Buftex

I am just amazed how we can all live in the same world, and see things so completely the opposite.

Living out of market (Texas) in a city where a Sunday afternoon Bills game pretty much only happens if they are playing the Cowboys, or the Texans, I was faced with this dilemma during the COVID infected 2020 season. I had the NFL GamePass package (which is, essentially what the slightly cheaper NFL+ is now), which I would use a few times a season when my work schedule interfered with seeing Bills games live. I could avoid scores all day, at work, and then watch the Bills later in the evening. Otherwise, I was at my local Bills-backers bar on Sundays. In 2020 though, our bar was shut down often, and I just didn't want to miss the whole NFL season, so I could watch the Bills games later in the evening. I felt kinda desprate. A friend of mine gave me a link (not necessarily legal I imagine) to a free sight where I can watch any game (any sports league) live, any time. I started using it to watch Celtics basketball games too, rather than pay for the NBA streaming package. As there are so many Celtics games, I just couldn't watch them all, so spending a $120 a season to watch a few games a month didn't seem worth it. I have watched every Bills Sunday afternoon game, and probably about 40 Celtics regular season games this way, over the last two year. I have had very few, if any trouble with the site. The site just supplies multiple links to every game...there was probably about 3 or 4 times where the first link I chose wouldn't work, so I would choose the next. No problem. Just activate your ad-blockers, and enjoy. I don't mind paying for stuff, at all. If the NFL would offer me the opportunity to pay to see Bills games live, I would have no problem paying for it, assuming it wasn't some absurd price. I've paid for years for subscriptions to the NBA Center Court package, and the NHL Center-Ice package, as well as NFL GamePass. ESPN+ has taken over the NHL, so for about $40 less per season, I can now get the Sabres games. The Celtics are a competitive team with a huge national fan-base, so they are on ESPN/TNT/NBA Network plenty. NFL+ (formerly GamePass) is a great value too...but it just doesn't offer that live viewing option.

We obviously have a far from perfect political system. We are perpetually left with the "lesser of two evils" scenario. As many faults as Democrats have (and there are plenty), the party offers far more room for a difference of opinions from within. I am 57. In my lifetime I have never seen either party so afraid to cross their leader... these people, day after day, have to pledge their steadfast allegiance to this clown, or face the prospect of being "cancelled" by the cult that has taken over their party. On paper, Liz Cheney was everything conservatives could want in a candidate. She voted with Trump about 97% of the time. She would never have been considered a RINO at any other time. But she was pretty much banished by her party, for the offense of simply recognizing Trumps obvious and blatant corruption. The party could get all the same ***** stuff they want with a person like Cheney, but because she recognizes the reality of Trump, she has to go. The Republican party has morphed into the party of Trump. The one person in GOP leadership that stuck to their core conservative principles got destroyed for it. There are no unifying principles in the Republican party, only fealty to Trump. Biden's speech for as many crocodile tears as MAGAS, and right-wing pundits have been crying, was spot on.

I realize you are not a particularly reflective person... like I've said before, you MAGA's (spare me the denials) are proof that eventually people are immune to the smell of their own body odor. The GOP really owes America a courtesy flush.

Offering up a reminder to people that our country is worth saving... letting Republicans know that they don't need to be bullied into following Trump into the sewar. There are plenty who claim that a sizable number of elected Republicans hold their nose, as they back all this MAGA crap, because they want to save their jobs, and they are afraid of the Trump base. I wouldn't expect the MAGA faction of PPP to be impressed...but he wasn't talking to the people so far in the weeds. Trump is not Mitt Romney or John McCain, George Bush...he is a corrupt, petty, insecure, dishonest, dishonorable slob, who has somehow snookered a sizable (though there are indications, shrinking), that he is some sort of answer to all our problems. I completely agree, the decisiveness sucks... but that is the whole MAGA thing...divide and conquer. It isn't noble, and it isn't good. I get that it all sounds hyperbolic, but he is truly a threat to our country.

She is a really great actress. "They Shoot Horsed Don't They?" is one of my all-time favorite movies. The documentary that HBO did about her, a few years ago ("Jane Fonda In Five Acts") was really great. btw- if you haven't seen it, check out "Joy House". It is a French film she did in 1964, with Alan Delon. A good thriller!

Yes, I am sure that the middle-aged bigots that comprise the bulk of PPP are representative of the majority of the country.

And what would that matter to you?

It was refreshingly honest.

You MAGAs are so oblivious to what hypocritical #######s you are...it's pretty scary.

He was right...the whole, "if you get a hand on it, you have to catch it" is as tired a cliche' as there is with analysts. Keenum's lack of touch was responsible for that pick.

There is a segment amongst the "mafia" that views every single damn thing with an hyper-sensitive eye/ear. It's ***** football...it's a game...all the guys that people wax so poetically about from the days of yesteryear, had just as many issues... complaining because he didn't explain he didn't differentiate between "a quick timeout" and calling a timeout quickly? Even though you know what he meant? Petty fan base we have...as you all could no doubt do better, just watch with the sound off, you might actually enjoy the game.

Turn the sound down, and you can do just that. He was fine. It's a ***** preseason game...watch the local coverage of pretty much any other team, and you will hear far worse....then again, we are Bills fans, we complain about everything and anyone!

The MAGA rubes will be the end of us all...Donald ***** Trump...a base made up of the suckers born in their minute.

Beacause he knows how easy his base of rubes are to fool...

That which is denied cannot be healed

The lord must love lunatics, because he made so many of them...

I 🧡 the deep state!

I can see that too....

I'm gonna go bold, and say Dan Marino!

Exactly

I saw it yesterday...

Yes, it was a real "peaceful transfer of power" B-Man found a link!

It's all case by case...if you think this is "no big deal" you really aren't paying attention, you don't understand what happened (or is happening), and you aren't worth discussing with it any further. Or, even worse, you really don't care. You are as gullible as it gets. Not hard to imagine finding an echo-chamber for your lazy view on an NFL football fan-site. MAGA requires the same kind of blind faith, suspension of disbelief as following a football team. Spare me the bull#### about how non-partisan you are...the incels on PPP might buy that, but not me!

If they follow the normal formula, that will be at the beginning...
