Since you've managed to get away w/ only renting one in the past, if you think your future use will be similar, I'd highly recommend you get a good, electric saw (assuming you don't consider that an oxymoron ) I have an 80v Earthworks. If you can get away w/ one battery, they're roughly equivalent of a gas powered saw of equivalent price (~$300), ie good homeowner or low end rancher's saw). My main complaint of my old gas saw was that more often than not, I spent more time & effort getting the dang thing started then it would've taken doing the task w/ a handsaw. W/ electric, you just make sure the battery is charged & voila, cutting away. The one downside is it's only good for about 11 minutes of HARD cutting. That equates to about 1 hour of work doing moderate cutting. But if you're felling & cutting up maybe a tree every yr or so, I think it's the way to go.

So as some of you know, the NYS Thruway is "closed" for cash business. As such, they record your license & will bill you. I took the Thruway 2x last nite, I think 40¢ & going home $1.05. Obviously if they're billed separately, it makes no sense to pay 45¢ or whatever a stamp costs to collect 40. But either way, I'm wondering if there's a minimum charge to process a VISA transaction, like maybe 50¢? (I seem to recall someone "spamming" a charity (Westboro Baptist Church?) by giving the numerous 1¢ donations, and having it cost them $) Of course it being gov't efficiency, they'd prolly pay the 45 to collect 40 anyway.

I would've been very happy retaining him for ~$8m/yr. IMO, $10m is not out of line for someone of his caliber. Somewhat surprised someone didn't offer more.

For my own edification, can someone clarify something please: Is "lack of financial support" a euphemism for "cancelled due to bad ratings" or do shows like that typically buy their own radio time, like an infomercial type arrangement & then are responsible for procuring their own support?

Somewhat (pleasantly) surprised. My feeling is that many times he would have been better off downing more & taking the 25. I'll also interject that the graph would be better served if the Y axis were reversed (say %age not returned). Then it would essentially be an efficient frontier thing.

I am somewhat surprised, but I guess he's not favor of the week. We've had a solid/elite defense two yrs running. Daboll took a weak offense & w/ a considerable influx of talent turned them mediocre.

It seems our strategy is to try & win games 17-13. I was saying in the 3rd quarter we need over 20 pts to win. Our TD on the 1st drive was largely a result of 2 plats where we had the Dee fooled. After that drive? Only FGs. You're not going to win too many games against good competition in today's NFL scoring less than 20 points.

I don't think he needs to work on it at all; he does it too much already.

Losers? I don't recall ever having a team pack up & leave Buffalo in the middle of the night. :LOL:

We also have Croom who showed promise as a developing receiver.

You pay based upon where the $ is earned, ie Bills only pay 1/2 (actually, I think it's 9/17ths) of their income as NYS income tax. Also, many States have "entertainer taxes" (I assume NYS being one of them), so although NYS is very highly taxed relative to other destinations, it's not as disadvantageous as one might think. Further, on "a few million", the extra taxes "only" amount to "a few hundred thousand"; there are other, often more important factors when considering employment situations.

You may very well have an observational bias. You see when they work, and when they work, they appear to work extraordinarily well (provided the tackle doesn't drop it). You don't see how many times it's attempted & he's covered &/or the QB goes elsewhere (or gets sacked/runs).

They sort of already do. Way back when, punters were typically 14 yds back. Now they're mostly typically 15. I'd also imagine there aren't too many, if any, 3-step punters anymore.

Possible simulcast by local affiliate(s) for the NFLN game?

Do we still have that promising rookie on the PS, or did someone grab him?

Too lazy to add them up, but I'd be curious if that's ALL the defensive snaps taken. Only 5 DBs & w/ the top 4 missing a few plays each, that means that we didn't play nickel often.

I'm not much of a twit, but can't you just tag him in a tweet, then he'll see it?

didn't the Pats* also give up 2 TDs on offense? I think their defense has only yielded 2 TDs.

I'll give him credit that he certainly was booing them. And consistently. However, he was out-kicked by their guy, like 49 to 43 net. Also, although a 64 yard touchback is acceptable, you'd certainly like better net results in that situation. As I recall, the other TB was like 55, which IMO is about the ideal situation to yield a great punt; a net of 35 in that situation is sub-par.

The contrasting jersey is worn by a player referred to as a "libero". Briefly, they're a defensive specialist (good at passing) & special rules apply to them. The contrasting jersey allows them to be better identified by the refs.

The link on Bb_dot_com looks to be about the same length & no one asks about the blocked punt. Clearly an instance of being out-coached that was the difference in the game between 2 very good defenses.

Basically, you have a smart ST play taking advantage of a stupid one. Left footed punter, they had 2 guys coming in able to block the punt on the left. Demarco took out the inside one (the one w/ the shorter path in); the outside one still made it. Ideally, a punter sees he's about to get blocked & does something (shuffle punt, abort & run). The low snap may have inhibited his ability to do so (but again, is he smart/experienced enough to decide whether or not to kick it). I haven't seen the replay, but was our gunner uncovered? If so, that's a major FUBAR mistake. He should either be thrown to or come into block.

Two possible scenarios as to why she would cooperate w/ the NFL. 1) The claims have minimal merit & she's just doing it to "spite" AB. 2) The claims are legit & she is then using the NFL and it's considerable resources to substantiate her claims gratis.

For battery powered, I have several Milwaukee M18 tools. Very happy w/ them. I've used them side by side against Dewalt & think they're superior. For corded, I have a mix. I have a few Makita tools that are still going strong after over 30 yrs.

I think you need to judge kickers on a sliding scale as kicking has improved TREMENDOUSLY over time. Although not strong legged, Norwood was among the best historical kickers of his era for several yrs. Christie was also good though I don't know if up to that measurement. Although it was before my time, & he was only w/ the Bills for a short time, Googalak was for a short time, at a level beyond any of his peers.
