    Yep. And the Bills are favored by 3 this Sunday over the team that most people in the sports world have as the "best team in the league" and that team is coming off a 70 point performance.

     

    We will know soon enough which team is the best in the league. Bills or Dolphins.

     

    Chiefs have the Jets and 49ers have the Cardinals. Won't learn anything good about either of those two contenders. 

     

    So the Chiefs are penalized for playing the Jets, while the Bills lost to the Jets and aren't?  Not trying to pick a fight, but the logic there is ludicrous. 

     

    3 weeks into the season, the Power Rankings are mostly pointless as the sample size isn't big enough.  Some schedules are front loaded and others are back loaded, so it's hard to rank teams.

    Marvin Harrison Jr injured…

     

    FALLS IN THE DRAFT TO 32 OVERALL.

     

    Go Bills

     

    Pretty sure you could remove one of Harrison's legs and he'd go higher than 32.

    He wasn't changing the subject: he was providing an example of criminality by the leader of the Dem party.  That you simps are justifing it because "he gave them back as soon as he knew" tells me how serious to take you all.

     

    But that works both ways.  If you think it's criminal that Biden did it, but don't care that Trump did it, that's the same thing.  

     

    It sure appears that most Presidents take documents they shouldn't, and then try to make it appear as though it was accidental.  I am sure some are.  But I am also sure that most aren't accidental.  That's a separate debate.  But it is an escalation when the documents Trump had were requested to be returned, and he didn't.  That is an issue.

    Doesn't Trump, as President, have the ability to declassify documents as he sees fit?

     

    Yes, if he takes the proper steps to do it.  It can't be after the fact, and it can't be "I thought it."

    I didn't think the facemask penalties were much of anything. He went for a stiff arm and his fingers got caught in the grill. Don't think those would be worth a fine let alone suspension.

    I know the league takes contact with an official pretty seriously, but going so far as to suspend a "star" QB ? I don't think there was enough here for that

     

    The first facemask wasn't an issue until he tried to throw the guy by the facemask.  Just a stupid over reaction.  The 2nd I didn't feel like was much of anything.  RBs do the same thing all the time with no call.

     

    As far as the official, he will get fined I'm sure, but people saying he "shoved" him aren't being honest.  He did grab him, which isn't ok, but he didn't forcefully push him.

    I said he must've been in shock myself. Only thing I could come up with. 

     

    Read my last post. I corrected myself. But if the ball is thrown 5 yards out of bounds and is impossible to catch in bounds, it's determined "uncatchable" therefore what happened in the field of play has no bearing on the outcome. It's in the rules. 

     

    The refs didn't rule it uncatchable though.  They can signal a pad uncatchable. They didn't.

    Not if you play money line also

     

    There are 50 college football games every week .  You can bet teams that are -350 moneline...  Massive favorites 

     

    Hawaii vs Stanford ... Stanford -350... I'll just put $2,000 on that money line.   Thats an easy 450 bucks

     

    And yeah 70% of those bets hit 

     

    Friend has been an Oklahoma booster for 25 years and he makes $50,000 a year gambling college football

     

    I was 13 and 3 on the bills money line last year lol I took them to win every game

     

    Now if I just strictly play the spread I'm not hitting at a 70% clip... But you can pick money line games that are almost guaranteed to hit you just won't get a good return

     

    So I know it's not exact, but if you hit 70% on -350, you're losing money.  In your own example, you'd have to win 4-5 games to make up for 1 loss.  That's way more than 70%.

    What evidence are you referring to?

     

    Evidence is a poor choice of words.  You dismiss the report and says you see zero chance of it happening, yet you have no information to back that up except pure speculation.  I am not even claiming he did say it, but there was a report filed on one end very soon after the zoom call, it was followed up weekly for months to 2 separate individuals, and then it was promptly ignored.  People don't typically file complaints and put that much effort into it for it to be purely phony.

    I haven't followed this "news" at all. It didn't pass the initial smell test. Reading up on it in detail just now it appears that we're three degrees and three years away from the source. Some NFL media reporter claims Pegula said this to him back in 2020 (why would Pegula say anything this stupid to an NFL media reporter is the first question that comes to my mind). That reporter tells his story to a Zoom full of NFL employees. Jim Trotter was in that Zoom meeting and raised a complaint.

     

    So the chain of communication here is: Pegula -> NFL media reporter -> Trotter in a Zoom meeting -> Trotter's attorneys; all over the course of three years.

     

    It's laughable to take such an extended game of telephone even remotely seriously. I see exactly a zero percent chance that Pegula said to an NFL media reporter "let the black players go back to Africa" in any possible context. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. It's also incredibly irresponsible of Trotter's attorneys to include such inflammatory and baseless accusations in a footnote, but no doubt they knew what they were doing to get attention on the lawsuit.

     

    If I'm trying to be charitable to the initial NFL media reporter who quoted Pegula's alleged comment, perhaps Pegula did say something to the effect of "if these players hate their freedoms in America so much they should try living in 3rd world countries" which IMO is an irrational argument but it's a fairly common argument and not inherently racist in the slightest. I can see how such a statement could get twisted over the years to become a villainous caricature of itself, but that's about as much as I'd be willing to even entertain.

     

    So your evidence that their evidence is phony is that you simply have no idea, but that it sounds funny?  You even guessed at the end of your comment to try to make the supposed statement sound better.

     

    I have no idea what was said, but to say that it couldn't have been said is very naïve.  Also, if this was reported by Trotter pretty quickly after it happened, but then took 3 years to come out in the news, that isn't a story that floated around for 3 years.  Part of the reason Trotter filed his complaint is because he said his reports were ignored.  It claims he followed up weekly, so there SHOULD be a paper trail of sorts.  No audio as far as I can tell, but a timely report, follow ups, and it looks like zero investigation. That is part of Trotter's entire suite.  Reports of racism and discrimination were supposedly ignored.

    All Terry had to do was apologize and say he’ll do better to educate himself and all would be forgiven. Apparently that’s how this kind of stuff works.

    Not that I agree with anything Jackson said or posted, but employers are under an entirely different set of rules.  If one of my employees says something racist, I can fire him with cause but that's the extent of punishment.  If I say the same thing, I can get sued into oblivion.

    There were enough isolated things I saw to think this is still a good team. This was the Jets super bowl, and it looked just like this game did last year. Josh was beyond stupid, but he does that a few times a year. The schedule gives us a chance to put this game in the distant recesses of our memories, we don't see a defense remotely as good until we play the jets one last time

     

     

    How was this their Super Bowl?  They came in with big hopes for the year and then they were dashed almost instantly.  But they had Super Bowl hopes for the season, and given the defense and the potential of Rodgers, it was probably legit hope.  

     

    Don't try to pin this game as less important to the Bills than the Jets.

    When will people realize you do NOT win football games / Super Bowls by paying running backs? This board is OBSESSED with RBs.

     

    No team who has won the Super Bowl in the last 15 years has paid a starting RB over 2.5M 

     

    You don't win by paying an RB, these are world class athletes. You win by putting an OL on the field .. the RB is irrelevant. 

     

    JT was GREAT his rookie year with the best OL in the NFL.. last year, they weren't as good and neither was he. As the OL goes, the RB goes. 

     

    Leonard Fournette in Tampa made way more than $2.5M

    The war mongers are still trying to push the narrative Elon is some bad guy.  

     

    Just ignoring the fact that would have been a huge escalation.

     

     

     

    Hill has journalistic integrity of buzzfeed BTW

     

     

     

    Why are we worried about Ukrainian "escalation," but not at all worried about Russia killing ten of thousands of Ukrainian civilians, likely hundreds of thousands, and purposefully burning crops and the like?  Attacking Russia's fleet is out of bounds escalation, but Russia literally murdering thousands and thousands isn't "escalation?"

    What always fascinates me about the Ashlii Babbitt shooting is that it's one of the few times you see liberal politicians (and by extension, liberal voters) side with the police in a fatal shooting, or general discharge of a weapon.

     

    We know with certainty that she didn't have a weapon, didn't wave around a handgun, didn't attack the officer with a knife, or even physically attack him. Contrast that treatment by dems/liberals when a guy like Michael Brown was shot after attempting to beat an officer and steal his weapon. 

     

    It's weird...no calls for warning shots or shooting her in the leg here. 

     

    You understand that your point is 2 sided, right? This is one of the few times the right doesn't "back the blue" and turned on the officer immediately.  

     

    You have to take these situations case to case.  Police shoot an unarmed woman through a wall in her apartment while looking for her boyfriend? Bad policing, and murder.  Woman entering a window of a barricaded door while being ordered not to,  and with tons of people behind.  To me,  that's more understandable, especially when they're was no way to tell if she was armed or not.

    Quack MD.

     

    Doors were opened in some cases from the inside at the Capitol on J6. People streamed in, single file right past Capitol police officers and continued between the velvet ropes.

     

    We have a guy blaring from a megaphone at the top of scaffolding exhorting people to first "move forward" and then "we're in, cmon, we need your help, let's fill up the Capitol!"

     

    Strangely enough the FBI has no interest in this character whatsoever. I wonder why?

     

    Don't tell us...Qanon!

     

    Ray Epps himself used the defense that he thought the Capitol was open on J6 as to why he was encouraging people to go INTO the Capitol that day.

     

    Curious why he told hundreds of others that WE need to go into the Capitol, that he thought was open, but then he never did?

     

    If the I thought the Capitol was open defense is good enough for Epps, why not for others? 

     

    Officers standing by letting people in might give one the impression that the Capitol was indeed open, no?

     

     

     

     

     

    So you're ok with the Ashlii Babbit shooting then?  Because that area was locked and people still tried pushing through and broke the window that she then climbed through all while being ordered not to.  

     

    I honestly don't know what the policies are involving the Capitol being open to the public day to day, but I'd assume that normally during the certification of an election, it is closed.  I may be wrong.  But even if people were let in, the actions by some of the people after that caused problems.  if I have a party, and have people inside, and 3 of the 15 people invited start causing problems and breaking things in my house, everyone is out.  And those that then refuse are now there illegally, whether they came in invited or not.

     

    And I'm not agreeing if people were "let it" or not.  I have no idea as I wasn't there.  Just showing that even if they were "let in", that doesn't give them free reign, or establish that they continued to be peaceful once inside.
