I’m sickened by this. This is horrifying, there aren’t words.

When the schedule comes out tonight watch it be Jets at Bills or Bills at Jets week one 1:00 start
In the Bills history they opened against the Jets more than any other opponent. Even the Dolphins and Pats weren't close to the Jets as far as opening against the Bills goes.
I would love to open against the Jets. Pour some cold water over their newly found fan hype after the draft.

That's pretty much all of the city of Buffalo. You can leave a million dollar home walk 200 feet and be in middle of a poor neighborhood or projects. It's crazy how fast the neighborhoods change.
Exactly why I’m trying to get out of the city. -
I’m having trouble getting excited for this. I blame the awful final season of GOT.

Exactly why this is a stupid can of worms to
open. There isn’t support. I also hate that we’ll energize the voting public on the state and federal level to campaign on, once again, a subject people don’t care about.
The highest court is just an extension of left right bull#### at this point. I only see political motivations for this. I also find it funny that for years we had to hear about Donald Trump the expert negotiator, who literally promised to nominate judges who would overturn Roe, and act like he didn’t use his leverage. He held the key to the pinnacle of these judges careers and you think he didn’t have a little quid pro quo? Not worth the turmoil and distraction from real issues. Abortions will continue at the same clip.

I saw this live and had a really tough time. We lost our first dog Sasha about a year and a half ago and I don’t think I’ll ever get over it.

Geeez....there are trigger bills are both sides of the issue, depending on what State you live in! Many, if not all, of those bills will almost surely be looked at again. Some will survive and some will not. You are clearly on side of access to abortion services. I'm not going to take that away from you. Make your case in whichever State you live in....or move. It's the American process.
My gripe is that we will have an election cycle dominated over something that a small minority care about, which will be blown out of proportion by the media further dividing.But you obviously are one of those minority opinions that care deeply about abortion from a moral high ground perspective. In my circles if you are a minority opinion you follow and accept it, but we’ve had people crying about this for 50 years. Arrogance at it’s finest.

Geeeez....let me catch you up here. The Supreme Court would not be banning abortion. That's not their job. If the leaked opinion is true and correct it's an example of the Court understanding their role in American system of government and correcting their previous mistake. You may not like it but I think we should leave it up to the Court to decide what they want to spend their time on.
Geez your reading comprehension is suspect. If the trigger bills are already in place, which they are, everyone is aware of the stakes.

It’s this viewpoint that is out of touch with ordinary Americans. 60%+ do not support abortion bans. Most normal people accept it with restrictions. We can go down rabbit hole all day on a number of issues relative to states rights, but this would in fact effectively ban abortion in a number of states. Something only a small minority cares about.Instead we could talk more about (and actually campaign on) how life is completely unaffordable for most normal people. But no, we’ll now have to have an election cycle dominated by this conversation, something few care about. Furthermore even if this is truly the decision and abortions get banned in several states….people will still get abortions and the impact will be next to nothing.
So yes, I reiterate I don’t see how anyone but an ideologue could see this as a valuable use of SCOTUS time. A pragmatic court, I believe, would see that. A political shill court would obviously pay their toll.
If you are truly pro life in an intense way I respect and even agree with your opinion. I viewed my son as a little guy the minute we found out, but people have different experiences all over, respect that as well and we’d be a better country.

Pretty surprising the guy even got on stage considering how big of an act Chappelle is. Has to be scary today for comics playing smaller intimate venues.

Friend sent me this. Seems he took some punishment.

There is low relative support for abortion bans in the country period. Within younger generational demographics even less. The fact this is a priority, a 50 year old ruling, is something anyone should be frustrated about. Now we’ll banter about this and distract from real issues.Every time this comes up it’s typically being used politically. That’s what saddens me about SCOTUS picking this back up. I don’t see the net benefit. My mind wanders to cynical places trying to figure out the motivations.

“God forbid”….exactly. I’m not trying to pick a fight here. I’m really not. You’re welcome to your deeply seated belief system.
My opinions evolve on basically everything. To me it’s the people still fighting a 50 year old ruling that needs to examine their deeply seated belief system.

“Medical Care” …want to show your cards here a bit more? The entire board can’t see them unless you lift them up over your head, really, really high. 😉
Is an abortion not medical care? My body my choice with vaccines but god forbid I want to choose to not move forward with a pregnancy.

Ugh…but you do not know how deliberations have gone, or are still going. But to be clear…you’re concerned that a Justice didn’t want to be totally forthcoming about their private opinion on how they’re leaning on a clearly divisive societal issue, but have no problem with the latest one who doesn’t want to tell you what a woman is…when she OBVIOUSLY knows? Is that right?
I have a problem with that too. All symptoms of a larger problem. If this ultimately is the decision will just deepen the divide.

Yup and it's a beautiful system. You don't like your tax code here in CA? Great! Move to someplace that has a tax code you like.
So easy for a pregnant teenager to move states for medical care. Very realistic.

With all due respect…You don’t know whether any of that is true. There’s been no ruling on anything.That’s why a leak like this is so incredibly damaging.
Yes of course, but Roberts confirmed the authenticity so it would certainly be the betting favorite at the moment.

I have no idea what you're getting at on this anymore. I've done.
Yes.....you are wrong.
What I’m getting at is the growing politicization of the supreme court.
This is hardly an issue that has enough support to make it a priority, yet it is being made a priority. The recent appointees of the former president did not give respectful noncommittal answers befitting judges during their confirmation hearings. They claimed Roe was settled law, but now are flipping on those statements. I don’t find it coincidental considering that the man who nominated them was very vocal about Roe being overturned.
Now you’ll have more on the left pushing to pack courts themselves and we’ll continue to get further and further from approaching issues from an honest footing. Sad.

They should. That’s the entire point of being a judge. They really aren’t supposed to look at things in the hypothetical. It’s a nuance that’s been created by the bad behavior of Congress, not by the judges.
Once again…they did not answer this way. Why not?
Why pick this old issue up again anyway with less than 30% support nationally? Nothing more important?

Just now, SoCal Deek said:
I think your concern is misplaced. The Justices should really not be asked about how they might rule on FUTURE cases during their confirmation. I’m always happy when they tell congress that they’re not going to go down that path… whether Left or Right leaning.
But they didn’t answer that way… -
Very saddened by a lot of this.
First and foremost disgusted that this was leaked. Further disgusted that the supreme court is full of shills that will say one thing during confirmation hearings and completely depart from that. I would expect that sort of behavior from your typical elected official not the highest court. It should freak out any thinking individual that SCOTUS has become as politicized as it has.
Even taking this issue back up….why?

Why did McDermott ship out Dareus and Watkins? Sometimes you have to get rid of the negative energy in the room before you can move forward. I think the difference with certain players pre- and post-Eichel speaks volumes.
I remember arguing this for several years with fans who still wanted to run it back with “the core” of Eichel, Reinhart, Risto and roster tweeks. I have never been a professional athlete, but I have worked in business long enough to know how critical attitude and culture is to any effective team. If your super star performer has a poor attitude and infects those around him, THEY ARE NOT WORTH IT. I have found this to be true in business/life, and there is no reason to think pro sports is different.Changing culture involves changing people. Sometimes it’s clear and obvious and sometimes there are some collateral loses (Reinhart).
On this board we already have a perfect example with what McBeane has done with our favorite team.
