i'm canadian, ergo an "outsider". and...there is equal and there is equal. yes they are two different situations but at the heart of it it's "were gonna get your guy" and then "oh yeah well because you got our guy we'll get your guy." i suspect it will continue down that path.

As an outsider, this is all quite simple. It is nothing more than tit for tat. And I'm for it. Put these politicians on notice that their crooked ways will not be tolerated. The problem is following through which it seems will not happen. With any luck, the presidential debates with takes place in jail, wouldn't that be fun! Fol added bonus, Trump and Biden can share a cell and work out their differences.

Now that we are doing the short game, we are getting more yac. What's the problem?

An insightful comment. Thank you for your contribution.

the hallmark of a great board member. i miss crayonz

Indeed we shall see

Did I? I only suggested that the jets being without AR makes it easier for us.

Yes losing sucks. But in the grand scheme of this season i'm not sure what is better, winning that jets game with Rogers still intact or losing with the jets season being destroyed. Of course I lean win because winning is never bad. But considering the Jets could very well have challenged us for a playoff spot with Rogers around, Floyd's play may have been more important than winning. And yeah, i'd prefer we go 17-0 but the truth is bills dolphins jets are all contenders and there is only so much room. The jets are almost certainly out of the way now.

Dude just needs to chill

is there a contest for most question marks in a post title or something? ????????

arrrrrrrrrrrr since my first BBS visit in...i dunno like 1990? like the hydra, cut off a head two grow back. sharing will always be around.

debating measures, vaccine mandates, that makes sense. but to call covid a common cold is just wrong and kind of a jerky dismissive move. having almost lost my father to COVID (2 mos icu, 8 mos total hospital stay) i can tell you it is most certainly not a common cold. debate how we deal with COVID, thats fine, but stop lying about what COVID is and can do to the human body.

True, but there are many others who claim the moral high ground. Most people, probably.

While i agree with your assessment re the bs of claiming moral high ground, if that defines evil then most people are evil.

So do parents get to decide or not? Are these "children in the area" orphans?

how much less could you care?

Oh i see very little positive in the MLB situation, only that given where we are at i'm glad we have a relatively competent defensive mind to help mask that weakness. But this thread is about mcd being dc and hc. I already listed some positives i can think of. Andysplaylist has another thought which is interesting. There must be a reason why some very good head coaches have done the same (or in reid's case hc and oc but you get the idea). They won the superbowl multiple times doing so, if being hc and dc/oc was so full of negatives it likely wouldn't have worked out that way.

obviously. but there are positives that haven't been discussed much or at all. i'm interested in discussing those. whether it's net positive we shall see.

lots of negatives posted so far. fair enough. but we should also consider the positives of the dual role. for one thing, when McD is making decisions be they head coach decisions or DC decisions, being in the dual role can help him make better decisions. for example. a decision to go for it on 4th and 7 may be complimented by his knowledge of which plays he has in mind for the defense should the attempt fail. he may not need to call one of his famous "see what the offense is doing" time outs having complete knowledge of the current playcall on defense. defensive playcalls might be made with more "total game" context in mind. i'm sure there are more ways being both DC and HC is complimentary rather than burdensome.

to answer your question, likely some time in the early 90s.

If i had to choose, i would definitely be against white collar cheating more than welfare cheating. But my post wasn't about me, it was about the reality for others who the song is speaking to.

i did not say i am against cheaters. and no i am not for trump.

he may have overshared but you still really don't know much about him. not enough to draw much of a conclusion about how his life brought him to write this song. it seems to me he is genuine at least. the sentiment resonates. plenty of people feel the same way about welfare - that there are cheaters. it's actually a rather basic, obvious view. there isn't much to dissect.

1. The board will overreact. 2. This board never disappoints.
