  1. Who are you and what have you done with our friend?
  2. fwiw, Whaley pushed really hard for them to hire McDermott at the time. It was essentially the first time he had the opportunity to provide any legitimate input in that area. Russ was also the primary driver in the Marrone hire in addition to the Ryan hire.
  3. This has already been clearly answered in direct responses to you. Twice.
  4. Note to self: If Bill pisses you off, drop a mama joke on him.
  5. Maybe it's a cultural thing with mama jokes then, cuz I've heard that and plenty more.
  6. Comparing fútbol to football is probably a false equivalency. I played with multiple guys who missed games and even entire seasons because they got tossed back in prison. The sport not only attracts, but also encourages a certain kind of vicious aggression you don't really find in other sports. Nobody has ever called American football the beautiful game.
  7. We've become an instant gratification culture with a top heavy economy, a disdain for truth and knowledge, a hatred of anything different and an outsized sense of self-righteousness that makes us feel like everything should be handed to us yesterday and everybody else should think what we think and do what we want them to do immediately or there's something wrong. It's poisoned our social fabric, our politics, our religion, our professional competence and ourselves. And when I say "our", I'm not just talking about the US; this is a global problem. It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better, imo.
  8. The entire country has turned into a bunch of ignorant, entitled spoiled rotten little brats.
  9. Good news; you've only got 4 so far, but your 5th post in this thread comes with a free vacation!
  10. He can't play safety in this league. He's got a better chance of tending goal for the Sabres.
  11. For a multitude of reasons, the worst Bills player of all time was Drew Bledsoe.
  12. I pulled one off the shelf last night (Skinny Legs and All) because I hadn't read him in quite a while. My gawd, I had forgotten how brilliant and talented that man was. I can't think of any writer in the history of this country that has ever produced more creative and thoughtful prose. A genuine force of nature.
  13. I only watch TV about twice a year so I am utterly unqualified to declare what is "good", but being stuck on the living room floor for a couple days with a newly spayed pup had me reaching for the remote and I ended up watching a show called American Primeval. Set in the mid 1800's in the Utah territory it's a dark and violent take on the three way conflict that took place between the natives, the Mormons and the US government. While it's vicious and depressing and makes you want to punch 100 people in the face, I still thought it was a pretty damned good watch.

  15. Nekulturny Philistines!
  16. Farewell to one of America's most skilled and original writers. When you hit that dock, I hope you earned the ticket to the boat labeled "Hell" with all the rich food, music, margaritas and dancing girls. 🤙 A bevy of Robbins' quotes
  17. There is no way he has the hips or feet to play out on the corner in this league; the athletes are too good and the offenses too quick.
  18. He's not a cornerback, he's a nickelback. It's a different role; see Taron Johnson.
  19. I wasn't referring to the inside Nickel role; I meant actual corner. If Pete was passing off the nickelback as an actual corner, then he was being kinda shady to make a point, imo.
  20. #1 - There is zero chance Cooper DeJean can play CB in this league. Ze-ro. #2- Safeties are a dime a dozen in the modern NFL, WR's are not. That is the reason Coleman was taken before DeJean. #3- You have no idea whatsoever what we have in Cole Bishop yet. #4- If their situations were reversed and Dejean had suffered an injury during the Bills camp that set him back, you would currently be lamenting the fact that the Bills had taken him when they could have instead taken a WR and had Cole Bishop 20 picks later.
  21. Both Kincaid and Coleman have been legitimate contributors; just not in the way that your unrealistic expectations wanted.

  23. Congrats! But people are asking you to tell them what your name is just to check whether senility is setting in.
  24. Or maybe you should have stopped before you started. We have a nice place here; please stop dragging gutpiles and stinkbombs into it. If you hate the media/Twitter nonsense so much, then what on Earth would possess you to bring it in here just to complain about it, so that you can make everybody else have to hear about both it and your complaints as well? We can do better.
