  1. Only 8 or 9 games a year.. Play in other states that have income taxes, I believe they can tax the "work" in that state.
  2. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/nfl-football-political_n_59c91815e4b06ddf45f9b002 "...Today, the league has its own political action committee and has poached political communications gurus and strategists away from high-ranking political positions. And it likely isn’t a coincidence that its federal lobbying expenditures have increased in recent years as lawmakers have re-examined its erstwhile tax-exempt status (which the NFL gave up voluntarily in 2015), its antitrust exemption (which it has fought to expand), the racist name of one of its teams, the legality of daily fantasy sports and sports gambling, and the brain injuries that plague the sport. The NFL, too, has allegedly used its considerable power to steer money away from certain federal government-sponsored studies into head trauma and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), the degenerative brain disease that has been found in dozens of deceased football players. ..." "...The same is true of the current protests, on which the NFL’s default position is unavoidably political. Its choice to play the national anthem before games; its embrace of the singular view of patriotism that says wrapping yourself in the American flag is the only way to express love for your country; its unquestioned love of the military and military symbolism, from fighter jet flyovers to camouflage uniform accoutrements to the millions of dollars its teams took from the Pentagon to promote the military’s causes ― these are all forms of political speech, of the sort that has wrongly fed the notion that players kneeling during the national anthem to protest America’s ongoing racial injustices are somehow, first and foremost, disrespecting America’s troops. ..." “There is no such thing as a politically agnostic NFL, and the NFL we know today would not exist if there were.”
  3. So in other words. You can deliver the mail, do their job, as long as you pay. How convenient! 😆 "... "Postage" is defined as: Payment for a delivery service that is affixed or imprinted to a mailpiece, usually in the form of a postage stamp, permit imprint, or meter impression. ..."
  4. Yeah... Because it's not a box. Don't usually have "Postmaster General approved" on them... ...Well anyway, this lady knew her legal ***** before stuffing that fish in the slot! 😆 I should bring up my lawn chem guy up on charges! 😆... He always sticks the bill after he's done in my mailbox. 😆
  5. There's a time and place. It's Memorial Day & 11/11... Not brainwashing every Sunday. That's what bootcamp is for. 😉 😜
  6. You just tried to make me... "We wouldn't have a country without our military." That's a major guilt trip your playing. I don't feel guilty... But some would. Why are you laying on a guilt trip?
  7. Yeah... That's every country. We shouldn't have to be guilted into paying homage, tribute at every turn. "Great countries have their heros, it's the sad countries that need them."
  8. But that's a slit in a house? I don't think that applies...
  9. You mean: "We wouldn’t have a country without France 🇫🇷." 😆
  10. The US has moved away from a melting pot to a mosaic. The cracks show when you look too close. We moved away from a common national theme, narrative. Hanging on to that theme has been politicized, especially by one side who wants to retain that patriotic narrative. But my wife being a NYT subscriber might actually start to get into sports. Call it a wash. She was just asking me: "Who's Antonio Brown?" I said: "A silly labor struggle." 😆... It piqued her interest. Did I get too political? 😏
  11. "...Mem'ries may be beautiful and yet What's too painful to remember We simply choose to forget So it's the laughter we will remember Whenever we remember the way we were The way we were" I want the seat we sat in during the 2009 Cleveland game when the Bills lost 6-3. My life is worthless without that bench. I will gladly pay 8 dollars for it! 😌...
  12. They make winter performances tires. Why is he driving that in the winter? 😆
  13. Her colon logjam is NOTHING a BK "Bacon Triple Stacker" couldn't clear! Boy... That perverted customer is in for a really treat when he opens that jar! 😆 Smells like it came right off the flame-broiled grill!
  14. Have you no shame! There's a poor lady in the hospital because she was selling her farts out of jar for $30,000 a week. Sickos like you guys are driving this lovely lady into occupational health hell! https://metro.co.uk/2022/01/04/90-day-fiance-star-selling-farts-in-a-jar-for-38k-a-week-hospitalised-15863914/?ito=socialmetrouktwitter Think of the poor workers out there!
  15. So... Then, the push it all the way down... Let it cascade over edge of upper deck into lower bowl? I wonder if the crank the heaters in the clubs to help it or would that just make things worse, freezing and melted water. I've would suck on the steps!
  16. Probably skirting some issues here. Notice it's a mail slot. ??? What say ye @BringBackFergy?
  17. Back breaking? Start at the top... Push with one hand... When you get to the bottom of the stadium... That's when you quite. Seriously... Pretty easy to just push it down... Run a shovel over benches to aisle....Then push it down. YET... Hate to be waiting to tackle the pile at bottom. I wonder where they put in the upper deck?
  18. Nice reference! 😆... The Donger need rest! No more yanky my wanky!
  19. $0 PSL You were 10 years old. You couldn't have surely paid your dues. Sure your parents didn't sneak you in for free? LoL... That's why you stood! And... Now want seats.😆 Thank You... That'll be $0.05.
  20. This was just on NPR yesterday... On "Forum" https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101887174/a-beginners-guide-to-bay-area-mushroom-foraging https://www.kqed.org/forum/
  21. With clinching the Division on the line? You be the boss with: https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/ $8 ticket is $0.85 in 1960 when the 2nd BFLo Bills team had its inaugural season.
  22. That's a redundant name. There's a whole list of them. A few come to mind: La Brea Tarpits = The Tarpits Tarpits Lake Tahoe = Lake Lake Laguna Lake = Lake Lake Lake Michigan = Lake Big Lake Lake Ontario = Lake Pretty Lake Chai Tea = Tea Tea For @GoBills808: Ala Wai Canal = Canal Canal 😁😆 Tautological... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tautological_place_names https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundant_place_name
