Possibly my most hated Patriot of all time. I wish him nothing but the worst.

Nah. “Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'” ― Isaac Asimov This is why we have so many Flat Earthers in 2021. This idea that ALL opinions should be "respected". FACTS should be respected. Opinions are like a-holes, everyone has one and most stink. There is no requirement that all should be respected.

To the bolds... I'm less surprised than most with the Bills not bringing in a CB. I think they are very happy with the development of Taron Johnson and Dane Jackson, and will look to add via another mid/late-round pick. The high number of OL is Beane's MO. He couldnt do this last year with COVID mucking everything up, but his usual trick is to sign a lot of "decent" OL and then trade away the extras for mid-round picks as we get through camp.

I was just going to post that Kyle Brandt and Chris Simms represent opposite ends of the Josh-fan spectrum (Kyle being super drooling fanboy, Chris being a more analytical, Xs-and-Os type fan), and that Pat McAfee is the happy medium between the two.

Ha! Well... zero amount of science when into those decisions. That was all money and politics.

Or when you think youre just going to harmlessly bite that tiny piece of cuticle off, and it ends up ripping your entire finger apart. I really gotta put an end to this.

Every time I think I've successfully quit biting my nails, football season statrs up again and I'm right back at it with the Heart-Attack Bills.

Because the whole thing is silly and unnecessary and only serves to give authorities another path to make voting more difficult. If there are so many ways around it, why have it at all? It's also interesting that its the main thing you are focusing on. But I'm not going to debate any longer this with a hypocrite who is responding from a Democratic lead state, and who takes full advantage of the luxury of having Democratic voting policies. Trade in your mail-in ballot and go stand in line for 8 hours yourself if you think these are such great policies. Meanwhile, we'll be fighting for our most basic rights down here in GA.

Just when @SDS thought it was safe to unpin the thread! Josh and the NYTs show him otherwise!

Yes, as a City of Atlanta voter whose rights are under direct attack here, I know the bill very well. Seems like you are getting your info from biased talking points tho. It does neither of what you are stating, but does use some BS to try to give that image. Just like the same false narrative that this bill is necessary due to fraud in the last election. And again you show you dont know anything about what we are facing in this state. 150 feet is child's play for GA voting. Strange that as someone such as yourself who votes by mail (also under attack here) with no issues, you have no problem with our local government attacking that very method.

Meaning they arent campaigning for any politician. Simply there to give out supplies. It's necessary because thanks to Kemp/GOP policies, we have times of 6+ hours people wait in line just to vote here in GA. The solution would be to get those times down, but that means making it easy for the highly populated (read:Democrat) areas to vote. Which is the opposite of what they are trying to do.

Local Governments getting involved. Which Repubs should love since they are all about keeping it small and local.

Agreed. They have good reason to be optimistic with the way the vaccine roll out has been going so far this year. But it is also better/easier to plan for bigger crowds and cut back, than it is to plan for small crowds and then have to expand logistics at the last minute. Given there are no issues with vaccine supply or appointment logistics, the only thing that will prevent us from getting to back to normal is demand.

Agreed. It really sank what was supposed to be a fun interview, and some light entertainment this deep in the offseason. No matter how he answered, it was a bad question for the time. I also agree that he was most likely trying to give the most neautral, politically correct answer he could come up with. But that wasnt the right one if he wanted to shut the question down. And CA wasnt going to open restrictions until May 1. His answer could simply be based in the fact that he isnt eligible yet, and therefore hasnt even had a chance to "make a choice". And didnt want to sound like he was going to skip any lines or anything. Bummer that this is the big takeaway from the interview. Oh well.

Source for that bold? Because it really wasnt just for them. It was also to relieve the strain on the limited healthcare resources that were being inundated with sick people from all demographics. Regardless of the reason, the goal for re-opening has ALWAYS been 60-70% of the total population vaccinated. That has always been the stated goal from the start of vaccinations, and the start of re-opening. Cuomo said it himself in the press conference announcing they were letting some fans in for the playoff games. There is no goal post moving. 60-70% has ALWAYS been the goal for herd immunity. Not just with COVID, but with all diseases/vaccinations. It's great to hear they are above 70% for the 65+ crowd. Now just need to get the full population there. Notice, we are saying 70%. NOT 100%. There is plenty of room for people who dont want to get it for whatever their reason. You say "people have lives to lead". Not if they are dead. (and a thank you for keeping this off the main board)

If you all want full attendance (which we all do) then we should be pushing to make sure everyone gets vaccinated, and we hit that 70% level asap. If people still want to make a juvenile stand about "choice" then it will be their fault when we arent back to 100% open and we can't go to Bills games.

City full of obnoxious massholes who got far too many championships across all sports. Most of which are rivals to more local teams (Pats vs Bills, Bruins vs Sabres, Red Sox vs Yanks). Worst fans in all the leagues. And that is just on the sports front.

The problem is, there shouldnt be "sides" about this.

Jack Kemp, Bruce Smith, and Terrance McGee all have 1 thing in common. None of them have ever been in my kitchen.

This is peak offseason ***** posting. Breathe it in. Enjoy it. The draft is almost here.

I only see the new ads when I browse from my phone where I am not logged in. Never seen the new ads when I'm logged in, and using Firefox with ABP.

Good catch. I got the year wrong, not the admin. The Spiller/Gronk draft was 2010. Nix and Gailey's first year. The rest of my post stands as intended.

Not sure I saw an answer to my previous question, so I'll ask the architect. Where do you get an extra $500M (30-50% of budget) for making a building with a roof? T That is more than what the Falcons paid for their state-of-the-art retractable. We arent talking retractable here.

Oh yeah, it was a Super Bowl, wasnt it... All fair points. I'm not saying he's great either. I like the "mobile Andy Dalton" description. But he has a decent resume, and I can see a late-round team giving up a 1st for him. I think if New England was in the 20s, they'd pull that trigger. But #15 is a bit high for him.

If Darnold gets them a 6th, now they know that they can trade Zach Wilson in 3 years for a 5th! Looks like McNair's plan worked! <tinfoilhat.emoji>
