Sweats

I'm flip flopping back and forth on this (yeah, i'm not the guy you want as a debate partner). I see the logic both ways. #1 seed gives you one less playoff game to contend with and allows guys to get healthy, but going into the post season healthy gives the team a bit of an advantage, however, anything is possible, and guys might get hurt at any time, so........

Debates like you wouldn't believe.......some of the topics almost comes to blows, man especially concerning the Bills cause everybody's an armchair QB, HC, FO, etc.

No one is saying to rest players for the next 5 games.........i mean, if a guy is hurting and needs some extra time to heal up, then do we rush him back into the lineup to try to get the #1 seed or let him heal up proper.

Alright, you filthy animals, i need you to settle a raging debate we've got going on in my office right now....... If you could only have one, would you want the #1 seed or a fully healthy roster?.......you can only have one. Literally half the office is saying to make a solid push for the #1 seed no matter the outcome and the other half is saying that we're already in the playoffs, so getting our roster as healthy as possible for the postseason should be the number one priority. Your input and feedback are valuable in calming my office down presently. I mean, i like a good debate, however, this may get out of control shortly.

Just ask the salesman who the CEO is........i'll bet you'll get a good deal on a vehicle after that.

I'm working late today, so i'm having sandwiches, but i like sandwiches, so i'm doing alright.

Dude, you just gotta know how to play the game........there are so many loopholes and "grey" areas and once you figure them out, you will always have the upper hand. Having vehicles that aren't moving and sitting on the lots is actually costing the dealership money. They are in the business to move product, not store it, so once people recognize and understand how desperate dealerships are for business, the average Joe always wins. In fact, i've been banned from some dealerships over figuring out how to play the game.

Here's another trick at the dealerships....... Let's say for arguments sakes, you're buying a vehicle for $25,000 and you are paying cash, the dealership will always want this price to be $25,000 PLUS tax, so that price will be closer to $28,000-$30,000.........so when you get to the bank, get a certified cheque for only $25,000. When you hand the cheque over to the salesman, of course he'll say what the hell is this cause we agreed on a price of $25,000 PLUS tax and then just say you misunderstood and thought you agreed on the price being $25,000 which included tax, apologize for wasting his time and ask for the cheque back........he won't give the cheque back, he'll grumble and make the deal. $25,000 in his hand is worth something, a customer walking away is worth nothing. I use this one every time and every time it works, just as long as you understand how desperate the salespeople are to close a deal, you always have the upper hand. This trick is "Sweats guaranteed".

Here's another trick at the dealerships...... Take your vehicle financing over 12 years.......but make sure you get an "open financing", where you can pay as much as you want, as often as you want, as long as you pay the monthly minimum. Banks will shoot their load when someone wants to finance over 12 years cause they figure you'll be paying the vehicle off for 12 years and the vehicle by then will be worthless. The banks look at the longer you owe them money, the more money they will make off of you. If your financing is over 12 years, your monthly payment will be like around $125/month.......but with an "open finance" which allows you to pay what you want as often as you want, if you are having some good months at work, then throw everything at the financing, but the minimum of $125/month still allows you to manage if you have some really bad months with work. Banks hate it, but it's legal. I've actually had banks throw it in a clause where we had to pay a minimum of at least 1 year before we totally paid the vehicles off.......they are getting wise to it.

What happened was that i went on the lot, saw a truck i wanted, let the salesman know that i was going to buy it, told him to draw up the paperwork for the registration and let him know that i was going to the bank to get a cheque for the full amount and that i would be back in about 20 minutes. When i got back, he sits me down to go over all the paperwork and says that he set up financing over the next 8 years, blah, blah, blah.......i gave him the cheque for the whole amount, but he thought i was just getting a cheque for a couple thousand dollar down payment and then he proceeds to convince me that i should really be doing financing........and then tries to tell me that there is another guy on the lot who wants to buy the truck and he WILL do financing, but seeing as i had a handshake deal with him first, it was my truck. Oh, those car salesmen are shady and greasy, but i've been around the ole block once or twice myself.

What's going on with the Hawk Tua coin?..........i heard there's like some insider trading going on and people got screwed.

You want to screw dealerships?!?........pay cash. Dealerships make all of their kickback money on financing from financial institutions, so cash is useless to them and in fact, they end up losing money from all of the incentives for financing. When i bought my ole mighty Dodge about 10 years ago, the dealership was drooling at all of the potential money they were going to make........when i flopped a certified cheque on their desk, they were not happy and tried to back out of the deal and sell the truck to someone else, but ole Sweats held them to the deal. Bwahahahahahahahaha Back in the day, cash was king......today, it's worthless when buying a vehicle, but it's only worthless to the dealerships, so if you want to screw them, pay cash and watch them cry.

I'm okay with it........let's get everyone healthy for the post season and make a run.

.................is there no "r" on your keyboard?!?

She scares me.......and i think i like that. I have problems.

.........namaste

What i've seen is that Cook runs extremely well on the outside and yet, we continue to try to run him up the gut and that's where Davis earns his bread and butter on those plays. .......just saying

For any question about this team, this FO, this life.........this is the correct answer.

It's a tradition in our house to gather around and watch Santa Claus Conquers the Martians every Christmas.......well, for me and my son anyways, my wife poo poos it.

This is without a doubt, one of the most intelligent things i've read on the boards all week. Bravo, my man........bravo.

I'm not saying we will lose, i'm saying that this game may be a lot tighter than people would believe.......i'm hearing how the Bills will steamroll the Rams, however, i think it may be a little closer than most would like to think.

Feliz Navidad - Boney M

I don't have a good feeling about this one...... I think the Rams are going to run up the gut nonstop and dink and dunk us down the field with simple passing plays. I suspect a close game on this one and may even come down to a game winning FG or whoever has the ball last. I feel a lot better with our chances with the Lions, as i think the Bills will step up and match them right across the board, however, the Rams although not scary or threatening, will come out swinging and i don't know how the Bills will react riding so high right now........i'd like to believe that we punch them right in the mouth, early and often, but i'm not so sure.

I was on the bandwagon to get rid of him and start over at HC, but i'm kind of letting up on my opinion as of late. I want to see how our post season goes before i start calling for his head again.

My old Ford F150 had 650,000 kms on it, it was close to 15 years old and i didn't spend one dime on it........once the tranny blew, i called the junk dealer in town and gave her a proper send off. My Dodge has 275,000 kms on it, it's 10 years old and i haven't stopped sinking money into it.........first and last Dodge that i will ever buy. They just don't make car/trucks the way they use to. I was going to comment on your tranny response, however, due to me trying to stay on my best behavior these days, i'm staying far, far away from it...........(insert joke here)
