I could only guess at the other two questions (and my guess would be either annexation or perhaps creation of a new Russia-friendly republic), but as far as the military facts on the ground, the bulk of Ukraine's forces are encircled in the Donbas, Mariupol, and now Odessa. Russia is winning and has never been anything other than a 99% favorite to win. Incidentally, most of the supplies and weapons the West are promising to Ukraine will end up in Russian hands.

haha, I predicted it. typical lib. you'd rather drown in mainstream media nonsense and believe that Ukraine is winning this war (lol) than just read the other side and decide for yourself which analysis sounds more reasonable. the funny thing is this isn't even a left / right issue. it's simply "where do I get the best war reporting, and do I understand the counterpoints to what I'm rooting for?" in fact, Fox News is just as bad as CNN on reporting on this war.

you will probably not even look at these links, but i will supply them anyway. note that they are unabashedly pro-Russia but the question you should ask is: are they accurate? we will find out in the coming days and weeks whether the mainstream media is painting the more accurate picture or whether the pro-Russia sites are. https://thesaker.is/ https://www.moonofalabama.org/ https://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/

lol, I'm going to guess the propaganda you're reading/watching about this war is less accurate than the propaganda i'm reading/watching.

does it really matter? it's probably a fake and if it isn't, it doesn't change anything about Josh. you might even respect him more. we did suck for 20 years

um, yes. lol, it's not the early-2000s anymore.

i read it as stafford trying to be faithful to his wife. if he hunched over the fallen photographer to check on her, he's such a cooz-hound that he'd be tempted to cop a feel or perhaps even perform insertion. (don't shoot the messenger! stafford is the bastard, not me.)

if the line continues its solid play from the end of the season, then great. it'd be foolish to count on it, though. definitely try to get better and build out depth on the OL. you're only addressing the catastrophic injury aspect of the debate, though, which is just a minor part of it. most people just don't want Josh to build up the cumulative wear and tear on his body over many years. it'd be nice if he could age like Brady instead of like Big Ben.

I don't personally care, but it should be noted that black people do, and they are not a fan:

I actually don't doubt it. I'm guessing you play at BetOnline with a Hud? You can print money that way. As for your question about why 7 to 1 is a bad price, you can search for how sportsbooks make a killing off the futures markets. If they're laying 7 to 1, I guarantee the fair price (based on current knowledge of the teams) using their computer algorithms is at least 10 to 1. If you do the math and add up the prices for all 32 teams in the Super Bowl futures market*, you'll find out that the sportsbook is basically charging a vig of 50% whereas on a regular point spread bet, they're only charging a vig of 10%. * Because we know in a perfectly fair market, all the probabilities should add up to 1

Flores wins if this happens. I believe Flores' career was already in danger because Ross was backstabbing / ratfudging him with the other owners; Flores was about to be blackballed out of the league. But if he can make Ross lose his team on the way out, then Flores will have gotten his vengeance. The "NFL is racist" stuff was just to draw as many eyeballs as possible to the situation in Miami and Flores' accusations. Flores may very well believe it but it's not his primary motive. As they way, "all politics is personal", and in this case there is a personal vendetta between Flores and Ross.

sure, but as long as degenerates are willing to bet this early, the sportsbooks will lay out some bad lines for them to bet into why? that number was going to still be available in September. you just loaned the sportsbook money interest-free for no reason.

it'd be an unpersuasive argument given that outstanding D-line, a lockdown corner, a good CB2 to complement, the WR corps when healthy, an O-line that can pass protect well, and Stafford's arm strength. the Rams were loaded. they also could've lost in the playoffs easily, but no need to downplay their talent.

i wish people would stop saying this. usually the winner of the Super Bowl gets a Super Bowl trophy

did he hit her or mush her? big difference

that sure sounds like our Bills alright. follow up 13 Seconds with a Super Bowl win, as that's the kind of thing this franchise does. as a Bills fan, I'm sure I won't be thinking about 13 Seconds in five years.

has a team ever opened in two consecutive seasons, without being the Super Bowl winner in either?

Happy for Aaron Donald, a legend of the game. Couldn't care less about Stafford. It's like saying, "finally the long-awaited ring for Kirk Cousins! so deserving!" Satisfied with the Rams win because it might send a message to McBeane since the Snead/McVay partnership in L.A. started the same season the McBeane partnership started in Buffalo. Two Super Bowl appearances, including a win for Snead/McVay. This helps keep McBeane humble hopefully, lets them know their poop does stink. This isn't really a bold prediction considering how hard it is to get there. Will Josh ever get there, with McD as his coach?

Wide Right was a 50/50 kick back in those days. (Nowadays, a kicker would be expected to hit it 85%+ of the time). MCM was a tough call to make. Yes, the ball went forward like 6 inches, maybe a foot, but you could understand why the refs thought it went parallel. No Goal. Again, a bang-bang play on what for decades had been called a goal. I'm not saying there was zero incompetence on the three above, sure there was. But on the scale of incompetence, none of those three come even close to 13 seconds. Not even close.

there's a decent chance he'll be calling play this upcoming season, depending on how badly it goes for first-time playcaller Dorsey

if Cincy beats the Rams, it wouldn't mean that the Bills would've done it also. just like how Cincy was able to figure out a coverage to slow down the Chiefs and we didn't. i tend to think the Rams will spank the Bengals, but IF the upset happens, we can't draw conclusions from it, and it wouldn't make 13 seconds any worse. it's bad enough already.

Clear step forward. Last year, we didn't have a chance to win the Super Bowl. This year we should've won it or at least should've been in the Super Bowl if not for massive unforgivable coaching incompetence. Most likely, next season won't give us as good a shot as we had this year.

Bills would draft a bust or at least underwhelming DE going by past history. Cincy didn't defeat the Chiefs because they had more defensive talent than the Bills. They had better brains than the Bills on defense. Not sure how to fix that, though. Since people seem to support McD and Frazier.

I'm hoping he can last as long as Big Ben did as an elite QB and hopefully we can win two titles. The problem is the coaching in the NFL has gotten a lot better and I don't know if you can make Cowher and Tomlin-like gameday mistakes and still win the two trophies. Josh's body isn't the the threat to Buffalo finally winning a Super Bowl. McD's brain is.

Okay, but this post is ironic because without Spain (and Portugal), the hispanic/latino classification wouldn't even exist. (The root word for "hispanic" btw, is Hispania, what the Romans called the Iberian peninsula where Spain and Portugal reside). See, what happened is this. Way back when, your ancestors from Spain -- great men that I admire -- set out to conquer, colonize, and civilize what we now know as Latin America. In the process of doing this, Spain (and Portugal) spread their seed/genetics, their language, and their religion (Catholicism) to the populations of these countries. So now, people from those Spanish-speaking countries are classified as "hispanic" / "latino". In that way, Spain is the arch-hispanic country. They started it all.
