    In domestic cases, people are WAY more likely to get arrested than say 2 men getting into a fight in a bar. In the latter, if both parties declined to press charges, the officers would usually be able to take a report and leave (barring serious physical injury or use of a weapon which would upgrade an assault to a felony). 

     

    WRT domestic incidents, most departments require arrests. They feel as if they will be less likely to get sued. In NYC, an arrest can be made if the officers feel that future violence is likely.  A person can go on a death threat. Will the charge stick? Probably not but a T.O.P. might be issued at arraignment.

     

    Oh so they do the whole Minority Report thing huh? Guess that isn't as far fetched as it seemed

    Life support? :lol:

     

    MLB is the second highest revenue generating pro sports league on planet earth.......behind only the NFL, of course.

     

    As for the sport aging out and just being for old folks.......... while overall youth sports enrollment in the US fell from 45% to 38% from 2008-2019..........baseball was unaffected by that..........it's the organized sport a US kid is most likely to play........which is why baseball continues to have a lot of fans of all ages.

     

    We all love football.......even people like yourself who weren't athletically inclined.

     

    But unfortunately,  football is the sport with a young people problem.    People love to watch it........but have their kids play it?   Nope.  Enrollment down from 2.5M per year to 1.9M per year in that span.

    The sport is going to have to continue to become steadily less violent to keepthe talent pipeline full and extend the careers of the limited amount of talented players coming into pro football.    

     

    It will be basketball on grass............and we will retain our love for very different reasons(nostalgia and competitive balance) rather than why it was popular in the first place (a violent test of wills).

     

    MLB is horribly run but if they get the action back into the game and cut the game times........as they are working to do..........it's hard to beat the long term outlook for a game that plays every day and doesn't leave the players crippled and poisoned from pain and PE drugs.

     

     

    It's the oldest average fanbase at 57. That's a problem. It's a boring game to watch on TV. Hell...it's even boring to watch in person many times.  Why do you think so many people leave before the end of the games in the 5th, 6th and 7th innings?

    Most teams spend a ***** ton anymore... don't be jealous b.c the Yankees are coming out on top this year.

     

    Best Part is a Mets fan agreed with you while being a fan of a team that also is top in spending.

     

    I have zero interest in baseball...haven't in some time now. Boring sport on fan life support watched by 60 and 70 year olds.

    Very surprising that we are bigger favorites at KC(-1.5) than at Bal (-1) and at Cin(pick em). 

     

    Right now my favorite play is Bills -1 at Baltimore. I think we will handle them. But there is a chance for a let down game being after two prime times and a division opponent.

    Baltimore does nothing on offense against our D the last few times...only that one long play to Hayden hurt us...other than that we held them in check

    You literally told me about this coin last year and how you were going to get rich off it lol   

     

    Bitcoin? Think you mistook that for crypto in general.

  6. Funny reading the posts over there talking about how they wanted to face us week one in Buffalo so they could hand us a loss and how they could sweep us in the division and have a chance to win the division with Tua...

     

    Hope springs eternal in May...until their Daddy Josh Allen b!tch slaps them twice during the season like always.

    Am I the only one that's annoyed by all this "The Bills are going to the Super Bowl!!!" talk? I'm way too superstitious, and it's pissing me off. Everyone shut up already! Let's at least play a game or two!

     

    The team is stacked. They need to learn how to deal with the hype and play with a target on their back. Something they struggled with last year, hoping that experience and end of the season finish after the TB game was the realization they needed to know how they need to approach every game...

     

    There will be no easy games, everyone is gunning for them again this year maybe even more considering the hype surrounding them.
