Did you mean extemporaneous?

Awesome. Would be a great addition to my youngest son's 'man cave'. But he's off to college next year so hope you find someone younger.

Fair enough. I disagree with your take that it's a "big fat nothing burger" — millions of New Yorkers and a thousands of emergency workers would dispute that, — but I now see that you question his coaching ability, as you and we all should.
Sorry if my quote didn't reflect the entire substance of your message. But I don't like McDermott and this has me a little more hopeful he will be fired so I'm a little trigger happy.
Just to be clear I think there's a strong argument that McD should be fired solely on his merits as a coach.
I also think that the way he attempted to use 9/11 as a motivational tactic was a serious lapse in judgement. I don't take that lightly, my sister-in-law lost her father that day.
My nothing burger comment had to do with relating Sean's firing to the 2019 incident. I see no relationship between the two - particularly since he supposedly addressed the 2019 incident shortly after it happened.

What ability to bring us a championship?
McDermott has had multiple years with a generational quarterback and has yet to win a conference championship.Thanks for sub-quoting me and losing the context of my post. Good on ya!

Presumably everyone on the board sees Sean's choice of motivational tactic back in 2019 in a negative light.
But does anyone see this as a true reflection of the man or was it just a seriously misguided lapse in judgement?
My current thinking is it's a big fat nothing burger and nothing to do with his ability to bring us a championship the past few years. On the other hand I do question whether his coaching ability will keep us from winning a championship - but that topic has been debated ad nauseum.

We play there every season. That reception will be ugly
For sure - assuming McD is still around - due to this or football reasons.

You have chartreuse??
Green or yellow
The bottles that have been produced are still available but yeah I do not think you could find 151 made today
It's been awhile since It's been on the shelves - rumor was that the lawsuits from injuries due to flaming shots became too much - and I have nothing to back that up except rumor. I always thought it was funny that the bottle had a screen on it. A local store had 151 Cruzan for awhile but I haven't seen that in at least a year or two.

This whole article just feels dirty and pathetic.
The 9/11 comments were unbelievably stupid. It's hard to believe someone can be that dumb. But you can tell from McDermotts press conference today he was remorseful. I believe him when he said he apologized after it happened.
It happened years ago. I see zero need for it to be made public now, zero need for this article at all.
McDermott needs to be fired. We all know that from what we see in the field. This article was completely unnecessary and a pathetic plea for attention.
If this ends up being McD's undoing my comparison is Capone getting put away due to tax evasion.

Imagine if this story came out right before week 1 this season.
McDermott would not have been safe in that stadium.
LOL - I just texted the same thought to my Jet fan friend (before seeing your comment). Ironically he's a guy that told me recently he thought McD is a good coach.

A friend of ours is moving out of her place and gave to us 10 boxes of liquors and maybe some wines (have not opened all boxes)
I opened two cases and I found
Jaquin's rum x2,
Myers's rum "Original Dark:,
Ron Bacardi 151 Puerto Dark Rum,
Seagrams Seven Crown Whiskey x3,
Old-Grand whiskey,
Crown Royal blended Canadian whiskey,
Hiram Walker cherry flavored brandy,

I drink a little these days but could not finish this many bottles before my death bed.
Send the 151 my way. Pretty sure they stopped making that years ago. Haven't found a consistent replacement since - and who doesn't need a floater on their summer rum drinks!

Guys, just look at this. It's freaking surreal. I know we're discussing it but seeing it as a headline blows my mind...
Said this earlier, but listening to NYC sports radio guys getting hot and bothered about this on my way home from work was an eye opener. I tune in to bask in the latest Zach/Saleh/Jets bashing and instead I get this?
-
Left the office around 5 PM down here on Long Island, flipped on sports radio and all they were talking about was McD. Someone was incredulous that he coached at MetLife on 9/11. Has it come out when the comments were made? I was following this thread earlier today but haven't seen that.
On a separate note, Sean owned up to the comments so I guess he has some level of accountability, lol.
EDIT: just saw elsewhere that it was 2019 training camp

Good for him. A class act and a guy I'd have been more than happy to manage my team.

I refuse to give up on the season with a quarter of it still left
It's beyond me why anyone would give up on the season given the talent we have. I'm not overly optimistic - I see the warts we all see - just seems like some folks are more interested in the hope of the offseason (when no games/championships can be won) over what's possible and right in front of us.

I wouldn't spend any time on Off The Wall if it weren't for The Stadium Wall. I come to the site predominantly for Bills news and opinions.
But I post far more on OTW. Topics and posters tend to me lighter and more humorous. More often than not any opinion I have on the Bills has already posted in TSW by the time I see a thread. Plus I'm not interested in the 'mine is bigger than yours' mentality of posters convinced their opinion is right and everyone else is an idiot that I see more on TSW than on OTW. I love opposing opinions but have no time for know-it-alls when it comes to opinions.

OK.....did you watch FSU vs. Louisville and Alabama vs. Georgia? If so, are you really ready to say that FSU is even almost as good as either Bama or Georgia? They are not even in the same class as either of those teams.
I really dont think that there are many people in the world that think FSU, especially missing their quarterback, would stand a chance against those two powerhouses. Sorry, I can't understand how anyone could think this, especially given the fact that they are coached by Saban and Smart..
I watched the better part of both of those games and I really made no assertion as to which teams I think were as good as Bama or Georgia.
What I took exception to was your comments about past SEC champions. My assumption was that you were using that as justification for an SEC team being included this year. Were you? If so, why? If not, why bring it up? IMO it's irrelevant - and it makes me question whether it was a factor in excluding FSU.
BTW, I find the missing their QB argument exceedingly weak - although from what I gather in this thread it is a selection criteria - which tells me it's more about TV ratings than rewarding regular season success.

How many Alabama fans in this thread actually graduated from Alabama?
lmfao - I have a close friend who moved away years ago, never went to college, ended up connecting with some Michigan fans, had a great time at a game in the Big House and now I get the Go Blue texts from him. Which are countered by another close friend who is a fan of OSU despite probably never setting foot in the state of Ohio. As an out of market Bills fan I have no issue with anyone rooting for any team for any reason (as long as their loyal). Myself? I went to a school that was an NCAA D-1 hockey champion when I attended which was really cool - but I feel no real allegiance to the school that I paid to attend.
Long story longer- it's funny how we choose and defend our allegiances to sports teams.

As I said in a previous post, I know little about Michigan. Yolo, Willyville Guy, and many other posters do follow the Big 10 and I hope that they chime in.
Your question about UGA is a very good one. I think that Georgia is far superior to Washington. This of course doesn't mean that I am correct. Obviously I am partial to the SEC and lack a great deal of respect for other conferences but yes, UGA is clearly one of the 4 best teams.
The above is of course jmo. It is not an all knowing proclamation and I know that the Alabama haters are butt hurt. Still, a few of facts do remain:
1) Georgia won 29 straight games, 2 consecutive national titles, was raanked #1 for most of the season and Alabama defeated them, in Georgia.
2) The last four national titles were won by LSU, Alabama, Georgia, and Georgia.
This has to be indicative of something, no?
And btw I appreciate the dialogue.
It's indicative of past performance. Shouldn't be considered at all when choosing the 2023 top 4 imo.

My favorite restaurants are the ones where I have no reluctance ordering something different off the menu. I also have restaurants where I pretty much order the same thing every time.
As a general rule, any time I see short rib, swordfish or (local caught) striped bass it's a safe bet that's what I'll order.

Bills and Jets both win out, other things happen and both make the playoffs (as per the ESPN playoff machine this is possible). Rodgers returns for a Bills/Jets playoff game - blows his Achilles again and Zach leads the Jets to victory.

Im bummed noone has mentioned Jamie Miller the drummer for Bad Religion. I met him at a show a couple years ago. He was sitting in with a band my son was a member of for a short while called Vanishing Life. We bonded over pitbulls. I volunteer for a pittie rescue and he owns one who he loves and adores. He talked about where he has to keep his dog when he goes out on tour. He tours a LOT and worldwide. Very nice guy. Im guessing he is in his 40's
Cool! If it's any consolation he's the one band member I didn't poke fun at in my Bad Religion post - he looked the part of a rocker more than the rest of the band. Regardless my silly observations the entire band rocked - had the relentless vibe of a Ramones show which is high praise from where I type.

Tyler Dunne story on McDermott - 3 parts, 25 interviews, one damning conclusion
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
If the stipulation is that we've never heard of an act of kindness like this occurring on another team I'd counter with my doubt that fans of other NFL teams have any awareness that it happened with the Bills. From my corner of the earth the only part of the article that had any legs is the 9/11 reference - and even that appears to be in the rear view mirror already.
