Here's the thing. Most people have lost someone they love, care about or know to some unfortunate set of events. Cancer, heart disease, accident etc. This is a thread about a guy that did his thing and reached a lot of people. You'll get well-intentioned people with suggestions that some might feel are "over the top", but really, why waste the energy in a thread dedicated to the man? The Bills will do something, or not. Life goes on, his passing is a tragedy for his family. If a fan on a message board is touched enough by his story to suggest they name a few seats after him, where's the harm? I'm sure he would agree there are many, many people more deserving of such an honor than he was--it's not a reflection on them or their loss. This one's about a guy named Ezra who played hard and caught a tough break. He had some style though.

Trump is hurting Buffalo The real story is how he started the big hurt back in the 1960s, and planned the whole mass exodus strategy to make it look like high income tax, high sales tax, high property tax & crappy weather 4 months a year were NOT the American dream.

May he sleep comfortably tonight on a waterbed filled with the salty-tears of broken-hearted bills fans, his head on a pillow stuffed with benjamins. No hard feelings EJ, you seem like a good guy.

Barrack Obama slow jammed with Jimmy Fallon, personally imagined hundreds of thousands of jobs coming 9-10 years after he was elected, and set the stage for business leaders to acknowledge Trump's role in deregulation and tax cuts for middle class Americans. He rightly should take credit for the Chinese tariff blow back and rest assured it IS part of His master plan. I'm boycotting Ho Lee Fuk's Chinese Emporium as payback. HELL NO TO GENERAL TSO! HELL NO TO GENERAL TSO!

6 months of paid family leave for birth of a child. Yowza.

Two quick questions: How on earth did you get 40 years in by age 55; and Would you support a change to your pension whereby your benefit was frozen but you worked until the normal retirement age of 67? One of the challenges of federal/state employment to the taxpayer is the combination of retirement way too early & too many employees in the system.

From the people that bring you "free education" and "forgive student debt!", the scenario you described is really just a step or two further into insanity.

Correct. Take at-risk money from the equities market, move it into a failing government scheme and issue the recipient a "guarantee monthly payout". redistribution naturally follows.

I didn't see the clip, just wondering what he said when Anderson Cooper asked him the obvious follow up?

Interesting approach. Brennan reaching out with an olive branch to the good and decent people who trump hoodwinked, v the previous narrative that everyone not in their camp is deplorable and irredeemable. Seems to me the water he's in is starting to boil....

My goodness, are you joking? When you're a pretend governor you're not responsible for all the people in your state. As pretend president, there are 350m people across the country you lay awake at night not worrying about. It must be overwhelming.

I don't understand why any pretend-Governor of Georgia would ever want the stress of Pretend-President of the USA.

I think you might worry too much about what other people worry about. "Live your truth and don't let nobody tell you nothing different" --Miley Cyrus

Actually I think that is exactly what he said, and he and his family members should answer for this sort of vile hate speech. (I didn't bother to listen or fact check, just trying out the lib self-hypnosis DVD I bought on Amazon the other day.)

Outstanding post. Thank you.

I don't think you are even remotely considering how all of this makes people feel. People are hurting.

I didn't make the connection. In fairness, I usually don't. Sorry, my bad.

"Sorry, my bad."??? What's this all about? Are you sick?

I'm envisioning 700 old guys wandering back into the office, telling all the kids how things used to be back in the day, and sharing their wisdom on how much things have changed for the worse. This is always followed by the awkward silence when everyone involved realizes that it's sad to be unable to let go, to relive the glory days that weren't all that glorious, and the stark realization that in most cases a "former federal prosecutor" is best described as just another guy with an opinion.

Bob, it's the old adage "It's not your innocence, it's that you had the audacity to fight back" that comes to mind here. I think most observers who follow this sort of thing would say you never, ever volunteer anything, and you never assume that just because you're innocent that your political enemies won't try to gut you like a fish. The reality is that that no one would cooperate, innocent or guilty. You don't prove your innocence by being submissive to your enemy. I am 100% on board with executive privilege and declining to voluntarily assist the jackals withh anything. F 'em.

I live in the Albany area and was downtown last summer. While waiting for my daughter to finish a meeting, I sat in front of the Capitol building in the photo from the article on a nice sunny day. I wanted to head up the front steps of that incredibly beautiful building just to walk the path that so many famous Americans had tread previously, unfortunately, there were barricades up front preventing ordinary citizens like me from doing so. No notes, no apparent construction, just a cold steel barrier and quite a few cops around the area. I did wonder what might happen if I jumped the...let's call it a wall...and made my way to the top. Would law enforcement come and harass me, maybe ask me for my...let's call them papers? Would good old Andy Cuomo intervene on my behalf? I decided not not to risk it. I'm not Andy's type of NYer. Fair enough, but when Cuomo first broke the news of the decrease in revenue, he sounded troubled by it. I'm not one to suggest he's scared or panicking, but he most definitely sounded unsettled. for all their reassurance, nearly $4bill is a damn chunk of money they most definitely need to keep this little 3 Card Monty game rolling.

Well, we have Trump as a Russian plant with no evidence, Kavanaugh as the conductor on a high school r train, and a MSM that seems perfectly comfortable perpetuating whatever narrative the dems spin. No allegation is too low, no report too unsavory. My bet is no, it's not going to end, and it's going to get worse. I have to tell you, it really creeps me out to even type the train comment. It's nothing to laugh about, and I'd have never believed a political party would have tried to run with something that vile (and so callous where actual victims are concerned) if I hadn't seen it happen.

It's quite a world the dems live in. Attempt to brand a president a traitor to the country, use media sources to spread disinformation, work to assign a SC to perpetuate the fraud, and watch it all evaporate when the only traitors to be found are members of their own cabal. Then, feign outrage over the thought crimes and trot out some ridiculous statement about some nameless insiders purporting to be outraged over charges that would never pass muster. Kavanaugh hearing where a good and decent public servant is torn to shreds. Trump, a less good and less decent man is branded a traitor based on nothing more than conjecture and political animus. I am really struggling to think how the old school dems with standards could support these leftists. I know many will, but what's the next new low for them--public hangings?

Excellent point Mr. Foxx.
