Just in Atlanta

Have always been a fan of Yak Ballz. Check out his grammar rhyme: Don't be all double-spacing on TBD. Cause it's a message board violation of the third degree. And don't be spreadin wack-ass lies about split infinitives either. Sorry that's all I got.

Mr. Tolstoy kind sir: Well, good one on whether. Not how I use it for sure, but it is technically correct. Nonsense on the OTAs. (Chicago) allows for an apostrophe "only when an abbreviation contains internal periods or both capital and lowercase letters." AP--which 90 percent of publications worldwide use--says no way. Plus, it just looks weird. Weak sauce on the fragment, but I know (hope) you're kidding. And double spaces suck yak balls. But you'll always find one person out of a thousand who loves yak balls. JIA 1 million Tolstoy 1 Edit: Marrone 2 million. (I think he sounds fine.)

Thanks! I love to point out grammatical hypocrisy. (But it's one space. Like this. Not like this.)

Since we're into grammar and all: Quoted on Buffalobills.com, when referring to the need to institute blitz packages as early as OTA's, OTAs, here is what the head-coach head coach of the Bills said: Fixed. OTAs -- not a possessive or a contraction. Head coach is not hyphenated. And... Whew. I can't follow that. We could be in for some painful post-game press conferences. But, I suppose that doesn't really matter. If he wins, I could couldn't care less whether if he puts a grammatical sentence together. You're saying you actually care. And whether x or y. You have no y. Something has to give. Further, it'll be a long season with two spaces between each of your sentences. One space is accepted practice in business writing, the Internet and most of civilized society. Even Marone knows that.

Whatever. No. 1. No. 2. He's solid in short and immediate ranges. Elite in terms of route running/elusiveness, actually above average in drops (check the stats...despite the big ones he's dropped) and a little below average in speed. Regardless he's above average overall and I'm glad he's on the team.

We're all hoping he's not a da'nger to this team. Or a da'mn disappointment. Otherwise he'll be cleaning rooms at the Da'ys Inn this fall. In all seriousness, though, I think he's a da'rk horse candidate for the No. 3 WR spot. He's got da' skills. Even as an unda'clared agent. OK, the last one was pushing it.

Bigot: A person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices;especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance. Thanks to the overuse of this word, and the R word, it has no real meaning anymore.

That's a statement in a vacuum. I don't remember that call specifically, but who's to say they weren't put in the position of being so close because of going for it on another 4th down? Whose to say they didn't win two games for going for it more often on 4th? I'm not saying you're wrong, or right. But your statement solidifies why coaches are so ultra, ultra conservative. Fans look at one instance in a vacuum, and forget the body of work. All it takes is one loss and many fans forget the many wins.

Ding ding ding. Surprised it took this long for the obligatory "I don't care what they wear as long" thread.

Next thing you know, Dallas moves to the AFC East after the Dolphins move to LA to the NFC, and he haunts us for 10 years. Typical Bills. Cause Jerry Jones thought he was getting some guy named Andy Corpse, and he liked the name.

I woulda told him to trade back, pick your favorite QB, then a WR, then a LB. First two rounds are like I WAS there. Don't think I've ever been this content with the first few picks. My only complaint is that we never drafted a damn guard.

Hey that worked. Thanks~!

Ugh. Can't watch it. Wish I knew what plugin I was missing.

I like this guy ... and what he says about our draft picks.

I'm man enough to admit it is affect, not effect. Your lack of logic apparently is catching.

I'm offended you call yourself a Northerner. Are you implying as a Southerner I'm less educated or think slower? No? Regardless I'm offended. Therefore you're being insensitive to my geographic sensibilities. Further, beware the people who say words like "salient" and such. The intersection of race and political correctness is salient because that is what they are obsessed with today. The fact they don't get that we anti PC folks are anti "This is offensive (race) but this (x,y or z) isn't" is proof to the anti saliency. What if you don't give a flying !@#$ about race? Logic goes like this. Anyone vocal who is offended? No? Cool. Yes? Is it race related? No? Don't worry. Yes? It's offensive! You're a racist if you aren't! Absurd to the core.

I'm offended by the fact you don't know the difference between effects and affects. Yes, F the people who are offended by stupid ****. You miss the point entirely. As someone who is 15 pounds overweight, I am offended by your use of lighten up.

As someone who likes to win, and hates to pay bills, I am offended by the Bills.

Because it's a racial descriptor...that makes it bad? Indians OK (or is it?). Redkins bad. Is Seminoles OK? How is that any less offensive than redskin? Skin color is bad? Tribe affiliation is good?

As I said.

Giants are offensive to people with giantism. Or to midgets. When the midgets have their say in the public eye, watch out. The PC among us will deplore our casual use of this offensive word. Redskin is offensive because some people consider it so, and because it was once generations ago used as a less than positive moniker. Someday, Viking could very well be deemed offensive due to their violent exploits. I wonder if the people raped and pillaged by the Vikings centuries ago would be offended by our casual use of the word today. It is no different than Redskin. It may have once been an "offensive" name for American Indians. Or Native Americans. (Right moniker?) Because so, we who are not PC are considered to be crass, or even worse...the R word. Cowboys--is that a stereotype? Are cowboys uneducated? Political correctness is a disease of the mind. It leads to censorship, lost freedoms, and mindlessness. People afflicted with it cannot be changed because they feel they are in the moral right, because not offending is more important to their world view than freedom or logic or anything else. Oh ****. Here we go...

Of course you would. Blank is a wonderful owner. He's a wonderful business man whose created a gazillion jobs. And he's a wonderful philanthropic presence. But he can use his own wonderful money -- he has it -- not take it from the taxpayers to the tune of $300m-plus. This includes property taxes from the surrounding area and more. I would love a stadium. But it just seems insane to force taxpayers to pay for something that could be paid for by the people who are profiting off it. It's like Apple charging you to develop its next iPhone in addition to making you pay for one. Braves IMO have a good fanbase. Falcons, meh. I think the domed atmosphere, fervent SEC fanbase, and high Yankee transplant population, have a lot to do with it. I liken going to a Falcons game to going to see an opera.
