Speeding ticket in southeast georgia yesterday
Cynical replied to The Poojer's topic in Off the Wall Archives
If you scour and read the law, then you should be aware of something called "Court Rules" or "Rules of Court". Approaching the bench before asking is usually a big fat no-no. It goes beyond common courtesy into orderly conduct, ethics, and possible legality. Imagine if counsel had the right to approach the bench any time they felt like it. You would have cases turn into utter chaos. Besides, what looks to you as innocent, looks to somebody else as preferential treatment (a/k/a "favoring a side"). That leads to a potential appeal or, in extreme cases, whether or not the person is capable of being a judge. I understand your situation. The case was over and you just wanted clarification. Regardless, you should have asked to approach the bench. Be happy the only thing you got was scolded. Depending on how much authority he had, he could've slapped you contempt. -
No, hell no. Incognito is decent guard with a **** ton of baggage. The Bills have decent guards and can find others WITHOUT the baggage.

Crikey! That looks like a future mug shot or "Most Wanted" picture

If his college career is any indicator, reading the QB eyes should not be a problem. Christ, Evans made Johnny Manziel into first round pick.

Donald Trump asked to invest in the Bills
Cynical replied to Canadian Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Nope. Once the owners decided to scrap/circumvent the Dixon plan, it was over. They just didn't realize it. David Dixon, the original creator of the USFL, realized a spring league was viable as long as the league and it's owners controlled spending. The owners forced Dixon out and went on a bit of a spending spree signing guys like Herschel Walker, Jim Kelly, Steve Young, etc .. to ridiculous contracts. Because of the spending, many of the owners lost money, which lead to general league instability. Teams changed owners, folded, merged, and/or relocated. By the time the league decided to sue the NFL, the USFL was already over $100M in debt and on the verge of going under. Yep. The jury thought the Judge would set damages, so they awarded $1 to the USFL. (Damages were triple the award.) -

"Dabo" is a nickname. His real name is William Christopher. -

Trump and his USFL co-horts abandoned the original plan in year one. They were the ones that killed the league even before it got going. -
Donald Trump asked to invest in the Bills
Cynical replied to Canadian Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah, because he was such a great owner of the USFL NJ Generals. Trump and some of the other owners undermining is what brought the USFL crashing down. The only way he would be a good owner is to fork over his investment, sit in the corner, and STFU. 1.) Ralph Wilson was a businessman. He owned and ran several successful companies over the years. Not just the Bills. 2.) Trump is also a businessman. He also has been part of bankruptcy 3-4 times during his life. Yet this is the guy you think would make a great owner. 3.) As for Trump not tolerating any losing, reference: USFL NJ Generals. Donald Trump is a Marketing Man. He knows how to market himself and his companies. When it comes to actually running them, he's an idiot. -

Not quite. If Trump and others did not push to take on the NFL, then Kelly never signs with the USFL to begin with. Trump and others did not want to wait 10-15 years for the USFL to become big enough like the NFL. They wanted to play with the big boys right out of the gate. So they offered and signed players like Kelly and Herschel Walker to ridiculous contracts. Three years and a crap load of debt later, the USFL had no choice but to sue the NFL and grab a chunk of the revenue stream. If anything, if Trump and the others had stuck to the original plan, there would have been 2 football leagues (unless the merged), and the Bills would still have kept Kelly. -
Preferably, I want a QB that's willing to take chances AND has the ability to back it up. Otherwise he's just feeding the defense INT's. (see Fitzpatrick, Ryan) JM succeeded in his chances because he had Mike Evans on the receiving end. Without Evans, Johnny Manziel is another Colt McKoy type player, and a third round prospect.

He did? That's funny, remind me again how many National Championships did Johnny Football/Texas A&M win? I'll make it easier for you. How many SEC Championships has Johnny Football/Texas A&M won? Still struggling? How about a SEC division title? Here's what Johnny Football led Texas A&M teams did against Bama: They won one game.

And what do you think will happen once he gets to the NFL? The media and him will sit in a circle, hold hands, and sing "Kum By Yah"? We are talking about 19-20 olds. We are also talking one in particular that had to seek counseling to help him deal with anger issues. (He destroyed a set of golf clubs over a parking ticket). Daddy Manziels response: "They are harassing (Johnny). They know who's car that is." Wait till the local media publishes a story regarding what Johnny football gives out on Halloween. Should get real interesting then.

How about a Moment of Silence for Ralph Wilson

Exactly. 15-20 years ago, it was a big deal, especially for those fans that did not live in the WNY area. The national press was about the only way to get Bills news. Today, with the Internet, finding Bills related info its not that hard.

Yep. Can't forget about the Sand Flies a/k/a "No See Um's", either. Those little bastards are so small they can fit through a screen. -

Check out the Bills' redesigned uniforms!
Cynical replied to Tipster19's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Check out his facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mr-Design-Junkie/208307940215 He doesn't limit himself to just the NFL or football for that matter. Up top, he has the phrase: "Creativity...one helluva drug!!!" In his case, more like meth. -
Jameis Winston saying he's staying 2 more years

Charlie Ward 2.0? -
No, it will not. There are these things called a "salary cap" and the "collective bargaining agreement". The reality is, a 10 year vet that is earning vet minimum is still more expensive than a 7th round draft pick playing out his rookie contract.

I think you need to clarify your question. I am not sure what you want the truth on. Do external transmission coolers exist? Yes. Do they work? Yes. (Manufacturers will sometimes add an OEM version when a vehicle gets equipped with a factory towing package. Depends on the vehicle). Are there universal ones? Yes. I am a bit puzzled by his reason for recommending one though. He clearly stated the radiator caused the overheating, but why? Is it too small? Older, partially plugged?

To clarify, PTC and Tyrone are in Fayette County, not Fulton, and are situated along the Fayette - Coweta county line.

The Varsity blows. I would rather eat the chili cheese pups from Krystal. Brandi's World Famous Hot Dogs are much better, and consistently ranks near the top as Atlanta's best hot dog. For those transplants looking for a little taste of Buffalo, NY, Barkers Red Hots serves up charcoal grilled Sahlen's.

A List For Future SB Half Time Entertainment
Cynical replied to T master's topic in Off the Wall Archives
AC/DC? Just say no. I love AC/DC (favorite group in fact), but you go to an AC/DC concert to watch Angus play live. If the requirements for a halftime show are: International appeal Young listeners Prerecorded music Then LMFAO or the chubby Korean guy (Psy?) would have been better choices. Or let's go with people who know are all about playing prerecorded music "live": Mophead (Skrillex) or Deadmau5 IMHO, I would like to see Rodrigo Y Gabriela play. But it will never happen. Not flashy enough. -
Jameis Winston wearing Bills gear on Twitter
Cynical replied to BillsFanForever19's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
When it comes to the NCAA, do not assume anything. IF ... EJ did give JW that gear, it would be a violation of NCAA rules. Taken from the Boise State donor guide: So what is a potential extra benefit violation? Looks like a violation to me. A better question to ask: Will the NCAA follow up and prosecute such a minor violation? Edit: I am not advocating they do follow up. Just pointing out good old fashioned NCAA "logic".
