We call that "macaroni salad," where I come from.

I have, too, and it's because the kid has no quit in him. He's pursuing his dream, handling himself professionally and being patient. I will be DEFINITELY be rooting for him this weekend!

Yep. I get (and respect) that it's not McDermott's style to "build a bully," like his idiot predecessor (not Anthony Lynn), but there is a right time and place to say f*ck it and throw down. That was the right time and place.

My son tried multiple sports as a youngster. He was/is a fantastic kid/young man ... but an athlete, he is not. He played football in 7th grade. When 8th grade rolled around, he went to the first team meeting. That evening, he told me that he really wasn't into it and wasn't sure he wanted to play. I told him that playing a sport when your heart really isn't in it is how people get hurt. I said if your heart's not in it, then you owe it to yourself, the coaches and the team to step away. The next morning, he sought out the coach in school and had the discussion with him, which ended with him thanking the coach for the opportunity and shaking his hand. I was proud of him for speaking up and thankful that he felt comfortable in doing so. I know that we ALL know "those parents," who force their kids to play sports. They're usually dads who sucked at sports when they were younger and want to live vicariously through their children. I was lucky that I had parents who let us find our own passions and supported us when we found them. Anyway, I'm glad my son didn't continue to play football, primarily because I feared injury. There are still too many coaches out there who tell kids to "shake it off," or "walk it off."

Of course he won't. This is why I specified, "at that point in time," in my post.

Totally agree. And my gut tells me that Taylor didn't even entertain the idea of pushing for a Bills forfeit. It would take a real a-hole to do that.

I have no idea how this could have played out, but let's just say (hypothetically) that McDermott told the officials that the Bills would not come out to resume the game; BUT that Taylor - at the same time - said, "well my guys are ready to go and we DO want to resume play." Wouldn't that automatically become a Bills forfeit? By also telling officials that his team did not want to resume, Taylor effectively took the forfeit off the table (at that point in time).

I think it's evolved into simply being a public criticism. That's how I define it, anyway.

Saturday was (rightfully) pissed at Thibodeaux's sack celebration as Foles lay on the ground in serious pain. But he was also pissed at his own team. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35366350/jeff-saturday-calls-kayvon-thibodeaux-celebration-tasteless-trash Saturday also took exception to another aspect of the play: the fact that none of his players intervened during Thibodeaux's prolonged display. "Disappointed from the O-line perspective and teammates in general," said Saturday, a former Colts Pro Bowl center. "We protect our own. Y'all know me. I've been here a long time. I'm just going to tread lightly. Obviously, I didn't like it at all. That's where I'll leave it." ------------------------ I remember Tre White's teammates standing around doing nothing after the dirty Gronk hit on Tre White, but McDermott didn't call them out.

Talk about going out on a limb!

Then he shouldn't be out there. He is f*cking horrible. Cinci's game plan was clear out of the gate. They would have kept picking on him all game, had the entire game been played. He is a liability right now. In two years, he'll be too old and slow.

Better yet, let's stop talking about charity, period.

I found the nfl.com release announcing the schedule from last year and it was published Sunday night just before midnight. So I'm guessing after tonight's game is over.

So ... I just want to make sure I'm following .... you fell for an obviously photoshopped picture and the police are the bad guys???

What took you so long? 🤣

Anyone, including Geno Smith, would have been better that TuhROD.

John Lennon and George Harrison could be resurrected for a Beatles reunion tour with Pink Floyd (with Waters and Gilmour) as the opening act and even if I was guaranteed to have front row seats with Kate Upton giving me lapdances and BJs all night .... I still wouldn't spend that kind of money for a ticket.

Well, since you asked, Christopher ... I think he should have taken the offer originally given to him before he proved to be an underperforming, injury prone running back ... quarterback. And if there is a GM/owner out there who gives him a huge fully guaranteed contract, then they can enjoy 3/4 of a season of success and falling flat on their face in the playoffs for years to come.

It makes me feel whole. Sometimes it even arouses me. Other times, it makes me crave a Mr. Goodbar.

Joe Buck on calling Bills-Bengals, the biggest ‘Monday Night Football’ game in decades Joe Buck jogs his memory and the answer is clear: He has never called an AFC regular-season game with this much on the line. With he* and Troy Aikman’s first year in the “Monday Night Football” booth concluding in a couple of weeks, the duo gets a massive New Years gift: The Bills (12-3) traveling to Cincinnati to play the Bengals (11-4) on Monday night, with a later-than-normal 8:30 p.m. ET kickoff. The teams’ combined 23 wins is tied with Denver and San Francisco in 1997 for the most ever wins entering a “Monday Night Football” broadcast. The game has massive implications for both teams given the No. 1 seed in the AFC is still undecided. It’s also a showcase between two of the game’s best quarterbacks — Josh Allen and Joe Burrow. “We’ve (he and Aikman) never called a game in the AFC with this much on the line in our 21 years,” Buck said this week. “You hoped when the schedule came out that it would come down to something like this, but there’s so many different factors involved that rarely does it get there, whether it’s an injury or one team doesn’t play as well as you think it will. But this feels like an AFC Championship Game to me. I was just thinking about the game, and I got that rush of nerves and excitement that I would typically get the week of the Super Bowl. It was a great feeling to have.” https://theathletic.com/4035653/2022/12/29/joe-buck-bills-bengals/?source=dailyemail&campaign=601983 * - Pointing this out because it never ceases to amaze me how people who are paid to write and/or speak in the media cannot grasp when to use he vs. his.

I wonder how often Willis gets asked what he's talking about.

We've been watching this over the past couple weeks and are up to Episode 6. I love me a good whodunit and this is a great one! Great acting, too. I'll come back and chime in when we finish it up, which should be by the end of the weekend.
