  1. Life sucks.
  2. You just made my point. To answer your question, I'd not be too happy. Ditto for a racial word. It's no different. But our PC society wants to single out those words. Everyone should respect each other. But to single out certain words, and "ban" them, is part of the problem, not the solution. So, yes, we need to toughen up a little, and stop getting so crazy over certain words and being OK with others. Lost in all of this is that this guy claims to suffer from PTSD (the same thing our troops get from killing people and seeing their friends killed and seeing other horrors no one should ever see) and that his mom is a well known employment discrimination lawyer whose sued companies for things of this nature.
  3. They're words. That's it. Which words would you ban? How about "B word"? That could be construed as hateful. Should we have a list of banned words? The more we get our panties in a wad over words that are said every freaking day, the more damage they do, the more we don't get past our differences, the more political correctness wins, the more we don't improve. How about we all just toughen up a little.
  4. Seriously. We have a raw quarterback, our No. 1 and 2 WR out, an eternally hobbled CJ Spiller... The D, as good as it is now, is going to be exhausted from being on the field, especially from the no-huddle. The Jets are going to have to implode for us to win. Jets by 14.
  5. Great, next you'll be telling us Ed Reed will be playing corner.
  6. No. 1, wow, crazy cool. No. 2, let's burn this. Worst offensive performance we've seen all year. No. 3, the lack of deep balls is disturbing.
  7. I don't see how the Bills are -1. Week 3, I thought we were the better team. Now, I just hope it's close. EJ and Hackett need more time, and Rex clearly has our number.
  8. I'm all for that. Increase the regular season by two, reduce preseason by two, and give each team two byes. That should be enough 18 games, 32 teams, 64 byes -- to this non math mind, it seems like enough for every team to have a TN game after a bye.
  9. You should meet his brother, Iowifewofijpavfjpipdifsoij Igbinosun.
  10. This guy, along with Volcano Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland, wins the random keystroke prize.
  11. 1. EJ, and much of the team, slept walked. They put me to sleep. 2. EJ is gearing up to be Edwards 2.0. Awfully boring, and gutless, football today and other games. 3. Offensive playcalling was wretched. First, run, run (all up the left or middle), pass, no screens, and no bombs. Then we give up on the run too early. 4. Defense played OK. Put decent pressure on R-berger. 5. The difference between this Bills team and the one against KC is staggering. 6. Say what you will, but the games under Lewis and Tuel were fun. This is the third boring game played by Manuel. Utterly unwatchable quarterback play. 7. The offensive game play for Manuel and Tuel should have been reversed. Damn, that was conservative. 8. Marrone/Hackett seem completely outwitted by defensive masterminds like Ryan/LeBeau.
  12. Wonderful story.
  13. Both teams are angry. Should be a good game no matter who wins. If we don't turn the ball over more than once, I think we pull out with a W thanks to our D.
  14. Allrighty. Well it starts for me. Now, I finally get to see Manuel with several games under his belt and a defense finally healthy and clicking.
  15. I think we've done about as well as anyone with two rookie QBs and a journeyman who until a few weeks ago played in one game. Add the rash of other injuries, and I'd say we pretty much did overcome. The OP is right. The season starts this Sunday. We have everyone, except Woods, healthy for once, and we face a bevy of mediocre teams. I think it's safe to say sans Falcons, the Bills have been one of the hardest-hit...and we have essentially three rookie quarterbacks.
  16. John Madden is cheap. Some girl might play a really dirty game of ... chess ... with you.
  17. Possible trademark... The War on Drugs: It'll !@#$ you up the ass™.
  18. The media's racial angle is often not true. By and large they want to believe we are a modern day version of Mississippi Burning. Look at the Trayvon hysteria. White hispanic? Really? When I was a student reporter at The University of Georgia, we had a gal report that some kid who was beaten up was a victim of "hate crime." Turned out, yes, he was gay. But it was just a run of the mill drunken fight ... in which he was the loser. She, or the editors who let the insinuation pass as fact, was never reprimanded. Multiple this by a thousand stories weekly. This culture of racial/ethnicity/sexual preference victimhood is sadly embedded into the news media's culture.
  19. Imagine what she'd do if KIKO were in the jersey.
  20. Because Incognito is more black than Martin.
  21. Best comment: "He considered writing in Scott Norwood instead, but found his platform to be too far to the right." Pa dow.
  22. Well, maybe, but perhaps not...talent at that level gets extra priviledge...more than Pizza Hut talent. The slur brings it into a new stratosphere, more than threatening to defecate in someone's mouth (!) or to kill said person (!!), which in my view is utter mindlessness. Just read the comments in one story; 90 percent are race related. If someone A) Called me a honkey cracka, B) Said they were going to defecate in my mouth and C) Kill me, my list of grievances would be C, B with a distant like Pluto third to A.
  23. Sounds like a plan. Just no Eskimos. I hate those mother !@#$ers.
  24. The story in Miami is now national and goes something like this: Subject A causes a generally hostile work environment for Subject B ... and extorts him out of money ... and, oh yeah, by the way, allegedly threatens his life. And the lead in every story is Subject A calls Subject B a bad racial name. THEN it's the life threatening stuff. Before, he was just a bully who took it too far. NOW he's a raaciisstt. What a bad man! Kick him out of the NFL! The word he used suddenly becomes an excuse for covering the story. Not the other stuff. I know racial sensitivities trump logic, and that I'm likely in the minority opinion (yes I'm white...and no, that shouldn't matter), but why should anybody care that he called Martin a name that's likely said a hundred times a day in the locker room? Incognito should've been suspended long before this. (And either Philbin or Martin or another teammate should've stood up to this bully). The moral here, if you're white, you can treat people like dog****. Just don't call them racial names. When we learn to not get our panties in a wad over a stupid word -- a loaded word, but a word nonetheless -- and stop being so sensitive, then maybe we can start looking at racial issues logically.
  25. I noticed those posts too. To some people, "invisible" means no sacks.
