Loved the pop and downhill nature Dorian Williams brought to the defense when he played. I also think lightbulb goes on for Elam. He’s still a pup.
I agree with Williams, he physically fits the position well for us and I think he understands his role well. Our LBs could be insane for the next few years. I disagree with Elam but it is one of my few indictments of Beane, taking a man cover corner to play put zone is dumb, guys instincts work with one or other, rarely both.

I went to the Bills Raiders playoff game that about the same temperature and stayed the whole game when I was in my teens. My father left with my sister who was a preteen at the time at the end of first quarter because her clothes weren't warm enough. I have minimal sympathy for any adult because if you bundle up you will be fine and it takes several bad decisions to get to that point. As for kids, my sympathy is enormous and wish they had a father like mine.

When one is a product of their environment, they don't see the future, they see it one day at a time. it's called the hustle/servival.
people from Sheltered upbringings don't understand because they have never lived or experienced it.
1 hour ago, The Frankish Reich said:How is this even possible? Are the parents just completely disconnected? Do these kids (Honors) expect to go to college?
What Frank said about too high self esteem is not off the mark for many of these kids. I will state most of the kids I teach have parents who have money to pay full freight for a college, so scholarships and such are not top of mind. Also most colleges have acceptance rates north of 50% so being from my school and being a 3.0 gpa kid gets you into most schools. During 2021 COVID was top of mind and kids stayed home with minor colds, and that seems to be continuing, which is an issue. Lastly I definitely have the kids who don't care about college or the future also, but the issue we have is we can't kick them out really until they turn 19 even if they are not doing much of anything.

If you hear about the absenteeism being out of control, it is not a joke. I have an Honors class in the middle of the day where 19 of 26 already have 10+ absences. Generally at 10 absences for the year and A is hard to reach. 10 of the students are on pace for 20 absences and at that point a B is generally unrealistic. How is a teacher responsible for kids they don't see?

I'd say scale and willingness by a campaign to accept interference.
As far as I can tell, the IRA is fairly unprecedented. I'm not aware of such an organization playing in a US election at that scale before. The advent of the internet and social media presented an effective opportunity that we hadn't seen before and were definitely not prepared for.
In addition to that, the Trump Campaign had an unprecedented willingness to meet with foreign agents promising politically beneficial information. There were dozens of contacts between the campaign and Russian operatives when the normal thing to do would be to report such attempted contacts to law enforcement.
Hillary literally paid for the Steele Dossier, which is Russian disinformation, and you think Trump was the new "scale and willingness"? Secondly acceptance of foreign interference is applauded when it is believed to help liberals, such as foreign nationals whom work in Hollywood praise them.

Something that has become pretty common is to set a baseline on an issue that is either incorrect or exaggerated because it allows you to make the point you want to make. It's just strawman stuff all the way down.
For the Russia investigation, many on the Right assume the narrative of far-Left loonies was the basis of the investigation (think Occupy Democrats, Krassenstein grifters, and even Hillary, etc.) who said things along the lines of Trump taking orders from Putin.
That way, when there's a lack of evidence to disprove the extreme position, they can claim victory over the entire issue, ignoring the reality of the situation.
What the Mueller Report found is that Russia tried to interfere in the election to Trump's benefit and that the Trump Campaign was open to (or even welcoming of) that support. It also detailed several crimes committed by Russians, members of the Trump Campaign, and by Trump himself.
But because it didn't prove the extreme / exaggerated claim that Trump and Putin were working hand-in-hand, the Right declared victory, completely ignoring anything else discovered in the investigation.
The idea that Trump and Putin had entered into a conspiracy was always way out there. There wasn't any need for an agreement between the parties: they wanted the same thing and they were going to act to achieve it. Why would they need a formal agreement on it when they were going to do it anyway?
If Mueller was telling the truth when he said there wasn't an agreement between Trump and Putin (he was), then why do they think basically everything else in the report is a lie (it isn't)?
In the end, you get people stupidly using the Mueller Report to disprove the Mueller Report either through a lack of reading comprehension or a malicious desire to mislead.
I do have a question for you- how was the interference in 2016 any different than the interference in every election since at least Reagan? The only major difference I see is that one of the campaigns was dumb enough to get hacked with classified information. Russians lied about Trump in the Steele Dossier, Russians lied about Hillary also.

Any player not named Josh Allen should be available for the right price but I doubt anyone will offer what he is worth to us.

UCF went 6-7 and lost to GT Tech in the bowl game.
They knew who UCF was.They overestimated themselves.
Rat poison will do that.
By the way, welcome to Gus Malzhan football.
I see it has only been 3 years.
You probably still think he will turn it around.
Give it 2 more years, and you will understand why Auburn fans were ready to move on from him.
UCF had some injuries in middle of year and got smoked by two middling teams. We lost by 2 to Sooners and by 1 to Texas tech and Baylor. We would have been 8-4 if not for some bad luck. All of our good luck came during that one game.

you proved wealthy people live in the same communities as poor people. nothing more. I proved that the index case was not an immigrant. as for how he got it, perhaps his unvaxed family had travelled or their friends had. Anti vax morons tend to stick together in their cult (thank God). You have no evidence these cases were initiated by illegals yet you persist in making your racist judgment. I really hope you are a fake teacher like so many other fakes on the MAGA side here.
I will ask again, if playing the odds, what is the most likely source of the illness to a child who has never traveled?

The index case at Manatee School had not travelled and was not an immigrant. All you’ve proven is that there are wealthy people in Fla. no kidding. Winter garden is a nice town for Fla. We enjoyed the Ravenous Pig when it was downtown. Now it kinda sucks.
https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Health/7th-measles-case-confirmed-outbreak-linked-florida-elementary/story?id=107605078“The initial case was confirmed earlier this month in a third-grade student with no travel history. “
Now link your citation that shows immigrants are responsible Nothing wrong with me. I don’t trust MAGAs with good reason…
I proved your statement that illegals don't live in "affluent suburbs" was stupid, but as for the third grader, if the child did not travel how did they come into contact with the measles? Lack of travel means it was most likely brought in with someone else from somewhere else. It is very likely the initial student with it did not go to a doctor because he was illegal.

Sure you do. And you haven't turned them in to customs and immigration? Why not? Likely wealth from nefarious sources if remotely true.
What is wrong with you? You throw around accusations that are juvenile and bigoted whenever you are shown that your "facts" are stupid. But I will show you how mixed some areas of Florida are as far as income. This is not my school but in my county, and these two would go to the same school.

from my linked article:
"There have been nine confirmed cases of measles in Broward County, where six cases were initially confirmed at the Manatee Bay Elementary School in the affluent suburb of Weston. " Illegal immigrants aren't generally affluent.
That is the dumbest argument I have heard, I teach billionaires kids and have several students who are illegal immigrants, they live with legal people with several families per house. But thankfully you did not try to argue how it was introduced to the community.

Something I have been hearing from friends who teach down in Belle Glade area that NIL is coming to high school. Players currently go to local restaurants and get free food without concern about college eligibility, so how long till it is fully sanctioned?

Shakir will be better this year than last year. He will be a top 8 slot guy in the NFL similar to Beasley was to us. When we drafted him I was thrill because in college he was like Beasley but more athletic.

I am a UCF season ticket holder and our game vs OSU was the brightest spot of the season. That being said we had played extremely poorly the two prior games and for obvious reasons you thought that was who we were.

Stop watching Fox and then spreading their lies. As a teacher, I hope you teach your students to fact check better than you do. https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/fox-news-laura-ingraham-baselessly-blames-migrants-for-florida-measles-outbreak-19135718
For a "doctor" you seem to have a very poor understanding of how viruses are introduced to a population. If measles were eradicated from the area for the past 20+ years, where do you suggest the initial infection came from? Secondly only 4% are not vaccinated in Florida schools of people here legally, so it is amazing you think the majority of non vaccinated students got the illness that fast in the school

Probably your dumbest, most unaware post ever. That’s saying a lot. If you ignore the border disaster, Biden has been such a friend of Texas during his presidency!
Good god man. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽

Well Biden sent 600 firefighters to Canada when it was on fire but 100 to Texas, so the response is pretty much par for the course. Americans get minimal help while our foreign friends get maximum help.

People shite on Biden all the time. I’m not invested in him. It doesn’t bother me except when his record is distorted. I’d love someone other than him on the ballot. But trump is a bad man and will greatly weaken this great country with isolationism and his band of white supremacists
In the thread about measles, which is now in the Latino communities in Florida brought by people illegally in the country you are railing against White supremacy and isolationism? Whites are not related to this story, but if we were isolationists this particular problem would not be here. Do you see white supremacy a lot in your area of the country?

This whole story makes no sense unless it is a political hit piece or a psyop. This guy is an FBI informant who for years did their dirty work of Intel gathering, you would not publicly burn him unless the entire purpose is the optics. The FBI would lose any chance of getting any decent informant in the future if a source thought they could be outed for bad information, it is covert work. Secondly the FBI brought the source to Republicans, the Republicans believed he was a good source because of the FBI. Lastly the most damning evidence against Joe and Hunter is the laptop, which the FBI has already stated is real and they lied about to get Joe elected, so why is the media pretending this guy is the key piece?

we have the most guns< and the most gun deaths
do we need more guns to prevent gun deaths?
We have far more guns then the 1980s and far less murders with guns than the 1980s, but somehow you think the issue is the guns themselves. In my neighborhood I know for a fact that there are more guns than people but the worst crime in 20 years is teens stealing from unlocked cars. I also find it shocking how often liberals only care about gun deaths but don't worry about any other version of murder. My goal is to lower all murder rates but that clearly is not your goal

It's not important. But it does have some limited meaning. It shows that conservative minds are not creative or funny. And maybe shows are out of touch with pop culture.
And I agree on snl. If I watch the whole show they'll have 2,3 funny skits. Not great, though it's not my type of humor mostly. And yet.....destroys anything that leans conservative.
But I would laugh at things that make fun of the left, unlike right wing twats.
Conservatives don't base our thoughts on what is funniest. It is hard to make jokes about what a crap show NYS has become because everyone I know who still lives there has a lesser life because of the government. It is hard to make jokes about the problems created by liberal policies since the issues are so serious. But in reference to John Oliver himself he has an average of 400k viewers, which makes him equal to a regular season WNBA game.

The report card for the Bills came out much better than I expected and if Terry wants to jump into the top 5 all he needs to do is copy what the top teams are doing for travel. The nutrition part I have no solution because you live in Buffalo.

Just trying to see if you could corroborate your claim. I do have Google, and here's the number I found: $20.23 billion for border security. Seems like a good chunk that could help them a lot.
What does the other 82% of the bill look like?
