  1. This whole argument misses the two main points imo: 1) you do not get to protest while at work- I can not protest at my school I teach at-and my impact would be much more powerful than these guys. 2) kneeling during the anthem is protesting the entire country not just the parts they dislike. If you want to improve the police brutality situation then make an effort during days off. This kneeling is not informative or effective. I have to tell my students all the time that if you want things to change you better be able to speak up for your cause and work a hell of lot harder than just kneeling in TV.
  2. This plan is stupid because most of the guys who are making money for the school are not going to graduate. If they do they do not care about the $50K when they graduate they care about the $12 Million. Rosen needs to concentrate on football. I have a colleague whose son played at FSU a few years back as mainly a backup. He received the free education, free food, trips all over country, stipend per game he was active(I think only when active), and when they went to Orange Bowl he got like 12 grand in swag. I had a sweeter life in college then since-working like a slob with us.
  3. I believe there is actual fake news-made up to get a reaction- out there even on mainstream sources, but please stop calling lazy reporting fake. Many reporters are simply trying to put get an article out to meet a deadline and are too lazy to write and fact check. It is an indictment of journalism but does make it fake.
  4. I was watching his show between world cup matches and he was doing math on Lebron vs Tommy and screwed up the math pathetically-basically he said they had equal playoff winning % in careers and it is not even close. His job is to get people worked up during the slow season. I was annoyed for 12 seconds and just turned channel.
  5. I will disagree on the Dareus and Watkins being worst as both had there great moments. I would certainly change out McCargo for Andrew Whitworth and obviously TJ for Russell(though Russell still shocks me how good he is).
  6. I would be shocked if Shady is found guilty of anything criminal in a court of law-there is too much ambiguity and doubt. With that being said the Bills will hopefully do there own investigation and decide if he did this heinous act. If the Pegulas believe he did I hope they cut him and they believe he is innocent they should publicly back him-this is not a time for half measures.
  7. I have written 3 posts and deleted them before sending because of new info popping up. I will simply not comment until Friday when I believe a lot more info will be out. this breaking news stuff makes it impossible to get an understanding.
  8. I recommend staying north of stadium near turnpike. I found it was real easy to get there and out since stadium is right off turnpike( I personally like Plantation which has a Courtyard with a Duffys sports bar within walking distance). Fans are generally nice and easy going. I have avoided endzones since it is usually where problems start in RWS. But still be safe due to some fans are jerks and thank your son for his service. Lastly I recommend staying closer to Miami than orlando because that is rough drive after a game(I live in Orlando)
  9. I have two which stick out because of how I felt after the game: one was 1996 playoffs vs Jags where Natrone Means ran all over us. about 2005 Bills vs Fins in Miami- I think we were up 20-0 about halfway through third. we lost 21-20 I think. both games I felt defeated and could not beleive it.
  10. As stated previously it depends on what you mean-worst compared to expectations or just worst on field? I would go Mike Williams for first(4th overall I believe) and Reggie Bush for latter(he literally was worse than just doing nothing)
  11. Did not read all responses but ESPN writes articles based on 535 which tells the value of Star based on his numbers-NFL is the least reasonable to quantify because so many things are scheme dependent. Star might be overpaid but no one has any idea for at least 2 years, unless they know Buffalo could have had him for less-which they do not.
  12. I I agree overall but a more specific thought is " the health/attitude of Rosen is bigger threat than Allen inaccuracy concerns"
  13. NBA is the worst for parity and I am an NBA season ticket holder of a non contender. the money is huge and too many players can make 8 million a year as the 3rd player off bench. But NCAA football sued a federal court for the right to deny the lesser leagues a shot at the title. UCF should have had a shot this year but were denied despite having a better resume than Alabama-though I truly think Alabama would have beat them.
  14. I must chime in since I predicted his decline in production right after the super bowl. The NFL changed the rule about hitting QB when they might have ball. the simplified is that before rule refinement the D would not QB unless they knew he had ball-after they could clock him if he might have ball. He made a lot of plays on edge where defenders did not if they could kill him or not. He lost one of his best weapons in that the D was not nearly as confused. In a different vein he is not worth the distraction(as said by many) but no one hit on the biggest distraction in NFL history-Lawrence Taylor- he though always was the best player on his side of ball so they dealt with the distraction.
  15. Machine gun Kelly K-Gun-named for Keith Mckellar not Kelly Butch Rolle who only catches touchdowns(not really a nickname but said)
  16. I do not know where I fall in this as far as the "switch": I grew up in Western New York and was a yankee fan until the early 2000's when I moved to Orlando. I have never been to Yankee Stadium and only a few Yankee games but have been to dozens of Rays games and now root for Rays fully even over Yankees. I think I am clear but I was pretty obnoxious from 1996-2000 so I feel some shame. Hardest switch was from friend who was die hard Auburn fan and his cousin ended up in Alabama for basketball. He seems perpetually confused on who he is rooting for now when they play.
  17. To compare college quarterbacks using just numbers without having substantial modifications based on talent around them is almost worthless. If he was close to Deshaun Watson in most good throwing stats I am excited because I think Deshaun is a good QB who played with excellent talent around him. Allen played with little better than a dumpster fire. I have high expectations if they give him a chance to adjust to the NFL.
  18. I have not read every comment here but do remember that the last deal had a bribe for the government employees-a suite set aside for the state employees. I think Pegula is simply starting negotiations for the stadium with the state.
  19. everything you say is accurate-but why would they trot out Allen behind a crap line? And why is everyone so sure McCarron is good? I agree Mccarrons wife is hot but besides that he has never impressed me yet. I try to not to judge someone to harshly after one start, no matter how bad.
  20. This is why I love being a Bills fan-this team is so much a part of us that we care about the hats we give the newest Bills. BTW I like the Billieve but not the style.
  21. I do not understand why everyone is so sure this will not happen. If the coaches do not believe in our Oline they will not throw Allen out there to be killed as was David Carr. In that case I suspect Peterman might beat out McCarron since Peterman has shown the willingness to throw a ball quickly when necessary. Yes I realize what happened in LA.
  22. If it was not meant to troll I apologize- but to keep talking trash about the pick is pointless. Allen showed lots of promise in college and improved his team drastically. No QB is great in college unless is talent around him is at least good. I teach math as a profession and I love the stats but to look at numbers without context is crazy. Baker Mayfield better beat him in EVERY stat since his team was better than the teams played generally even without great QB play. Not true in Wyoming.
  23. When you are near the goal line execution usually is more important than athletic ability. So since he had lesser athletes around him his ability to zip the ball into tight windows was key. This is likely a big reason why the Bills wanted him over Rosen This is a troll comment but I will give you one more he was first in-improvement in team wins from the years before he arrived to when he was there. I will also bet you they drop back down next year. If the most important thing is improving your team he is 1st on that list.
  24. I think you are quite right. most general football fans think of the Pats* as Cheaters. No one I know-even their own fans- argue with any vehemence that the first 3 wins are legitimate. The main thing to most sport fans I know is that everything they do is tainted. I honestly have no idea if they cheat anymore but they are like the kid in the neighborhood who would cheat anytime he started losing-they have no credibility and the NFL is suffering from it.
  25. I thankfully do not live where the Buffalo News in the main source of information. When I visit family-which is basically a few weeks every year- I find it pathetic. Sullivan basically reruns the same columns each year with new names but same bashing. The rest of news is always with the same slant and never only facts. If you are going to go the route of sensationalist then you need to know you will shrink your audience when the intelligent people realize it. Most of Buffalo is intelligent and has decided that they want a different choice which is now readily available.
