Thanks. You won’t get any push back from me on Russian aggression. What’s more troubling to me is the tepid response from the ‘free world’. Putting a Ukrainian flag on a Twitter page is nice but what does it really accomplish? Enjoy the coffee…and your day. 👍

As we finally have made it to Draft Day, I offer this analogy: the “Insurrection” reminds me of when the fans storm the field, or the court, and tear down the goal posts. There’s tons of security lining the field. There are even public address announcements telling the fans beforehand not to do it…but in the passion of the moment, they go for it! Caught up in the frenzy of the moment. The yellow jacketed security get overwhelmed and some even help people down onto the field so they don’t get hurt going over the wall. Then…when the fans finally do get on the field they stand around for a few minutes looking at each other saying “now what?” before peacefully leaving the stadium. Done! Is a committee formed? Is security protocol altered? Are people tossed in jail for months? Not generally.

FYI: Being a ‘teacher’ is not synonymous with being a sexuality coach.

Morning Tibs I’ve asked this before. Of everyone on here, you are far and away the most concerned about the invasion in Ukraine. I asked one time if you have family there. If so, I hope that they’re OK. If not so, I’m really curious as to what about this particular conflict had you so invested? It’s not the least bit controversial of a topic. NOBODY on here or pretty much anywhere is supporting the Russian side in this war. Are you simply frustrated with NATO’s response? I don’t get it.

Bingo! People act as if all the arrests and incarcerations are happening in the Deep South. I’m going to ‘guess’ they aren’t. Laws are enforced locally! Our major cities are all deep deep deep blue! If there’s indeed a “systemic” problem then maybe those Left led cities need a change in leadership.

No doubt that’s also true, but when it comes to America a whole lot of this is just keyboard propaganda looking to place the blame on Putin so they can take the bullseye off Biden. It’s not working.

Thanks....and possibly correct. I wish I knew enough about coaching O Line strategy to say whether that's true or not. I've been of the mindset that having Josh Allen and the WRs was enough of a threat to keep defenses honest against the run game. It keeps them from stacking the box. What I've seen instead is a very weak blocking scheme in which the RB almost never has a hole on the INSIDE. You think it's speed. I don't. The difference you'll get from a 4.39 guy when you're only traveling from the hand-off to the hole is probably a millionth of a second. That cannot possibly make that much of a difference. (My two cents) Go Bills

I'm hoping that the best thing that happened to the Bills running game this off-season will prove to have been bringing in new Line Coach. I really liked what I saw out of Singletary in the playoffs... in the passing game (which reminded me a lot of the old Thurman dump off days). I did not however see much if any improvement in the running game down the stretch. I'm therefore not convinced that if they improve in 2022 that it'll be because of Breece Hall. I'm thinking it'll be because the O Line scheming finally learned how to open some holes.

Correction…there are a few folks in here that STILL believe Russia influenced the outcome of the 2016 election.

Obviously you did….don’t make that mistake again. 😉

Wait…CNN is blaming inflation on Putin? Go figure. Who saw that coming?

I don’t honestly know how any of that software code stuff works but I find it downright amazing that Musk buys the sewer and magically the very next day the floodgates were opened on followers. I lose more and more respect for the Left every day. These people are so deeply invested in this woke religion they can’t see the damage they’re leaving in their wake.

Are you a parent?

And it’s your opinion that this is a good thing right now given what’s going on in the world?

In what way? Do you NOT think the Trump Administration had real concerns about how the election was handled? It’s your position that their concerns were totally fabricated out of thin air?

While I’m no fan of Twitter, just from what I’ve seen on this site, I’m actually fascinated and disgusted by this particular follower phenomenon. What these statistics show is that inside Twitter (and I’m assuming inside the other social media sites too) the people at the control desk, with the touch of a button, have the ability to literally turn down the ‘volume’ on the number of people who can see certain information/posts from other posters. That should frighten everyone! WTF is going on here and who are these people? This has NOTHING to do with misinformation. This is pure censorship.

It was actually on NFL Network. I realize sometimes they construct those just to make headlines but this particular one didn’t come off that way.

I think he’s lobbying for Trump to be on the Supreme Court. Who’d have ever thought we’d see that?

They’re stuck AFTER they build a stadium. We’ll just agree to disagree. Thanks for the well reasoned discussion.

First, you have to accept that the NFL is not like a normal business. You cannot open a franchise anywhere you want. In essence the Owner is stuck in the City he/she has a team…or at least for as long as the City will support it, and even then the other owners have to approve a get off jail free card. It’s a unique synergistic relationship between the City/Region and the Team/Owner. The most recent example was the Chargers leaving San Diego when the voters rejected a stadium bond. Second, as I’ve said on here too many times to count, we can all debate who should help pay for the stadium…but…one thing is certain. The more people that cost is spread over, the cheaper ticket prices will be (and they’ll never be ‘cheap’ in the normal sense of the word). So….you can certainly dislike public funding. I’m not going to take that stance away from you. It’s a really valid one. But, there are only two alternatives: either the team leaves or the ticket prices go through the non existent roof…which ultimately ends up in the project not penciling out and again…the team leaves. That’s pretty much it. There’s no third choice where the Owners say: “ya know I really like those nutty Bills fans, I think I’ll buy them a new stadium…they deserve it”.

Newsflash…those in favor of Trump were very concerned about the potential of corruption surrounding the 2020 election process.

Perfect, then you should understand. I own a large company but I don’t gift my personal family funds to buy the buildings we occupy as some sort of gift to ‘my’ hundreds of employees, or customers….do you? The buildings are a cost of doing business, just like copy machines and paper clips. They are paid for through rent, which ultimately comes from the price we charge for our services.

Correct....which is why Biden is now the president. And your point is what exactly?

We can go around in circles on this forever but you REALLY don’t understand how a business works.

Welcome to the present. We’ll wait while you scroll back through the first thousand posts.
