https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/09/07/tom-brady-nfls-new-jersey-number-rule-is-crazy-big-advantage-to-the-defense/ Brady recently expanded on his thoughts: “The number rule is crazy,” Brady said. “Literally, guys changed their numbers today. I’m playing two guys who had different numbers in the preseason. So, yeah you’ve got to watch film and know who you’re studying but so do running backs. They’ve got to know who to block. So does the offensive line. So does the receivers who are adjusting their routes based on blitzes. “So one guys has got a 6, one guy has 11, one guy has got a 9. And they change every play when you break your routes and get to your spot. It’s going to be a very challenging thing. It’s a good advantage for the defense, which that’s what it is. “It would be like saying, ‘What if I let the offensive linemen wear 82 and No. 9?’ They wouldn’t know who was eligible. Well that’s not fair. You’ll get your tail kicked. At least identify who the D-line, the linebackers and the safeties are. You’re going to have a lot of matchups where guys are blocking the wrong guys. I don’t know why that should be.” Brady thinks the NFL would have benefited from talking to veteran quarterbacks before changing the rule..."

what do you do if you have a flip phone? snarky replies are welcome as well as real ones.

A 'Tomlin-ism' alert! "spin the dial through the division of labor". add it to the quote board!

The players co-opting the song during the game might be my favorite Bills game memory.

It is on CBS locally as well

there is plenty of room for those that think the policy is bad and daily testing for all players needs to happen WHILE also being disappointed in anyone that is not vaccinated.

great Success! 10 minute call. Free ST Max/Red Zone. been a consistent customer for 7 years so wasn't sure but have about a 66% success rate over the years. Spoke with a woman who said I need to speak with Billing as they are handling ST. I said, No, I need Loyalty/retention! She said, "I am loyalty and retention dum dum". I sheepishly apologized and was transferred. The next Rep looked at account and said we can add ST Max for free. Thanks again to all the trailblazers that came before.

I mean, ... umm.. ............. what?

as a former 2X "elmer's glue" award winner of a local Niagara County High school varsity sports team, I can confirm. man I miss Chris Kelsay.

Why? Odds are odds.

so many lost causes chiming in here. don't bother engaging with them. losers just like Donald J

This is called what-about-ism. You sir are engaging in it. Hostile and friendly nations have spies in our country trying to reach members of both parties at all times. Anyone shown to have acted against the interests of this country should be punished/jailed. Anyone who unknowingly gets wrapped up as Swalwell did (when he was not an intelligence committee member, btw) should be voted out by their constituents, at a minimum. I would be okay with losing Committee assignments as well. But I still think anyone who has a whiff of corruption should be gone/voted out. So I'm sure we agree there on some level. https://www.axios.com/china-spy-california-politicians-9d2dfb99-f839-4e00-8bd8-59dec0daf589.html honeypots have plenty of targets. about 3,776,294,273 of them.

Don't forget, it is already a bipartisan committee. Liz Cheney is on it. Seems like every outlet, regardless of leaning is getting this wrong. (and spare me any rebuttal that involves 'RINO' in the sentence).

A FOREIGN AGENT, NOT A LOBBYIST "Contrary to what you might have read, this is not a FARA case, which is generally treated as a regulation covering certain kinds of lobbying for foreign (including non-governmental, like the political party Paul Manafort hid his work for) entities. Barrack was charged under 18 USC 951, which is about working for a foreign government directly. The statute is sometimes referred to as Espionage Lite, and in this case, the government might believe at least some of the people involved — perhaps Al Malik, who fled the country days after the FBI interviewed him in April 2018 — are spies. By charging 951, though, the government only has to show that the team was ultimately working on orders from government officials without registering, not that someone was secretly reporting to another country’s spying agencies. And this is pretty clearly about a relationship directly with UAE. In addition to Barrack and his employee Matthew Grimes, the indictment describes a chain of command in which several senior Emirati officials convey requests through Rashid Sultan Rashid Al Malik Alshahhi (referred to as Alshahhi in the indictment and as Al Malik here and elsewhere) to Barrack. On the Emirati side, Emirati Official 1 (EO1), is described as someone who, “held a high-ranking position in its armed forces,” but who, given events described in the indictment, must be Dubai’s Crown Prince Mohamed bin Zayed. Emirati Official 2 (EO2) is described as a “high-ranking official with responsibilities related to national security,” but appears to be National Security Advisor Tahnoun Bin Zayed. Emirati Official 3 (EO3) is described as a member of UAE’s National Security Council. Their orders often get delivered to Al Malik through Emirati Official 4 (EO4), who is described as a government official who reports to EO 2 and EO3. There’s also a diplomat, Emirati Official 5, who asked Barrack to provide insight into the top national security appointments Trump was planning. Basically, this amounts to MbZ tasking EO4 to instruct Al Malik to provide instructions in turn to Barrack. This structure is important, because it demonstrates that Barrack was being directed directly by the UAE government and, starting in October 2016, directly by MbZ himself." https://www.emptywheel.net/2021/07/21/the-big-boss-directing-tom-barracks-actions/

haha dont want to hijack this too much but yes---started it recently and at end of season 2. im always a decade or two behind (just watched pretty much every star trek show for the first time lol).

okay he's not in the government lol.. it changes little to my point. Don't use "tactics" to ignore the issue. Please. and yes, im sure we can agree there on lobbying, no doubt. the point is he was close to Trump. and if you read even a summary review of the actual felonies and charges, you could easily understand the dangers to democracy that Trump brought upon himself and this country. now add in this was a pattern... quote from Roger Stone on Barrack/Trump (2018): "He is the only person I know who the president speaks to as a peer. Barrack is to Trump as Bebe Rebozo was to Nixon, which is the best friend." If you are cool with "espionage-lite" going on all around our commander in chief (and frankly, it being welcomed/encouraged by the former president), so be it. but you sir, are not an American I want to know if that is the case.

a former president's very close friend who also was the inaugaration chair TURNS OUT TO BE AN UNREGISTERED agent of a foreign country. AND GUESS WHAT, that country tried interfering in our 2016 election. no wayyyyyyyyy. wonder what that is all about (hint, $$$). lol... sometimes its not that hard. and what if I told you this was only one of a handful of countries that did something similar to get their hooks in... crazy right? nah. can't be true.
