    Religious people also seem to go out of their way to pat themselves on the back for their faith.  I've met too many crappy people that use their faith as an example of why they are not crappy people. I have met too many people of faith that hate people that are different than them.  This thread will get shut down but I want to be on the record before it does that in my experience I have met more awful people that say God comes first than almost any other group.

    Revisiting Beane's most subtly brilliant move as GM

    Still........ incredibly high rate of moves that the Bills "win" the trade. 

     

    I remember watching the draft last year (when we drafted Allen and Edmunds) and thinking to myself that Beane is just incredible. It was masterful. Everything was thought out multiple steps ahead.

    And all those 2018 draft day moves did not cost us any future picks. That is pretty amazing work.

     

    The Pegulas could sign McDermott and Beane to 10-year extensions and I would be happy. I never imagined the Bills having the "right" head coach. And GM.

     

    I go back to the Kay Stephenson days "well, we're not getting the job done..." so I (we) have been waiting a long time for this dynamic McBeane duo.

     

    Jets fans do not live in reality.

    Here's... a gem... from the Jets forum from a guy who... has to stop every few words... to collect himself...

     

    "Its bad... but the Oline despite 10 sacks... had one of its best games of the year..."

     

    Sweet merciful baby jeebus, what would he accept as a mediocre or bad game from the O-line?

    It's ... William ... Shatner ... !

     

    Who has played football professionally, or tried out at that level?

    I played "football" with friends as a teen. 

     

    My athletic career started and ended playing baseball for the St Andrews Mustangs (Town of Tonawanda), 2nd or 3rd string outfielder.

     

    In Army basic training, I went up against a high school athlete when we did the pugil sticks (giant Q-tips you beat each other with). My opponent had strength and balance. I got my butt kicked in short order.

     

    During the final physical testing session, they mis-counted and gave me an extra back-and-forth on the monkey bars. Because of that, I got the E-2 stripe, while my more athletic buddy did not. 

     

    Kudos to all you guys who coach kids or officiate games.

    It's simple--- " If it's not a Gibson, it's not a guitar"..

    Gibsons are great, but you will need to bring much more than $500.

    The best advice for any beginner is to bring an experienced player with you when you go to buy your guitar.  You simply will not be able to tell what is wrong or sub-optimal with a guitar you are trying.  You will also not even know if the guitars are in tune (which is going to greatly affect your impression of the quality of guitar's sound), or tuned to standard pitch (guitar stores often tune down cheap guitars to make them seem easier to play), or are easier or more difficult to play than the average guitar.  You probably will not be able to distinguish between the features of different guitars except on the most superficial level (bigger/smaller, louder/quieter, cutaway/no cutaway, etc.).  Get a friend to come along with you and let them know what your budget is.  Store salesmen will be somewhat helpful, but in the end they are more concerned with making sales than ensuring you've made the very best choice for you, and since you are likely buying an inexpensive guitar, they will not want to invest too much time in helping you make a choice.

    This is an excellent idea!

    Great advice. Don’t buy one sight unseen or without handling it. There are nuances in every guitar. I have fat fingers, so a narrower neck doesn’t work for me, where it may for slender fingers. Yes, the Action, or closer to the neck makes for easier playing. The faster you sound good to yourself, the more likely you’ll continue playing.

    This is good advice. I bought a guitar on Ebay, and the action was not good. i ended up selling it. So, definitely go to a music store or pawn shop, where there will be a lot to choose from. Pick it up, sit down and play with it, see how it feels.

     

    I like Takamine guitars, high quality for reasonable price. There are a lot of high quality cheap guitars these days.

     

    With a $500 range, there should be a good selection for you.

     

    Have fun!

    Troubling trend: The Jets have a loudmouth for a defensive coordinator -- Gregg Williams -- and he choked on his words after tweaking Odell Beckham Jr. the other day in a contentious news conference. "Odell, who?" Williams asked, revealing a smug smile. Beckham exacted revenge, ripping the Jets for 161 yards on six catches. That included an 89-yard touchdown in which the Jets played a soft zone behind a four-man rush.

     

    Williams actually did a decent job of confusing Baker Mayfield by mixing up his coverages, but he ended up with egg on his face because of the Beckham explosion. That's Williams in a nutshell: He's a smart defensive coach, but he can embarrass your franchise because of his mouth and reputation.

    Firestick NFL Games Option

    How could this discussion be verboten? We are trying to find ways to watch the Bills games!

     

    I have an IPTV provider called Prime Tyme TV. Their app is SoPlayer, and I can get 800 channels. They are not taking new subscribers now, but there are many other IPTV providers. If their app runs on Android, you can load it on a Firestick. 

     

    It's a whole new world.

    I just assumed you were "celebrating" TNF because the thread seems a bit..odd. My apologies if that assumption was incorrect. But I still don't get it.

    I was just wondering why he said I would regret my post. Now I understand. I saw the clip on TNF, of course.

    Funny that like 90% of the hits in that video are now illegal.

    How about that sack? It looks like The Stork wrapping his arms around the Dolphin QB's head and taking him down.
