  1. The white kid up in Michigan (Oxford HS) who shot up his school and killed 4 was FIFTEEN when he did that. How long after the shooting was it before we knew who he was? I'll save you the time of looking it up....it was WITHIN DAYS. He was a juvenile.
  2. @Mr. WEO I stand corrected. Wiki says this about it: 1) When the American Red Cross introduced back blows to its official guidelines on treating choking, Dr Heimlich disagreed that back blows should be used and asked that his name be removed from the guidelines. Leading to the renaming of the Heimlich maneuver as an Abdominal thrust. Weird that he disagreed on that point, since it seems that two different methods would be better than one, but I guess he had his reasons. And the Heimlich move IS the abdominal thrust move, while the back blows are just that, back blows. Not sure where I heard the lawsuit story, but it was years ago.
  3. You can't use "Heimlich" unless you pay the Heimlich family. Years ago the American Red Cross had to stop using that name, under threat of being sued, so now they just call it the "Abdominal Thrust method." True Story.
  4. When I saw this thread topic, I couldn't help thinking about the Peter Sellers movie, "Being There." LOL. His character was named Chauncey, and he was a gardener. Pretty good movie.
  5. Still no suspects publicly named/identified, even though you would certainly think that there were plenty of EYEwitnesses who actually saw the shooters shooting their guns. The "official" word is that they have 3 suspects in custody and also have recovered some guns too.
  6. The story at that link from 10 years ago is supposedly satire, but it is actually straight out truth. With as many guns as we now have in this country, there's absolutely no way to take them all away from everybody. Plus, ya know, it's actually a right (#2 in the Bill of Rights) to own a gun, granted to all of us by our Constitution. And we already have pretty good "gun laws" all over this land too, and ironically, in cities with very strict gun laws (like Chicago), it doesn’t deter criminals from using guns, at all. So again, at an OUTSIDE event, spread over a large, non-contained area, with hundreds of thousands of people there, it is absolutely impossible to prevent something like this, unless there were no guns in this country. But then, I'm sure if some nutcase really wanted to hurt people, he would just use a knife, or a vehicle (WI parade), or some other weapon.
  7. I mean, unless there were absolutely ZERO guns in all of the United States (impossible at this point), then preventing it from "ever happening again" is impossible at an outside event like this, where hundreds of thousands of people are there. Sadly, bad and/or mentally ill people are pretty much everywhere, and no one knows for sure when one of these people will strike.
  8. Just read a story on this at a KC tv stations website, and it had no definitive info on the weapon used, but I highly doubt that a AR15 was used due to the simple fact that NINE children were shot and none of them died. I would guess that it was at the other end of the gun chain, like a .22 caliber. Just guessing though...
  9. You are 100% spot on. I pretty much have said this very same thing for months now about JA, in many different threads in this forum. And most of the time, most people would Roll Eyes, Red X, Laugh, Thumbs Down, or Puke at me. The reality is that a lot of Bills fans have blinders on, and think that JA can do no wrong, and anybody who dares question that narrative gets blasted.
  10. What? No. The Bengals intercepted a Mahomes pass in OT and took it back the other way, got into FG range, and kicked the OT winner. They had lost the OT coin toss, and KC could have won it with a TD (like they did the previous game vs the Bills). You could say that their defense really won that game for them.
  11. Or how about a 10 minute ( or even shorter) OT period? Whoever is ahead at the end wins.
  12. Josh Allen will never hoist the Lombardi trophy, not with Bills and not with any other team.
  13. Sure looks like holding to me.
  14. Coming sooner than most fans think, probably.
  15. LMAO. I see what you did there. 😉
  16. So what? How much does Josh Allen make, and how many screw ups did he have this year? What about Stephon Diggs? I could go on and on. And I’m 100% positive that you could go around the league, and on each team, find guys who have had a down year and who are making way more than what “they are worth.” This topic is funny, it really is.
  17. I strongly disagree with the bold words above. Physically, JA certainly is equal to, or maybe even a bit above, Mahomes. But mentally (the mental part of the game such as reading defenses and making the correct decisions with ball placement….some people call these skills the intangibles), he is definitely NOT as talented as Mahomes. JA’s play on the field this past year absolutely proves the latter. Some would say that he has actually regressed in the last couple years. If he was just as talented as Mahomes, 3 weeks ago in the KC game, he would have led the team to a game leading TD on that final drive….but he didn’t. Mahomes pretty much always gets the game winning points, at the end. His playoff record speaks for itself.
  18. Watched the VW commercial this morning. The actors for the "just married" couple near the end of the spot was an interesting choice by VW.
  19. I thought that the Bills are over the cap RIGHT NOW. Do they have $$$ to go after big name/expensive players?
  20. And a unique new thread too!
  21. C'mon man, you know darn well that regular season games and playoff games are worlds apart. Those regular season wins mean diddly squat.
  22. I agree with you on JA not having the discipline that PM has, but on attitude, JA is just as good. But certainly this season showed us that JA still has a ways to go re reading defenses and making the right decisions with the ball; anybody who disagrees with this is just lying to themselves. More golf outings will probably make him better though! LOL
  23. Looks like drone Flynearby, not Flyover. LOL
  24. Ya think!? 🤔😉
  25. How do you know she’s letting him do her? She is on record as having many “bad” relationships. Maybe this time, she’s keeping the lid on the cookie jar locked until it gets more serious. I know I’m somewhat “poking fun” here, but seriously, why do so many people assume that they are just fornicating like wild animals? Is there any proof to that at all?
