Having been raised in the Jewish faith this name never fails to crack me up. "Adonai" is Hebrew for "God" and religious Jews are so careful of observing the commandment of not taking God's name in vain, they actually won't say this word unless engaged in formal prayer. In other cases they substitute the word Hashem which means "the name."
I can't wait until he catches a Hail Mary pass.
Adonai is actually not the formal name of God that the Jewish faith refuses to say, out of respect for His name. Adonai is actually the name for the Lord that the Jewish faith substitutes for the name revealed to Moses at the burning bush. What we have in the book of Exodus is simply the Hebrew letters that transliterate as YHWH (often anglicized as Yahweh, but we literally aren't sure how it would have been pronounced as the vowel points have been lost to time). Another word, Jehovah, was the rough mixing of the consonants from YHWH (JHVH) and the vowels from Adonai. Jehovah is not a "real" word but has been used as the "name" of the Lord.
Y'all are all good using Adonai.

Let me address a couple of points, since I am an ordained pastor in the Wesleyan Church (the same denomination as Eastern Hills Wesleyan).
First, Kim (Kerr) Pegula's family has a long history in the Wesleyan Church denomination, especially in WNY. Her dad has served in lay leadership positions for many years and Kim graduated from Houghton College (now University) which is one the five Wesleyan Church denomination schools for higher Ed. Yes, it is from the Methodist line of churches, definitely not prosperity gospel or super charismatic. While some larger churches have more revenue, typically our denomination sets the basic budget for pastoral salary, and it is not exorbitant (typically think around $600-700/week). I don't know any Wesleyan pastors that are rich according to American standards. Now relative to the rest of the world, we're all extremely wealthy ...
Secondly, it is not common, but also not unheard of, to hold a prayer service for those in serious health conditions. My church held one for a member who was intubated during the worst of COVID. She recovered and the family was supported through that time because of that service.
Lastly, why would we assume we pray for someone after they pass? From a Christian standpoint, the time that God could typically intervene is before they pass. King David, in 2 Samuel, fasts and prays fervently for his newborn son. When his son passed away, he got up, washed and ate some food. His servants asked why he was no longer "mourning" (by fasting and praying) ... David's response was essentially while the boy was living there was still a chance that God would show his grace and heal his son. Once he died, the matter was settled.

Let's just call this award "best statistical QB award"because that is what it has become. MVP talk should have ended when Chad Henne marchrd 98 yards for a TD against Jacksonville when PM was hurt and out of the game. It is obvious to anyone watching that PM is not the MVP if his backup can accomplish what we expect PM to accomplish.

In one of the games this weekend (can't remember which one), there was a no call on delay of game (clock showed zero) but they called encroachment. The defensive player jumped once the clock hit zero, timing his rush to the play clock. I couldn't believe that they ignored the delay of game in that instance.

Why did the officials blow the play dead while the play was still going on?

All I could think is that the sideline called a TO? Can you do that to stop a play?

Amazing that the whistles always blow right on the 2:00 minute warning, but they can't do the same with the play clock ...

X is a hell of a thing to substitute for the name Christ.👎
Speaking as a theologian (pastor for 30 years), using X in words such as Xmas and Xian (or Xtian) is historically acceptable as it is using the Greek letter Chi which looks nearly identical to the English X. This has been done historically by theologians for probably at least a millennium. This is not the culture removing Christian things from society.
Now back to Tua ...

And I'd love to know what he did in that pile after the fumble, and after the whistle was blown, to get that unnecessary roughness penalty. I watched that play a couple times to try to figure out what he did. Essentially, he's outside on the periphery, and then after the whistle blows, you see him reach into the pile and then you can't see him. Then three flags all go flying at once. They never talk about what he did, and the announcers just ignore it. But it cost them 15 yards, and was egregious enough that all three officials saw it immediately. Mac & Cheese is a punk.
It's "Unsportsmanlike Conduct" for players to pull other players off of a pile scrambling for a fumble. That appears to be what the penalty was called for.

My dad grew up "following" the Packers. He offered to buy tickets "the next time" the Packers came to town. Unfortunately I lived in Chicago at the time ... and my wife was pregnant. We drove all night, met the parents at Rich Stadium, watched the game, immediately drove home for work on Monday. Others have driven farther, but we did a 22 hour trip which included about 4 hours for the game.

I think they flat out got the rule wrong.
Poyer had 3 feet down on the INT play. Look at the images below.
The rule book states a catch is when a player:
“a. secures control of the ball in his hands or arms prior to the ball touching the ground; and
b. touches the ground inbounds with both feet or with any part of his body other than his hands; and
c. after (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, performs any act common to the game (e.g., tuck the ball away, extend it forward, take an additional step, turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent), or he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so.”
NOTE: Poyer took the additional step. He had 3 full feet down. If “c” is satisfied, then surving the ground doesn't apply. Again, see the rule book:
“If a player, who satisfied (a) and (b), but has not satisfied (c), contacts the ground and loses control of the ball, it is an incomplete pass if the ball hits the ground before he regains control, or if he regains control out of bounds”
He satisfied “c” with his third step, so surviving the ground becomes null and void. That’s an INT.
This ... Poyer had three steps

The good news is that since the browns scored late and made it a one score game, this goes to the vaunted "1 score game" credit for McDermott! So glad we allowed it to be one score so his record could improve there /s. 😂😂

I got four for my son and friends ... I can't transfer them to his account. He is going to need to use my account to show tickets at the gate. I wonder if that was intentional to upend the secondary market for such a cheap game.

Where did the bills mafia name originate? I thought a group of fans had called themselves that for years, but I may be confusing that with the Bills Army group

That was the replay... Josh said he was knocked down and didn't know what happened till he heard the crowd roar and he stood back up.
I did see a replay from the end zone Gabe scored in that showed him still running (tough to tell from that angle how far out, maybe 20-30 yard line) and you can see Spencer Brown flexing towards the crowd (or the Steelers D) in the other end zone

We had a large maple tree get beat up by a wind storm this summer so i created a Bills piece of art. I would add the photos directly but for the upload limitations.

Adonai Mitchell - name cracks me up
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
I mean that "Jehovah" was contrived from the consonants of YHWH and the vowels of Adonai (and dragged through a couple languages other than English). It's now a "word" ... but it literally does not appear in the original languages.
