i'm not all over the place at all. you just don't or can't answer my questions. you again are just assuming you know what the board thinks and believes. if that's you opinion, ok...but why do you feel it's ok to call someone a racist? you've done it countless times. instead of actually explaining yourself, you run away and hide. don't want to hear the term woke? stop acting the way you do. you are the exact person that personifies woke. ultimately you're just another run of the mill white guy who wants everyone to know how down he is. if you need that to be your thing...go nuts. no one gets more sensitive about race on this board than you.

so what? i agree with you that the majority of board is white, in that age group. what i don't agree with is that since that's the demographic, it's automatically like the "fox new" crowd. how do you know a good portion of those older, white posters lean towards the liberal? i don't. you don't, so why act so super woke about it. why strongly imply someone is racist if they don't like cam newton? hell, you even implied i was a racist once because i can't stand the rochester mayor, who happens to be black. you knew nothing of my reasoning or politics behind it. you just boiled it down to...he doesn't like her....she's black...he's obviously racist. you've done this to many posters here. i've never known a guy to play the race card so much. on minority leadership positions being a problem? it's an issue, but i don't know if i'd say a problem. it's a problem if minorities are being denied jobs because they're minorities, but like you mentioned, i think it's more of old networking. once you're in the coaching loop, you tend to float around in it. sometimes even when you're not proven worthy. as others have mentioned, winning is what matters in the nfl. if you were a coach, wouldn't you hire whoever you feels gives you the best chance at winning? i think most owners would. this i think is the bigger problem as well. you certainly see it in business. guys who were unsuccessful CEOs at one company seem to fall into other CEO positions time an time again. i'm not so sure that's based strictly on race.

i never go into the PPP area, so i'll trust you in that regard. there's no problem pointing out that it exist. it does. when it becomes a problem is when certain people on this board make broad assumptions of someone because of their likes or dislikes about a certain player...especially a black player. not everyone will dislike a black player because they are black.

I’m not sure who you guys are associating with, but maybe it’s time for a change. Does this level of racism exist? Of course, but if I thought 50% of the people I associate with lean towards being racist, I’d find another way to live. even if that was your feeling, do you think it’s ok to imply that everyone else is a racist? I mean...shouldn’t posters be able to say that they don’t like cam newton and not be called a racist? That’s reasonable...right? ive lived in wny the majority of my life, and although we all experienced racism, it never been to the level that some of you are making it out to be. I even come from an old school Italian family, and I can honesty say that race was never brought up.

It exists everywhere, but what I think you and super woke are doing is letting a vocal few paint a picture of a general group. I’m just not into someone implying a poster is a racist, then running away with their tails between their legs with no explanation, (not you dr).

Could you explain what certain philosophy you’re referring to that you think exists in this board? It seems to me like you’re just stereotyping everyone on no real basis.

I’m not going to read through the entire thread, but I think it’s safe to say it was implied that at least one poster is racist. Am I off here?

I don’t think he’ll be top 10 yet, but I expect him to be in the 10-15 range. Also, if he’s not a 10 ten guy this year, that doesn’t me he won’t or can’t be the following year. Josh May just have a slower learning curve, but there’s has to be significant improvement each year. No more hoping.

I’m just happy you stopped using Gase and mcd’s records as a way of comparing their ability to coach. That’s ***** was stupid.

He doesn’t understand.

It will be nice to not watch soccer again.

It’s 1000% lazy. That’s why there tends to be only two posters who do it on the regular. Oddly enough, they were the same two posters who consistently repeated the records of mcd and Gase to try and draw some comparison in the type of coaches they were. Completely lazy.

why not just let posters have their own, valid opinions about players that were once on the bills and are now on another team?

hey big guy...we've seen you upset a number of times on here. we could ask you the same question.

this thread got sassy!

Agreed. If it’s still consider unsafe to go to a game, jut don’t have them. I’m not a fan of the water down version of a regular season game. That’s not an alcohol specific comment either. I don’t go to many games a year, so when I do I splurge. It just may not be worth it to go. We’ll see. I’m hopeful. No doubt. I get equally as excited to see the group I go with as much as I do seeing a good game. With families and work, it’s one of the few times a year some of us motivate to get together.

I’m right there with ya. When we could, my wife would go out to a nice restaurant for date night and try a new drink. Do we need to have a drink at dinner? No, but it’s part of the fun for us. Same for a sporting event, family party, etc. no one has to get out of control, but I enjoy the right to have a drink. Not being able to have a beer at a football game would be a bummer.

There’s something to be said for this.

Just watch the hands. We don’t need another Russ Brandon situation in our lives.

Well, the conversations at thanksgiving should be a bit more colorful.

Oh my god.

I’d rather have sex with them, but we all have our thing.

agreed. i don't think i'd even bother to own a grill if i couldn't enjoy it with alcohol.

Morning guys!
