    If the Bills plan on being a "run heavy" team going forward, I'm moving to Australia and following rugby instead. 

    It's two-thousand-twenty-four and the Buffalo Bills employ Joshua Patrick Allen at quarterback. RUN HEAVY?!

    At the same time, the Bills seem to do better the less they have Josh Allen do.

    One way to accomplish that is using heavier formations with bigger receivers and a better run/pass balance.

    Half the time Simms and Esiason just took shots at each other. Now they can go argue in Hardee's every Friday morning for breakfast if they want to continue the tradition. 


    If they did a football podcast that's all it would consist of.  

    And sadly, it'd probably get views... maybe even a Hardee's sponsorship 😅

    That is the surprise of the draft for me, he has not moved up once. I'm guessing the cap issues have forced them to be more willing to let day three rookies fill out the bottom of the roster. Not a bad thing IMO. Getting younger and cheaper at the bottom of the roster allows for more talent at the top of the roster.


    Beane doesn't make these trades and acquire extra draft capital for future years if he thinks his job security is in question, since that's just helping the next GM.

    That's the benefit of not worrying about your future I suppose.  You don't have to make risky moves to win now, and can make smart moves to win later.

    Do you use hurricane straps when there is a storm?  My math is 5'11 and 150 lbs. Woah. 


    That's correct.  

    And the last time I went to the doctor they said I was borderline obese (granted, I was 10lb heavier 6 months ago, but still...).  

    Anyway... point is that he's gotta have some serious muscle density, which is a great plus for a RB.  Looking forward to seeing Davis on the field.

  5. In 4th grade, they split up my class of 160ish into teams of 8 and had us do different events.  Teams were random, including the role of team leader.  

    As "leader" of my team, I slotted myself in for the Vortex Throw--specifically because I remember thinking that it "sounded cool".  Meanwhile, I assigned the best thrower on our team to trivia or something stupid that probably should've gone to me.  

    So, vortex throw comes up. Every other team puts their best athlete forward, and our team is last.  I'm up and I heave it with all I got into the sun.  Raucous laughter ensues; a quick look over my shoulder reveals most of my teachers laughing as well.  The gym teacher felt so bad that he gave our team another attempt (much to the consternation of the other teams).  Instead of using that golden opportunity to let someone else throw, I decided to attempt to redeem myself, but the next throw was even worse.  

    I initially voted 1-5 pass, but then I recalled this moment and changed my vote to zero like the scum I am. 

    GO BILLS!

    More like Dems gleefully pointing out that Trump fell asleep for the first time in public that probably anyone has seen, when Biden is worse...is hypocrisy.


    I don't see that as hypocrisy when it's preceded by the hypocrisy of calling someone out for something, then doing it themselves.  

    I see that as splitting hairs in an attempt to save face.

    I was being sarcastic when I said that he was worried. 


    I'm aware lol, as I hope you're aware of my own sarcasm in my responses.  Trump takes a nap after coining Sleepy Joe, so the natural defensive response is "oh yeah?! well... Biden takes more naps so 😛." 

    Our politics have become so incredibly childish when you think about it.  They are old and running for the most demanding office in the world.  Of course they are going to nod off.

    Of all the things that worry me about a Trump or a Biden presidency, napping frequently simply doesn't make the list.  Why it scares the daylights out of Republicans in Biden's case is beyond me.

    You must have skipped 3rd grade math before you dropped out of grade school.  I know it will be difficult but try to stay with me here.

     

    1. The people of the United States loaned the money to the students.
    2. Thanks to Demented Biden, without any legislation, the students no longer need to pay back the people of the United States
    3. As a result, the people of the United States get *****.  


    If you look again closely, you'll notice I already said this in much less dramatic terms.

    Oh the irony.


    I had the same thought at first lol.

    Tbf though, if there's anyone I blame above all others, it's the ultra-wealthy elites.  While they have always had influence on the president, this influence is not absolute.  Each president is influenced to varying degrees.

    And I definitely see Trump as more of a tool for the ultra-wealthy elites than Biden is.

  10. I'm reading a lot of bizarre and/or inaccurate statements.

    Debt can absolutely be cancelled, discharged, forgiven, etc. without the world ending.  The IRS wouldn't consider cancellation-of-debt (COD) as a form of gross income if cancelling debt wasn't real.  Sometimes loans are defaulted on and can never be repaid.  Lenders are intimately aware of this and are very good at calculating risk for every transaction, which is why we have things like credit scores.  Small loans between my friends and I have been forgiven at various times, so I assure you that it's a real thing.  

    I assume the reason for saying loan forgiveness doesn't exist is to point out that this isn't just waving a magic wand with zero costs.  It increases the future deficit by reducing receipts that were otherwise expected.  But remember, the IRS will count this as gross income, so the very people who receive it will automatically be paying a portion of it back in their income taxes.  

    I also question if folks realize that these recipients aren't jobless mooches if they have been paying their loans back for 10+ years.  Plus, it'll be good for the whole economy when those people have $500-1000 more every month to spend or invest.  That relief might finally allow someone to be able to afford their first mortgage.  I mean, it's gotta be better if that money is staying in the private sector instead of going to da gubment, right?

    And of course it's for political points.  It's an election year, and Biden's a politician.  Like... duh?  Have you been to Earth before or is this your first visit?  It's so obvious that it isn't even worth stating.

    Maybe not never but easily the best since Eric Moulds 


    I basically remember him as a do-it-all #1 receiver.  

    I only got into the nitty-gritty of football towards the end of his career, so I don't really remember the finer details of his game, but what were his biggest weaknesses? (other than his QBs lol)
