With a timely and entirely appropriate link, too.

I think this is just a mixup with the Dewey decimal system. At .09c a pop, I think the math says 327,411 Cincinnati fans donated. There may actually be more lesser donors at more lesser amounts, where we have lesser better donors at more better amounts. Still, all money donated to charity arrives on angel wings.

Thanks—sounds reasonable for the situation. We had miAmi In Miami circled this year to attend again. It was awesome last year.

What was the nature of the warning when you spoke to the occupants of the other vehicle? Ticket? Ejected from the parking lot/game? And just for kicks, how close were the cars parked together? I went to Miami last year for the game but rode the shuttle from the hotel. I really have no idea how that’s all set up. My assumption is they would encourage adequate spacing between vehicles so as folks exited they weren’t in close proximity.

In fairness, he’s got a point. Bills fans make a lot of the 12 wins so far this year, but let’s not forget that every game was tied early. Did you ever stop to think that had the Bills not ended any one of those games with more points than the opponent, the team might not have had those wins? I hadn’t really thought about it until now, but man, we dodged a bullet by scoring more points than the other team.

I had another post here but it turned up missing. I think it’s amazing that 6,700 fans can attend this game, that the families of players can finally go, and that there will still be room for people that are very important to attend as well. Everyone wins.

I’m sorry, but with red zones and hot zones everywhere, this decision to treat a football game like it really matters (given the state of the nation at this time) is one of the many reasons people don’t believe and/or follow the protocol. We have gone from don’t spend Thanksgiving with your family and no fans anywhere to suddenly, as if by magic everyone is going to arrive at the stadium by teleportation. On top of that, the governor of one of the worst pandemically challenged states in the Union has decreed that he and his will jet in to watch the game in person while tens of thousands can suck it at home. Of course, open-air teleportation of supposedly COVID-free folks (who don’t fill gas tanks or visit the local food store and surely aren’t married to anyone ever exposed to COVID) is fine, but they are forbidden from standing at their car, mask on, cooking a burger because THAT is the super spreader. The message being sent is the same type of perverted message sent over the past 9 months—-we could all die, so stay the 🤬home, unless your team makes the playoffs.

So in the last several weeks, John B goes down for a bit, ready to come back and out again. Cole B injures his leg and is week to week. Beane and McD are planning for whatever might shake out over the next several weeks. We have a gamer at Qb who can virtually hot every throw and you need the horses to catch the ball. May mean nothing at all about Beasley or Brown, but it’s a smart move for a team that wants to win it all.

The entire world moves on opinions and speculation. Hit me up next time a reporter sends out a story based on anonymous sources and speculation and you're demanding all the underlying data for in-depth scientific analysis. In fact, if you really want to get to the meat of any matter, let's acknowledge something else. Using the Mueller Report as an example, none of us have seen the underlying evidence or data that lead to whatever conclusions he came to that vindicated Trump. I have no way of knowing if the investigation was impartial, fair or even competent--I just know what was said and how it was interpreted. Besides, I'm not making accusations, I'm offering observations based on the man Biden was, and the tired old man he is today. I don't need an in-depth neurological screening profile prepared by the crack staff at Johns Hopkins to see a marked difference between Biden v Ryan and Biden v Trump debates, for example. I don't need to give him the benefit of the doubt when it comes to him thinking he's running against someone named "George" when his opponent has one of the most recognizable non-George names on the planet. The fact that Dr. Jill has to feed him the name is troubling to me. Who's going to be there when he refers to Vladimir Putin as Skip, Ted, or Billy Bob? When he forgets the words to the Declaration of Independence, written into a speech he prepared and practiced to deliver, it's on him, not on me. By the way, age catches up with us all if we live long enough. It doesn't make him a bad human being that he struggles, it just makes him a remarkably bad choice for president. Someone here said they would have voted for a ham sammy before casting a vote for Trump--the good news is I think they got one. Again--feel free to insist on a full workup with blood vitals and MRI screening before you even remotely consider the guy is fading fast. I don't criticize you for that, I think it's funny.

I knew you couldn't quit me! I do not have access to anyone's medical records beyond my own. You know that. Also, I simply offered that it was a 'distinct possibility' that this was the case. My evidence is anecdotal and comes from comparing the Scranton Mauler of yesteryear to the tired, old, and often confused old man I see today. If you see him as having the same vigor and intellectual capacity as always, well God Love Ya Man, Ya got steel in your spine! You seem to want to stamp out dialogue here, and I can't understand why.

Awesome post, thanks for the catch as it points out what I was explaining to @Tiberius yesterday. In Biden's world, there's no 'unity' in the traditional sense, there's only politicking and jockeying for position. The sad part is that this is pretty much SOP for all politicians at that level, but Tibsy's partisan slant makes it impossible for him to see. Biden points the direction, Tibsy sets off smiling as directed. Though--and I don't want to risk the ire of @oldmanfan here, but it seems distinctly possible that Biden really has no idea about what's going on. One issue common to folks as they age is the loss of short term memory. This sort of discrepancy could be explained by that, especially given that Biden didn't get into specifics as to what he was claiming--just broad and sweeping statements that he was being blocked out. Again, that's fairly common in the elderly, isn't it? Feeling insecure, thinking folks are out to get them. I think we would all agree we should keep an eye on this, especially because, you know, unity.

Not cool, Satin.

There was no reason to allow the Rooskies to remain in our country before or immediately after the election, nor to allow the highest ranking murderous thug to remain in country. It defies logic that our great enemy would be allowed to shelter in place for 2,900 of 2,922 days of Obama's term, especially in light of the fact that Russian interference in our elections process predates 2016 by decades. But maybe Biden will get lucky and DJT will expel some foreign adversaries in the next couple of weeks. That's what friends do, right?

I'm trying to meet some of you guys in the middle here for the sake of unity. Unfortunately, @oldmanfan is upset that I have concerns about the oldmanjoe's mental health, and you think that it's cool to poke a bear by expelling some, but not all, murderous thugs and creating a sh^tstorm that your predecessor has to clean up. Knowing what was to come on the Trump=treason hoax, and knowing Obama and Biden were knuckles deep in the scam, what he did was so incredibly reckless as to be unthinkable. Biden has been a politician for decades. He's playing you because you're easily played.

You're the one who claimed prior admins always left roses and Mallow Cups for the incoming admin before DJT. That's morphed into a defense of Obama that simply holds no water based on your own standards. Why didn't Obama expel all Russian personnel in our country if everyone who works for Putin since they have blood on his/her hands? Was Sergey Kislyak one of the murderous thugs, because he sure seems to have stuck around? In fact, I'd bet the embassy was chock full of people that worked for Putin even after the international incident was created. If you think Obama acted in the best interests of the country by expelling certain Russians as he was turning the lights off and leaving the building, it should be easy enough to say. What says 'I'm here to help' more than dumping hand-selected Russians roughly 112 hours before the new guy assumes the mantle of leadership of the free world? Yet, you seem reluctant. It's odd.

If Obama expelled 'murderous spies' there would be nothing to discuss, though I would think expulsion at the 11th hour of his 8 years in office would be way down the list of legal action against 'murderous spies'. I think we can move on.

You're being presumptuous, and you have no right to ask that of me. I understand how you feel, I think you're wrong. I don't think it's even particularly close, and these issues extend beyond the classic Biden simple faux pas.

Maybe...maybe not, but it's an interesting perspective. On the other hand, maybe you should think your posts through before you say silly things like 'remember when..' if they make no sense. The question remains: Was expelling the red horde on 12/29/2016 in the waning days of the Obama administration, creating a major mess for the incoming administration in dealing with a foreign adversary an example of doing what's right for the country? It was your point, not mine.

What's ironic? Tibsy wrote "...Remember when--before Trump--we all at least could do what was good for the country..." and I reminded him that he forgot to remember the last election cycle. His reply was to ignore it, and reference Trump's punkishness. Punkish or not--and I still don't see where Biden provided any specifics as he raged on--the facts are a matter or record. In fact, it wasn't a week or two after he expelled Rooskies that he and Biden were briefed on the Clinton's fingerprints all over the Steele dossier. First, I'm not sure who 'we' is. Second, 'like' has nothing to do with it. I don't like Obama, Clinton(s), Pelosi, Schiff, Mitt Romney, Lindsay Graham 4 days out of 7, and scores of others. You go ahead and feel free to link prior comments I've made about their mental acuity. Second, I received speech therapy for a stutter as a child (to the extent there was speech therapy for a stutter back in the day), and have great empathy for people with those struggles. Imo, you do a disservice to those that truly struggle when you write off some of Biden's obvious miscues to a problem with stuttering. I understand why Biden plays that card, he's a politician who will say just about anything to win the vote. I understand you wanting to dismiss his issues--you voted for the guy and in spite of Trump's flaws, I'm surprised that you would not demand a better candidate than this old husk of a man. The best way to rationalize it may be to fall back on a stuttering problem to explain some things flat out unexplainable. Finally, while I won't commit to ignoring issues with his cognitive decline, I will attempt to clean up some of the one liners like the one I included above. It didn't add to the point I was making, but was otherwise harmless. Biden is a shell of the man he was four short years ago, and even more substantially impaired relative to his debate with Paul Ryan 8 years ago. That's fair game and shouldn't bother you in the least if you're stalwart in your defense of his mental capacity.

What’s not new is that your partisanship is showing. I’ve read a couple different sources and all I can find is Biden complaining about certain agencies with no specifics. Given his issues with mental acuity we cannot even be certain if he was actually at the right meeting. I provided commentary about Obama expelling diplomats 22 days or so before an incoming admin took over because you talked about membering how awesome presidents always are. We cannot heal if you’re not introspective.

I actually had a Moog ring back in the day. I And seriously—Harry Chaplin? I was introduced to his music after his death when I went to college in 1982ish. He had played the year or two before and most of my new friends (and my future wife) had seen him and said it was a great show. Love that stuff.

It sounds like Biden is screaming at some local kids to get off his lawn. What specifically is he yelling at George about? Because now that you mention 'membering...member 4 years ago tomorrow when Barrack and Joe B expelled Rooskies and created an international incident for the incoming admin? I do. That was some stone cold munchin. Joe will be fine. He's been an insider since '73 when Elton first told us about the Crocodile Rock.

How about that! Btw, notable alum, I see William Sadler, he of Shawshank Fame is a Buffalo guy. I’ve seen him many, many movies. Very cool, and another reason to like Shawshank. Fauci is a name I’ve heard once or twice—👍

https://cornellbigred.com/sports/wrestling/roster/yianni-diakomihalis/47967 I won’t do the heavy lifting to google other notable alum, but pre-COVID this young man was in his way to a shot at his third straight NCAA Wrestling championship. Rochester area young man—nice kid and tough as nails.

Jesus you’re getting dumber (politically speaking) as we speak. Trump was guilty of treason but a half dozen career prosecutors and the former director of the FBI couldn’t find it over a 3 year slug??🤣🤣🤣 As for your side voting, I’m torn on why many of you voted that way. I know many voted as you did because they saw Mueller et al’s inability to charge DJT with so much as an overpaid parking ticket as clear evidence he’s guilty of treason. That makes a perverted kind of sense, just as you laid out above. No treason is the obvious treason of all. I’ve come to believe a large percentage of his supporters probably gave less than a crap about that though. Biden’s obvious ties to China are problematic, but folks like cheap foreign goods and don’t much care whether it costs other American jobs, the cheap goods come at the expense of worker rights/child labor or corporate espionage. I mean Tibsy Junior has to have the latest Nikes to hoop like a star, right? I think a substantial percentage of woke white middle class voters were drawn in by the forgive-a-debt gambit. The impact of making someone else accountable for your lifestyle choices and financial mismanagement has to be pretty intoxicating for some. I read somewhere here a lament that someone’s choices with respect to higher Ed was impacting his ability to do other stuff he really wanted to do, and that wasn’t right. In the end, it doesn’t matter I suppose whether the vote was cast because no treason actually means treason, or Joe can wipe away some really inconvenient financial obligations with a swipe of a pen. I recall you saying you earned your education through military commitment, which was kind of cool to see. Anyway—you’re 100% correct—you all done worked to help Biden prevail over George.
