Thanks for sharing. I listened to that audio sound bite. So Trump is demonstrating just how off the rails this government is, and the fact that they were using the veil of ‘classification’ to frame him for opinions he did not hold and actions he did not take. There are no secrets being exposed there that impact today’s strategic issues, other than the corruption that was trying to overthrow a sitting President.

If they’d just change their name to “Moms for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” they’d get the keys to the city. Really bad marketing on their part! 😉

Prioritizing? Nope. The American flag is the one that stands against treason. I haven’t suggested a problem with that one. 😉

I think we’ve all come around to the same conclusion and I also don’t think the recent contract extension will save him if the playoff swoons persist. On the contrary, I actually think the extension was a purposeful psychological bolstering just in the case McD was starting to second guess himself. Now, is the clock ticking? Obviously yes. But there are a few circumstances that could put that clock on snooze. For example, if Josh gets injured. Or another pesky league wide labor dispute. Or a horrific referee’s call at a critical moment in a playoff game. Beyond those….tick, tick, tick. However again that’s neither analytics or unusual. It’s common sense.

The original Pride Flag wasn’t political. The new one clearly is.

Pardon me for over generalization Hawk. I meant to say nobody on the other side, or in the middle for that matter, is buying this anymore. I don’t doubt that YOU want to push this phony agenda on the rest of society. Everyone else sees it for what it is. Is that better?

Hey! What did ya want for $20 million? 😉

We love the glass enclosed Sky Garden observation deck at the top of one of London’s skyscrapers. It’s free (or at least it used to be) but you’ll need to make a reservation for a specific day and time online. It’s the best view looking over all of London and there’s a bar up there to get a drink. They don’t care how long you stay and the garden itself is amazing! We’ve never actually gone inside the Tower of London, but if you’re a first time tourist you pretty much have to take an iconic picture outside with the Tower Bridge in the background. Lastly, I highly recommend Roast for a true London proper lunch. Roast beast and Yorkshire pudding. It’s in Burroughs Market at the base of the Shard with a view across the river to the dome of the cathedral.

What does ANY of this have to with whether they should’ve kept Edmunds at MLB? 😂😂😂

Not really. The statistic is about making it to your FIRST Super Bowl. That takes quite a few coaches out if the running. For example Bill B made it many many times after his first one.

Ha! Neither of you however is the new King of the Board. 😂

I’m pretty sure you and I would/will agree on the right time to pull the trigger. I’m just saying that if I was his boss I wouldn’t do it because of ANYTHING any other coach’s had historically done or will do. I think it’ll be obvious when he’s reached his ceiling. Is it next year? I don’t know. But the chances obviously get higher with each playoff failure. Is that statistics? Maybe. I just call it common sense.

Yeah, yeah, yeah…..So what’s the point of all this then? Is it your position that the Bills should fire McD right now because chances of them winning a Super Bowl are slim to none? Seems like a simple concept really, and I’m not saying you’re wrong in this particular case. But using history to justify it seems a bit off….to me.

Fake news! They have the wrong flag. 😁

I think that’s where you’re going wrong. The set of coaches is not that large. And even it was, forty of anything is minuscule in terms of statistical sampling. Add to that there are absolutes at either end of the spectrum. For example you’re almost surely not going to the Super Bowl in Year One and definitely not in Year Fifty.

I thought getting tickets for London was going to be way easier after I registered something like FOUR MONTHS ago. 😉

That’s what we call coincidence not causation or prediction.

So it would have been okay with you if they draped a MAGA flag on the balcony while Trump was in office? Cut the crap Section! Nobody, literally nobody is buying this anymore.

Nobody’s ignoring anything Section. What’s been hung at the Capitol is the flag of a political party. Shameful! I’d imagine you’d say something similar if a MAGA flag was hung there….just admit it!

So then it’s as ridiculous, as I said. The rainbow symbol by its very definition is meant to represent EVERYONE. Are there people who aren’t included in the term ‘everyone’? What an overtly political gesture! If your summary is true, that flag should NEVER hang at the Capitol.

Huh? There are only six sides on a dice. There are way more than six variables in this equation. While I absolutely loved Money Ball as a movie, the Oakland Athletics did not win the World Series that year. Sheeeesh!

His mom’s basement is in Canada! We used to go there to get gas during the oil embargo. 😂

What’s with the ridiculous extra little triangle of colors they’ve added to the flag? I thought the rainbow concept symbolized that EVERYONE was included….no?

I’ll try: Yes, you need a passport…obviously. Cellphone: your phone will work there but I recommend alerting both your carrier and your bank before you go so they don’t suspect illegal activity. Power Outlet….bring a converter. It’s way cheaper to get one at a drugstore or Amazon in the US. Transportation: We always get online tickets ahead of time on the Heathrow Express ($20 round trip) to get us into town nonstop from the airport. Once in town we take the Tube everywhere using an Oyster Card you get and load at the station when you get off the Express. Simple and very affordable! Tourist: If you’ve never been to London you can see virtually all of the major sites in a days walk along the Thames. (Westminster, Buckingham Palace, St Paul’s cathedral, Covent Garden, and the Tower of London) Walk across the Millennium bridge and back to see Shakespeare’s Globe Theater and Burroughs Market. Currency: You can get some pounds at the airport in the US or in London but just about everywhere and everything can be purchased with a Visa or Mastercard. The exchange rate is better with a credit card. They don’t use much cash anymore in Europe. Most Soccer (football) matches all play at 3:00pm on Saturday afternoon, the day before the Bills game, but tickets won’t go on sale online until about six weeks before the date. If you don’t want to spend a fortune, I highly recommend taking in a match at the Championship League level. There are a few London based teams and we’ve never had any problem with the in-stadium atmosphere. You can get tickets online and even have them delivered to your hotel so they’re there when you get into town. Lastly, not sure if they still do it, but last time the NFL closed Regent Street (Piccadilly Circus) to hold an outdoor NFL experience, just like at the Super Bowl. It was free to walk around and the place was crawling with Bills fans. Hope that helps!

It’s not really 40 years of data. It’s more like just forty rolls of a dice. That’s a very small sample size of anything.
