Punching Bag Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I saw a report on TV about a police dept. I think it was in Austin TX that has instituted mandatory training for its officers to prevent shootings as much as possible. But not shootings of people, shootings of dogs. They said when a dog gets shot their switchboard crashes from all the calls. That does not happen when a human gets shot. So basically people care more about dogs than other people. Maybe more people in Texas should be shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Bills arrive in Detroit after using snowmobiles to pick up players Bills president Russ Brandon was careful in talking about the game his team will play against the Jets -- moved to Monday and Detroit's Ford Field due to the blizzard that drilled Western New York -- as he drove to the airport on Friday afternoon. And for obvious reasons. "If we can take everyone's mind off the plight of what's in front of us for a few hours and represent Buffalo as the fans would want us to, that would mean a lot to all of us who are involved with the Bills," Brandon said. "It's an incredible community, a passionate community, and we take pride in where we're from. It's a city of neighbors who take care of each other, and we know we all have a tough dig out ahead. "So our thoughts and prayers and with our region and community, above all else." @ChrisBrownBills 1st practice for #Bills new additions S Baccari Rambo & TE MarQuies Gray here at Lions' Allen Park facility. Dixon was getting cabin fever in OP Back in Orchard Park, Bills RB Boobie Dixon was getting restless as Wednesday moved into Thursday with no practice at One Bills Drive due to the record-breaking snowfall from a lake effect snowstorm this week in Western New York.

The city declared a state of emergency this week due to heavy snowfall in the area. Of lesser importance, the Bills moved its Sunday home game against the Jets to be played Monday night at Detroit's Ford Field. The team arrived in Detroit on Friday afternoon and practiced that night for the first time all week (this happening in a day where players walked to the facility and others were picked up on snowmobiles). In meeting with the media afterward, coach Doug Marrone was extremely thankful to his squad's temporary hosts. "(The Lions have) been outstanding, I can't say enough," Marrone said. "That's unheard of in this league." "They made it as smooth a transition as it could be," quarterback Kyle Orton added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Game should have been played in Pittsburgh. AFC city, closer rust belt affiliation and fans would not have to cross the border to get there. edit: how many potential bills fans, do you suspect, are there in Erie, northern pen., or south towns ny, as opposed to northwest ohio or michigan? I mean I want to get the game in, but I would like some even remote semblance of a home game. High school games being played this weekend and their field blows I've liked Browns fans less and less each year I've lived in Ohio. I know we have the whole kindred spirit kinda thing going but for the most part they are just idiots that piss me off. These are the same fans that we're crying in their Cheerios about having to settle for Pettine and will be clamoring for Johhny Football in a couple weeks. I have no kindred spirit thing with Cleveland, Went to a game in the old stadium and they threw batteries and all sorts of crap at us . I hate them.

26CornerBlitz Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 @MHoppertNYT Amid Snowstorm, #Bills Shrug, Bundle Up and Make Their Way to Detroit http://nyti.ms/1r5tojE Tight ends Lee Smith and Scott Chandler loaded up their suitcases, said goodbye to their families and hitched rides on snowmobiles. Wide receiver Chris Hogan started walking. In Orchard Park, where the Buffalo Bills practice and play their home games, storms left up to six feet of snow this week, rendering many streets impassable, and the field at Ralph Wilson Stadium unplayable for a scheduled game against the Jets on Sunday. The N.F.L. rescheduled the game for Monday night at Ford Field in Detroit, and the Bills’ players and staff had to get there. So early Friday, they resorted to whatever means were available. Some who lived outside the affected areas drove directly to the airport. Many more made a rendezvous at the stadium, where they first caught a caravan of buses, then a flight to Detroit. On Friday night, the Bills convened at the Lions’ suburban complex in Allen Park, Mich., to practice for the first time since snow began falling on Monday.
