Logic

Yes.

As egregious as the Bieber love is, I'll give him a pass because he says he only listens to Elvis before games. How can you not love a QB who only listens to Elvis before games?!

19 hours and five pages of discussion later, I'm still waiting for Zero to show up and "talk ball", since that was clearly his objective with this barn burner of a thread he started. ?

I mean the count of folks that aren't too fond of Zero to those who are is at like 25-1 at this point. It doesn't mean the 1 is definitely wrong and the 25 are definitely right, but there's a darn good chance that's the case.

No one is saying that he doesn't EVER sometimes carry on reasonable discussions. It's just that the amount of good conversations or contributions he has is massively dwarfed by the frequency of posts that push his primary purpose for being here: To gloat that the Chiefs won the trade two years ago, and then to wield the fact that his team has a great quarterback to act as evidence that his opinion that the Bills probably DON'T have a good quarterback is worth a darn. It's not a secret that this is/was his purpose for coming here and remaining here, by the way. He has directly stated in a conversation with me on these forums that he originally basically came here to gloat and has done his fare share of trolling and gloating since coming here. Again, take this thread: He posted it, and then split. Hasn't replied since. Like dropping a stink bomb in a room and leaving. Classic troll behavior. I'm just curious: why do you suppose it is that so many people in this thread feel the same way about the guy? You don't think there's any merit to these feelings at all? We're ALL just overly sensitive?

This. For every positive or reasonable thing Zero says, it's paired with a far higher amount of posts and comments whose gist is "haha we got Mahomes and he's better than your crappy QB!" Enough already. You're not the brightest knife on the tree, are ya?

....Yes, Scott, I am aware.

I can't seem to find many threads he's ever started that had a goal of quality football conversation. His posts more often than not seem to be of either the "Josh Allen isn't very good and I'm gonna keep finding new ways to talk about it" or "har har, the Chiefs won the Mahomes trade with the Bills!" variety. Take this thread, for instance. Why does it exist? What is its purpose?

Excited for the new Tarantino movie. Surprised Brad Pitt and Leo DiCaprio haven't worked together more over the years. And it's the first time Al Pacino has worked with Tarantino, so that'll be interesting. Planning to see it at the world's greatest movie theater (The Hollywood Theater in Portland) on opening night.

Saw this article on Profootballtalk yesterday and one tidbit jumped out. Thought it was pretty interesting. I can't help but wonder if this streak will finally end this season, or if, through some strange turn of events, the streak will continue. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/07/07/frank-gore-not-approaching-2019-as-final-season/ Frank Gore not approaching 2019 as final season Posted by Josh Alper on July 7, 2019, 11:47 AM EDT ....Gore led the Dolphins in rushing last year and has been his team’s leading rusher in every season that he’s played a game. Should that streak continue in 2019, it’s probably a good bet that someone will give him a chance to continue the run in 2020.

I wonder how other teams' fans would've felt about Patrick Mahomes after HIS rookie season? I get that the Chiefs board isn't as cool as Two Bills Drive, but if Zero insists on hanging around here, I'm not sure why the only he ever seems to "contribute" is with inflammatory comments, smack talk about Josh Allen, or other generally non-productive garbage. I mean...he DID show us pictures of his wife one time, so I guess that was...pretty cool? Other than that, he just seems to post a whole lot of rubbish that borders on trolling.

Wife works for a company that produces CBD body care products. Lotions, balms, salves, the whole deal. Pretty big, nationally distributed company. Soon to be available in Wegman's even. Anyway...I have found that WELL MADE CBD products (and that's the key, because there's a whole lot of crap out there on the market) have several extremely helpful properties. The principal things I have noticed are anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Putting some of the lotion on a sore shoulder or elbow really helps with both pain and inflammation. Additionally, I have found that consuming CBD in edible or tincture form is a great reliever of pain from headaches and toothaches. There are scores and scores of uses for CBD. It's quite the wonder substance. And, as mentioned by others in this thread, it won't get you "high". That being said, CBD works optimally in the human body when paired with at least a LITTLE THC (the psychoactive component in cannabis), which aids the effectiveness of the human body's endocannabinoid receptors in processing the CBD. Here's an interesting article about the scientific particulars of CBD and the human endocannabinoid system, if anyone is interested. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5938896/

I live in Portland, OR. About once every 4-6 months we get an article about how we're overdue for "the big one". The Cascadia subduction zone is the source of the worry. An 8.0 or 9.0 earthquake on the way. Apparently, the infrastructure of Portland is NOT prepared to handle it, and they predict most of the city's buildings and bridges will be destroyed. They claim the whole CITY will essentially be destroyed. I worried about it for a week or so when I first heard, but then it dawned on me: Much of the country deals with hurricanes, tornadoes, or deadly blizzards every single year. I can't spend much time worrying about something that MIGHT happen some day. Side note, this thread has reminded me of a great old Rodney Crowell tune (later covered by the Grateful dead after the quake of '89) called California Earthquake:

The slow trickle of articles in the "down time" between the draft and training camps is a real thing at The Athletic. Once training camp starts, there are daily articles. Once the season starts, then it's REALLY worth the price. Admittedly, though, there's not much new content on there between May 1st and July 27th.

Sometimes, grocery stores or restaurants forget to charge me for certain items, and I rarely bring it to their attention. I'm just saying....humans are complex beings.

To put the Dolphins in there over not only the Bills, but Jets as well, is silly. Even if he's not a Josh Allen fan, one would think that the Jets with Darnold (who showed great promise) and Le'Veon Bell on offense and CJ Mosley, Quinnen Williams, and Jamal Adams leading the defense ought to be in well ahead of the Dolphins. The Dolphins?! I mean...WHAT?! The argument could be made that they're literally the furthest from entering a "Super Bowl window" of any team in the league.

They should really sell the end zone squares for cheaper. They're only lightly used.

The only way I see this happening is if Yeldon proves to be more capable at special teams than Sinorise Perry. I would say that's pretty unlikely, as Perry is known as one of the better special teams contributors from the HB position in the entire league. Thus far, in both his first and second season as head coach, McDermott has kept a 4th HB almost solely for special teams purposes. This is going to happen at WR, too. The top 4 sports are locked in with Brown, Foster, Jones, and Beasley. Roberts is also a lock, as he will be the primary KR. That leaves likely only ONE WR spot available at most. McKenzie, McCloud, Williams, Sills, Easley, and Phillips will have to battle for that one spot. If the Bills keep only FIVE WRs, well...there really aren't any spots available on the 53-man roster. McDermott loves him some special teams.

If anyone isn't/wasn't already familiar with Cian Fahey's legendary Twitter hot takes, you owe it to yourself to comb back through his post history. This is just the tip of the iceberg for this guy. He's an all time great hot takes MACHINE!

Thanks for the recommendation. I've actually been enjoying this NJPW stuff so much that I've become a bit obsessed. I've been reading all about the history of the company (some of which I knew, much of which I did not), watching documentaries, basically learning everything I can about the organization and its wrestlers. So far, I absolutely love it. Aside from having the best actual WRESTLING on the planet, it logically addresses just about ALL of the problems I have with modern WWE (giving meaning to the title belts, the various tournaments that set up feuds and storylines throughout the year, countouts resulting in title changes, etc, etc). It's just awesome. As a matter of fact, I'm enjoying it so much that I plan to cancel my WWE Network membership on July 1st and subscribe to NJPWWorld instead. Can't wait to watch as much as I can of this year's G1 Climax, not to mention the scads of historical stuff I want to watch (Pegasus Kid vs Great Sasuke, Liger vs Muta, Dynamite Kid vs Tiger Mask, all Okada vs Tanahashi matches, etc). I haven't felt this excited about wrestling (at least modern, non-nostalgia-tinted wrestling) in 20 years. It's nuts.

As has been stated before: The red paint fades too fast into a pinkish color. For that reason, and also because blue is clearly the primary color with which the Bills want to identify, I don't see the red end zones coming back any time soon. With any luck, the NFL will change the dumb "only one color helmet allowed" rule, and we'll get 90s throwbacks some day. End zones, though? It ain't happenin'.

Indeed. It's like these analysts forget over and over and over again that the salary cap is constantly rising and that players aren't the highest paid at their position for very long. Within two seasons, Morse won't even be in the top 3. Oh, and if the Bills are going to "overpay" for something, let it be someone who will directly impact the success of the quarterback to the degree that Morse will. If it helps Allen turn into a bona fide franchise QB, then it's money extremely well spent.

Aaaaaaannnnddd..... We've reached peak offseason at Two Bills Drive.

Riiiiiight. I mean it's not like the greatest coach in the history of football was the defensive coordinator for the opposition and drew up a defensive gameplan so great that it's in the Pro Football Hall of Fame or anything. Any coach worth his salt could've beaten Parcells/Belichick that day! And while we're at it, it's not like Levy had the Bills in position to win the game on a 47-yard field goal or anything. I'm all for listening to a reasonable "Marv was to blame" argument...but "any coach worth his salt" could've won? Really?!

Ugh. That sucks. Hope he recovers quickly and well. Unrelated to the injury, I'm super glad the Bills didn't draft him.
