Put Jets fans out of their misery

Bass will be fine, but hate to see a veteran come to the end of the line. Never really recovered from the cheap shot by Anderson. Hope Hauschka has a great post football life.

RIP Joe Morgan. The 75 series is still one of most amazing sporting events I’ve ever watched.

I guess I get to see Lacy instead of Phillips

Yep, don't like Milano out. But I am interested in what this Phillips kid might bring if he gets in.

I want to see what Phillips does.

Remember back when Bell signed with them how many folks thought the sky was falling and they'd kill us every game?

I think they figured on a personnel grouping in the second half of the Raider's game. They had Jefferson and Oliver on the field at the same time, and neither is really a "1" type DT. They started pairing Phillips and Oliver, and Jefferson and Butler, and they did a lot better.

We’ll get a look at Phillips. He made the roster for a reason.

Fine. He’ll serve his term.

Looks like he will be president and he will carry out the duties of the office. He was just in Erie campaigning. He is showing leadership by wearing masks and distancing and not have potential spreader events. And when your opponent is self-immolating you let him do so.

Four years. Your wishful thinking does not mean reality.

Gruden is going to get suspended if he doesn’t put his mask on

If I am the Bills physicians there is no way I advise the Bills to walk into the Titans stadium on Tuesday. No idea how many Titans are infected plus you have to question their protocols for disinfection and such.

Tennessee should have to forfeit. You can’t mess up the entire league because one team refused to follow protocols.

I agree. I would leave the court as is. Roberts is sensitive about his legacy.

I agree the country would function best with a two party system where there was actual dialog and debate and compromise. But that is not happening, which is why I believe the only way back to a functional government is a third party that takes over. As for packing the court, if I were Biden I’d say the following: The Republicans justified not placing Garland and now rushing to seat Barrett because they claim the voters mandated it by voting for Republican Senate. If this election votes in a Democratic Senate as well as a Democratic President as well as maintain a Democratic House, it would seem clear the people are saying they want a change to the judicial branch. How that would look will have to be seriously considered

The 80’s teams never truly got over the hump. But to compare they would need better front 7 on D and for Singleton to emerge as a star

I value freedoms as well. In the immediate emergency steps had to be taken to cut the curve so hospitals were not overwhelmed. I work for a health care network and get that. At this point most if not all states are asking citizens to use mitigating strategies which include distancing in order to eliminate the virus as much as possible until vaccines. I think California could open Disneyland with similar precautions as in Florida. Mandated masks, distancing and such. I think they should have certain numbers of fans at Bills games with appropriate precautions. But unfortunately all these rely on people working together to help, and it is blatantly obvious that is not happening. Give you a great example or two. Today I stopped at the rest area on the interstate to use the rest room. Signs all over the entrance: Do Not Enter Without A Mask. I use the rest room, am at the sink washing my hands, a big fat guy walks right past me: no mask. I walk out and the custodian: no mask. Felt less clean walking out than I did walking in. Town where I live, a new bar opened a month or so ago. Attracted people interested in checking out the new place. Pictures all over social media: people shoulder to shoulder, no masks. And here’s the killer: the Mayor was one of them. So freedoms are great. But not wearing a mask in the middle of a pandemic is just not a freedom guaranteed under the Constitution. I may come around more if reasonable discussion is held. I have found it is a haven for the alt right and I’m not interested in feeding that crowd.

I am not saying some places and businesses have not been affected mind you. One of my daughters is a professional performer and that business has essentially been destroyed for now. Same with some bars and restaurants. But as for guaranteed rights I just haven’t see a complete effect. We’ve all had to adapt, and if we all pulled together on mitigating actions we’d all be a whole lot farther along against this virus.

I go to mine every week. Less people, more services, Zoom meetings, we’re making it work. Masks and distancing.

Then why did you mix them up?

That is your issue. I go to church every week, the grocery store, work. I just wear a mask, wash my hands a lot, and distance. You’re complaining about inalienable rights being taken away when they’re not. The phrase inalienable rights is from the Declaration of Independence by the way. Right to peaceful assembly is the Constitution.

Where are you not allowed to assemble?

You have the right to peacefully assemble. In emergency crises governors have executive powers to act in the general welfare of their states. Pandemic, hurricanes, and so on. You’re pretending the exception is the rule.
