  1. I like watching him get beat. Does that count?
  2. Tough scrapper and a unique interesting dude; the only Rastafarian prizefighter I really know of. He beat Mancini in a rematch also. Some writer once said about him "“Whoever he fights has a home planet advantage”
  3. Some background in case it helps you feel better: The Millers are from my neck of the woods and I've seen them play and coach multiple times since the mid-80's, typically as they eliminate my HS team from the postseason. Father (John) was one of the best HS coaches in the state for three decades, winning 7-8 state titles and frequently beating much bigger and more talented schools. On the sidelines he always comported himself with dignity and showed respect for opponents and officials; by all accounts he was a genuinely good man as well as a great coach. Sean was the eldest brother and my memories of him as a player consist mostly of him crying to officials, intentionally embarrassing lesser players and generally acting like an entitled, self-important jackass. Archie was the younger brother and my memories of him as a player involve him always helping rivals off the floor, being the first to run over and hug a broken-hearted opponent after ending their season and generally conducting himself with an enormous amount of class and respect for others. The word from those who know them better is that Archie is much like his father and Sean is, well, the less said the better. Hang in there my friend; I would not be at all surprised if Sean leaving Xavier turns out to have some similarities to Stefon Diggs leaving the Bills; i.e. better for Xavier than it is for Sean. Side note: John Calipari (no, I won't bother you with my classic Calipari defenestration story again; - ) is sort of Sean and Archie's "cousin". It goes without saying that he is considered more like Sean than Archie.
  4. I haven't seen Duke yet, but right now I am watching a Houston team that is loaded with athletes, has a plethora of scoring options, plays ferocious defense in both zone and man, and also has a very, very smart coach. They are the best team I've seen so far.
  5. Thank you for letting us know that you couldn't find one single person here who is demanding that she be believed, even though that is what you claim you are repeatedly railing against. Since you freely admit that this is not happening here, perhaps you should go repeatedly complain about this problem in a place where it actually exists. In the future, if there are any other transgressions of which nobody in this community is guilty, I'd image folks here would appreciate not being accused of them. Repeatedly.
  6. I don't really have any speculation because, like you, I have no idea what the Bills may or may not have offered him. You are free to push your money wherever you like, but basing your take on an opinion that you have presented as a "fact" seems a bit of a stretch.
  7. This is in no way, shape or form a "fact".
  8. Could you please name all the people in this thread that are demanding that the accuser be believed?
  9. So far? Or has he returned to dlust?
  10. Exactly I have no more knowledge of Wiley's true character than the poster I was responding to. I was just pointing out that he was making the same kind of self-supporting assumptions that he was berating others for. I will say that the one thing in this thread that caught my attention was something that was said by a long-time poster with an extensive history of high-quality takes. It has more of a ring of truth than anything else I have read on the subject.
  11. This could be a helpful link for you
  12. What did the Bills offer him?
  13. Oh my...... 3 point game
  14. I think it means "assumed" 👍
  15. I think it was a good pickup but I don't think it's the last we'll see.
  16. You have no idea what you'd do and holding rape victims to your imaginary standard is utterly pathetic. You've got over twice as many posts as anybody in this thread and have driven it off the rails with your mindless, repetitive extremism. Again. I don't want to see you in here any more.
  17. Would you rather get held down by a huge dude and ass-raped or lose a fight and your car?
  18. Yeah, she's clearly getting a pass while you compare rape to car theft. Maybe you should sit this one out, chief.
  19. Your assumption that Marcellus Wiley is a man of high character is equally as spurious as the assumptions being made by others that you are arguing against.
  20. This is exactly what Johnny Bravo would say
  21. If true, that is an eye opener. Edit: Just to clarify, I don't mean to imply you're lying or making something up. Just that it's a third-hand account of something that happened three decades ago.
  22. I anticipate seeing a veteran CB added to the roster before the draft
