    Best Summer Movies of all-time?

    in Off the Wall

    Die Hard With A Vengeance.  It's easily my favorite one in the series.

     

    In the opening shot there's a business that has a Back To School Sale sign on it.  Plus Summer In The City is the opening song.

     

     

    The banter between McClane and Samuel Jackson in that movie is top notch 

    It's weird because most people I talk to say the same thing. It's my 2nd favorite in the series. To me the first Die Hard movie just overtakes all of them. It might be the best action movie of all time to me. Next to Lethal Weapon 2

    As good a team as any of the 90-93 teams but only dumb losses to Tampa Bay and Indy down the stretch kept us from home field throughout...and I remain convinced that an AFC championship at Rich would have gone the Bills way, and then who knows????

     

    Ah, the "what ifs."  The beauty, and agony, of sport.

     

    Also, I remember getting tickets for this game at my local Marine Midland bank in Rochester.  Other than the Bills ticket office, I think this was the only other ticket distributor.  Does that sound familiar or is my feeble mind playing tricks again...which is the probable answer.

    Which means it would have been Bills vs 49ers in SB 23. How that was never a SB considering how good both teams were back then is beyond me

    There are two issues here:

     

    -Jim Kelly being an arrogant prick, misbehaving (partying and womanizing, then after his marriage cheating on his wife) -

    These are well-documented.  Teammates have talked about it, among them Steve Tasker; Jim and his wife have talked about it.    Over time, Jim reportedly learned to be a better teammate, and eventually learned to be a better husband and Christian.

     

    -Jim Kelly committing domestic violence.  If there is proof or evidence, it would be considered Buffalo Bills and football relevant to start a new thread about this. 

     

    Stated as it was by  "I'm sure he abused his wife back in the day. I could be wrong" and having a guy with 388 posts in 15 years on the board :rolleyes: "pop up" to "confirm" will be considered disruptive trolling on an existing football thread comparing Kelly football highlights to Allen football highlights.

     

    That Is All.

    He was a prick to fans out in public as well. A number of accounts from people I have talked to over the years have said this that met him or were around him and I'm called a troll? I brought it up because someone said he was always a class act. I was just clarifying early in his playing days he was not. It's annoying to have stuff that people disagree with getting deleted on this board

    Yeah.  If you were around Buffalo during his playing days, especially the earlier years, Jim didn't have the best reputation off the field, the stories are out there. He was like a high-school kid, in the body of a 25 year old, making a ***** ton of money for his time.  The NFL's first million dollar QB!  He was, without a doubt, the best QB in Bills history (pre-Allen, perhaps), he played hard, and lived hard.  But somewhere along the way, he grew up, and became a good man. But that is part of what makes him so meaningful to us all now.  I don't think he would deny any of that now.  

     

    This is what I'm trying to say but my comments get deleted. It's ridiculous

    Thanks OP; I couldn’t be happier that both of these men have lined up under center for the Buffalo Bills and that Josh is well on his way to being the best of the best. Also good guys off the field, which ultimately matters more too! 
    FWIW, my fav Kelly game below:

     

    I've actually heard Kelly was a d*ck off the field back when he was playing and actually rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. 

     

    Josh on the other hand does seem like an all around good guy on and off the field

    How old are you, and what is your profession?

     

    The NFL is a business.  Yes, the players are playing a game, but at the end of the day, their NFL contracts are how they feed, not just themselves and their kids and wives or girlfriends, but often parents - maybe 2 sets of parents - and siblngs.    Sometimes the relatives develop businesses under the player's guidance managing his endorsements or merchandise deals or investments (sometimes that's a bad idea for the player, but again, another issue). 

     

    Take Isaiah McKenzie, a young guy at the bottom end of the NFL wage scale.  He just opened a BBQ restaurant with a partner and at least one of his other friends works there or manages it.  Isaiah, who is earning essentially veteran minimum, has $350,000 guaranteed on this year's deal.   It's probably a pretty safe bet that the restaurant was remodeled and its initial operating funds came from a loan secured by McKenzie's NFL paycheck.    So now that's not just his partner and friend but a whole payroll of other people who would be impacted by a decision to walk away.

     

    The point is for most of these guys, it's not just "I am personally offended by the NFL's protocols and vaccination policy therefore I shall take my ball and go home" that their professional business decisions (such as a decision to retire) affect, it's a whole web of people.

     

    Picking on 'Lil Dirty, needs to be realized that even a minimum-salary guy like Zay is lined up to take home money this year that puts him in the top 0.1% of the US population.  (Not 1%, 0.1%).

     

    A guy like Davis Webb, who spent most of the year on the practice squad and was active for one game at vet minimum, probably earned over $190,000 last season - which puts him in the top 11% of US household incomes.

     

    I'm gonna guess that's not you.

    First off, I love how people talk about how "this is how these guys feed their families". You don't need to be a millionaire sports player to feed your family. These guys all came in from college. They have degrees. They can get great jobs with them. Even if they made $100,000 a year they could feed their family just fine. People who make 50,000 a year can feed a family. Secondly, I was moreso speaking from the aspect of a player that has already made his money and is set for life. I personally would retire and be free

    Lol. Median NFL salary is $2.3 million. Median US household income is $60,000. 

     

    Yet you'd retire because you didn't want a little owwie 

    Not a little owwie. There's a bigger reason and also, if I have already been in the league a while, I have money set aside already to live off of. Not 60,000 but of course, you would miss the point

    So for all the secrecy of who was vaccinated and who was not, all you will need to see his footage of those wearing masks at the facility.  It amuses me how a player can look at the restrictions for not getting a vaccine and saying, "I'm good with that."

    I'd retire. I'm not even kidding. It's a freaking joke

    Hope he doesnt end up in Balt!  Been my fav non Bill since he was a rookie, and i think hed be a total waste there.  I guess its better than Indy or NE.  Now im kinda hoping he magically stays put, but very unlikely. Bummer

    Yeah, if I'm WR like Julio, I want no part of that offense with Lamar Jackson. He'll get 50 or 60 catches a year in that offense. Lamar never throws
