  1. Waiting to see how long before Josh Allen is added to the QB position.  Also waiting to see the thread 'All Time Greatest Bills' Draft Busts', and how long before someone places him there...before, of course, the start of 2018 training camp.

    I'm an odd case.  I hate Brady and Belly (and now Gronk after the WWE flying elbow he dropped last season), but other then them, I don't hate the Pats.  If, for example, all three of them retired, my feelings toward the team would shift drastically.  As such, I hold no ill-will toward any other Boston team.

    With Grogan as QB, I cheered for the Patriots.

    eliminated?  let me guess your race.......

     I believe efforts at the national level genuinely attempted to eliminate the biases.  Yes, a naive view for a Caucasian kid from the north (Buffalo), far removed from the realities seen at the state and municipal levels, where the injustices still lingered in the southern U.S.  Again, what is disappointing is that society has backslid to a level of intolerance not seen in many years.

    You comparing being a white male to the South in the 60s?  I hope not because that would be one of the most ignorant things ever said on this board and that’s saying something.

    No, not at all, and I do apologize if it seems I said that.  It just seems strange and sad that what America rallied together to eliminate in the 60s has again crept back into the nation's psyche.  Whereas politicians of both parties worked towards the centre to try to improve the conditions for all Americans, today's lot seem only too eager to exploit their far left or far right views.

    Right.  I'm told what I can read, what I can wear, where I can shop, what I can and can't do, based on the color of my skin, and my lack of empathy is the problem.

    I'm hopeful the irony of that is not lost on anyone who grew up watching the American south in the 60s.

    Mayor for Life Marion will be wtaching over from above

    Are you sure about the direction?  (If it is 'below', Barry will be too busy shaking hands with other ex-politicians to have time to watch.)

    I'll tell you what's wrong: that mustache! 

     

    These things have slowly crept back into the culture, after having nicely died off for quite a long time.

     

     

    It seems too that extremist religious fundies of all faiths are the ones who allow / promote this.

  8. I might merely add for your consideration anything the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has to say. Only a slight elevation from Brando's portrayal of Vito Corleone.

     

    Actually, an interview of McKelvin and McConnell, conducted by Lauren Brill and Steve Harvey qualifies as some level of Hell, as envisioned by Dante in his 'Inferno'.

    I'm going to Pearl Jam at Fenway Park on Labor Day weekend.  Does that count as summer (calendar-wise it definitely does)?

    Depends on if it actually is before Labor Day, and if you wear white.
