  1. That's funny, because I know of several folks who would describe you as precisely that.
  2. Are you worried that I might no longer consider you the worst troll in the history of this forum? You would appear to have a serious challenger.
  3. while also being a subtle heads up for our newer guests on TSW?-) Yes, that might be exactly the two things it was intended to accomplish!
  4. When one of the most thoughtful and well-reasoned posters in the long history of this forum has finally had enough, that is the kind of thing that really gets a moderator's attention. You might want to keep an eye out for a very interesting PM you'll be receiving in the near future.....
  5. I am going to make this as perfectly clear as I can. All this liberal/conservative political crap is neither allowed nor welcome on The Stadium Wall. People hate it and it makes for a gawdawful crapfest of a forum that nobody wants to read. If you feel compelled to bring your political baggage to TBD, you are to take it to the PPP section and nowhere else. [This is an automated response] The thread is no longer contributing positively to the community and therefore the discussion has been closed. Thank you.
  6. When I finally quit playing ball around 40, I tried a couple times to go back to Disc since I used to be a pretty good handler and short area defender when I was younger. But damn, when your legs are finally gone there is no amount of cheating that can keep you competitive ; - ) You just make sure you enjoy the hell out of every second of it, JR.......

  8. fwiw, Doug Whaley was vehemently against the Spiller pick at the time. It was one of the few instances where he and Nix could not even come close to a consensus and kind of got after each other about it.
  9. What can I say? I am a thoughtful and generous fellow, always thinking things through and taking the feelings of others under full consideration!
  10. That's just crazy talk! You were measuring the hook too, weren't you.......
  11. How was it supposed to go? She was supposed t say Hank Williams, or Public Enemy, or Steely Dan. Not Bon Jovi! And I had already decided after about 5 minutes that her and her mother's claims were BS and that we shared zero DNA.
  12. Thought I was an only child til I was about 20ish, then was told I had a half-sister. Agreed to meet her in a bar in a neighboring town and about halfway into the second beer I went over to a jukebox to put on some music to fill some not yet comfortable silences. Being a gentleman I asked on the way over if she had any preferences and she said she liked Bon Jovi (this was the late 80's). About 5 minutes later I pretended I was going to take a leak, walked out the back door and never looked back.
  13. When you Googled it, did the TBD thread about Andre Holmes 5/8" from here show up?
  14. You've been here a week and are already lecturing long-time members about TBD policy that's been in place for over a decade? That's some quality entertainment right there
  15. You're welcome to go make your own website and then steal from other people all you want. Until then, maybe you should reconsider the wisdom of making snarky comments about how other people choose to manage the website that they've taken the time and effort to create for our benefit.
  16. But are you good enough to make an app that does nails on a chalkboard? Or do you consider your posts to have that intrinsic quality......
  17. It's a published, accredited article on a commercial website It was created both privately and originally Therefore it has full copyright protection and has for over 25 years since the Berne Convention And it is not now, nor has it ever been allowed to be copy/pasted to this website
  18. Actually it's according to the Terms of Service where it's clearly laid out that "You agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you". Posting the entirety of somebody else's work is not allowed here. Like anywhere else that is above board you can follow Fair Use standards in US copyright law and post a brief excerpt of somebody else's material and provide a link to that material if you wish. But you are most certainly not allowed to post the full content of somebody else's work. There are a wide variety of Buffalo Bills sites on the internet; you are always free to use any of the others if you do not like the rules or don't want to live up to the standards of this one. If you wish to continue here, you are able to edit your post to reflect your understanding of Fair Use law and the TBD rules before a moderator sees it and simply deletes or closes the thread.
  19. Yeah, it's infinitely less complicated to run than a traditional horizontal WCO. If you're going to be saddled with a one-read QB who really struggles to see the whole field, this is probably the best way to maximize his strengths and minimize his weaknesses. It should provide us with an increased capability for diverse responses when defenses try to "make him be a QB" I would rather see the Bills let him walk at this point, but if they're going to keep putting him out there, this is as good as any way to do it.
  20. I had identical experiences with both salmon and eggs. (OK, that sentence made me think about cooking roe sous vide) I can make better eggs with less hassle than going sous vide so that likely won't be coming out for breakfast any more. My wife had the same reaction to the salmon, but I really liked my moist and tender white fish. Have you come up with any plan to make both of you happy that doesn't involve cooking fish two different ways?-)
  21. I did some fresh venison backstraps at 135 last weekend and they were perfect; it was like eating silk. I typically do beef at 131 and adding that 4 degrees to the venison was just about right for getting it in the same neighborhood. Elk and venison are very similar meats in many ways, one of them being how lean they are. Because of that I would be very cautious about putting any salt on them before cooking as I've read in a few places that it tends to leach some of the limited juices out of leaner meats.
  22. I think he needs to go all in and add a couple more names in an effort to bulk up. In for a penny, in for another 10 lbs.......
  23. I know that there used to be that option but I cannot find it right now either and am not sure it still exists. Ask on the Customer Service Board and I imagine you'll get your answer
  24. It was actually a sort of selfish post. If the mods won't run him then the more people who put him on ignore, then the less people are subjected to his typorrhea
  25. They get made to look like asses, the OP gets to relish in their discomfiture and the rest of us quietly congratulate ourselves for shutting the hell up until we knew our business
