Punching Bag

Government employees almost always are eligible for forgiveness programs. Worked with government employee who got his entire debt forgiven and his position was not listed in program. Sometimes they do that to make it more palatable to those who do not want more government spending on government programs and seeing all of the programs they are eligible for and all of the extra time off I am starting to agree with it. At my job I sometimes get email for those intended only for government employees but you are instructed to destroy it if not intended for you.

So glad Bills did not ask you what you would do. Paying an OC more than head coach is just asking for trouble. If Bills needed an inside man to ask about his work as OC they would likely ask Mitch Morse first. He was the OC his last season with Chiefs.

Bills @ Cardinals game. Oct 5, 2008 — Buffalo Bills quarterback Trent Edwards went down with a concussion on the third play of the game against the Arizona Cardinals. I was working in Seal Beach, California for a month so free rental car and gas so I went to game using a "good deal" I got from a fan at a Bills Backer bar I was going to when I was working there. Seemed to me to a lot longer drive than normally is for that distance. I got to the place people we meeting at and very crowded. I went to use bathroom and my seat was taken for someone who told waitress I left. When she spotted me I stated I was not leaving and I barely had a sip from my drink and she told me to was thrown away and bar rule is no replacement drink. I paid for it and left but left little tip with a note on bill saying why. She complained and I told her to get it from person who took my seat and told you I left. Went in game and when I got to seat I found out it was under an overhang blocking half of view and there was a girder directly in front of my seat blocking my obstructed view. There were TV sets but I could not see them well. After first quarter and multiple complaints about me trying to look around girder left and went seat hopping try to find a seat to sit in which was unoccupied when person was getting a drink, etc. and while some were understanding others were not and one poured a soda on me while I was trying to get up. At half time I went back to my seat to just rest since I was climbing stairs a lot and my seat was taken by someone who used it put their gear. I asked him to move it and he refused saying he bought two seats and he was not giving it up. I showed him my ticket stub and he still refused saying I must have bought a fraudulent ticket. I said I was sitting in this seat first quarter and he just ignored me. I found an usher, told him someone else was using my seat and could he find me another one unoccupied and he said no, checked ticket and said it was valid but he would speak to seater. Seater claimed he was season ticket holder and these were his seats. Usher asked for his tickets and he said it got wet in bathroom and he threw it away. Usher told him to give up seat and walked away. Guy picked up his stuff and then accidently spilled his drink and nacho sauce on seat saying 'Sorry it slipped'. I went to look for usher but he was gone and was not going to through it again. During third quarter I just went to standing area to watch game finally deciding to leave at end of third quarter. Went to parking area and when I tried to leave they said my parking ticket was invalid. I paid via credit card and showed receipt and they said "That is not us, you must have parked before we were open" but the same sign was there as when I parked minus "early bird" deal. They were charging significantly more and required cash. I paid and stated I want a receipt and person said they were out. Used camera to take picture of person with complaint that is not allowed and I told him call a cop or take my money, your choice. Either way the picture will be sent to owner of lot and company on credit card receipt. He hesitated in lifting barrier but I told him I would not give him the money until he lifted it. He lifted it and I paid him while taking picture of sign as well. Eventually I would get credit charge refunded via American Express but was told that the company had no idea who person in picture was. So much for the good deal on parking I was told about. I was a little ahead of traffic leaving stadium and got on interstate to California. Traffic was terrible with one lane going 80 miles an hour and other with trucks going 40. Not comfortable that much over speed limit driving extended distance in company rental car with out of state plates so I went from driving behind trucks to driving in left lane when there were large gaps. When sun came down and windmills on horizon it made me sleepy so when I got out of metropolitan area I stopped at a rest area, set alarm and napped until it was dark and went back to my hotel.

Anybody can get it wrong in 30 seconds without million person audience.

Good for him if he still has passion to play. His wife's career can support family.

Partly due to Br*dy forcing head coach out.

As Odysseus send put beeswax in your ears!

I went to high school with Dina Corsetti who has been on Broadway and off Broadway for a number of years not always with credit. She does musicals and non. She has also done a lot of plays around the country including in Shakespeare festivals. I worked with her on Man of La Mancha play, my favorite, in high school. I do not know how active (pun intended) she is now but at last class reunion I went to many were talking about seeing her.

Rapport and I have disagree on what word "extensive" means.

Backup safety to Kansas City Chiefs. Played 7 games, none of them starting. Played Special Teams in Chiefs vs Bills week 6 in 2022

Yes. Many call him La Conjuncture.

Milano and Edmunds are very different people. Milano told his agent "make it happen" so he did although agent probably would have preferred that he went on market to make his commission higher.

There are Bills Backers groups throughout the country, They used to support them a lot. We would get mini-calendars, posters, flags, yearbooks, etc. Our group raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Bills charities. They used to allow Bills Backers groups buy tickets for groups. Last year? They sent a Bills Mafia flag, a group which has been adopted as their marketing group. Been a Bills Backer president since late 90s and about to give it up. All they seem to now is give postal and email addresses to marketers including ticket agencies telling they will help organize a game for you with packages including hotel rooms, air plane tickets, bus and tailgate. Sometimes they include a night before game event at a bar.

More precisely it is to reduce competition to Ticket$hafter and agencies which resell them as part of ticket package with tailgate, hotel, etc. Except they sell them to travel agencies which sell them to out of area fans. They get some Bills fans but mostly they sell to opposition fans.

Bought a used car with a warranty from dealer. I had an issue in less than 3 months and brought it back to dealer and was told it was not covered by warranty (computer I think) and asked if I wanted it fixed and I said yes. A month later same issue and same response not covered and paid again. A month later same issue AGAIN so I went to a different dealer and I was told told it was a cracked engine block and covered - and from oil buildup it was at least 6 months earlier meaning issue was there when I bought car. I asked for used parts. Later found out that when dealers offer warranties they need to contribute to repairs so it dealer I bought it from was stalling until car was out of warranty. I contacted manufacturer and manufacturer paid part of my first two repairs. I did spent one day off on sidewalk outside dealership with bullhorn telling customers to not trust dealership. Told to leave and I said it was freedom of speech and if they had an issue call a cop and I'd call newspaper who evidence and copy of repayment check from manufacturer. Never had a cop come. Used car ran many years after that.

How did you count that many fans on your fingers and toes? Reminds me of claims by "Moral" Majority.

Except he had entire year where he had no penalties. Some Bills fans said he was but referees didn't.

So you do not know difference between idiotic comments and sarcasm. Good to know!

Take a rest Francine. There is nothing good or fun about cheap shots by Bills fans when we have fans of so many other teams taking cheap shots. Horns out.

Might as well make up he is is holding someone like they did when he played with Bills. He had an entire year with no holds but this bogus comment persisted all year.

Well it does not take a genius to understand that his contract expired with the Bills at the end of the 2022 NFL season. Maybe he or his family is looking for a change. He was raised in Georgia and Jacksonville is not too far from there. No but he does get a bonus due to needing to deal with inept criticism from fans and press. If it continues it will become as well known as P*ts comp picks.

If you have @Chicken Boo for brains yes.

Agree. I had an interview at a company and one of the interviewers was someone I worked with but we were at different companies. Company had multiple levels of interviews mandated costing interviewees a lot of time including one where interviewees needed to basically do a take-home essay test. The person who worked with before told me confidentially do not bother for there was a mandate to hire a minority for position even though position was theoretically open to all. There was slanted grading system on candidates so minority candidates would all pass until last round of interviews. Chicken crap.

I agree but think it is less of an impact than it for getting head coach position. A head coach is supposed to be leader of the team and hard to discipline someone for off field issues when you have done worst/ Imagine Br*dy being a head coach and punishing a player for getting caught cheating.

She put more energy into commercials for show than show. And that one number had her in red rubber suit reminding me of a show with a guy in an inflatable suit bouncing all around the stage. They should get two bands do a joint performance like Chicago & Earth Wind and Fire did in 2004 at the Greek Theatre, Completely different styles but they pulled it off. Bands could also do pre- and post- shows for paying customers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pqi3WOIwjA8
