  1. "I thought I could take him but he just seemed so tall...."
  2. Thanks for the post! I have really come to dislike these sorts of articles. Emotionally overwrought, a deep dive into the psyche of the man, and some weird iteration of the courage it took to walk away while other players question his heart. He played competitive football at a high level for a long time. He surely knew the impact of the quit mid-game, left his coaching staff wondering if he was taking a breather or hurt, surely in the moment they wouldn't think he was quitting. I'd have no issue with the guy quitting in camp, quitting mid week, quitting at the end of the tough game. At least, no more "you couldn't have done it before or during training camp to allow the team to adjust?". My favorite part is the writer's assertion that the Bills "demanded" money back on the contract he didnt fulfill and how he didn't even care to fight it. How magnanimous of him. Screw him and his Yoko Ono future ex-wife. (Just kidding on that part, he moved on, it's his reputation and if he's cool with quititng at halftime who really cares? Thank goodness the feeling didn't come over him mid-special teams play) .
  3. I agree. Why just the other day, I visited the local library to read up on the Great Pyramids. I accessed the Dewey Decimal Clasification system to get a general idea of where to look, walked over to the section and discovered many, many books on the pyramids. Big books, small books, some with pictures, some with none, and some were about pyramids that weren't even in Egypt. I went to the front desk and spoke with the librarian, a mousey lady with her hair in a bun and glasses that seemed too large for her face, and I asked her: "What's with all the books on pyramids? Do you people really expect me to read through all of these? It's a glorified triangle!!". She told me to be stop talking so loud and get a book or not, made no difference to her. Honestly, I liked her sass and the more I looked, the more I realized she maybe had a little something going on behind all the layers so I asked her out. Turns out she was a gymnast in college and stays in shape by doing yoga to stay flexible. We're going out next week, she said something about getting out of those stuffy librarian clothes and going buck wild. Should be fun! My point is that sometimes, it's not a bad thing that there are so many books about pyramids.
  4. Based on this standard, any representative that ever appeared before a hostile committee is involved in a coverup. Even you, local chapter president of the He-Man-Trump-Hater club will acknowledge these types of hearings are an embarrassment to intelligent and fair-minded people everywhere, yes? Nadler: "With regard to page 74 of 435 of the Herr Oberfuhrer Mueller report, paragraph 7, line 4, it's obvious the President was terrified of the cover up being exposed. What other explanation would you have?". Witness: "Can you read page 74 of 435, paragraph 7, line 4?" Nadler: THIS IS ABSURD! I HAVE NO TIME TO BE SPECIFIC ON A REPORT SUMMARIZING THRER YEARS, HUNDREDS OF SUBPOENAS, HUNDREDS OF WITNESSES AND A FEW DOZEN DOORS KICKED IN! It's all very Salem witch-trialesque. Imo, Lewandowski followed the model that makes the most sense. Volunteer nothing, elaborate on nothing, respond with obvious disdain and contempt for the hacks on the committee, and leave them stewing in their own juices.
  5. Shhhhhhh--Tibs is so turned around he's complimenting the President for his ethical behavior. Let's just appreciate that we were here, in this moment in time, and saw a unicorn. Some said it was just a myth.
  6. The jump from a rookie defensive lineman scuffling with a defensive player in a one-off and drawing a flag in a winning outing to heroin usage seems extreme. Meth, maybe. But let's not get crazy here.
  7. "No faking to keep me happy" in the context of being a Bills fan is hysterical! HB, a good one to be sure.
  8. My experience has been dramatically different. The people I have met from the lower Hudson valley have been a lot like the people I grew up with in WNY. Good people who typically love their family and just talk kinda funny. In my case, lots of giant fans genuinely seem to pull for the Bills when it doesn't impact the Gmen, probably because they recognize the long-suffering nature of Bills fandom. Cant say so much about the college years, but in those days guys can be pretty stupid across the board. I do have a friend who is a mouthy jets fan though, I hadn't heard from him last week so I sent our group a text asking if anyone had seen the game because I inadvertently deleted the game after recording it during work. His reply was hysterical and if I understood him through the rant, it can be summarized as "f every living thing". Thank you Josh Allen!
  9. Oh that's not all at all. He deserves more!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...
  10. I agree only if 45 is the new 80. We agree on Biden. He's a 2x× nomination loser for a reason, and coherence is part of that because at times he seems very likable.
  11. I guess I'm confused on hold Sanders appears to be on your tv? He presents as about 87 on my screen, even with the man-of-the-people-absent-minded professor shtick he's perfected on his way to becoming a filthy rich politician. I think Biden looks pretty good all things considered. He clearly didn't go to Maury's Wig Emporium for the weave, whatever nips and tucks he's had probably weren't done in Scranton, and he keep himself in good shape. It's when he starts talking that it all falls apart, and the bloodied eyeball isn't a great look.
  12. To stop people from gaming the system, you would have to shoot them right after you gave them the $1000 and take it back. See comments like "you would almost want to be disabled, if that makes sense.". The pitch is based on the theory that if enough people think a vote for Randy Andy is a vote for $12,000, maybe enough people want the $12k that Randy Andy carries the day. And heck if they can pull off "disabled" it's like Christmas every day.
  13. You gotta negotiate with 'em Bobbaloo. Call back, tell them you're writing a number on a napkin for them to look at. Then video yourself sliding it to them and flip the napkin over for effect. Always works, especially if your number is higher than theirs.
  14. I think the whole idea of a civil lawsuit is to get a nice settlement, or in the alternative, a nice award. The fact that she wants to pursue that avenue could mean anything from "I don't want to put myself through the grinder of a criminal matter but I want his head on a platter" to she's a spurned woman who wants to cash in. Hard to say. There are some large pharmaceutical companies headquartered in--- Ah, never mind.
  15. 1975, and wear bell bottoms with clogs so you look savvy.
  16. I had Howard Stern on as well, on my way to get my car washed. I tuned on to hear them talking about a plane accidentally hitting the tower and as they spoke, I believe Robyn Quivers said "another plane just hit the tower" followed by Howard's declaration "We're under attack!". We lost some people in our extended circle. A friend lost his childhood friend who we'd hung out with over the years, an employee at Cantor. Another friend lost their soon-to-be daughter-in-law. We have close friends who live in a NJ town that lost many people. And the other stories, the near misses--our neighbors own a liquor store and were on the train in for a wine tasting at the Trade center, and if I remember correctly the event was on the top floor, outside maybe? Got down as far as White Plains when the attacks occurred. What a $#!@ing crazy time.
  17. I would have supported charges being brought against Gronk. The "heat of the moment" defense works for many cases imo, slamming a guy's head into the ground when he's laying face down after a play is not one of them. When you cause injury on top of it, f gronk.
  18. Using this standard though, what could ever be said that wouldn't be meaningless? Its football. I have to feed my family. Do your job. The Buffalo Beels are a good football team. 55 is the Mike! Omaha Omaha! I jack my d#@! on your back! Slept with u n bed. All pretty much the same old hash.
  19. If this story impacts his availability on game day I say vive le justice!
  20. I'd like to hear what Anderson was thinking when he found himself outside the play, on the ground, after the ball was thrown and he crawled over and rolled onto the QBs legs. What was he feeling? Anger? Angst? Frustration? When we get to know a person, we can judge him by the content of his character and not the color of his uniform. I think he's probably just misunderstood.
  21. Weird. I think I somehow got the link from Jim Lovell speaking with Mission Control from Apollo 13. He didn't seem as arrogant in the movie.
  22. Well they are identical twins. In may not have mentioned that.
  23. When the defense plays as well as they id yesterday, cannot one reasonably infer that the coaches are doing a good job with scheme and personnel?
