Someone needs to address the Jerry Hughes blackball issue.
UConn James replied to LABILLBACKER's topic in The Stadium Wall
You think those shows want to piss off the NFL? Rocking the boat too much can only be bad for the golden goose that is their ad revenue for blowing hot air about a game. -
Someone needs to address the Jerry Hughes blackball issue.
UConn James replied to LABILLBACKER's topic in The Stadium Wall
The refs and refs union HATE Jerry with a passion. Getting that red suspended for calling him a b-word on-field and the altercation in the tunnel is always going to color how he is seen. They ignore when he gets absolutely mauled, like the almost-sack of Tua early, and they had been quick to toss yellow on him… although less so this year. I’ve been advocating to move on from Jerry for a couple of seasons now. What he brings is just not worth what he costs in terms of ref-hate. He’s doubtful to be re-signed after this season, given Beane’s draft investment in DE/DL. -
Well, the kids will have to learn about it sometime

Man, I’m not usually one to go for these short vids, but it got me a bit 🥺. If anyone more savvy than I can embed this, that’d be cool. Putting the link below to the SportsCenter Instagram. Per the word, Tyrell’s best friend had been serving overseas for the past four years and the walk-out in KC a couple weeks ago where the friend was in the stands was the first time they’ve seen each other since college, I’m gathering(?). https://www.instagram.com/reel/CU-HW1flCiY/?utm_medium=copy_link

Although I don’t visit or post on here as often as I once did, it’s been quite awhile since I’ve seen anything from him. He always seemed like a good egg. I carry on his use of ‘Merry Natal Anniversary!’ as an alternatively worded birthday wish.

"On the Autistic Spectrum" Aspergers Discussion Testimonial Thread
UConn James replied to muppy's topic in Off the Wall
I was diagnosed in 2015 at age 35 after suspecting it for some time. -
10/10/21 Gameday Lightning Strike Delay thread
UConn James replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
If Eric Moulds’ toe was out of bounds so many years ago, then that one right before the half was out too. BS that they overturned it when the pixel blur was that bad. That was not conclusive at all. -
Notable Nexflix / Amazon / Premium Channel Series & Movies
UConn James replied to Heitz's topic in Off the Wall
Just started watching “Only Murders in the Building” over the weekend. On episode 5 and really enjoying it. Same re: Selena Gomez but liking the character depth & her comedic delivery and the mix of boomer & sardonic-millennial interplay. Has a lot of artistry that might be rewarded come awards time. Yeah, Steve Martin kinda dropped off the acting & comedy map for quite awhile in pursuit of his banjo stuff. Don’t know the backstory there. Similar to Chevy Chase wrt depression? Nice to see a return and hoping🤞🏼for more. -
What was up with Beasley today?
UConn James replied to JerseyBills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Twitter is where people go to believe that their opinion / life actually means something in the grand scheme of things. Delusions of grandeur. -
What was up with Beasley today?
UConn James replied to JerseyBills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That describes about 85 percent of the population of the world now. Everyone’s angry about this or that and it’s always someone else’s fault. 🤷🏻♂️ Then again, we’re on a message board where discussion of COVID gets deleted / locked / you on time-out. And I’m not criticizing the board rules, just saying. Would that TBD policy extended to the stadium and people could just enjoy the blasted game. -
RIP, Cindy #89. 🥺 Remember back since the early versions of TBD, she was one of the posters who made it the community it was and now is.

While we don’t exactly know what caused the “technical difficulties” / broadcast failure today (to go with a number of such failures in recent years — Mylar balloon anyone?) is it safe to say that aged infrastructure probably has something to do with it? You just don’t see this stuff happening anywhere else with such frequency. The other point today is making is that these kind of games suck for the fans and don’t help the team in a league that is more and more built for the pass. And it reduces the risks of slips as may have contributed to Milano’s hamstring injury. The Buffalo weather takes a beating on structures , if you haven’t seen the condition of even the 8-year-old refurbishments; EIGHT YEAR OLD concrete is literally eroding and they don’t want any part of protecting new construction from the elements? Having a retractable roof on a new stadium isn’t a completely obscene expenditure. It’s pouring 🌧 there almost all game. And the beauty of retractable is that it doesn’t necessarily have to be closed for weather games. I just fail to see how this is a contentious issue.

Rams and Colts won a SB in a domed home stadium. For the life of me, I don’t know what’s wrong with going with a retractable roof and having the option to control the elements or to leave it open. Lucas Oil Stadium is retractable, was built for a song comparatively in the NFL, and by every account has beautiful sight lines and is a popular stadium (NFL Draft has been there for a long time).

9/26/21 Gameday Bills vs. WFT 1st Half Thread
UConn James replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It bounced off a white helmet. -
The difference is materials and labor costs — 100% union will be mandated in anything NYS puts a dime into, and companies will / have to bid higher to cover the far higher taxes. You’re expecting them to just eat the tax differences? Everything is at a premium in NYS and the northeast. Not to mention that there’s always a certain level of graft / kickbacks factored into big projects like this in the area. That’s just the reality.

Seems like that will be coming next season, when they announced the one-shell rule will end after this year.

Anybody know the Bills Uniform combination this week?

White socks, again. Not a fan of this trend. -
Josh Allen Mocks Coach McDermott in Fisher Price Commercial
UConn James replied to Gugny's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If the kid wants to be Josh, he’s gotta swing his arms before a pass play 95% of the time. And then on every run, no arm swings. Has anybody mentioned this tell? -
The Washington game in week 3 for sure is gonna be tough. If Rivera doesn’t stay with Heinicke…. This kid showed a lot in the wild card vs Tampa last season and has looked just as good tonight.
