    And... Kills roads, infrastructure. 

     

    Where would the tax revenue for the roads come from to ride your bicycle on if everyone did that and the fuel taxes plummeted?  Roads are funded @ around 25mpg for optimal care & upkeep.

     

    Yeah... I get it, it works for the few. 

     

    How should we fund laying asphalt & concrete? 

     

    It's liberating because you're not kicking into the fund.

     

    (OF course how they manage these funds is left for another debate)

     

    That's it...Im selling all my bikes and buying a 1972 Caddy Fleetwood with a 472 cubic inch engine with a bad tuneup and underinflated tires to help save the roads and infrastructure.

    Best car I ever owned was a 2007 Acura TSX. I had two of them. It was a made in Japan Honda with flawless workmanship, had all the suspension and performance upgrades that came standard with Acura, and that amazing Honda port injected K24 motor, kicking out over 200hp. Rock solid, great looks, easy to work on and a pleasure to operate.

    Bills Need To Learn To Play Tougher

    I do agree with the OP that our backups should get more playing time when we are up, say, 31-3 in the third quarter.

     

    Why not let those guys get some reps, and protect our starters from getting pointless injuries in garbage time?

     

    Becuase its really not "garbage time" until the other team concedes.

    Dude stop.  I’ve seen cars blatantly blow through red lights/stop signs maybe 10-15 times in all the years I e been driving.  I haven’t counted but I’ve probably seen a few hundred thousand cars at stop signs obeying the law.  I’ve seen countless….I mean countless…..bicycles blow through road signs, including passing lines of stopped cars.  More seem to disobey than obey but that part is admittedly anecdotal.
     

    If the line of stopped cars is long enough, the car in front can’t possibly see the bike approaching, but God forbid the car take a perfectly legal right on red and get hit on the passenger side resulting in comically flying yellow spandex.   Then their will be trouble from the Saab spandex douche or some like minded mental midget.

     

    Im convinced youre a cylist, yourself. So....you a SRAM or Shimano man and whats your general opinion of GRoad?

    So why was Amari Cooper traded twice in his prime?

    I think the vast majority care more than you think they do.   Because they dont process the loss the same as a fan or the way you think they should does not mean they care less.  What should they do, go to Burger King, then home and kick their dog and treat their family like crap?  

     

    I understand. I just mean they aint all....Stephon Diggs. Its their job and their profession. And like any other workplace, theres a whole host of personalities. 

     

    The example I use above is a real one. If you recall the Vikings at home heartbreaker of a loss a few years ago, the next day Von Miller was at his presser and was going on about how he, and Josh and a few other players and their girls all went out after the game to some popular high end Italian place and how much of a great night they had.  I mean...the entire Bills Mafia was seeing sideways from an all time terrible (regular season) loss, meanwhile a lot of the team was out having a good time.  Their approach isnt ours becuase its their job. YES, they work hard and are passionate about their craft. But there is this transactional element becuase it is their job. And just becuase some players are more "transactional" than others, that doesnt make them substandard or bad players you dont want on the team.

    Yeah, it is the kind of comment by the OP, vague, no definition of what that 'extreme passion' means, no criteria stated for that trait--and ZERO actual evidence, facts, on why Cooper does not have that mysterious quality Mr. Dog so desires.

     

    Add it all up and it just a smear job on Cooper, clearly. Pretty shameful to lambast our new  5 time Pro Bowl receiver, pulling things out of one's kiester--and presenting them as facts and analysis.

     

     

    I dont know if its a "smear job" or just looking to poke holes in a trade that even the Pope feels was a great move by the Bills. But either way...players come in all shapes and sizes and demeanors. As long as they perform.  I mean...we just got done with a player who was such a nutjob he would rant to the poor slob on the sidelines holding the tv microphones about the game. Now we have the opposite and thats a "problem" now? 

     

    As far as his "catch percentage", Cooper is not perfect but his overall production is great. ALways amazing how some fans want the players to just be PERFECT in all respects. Its so weird.

    I have to be honest, I really dont care about a player's "passion for the game", whether he's a football lifer or just in it for the paycheck. The fact of the matter is that for most players, its the latter. Not that they dont care or are lazy, but at the end of the day, it is their job. Its why that even after tough losses...and the fans are all pulling our hair out over and yelling about it here or on WGR...the players and their girls are partying it up at a club somewhere or having a top dinner and fine wine at Buffalo's best restaurants.
