Very dangerous to the public and reckless, even on an empty roadway in the middle of the night. At that speed, he could have come across an unseen driver, road work, or obstacle very quickly and spun out of control. You can't stop or slow down quickly at that speed. I have also seen cars flip over the wall or guardrail on an interstate and smash into a house, killing people sleeping. Just as bad as drunk driving or waving a loaded gun around.

I would have nominated you for best jokes here on that other thread!

Why wasn't he hauled to jail? In many states this a misdemeanor for criminal speed, and you have to make bail. Mandatory license suspension too.

Yeah, but the thing is college softball is done for the season, but youth travel softball (and baseball) teams are big business year-round (except during the school season), especially in the summer. Parents travel all over the country with their kids, often staying at Hampton Inns or Marriott Residence Inns and the like. I used to stay at these hotels, and every weekend in the summer like clockwork you saw all these coaches, parents, softball players, and siblings at the hotel breakfast buffet before weekend games. It's a family affair, and expensive. All in the hopes of chasing that college scholarship. Plus, if a college-aged daughter were to be playing summer ball, usually it's locally, and there is no way McD would fly to Atlanta to see that. Parents might fly to their daughter's college games occasionally, but not for recreational games in the summer--after all, they've already secured their college spots and are adults now. (The only college-aged summer softball teams that really travel (sometimes) are the Stratford Brakettes and a few others. And that is usually by car with their teammates, and within a day's drive.)

Do it! I agree they would be better in the teacher's lounge. Younger people would catch on too fast. They are called prank stickers. You can find them here: bit.ly/44OLNL3 or somewhat similar ones on Amazon, like: https://www.amazon.com/Activated-Stickers-Vigorously-Hilarious-Practical/dp/B01NAUCQIR This is the actual pic of the one I saw at the gym. Fooled me like a charm. I even went to GeorgiaPacific's website to see what I was doing wrong, lol.

My local newspaper in the 80's sometime showed a picture of Bruce Smith carrying a window air conditioner to his dorm room at SUNY College at Fredonia to move in for training camp. I read in some newspaper that Thurman Thomas had "Tampa" written on his cleats in TC before the 1990 season (Tampa was the site of that season's SB). Joe Ferguson, as well as Dan Manucci and David Humm (Bills backup QB's) signed my autograph pad in TC sometime in the 80's.

There needs to be a puzzled reaction choice for the smiley faces

Ok...since we're talking stickers, a gym I was visiting this week had a: "Voice Activated Say 'Paper Towel Now' Loudly" sticker on the paper towel dispensers in the restrooms. Needless to say, I fell for this multiple times.

In case anyone is interested, I added the Yelp page for this new location Saturday: https://www.yelp.com/biz/bar-bill-tavern-inc-rochester

These responses are irrelevant. You are not the judge or the jury and don't enforce who has whatever rights. Everything with OJ was handled through the legal process, according to the Constitution and relevant statutes. He did not voluntarily up any rights. As with bin Ladin, this was an authorized military operation, and he had a chance to surrender. If he had, he would've been legally tried, just like Saddam was. I am also now going to bow out of this thread, as I can also see there is no point to arguing any further. People's minds are made up, and that is fine. Plus, this thread is not really about football and is becoming too political.

I don't judge. That's not my job. I don't judge Hitler or Bin Ladin or anyone else. All have basic human rights.

Lot of assumptions by you. I don't judge others.

Reminds of a recent tweet by a member, supposedly a Bills fan, who used to post here, but seemed to love the Dolphins more: [I've deleted his name so as not to give him publicity] "F***** B**** @F************ · Jun 8 Dolphins are already serious AFC superbowl contenders and favorites to win the AFC East IMO. They add Dalvin Cook and it makes an already loaded roster possibly the best in the NFL."

Even people who are worthy of contempt have human rights. We are not a lynch mob, but a civilized society. We don't make fun of medical issues or wish harm on others.

I know OJ is a controversial, perhaps hated figure, but I don't think people should be making light of his medical problems or even wishing harm on him.

The good ole days! Though I wasn't alive in the 60's, but I remember a first-class stamp or a local call on a payphone cost $0.15 in the early 80's. A loaf of bread or a gallon gas was $0.29. You could buy 45's for under a dollar. Motor oil still came in metal cans--just quarts though--no gallon sizes like today. The Bills were blacked out a lot in the 80's. So, I listed to Van Miller's call on the radio. And the Sabres games. I sold the daily newspaper for $0.25. I delivered six days a week, so I had to charge $1.50 a week. Customers often gave me $2 dollars and said keep the change (well, except for that old lady in her 80's who gave me a nickel tip...lol). Until the late '80s that is, when the newspaper company raised the price to $0.30 daily, so $1.80 a week. Then my tips decreased a lot. Customers still gave me two dollars and said keep the change. And one day I only had a quarter in my pocket walking home from school. But I still was able to treat me and my friend at a convenience store. Two unflavored slurpies for $0.10 each, and two pretzel sticks for a nickel.

Should be free at a local library. My gym still gets a print edition for members to read.

Yeah, I just found that out when I clicked on this page for the first time reading this thread. Yikes...I'm staying out of this thread!

Now I posted the news about Cam Robinson last Thursday in a different thread, worried that he would back just in time for the Jagaurs at Bills in London game: Gunner Bill, whom I trust with player opinions, said he is just average in response to my post: So, I am not too keen on Cam Robinson. No need to give up assets for him.

Damn...this is an excellent find. Great post! Those combs shown at 4:30 in the video: they were so popular in the 80's in middle and high school when I was growing up. Everybody had one in their back pockets. Heck, even the Fonz used one on Happy Days. Great memories.

Good question. Maybe for this year, but once Oklahoma and Texas leave, I am not so sure.

On a related note, Greg Rousseau, AJ Epenesa, Daquon Jones, and Tim Settle attended the annual Von Miller Pass Rush Summit: https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/in-his-element-at-seventh-pass-rush-summit-bills-von-miller-still-enjoys-giving-advice/article_55dadbba-087d-11ee-acbc-7b3a0bcd1482.html#tracking-source=home-top-story

The thing is when you go to another team's message board and are consistently bashing that team. people are naturally going to question your intentions. The same would be true if someone from here went to the Chief's board, which is not known to be very welcoming (with a number of crude, uneducated stuff being posted there by Chiefs' fans I might add). If a fan from another team posts here though and is more respectful, that will go better, for the most part. There are other team's fans here who do that with success. And at least our forum does not ban outsiders like Jungle Noise does.
