  1. On second thought, I think the guy is on to something. Mark my words, dear Bills fans, there's going to be a rush to get deaf quarterbacks under center........and soon.
  2. Interesting rationalization that Dolphin fans seem to have a habit of. The take away should be that Josh progressed so much from year two to three that he was really capable of getting into a better play at the line. It was very noticeable and usually successful. Instead of hoping that crowd noise, which can be combatted to a certain degree, they should be more concerned that his demonstrated advancement was quite remarkable. The play changes were undeniable evidence and there is no reason to think that improvement won't continue. On another note, I occasionally read some of their stuff on their fansite and I find them to be the least aware or realistic fans out there, and they are in total three year denial about Allen. He kills them and they hate him. The ultimate was when one of them suggested the Dolphins could get a second rounder for Ryan Fitzpatrick at the end of last season. Pure fantasy. If I was a fan there, I'd be quite concerned about how Tua looked without crowd noise in Buffalo rather than hoping butts in seats hurt Allen.
  3. Simply a horrible idea. Little did Hugo Chavez know that his Venezuelan playbook would be snapped up by US Democrats. Maybe we should approve a commission to study a two president proposal.
  4. And to quote Frank Thomas on those insufferable Nugenix commercials that Flutie does: "And she'll like him too."
  5. For me, it was quite significant. Three more counselling sessions and I'm told I will be recovered. Alas, one can only hope.
  6. To put a positive spin on this, I spent a fair amount of time with Jim Ritcher, a wall guy, and he is a super gent.
  7. I'd include Ko Simpson on the list. The year we drafted him I was at a UVA college baseball game and sat next to ag guy who said he was a regional scout for an NFL team, not the Bills, but he wouldn't say which team. I asked him what he thought of our draft, and specifically Ko Simpson. He kind of grimaced and said "Believe the Wonderlic." One guy I didn't dislike but could never figure out was Jeff Posey. The man simply never did anything.
  8. I've named a few in this thread, but nobody comes close to my disdain for Gregg Williams, though he wasn't a player. An absolute sleazeball.
  9. Lusteg was horrible. Barber was way over rated, on an offensive line that was really good, (Al Bemiller, Dick Hudson, Billy Shaw),and milked the organization to a front office position. Not a good tackle and a terrible front office guy. I could name ten more, but those come to mind.
  10. Kelvin Benjamin. Booth Lusteg. Stew Barber.
  11. I don't have to tell them. It's the Georgia voting law. Your hypothetical about a voter having to leave a line and come back and wait again because of a forgotten ID just isn't a necessary action. Again, they can vote provisionally without an ID. By the way, as a volunteer election officer for six years, I think I encountered one voter in my precinct who forgot ID. It just doesn't happen, and isn't a problem on the extremely rare cases it does. I had two guys who voted in every election who refused to provide ID, claiming it wasn't necessary. What they really wanted was to draw attention to themselves, and after witnessing the act the second time, I would see them come in, and when they got to the official, I would intervene and tell them to fill out a provisional ballot, and they both soon figured out nobody cared about their sermon. Wait times are a local precinct issue and completely unrelated to forgetting an ID.
  12. That is not necessary, at least in my state and most others, including Georgia by the way. You could submit a provisional ballot, and the eligibility is determined after the vote. No need for your scenario. Its a red herring.
  13. This disclosure that you don't need to buy that stuff may be life altering for me. Next you're going to tell me all my Husqvarna outdoor equipment was not made in Sweden. I know it is, because it says right on them "Husqvarna." That sure as heck isn't a Mexican or Chinese company. Either way, with all the deliveries scheduled, I've got to stand down.
  14. I just buy everything they offer, and I get right in. That isn't necessary? 😳 Oh well, pricey, but I've got a lot of interesting stuff coming.
  15. I use egg wash for the adherent on the salt/caraway, but the key is having an extremely tender thinly sliced beef. Got to get that right, and you're OK.
  16. The only thing missing from them are automatically flashing buffalo eyes, a smoking nose and a wagging tail whenever the Bills get a first down, turnover, touchdown or third down stop. If the battery issue could be resolved to make those happen, I'd be onboard.
  17. I would put Jacksonville at the top of the list. Poor team. Zero personality head coach. Lethargic fan base. The London thing.
  18. Has Carlos Danger prints all over it.
  19. All my life's a circle.
  20. My uncle had season tickets and took me to the Sep 22, 1963 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. I still remember the smell of the hot dogs cooked over charcoal when we walked to the seats. We sat behind Chief's wide receiver Chris Burford's parents. The game ended up in a tie, but I never forgot the atmosphere.
  21. You Vee Aye
  22. Ya. My kids were about the same age as Chris and Kyle, and I sat next to or close to Howie and Diane many times at many high school baseball games. I also had a small airplane at the time and I would talk to him occasionally before and after his trips to LA for the football pre-game show. He had a ratty old Sabreliner and we used to talk about it. FAA number was N75HL. (75 was his number and HL his initials). Registered to his LLC called "My Three Sons." He's since upgraded. Kyle was on the baseball track, then went to Florida State on a baseball scholarship. Forgot about the "school" part of college and was out before he threw his first pitch. Came home and got into a few typical college aged kid scrapes, alcohol underage, and a DWI. Then got his stuff together, went to the west coast and straightened out, concentrating on football and re-inventing himself. Great to see it all worked out.
  23. I always preferred Sainsbury's to Tesco. I got stuck there for ten days during that Icelandic volcano airspace shutdown. Figured I should get a job stocking shelves at the South Kensington Sainsbury's to pass the time.
