  1. Yeah, as a kid when ever I tried to get him to talk about the mob in the city or glorified it in any way, he would give me that look that went right through me. He would sit me down and tell me that sure they would do things for you to help you out, but they were not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. They would eventually cash in that favor and make you do something you would never want to do. Then he would give me the cautionary tale of his brother and that is the way he got started and that the family never knew what truly happened to him. So, I guess my grandfather gave me a different perspective on the mob, one that was not helpful to the new immigrants from Italy and one it which these criminals preyed upon them and used them.
  2. If you used "Bills Cosa Nostra" you might have a point
  3. My grandfather was straight off the boat (Ellis Island) as a kid with some of the family coming in a bit latter by way of Brazil first. Never knew why some had to go through Brazil to get here. Had a great uncle who was the black sheep of the family that was in the mob in NYC and did not live very long. My grandfather was not silcian never had much to say about the Italian mob other then he saw then all as criminals to stay away from. Back in those days it was hard enough to get a decent job just being an Italian. Unfortunately, he changed our last name so he could get a good job to feed his family.
  4. I am Italian too and it does not bother me. Besides Italians were not the only ethnic group that formed a maffia. There is the Irish maffia and others
  5. Did it start from a tailgating group of people at the stadium or a section of people in the stadium or did it start with an online group of people? I know it's about the whole fan base now but I suspect it did not start that way
  6. All the more reason to win the SB now
  7. This is barely a Dorsey run offense. It's a JA off schedule play offense. Panthers would have better luck hiring JA as OC
  8. Ok, then why did cincy fall one spot?

  10. Ridin dirty
  11. If statistically the bangles are as good as last year, no better then the bills take this game. If bangles have improved over last year it's a two-point loss for Bills
  12. I can only speak to how it was for me..I am not and never was a pro athlete but, after the initial injury which was very painful it became just a low level dull ach. For me it was the stability issues it felt like I was walking on clown stilts
  13. Could not happen to a more deserving team
  14. Josh does make things harder than they need to be at times

  16. E-Money👍
  17. OK so you think that was a offense that he should be fired for. Who make that decision the small mob of angry villagers or the company controlled by them? Not much of a choice is there? You only have the illusion of free speech. I say live and let live...no one is perfect Why? I am tolerant of all voices especially the ones I disagree with
  18. So, who decides what sins deserve canceling and please don't say the community because you can see where the Salem witch trials got us. Thank good for the first amendment and you don't have to watch his stuff ...just don't canceling him over it like a child throwing a fit
  19. Big difference between responding to something said you do not like and canceling someone for it
  20. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Drop the woke/ cancel crap and move on. Perfect example the public outrage exceeds the wrong done.
  21. He does not look washed out to me...greats hands. Click the watch on YouTube link
