  1. Woah, I thought he just allegedly mooned them.
  2. So states like Texas, Arkansas, and Alabama are refusing refugees now (says their governors.) http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/11/16/obama-plan-to-bring-in-syrian-refugees-after-paris-attacks-increases-gop/ On Monday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that he sent a letter to President Obama saying that Texas will not take any Syrian refugees in light of the attacks. "Neither you nor any federal official can guarantee that Syrian refugees will not be part of any terroristic activity," Abbott wrote. "As such, opening our door to them irresponsibly exposes our fellow Americans to unacceptable peril." He joined a growing list of governors who have said they will not resettle Syrian refugees, including Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson in opposing the move, who said Monday in a tweet, "As Governor I will oppose Syrian refugees being located to Arkansas." In a statement, Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley said he reached his decision "[a]fter full consideration of this weekend's attacks of terror on innocent citizens in Paris ... I will not stand complicit to a policy that places the citizens of Alabama in harm's way." My question is, they can't really do anything, right? Besides withholding state aid and not aiding the settling process, what clout do they have?
  3. He had one. good. year. It was a fluke.
  4. I don't think you know what tea-bag means.
  5. As I coast to another victory (which marks my fifth straight), I can't help but laugh at the irony that TYTT, a man who spent countless hours arguing with me about the Bills QBs, has lost in part due a poor fantasy performance by Tyrod Taylor. You're a shooting star, bro, don't let anyone tell you different.
  6. Depends on what story you believe.
  7. He retired.
  8. Mike Garafolo ‏@MikeGarafolo 1m1 minute ago Patriots WR Julian Edelman broke his foot today and his season is in jeopardy, source tells @FS1
  9. Hide him and pretend we traded 3 firsts for Sammy.
  10. Gotta finish better than 9-7.
  11. Because his receivers have been dog poop all year and he's managed to look mediocre?
  12. SportsCenter ‏@SportsCenter 43m43 minutes ago The Bears are the first team with more than 1 80+-yard offensive TD in a game since the 2006 Bills. Cutty and JP!
  13. The small jobs line was definitely a joke, IMO.
  14. You may be waiting awhile.
  15. No way, he's had it since Sammy was drafted.
  16. I never thought I'd see a guy named HoF Watkins bitching about how Watkins sucks. We've come completely full circle.
  17. How could I forget Curtis Painter?
  18. Are there coaches who want backups who turn it over and can't control the ball?
  19. Because it is a team game, when someone claims a single unit is responsible for the loss, I always assume that means "most responsible." It's an obvious point that everyone else "could've done more." But that has to be taken within reason. Do I expect our defense to hold a team to a net of 7 points? No. Is it reasonable to expect that in the modern NFL? No. If you mapped it out, EJ is to blame for greater than 50% of that loss. And when one player is invalidating the effort of the other 48, you have a big freaking problem. I mean, would anyone rational make a big deal out of Eli "contributing to the loss" because he only threw for 6 TD's against the Saints? Or do you say, "yeah I guess he could've scored more, but maybe the defense could've not allowed Brees to throw 6000 yards and 7TD's." I know which one I agree with.
  20. I don't see allowing 13 points and scoring 7 in today's NFL as anywhere close to a mistake as the ones EJ made.
  21. The defense was the unit who actually took the lead and completed the comeback.
