That’s a cute response. So is there such contradicting video footage? If there is, wouldn’t Nancy’s Select Committee have shown it? I assume the prosecution put on their best case…no?

Or maybe instead of going fishing for players to replace the NFL caliber players we already have, maybe, just maybe, we could coach up our current players to perform better on a consistent basis. (Just a thought.) I am not convinced that Gabe Davis has to be thrown in the dumpster. We have all seen him perform from time to time. His problem is not athleticism …it’s consistency!

Here’s my simple take: The Bills have an oddly constructed roster for such a highly respected team. On offense they rely almost solely on Allen both passing and running, and have gotten merely average production from any of their skill position draft picks (Singletary, Knox, Davis). On defense, it’s similar but there they rely on a soft scheme that dares the opponent to go the length of the field without making a mistake (which doesn’t work against better skilled playoff QBs), but again with the possible exception of Milano and Tre here they’ve gotten merely slightly above average production from many their skill position draft picks (Edmunds, Oliver, Epenesa).

Asking for friend…..Since when do we put OT in front of every thread? Isn’t there a part of this forum that’s dedicated to discussions that Off Topic?

Here’s what I don’t understand. I can see not liking the way TC presented the videos, but were they selectively edited? For example, are there other parts of the tapes in which the Shamon dude was acting violently while inside the Capitol? Did he attack police officers? Did he vandalize the building? And…are there other parts of the video that show Officer Sicknick stumbling around or in other sorts of physical duress? If we had a functioning Justice system (instead of a politically motivated police state) none of this would be an issue.

Time to move on from Ed, unfortunately. He’s severely underperformed from his draft status.

Sending happy thoughts his way. 😁

Thanks. I see these over arching labels thrown around a bit too much these days. I much prefer addressing things issue by issue. For example, on most, if not all, fiscal policies I’m extremely conservative (just as I am with my personal finances) whereas on most ‘social’ issues I’m very liberal…with the caveat that this is only in reference to adults; not children.

I’m not so sure I agree. It’s all in just how you measure it I guess. Sure, we haven’t seen a third World War, but instead we have these proxy wars being fought in second and third world countries all over the planet. Seems to me that the people in charge have just decided it’s better to hash things out in countries that no one has ever heard of or had plans to visit on summer vacation. 😉

That’s a good thing if true, but we’re far, far from there yet.

I agreed with your take, but you left out the player development/coaching staff AFTER these guys are drafted.

World order? There’s an order? Since when exactly? There’s been a nonstop armed conflict going on somewhere in the world throughout my considerable lifetime. I’d love to see what disorder looks like. 😉

I’m not going to disagree with here, but didn’t the world know all of that BEFORE he amassed troops and tanks at the Ukrainian border? (rhetorical question)

Just kidding, as usual, Hawk. (This place needs a serious dose of levity.) But I do marvel at how the current administration brushed away this entire conflict just a year ago…and we somehow went from overlooking a ‘small incursion’ to ‘as long as it takes’ (their words not mine) in that same span. There simply has to be a better way to run a civilized world. To quote George Costanza: “We’re trying to have a society here!”

Okay…here we go…”real progressives”? This I’m dying to read. And I love how you immediately dismiss the violent attack on the seat of Executive Branch that occurred just a few months before J6. Where was the Select Committee’s report on that attack?

Thanks Tibs. Missiles are fired in all modern conflicts…as you obviously know. Is it the pictures of shelled apartment buildings that makes the distinction for you? (Again, I’m not disagreeing. Just trying to see if you’ll clarify your position.)

Here it is a nutshell, and in this order: 1. Without Allen, the Bills are not a playoff team. 2. Without Brady leaving NE, the Bills are not winning the Division. 3. Without McD and McB, the Bills are a perennial sub-500 record.

Answer: It isn’t inappropriate. But the proper question is why weren’t ALL of the media given this footage when Good ‘ol Nancy had the gavel? Hmmm? When you’re the people ‘in charge’, the appropriate response to TC is to simply dismiss his opinion.

Not even close Hawk. It is NEVER appropriate for a member of congress to take the floor of the House or Senate and ‘appeal’ that a news organization should fire or silence a reporter. Never! If Chuck or Mitch want to say they disagree with or verbally dismiss the narrative…fine. But that’s not what Chuck did. Unbelievable that you don’t see how dangerous this is.

Honest Question: What is it that makes him a “terrorist” in your eyes? I’m not saying I disagree with you Tibs, but we need to share a common language if we’re all going to have a conversation.

I’ve tried to stay out of this discussion because I knew where it would go….as usual. But looking at it from the proverbial 35,000 feet, doesn’t anyone find it odd it that sitting members of Congress would feel this threatened by a single cable television program expressing an opinion, telling a narrative, and showing actual, unaltered video footage of an actual news event? When did America “evolve” into a country where the government controlled the way the press/media/people are allowed to see and discuss a news story? EVERYONE should be REALLY frightened by this unfortunate turn of events. It does not bode well for the future of a formerly free country.

Edmunds? Nope…doesn’t ring a bell. Let me google him.

Is the small incursion over yet? I think I dosed off.

Not a chance. I’m not going to blame you. I’m not a liberal nutcase looking to blame others for my lot in life. But yes please keep pushing those false Trump narratives. We need you on that wall. It’s just a shame your wall is the one surrounding your mental institution. 😉

Keep it up! You prove you’re wrong with each new post.
