  1. Right? One minute he's making 20 yard touch passes look effortless, then he tries to shoot down Sputnik on a check down.
  2. If only TB stayed in NE and then imploded like he's doing right now...
  3. I'll chuck you a like for the Office Space reference, but no more.
  4. The Washington Red Octobers, and slap a big submarine on the helmet, their colors are red and gold already so they may as well roll with Soviet references so they can stay edgy. Or the Washington Red Scare, and their mascot could zombie Lenin or a family friendly hammer-and-sickle.
  5. We here in the 518 are praying for the day Danny says ***** it and finally mops up Price Chopper. Price Chopper's Market 32 type stores are just knock-off Wegmans anyway.
  6. Listening to the ESPN talking heads and sports hacks discuss Pats cheating for what, 13 years now? None. They have no asterisks, everybody is still the GOAT coach, GOAT QB, and the Patriot Way is How To Run A Franchise.
  7. Martin Luther King Jr wrote on this in his Letter from a Birmingham Jail. It's worth reading start to finish, because he threw down a gauntlet for America to pick up if we want to live up to our founding principles. "I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the *****'s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the ***** to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection. I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and that when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress. I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that the present tension in the South is a necessary phase of the transition from an obnoxious negative peace, in which the ***** passively accepted his unjust plight, to a substantive and positive peace, in which all men will respect the dignity and worth of human personality. Actually, we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured. In your statement you assert that our actions, even though peaceful, must be condemned because they precipitate violence. But is this a logical assertion? Isn't this like condemning a robbed man because his possession of money precipitated the evil act of robbery? Isn't this like condemning Socrates because his unswerving commitment to truth and his philosophical inquiries precipitated the act by the misguided populace in which they made him drink hemlock? Isn't this like condemning Jesus because his unique God consciousness and never ceasing devotion to God's will precipitated the evil act of crucifixion? We must come to see that, as the federal courts have consistently affirmed, it is wrong to urge an individual to cease his efforts to gain his basic constitutional rights because the quest may precipitate violence. Society must protect the robbed and punish the robber."
  8. Didn't Newcastle just get bought by some trillionaire oil Baron? If he could just plow some of the millions he's about dump into the transfer market into the local economy...
  9. "It's an old 716 message. It means Ernie Adams liked ranch better than blu cheese."
  10. I can see the parallel. An industrial city that goes bust when the coal mines and shipyards died out, where the folks go to church and get buried in their jerseys. Way worse for them though because of all that promotion/relegation BS. And the officiating seems about as awful. That one guy getting a DWI after he took out a curbs worth of parked cars hit a a bit too close to home.
  11. Got 4 tickets to the home opener, hoping that Hammer will open up too! There's 5 of us going in total.
  12. Last I checked StubHub, there were all of 4073 tickets left for the home opener.
  13. Hot take, there's a Bill on the roster right now that's getting moved to put a Bill on the roster tonight. *Please let it be Trent Murphy that goes.
  14. So who are the best WRs and Pass Rushers left?
  15. Hopefully not even that, now that Dante Scarnecchia's retired for the 2nd or 3rd time.
  16. It took 19 years, but the dynasty is finally dead.
  17. I read this thread without checking the score, and thought NE was up 24 at the half.
  18. The analytical side of me says this is solid analysis from well informed football fans. The homer side of me says they're afraid, finally.
  19. Ahhh, the Bots have arrived! Got some chores to do this morning right up to game time. That'll keep my mind off of how nervous I am.about this game. I always liked Greg Roman, and I wish we could have kept him and Joe D'Alessandris up here and given them a chance to work together. Instead of letting Rex Ryan fart around and hire every flunky and second cousin he could find.
  20. My buddy is a big Giants fan, and he just about passed out laughing when I showed him the DL clowning Zeke's celebration.
  21. They definitely believe in "billboard material", no matter what they say going forward. ...and they got three straight days of NFL talking heads telling them to not bother getting off the bus at Jerry World.
  22. Romo is unmatched in the business. ESPNs crew should walk off a bridge.
  23. I've got a cold, convince me not to start drinking. This wait is a pain in the ass!
  24. Is that one of our female coaches or one of the Bills media people?
