Final Vote—All States, Progress in counting
Buftex replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
President Biden should go Coney Barrett and say he is an "originalist" too...if he feels uncomfortable with packing the cours, un-pack them...go back to the original six. Sorry, Neil, Brett and Amy, we no longer have need for your services... -

He did. Biden has about a 20,000 lead -
I got Biden in a squeeker...273-265.

2020 Election is officially Trump vs Biden
Buftex replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
You seem to be working hard to convince yourself Lumpy is going to win...just sit back and relax... it isn't going to make a difference if you convince everyone here that he is going to win Florida. Take a breath... -

Never underestimate the lure of Cult 45 -
I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. I think the daughter character stole the show.

The barbarians are attacking. Rome may fall.

The drama of the Trumpkins is killing me! -
Kinda the same for me...though I still want to see a little more from Moss. I was fearing he was a "bust", so one good game doesn't get him off the hot seat for me...but it is a start. I want to see him get the hard yards on a consistent basis.

Do you remember the only NFL game without TV announcers?
Buftex replied to LB48's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If you watch any of the NFL Films hilights from this season (Like "Inside the NFL" or "Turning Point") it sounds weird, how silent everything is, on the field. Different sport, I know, but Boston Bruins goaltender Tuuka Rask opted out of the bubble, in the middle " Of course, it didn't go over well with fans (and likely the team) but he said it was just extra hard to get the juices flowing for games without crowds. Also, saw a little interview with Erin Andrews after doing a Bucs game earlier in this season. She said (paraphrasing) "I knew the guys swore a lot, but until you are down there on the field, in a game without fans, you just have no idea how much swearing they really do. If people only knew how many F bombs Tom Brady drops, they would be shocked..." -

Buftex replied to LB48's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think if they ever went with no broadcasters that people (lord knows how much we love to B word about evertything) would complain about how boring it was. I remember this game, and remember thinking it was terrible at the time. As bad as some announcers may (or may not be), you always have the option of turning the volume down. If you watch this way, you really do miss a lot of the game. -
Dontari Poe to be released by Cowboys
Buftex replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Cases like these are not always necessarily performance involved. The Cowboys are basically blowing it all up, it seems. They have a bunch of older, pricey vets...purge them, and let the younger guys get some play time. I recall him being a very good player at one time, not so long ago. He would fill a big need, and if he sucks, he wouldn't cost us much. Sometimes, an older vet with something to prove, can be a valuable asset. The Bills want to make a move this year, toward building a winner...we have a lot of talent, but are missing some pieces. I just don't see the harm in giving a guy like him a shot...unless they determine his skills have dropped so much. -
Dontari Poe to be released by Cowboys
Buftex replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I am not so good with cap suff.… if we traded for him, how much of his 2020 salary are we responsible for? Last I heard, we only had about 3.5mill in cap space. A guy like him would most likely eat that up pretty quick. -
Dontari Poe to be released by Cowboys
Buftex replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If Washington thinks he can still play (he was great in KC), and they can get him for the rest of the season as a FA, I would definitely be interested. The "window" doesn't stay open forever. -

Um...Poe didn't play for the Panthers when McDermott was there. -
Why Did You Become a Buffalo Bills Fan?
Buftex replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Something I was born into. My cognizant sports memories are of Dennis Shaw as QB for the Bills. We shared a first name. Simple as that. I suppose, had it not been for Shaw, I would have been caught up in OJ-mania like every other kid I knew, a year or two later. -
Easily, the most annoying woman in America
Buftex replied to Unforgiven's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Well, if the OP was adhering to this, he wouldn't be saying "the most annoying woman". The PPP incel is having a rough time the last month or so.... -
No. My comment was basically and agreement with Backintheday544 observation that Trump has actively set out to make it easier for presidential corruption. The damage he is doing to the office is immeasurable. We have learned from Trump that so much of what we beleived a president could or couldn't do was based on having an essentially moral person holding the office. When you have someone with no moral compass, and a wing-man like Bill Barr, it brings to light just how little check there is on unscrupulous president. I suspect the next president, after Trump (whether in 2021 or 2025) will be charged with attempting to put the toothpaste back in the tube, and come up with some sort of law reform, redefining the powers of the presidency.

I gotta confess...living in Cowboys country, I hated him...until he signed with us! Now I think he is super underrated!

Why did Gregg Williams fail as a Head Coach?
Buftex replied to JetsFan20's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I guess you are right. But something to remember (I m not defending him...I can't stand the guy), some of the "dirty" things he has been associated with, were not necessarily considered "dirty" at one time. We never heard (that I remember anyways) any stories about him being dirty, until he got to New Orleans. What was acceptable, or at least tolerated with a nod and a wink at one time, is now completely unacceptable...if exposed. Bill Parcells, Buddy Ryan...a lot of the legendary coaches from bygone eras built their reputations using similar tactics as Williams. I remember Parcells admitting as much, at one time...and then backed off of it, because the backlash he got. I still think NFL players are tough as nails...but the game is just a little "softer" now, for lack of a better word. Gregg Williams is just the wrong man, in the wrong time. If the bulk of his career had been in the 1980's and 1990's he would be thought of in better terms, or just forgotten about. -
Why did Gregg Williams fail as a Head Coach?
Buftex replied to JetsFan20's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What exactly was the "stunt" he pulled last week? Pointing fingers at the offense? As I remember he was a fairly abbrasive and grating personality. If a guy is going to have such a strong personality, he has to win, or he isn't going to last long as an NFL headcoach. Personally, I think he is a decent coordinator, but I think the reason he has never received another head coaching job is his ego has always seem to gotten him in hot water with the head coach of any stop he has made, since Buffalo. You don't work well with others, nobody really wants to let you run the show. It is a results and word of mouth business. The only successful program he has been affillliated since leaving Buffalo, was the Saints, and he embarassed that franchise. The only jobs he has been able to get are with bad franchises, with coaches that are perpetually on "the hot seat". -
No doubt the White House kitchen staff will be up for a challenge, after four years of "hamberders", extra well-done steaks with ketchup and buckets of KFC.
