SectionC3

Don’t forget the Kelly-Reed love triangle. That didn’t go over so well.

Maybe they pulled out late. Whatever. They’re entitled to do as they see fit. Maybe, too, they don’t want children to suffer and simply prefer not to be associated with a scumbag like Trump. It’s absurd to suggest that there’s a correlation between preferences for disassociation with Trump and the suffering of minors.

Nope. It’s capitalism. Personally I have boycotted BL/AB for other reasons. If you don’t want to buy their product(s), that’s totally cool with me. And if ECMC or anyone else doesn’t want to sponsor an event held at a Trump property, that’s fine, too. The Poyers can whine all they want, as can all the people who are upset about the drop in BL sales. (And I can ignore their whining, which I intend to do, as Rachel Bush is high on the list of people who need to shut the eff up.) Such is America and capitalism.

Says Mr. LGBTHCQ …

This thread is yet another MAGA hoax.

The longer this lingers the more I begin to wonder whether we may not be out on this after all.

So . . . The inanimate object has a heart, which was conveyed there by the user of said object, and the inanimate object becomes one with that heart? Sounds like a hoax. You read Luke 22:36 in isolation. Jesus subsequently says “enough” when presented with the point that the listeners have two swords. Jesus is instructing the listeners that they will be subject to danger as they preach, and that they should protect themselves with the sword of SPIRIT.

Agreed. Play stupid games, get stupid prizes.

Assuming that device has a heart - which would be a little weird, but MAGA is fine with perverting the truth, so I'll roll with it - probably fear and violence. Matthew 26:52 says hoax. I realize that your interpretation of the Bible is unique and twisted, but that verse is hard to misconstrue.

How do you think Jesus feels about your AR-15?

I don’t know about this approach. I don’t doubt that the Bills beat guys have an idea what happened. But they won’t report on it because the team doesn’t want it out there. They’re not controlled by the team, but they don’t mess with the organization because they need the access the organization provides. The bigger question, in my mind, when I read the Volin article is who is the leaker and why. The operative theory here is that it’s someone who wants to shake Diggs out of Buffalo. Sow a little dissension in the ranks here, if you will. So who would be a “source close to the locker room,” but not in the room, want Diggs out of Buffalo (for the source’s own benefit), maybe have an axe to grind with McD (or not, it’s not essential to the theory), and have and use a Boston connection to throw the less devious off of the scent (in other words, use somebody not local to Buffalo or to his current location, lest suspicion be cast upon him)? The prime suspect here is Brian Daboll. I don’t doubt for a moment that he still talks to people here. And I’m sure there’s other people there who still talk to folks in Buffalo. It’s my understanding that he was close with Diggs when he was here, and I think there’s obvious upside on his end to shaking Diggs out of Buffalo. He spent a lot of time in NE and has at least access to Volin. And, as the chef’s kiss, he gets to mess with McD a little bit if he so desires.

Unless it’s in the Babylon Bee these guys don’t bother with it. I clicked the link. I don’t pay attention to polls this far out because they really don’t matter all that much unless a party is looking to dump a candidate. Trump’s trashing of the Quinnipiac poll is additional evidence that the leopard isn’t going to change his spots. Everything is fake, according to Trump, unless it benefits him. This guy is nothing more than a plague.

Probably HCQ and Ivermectin, if I know anything about our MAGA friends who post here.

It was done before the KC game. Daboll left work early (I believe) the day Schoen was hired to smoke cigars to celebrate.

I wish hall would sell his house. The backyard is an eyesore. I’m fine if they don’t want to live here; just sell the place to someone who will weed whack.

I never thought of this before but, in hindsight, maybe we would have been better off burning one of the timeouts we wasted during 13 seconds to square up on the kickoff plan. I’m starting to wonder, too, if 13 seconds is going to be a pall that disrupts this year, too.

Maybe on the “off the record” stuff. But assume for a moment that the GF was the only one acting out. Then assume that the BF declined to press charges. Under that scenario, no report and plenty of privacy. And, ultimately, I’m not sure how founded your skepticism is here.

I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt. There’s other ways to look pleasant without investing the emotional energy of teaching.

Wow. I don’t know what to say. Other than maybe “CONGRESS shall make no law …”

That assumes any call went to 911 and that resounding officers had body cams in and engaged. What if—and this is PURELY conjecture—a Bills player in a non-emergent situation called the Bills head of security, who in turn called a contact in LE for “advice,” who in turn handled response from there?

There’s no choice here. Toe the line in the media or get cut out. Remember when McD lost it on Buscaglia (I think) over something about a fake punt? Here the scribes take it. In a bigger market, not so much. Or, if they do eat it, they get a scoop in return.

To your point the media and the locals protect the Bills. Printing/publication of something salacious like this (assuming the sordid details are true) = end of access to the team. (Which is sort of absurd, really, because the PR department gives the local media guys nothing.) And, historically, the locals (be they in OP, EA, WS, or Hamburg) have kept certain salacious matters either to themselves or out of the news out of courtesy to the Bills and out of respect for privacy. Along those lines, all of the stuff that Jeremy White is saying today about Diggs maybe being in the right here - it’s not by accident. He knows something. What it is he knows I have no idea—I suspect that it relates to Diggs’s desire to have the same buy-in from others that Diggs provides, and for Diggs to have the same say as others who might be less dedicated than Diggs. But I strongly suspect that, if he takes something public and the Bills deem it out of school, Bills PR would be all over Audacy, which in turn should be all over White.

Thai sounds about right to me. I have no idea on the apology piece. But I’m stuck on the idea that he wants more buy in and less drama from Allen and is not cool with whatever went down at the end of last year.

Finding out and expressing anger are different things.

I can't speak to your piece of the story and whether what the unstated but fairly apparent details are true, but there is another part of what I'll call the global tale of woe that I have on good authority to be true. None of the salacious stuff matters, except insofar as it could explain Diggs's sideline frustration with Allen during the Bengals playoff game and part of what seems to be the fizzure in their relationship.
