young; that's Canada. All he has is Jewell.
  19. OK I'm intrigued, and have questions, and I'm snowed in. 1. You moved to Alaska to be a mechanic. I know there wasn't a shortage of mechanics, so what drew you? 2. Is there really a shortage of women there? 3. Cool city to visit? Been wanting to take a trip to the Pacific Northwest / BC / Alaska for some time now. 4. First thing that comes to mind about Anchorage. Yep, we do have ourselves a couple of hospitals down here in Atlanta. LOL.
  20. Two weeks ago, when it was 8 all day long -- 8! -- they made it a point to say Atlanta was 20 degrees colder than Anchorage. What do you do in Anchorage? Don't hear about too many people moving there. Atlanta Journal Constitution headlines: State of emergency declared. Baby born on I-285 Students stranded in schools. Fire interrupts MARTA service. Gridlock overwhelms cell towers. Snow zombies invade; eat the flesh of the living. OK, one is made up...but all this over two freaking inches.
  21. I'm in shock how quickly the situation here has downspiraled. No end in sight either. I can't imagine having a baby in this. I was upset because I hadn't eaten lunch and was having lowish blood sugar. Yikes.
  22. I don't think they'll be any brime or sand laid down except on freeways. 20 degrees here so surface streets will be an ice rink. On another note, never heard of Off the Wall before. Post was banished here...
