Damn. That was the one. I was yelling at the TV about what a dick he was, too. That sucks.

Especially cornerbacks.

Yes, that is their use. Especially on next year's Bills when we have six picks in first three rounds. All six are very likely to make the team. But I would doubt if more than 6-7 total do. That's a lot of rookies. So our 4-5-6-7 guys, which normally 2-3 make the team, now maybe one does. Not sure that was a necessary dig.

Lol. Good one.

Not sure I believe Beane on that one. There were other reports saying just the opposite. If what Beane says is true, to me it's worse. They weren't having problems with him that made him a problem, or bad for locker room, etc.

So is retiring. The point is only that the Bills have the right to just walk away from him with no penalty or reason or warning, so he should seemingly be able to just walk away from the team as such.

Obviously, just your general nimroddery.

That actually made me laugh.

That's a big part of this. Crappy division, great defense, good run game, Jax could well be fighting us for wild card late if we keep this up.

I've done it before!

True. Huge range. And also some very well made ones. There are so many though and so many cheapies that I guess the percentages are low. You're right though. I was mostly thinking about the quick rise of them and why so many were made.

The absolute worst part of this entire trade, short, mid and long term, is having to endure reading or hearing random nimrods saying, in all seriousness, "Tom Brady was a 6th round pick."

Next person that says Tom Brady was a sixth round pick I'm going to punch in the neck. There have been 500-600 6th round picks since then and 95% of them sucked. You want to bet on those odds?

Can't believe they promoted that idea.

A sixth is basically worthless. That's a terrible idea. If Jacksonville beats us out for a wildcard.

https://alcohol.stanford.edu/alcohol-drug-info/i-bet-you-didnt-know/metabolism Genetic differences in these enzymes may help to explain why some ethnic groups have higher or lower rates of alcohol-related problems. For example, one version of the ADH enzyme, called ADH1B*2, is common in people of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean descent but rare in people of European and African descent (12). Another version of the ADH enzyme, called ADH1B*3, occurs in 15 to 25 percent of African Americans (13). These enzymes protect against alcoholism (14) by metabolizing alcohol to acetaldehyde very efficiently, leading to elevated acetaldehyde levels that make drinking unpleasant (15). On the other hand, a recent study by Spence and colleagues (16) found that two variations of the ALDH enzyme, ALDH1A1*2 and ALDH1A1*3, may be associated with alcoholism in African-American people. Although these genetic factors influence drinking patterns, environmental factors also are important in the development of alcoholism and other alcohol-related health consequences. For example, Higuchi and colleagues (17) found that as alcohol consumption in Japan increased between 1979 and 1992, the percentage of Japanese alcoholics who carried the protective ADH1B*2 gene version increased from 2.5 to 13 percent. Additionally, despite the fact that more Native American people die of alcohol-related causes than do any other ethnic group in the United States, research shows that there is no difference in the rates of alcohol metabolism and enzyme patterns between Native Americans and Whites (18). This suggests that rates of alcoholism and alcohol-related problems are influenced by other environmental and/or genetic factors.

I gave up on your point when the first and third links didn't describe or mention Native Americans and the one that did, the second link, looked at 95 people.

Ha. Good point. Some QB last year did that and I thought the same thing. Someone here will probably remember. It could have been two years ago.

Everything. Mostly union related. No union actors so the pay is way, way less. No regular screenwriters or union screenwriters so the pay is way way less. The producers pay is way less except if they have had a couple hits and in demand. No union crew members or production people on a lot of them. No time cost like setups for lighting as much as a normal show. It's all thinking up ideas, staging them, shooting them quickly, and then editing.

I do. You apparently don't. You said the metabolism is the culprit, they cannot metabolize as fast as whites or others. So I linked something from a scientific study that says that is not true. The next sentence after the one you noted says, "American Indians don’t metabolize or react to alcohol differently than whites do, and they don’t have higher prevalence of any known risk genes."

This says that is just not true. https://www.theverge.com/2015/10/2/9428659/firewater-racist-myth-alcoholism-native-americans

I meant it in the same vein as less intolerance for liquor. That's what all three links say.

Apparently, according to a bunch of pesky science, Indians are not more likely... https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2016/02/12/your-assumptions-about-native-americans-and-alcohol-are-wrong/?utm_term=.f8726c14315f https://www.theverge.com/2015/10/2/9428659/firewater-racist-myth-alcoholism-native-americans

I will bet you a dozen shots of whiskey that "the two mutated genes" that protect against heavy drinking you just referred to, are the same scientific concept that offspring of alcoholics have in their DNA, which makes them more susceptible to heavy drinking. I learn that in rehab, btw.
