  1. im more of a game day shout box guy. i keep a level head and mock those who say "game over" because something bad happened. i enjoy watching the games and seeing great plays from both teams, seeinh great strategies, etc. i want the Bills to win but i know every game is 50/50 so i don't get bent out of shape if they lose. i have a harder time sleeping after an awesome win.
  2. there have been 57 super bowls and not one has been won by Buffalo. guess we should all just give up. damned statistics creating reality again!
  3. The PI was the right play once he was beat. He prevented a TD that play. Then he prevented the TD on that drive with the int. Both smart plays. I hope he can improve in other areas because he has a real knack for interceptions.
  4. i agree elam is tbd. he has been injured all year. knowing this staff's penchant for training corners i think he will succeed in the end. sure would be cool if he does!
  5. The patriots wind game had a bad outcome. But we learned something: Josh can throw in that wind. We figured it out too late in that game but going forward we should not fear the wind.
  6. Maybe, maybe not. We will never know all we know is the dolphins bested the cowboys.
  7. 1% is probable? Sweet, i'm off to the casino putting it all on black 35.
  8. I agree that based on the info we have, Araiza has very likely been punished enough. We will never know. But something being legal or acceptable in the past does not make it ok today. At all. Wtf kind of argument is that? Slavery (and many other terrible things) was legal 200 years ago, and is acceptable in some countries today, so it's ok? The law is the law, cross the line don't be surprised if you get burned.
  9. When that play happened i wasn't too worried as i saw the yellow right from the get go. Didn't see our guys jump so it must have been the Chiefs. Quite possible some players thought the same in the moment and played differently thus allowing the TD. That happens pretty often. Not that it should...play to the whistle and all...but it happens.
  10. So you just gonna listen to the radio broadcasts for the next several years then?
  11. my entire point in that single post in response to Bill which was specifically about how "libraries are the one place..." was that libraries are not as locked down as he stated.
  12. it is a response to Bill's point about libraries and that is all it is. my goodness has no one used an internet forum before? must every post relate directly to the OP?
  13. sure? sometimes on internet forums you get a little off the main topic discussing side points. I was responding to BillFanNC's contention that the library "is the one place kids can't access internet porn". My logic says knowing kids have access means we should probably open some dialogue with them about what they have access to to help minimize harm. for example it was often the kids whose parents refuse to discuss alcohol, or have any difficult conversations with their kids, who became the drunkest teenagers. besides, of course, that rare ultra permissive parent who is probably an alcoholic themselves. Uh oh, now we are discussing alcohol, i hope we didn't break any internet rules...but if we did it is your fault you brought it up.
  14. there was plenty of substance, sure. but that won't sway the Ds and Rs much if at all. it's the independents that I consider when judging the way these two present themselves. i admit i have seen DeSantis debate a couple of times recently and both times i thought he came off poorly and this reaffirmed my opinion. i do care about cultural issues, but again i'm not judging these two on issues. we know where Ds and Rs stand. i agree with you about COVID, i don't know every detail of how Florida handled it but i know that the governments did a lot of damage in Canada in the name of "saving the healthcare system". they did the exact opposite. in Florida i know they lifted restrictions earlier which was good and DeSantis gets points for that. and you may be correct about his effectiveness when in office. my interest is political strategy. does the guy really have what it takes to win the presidency? i don't think he does, it's not his policy, it's the way he performs on a microphone. and again i'm not saying that is good for society but it is the reality.
  15. i doubt that, actually. kids are pretty resourceful. depends on the IT person at the library.
  16. i think so. not saying he is wrong. just saying i think it's a mistake because it looked bad.
  17. My criticism is not about what i personally find offensive. It is about what i think is a good or bad political move on a debate stage. There are books written for 2 year olds about poop and i bet you will find many in libraries. Which kinda highlights my point - the poop map was childish and makes DeSantis look weak at best, poopy at worst.
  18. Unfortunately, likeability is often more important than competence to the people that matter: the voters. that's a bad thing, but as an outsider that's what i look for when trying to gauge what i think your country will do. And i am interested in what your country does because arguably your elections affect Canada more than our own elections do.
