  1. I'd like in. I was in Fluff's league a few years back, but he was trying his best Goodell impression. Banning and imposing fines for everything, including unruly, drunken celebrations in my living room when I took down his "Fun Bags". Hrmph.

     

    I'm kidding, of course. Or, am I...?

  2. That time of the month? This is something a menstruating woman would do. :rolleyes:

     

    Brings new meaning to his screen name, eh?

     

    If mrags is actually an overly dramatic menstruating chick, then I vote that she should stay. Heaven knows that this board needs more broads :flirt: , and we would only have to deal with it for one week outta the month.

  3. Spice? It is legal in many places and forms. It shouldn't be. That stuff is deadly. Edit: just looked it up, it is a Class I controlled substance in AL. Good for 'bama.

     

    Dareus should stay the f*** away from that crap and stick to illegal pot - now that stuff should be legalized.

     

    The synthetic form of marijuana that is marketed under "K2" and "Spice" is an EXTREMELY dangerous form of the drug. It is basically a chemical analog synthesized in a laboratory. The chemical is then sprayed on dried plant matter so that it can be smoked. One of the reasons that it is so dangerous is because the haphazard manner in which it is applied to the dried plant matter. Because of this, you get varying doses of the drug each time you take a hit. Bad, bad stuff. Deadly stuff. Make you go crazy stuff.

     

    Upthread a bit, another poster complained that it was deemed illegal through "executive order". The DEA issues emergency orders to illegalize this stuff whenever a new compound comes out. The chemists who are synthesizing this stuff would just make a minor change to the original formula to make it legal. If the DEA didn't get involved, that compound would be legal until the legislature met and voted to make it illegal. Then, the chemists would make another minor change to make it legal again until the legislature met again...and on and on and on...

  4. How long are you gonna hold on to that, EII? I remember having this same (or very similar) debate with you years ago. Maybe it's time to let it go? Until that happens, I doubt that I can convince you that:

     

    - The cops aren't out to get you and take food off of your family's table

    - Traffic safety isn't a scam. Traffic crashes are the number one killers in our country. Speed plays a large role in the majority of those fatal crashes.

    - Most cops aren't "douchebags"

    - Laws are written by legislators, and enforced by police

    - My agency (a large traffic oriented state agency) doesn't see revenues from citations. That money goes into the county.

     

    I will certainly admit that there are some "douchebag" cops. And, I will admit that there are some small, municipal agencies that gather much of their revenue through traffic enforcement. As such, they zealously enforce the law. Anyone ever heard of Waldo, Florida?

     

    As far as your obvious bitterness as to what you call "professional courtesy", there's this - do I give warnings every day to regular Joe Blow citizens? Yup. Do I give warnings to police officers if I pull them over? Yup. Do I expect it if I ever get pulled over? No. Why does that bug you? When I am fighting a drunk all by myself on the side of the road, who is going to stop to help? Joe Blow? Probably not - he'll get out his cell phone and start recording. I guarantee that off-duty cop will stop, and will help.

     

    Now that I've said my piece, I'm out. I read this forum out of enjoyment for the team that we all love to root for. At times, I feel the need to express my professional opinion to help out / educate some of my fellow board members on a topic that most people know little about. I can see that the thread is quickly devolving into a serious level of cop-hate, and I want no part of it. I get enough of it at work.

  5. That information is accessible through the various electronic databases that we have access to in FL. I ask for all three, primarily because my niche in law enforcement involves arresting drunks and finding drugs. Asking for all three documents gives me a longer legal excuse to talk to someone and observe them. The longer I can look and listen, the more chance I have to find something...interesting. Some guys have their niche in writing speeding tickets all day long, so they can get a little lazy with the other stuff. Get the license, go back to the car, write the ticket, and on to the next one. Wham-bam, thank you ma'am.

  6. in the state of California and I would guess everywhere. You have every right to demand to see the gun and check for calibration time and date. By law a radar gun in California must be calibrated before every shift if not you win. Of course if your ticketed in a state where you live, you also have the right to demand a change of venue, but you must do it on the spot.

     

    Not true in Florida. I hear it all the time - "I demand to see your RADAR!". Um, no. You are not going anywhere near my car. Plus, what kind of proof does me showing you my RADAR give? I could clock a car at the beginning of my shift at 88mph and lock the speed in on the display. Then, I go around showing all the folks that demand to see my RADAR the number 88 all day long. You go to court, and I bring my documents for you to inspect there. I assure you that you won't like what you see, though... B-)

  7. I might be mistaken about this but Thad Lewis might still be eligible to go back on the practice squad. If that were the case then drafting someone like Aaron Murray or Zach Mettenberger in the 3rd rd could be feasible. Both would not be ready to play but once again I think that they could go on the PUP list until the 7th week of the season then a decision would have to be made. If that were the case then the drafted QB would be PUPPED and then activated when he is eligible to come off and then Lewis would be sent to the practice squad at that time. If I'm wrong on any of these accounts then this whole theory would be thrown out the window. It's the off season and I'm just trying to be creative.

     

    Thad would be snapped up off of our practice squad awfully quick.

  8. I'm speaking of his locker room comment about a crucial dropped pass in the first half of one of the recent games, something like "it really didn't matter, it was early in the game." I seem to recall that he did a few dumb things early in the season as well. Is this what you expect out of a veteran receiver who is supposed to be setting an example for the younger guys? Obviously, he had to miss time because of his mother's passing, but two games? Even if he took 10 days off, he still had time to get back and suit up for NE.

     

    He played the day after she died. The man bleeds Buffalo Bills Football. That should be unquestioned.

     

    Life > football.
