Expand So the theory is buffalo has an inordinate amount of college kids from elsewhere coming to the area and getting racist online? where are they coming from and why are they moving to buffalo for school?

For someone upset by casual comments you’ve brought little data and made a few of those comments yourself.

Is there other concrete data you want instead? I also brought housing data, for example. Im very explicitly not saying WNY is full of racists but instead that by several differing metrics it simply tends to rank on the wrong end of the spectrum. I’ve gone out of my way to explicitly call out buffalo as having a lot of good things and good people but room to grow on race relations. So far you’ve offered up that racists live everywhere, and that it could be transplants coming for college throwing off the stats online and hate crime data is incorrect.

Often the guys who managed to carve out a career as a backup know more about the technical aspects of playing than the great players who can get by with superior physical talent. Expand I get that most coaches were not great players, but, I'm just wondering what is so special about Jordan Palmer specifically.

Jordan Palmer was on John Murphy and he talked about Allen in glowing terms. He also discussed why his completion percentage was so low and, why in this particular case, he isn’t concerned. The most surprising thing he said he said is that Bill fans are going to love Josh and that he is the passer he’s ever seen. Better than Cutler or his brother Carston. He also said that in a few years Bills fans will be building a statue to him. 04-27 Jordan Palmer on One Bills Live https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/wgr550.hosted.cx/hosting/media/wgr550/1642018/122596011.mp3 Expand to God's ears On 4/27/2018 at 7:13 PM, BillsVet said: Your schtick is getting tired.
