  1. “First and foremost we believe in the receivers that we already have in the room," head coach Sean McDermott said. "We'll see when Amari gets here and how we can get him up to speed and get him integrated into what we do and how we do things. It's never about one guy. We're thankful to have him, but it's never about just one guy. It's about the team, so we're anxious to get him on board here and get rolling."


    Good ole McPetty. Five snaps in Week 10 incoming.

    Remember who the Bills' head coach is?

     

    Who CANT see McDermott going on to Sal's show Friday and blathering up some corporatefootballspeak about how Cooper needs to be acclimated into the team culture and playbook and we will see when that happens theres no timetable trust the process blah blah blah?

    I live in a very rich area...might the richest in Atlanta.  Chipper Jones, the Bitcoin guy and Chrisley Knows Best all lived across the street from me.  Chipper sold his house 2 years ago and Chrisley Knows Best is in jail.  I'm not rich, I live on a side street across this neighborhood.


    I don't know why but rich white people love to bike ride.  Almost every Saturday, there will be literally 30-40 bicyclist take up the roads around me.  All with their tights, $5,000 bike, $200 helmet, $300 Oakleys/Ray Ban's and Fiji Water bottles....

     

    Fixed:

     

    Knicker bibshorts, $12,500 bike, $300 helmet, $450 Oakleys and Carbo-Rocket Water bottles. Oh....you forgot $800 Garmin.  

     

    Here's what Im riding and annoying motorists with these days: https://gearjunkie.com/biking/enve-melee-lightest-race-road-bike

    Benford won the race by the way. Benford had to hit 21 mph also. He was gaining.

     

     

     

    Inexcusable that the Bills dont have someone fast enough to catch Henry in this spot. Fire Beane. And fire McD for reccomending Beane to ownership....  

     

    ....and change the combination on my luggage.

    Watching the pre-game, and as the game settles in, it does sort of hit you.

     

    Kinda like the Bills moving talk of not so long ago.

     

    Was watching a game the other day from Oakland. Loved the old school banging of the drums and the horns and most of all the QUIET. Contrast to my CitiField which resembles Carlito Brigante's disco on most nights, with the noise and the flashing lights CONSTANTLY.

  6. You can keep your Ohtani. For my money, the "greatest offensive player" in the modern age is Rickey Henderson when he was on the A's (and Yankees too). Yes, Ohtani has a ton of steals...but NOBODY created absolute HAVOC for a defense and pitcher like Rickey did when he was on base. 

     

    Get off my lawn.

    This is the problem with a defensive coach and a superstar QB.

     

    What if your "defensive coach" is every bit of the X&Os genius on HIS side of the ball that the "offensive geniuses" are on theirs....AND....he runs one of the best programs in the league in terms of consistent high player development and cohesion?

  8. Im a Bills, Mets and Knicks fan at at some point Ive "quit" all of them, only to come back. Sometimes it was becuase the team was awful (Mets) or a plyaer I loved retired (Patrick Ewing) others becuase "life" got in the way (Bills, when I was working Sunday's AND the team was bad, which means only 1 non-Sunday game/year). In all cases I came back and Im proud to say NOT just becuase the team got better. With the Bills that happened when I stopped working and could actually watch live and Mets/Knicks when I decided to catch a game in-person and I was reminded me how much I loved those sports...and started watching again.

     

    I will say, pursuant to May Day 10's and Ned's post above, Im somewhat close to bailing on the whole NFL. Hard to do with the Bills where they are....but the "NFL Product", as a whole, is just terrible these days and getting worse IMHO. But thats a subject for another thread.

    Sad part about the injury is he could’ve easily prevented it.

     

     

     

    This is the part that is being missed big time. The news today is that hes going to see a "concussion specialist." How about going to a "dont use your head as a battering ram specialist???" 

     

    Concussions...any injury...can happen on the freakish of plays, sure. But part of the equasion has to be the athlete controlling what s/he can to avoid these things from happening in the first place. That fact seems to be getting glossed over.

    Funny you should mention that movie.

    The "shooter," who is the officer that presses the catapult launch button once everything is OK, was my flight instructor during advanced Navy jet training.

    Good guy and still a friend.

     

    That movie had quite a bit of collateral damage.

    There's an F-14 that does an extremely low to the water pull out. The guy who did it was trying to make it cooler than he should have. Overstressed the airplane.

    A senior officer doing liaison with the studio got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and lost his career.

     

    Top Gun was much more scrutinized as the result, and had no such issues, although famous civilian acrobatics pilot was killed during filming of a spin scene.

     

    I just always appreciated the authenticity of that movie because it was shot on an operational carrier, no studio, no CGI movie trickery with the flight scenes (for the most part). In that video at 2:19, the Corsair launching blows a tire, which resulted in the barricade scene earlier in the film...and the producers just worked it into the storyline. You can see the puff and the wing dip.

    Top Gun Opening scene

     

    The opening scene of the original Top Gun.

    They absolutely nailed the sounds and environment of launch and recovery, because they actually filmed real operations.

    Flight deck guys leaning into the wind and connecting launch bars to the catapults and hold back bars behind the nose gear, hauling fuel lines and air start hoses around, with the real steam drifting around.

    Guys giving the  engine run up signs prior to launch. Jet blast deflectors going up and down.

    Real footage of actual launces and traps. 

    It still gets my metabolism up as the tension in that environment is relived.

    Just an incredible environment

     

    Interesting footnote. Tony Scott from Paramount was responsible for the filming of that. He really liked the sun backlighting the scene, but since it was during actual operations, Enterprise needed to turn and it would change the lighting. Scott asked the skipper to keep going for five more minutes, and the skipper said that would cost $25,000, so Scott wrote a personal check, and Enterprise stayed the course for five more mins.

     

     

    They did do a great job with that opening but for "authentic" modern carrier ops, nothing beats "The Final Countdown."

     

     

  12. IMHO, cops were too aggressive. However, theres a reason cops are generally jumpy when they pull over someone who commits a crime and then doesnt comply, especially when it comes to the windows and doors of the vehicle. 

     

    Diller and his partner, who were with their sergeant, asked the men to roll down their windows. The pair in the car refused, according to the police video, which was seen by the source and described to reporters. Diller asked Rivera to take his hands out of his sweatshirt pocket, but the suspect balked, the source said.

  13. That game had all the WORST of the NFL, IMHO. 

     

    The overproduction of literally everying. Its a football game, not the royal coronation. Play ball, for Chrissakes. 

    Taylor Swift over and over and over and over

    Pattty M. puff pieces (Does he like chicky nuggets??!!?? Way to ask the hard questions, Simms)

    Payton Manning being his usual buffoonish self in a commercial. Guy's a bigger W-word than Jamie Lee Curtis in Trading Places

    Collinsworth more excited than a 10 year old boy overdosed on adderall.

    Questionable refereeing favoring darling Patty and implementation of terrible new rules. The new kickoff is an embarrassment, IMHO.

     

    While Im ranting......my lawn.....get off it.

  14. As someone who logs over 5,000 miles a year cycling, I’m gonna keep what I really feel about this to myself, lest my big mouth gets me shown the door again.  
     

    I’ll just say that next time you want to joke about turning a some cyclist just trying to get a ride in and do a workout into a hood ornament or throw some other kind of hate in our direction for even  the slightest infraction we committed on the open road, I ask that you remember tragedies like this.
