  1. Teachers get paid well. Especially long time teachers. The article notes he was being represented by a legal team from a school(Duke Law School) that takes on cases for no charge for those who demonstrate financial need. For the practice of law students to get experience I would assume. Also notes he is suing for legal fees, so if Bears lose they could possibly be ordered by the court to pay the legal team fees that the legal team previously agreed to provide for free to the Packer fan. Not sure how that works but seems illegal, however, can only assume they know what they are doing as they have been doing this previously.
  2. Beating the Cheats or any other team is not mutually exclusive of your point bolded. If a Bills fan can not get up for the their most hated rival with the long history of(just to name a few)cheating, bad calls, lying, Walt Coleman bias, officiating bias in general etc etc...….. then Bills marketing department has a long long rough road ahead trying to make this work in WNY. Also, what better way for JA to develop than to show he can beat this most hated rival, in their house no less? Winning begets winning and JA could set a trend in his first game against the dreaded Cheats. Just like Kelly beat the Fish more than he lost to them. It is important for a young QB and other young players to get some wins and stay up. This is not like a bunch of vets playing out the string and many not to return. In that situation draft postion is more important than winning after out of playoffs. This is a young developing team and winning matters. Nothing better to building a winning culture than, you know, WINNING.
  3. I here you. That is the ultimate goal in regards to AFC competition. Playoffs go through NE until it doesn't any longer. As for this season the Jax game was my Super Bowl. Shutting up Ramsey/Marrone etc. etc...…. was best win of year "so far".
  4. Test He will be the first QB to be voted into the HOF before he retires. ?
  5. don't forget the AFC Championship game gift vs Jags last year that nullified a fumble return for a TD that would have pretty much iced the game for Jax. when the league is full of parity most teams are not good enough to overcome that stuff.
  6. it is an unavoidable byproduct of youth. History told me so.
  7. oh man. This has been dissected several times already. Bills nearly lead the league in number of 1st and 2nd year players playing when tallied up by snap counts. The overall roster age is not indicative of Bills amazing amount of young players. Starters like Lorax, Meatball, Haus-Money, Hughes, and also several other depth players weigh down the avg. age.
  8. Edmunds call was atrocious. No holding what-so-ever. One of the worst phantom calls I have ever seen. The holding on Miller was not holding either. Miller just was falling. The holding on Johnson also was no holding. If it was Sherman he would be called on every single play of his career. Tre White does a lot of that also. And Revis made a HOF career vacation island out of doing that. KB knee was clearly down and broadcast brought on Steratore? rules guy who said Jags missed a review opp to bring ball back the 10 yards or so KB dragged Ramsey and company downfield. Then the facemask would have been added to that new spot. What he of course completely did not even bring up was it was almost simultaneous that Ramsey knocked the ball lose in KB hand as his knee touched. It was so close to be I think possibly inconclusive. They should have let Colemans crew do that hyper warp drive KC LA Rams Monday nighter. That would have been high end comedy. Those players might still be fighting if they called that game like they called Bills game.
  9. I don't care for his antics and trash talking, however, I could be swayed if the following happens and McBeane feel he is the answer. After he comes in and talks to McBean and shows he can be a more team first player. Of course trade never happens unless he comes over with a reasonable extension after the 5th yr option. And does not cost more than a 3rd which is unlikely anyway unless Jax is dumping talent for peanuts like Beane did to Bills in his first year.
  10. lol... then they can run the JIT sweep with McKenzie
  11. I do not believe you can run faster with the ball in your hands as you have one less full arm swing. All things being equal. I have personally run down guys running with the ball who are faster then me running as fast as they can and I gain on them because I can swing hard with out holding a ball. A lot of times it happens when a defender has a better angle but not always. I don't refute your post. The X factors here are current real time game fatigue, conditioning, competitive urge, player trying to outrun a defender, adrenaline pumping, game excitement etc etc...… then you will run faster. But I bet those defenders having the same factors also run faster then normal. Very interesting.
  12. pronounced as a word is completely subjective and a different argument from how you started this saying: "Acronyms make a word (like NASA), initialisms just use the initials and don't make any word out of it. Just sayin'. " For sake of discourse, pronounced as a word does not make it a word. And choice of what acronym is pronounced as a word or not is again very subjective. EX: why is NASA a word and CIA is not?? You could pronounce it "see-ah" then it is a word? but if you say C I A as is normal by users then it is an initialism? And who says pronouncing it as "see-ah" makes it a word? And clearly NASA pronounced like a word NA-SA is not a word. Same with CIA and others. Maybe this friendly discussion of this loses context as we are printing instead of talking the words etc etc….. not to open up a new "can of worms" or "COW" for those keeping track at home.(which actually fits the definition of an acronym as it actually is a word if pronounced like a word) but dictionary says NASA is a noun and is an abbreviation. I guess if you would have just said "Acronyms are initialisms pronounced like a word and initialisms are a grouped set of first letters of an abbreviation where you call out each letter when pronouncing" we would have never started down this weird road. I apologize in advance for all this rhetoric. I, and others, should have caught what you meant from the start. We whiffed. But this is interesting. I learned a few things today. Thanks.
  13. I would sign Jim and then trade him even up for his brother John from Ravens.
  14. WTH *****. This injury report is an estimation?? Made up BS. WTH. Why are the Bills colors taking on an orange hue? It is like those nightmare late 80's early 90's cheap Bills gear that was in every store and gas station convenience store in Buffalo area with a clothes rack every time I visited. They had those cheap knockoffs from wherever and had those weird light colored royal and light colored red.
  15. yeah I think I got it. McD is so far ahead of the curve waiting for D to be allowed to be played in an artificially created offensive NFL, he could fall off the edge of flat earth if he is not careful.
  16. most Hotels have free shuttles to airports and back so not weird to expect a downtown shuttle for a NFL game trip.
