When the tornado touched down the other day it was 2 blocks from my house!! The dog and I spent about 30 minutes in the bathroom on the floor when we heard where it was.
At any rate, I have the generator ready and we will see what happens. My house is pretty elevated so I highly doubt I will take on any water. It’s going to be more about the flooding and people being stuck. Just saw one report that said we may see 25 inches of rain in some spots!! That was from the head of the National Weather Service. That would be insane. It looks like it’s going to be slow moving like Isaac was. It is just going to sit over us and dump rain for the next few days. Just hoping that it all works out.
Best of luck, stay safe.

Considering most running backs really only get 2 contracts - and he's averaged about 1200 total yards and 10 TDs per year. I don't really blame him.
Hard to determine his value - he's not gurley or bell, but he's also 26 and if he plays out this year he's subject to a tag year - thats 11 million in 2019. Assuming he plays well this year and gets tagged next year he'd make approximately 16-17 million. He's now 28 - the team will have drafted his replacement and "his best days are behind him" so he ends up with a modest mark ingram style deal (3yr 15 mil 6 guaranteed). He probably plays out 2 and makes 10. So he made 26 million - if he plays well and doesnt get hurt.
He signs a big deal now in the realm of the bell 4 and 50 - he gets 25ish guaranteed at signing. If he plays well he probably makes more of that 50, or signs a 2nd deal when he gets cut - if he doesn't play well (or gets hurt) he still makes the same 26 he would have made by playing out his 5th year option/tag.
From a business perspective running backs kind of have to be selfish...
This is a great level headed response. The way the league, correctly, has turned towards younger rb's on rookie contracts he almost has to hold out now to maximize his value. If he tears an ACL or something he's not getting 5 mil as a free agent.
Hold outs really don't bother me in the NFL anymore. They play the most physical sport, (could argue hockey is too) and they don't have guaranteed contracts. Teams will dump you at the most opportune time. Their is so much money in that league, and they beg for handouts on stadiums. I'm always happy when a player gets paid if it's not putting the Bills in a bad cap spot.
Gordon seems like a good guy, good player, doesn't get in trouble. Hope he gets paid.
5 hours ago, Capco said:He might be able to squeak out a deal closer to 40 million over 4 years with +25 guaranteed.
The only issue is that (imo) it is risky to tie up significant amounts of guaranteed $$ in a RB because they get hit so often. I have no idea if RBs are the most statistically prone to injury (kinda feels like DBs are at the top and OL at the bottom), but they definitely take the most pounding.
I agree, I think what goes on with RB's is they rely so much on their physical attributes that decline so quickly. I think speed and agility go quicker than strength and technique. And those two attributes can be impacted by an injury more in my opinion. I agree though, OL's seem to get hurt a lot. It's a dirty job, but I think the injury once they recover impacts performance less. Wood and Levitre both had bad injuries, and rebounded well. At least I think levitre had a bad injury, I could be incorrect now that i think about it.

The Vegas odds have very little to do with "predictions" -- we all know that the public bias outside of WNY is that the Bills are horrible.
It's not necessarily a prediction, but they are very good at setting lines so they balance their exposure on losses well. Which is why usually season lines they are within a game either way. So I get your point, it's not a prediction but it is in a way.
They get some wrong of course, but if they might get one team a year wrong by 3 or more in extraordinary circumstances.

I ate shrooms once and that was crazy. I didnt even want to because I just generally think it's gross. My friends who are great each took some our of there cut and said we're all doing it.
I just remember jumping on a big trampoline thinking I was jumping all over the houses saying it's beautiful up there and talking about how grass is amazing it just goes on and on forever.
It took me 45 minutes to roll a blunt my buddy stopped me halfway in because he thought I was rolling the guts back up in the blunt... which in my defense i wasn't. Then we all thought the corner of the living room was moving. It was fun but it was the end of it for me lol. We were tripping. I can't imagine what the neighbors thought. A bunch of 18 year olds probably outside drooling.

Now wait just a minute, a week ago SI said the Dolphins “Super Bowl Window” was opened. Now they are going to he the worst team in the league next year. Talk about hedging your bets.
I'm not doubting you, they really said that? The narrative was they were tanking for tua in March lol

They are usually pretty close to being right. I hope you're wrong, but I don't disagree.

Its a long shot but you never know. I garuantee some of the easy teams will be better than expected and some of the tough teams will play poorly. It happens every season.
14 wins is incredible. The Pat's rarely get 14 wins with a lot of gifted wins in the division.
Anyone who thinks this team is going 14-2 is nuts. I'd love to be wrong but I'm unfortunately not going to be.

Ive known guys that were security forces in the USAF and they most assuredly did not receive the exact same training as civilian LEOs. Similar jobs, but definitely different as well. Have you been through the police academy in your state? If not, how would you know? Not trying to bust your chops too hard cuz I like most of your takes on football related things, but it’s pretty obvious you have a weak knowledge base on the topic of legal and justified use of force pertaining to LEOs.
Soft post. Go after him if you're gonna do it.

And my guess from your posts that you think 0 wins is more likely.
I won't take the bait but I think anywhere between 7-9 wins is realistic. You're really going to troll me over saying 14 wins is insane?

I don't know why you want it to crash. I wish I got in it when my buddy told me all those years ago. I am happy for the fellow Bills fans who took a risk and and seeing the payoff happening.
I would love if Foxx would give us any tips like is it too late to invest or is it too late to start making bitcoins?
I read that Bitcoin has a limit so I guess missing out was meant to be for me.
I want it to crash because bit coin investors are way too bullish on it.
Someone in this thread was giving instructions on how some could converrt their 401ks into bitcoin. I could have misread it, but that's extremely irresponsible.
So yea I hope it collapses.

He may even use my account, I don’t know. There is a mobile option. My older son used it for a couple years in Nashville until he went another way.
Bottom line: I pay too much, should try to get it lower, but it has little to no impact on my life. Worth a call, so I’ll do it.
A gas station almost across the street from me sells gas for 40-50 cents more per gallon than places a mile away, and they make me angry! Great corner, but ripping people off daily!
We pick our battles.
I have a gas station very similar they charge a similar amount more. I never go there. We have like 4 gas stations within that mile. I refused to go to them and the other which is the cheapest because they didn't hire me as a teen.
I hold a grudge, probably shouldn't be a surprise to most of those who know my posting on here.

He’s like me, a very go by the rules guy. He’s more like my wife in being an “anything to excel” person. Confusing, I know! He may be using a family member login for remote access, as my older son did.
Bottom line, I wish he was here (only 20 minutes in ATL without traffic) for game days, but if I were him I’d prefer what he does.....so I want that for him. I have no desire to impose on his Sundays with his GF. We have family stuff when it makes sense, and we love his GF and her family.
Fair enough, I get it. I have no idea then how he gets the games without DTV or the ticket.
I respect the by the books approach, I just can't think of anyway he does it. Maybe uses someone else's DTV account to stream the games.
Edit: lol 20 mins in ATL without traffic. I haven't driven there but I hear it's awful.

Although my game days are over in the buffalo area I would still go with the roof. Years ago I wanted them to peg a new stadium in the Lewiston area as close to the border as possible. In my older years I realize that probably wouldn’t work out too well and of course have no clue what shape Niagara Falls/ town of niagara/ Lewiston is in these days. I just always felt that area needed the infusion of surrounding businesses a stadium would undoubtedly bring. If/when they do a new stadium I will make the trip to come see it though
My only issue with a roof is on TV the game seems dead to me. It probably doesn't apply to everyone, but watching games in the old Minnesota dome, the Superdome, Atlanta, they just all seem dead to me. The lighting just doesn't seem right, the crowd can be as raucous as ever.
I hated the games in the Rodger's centre, they were dead crowds. But the dome games for some reason just put me to sleep it's all off.
That said, I won't be mad if they build a stadium with a roof. It just always seems off to me on TV no matter who is playing.

My son has a sweet media room that puts me to shame (in a place we bought and rent to him....something VERY wrong there!), and he gets games without DTV. Need to ask him how he does it.
You can do it a couple ways. When I was going to school in Texas I used to illegally stream them. I know their is another way now, my buddies do it at their place. They get all the PPV channels. It's the same as what i think they called the pirate card back in the day. If you want to know send me a PM and I'll get more info for you.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it definitely isn't legal how he's doing it, but those companies gouge enough so no love lost.

When you have multiple coming out of the same environment with serious issues there is something wrong with the environment they came from. If these weren't an NFL coach's kids and were say two poor kids from Kensington who came out of the same house and did time for hurting people while under the influence and carrying illegal weapons I don't think anyone would blink twice if someone pointed a finger at the home environment as a contributing factor. Make it a rich guy? No it cant be the home. They HAD to be great parents. It must by other outside influences that turned these sweet Mormon boys bad.
That's a fair point. However, I do think the guy has no reason to bring it up in regards to KC.
If Andy indeed has been a bad parent, I think he suffers enough with the guilt. I don't think bringing it up like this in a throw away line in a rant about a sport is appropriate at all.

Anyone consider perhaps 1,500 is all Cam had on him.
I don't think customs really likes people rolling around with 10k on international flights. He also probably didnt expect to need the 10k considering he missed a flight and didnt plan for this.
Cam made an offer, the guy turned it down. So what.

It's become the ruination of all four major sports in the US, but considering they don't even use an exact clock, replay seems especially absurd in soccer.
It is. I'm also a bit of a purist in soccer. The game doesn't lend itself to it at all in my opinion. I don't even care for these water breaks they take now, but that I can get past for health concerns. When I grew up, and now I'll sound really old. We used to train without water so during a game it'd be a luxury.
I just have always loved the adversity that builds in response to a bad call in soccer because some of the great teams will just unload a barrage of attacking that can be really entertaining. Others fold, and that can be equally entertaining.
I've always loved seeing how teams respond.

My son got a new coach this year. We had concerns from day 1 as the previous year this particular coach had called timeouts during the game and had his team skate suicides during the entire timeout. This had happened multiple times. We raised our concerns to the club board and we were essentially ignored. Ok, fine, we'll give it a shot.
This past Saturday, a kid (not mine) takes an obvious hit to the head in open ice and goes down. Play stops and he's brought to the bench. He misses a shift but is allowed to go back on the ice for another shift or two. Then he sits for the rest of the period and beginning of the next with his head in his hands on the bench. A couple minutes into the second period he leaves the bench and goes to the locker room. He's in there for a couple minutes with the team manager who is a Mom, not a trained medical professional of any kind. He emerges from the locker room, goes back to the bench and is allowed to get back on the ice and take shifts. This is in violation of multiple protocols AND state law in the state the club is located in. The state extended it's concussion protocol law to cover non-school leagues 2 years ago. If there is any suspicion of a head injury the player is not permitted to resume play until cleared by a medical professional. Period. It does not matter if the kid or the parent consent to have them play, they are out until they are evaluated.
As part of my job I'm the athletic director for a school. If any of my coaches did either of these things I'd have to fire them for cause. I cant fire my son's hockey coach so I pulled him from the entire program Sunday morning and he will be playing for a different organization this season. Snowplow parenting or no?
No that's the complete opposite. The mom clearing him and the coach are being snow plow parents.
I've been misdiagnosed by a high school trainer, no where near as seriously it was an ankle injury. I couldn't walk I skipped school the next day after being injured and came in for treatment two days later.
She said if it was in the state tournament I'd tape you up and you'd play, but we have a couple weeks so you can take a couple days off. I'm like this is high school, I got potential offers, but naive 17 year old me just took her at her word. Over 10 years later and I can't cut off my left ankle. I played all my college career having to be taped up for every practice and game. Sometimes again at half time. I can tweak it just walking. Which isn't ideal to be taped up as a soccer player because it restricts the flexibility required in that foot to manipulate the ball.
I learned a few years later she was definitely full of *****. My brother complained to her about knee pain just from running for a couple years. She basically said it was in his head and he was fine. Finally saw a specialist and the cartilage in his knee was gone and it was bone scraping bone and required surgery.
I never trust amateurs and coaches even at the youth levels with health issues because idk if it is some weird thirst for success or ignorance. A lot of them don't seem to have the best intentions for players.
If I were you, especially your expertise in this area, you're definitely in the right pulling your kid. What they did is completely irresponsible.

Melvin Gordon will hold out and demand a trade from LAC without a new contract
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
Yea I didn't really get that either. I like Rivers, and they probably should have done more to address the future, but idk about making him a priority over younger players.
Even considering the importance of his position and how the RB is valued now. I'm sure they can make it work. Rivers seems like a guy who wants a championship, if he values Gordon I think he would take into consideration his needs when it comes to what is probably his last contract if he re-ups.
