You realize that new england is routinely one of the most penalized teams.
But you can probably go join the OP in making points that contradict facts.

Yea, why should people be able to live in the area they work in...and poor people give up their rights by being poor when it inconveniences me.
It’s not only poor people Jeremy. There was a bunch of news of people renting apartments there due to location that had serious means. I have no problem with poor people living there, but at the very least the HUD should remodel or rebuild. It is a disgusting eye sore. Period.

Screw crooked millionaire developers and billionaire team owners -- and their supporters -- who want to ride rough-shod over ordinary people while demanding public financing of their projects and stadiums.
FYI, the Marine Drive Apartments are not "subsidized apartments". They're publicly owned apartments managed by the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority and regulated by the Department of Housing and Community Renewal that provide affordable housing. Most of the tenants are lower middle income individuals and families, including many retirees who moved there when nobody else wanted to live Downtown.
Really? I guess you don’t know the truth about who “rents” there. Even so, they can move the affordable housing to a much better facility, with better parking and open up that land for investment. See every other city in America.

If you are talking about the CBD, yes it is mostly empty because most buildings are filled with traditional 9-5, M-F type enterprises, but there are businesses there -- mostly restaurants, bars, gyms, theaters, etc. Most are small places, but that doesn't mean that they should be kicked to the curb in order to build a sports palace that's used maybe 30 times a year at best. Moreover, 'Downtown' is more than the CBD; Canalside and Erie Basin Marina are part of downtown, too, and the businesses there are packed on Sundays, especially in the summer and early fall. The buildings these businesses in are on the tax rolls; a city/county/state owned stadium wouldn't be.
There are about 5-7k people living in the CBD and the outlying parts of downtown like Waterfront Village, Johnson Park, the Theatre District. These people would find their lives signifcantly impacted by crowds of 70k people filling their streets, parking illegally, etc The residents of the Marine Drive apartments and the Waterfront Village would find it difficult if not impossible to get in or out of their neighborhoods on game days/nights.
Screw the Marine Drive Apartment eye sore. They need to move that subsidized housing elsewhere from prime real estate.

I have owned these types of dogs (pit bull mixes, usually w/ some sort of hound like Catahoula thrown in) for the last 10-odd years off and on. No issues whatsoever. So our personal experiences notwithstanding, my point about the graphic was that there are probably in the range of 6-1 pitt bull-rottweiler in the US population...which would account for the percentage of fatal attacks.
If we're talking overall...you're about 200x more likely to be killed by over the counter aspirin than a pit bull.
bull####. All dangerous breeds are the same. There needs to be a licensing and insurance requirement, period.

Are you describing a situation in which your dog was socializing with an unfamiliar dog in the presence of your 5 year old daughter without you in the immediate vicinity?
No. A woman was walking a dog in front of my house. My kids were playing in the yard, while, I was playing with my Shih Tzu, who by the way was on a long leash. As the pit bull approached. I grabbed my dog's chain, and they approached each other as dogs do. Lady said dog was friendly, my dog went in for a sniff after the pit was sniffing the crap out of my dog, and whammo! Vice grips on my dogs head. Don't try to put the blame on us. The lady couldn't control the dog, so I kicked the living ***** out of it until he let go.

There’s no research suggesting pit bull types are more prone to getting ‘triggered’ and attacking a human than other breeds of dog.
But when they get triggered they lose it! enough with this pit bull suffragette. They are not pets.

You don't have to say that, the rest of your post makes that abundantly clear.
What do you envision that letting a dog breed consisting of 4-5 million dogs "dying out naturally" would look like? Do you think that if you ignored them they would do you the kindness of just going extinct? Are you suggesting by letting them free to do as they please they would find the world inhospitable and just die out as opposed to forming more packs of stray dogs that hunt for food, thereby making the problem worse? There is no eliminating a breed that large without euthanasia... so maybe you're suggesting "naturally" euthanizing 4-5 million dogs?
As for the "cool, tough" argument, I rescued my dog from a shelter when she was less than a year old and was told she was a mix of different breeds but not a pit, which I was suspicious of/doubtful of at the time (and which also is part of the problem for unsuspecting dog owners). I was also told by the shelter that she was a year and a half old and that she was done growing. When I took her to the vet he said she's definitely a pit mix and that she's definitely going to gain another ~20ish pounds by the time she's done growing, and he was right. Regardless, I adopted her because she's the smartest, sweetest, friendliest, most personality filled dog that I've ever owned, and that was on display from the moment I met her. I wasn't going expressly to adopt a pit, she was just the dog I connected with when I went to the shelter.
We get it. You love your dog, and you may be a great owner. They are not a breed that should be prevalent. Their behavior sucks. My 5 year old daughters witnessed "the sweetest dog in the world" decide to bite my dog's head, and pop his eye out, before I came over to beat that ***** down. My dog was on a leash just smelling ass. best dog ever, so ***** pit bulls.the woman who was walking her, had no control.

My son is 4 and I stand right next to him if anyone's pit is around. I've never encountered a mean one but stories like this make me nervous.
as they should. I've experienced it with my dog and others. F Pit Bulls. They are not pets, unless you have a small penis! F them.

You hear about it because of their capacity to inflict injury. When a pit snaps it will mess you up. When a chihuahua bites someone, like they do every day (vicious c@$ts), its not a newsworthy event.
Pit attacks are also part of a larger narrative that the public thirsts for. If it happens somewhere in the US, it will be a national story. In the 80s it was German Shepherds, then Dobermans, then Rotweilers, and now its pit bulls. Had a pit bit someone in 1982 no one cares, since the breed was less known. Had a shepherd bit someone, its on 60 minutes.
It certainly does not help the breeds reputation that they're preferred by scumbags of all walks for dog fighting, guarding drugs, and dudes who think having a tough dog is cool.
Sorry, I am passionate about this. They suck. They were bread for killing. They aren't a pet.

I know I’ll take a lot of flack from some members here, but Pit Bulls seem to be the most popular breed committing these types of atrocious attacks. And I get it: it’s not necessarily the dog’s fault. The owner typically has something to do with the aggressive tendencies. But this breed has a crossed wire in it’s genetic makeup somewhere that needs attention.
It’s rare for a golden retriever, yellow lab, pug or an assortment of other breeds to commit this type of unprovoked attack. This girl was sitting on her grandmother’s lap and yanked to the ground suffering major leg and nerve injuries.
Here’s the other problem: this ***** owned not one, but TWO pit bulls. Double the aggressiveness huh? Battling for food? Battling for attention. So when the kid gets yanked to the ground, they fight over the little girl. Less of a chance to separate them.
I read a story about a young woman who left her TWO pit bulls with her uncle for a few months, came back to visit them and walked them in the woods. They later found her mangled body in the woods with the pit bulls near by.
There’s a couple with two pit bulls behind my building. The pit bulls are in a 10x10 cage and just basically stay out there all day. If they ever get out they are 30 feet from the main sidewalk used by young kids to walk to school. Scary.
Like I said, some of you guys are responsible owners and would certainly pass a background check. But this breed needs better monitoring or should, perhaps, be discontinued altogether. The genetic makeup must be all screwed up to have these types of incidents arise as often as they do.

Yes, the breed is not a pet. My dog got his eye popped out by a pit, because he didn't like him sniffing his butt. F Pit Bulls. When you look at shelters, 50%+ are these dogs. Enough.

Thanks for the advice. We booked the rooms mostly because the ladies in the group liked the pool and the happier they are there the more time I can explore.
Local joints are a must, I don’t do Olive Garden and all that Jazz. What’s near the Millenium that is a must have? I assume there has to be wings close by?
Sorry, that is a really poor choice. The hotel is disgusting, and you are at the mall. There is nothing that is a must have around there. I would've suggested Hampton Inn East Aurora, or any of the nice hotels downtown. Paying $150+ for the Millenium is rough.

Its funny, that we still use measurables to translate success. Yes, you want the athletics to mesh with off the chart measurables... however, we have seen the league transition and have seen all types of players flourish.
I mean, Aaron Donald was undersized for his position when drafted, until he wasnt because of his dominant play.
End of the day, quality players will shine regardless.
No *****! Analytics is a tool, not the end result!

Not even close to Thurman. Looks like a 3rd round back, that can make a quick move and cut up the middle. Thurm used to carry people in the middle of the pile, and outrun them.

They have the best F-ing Salsa and tortilla chips. I live in Downtown LA and there are good mexican joints and food trucks - nothing comes close. People are willing to drive 45 minutes south to go there. LOL

Yep, but the sport is dying. No interest in about 70% of teams.
