  1. No incorrect opinions in this thread. Yes, you need to pay attention in high risk areas of the ballpark. Yes you need to consider the risk of sitting there with a young child or senior. However, expecting thousands of people to be at the ready every pitch and have both the eye sight, the reflexes and the strength to defend themselves against a 100 mph foul ball or hockey puck is beyond ludicrous. The stands aren't full of athletes with gloves -- they are full of ordinary people. There isn't any question the netting should be extended at baseball parks just as it was at hockey arenas. For the NHL it took a little girl's death to finally get it changed. Maybe baseball will get their act together before that happens in a MLB park. And a huge thumbs up to Freddy Galvis for putting this issue in the public eye.
  2. You actually haven't shown you can play in this league when you have 500 career yards + did nothing except get hurt when you had the chance to start + earned a 4 game suspension + showed up to camp so fat you can't even practice. The Bills have better places to invest their time, energy and money when it comes to running backs.
  3. Do those traditions include 2000, 2004, the 2016 Republican primary, the Brexit vote, etc., or just landslides?
  4. Maybe because they are two different people and not robots off an assembly line. Eddie Lacy was a dominant college back coming off back to back 1100+ yard seasons for GB when he come in overweight last year; not a guy who could never manage to stay in his college team's starting lineup, fell to the fifth round, got hurt halfway through his rookie year and earned himself a 4 game suspension. Really, it's a pretty poor comparison. Not to mention the fact that Lacy looked like crap for much of last year at 260 and received a ton of heat for it, so that's not exactly a blueprint for success with lesser running backs.
  5. Snapple has more sugar than a Coke. Vile stuff.
  6. Yup. On draft day everyone here wants to find the hidden gems and the great values in the 5th round, but when one of those fifth rounders turns out to be a bust between the ears, people for some reason get all outraged. Meanwhile, if they draft Ed Wang and he just sucks, the same people want to know why they didn't draft a guy with more potential.
  7. Wait, now they cut last year's ypc leader Mike Gillislee??? Stop the madness!!
  8. Big deal; everyone fell in love with him based on a tiny sample size but he was a complete flash in the pan. Injuries, irresponsibility, no commitment to his profession. Fug him. At this point I was already more interested in seeing what Gillislee, Williams and Wilder had to offer.
  9. Good call, even if it's probably WRONG!!! "Metaphysical certitude....." Damn I'm gonna miss that program.
  10. Great stuff in track tonight. Women 4x100 blew the doors off the field and watching Bolt run was a treat as always. He'll be missed.
  11. Not when you consider it was all planned well in advance. Scary ****.
  12. Crappy result for this Olympian: http://nypost.com/2016/08/19/olympic-speed-walker-collapses-in-sad-puddle-of-his-own-poop/
  13. But he's right that the housewives take it to a whole new level. Five cunty women sitting around sniping at each other, only to break away to one-on-one interviews every so often so each on them can recount all the sniping from her POV. Apparently this is what happens every single episode in every one of these shows.
  14. Got any other decades old news you'd like to share?
  15. The 800m?? I was thinking the same thing on one of those heats.
  16. If I see one more !@#$ing thread about a key Patriot* being injured --- but not really being injured at all -- I'm going to !@#$ing kill someone.
  17. That was a pretty clear case of interference. They deserve another shot.
  18. Was driving the kids this morning and they wanted me to put in the CD they borrowed from the library. First song comes on and it's Cheech singing about the school bus. Cracked me up -- love that he's still doing stuff like that.
  19. By "back in the day" do you mean two weeks ago? lol MG has been the best political show for decades. And despite the rep, JM usually said very little.
  20. 1. Darby, because Gilmore won't be here after this season. 2. Paris Hilton -- got famous for doing nothing except ten minutes of amateur porn; spawned a generation of copy cats. 3. Trading Places; Mozart’s ‘Mariage of Figarro' 4. Nick Folk's 53 yard FG on MNF following a recovered onside kick. That's how the Bills should win their first SB, on a long FG. 5. Pat Buchanan calmly explaining to Eleanor Clift why she's wrong.
  21. I remember Tawny Kitaen from the Tom Hanks masterpiece Bachelor Party.
