Bill from NYC

It's been a long time comin' It's goin' to be a long time gone And it appears to be a long Appears to be a long Appears to be a long time Yes, a long, long, long, long time before the dawn Turn, turn any corner Hear, you must hear what the people say You know there's something that's goin' on around here That surely, surely, surely won't stand the light of day

I don't really understand the shock BBF. I live in New York. Do you? They are letting criminals go with no bail and giving them Mets tickets, Amazon Cards, and Dunkin Donuts gift cards if they appear in court. What would make you believe that the politicians who allow this care about you and/or your family? Bro, I'm truly not trying to argue. My question is legit.

I believe this article and think that these robots are only a matter of time. If someone would have came out to the park in Queens where we hung out in the 70s and told us that talking telephones would take us to a destination thousands of miles away, we would have thought the person was tripping. I also predict that at some point, people will be able to point phones at each other and read the other person's mind. Not in my lifetime mind you, but I think that it is just a matter of time. Jmo.

Why follow me to higher ground? Lost as you swear I am Don't throw away your basic needs Ambiance and vanity Don't scream about, don't think aloud Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out Don't worry about, don't speak of doubt Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out December promise you gave unto me December whispers of treachery December clouds are now covering me December songs no longer I sing

I got jumped coming home last night Shadow in the alley turned out all my lights Round and round and round and round Don't take much to get me on the ground Loose Lucy, she was sore Says I know you can't want my love no more, Singing yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Singing thank you, for a real good time

There you were, I fell on the floor The way you move, girl, only made me want you more I did not know you had me hypnotized There's a movement of your body dancin' in my eyes I know I had to hold you and make you mine Don't want to control you just to have a good time In ecstasy when you're layin' down next to me Oh, no, no, ecstasy, yeah, when you're layin' down next to me

Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her, And then you get distracted by her older sister. When in walks her father and takes you in line, And says, "Better go on home, son, and make up your mind." And then you bet you'd better finally decide. And say yes to one and let the other one ride. There's so many changes and tears you must hide. Did you ever have to finally decide?

If I had my choice of matter I'd would rather be with cats All engrossed in mental chatter Showing where your mind is at While relating to each other How strong the love can be By resisting all the good times with each groovy chick we see I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so I'm a man yes I am and I can't help but love you so

I only want to hold you, I don't want to tie you down, Or fit you in the lines, I might have drawn. It's just that I, oh I, have gotten used to having you around, The landscape would be empty, if you were gone.

I'll learn to play the saxophone, And I'll play just what I feel, Drink scotch whiskey, all night long, And die behind the wheel. They've got a name for the winners in the world, I want a name when I lose, They call Alabama the CRIMSON TIDE, Call me Deacon Blues.

Good. As I said, it could happen to any team. The "secondary" comment was me alluding to my distaste to drafting first round DBs. I guess it wasn't funny.

Well I married me a wife, Gave me trouble my whole life, She put me, Out in the cold, rain and snow.

Are these guys important players? I suppose that laws against rape are "secondary" to these guys. Situations like this just suck and can happen to any team. I just hope that the women are ok. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/two-ohio-state-football-players-charged-rape-kidnapping-court-records-n1135566

WOW!!!!! Langston Walker was as bad as it gets. The only reason I have seen worse blockers in the NFL is because I'm a Bills fan. Walker couldn't get out of his stance until rushers were already by him. He was awful in run blocking and his lack of balance caused him to get tipped over by defenders at times. Other than the above he was fairly decent. Riemersma was a slow possession type receiver with bad hands. I have seen other posts throughout the years claiming that he was good and could never understand why. Believe it or not, Jonas Jennings was a fine RT for the Bills. Naturally they let him walk in free agency but iirc, he left for the 49ers (for a big contract) and didn't play well. I don't remember whether or not it was due to injury.

I remember when rock was young Me and Suzie had so much fun Holding hands and skimming stones Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own But the biggest kick I ever got Was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock While the other kids were Rocking Round the Clock We were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock

I left home seeking a job that I never did find, Depressed and downhearted I took to cloud nine. I'm doin' fine, up here on cloud nine. Listen, one more time, I'm doin' fine, up here on cloud nine.

The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is. The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is. First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is. First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.

In my most secure moments I still can't believe, I'm spending these moments with you. And the ground that I'm walking, the air that I breathe, Are shared at those moments with you. You love for real, You show the feel, Of everything that touches you.

I was a lonely soul, I had nobody 'til I met you. Now you, keep me waiting, All of the time, What should I do?

Your philosophy is sound Augie, however these times were so weird and taxing for fans that is does merit some discussion. Back in the Levy/Jauron days, guys like us went to sports bars and watched the Bills on satellite TV. At home we would watch some college games on a 32 inch screen and read football magazines and newspapers. Then, we would come up with better draft plans than Bills coaches and GMs. After these 2 miserable failures, things stayed insane for another decade or so. Spiller, Whitner, Kouandjio…..really? I can think of several posters who 100% knew that these were dumb moves that had zero chance of success, and I do mean ZERO. If we were talking about another subject I would tend to agree with your post. In our case, being a Bills fans has been quite bizarre, weird enough to rehash from time to time. And btw, if we don't win big with Allen (I for one think that we can mind you), this thread will be considered giggling kindness when angry fans talk about passing on Mahomes/Watson to draft a cornerback.

Oh absolutely! He was ahead of his time and on his way to being a superstar.

Absolutely!

Mike Williams was an overweight RT coming out of college with a chronic ankle injury, a pretty bad scenario for a 360 pound person. Once again, a draft bust isn't only about who you select, it's also about who you pass on. Donahoe passed on LEFT TACKLE Bryant McKinnie who had a career just a shade below Hall of Fame level. A 12 year old with a copy of the old Pro Football Weekly could have read Joel Buchsbaum's ratings and drafted better than us. I'm not joking.

I clearly remember your outburst when he was hired. I was puzzled too because as I recall, Jauron had a decent record in Chicago, or; am I wrong? It became clear that Levy hired him because he was a young, under control image of himself. Both of these men seriously believed that no position on the field was more important than cornerback and/or safety. Not QB, LT, Pass rushing DE.....nothing, and this was before the rule changes. These were brilliant men yet they knew less about football than an average high school coach. Unbelievable. Truly mind boggling how Mr. Wilson paid these men to destroy his team.

The #8 in a draft that was loaded with talent needs to be more than a legit starter, which he barely was. Whitner was an undersized safety with mediocre speed. I agree that the 2000 draft produced worse players for the Bills. Absolutely true but there were less good players to choose from. In fact, it was probably one of the worst draft classes ever. I think that the first QB chosen was Chad Pennington. In 2006, Levy passed on excellent players and turned down at least 2 offers to trade down, one of which included multiple picks. I heard him say this during a post draft interview and he was actually bragging about drafting Whitner.
