  1. Yes. Just like baseball not going the minimum. Game was only 9 minutes old!
  2. ***** no! We did the "classy thing" in 1921 and Halas, Staleys (Bears) screwed us! The Staley Swindle: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1921_NFL_championship_controversy
  3. Like baseball. The game is not official because it didn't get out of the 1st quarter. Baseball needs 4.5 innings (if home team is winning). That was more like not even 2 innings yesterday. Yup. Not official.
  4. Last year's playoff game between BFLo-KC was basically decided on a coin-flip. What's the harm. OR....We can fly Josh back to Cincy for a QB contest with Burrow. Whoever can throw it the farthest and run the fastest gets the win. 😏
  5. Cincy is butt hurt that they are defending AFC Champs, but Bills get more respect and press especially for the KC game last year. Angry people do angry things.
  6. Yeah... Assuming it's a machine where the operator sits outside. May not have ROPs (RollOverProtection). Curious to what happened here. Hope they say, because these things other people may learn from.
  7. Snowblower or plowing? They say plowing. How does one get hurt plowing? Crash into a tree/obstacle? Another vehicle? Small tractor and fell off it? Snowblower I can see... Like when Colorado Avalanche star Joe Sakic stuck his hand down the chute to unclog the machine. /smdh
  8. "...Life ain’t easy in fact I know it’s sleazy, when you’re the big man in town. Shakin’ religions and makin’ decisions, you never get to slow on down..."
  9. So was Cam Lewis batting ball down on 4th and a zillion miles, instead he was going for INT. Maybe... Just maybe, Bills have unfinished business to accomplish on the road for the Football Gods to be appeased? 😉
  10. Not looking good? They are officially eliminated. So much for Saleh seeing us again! 😆
  11. Yeah... But who would you rather see in a possible playoff game: The Cheats or the Dolfelons... Which one is easier? Who would you rather see bounced if BFLo doesn't get a bye? Miami or NE*? But if Tua comes back for playoffs? If there's no chance at getting the bye, say Bills lose to Cincy and they flex the Pats* game to late game. Losing to NE* bounces the Phins.
  12. Not anymore for the team with blades on their feet.😔😟🙁
  13. 😆 https://musebycl.io/advertising/even-bmw-now-making-fun-lexuss-big-red-bow-holiday-ads "I CAN'T WAIT to see what you got your mother!"
  14. Or just ShootingTheShit. I wouldn't say faceless. Place to make friends and meet up at games. Only toxic if you want it to be.
  15. That's the thing about driving bans in stuff like this. How does one save people. You'd... Think maybe they should start a program like volunteer fireman. Or maybe like a Coast Guard Auxiliary (USCGA) program. Sanction certain groups to aid in rescue by first checking their private equipment and vehicles to make sure they pass rigorous standards to survive in the snow. Just like on the water. Then, when a storm kicks up... Emergency Services has auxiliary to help. Just saying... Something has got to change. As much as driving bans help... They may be killing people too!
  16. I think his commentary on Facebook was around 2008. I tell people all the time when they ask why I never had a Facebook account: "Ask Pope Benedict." (Bad enough getting off this place)
  17. I don't think he was a villain. Changing times. I did agree with previous poster... But in general.
  18. Elvis is in my wife. The cats come to the door to greet her... I say: "Elvis is entering the building." When she leaves, I announce: "Elvis has left the building!" This can spin-off to an all Elvis channel/thread...
  19. Agree. AND moving The Church to more tolerance with gays? First German in 500 years (coincided w/the Reformation?) But... He was spot on with social media. Blind squirrel finds a nut. Broken clock right twice a day I suppose...
  20. RIP. He's one of the first one's that warned about Facebook and social media and it's destructive pitfalls during social media's infancy. I never made accounts outside of this place (if you consider it social media) thanks to his sage words and warnings. 😏
  21. Wow! God giveth, God taketh. Maybe the almighty knows to get ready for rounds 3, 4, and 5. It's only the end of December. All merciful for letting each round melt. 😉
  22. Yup! During the "Children's/Schoolhouse Blizzard of 1888" on the plains... Pretty smart thinking. The rescuers anchored a rope to the closest house and then went to the schoolhouse and anchored it there and then rescued the children. "Near Zeona, South Dakota: The children at the local school were rescued. Two men tied a rope to the closest house and headed for the school. There, they tied off the other end of the rope, and led the children to safety." Another 1888 story: "Mira Valley, Nebraska: Minnie Freeman safely led thirteen children from her schoolhouse to her home, one and a half miles (2.4 km) away. The rumor she used a rope to keep the children together during the blinding storm is widely circulated, but one of the children claimed it was not true. All of her pupils survived. That year, "Song of the Great Blizzard: Thirteen Were Saved" or "Nebraska's Fearless Maid",was written and recorded in her honor by William Vincent and published by Lyon & Healy. In 1967, a Venetian glass mural of The Schoolhouse Blizzard of 1888 by Jeanne Reynal was installed on the west wall of the north bay in the Nebraska State Capitol building in Lincoln, Nebraska, for the 1967 Centennial Celebration. The mural, in a semi-abstract style, portrays a purported incident in which a schoolteacher, Minnie Freeman, tied her children together with a clothesline and led them through the storm to safety."

  24. Wow! I didn't know it was that much. Nice. I think as population density goes, Japan snowiest place. ??
  25. "Holidays must end as you know. All is memory taken home with me: The opera, the stolen tea, the sand drawing, the verging sea, all years ago."
