Crazy story - I was driving Uber when he was playing for Buffalo. I actually picked him up the night before he quit during halftime. I drove him to Chipotle, he ran in to grab food then I drove him back home. He was a nice dude.. Very sad about what happened to him.

So glad you think it's okay if he drives for Uber. Thank you.

Thank you. As someone who works in the gig industry it never ceases to amaze me how many people look down on people like us. I make a damn good living and I enjoy working whenever I want and for as long as I want. I typically work 65-80 hours a week. I live in OP, own two homes, married, and drive pretty nice vehicles ( 2021 Dodge Charger RT is one of ours ). I make decent money doing what I enjoy ( driving ) and I have no boss other than the wifie So in other words I do just fine. Oh and no one was making fun of working gig jobs during the worst of the pandemic. I was one of the few people on the road delivering groceries for Whole Foods during the entire pandemic, even when we were unsure how contagious or deadly covid was.

Some of you people make the worst assumptions about people and frankly it's none of your business. He's picked me up a couple of times. He mostly works in OP ( where I live ). He's a cool guy.

Why is driving for Uber only for the peasants?

Who cares why he does it? Knocking a guy for driver Uber? What next, fast food + Walmart workers? Talk about looking down on people...WOW..

Have You Ever Been Fired From a Job?
Talonz replied to Halloween Land's topic in Off the Wall Archives
This happened just a few years ago -- I've been doing IT for most of my life. I was employed at a local company and I happened across a listing for a local school district hiring near me. I've worked in a few schools in my life, and I enjoyed it more than working at a private company.... I applied for the job and was subjected to several interviews including various members of the IT team calling my references and grilling them about me. It was pretty crazy. In the end I was hired - HOLY *****!!!! Decent pay, state benefits, and some clout all rolled into one. I was on cloud 9. I could work the next 20 years and get a nice retirement, etc. Add on top of that I just got married for the second time. Life was looking up like never before. I started the job. Worked there a couple of days and was invited to an employee only lunch at a local joint. I went and was witness to my fellow co-workers already starting to complain that they heard they are going to cut the size of the IT department down, and all types of other crazy crap. I was like WTF is going on. This place is C R A Z Y! What I thought would be a stable environment turned out to be chaotic just a few days after starting.... When you start a job like this you are in a probation period. You pay union dues BUT ARE NOT REPRESENTED by the union!! LOL !!! Anyhow, I just had a feeling the whole time I worked there starting with the employee meeting that something just wasn't right. My manager NOT ONCE in the 5 months I worked there ever took me aside to talk to me, find out about me, direct me to do anything. It was bizarre. Some of the guys never warmed up to me and of course there were a couple of clicks in the department. This person didn't like this person, watch out for this one, watch out for that one, oh don't talk to him, blah blah blah. I could go on and on about stuff that happened there, but I will spare you. It was stressful, depressing, and a horrible job. One of the worst I ever had in my life. The job itself wasn't great, but the drama and bull#### made it unbearable.... At about the 5 month point I was called on lunch to come see the a couple of the people in charge. I asked if everything was OK? Do I have anything to worry about? "Nah, you're fine, just got to go over paperwork" -- LOL... I finish my lunch, nervously call my wife, then go see them. I was fired on the spot but given the opportunity to finish my 6 months if I wanted to come into work instead of unemployment right away. How generous... I ended up burning my accumulated time off, then working about another 2 weeks. I had to sit and stare at a wall. No computer access, no phone use.... It SUCKED. Oh and it turned out I was hired to replace a guy who got caught with child porn and was on his way to jail. Also it turned out my position was never permanent. They had to show a cut in the department before the next budget so they hired me only to fire me and protect the guy just above me in seniority who had been there a few years.. Unions !! Oh and they never refunded me the almost $700.00 in union dues I paid. You pay the dues but aren't a member for 6 months ... SCAM.. -

Peterman Pick after early hit on Zay Jones?
Talonz replied to Real McClappy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I still don't understand. If it wasn't tipped or fumbled how can a defender be allowed to plow over a WR while the ball is in the air. It doesn't make sense...Sorry.. -

Talonz replied to Real McClappy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't know..Even with an explanation it still makes no sense to me... If it was a fumble, sure, but I don't recall ever seeing a defender being able to legally steamroll a receiver while the ball is in the air. -
Everyone that wanted TT gone, we told you

Agree 100% -
I think Peterman is the worst QB I've ever seen in my life. I've been watching the NFL for 30 years. That doesn't make me an expert by any stretch, but I do have eyes and this guy sucks. Noodle arm, no timing, no zip, no pocket presence...NOTHING. How anyone can defend him at this point is beyond me. I know our offense sucks almost all around, but would the results be any different if Peterman was the QB for the Rams, Patriots, Eagles, Falcons, etc??? I don't know what his problem is ..Mental? Stage fright? Frankly I don't care. This is the NFL. Rarely has a player this bad been given so many chances and I frankly don't understand how he didn't get cut weeks ago... If it has anything to do with religion and faith I seriously will not watch another Bills game or be a fan until this entire staff is history...
