I agree, but eventually you run out of excuses and I don’t doubt that McD knows that. I’ve always said that the key to winning in the playoffs is being present in the moment. You can’t get flustered by the ups and downs of the game. It’s not unlike when they say how the game ‘slows down’ for a QB after a season or two. The same is true for the coach.

Take the Tube It’s super easy. There are stations everywhere, and the trains come by every three minutes. Yep….THREE minutes. I’ve got no idea how they do it.

There are so many variables that go into these sort of comparisons that I prefer to look at it simply from the perspective of the McD reign alone. They’ve failed in the playoffs for the last few years after having really successful regular seasons and the last failures have come with some hard-to-repeat circumstances (injuries galore and thirteen seconds). If they fail again this year the resume is going to get really bruised. In fact, I believe failing to make the playoffs, might actually get him a mulligan as being chalked up to a ‘down year’. Whereas yet another playoff underperformance might be the last straw.

A heads up for those still looking for tickets. Pay special attention to the stadium seating plan. (You can find some interactive ones online.) What you'll see is that the Sections touch each other at each end. The aisle is in the middle of the row. This means if you plan it out, you might find two seats that are actually next to each other but that are listed as being in adjoining Sections....like I did. Make sense? (Crazy Brits!)

Can somebody tell how much Canada has spent/blown on this small incursion? Asking for a friend.

2027!!! Geez….Zach Ertz is going to be ancient and pretty much useless by then.

Here’s my professional assessment: They better step on it! 😉

Except that now the ‘some people’ are those in line with the ruling regime. This is very dangerous territory Hawk.

All that’s left now is for this utter buffoon to start calling himself ‘the science’.

So if I understand it correctly, Putin was so upset when Trump lost that he threw a fit and invaded Ukraine. Yep…that sounds right.

Probably was a MAGA fan that threw the rock. 😉

Correct. There’s a ton of work that has to happen before anything starts coming out of the ground. Deep utility lines go in first (sewer, storm drain, etc) and then foundations are formed/poured after that. If I recall, the field level in the new stadium is still below grade so there’s a lot of earth to be removed (thus the blasting into bedrock) and retaining walls to be poured. All of that happens long before any steel is erected.

Let me put this in football terms, since this Board is hosted by Bills fans: When my wife and I go to a Bills game (anywhere in the country, or world) there are literally thousands of Bills fans there. Almost every one of them is wearing a Bills hat...including me. Seeing as how my wife isn't from Buffalo, I generally find myself praying that there won't be a couple of knucklehead Bills fans acting like complete A-Holes thus soiling the reputation of everyone who wears the hat. But...even when there are I still wear the hat! (Keep in mind, this analogy does NOT apply to Raider fans. They're ALL ...what's the word...deplorable!) 😂

Everyone has Hawk….next topic. 🙄

Face it Hawk, you were convinced these folks were deplorable long long before January 6th.

Long live the new King! Goose, Goose, Goose! 😁

I guess the irony never occurs to you that you’ve been brainwashed into building up the MAGA movement into a neat sound bite of a boogeyman that justifies the exact sort of vitriolic response you claim to detest. And in doing so you’ve decided that half the country is…what’s the word I’m looking for….deplorable!

I just got the chance to watch the video and I have to say that’s about as close a representation of how the architectural design process goes as I’ve ever seen. Tons of meetings. Lots of conversations with the client. Changes to the details after getting input, but all the while the architects are moving things along behind the scenes, back at their office. I also enjoyed the part where they visited other stadiums. That’s very realistic. I cannot tell you how many times a client would walk into a facility and ask me…”Can we have one just like this?”. Of course once design work gets started they always want to make changes but the initial thought remains. Lastly, if you watch closely you’ll see many quick shots of the computer model (it’s black and white) spinning around on the computer screen. That’s the ‘model’ I’ve been referring to in so many of my posts. Views of that single model are then printed onto sheets (which you also see them flipping through), which ‘lay people’ still think of as blueprints. And, the color renderings we’ve all seen are nothing more than individual screen shots of that single model which the software puts a color filter and shadows on top of. We can take a screen shot of the model from literally anywhere inside or outside the building. Thousands of them, if we want to. Hope that helps.

EXTREMELY rare. We create more than three renderings for even the smallest of projects. As I’ve explained many times, these are not traditional renderings. They’re nothing more than single cells of a continuous animation path. I have no idea why they’re showing so little. Beats me!

God? MAGA powers? Now what? Must be late there.

Obviously. And that’s really a shame. 😉 You’ll find out, eventually, when you’re the last one eaten.

Recently relegated to court jester, BillStime unleashes a torrent of posts attempting to retake the throne…but alas to no substantive avail. Long live the new King!

You mean out there just like the 1023 Form? You mean hidden and redacted for YEARS? Is that the ‘out there’ you’re referring to? You've lost a step BillSy. There’s a new King of BS on here now. It was a good run while you had it. Time to pass the torch. 😉

So you don’t want to make America great again? You’d rather stick with the mess you just agreed exists now? Sure! That makes a TON of sense.

It is very fragile Hawk. When the permanent bureaucracy no longer reports to the elected officials, who in turn report to us, it’s game over!
