I was about to type that in but decided to check first.

We can (and will) sugar coat it, I mean; this IS a board for Bills Fans. The truth however is that Peters was one of the very best players in the history of this team. We traded him away in his prime and didn't get anything close to adequate compensation because at the time, we were a second rate franchise. Now, the FANS were NOT second rate. No, it was the ownership and management. Peters will be in the Hall of Fame. Rationalizing getting rid of a world class left tackle in his prime is just silly. Jmo.

He is a great player and an even better person. When he was at the combines, he went to visit terminally ill kids in a children's hospital. I had the pleasure of watching every play that he was in at the University of Alabama. He was great the second that he took the field. If not for the pandemic he would have received a bigger contract and would be worth every dime. Congrats Derrick. You deserve every penny and more.

My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air And dreaming I'm a doctor It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand Oh I feel so Something happens and I'm head over heels I never find out, till I'm head over heels Something happens and I'm head over heels Ah don't take my heart don't break my heart Don't, don't throw it away

Comparing Christmas music compared to riots, shooting incident increases across the country, cities burning, and a pandemic? Sure. This makes total sense. -
Good points! I sure am glad that none of this exists up north.

Many years have passed since those summer days among the fields of barley See the children run, as the sun goes down among the fields of gold You'll remember me when the west wind moves upon the fields of barley You can tell the sun, in his jealous sky when we walked in fields of gold When we walked in fields of gold When we walked in fields of gold

Redskins facing severe pressure to change name.
Bill from NYC replied to Beast's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I understand what you are saying. Here is my view: Doug Whaley wore some of the nicest suits I for one have ever seen. That statement is not at all cliché. There are zero insinuations or implications, whereas well spoken and well dressed have been around for many, many years. Again, it implies that they are the exception. I have seen "well spoken" used many times on this board, and I am NOT calling anyone who said this a racist. I guess that the only reason I know this is because a black friend told me about these terms several decades ago. As I said, resentment for these terms is nothing new. Btw I remember an interview with Chris Speilman when he was on the Bills. "I think that it was in SHOUT." Chris was built like an ox and practiced as hard as any player. He was offended by being called a "smart player." I agreed with him. He was a very good player as much or more for his physical ability as his brains. I would make the same case for London Fletcher, except that I don't remember him being called a "smart player," but he truly was. I like to believe/hope that we are now past this kind of thing. -
It's been a long time Now I'm, coming back home I've been away now Oh how, I've been alone Wait, 'til I come back to your side We'll forget the tears we've cried

Been so long since, I belong here Ever since I left my way Still I like to, be beside you So tell me, can I stay? Beside you I want you so much I want your smile When you smile at me in the morning And it's been so long, since I felt at home with your love.

John, I read an article on a Crimson Tide fan page that a cancelled Alabama football season would cost the Tuscaloosa area more than 2 billion dollars. Obviousl;y I cannot attest to the veracity of this report, but; there is zero doubt that there are HUGE amounts of money involved. HUGE!!!!!

Hate Speech from Philly......
Bill from NYC replied to Bill from NYC's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Maybe I am more sensitive to it because of where I live. A few weeks ago they were blaming Hasadic Jews for the spread of covid19. Many of them went to a funeral and were blasted in the media. What many don't know is that not all of them are stereotypical "smart, rich Jews." Some Hasidics live in a very limited world and were told by their leaders to attend a funeral. Do I think this was a mistake? Yes. CNN said in a segment that the riots did not lead to a spike in corona cases. Yeah, ok, but Jews were blasted for days about attending a funeral. I don't know if I agree that it is open season on everyone. Even if it is, it sure does seem that attacking Jews is less frowned upon, and this sucks. -
Hate Speech from Philly......

Sure. I agree in principle, but it sure does seem like open season on Jews. How many pages were on the thread about Fromme, ya know? -
Does anyone here think that this is OK? What (if any ) actions should the league take? https://theeagleswire.usatoday.com/2020/07/07/philadelphia-eagles-desean-jackson-anti-semitic-post-adolph-hitler/amp/?fbclid=IwAR0SnLijpKCpy6cnkoZHZkpve-cB09tA42o_WIrUOjEsuubAuCgnxBkOe5c
