  1. I don't think you'll find schools in such poor condition kids can't learn well. I have close friends who are teachers in low income Chicago areas. The stories they tell are incredible in terms of the total lack of effort and respect shown to teachers by students in these areas. There are stories every week about this. We're talking brutal acts of teacher disrespect and near zero effort on the part of many of the students. Where the schools get some share of the blame IMO is due to district-wide policies that won't allow teachers and administrators to discipline the kids or require that homework is done or give them failing grades. They simply move the kids along from year to year and allow them to behave horribly and rarely with discipline.
  2. The problem with fixing schools in low income urban areas is that for the most part the schools don't need fixing. It's the student body that arrives at school from a home environment of low educational expectations (including students planning to drop out years before they are of "dropout age") that needs fixing. They use the same textbooks in suburban schools that they do in urban schools.
  3. It's a hedge in the event that Grenell decides to identify as a woman during the selection process.
  4. Thou shalt expect 1st round drafted rookie QB's on crappy teams to immediately play at a high level and declare them busts when they don't.
  5. Can't argue with that ?
  6. Bullcrap. If Trump were so concerned about his own pocketbook he'd move the FBI, have his son's execute the purchase of the old FBI building on the cheap and then develop that property. When that happens come and ring the corruption bell.
  7. Don't count on that. The laws regarding those claiming refugee/asylum status are not simple and are subjective. These migrants for sure have been coached up on what to say to their "case workers" who will be a combination of Mexican, U.S. and possibly U.N. officials along the way. Our Federal government is somewhat handcuffed by laws and can't simply turn people away or meet them with soldiers at gunpoint at the border which frankly is what should happen given that this is a coordinated political stunt.
  8. Yes, it's more likely DA plays poorly or gets hurt after the long layoff. Hope otherwise though. Allen's gotta play when healthy.
  9. Yes what a coincidence.
  10. Turn these ***** around at the border.
  11. Yes and you would think that 1 incident like that would be enough for a player to cut it shorter.
  12. Bills 23-17 with a run heavy offense and some help from their defense. Peterman comes in late for the injured Anderson (pulls a hammy) and executes the winning handoff. This is not a wish, but simply what the crystal ball shows.
  13. Things certainly aren't in great order right now with Bills' QB's but gosh it's waaaayyyyyy too early to be making the EJ and 2013 comparison. The Bills simply need another off-season to plug some holes and for their young players to be further along.
  14. We're supposed to believe the author who states that a bunch of 21-32 year olds don't save because they expect our country to dump capitalism for their benefit? Yeah right, that's what the picture generation thinks about and believes.
  15. The Bills need to add another QB. Would be nice to find a vet, but if not available drafting another isn't crazy. Assumes Anderson not in Buffalo next year.
  16. And he was training for the long jump which isn't the same as getting into top football shape.
  17. Yet yesterday CNN highlighted her as the #1 2020 contender.
  18. Plenty of political hacks, liars and thieves to go around. It's best to look at political issues with simple math. It takes most of the bias and subjectivity out of the equation. National debt and government spending, illegal immigration, national security and most of the real federal government responsibilities can be boiled down to numbers.
  19. Agree and Nate appeared to take a huge leap forward in training camp and pre-season. He gave the coaches and GM a reason to have some renewed confidence in him. It's terrible that the Bills are where they are QB-wise right now. Maybe Anderson will be the steady vet that they hope he will be.
  20. Yeah, he Teddy would look very good in a Bills uni right now.
  21. A Judge recently ruled to garnish legal fees collected by his firm from a couple dozen clients as he owes a former partner $10 mil. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/avenatti-s-law-firm-hit-10-million-judgment-n876576 People deal with attacks in different ways. Michelle Obama - When they go low, we go high Eric Holder - When they go low, we kick 'em Donald Trump - Limbo stick champion. He'll always go lower than his adversaries and win the game.
  22. You can't forget this game which has been called the worst game ever in NFL history, the '87 strike game Bills - Giants, 6-3 overtime thriller. Brian Mclure Bills QB. https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/10/17/nfl-1987-strike-replacement-players-scab-game-bills-giants-lawrence-taylor-bill-parcells-marv-levy
