  1. That’s true. A few posters noted that in the preseason.
  2. Bunch of pampered hippies who started riots in the late 1960s.
  3. PSU boys know what they’re talking about!
  4. Tasker seems like he’s eating well
  5. I’m not sure that this is true. airlines and hospitals have mandated vaccines without having support of all their unions.
  6. I saw that. Gotta say its disappointing that the Bills dont have the same buy in and focus.
  7. This is what I dont get. Football is considered the ultimate team game. Where players are all for one and one for all. You hear players say "I'd run through a brick wall for my teammates". And today we have a Bills team that is a championship competitor for the first time this century. Yet a few key players are too stubborn to get vaccinated. I dont know these guys personally, but I'm pretty sure its shear stubborness. Supported by rampant misinformation. For these guys who have kids, are their kids vaccinated against diptheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, Hib, etc? I'm betting yes.
  8. Sounds like he was really sick. Four days in the hospital, short of breath, Painful to even move. this should be required listening. Especially for his teammates.
  9. I understand your point— that it may take the official a while to throw the flag. but consider the following. 1). 17 steps? That sure is a lot of time. 2). There was a pretty long conference. Pretty sure that the other officials were asking him if he was absolutely sure that he saw a foul. 3). OfficL who threw the flag was 98. The line judge. Why would he be looking in the defensive backfield at the beginning of the play, when qb was still in pocket?
  10. I thought the officiating was pretty marginal. The roughing and one helmet to helmet call have already been discussed. But in the first half, official throws a flag against Bills D. After long discussion, referree says 36 called for illegal contact prior to QB leaving the pocket. Here is a photo of official throwing the flag. I rewatched the play several times to make sure I had this right. When the flag is thrown (at the sideline), lions QB has taken 17 steps outside of the pocket. Im pretty sure that the discussion amongst the officials was “are you sure this happened while the QB was in the pocket”. And stubborn official says “yup, that’s what I saw”. BS. Send this guy back to the MAC.
  11. Speaking of credibility, I find it hard to believe that a guy who has been returning punts since high school didn’t know how to catch a kickoff in the sun. I’m thinking that maybe, just maybe, you misinterpreted that interaction. Just calling it as I see it.
  12. I remember in the 80s someone told me that Ferragamo meant “interception “ in Italian
  13. I’m not sure that Kumerow likes that nickname you picked out…
  14. Watching that clip reminded me of this game show.
  15. Whoa… Sherlock is prescient. Beasley just released a rap single on iTunes. Guess the topic.
  16. Yes!! Lebros is the best. I’ve been to 7 of the 10 places listed. Lebros wins. The biggest wings I’ve ever had. And just the right heat. They don’t try to burn your mouth. Surprised that Lebros not getting more love.
  17. This is exactly my list of players, but in different order. Same rationale- who would be missed most in case of injury.
  18. Serious question. Why dont you believe it helps or protects? Is your belief based upon scientific studies, with publicly available data? Or is your belief based upon Facebook groups?
  19. Beasley has every right to refuse vaccination. He also has a right to drive on the left side of the road while on his private property. But society has decided, based on abundant data, that it is best for public health for all except immunocompromised, etc to get vaccinated. US society also has decided, based on a coin flip, that its best to drive on the right hand side of the road. A well established paradigm states that your "rights" are limited when they begin to impact others. So if you want to remain unvaccinated, thats fine. Live outside society. Thats a difficult choice, but may be your choice. But if youre unvaccinated and out in public, you may be unwittingly putting others at risk. In this particular instance, its disappointing that one player wants to put himself above the team, especially after the captains stated all vaccine discussions were staying in house. Its even more disappointing since this is the first Bills team with a serious shot at the Super Bowl in this century. Good teammate there, huh? Finally, Covid recommendations are nothing if not fluid. Policies changing due to both politics and data. Here is a bit of data that should have everyone concerned. Every wave of this pandemic has been forecast by events in UK/Europe preceding events here by about 4-8 weeks. UK is undergoing a surge now, due to the highly transmissible delta variant. This variant has gone from 6% of cases to >80% of cases in the UK. It has an R0 of 5, which means its almost as transmissible as measles. You get these viruses just by breathing the same air. So the social distancing/masking recommendations may need to be even harsher to keep this variant controlled. Wearing double masks, N95 for everyone, face shield plus masks, 12 feet social distancing, all these may be coming. Or you could get a vaccine.
  20. My goodness. Everything you write is wrong. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41577-020-0377-3 https://www.massdevice.com/moderna-touts-preclinical-study-results-for-covid-19-vaccine-candidate/ https://utsouthwestern.edu/covid-19/assets/moderna-review.pdf
  21. You've got quite a bit wrong here. Let's review. "The dude is doing what he thinks is best for him and his family not to have an experiment injected into him." This isnt an experiment. Phase 1, 2, and 3 trials are experiments (clinical trials might be a nicer word, but its the same). All Covid vaccines authorized for use in the US have gone through phase 1/2/3 trials. "You or no one has no clue what these vaccines will do to you in the next few years because in the situation there was hardly any studies done because something worked in the moment." Nope, wrong again. Well, only mostly wrong. It is true that no one can predict the future, so you're right there. But 200+ years of history tells us that all known vaccine side effects become apparent within 6-8 weeks. "Hardly any studies". Nope. The studies that led to authorization included 30K people for each vaccine. "At the end of the day his decision does not effect your well-being." Yeah, actually it does. Everyone who is not vaccinated becomes a reservoir for coronavirus infections, and the pandemic, to persist. And this reservoir allows for more chances for mutation, more chances for a more virulent, nasty virus to emerge.
  22. McCoy was the only RB in recent history to carry the ball “like a loaf of bread”. I think Bills coaches probably told him they didnt like it, but as long as he didn’t fumble they’d look the other way
  23. 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
