The confusion seems to stem from different racial “cultures” producing different economic outcomes..👍 The Left will call this “systemic racism”, yet there is is no law on the boooks, specifically targeting black people, that they can point to… Simply put, some cultures teach a strong work ethic, study habits, and avoiding criminality more than other cultures…And often times, people from other countries come here worse off than blacks already here… Like the great Morgan Freeman once said, always crying “racism” is just an excuse why not to try…It’s much easier blaming others, and demanding they give you things instead of working for it…👍

Weird, I chuckled a few times and they didn’t even use a racial slur. What hacks! ”would you have sex with a Trump supporter for a dollar?” That lady’s response was hilarious.

Weirdest Heisman year ever. No clear cut leader. Caleb Williams was the hot name the last few weeks but last night *may* have hurt his chances even though he had good numbers and his defense was the main culprit (similar to stroud last week). Williams was dinged up too but recency bias is a real thing. Has the voting already taken place though? Could max Duggan win it today? Is Hendon hooker still in it?

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT A THREAD TO DEBATE THE MVP AND WHO IT SHOULD BE. It is about is there a better way to conduct voting than just one vote at the end of the year. MVP voting is entirely too reliant on RECENCY BIAS and also heavily favors QB's. Games down the stretch too strongly sway votes. Not saying there isn't extra value in coming up big in say big games late in the season, because there is, but its too skewed to right now where voting is too impacted by the most recent games. For example - Lamar is the clear front runner to win because him and the Ravens had their 2 best games down the stretch beating the Niners and Miami (1 seed NFC and then 2 seed AFC) decisively in back to back weeks. They got hot at the right time, especially to help Lamar's MVP case even though the rest of the season wasn't as good as he was in those 2 games. On the flip side, Lamars big 2 weeks started against both Purdy and McCaffrey who had their own MVP cases but both are completely out of the race even though you can make a case that both Purdy and McCaffrey had better seasons than Lamar. Had this game took place say week 3, then Purdy and CMC might very well be in the thick of the race as would potentially other players considering Lamars overall season wasn't as good as his final 2 games played. So here is what I think would be a better way to do this: Season long MVP voting or scoring system Rather than have voters wait until the season ends to vote where the only thing fresh in their minds are the most recent showings, they should award points to candidates as the season progresses. I have 2 different ideas on how to do this...one pretty simple and straight forward, and one little more complex and interesting. First and simplest one: Vote for MVP every week starting after week 4. Only the players receiving top 10 votes receiver points Each player receiving votes will recieve points based on that vote. First place votes are worth 10, amount, 2nd place 9, and so on. Recognizing that late season games often are more important, have more at stake, more pressure etc as teams jockey for playoffs and seeding, you can weight the scoring on those weeks a little higher. Starting week 15 votes carry increased value - say something from 125% to 150% scoring value. Alternate - Maybe only the last vote carries more value say double points (200%) All votes remain sealed until the end of the season, so no one knows where the votes are to avoid influencing late season voting. Player who accumulates the most points from the voting process by season end will be MVP. In the event of a tie then CO-MVP's or let the NFL players vote amongst the tied players and person with most votes wins. NOTE: If you still want some additional weight or value for late season votes where maybe the games are bigger and more important Second one: Season long scoring system where you score the players every 3 weeks (6 times). Each voter lists their top 10 players of that 3 week period who were at an MVP level. They then score each player based on their performances. This would probably include some fixed scoring and opinion based scoring Fixed scoring examples: Win = 1 point, 0 points for a loss, .5 points for big game in a losing effort Opinion scoring example: MVP Score per game - 0.0 to 3.0 based on how you feel they played each game. Huge game maybe its a 2.9 or 3.0. Slow first half but big second half maybe its 2.2. Maybe that second half included some critical game winning play and that gets bumped up to a 2.4 or 2.6 for example. You can make the scoring as simple as this or as complex as you want with lots of scoring categories. But at the end of the day, what really matters is that there is a season long tally that will help determine who had the best season and should be the MVP of the league. Again, these scores remain sealed until the end of the season so voters don't feel compelled to try and sway voting in any one period. At the end of the season, the players finish the MVP race based on total scoring. In the event of a tie, you the NFL players vote on the tied finalist with most votes being MVP or you could simply have Co-MVPs in a tie as well. Personally, this would be better than just asking a bunch of voters to vote once the season is over where recency bias weighs to heavy. Plus, with a fair scoring system, this might actually give players OTHER than QB's a better chance to win MVP.

Now, watch them call him a white supremacist…😉

Feel free to merge this with the other Frazier thread but the more I watch this defense, and this team in general, has an edge to it. It’s pretty clear through 4 games that Frazier wasn’t running McDermotts defense and McDermott determined that his DC was holding some players back. The difference in play and aggressiveness from Ed Oliver, Greg Rousseau have been night and day. The development of AJ Epenesa who has been really good early this year, Terrell Bernard, Christian Benford look like pro bowl type players now. just a huge night and day difference with some of these guys from last year.

And this season has a pair of cops from Buffalo. https://www.tvinsider.com/gallery/the-amazing-race-season-33-cast-photos/amp/

I just drove past a billboard in Rochester saying racial equity, demand it! What exactly is it? What should be done about it? Who are the ones demanding it?

I'm going to be optimistic here, and say that we will likely still win the division, but I think it'll be a one or two game margin between us and the Pats. Bills have hit some bumps as of recently, and the Pats are looking like they will probably be a playoff team. As for today's game, our Defense was good in the red zone, but otherwise definitely some concerns with letting up too many chunk yards on runs and some mediocre pass coverage at times. Offense looked flat. I think it's glaring now that we need more of a run game, and a better run game. Don't know if it's so much the RBs, but that are O-Line can't run block (and can barely pass block at the moment...). Josh can't do it all himself, and with no run game whatsoever to set up play action and the pass game, all the pressure is always on Josh. I put some blame on coaching here too, they gave up on run early at times. Not enough run attempts on 1st down. Penalties killed us today! Some of them were questionable on officiating, but obviously cannot commit that many costly penalties that put you out of scoring position... The Titans and Bengals have lost to the Jets (and Dallas got dominated by the Broncos today)... I'm hopeful the Bills will turn this around and can still have a successful season!

What the *****? Did Demented Biden just call Satchel Paige the "Great ***** at the Time"? What is wrong with this racist? We need the Twenty-fifth Ammendment now. Total racist.

Help me find the party affiliation here.....

Wanted to see what the level of concern is for our Bills after the tough loss in Miami. Regardless of how you view Tua and the Dolphins, it seems likely that they will control 1st place in the AFC East for the foreseeable future. I am as optimistic as any about about our chances this year; however, I think most would agree that reaching our ultimate Super Bowl goal this year will be impacted by our ability to secure the #1 seed in the AFC. Miami's upcoming schedule: @Cin @NYJ Min Pit @Det @Chi Cle Bye Hou With Miami now essentially having a 2 game lead with the tiebreaker, our injury situation, and difficult next 4 games, how confident are you in Buffalo regaining control in the AFC East (and competing in the home field race)? I think today clearly demonstrated we are superior to the Dolphins, but sometimes the best team does not always prevail. Thoughts? Go Bills!

And democracy, but those who say "we are not a democracy" would object. But this "stop the steal guy" would, as he said, "Decertify voting machines in certain areas." If he wins and steals the election there is no law to respect. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/05/18/doug-mastrianos-pa-victory-could-give-2020-denier-oversight-2024/

Buffalo 4-1 Jets 3-2 Miami 3-2 New England 2-3 Let’s go

Thoughts? Genuinely want to know why this is wrong from people who would disagree. I’m a millennial so, not far off from his post, but I’m assuming those on the left have rebuttals.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/special-election-george-santos-seat-pilip-suozzi-new-york-rcna138396 GREAT NECK, N.Y. — Tuesday’s special election in New York’s 3rd Congressional District might do more than replace disgraced GOP former Rep. George Santos in the House. It could also have implications beyond Long Island, from the House majority to November’s elections. Democratic former Rep. Tom Suozzi faces Republican Mazi Pilip, a Nassau County legislator and Ethiopian immigrant who served in the Israel Defense Forces. Suozzi entered the race with high name recognition — he represented the 3rd District before he made an unsuccessful run for governor in 2022. And while Suozzi and his Democratic allies have outspent Republicans on the airwaves, strategists in both parties expect a close race Tuesday.

And neither should josh. Ita not designed for him. It's designed to get people open quick and get YAC. It's designed for tua or purdy. Not josh. It was modified to work with josh but it's a scheme that relies on athletes winning 1 on 1 all the time or you take check down. See Tom brady. Early win or check it down. Daboll in college had one of the greatest teams ever so they often won early. Ruggs Smith Ridley Jeudy Hurts Tua Jacobs Harris Robinson ***** me. I could have won natty with that team. Dorsey tried to keep it and put twists on it. It didn't work. Brady focused on the simple stuff. Kind of worked. We need brady to implement his own system that produced 2x 1k receivers. 1k rusher. Dabolls system is actually *****. Relies on qb to run. Wrs to win quick. And rarely schemes people open. When we had bease brown and diggs it worked because someone always won quick. Now we have no one that wins quick so it's a check down offense. Good riddons. I'm excited to see josh on a system...not see a system that puts josh in it.

Your current RCP averages shows you the moment in time the Ds had to try and convince you they never supported lockdowns, protocols, or Joe Xiden.

I am not simply trying to score political points here but today we received the list of schools in Orange County Florida that can start recruiting teachers in order to help improve their academic standing. These schools that performing poorly are all in the Democrat voting sections of town. Literally not one is is in a red voting part of town and most of them are in the darkest blue on the voting map. This is not along racial lines because many of the well performing schools have a white minority, but there is a definite voting pattern commonality. https://www.orlandosentinel.com/politics/os-ne-2020-10-year-history-20201030-mr2eyronafbd3bmo2s3x43quae-htmlstory.html As for how to fix it? Allow teachers to hold kids to standards, allow schools to throw out kids who are repeat problems, and stop pretending a school should raise a child.

https://ktla.com/news/nationworld/spanish-homework-assignment-at-n-y-school-draws-outrage/ I feel for teachers during the era of COVID. What a senseless and stupid mistake this was.
