?? Usually it kicks in 3-8 hours afterward. That's what I found online and from eating too many free happy hour pizzas during college!

No. Those guys know what it takes to win and at this point I think are humble enough to talk privately why they blew it. No one's gone to 4 in a row ever. Except for the big one, those guys knew how to win. There is a lot of value in being able to communicate that to the new generation. It contributes to the culture. If McDermott, Beane, or Pegula did not want the retired guys around the team, they wouldn't be.

Sands of Iwo Jima, Destination Tokyo, Patton, The Deer Hunter. Dunkirk is a newer one but great cinema. Definitely tons more.

I think Josh will improve his accuracy and this is my simple reason why: He regularly made perfectly placed throws for us at all levels of the field, hitting guys in stride. He's also a raw prospect out of college, and vastly improved his decision making this year. Willing and able to improve. Contrast that with EJ Manuel.

I live in Willoughby, met Kareem the summer before his senior year and just want to add a couple things from my local level to the discussion. Kareem lived in Elyria (West side of CLE) in a bad situation before his mom decided to get him out and move to Willoughby. I met him working out at a local field and he was very friendly and respectful. After he was drafted he came back to speak at the schools to encourage working hard/following your dream. During his rookie season he came back for one South high game with his mom. He was very gracious, talked to everyone, signed every autograph and stayed the entire game. This season when the chiefs played the Browns he bought tickets for the entire South team, probably came to a game but I only attended one. There's no excuse for his behavior towards that girl, but he also wasn't trying to beat the crap out of her. To label him as some habitually angry, violent, man is unfair from what I know. He's a kid from a bad past who needs to get his head straight and I believe he will. I do think LeSean is washed up and Kareem would be a great back up plan, but this is an RB and may not be worth the risk. Just my 0.02

I don't think so. All in the Family focused on prejudices, stereotypes, and discrimination. Nowadays it all gets lumped together as racism. Back then the focus was on the behavior being bad but the person having a good side also. Now such people are simply pure evil. Back then the emphasis was on trying to enlighten the small minded person, now it only matters that some unknown recipient might be mortally offended. No way would it fly. You have a good point about South Park except that All in TF tried portray real life and South Park only fleetingly intersects it! I also don't think people under 30 can relate to an Archie Bunker type any more.

Working the kids too hard and being abusive are two different things.

If memory serves, Derrick Dockery, Langston Walker, and Melvin freaking Fowler were all getting paid more than Peters. Some time later, there was an article mentioning that Dockery was caught watching Redskins game film in the Bills film room. I didn't like that Peters mailed it in his last season, but Jesus FC that O-line was dreadful and our by-far best linemen was one of the worst paid and also being disrespected by an incompetent organization. In the end, I can't fault the guy for forcing his way out.

People make way too much out of the participation trophies and no scorekeeping. My daughter's 16, son 12 and I've coached a good number of their teams. It's all done at a young age and goes away before or at latest by teenage years. It's done to keep the game fun, encourage development of every kid, and to stave off the nutty hyper-competitive parents. There's nothing worse then parents who want little Johnny or Suzie to be a bloodthirsty winner at any cost by age 8. Competitiveness? Youth sports is as much a business as anything else these days. If your kid is super passionate and/or super talented there are elite and premier clubs that you can pay thousands of dollars and travel across the country to compete at a sport. Parents change their job situation so they can have 3 day weekends because of all the travel. Anyone worried youth sports aren't competitive enough need not be. If your kid is in that situation you can progressively open your wallet until you find the right situation.

I agree with ya, best thing was they didn't have to bench him which can create additional issues.

Thanks, yea, I don't go up there much but will be careful if I do.

Went from Cleveland to Toronto airport and Google maps took me on 407 ETR road for about 10 miles before I realized it was a boothless toll system. It was $3-4 for the toll, problem was, they automatically tacked on $15 to set up an account so now I owed them $20 for 8 minutes of driving! I have EZPass too. I tried to call them for a month but never got through so I finally ignored it and it went away. So far the Canadian extradition papers haven't shown up!

Absolutely agree with you and further Kiko has both feet planted as Allen has already started sliding and then launches himself low at Allen. None of it is an out of control continuation, it's purposeful.

Both Beane and McDermott are young first timers so you have to allow them to make mistakes on the job. I do agree that winning is a process not a final score, so I'm really happy with the true culture change taking place. It's what keeps the Patriots contending year after year and now we have our own version. I do think McDermott's too enamoured with his "process" that wouldn't let go of Peterman, Beane screwed up the backup QB situation massively, arguably cut too much talent from the roster and they're both about to make a mistake about Shady's 2019 effectiveness, though we can work around that. So long as they learn from mistakes and keep improving the team I think they easily get two more years.

What you are doing is theorizing his rationales for playing this season and retiring while ignoring everything about how the man operates and what he stands for. Your theories are most likely wrong, because as per my previous post, Kyle has demonstrated in many ways he doesn't act noticeably on your ascribed level. While highly competitive, winning (at least short term) does not appear to be his primary motivation. In no way did I say you were critical of Kyle Williams and ironically ( but unsurprisingly) that is the only straw man argument here.

Nice. Yes, let's start by ignoring that by all accounts Kyle was close to retiring last year but decided to come back. Let's ignore his passion and leadership by example. Let's ignore that he finally has a coach installing a culture that aligns perfectly with his character. Let's ignore that he could have left here years ago for a proven winner. Let's ignore his constant mentoring, also recruiting efforts over the years with guys like Mario. Let's ignore that the guy is respected, admired, and beloved by the locker room, coaches, front office, and everyone in the Bills community. Let's ignore the fact that our games are essentially meaningless at this point of the year. Yes, let's ignore everything he's built and everything he stands for, all the satisfaction of his efforts and renowned character, and instead ascribe an arrogance and pomposity that after the New England game he was staring at his money and career, gave up all hope for the future and jumped into retirement. Well done, you totally nailed it. You're such a legend in your own mind as usual.

Baseball isn't boring because of the strategies, baseball is boring because you spend most of the 3+ hour game watching batters scratch their nuts, re-velcro their gloves and pitchers pick their asses and re-adjust their hats. Foul ball, repeat ad nauseum. Best thing they could do for the sport is impose time limits between pitches. Speaking as a soccer/ hockey person, I appreciate and sometimes watch baseball but there is almost zero creativity and on-the-fly strategy which also becomes boring for me. Baseball strategy also is easily learned and understood given the snail's pace of the game.

Wow. Yea, George H.W. Bush obviously lived his life to cast an evil pall over the world. You conspiracy clowns really nailed that one. Right up there with John McCain being an AQ supporter. Nice work wedged up there in your own rectums!

It's too late for him but perhaps those prayers will help you....

Let's hope he amends that to "talent+culture=greatness" after the Nate Peterman debacle. I'm surprised some reporter doesn't hammer him on it.

Yep, if nothing else the cops tend to target the left lane.

I drive a lot of miles, 10 or more mph over, and would drive myself crazy if I let these left-squatter and race-the-passer people's self-centered habits bother me. I use all open spaces in every lane to get where I'm going and accelerate through my passes. Definitely follow the unenforced left lane rule but it's only possible like 15-20% of the time. On a on a standard 4 lane divided interstate with a left-squatter, I'll take one for the team and attempt a hopeless right lane pass just to force the squatter to speed up. Works almost every time! I totally get why road rage happens. Just can't take it personal on the road. On 2 lane rural state routes, my passing record is 9 cars and a semi at once on the flats out to Toledo. Hate people too scared to use the dashed yellow line. Another hate is people leaving the parking garage won't back out when you are waiting for their spot. Like I'm creating a hostile environment waiting on them for "their" spot! GTFO and stop dragging ass!

Nice! Congrats on finding a great one! My point was sometimes the ladies prefer you do the dirty work and lay down the law so they don't have to. Sounds like it's handled though.

I'd discuss it with your fiancee and be honest where you're coming from on it. It's her friend. See how she reacts, a lot of chicks don't like to be the bad person or there may be a good reason she tolerates her friend. It may help you find the best way to handle it and avoid conflict with the fiancee.

Yea, she's 48 and still beautiful but I'd rather see a couple legit body wrinkles than that over-brushed cartoon body.
