  1. Glad the Pats didn't get him. Good year for us to get the AFC South considering we would've had to play them anyways. GET STEVEN NELSON!!!
  2. Stimulus checks aren't needed at this point and that discriminates against people who already did the right thing and got the vaccine. If there's ever one of these novel virus outbreaks again it would be foolish to get the vaccine right away (if you're lucky enough to be in a low risk demographic) until the best possible incentive is presented to you. That means waiting. I like Ohio's weekly one million dollar lottery system idea where all vaccinated adults were able to enter and they say a 28% increase of the vaccination rate of 16 and older. Make that program national.
  3. Beane also didn't help with his unprompted comment suggesting decisions may be made for the bubble players based on whether they're vaccinated or not. I don't like where this is going at all as trust issues between the players, coaches, and upper management could develop over this issue. Something that hasn't seemed to be a problem since McBeane got here.
  4. Just for reference....Maybin got 15 million guaranteed when the salary cap was set at about $60m less than it is now. I am NOT saying he's another Aaron Maybin but thank god for the rookie wage scale.
  5. You and I aren't that far off but I just need more evidence of him covering up for China if it was a lab leak. I think you're correct in that he wanted to get in the right eyes of the media. Trump suggested hydroxychloroquine and it could've been a lab leak. The media overreacted like always with everything Trump said instead of looking at it objectively. Fauci then constantly pushed for new and experimental drugs over established drugs that might help. He also dismissed the lab leak theory as conspiracy to appease the media. I fall into the category of I think Trump and Fauci did a terrible job in messaging but an okay job in managing the crises overall.
  6. Criminally undervalued? Come on. He's been average in the run game and poor in pass coverage. He should be better than last year but I don't ever expect him to fall into the elite tier of linebackers.
  7. You give him too much credit and you're going to need actual evidence to prove your theory. I agree with you about his quest for fame though.
  8. Did he have to give all those interviews where he just seemed to confuse people more? Did he have to do a magazine shoot in the middle of a pandemic? If he's just following the science why didn't he speak out louder against the lack of social distancing during the protests following the George Floyd death?
  9. The Colts playoff game before halftime with Davis dragging his toes twice on the sideline. A 96 yard drive after a defensive stand at the goal line that concluded with a Josh Allen (you can never do this if your life depended on it Phillip Rivers) rushing TD. I don't even think the celestial Patrick Mahomes could've pulled that off.
  10. SHOCKER. These e-mails are being viewed through the prism of whatever preconceived biases you have. If you're on the left Fauci is a hero who simply adapted with the ever changing science and refused to be corrupted by Trump. If you're on the right he was a flip flopper who became the human symbol of what they viewed as over restrictive measures (masks, lockdowns, etc.) and was controlled by the WHO who got their orders from China. I liked him at first but then he started to give too many interviews with too many unnecessary predictions. Then he posed for a magazine (Newsweek?) maskless in the middle of a pandemic last summer. Fame had gotten to his head (he somehow had time to write a book) and he should've been replaced then. I trust highly regarded doctors more than politicians but he became a politician.
  11. Josh does take a lot of chances but luckily the zip on his throws prevents a lot of the interceptions as DB's just can't handle it.
  12. When I log in from my phone there's a full page ad in order to get to the forums. Just on my phone though. I consider taking two seconds to hit the x button in the upper corner to get to the forums my personal Vietnam.
  13. I can't find the article you two are bickering about as Woods either deleted the tweet or twitter did for him.
  14. It's a matter of opinion. It was the best of the original Star Trek movies but there were some significant plot holes and unnecessary story lines for me to rank it above those two. Plus, we all pretty much knew Spock was coming back for the sequels so the emotions of Spock's death felt contrived in retrospect with his space burial being on the planet "Genesis."
  15. They want a full house which means more money and the unvaccinated sections were getting in the way of that. It's the opposite of virtue signaling.
  16. I would add Terminator 2: Judgement Day and The Dark Knight to that list. Easily. I'd put them above Star Trek II at least.
  17. Brady will be top 5 and probably number 1 or 2 even though he doesn't deserve it for all the reasons you mentioned. He was #14 last year and it was arguably the worst year since his first few in the early 2000's.
  18. That's a good one as I completely forgot about that play pry because we were behind at the time and I was just so sickened we weren't dominating a terrible Raiders team with our playoff lives on the line. I think it was Andre Holmes who caught it. To me, it was the Bryce Brown fumble through the endzone that will always be buried in my mind as the play that altered the course of the Bills franchise.
  19. It is but my guess is China would just receive a slap on the wrist given how important they are to the world economy.
  20. The NFLPA agreed to a ceiling but not a floor? Did they receive anything in return?
  21. Minneapolis's stadium is a temperature controlled dome with about 60% of the roof composed of ETFE glass. They just have an awesome design and were able to build the stadium for 1.1 billion dollars. Just hire those people and tell them we want the same thing. A retractable roof isn't worth the money as teams that have it only have it opened about a third of the time. Plus, four of the five teams that have warmer climates (Dallas, Houston, Arizona, Atlanta). The Colts being the only exception. I surrendered season tickets years ago after being miserable after a 34 degree rain soaked game during the Bills/Giants game in late '07? If the Pegula's read this board, I will GLADLY purchase two PSL's if you build a new dome in Orchard Park next to the current stadium.
