thank you. It doesn’t mean s*** if he’s in Toronto my god this thread.

for sure agreed. I just think it’s funny that the league and its competition committee has been proposing and implementing all these unpopular rule changes in recent years (like the kickoff fair catch rule that everyone hates) in the name of player safety when what players want (and have said) most is more rest, no schedule expansion and NO more short weeks.

more interesting thursday games is the only benefit to the generic fan watching on tv. But they’re not doing this for our benefit. It’s for Amazon.

Agreed you don’t want to F around up there beyond the park and the casino. Well that’s the thing - that’s a perfectly good idea driving in. If the OP is flying in he could stay at one of the multiple hotels by the airport too, get an uber or rent a car and go to the village and just walk around, and just drive to the game. Homeboy didn’t really give us enough details.

nah. in most cases with the amount of whining that takes place on this board I’d normally agree with you but this is a bad change. It benefits nobody except the league and its bottom line. It potentially inconveniences fans and shifts more health risks to players. It’s not a good move.

lower than yours? Doubtful.

The fans (especially out of town fans) potentially get screwed yes but the bigger issue is making the players play more of these short weeks. It’s a wack change just to appease Amazon and it sucks.

you trying to airbnb or just hotel it? edit: and are you flying in or driving in? Details buddy they’re important.

Uhh…most Buffalo fans know how you feel?

that first part has always wondered me - why was the “punt god” the 3rd punter drafted? Is it because all these teams (except the Bills apparently) knew about the rape allegations prior to draft day or were there other reasons?

I’m not suggesting “going after them.” I’m not saying people should be shamed or abused, demand they make public apologies, or anything else that’s been advocated for in this thread and elsewhere. All I said was that sort of thinking should be questioned and not waved away as just human nature when the consequences faced by people who are wrongly accused of serious crimes are real and lasting.

I’m saying it should not just be waved away without pointing it out and questioning it, that’s all. There are many things we see and hear everyday that are perfectly okay to make snap judgements about. Serious felony charges aren’t one of them.

Sure I agree with that; it is human. It’s human weakness and irrational bias. Not something that should just be allowed to exist without questioning it.

My daughter or sister would be people I personally know very well. So of course I would believe them. Not the same thing as people reading about these allegations on twitter from an unnamed accuser that they don’t know from Adam and immediately condemning the accused.

I generally agree with your idea of sealing names of accused (and alleged victims) at least until criminal charges are filed. That would require a major change in public records law however, and would definitely not be an “easy” fix. You would have to change rules for civil pleadings as well. That’s how this news got out remember. Neither the cops nor the DA leaked he was being investigated - it became news when the civil suit was filed. As to whether those who jump to judgment immediately upon hearing allegations like this are dumb or simply emotional, I think it’s pretty fair to say people who simply believe someone they’ve never met about something they weren’t there themselves to see are, in fact, pretty frigging dumb. Or at least mind numbingly naive.

I can’t imagine anyone did no. I suppose this development is just confirmation.

Okay well if Pegula wanted an outside opinion on his coach’s/GM’s performance he has more than enough resources to hire any number of professional talent evaluation firms.

Do you think this is like, your dream journal or something?

he turns to people definitely smarter than you. Settled?

Pine is best buds with several ditch diggers

Uh…yeah. There was zero chance he was ever returning. Come on man.

fallen for it countless times not a problem 👍

probably didn’t catch Bruce’s sarcasm there did ya?

Very cool! Cue the “he should be at the gym/track” big brains…

Just in general, I don’t see a reason why they couldn’t add 1 or 2 more to the wall. I don’t think the new stadium construction is impeding that in any way - everyone (except maybe OJ) is going to be transferred over to that building anyways. As far as names, Bennett is a good choice. Kyle Williams and Eric Moulds should get serious consideration as well.
