I believe NoHuddle was referring to Genny Cream Ale. Hence the "garbage" label. In my house growing up, Labatt was the KING of beers ?

Good teams find a way. It's up to the GM to figure out how to make it work. Us fans should just enjoy it. Something us "Cash-to-Cap" abused Bills fans will need to get used to.

It's around down here. Our Bills Bar before the move to Whitehall used to serve pounders. You can find it in a few different bars. The funniest part is, with the big Craft Brew movement of the past 15 years, folks think it's a special delicacy-type of craft beer! I've seen it on tasting menus and draft specials. Little do they know that to us, it's the garbage our grandfathers drank and that we drank since it was all there was to steal from my family's garage when I was underage! ?

You kiss like grandma

Then we SHOULD change the name of the team... The Beautiful River Bills!

Woke Revolutionary Tom Bauerle

Just remember when they come for our "Bills", the idea was started by Liberal Protestor and SJW Tom Bauerle

We'd need a far more Polish ethnic name than Bob. Maybe the Stanleys?

For real. I'm actually all for the name being changed. Not for anything PC related, but because it's pretty much the cheesiest name in all of pro sports. The team mascot is actually the city name? And WTF is a "Bill" if you didnt have the context of American history?

Right. I'm with ya. I dont think it was even "bad news". Was just sayin that is probably what he is building this baseless fearmongering off of.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Bill The good news is he was a Union soldier, so we pass there. The bad news is he served the military in the Indian Wars. But I dont see anyone going that far. Big difference between this and "Red Skins".

Absolutely baseless assertion to simply rile up his listeners with a Slippery Slope fallacy.

How is a species of bird within a Native American theme? Either way, I think they'd be smart to stay away from any and all Native American imagery completely. Just move on to something neutral. The Redhawks would be like the Seahawks. Nothing offensive there, except those bright green color-rush unis

Not sure what is appropriate for this thread, so Hap, move/delete is necessary. But a couple of articles from today... Coronavirus immunity can start to fade away within weeks, according to a new study which puts a 'nail in the coffin' in the idea of herd immunity Two months after infection, COVID-19 symptoms persist Neither are great news for the "Just let all the players get it" crowd. [Edit: here's the link to the "persistent symptoms" study. Most common symptoms: fatigue, and dyspnea (shortness of breath). Most of the patients in the study were diagnosed with pneumonia, so that makes a lot of sense. On the other hand the "fade away within weeks" thing doesn't really mean what they say it means. Serum antibody levels are not the be-all and end-all of adaptive immunity.]

Yep, This. We've had it happen with a number of packages since the lockdown started. USPS says it's delivered, it's not on our porch, the wife freaks out and starts emailing everyone, and then it shows up the next day. I've gotten her to the point where she'll give it a day or so now. So far, everything has shown up... eventually.

From what Beane has said, and what Dontae himself has said, it doesnt seem like there was any axe to grind with the team. Vontae just realized his body was old, and CB is a tough spot to be old. Cant hide losing a step when youre covering on the outside. Good of Vontae to return his bonus right away without the team hassling him. This is just another story in the "Bills being Bills" saga of our lives.

Also kinda scummy in certain instances. But profitable!

Another reason why Snyder should have done this YEARS ago

This is kinda scummy, but it's what Snyder deserves for waiting soooo long to come around on the name change. He shouldve seen this coming and been proactively working towards the change. Waiting until he was absolutely forced to is going to cause him problems. Good.

I'm not sure what youre getting at? LOL? That said, I dont remember ever interacting with you before, so maybe there is part of a conversation I'm missing? Gugny and I (and anyone else with half a brain) had this figured out back in May. Look at his comment right below my post. It was obvious why the victims changed their stories so quickly.

How many tables did they have to throw him through to kill him?

It's exactly what I thought was fishy. The players paid/intimidated witnesses into changing their stories, and it all came out in the end because they arent the criminal masterminds they think they are. What's your point?

An extra year of rest, and some kids who have a tougher time moving up in the ranks is nothing compared to players/coaches/staff dying during the season. When is the last season the NFL had an active player or coach die during the season? Typically a single death would be looked at as a tragedy. If you end up with even just 2 or 3 deaths (likely given all the obesity and age in coaching staffs), THAT would lead to devastating ramifications for the league.

Those are all long term issues that will affect them in the future, and which young adults such as the 20-somethings in the NFL have a hard time seeing. If you have asthma or diabetes or some other conditions, COVID could kill you this year. And you can bring it home to vulnerable family members. Big difference.

Fair enough! We shall see
