Dr. Who

You're easily one of the more intelligent and amiable opposing team posters we've had come by. Thanks for your contributions . . . but don't forget to lose on Sunday

Evil, at bottom, is imbecilic.

I don't think this is the progressive default position. Also, I'm not really comfortable with you being correct about something.

28 - 17 Bills. We're gonna shock the world.

That dude you are responding to basically outed himself as a Cheatriots fan when he got terribly upset when folks sad not nice things about Tom Brady after Sunday night.

You are right about the mediocrity of the Cowboys, but I think performing well before a national audience on perhaps the most watched game behind the Super Bowl is meaningful. The players knew the attention the game was going to get and they didn't freeze up under the bright lights. On the contrary, they played well and Allen showed composure and smart play throughout. I believe that is meaningful, though the next three weeks will discover how truly significant the growth in confidence is.

I think a grown man shouldn't be called Booger.

Honestly, I don't mind being that kind of bored.

Just make sure you lose the last game of the season, but feel free to win any of the others.

If the Bills turn into a dynamic winning team and Josh Allen is the real deal, they will be a significant draw. The Bills of a few years back were not that.

Welcome and great story. Perfect avatar, btw.

So, Chandler says Mayberry and GoBillsDallas comes up with pin up retro kitchen nostalgia kitsch. (No complaints, but the turkey is going to get cold I think.) Now let's just take the Boys to the woodshed on national TV and it will be just about perfect.

Yep. Writing them off, just terrible.

You and Hapless going back and forth is the PBS of football talk. Really good stuff.

I sorta wondered if calling folks idiots was a copywrite infringement, but yes, life is so unfair. John Brennan explains this every day as he rakes in a large salary to propagandize the ignorant and culpably imbecilic.

He's over in the PPP forum generally being wrong there as well.

The White House also controls Google, MSNBC, and CNN. Boy, folks are idiots.

I recall hearing that he literally represents Hollywood. They'll probably give him an honorary Oscar for his dramatic portrayal of what he wishes Trump had said to Ukraine.

Yes, I know. My point was that the debased ideological worldview either embraced or nihilistically employed as a means of manipulation by those running the show cannot sustain for a prolonged historical period even sham civilization.There's only so far technological mastery can take you. The cosmos is much more mysterious than a mere positivist, utilitarian scientism can grasp and eventually the attempt to build a coherent society around such a limited understanding of reality with the proviso that one allows innumerable individualist, subjective "add-ons" so long as they don't interfere with the dominant power structure (i.e., "liberal tolerance") will fail. The snowflakes are not capable of institutions that truly allow for human flourishing, achievement, and tradition which properly understood is not a sluggish, reactionary instinct, but the passing forward of vital principles that permit memory and imagination to construct novel futures that maintain the authentic goods of the past as living realities. So, in short, I don't think "they" will be around centuries from now to spew lies and dim-witted fables. Either civilization will have recovered or we will fall into a dark ages incapable of supporting even the simulacra of academic life.

"You have a republic if you can keep it." The historians who will conclude this farce a permanent blemish on Trump are a hypothetical lacking consequence. We are, indeed, already mainly technologically sophisticated barbarians, but if civilization in any substantial sense persists generations into the future, the institutions of learning will have had to renew themselves with respect to truth and the integrity of inquiry. If that happens, the scourge of history will be the decadence of congress, the absolute cynicism of the chattering class, and the corruption of ruling elites pandering to a debased, demotic appetite for a simplistic ideological world picture. The real villains are the wealthy leftists engaged in an oligarchic will-to-power that abuses the Constitution for political expediency.

Tom Brady must have bet the Texans.

Don't worry. Lots of weird folks here. You fit right in.

Look, isn't it obvious? He broke the moral law by defeating Madam President and then he broke the law of the Deep State Constant which is practically the same as gravity and then he broke the law of ingratiating himself to the people that count (i.e., not the flyover deplorables clinging to religion and guns) and finally he broke the law of surrender which has been the GOP appeasement policy since Reagan left office.

I'm notoriously bad at getting links to work, so maybe this won't. The list starts at 32 and works up. I kept expecting the Bills to show up anywhere from 20 upwards. Turns out they have Allen and the team listed as eighth best. Don't know who their experts are, but this is one of the more encouraging assessments I've seen. http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/future-qb-rankings-rating-all-32-nfl-teams-situations-from-worst-to-best/ss-BBX3mdv?ocid=ientp#image=26

Funny in a dark, bitter way.
