  1. I feel the same way, but I am deeply disappointed that it seems the season is over two games in. Pegula better take his time and get it right. Also, so long as we are going to be bad, let's find a way to get Deshuan Watson. Don't want to see him in a Brown's uniform.
  2. Kudos for the Daniel Boone reference. I think this is an inside joke for the get off my lawn crowd, though. I almost think half the allure and hype of this player was the name. I think there's a much better chance Jerel Worthy turns out to be the player who has a renaissance with a second chance team.
  3. But . . . but . . . the instant gratification society wants to know NOW.
  4. 1. Goodwin -- he will stay healthy and establish the deep threat that will allow Sammy to be moved to variable positions x,y, and z, as well as create more running room after the initial point of contact. 2. Caitlyn Jenner -- the glorification of the trangender movement, aside from any perhaps legitimate issues of gender dysphoria, is at base a radical rejection of natural norms. Nature is conceived as a neutral being lacking inherent value. What can be measured and weighed is "objective and real" following the lead of Galileo, Newton, and Descartes, whilst aesthetic and moral judgements are treated as purely subjective and therefore outside a criteria that can be "imposed" from the outside. Any form of heteronomy is understood to be a from of fascist coercion. This is partly a legacy of Kant, but it has been radicalized, popularized, and dumbed down so that any judgement of "aberration" is now bigoted and any form of eccentricity is now a heroic gesture towards freedom and self-expression, so long as overt violence towards others is avoided. The banal cultural truism that enjoins the Caitlyn Jenner effect is an intensified version of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." One cannot call Andy Warhol a clever sophist for marketing kitsch consumerism or Marcel Duchamp's urinal a joke at the expense of intellectual pretension or the endless egoism of the selfie generation a narcissistic indulgence of the vulgarly shallow; one must celebrate it or be deemed a narrow and provincial moralist. 3. Chariots of Fire 4. Jack Kemp to Charley Ferguson with 28 seconds left to beat the Patriots in 1963. Old school helmets and last minute defeat of the Pats before the era of privileged, whiny cheating. 5. Conservatives on PBS?
  5. Encouraged by Zimmer. Wonderful write up, per usual. You're a pre-season tradition. Thanks so much.
  6. Deep down, well, not really, on the surface, too, he's insanely happy.
  7. Encouraged by Kouandjio. Valles seems to be a forgotten name on the boards. Given the lb injuries, folks ought to start paying attention. Didn't know you were part of Bills Wire. Good stuff.
  8. I dunno. I've been a fan for 45 years. Dennis Shaw is the first qb I remember. I always want the Bills and Sabres to do well. I think both have potential to be reasonably good. I am confident the Sabres will get there, actually. I don't have any of the jaded, miserable angst that seems to infect the NNNs. Those like you and Tasker's Ghost that seemingly never have anything good to say don't strike me as realistic, but to each his own.
  9. It's completely legit that Pegula doesn't feel compelled to own the failures of the Wilson years. Why should he? He paid 1.4 billion for you to have a team to always gripe about.
  10. Lots of overreaction in this thread. Unless the wheels completely fall off, Rex and Whaley will both be back. Pegula is not a quick trigger on firing folks.
  11. Don't know for sure about our coverage lbs, but I do know he is the worst NFL reporter for ESPN. The trolls love him though and think he is a "realist." If one points out that he literally only reports injuries and negative stories, the "realists" call one a Pollyanna.
  12. The parody of post #614 ought to be sufficient to establish basic literacy and intelligence. It's also why he went out of his way to reference a General Manager.
  13. Polarity is notorious for being easily confused. It is partly genetic and partly a result of being taught Latin at an incipient energy state. Latin has a very logical grammar, but flexible syntax. Furthermore, one can manage the electron flow and balance out the dyslexic paranoid schizoid conditional templates if one does the gondola yoyo trick over a crack in time. It also helps if one plays Mozart. I'm not really sure why. Bluster. Have a jelly baby.
  14. That's a technical question that has to take into account solar flares, leap years, global mean temperature and the like. Of course, all that is child's play if one has a sonic screwdriver.
  15. All Bills' helmets are lined with tin-foil so you are talking about a redundant system. Since Terry is megabucks, they may employ the shield method as well. I don't have inside knowledge of that, however. All I know about for sure is the helmets.
  16. Gotta keep the little folk happy. Next year, he's going to just use a stamp.
  17. I believe Robey added the hyphenated name to honor his late mother. In other news, Sammy signs autographs to irritate Gugny.
  18. Was he (Gug) always like this? I seem to remember a far less acerbic character not too long ago. Ah, well, I like Sammy.
  19. Your city is named Buffalo and you place a Buffalo on your helmet and you name the team after a fella renowned for killing Buffalo. The logic has always seemed somewhat enigmatic to me.
  20. Does Rodak ever post anything that isn't snarky, bad news, or potential bad news?
  21. Really enjoy the insight and analysis -- and then style points as well.
  22. I always look forward to these. WR improvement -- and Sammy's just chilling. This could be a big jump forward. You might want to change Bryant to Lewis, though. Wrong Dez, alas, though ours might turn out good and without the headcase issues.
