  1. BillfromNYC alt account spotted
  2. Yeah i'm with you on this - seemed like he was a hard worker and consistent performer. Guys like this are always a mystery to me, kind of reminds me of Damien Covington at LB years ago who showed flashes early on then became persona non grata
  3. Meh. He's probably happy to go sit in the sun and run out the clock.
  4. did you get shoved in your locker a lot as a kid? rhetorical question of course!
  5. Yeah I'd expect Miami gets 5-7 wins with Tuhrod, safely out of the Tua lottery. I'd rather the Bills didn't have to face him twice a year
  6. I haven't paid a lot of attention to him over the years, but that video at least, he looks like a guy with good vision and ability to follow his blocks. That'll definitely extend his shelf life, and maybe help teach the youngsters
  7. Meh, i mean AB is great but he is on the back end of his career. By the time JA is an all pro, AB will be a broken down mess and not worth whatever they were going to pay him. Let's keep teh youth movement going and get JA a couple guys in the draft that can become his Andre Reed.
  8. Good point, at my salary I'd never live in NYC (be lucky to get a 3rd story walk up in Brooklyn or God forbid have to live in Queens or Staten Island), but if you have money, and can afford to live in Manhattan or Park Slope, it's great. Especially for an unattached wealthy young man in peak physical condition
  9. I'll be damned https://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/13920
  10. Oh why didn't you say so then the Buffalo You Know Baseball Bats are Made From Trees and North Tonawanda Used to be Known As the Lumber City or Something So We Got This
  11. Or, the Buffalo We Were Once One of the Biggest and Richest Cities in The US, Then Things Kind of Fell Apart, But Things Are Getting Better, And It's Still a Wonderful Place To Live Even If Willis McGahee Was Bored Here I realize it's long but I think it provides more context then the Blue Collar name so it doesn't have to be explained so much
  12. How about the Buffalo 19th Century Heroic Figures Who In A Modern Context Are Considered Horrible Monsters But We Shouldn't Do That
  13. You know... not for nothing, but if you're doing this for a school project, you should probably be aware that Niagara Falls does not, in fact, provide power for 'most of the east coast'. It doesn't even supply most of NYC's power, even though the bulk of it goes there
  14. Also, OJ Simpson too soon?
  15. how embarrassing would it be when you got your ass kicked by a guy in tights and elf boots? pretty embarrassing I'd say
  16. Yeah I don't get the hype either. I mean he's an adequate QB who has seen success on a team with a generationally great D. Dont get me wrong, he has fine taste in women, but he's not worth 100 trillion dollars
  17. i want to go to an event as an observer. what sort of formal education do i need for that?
  18. Can you imagine if this happens in the Super Bowl, especially if it's a bad call or non call, and it benefits the pats?
  19. Yeah and so was Don Shula when the Bills were getting jobbed over and over again in the 70s and 80s. The point is that the technology now exists to allow for rapid review of each play, or minimally each play where everyone in the stands know somebody get screwed, flag or no flag. Like I said above, every halfwit watching on their TV at home can see clearly lots of instances in every single game where refs either throw a flag when they shouldn't, or don't when they should.
  20. They're considering making PI calls reviewable: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/25818681/nfl-again-discuss-reviewing-pass-interference-calls I work for a company that's basically run by attorneys. They have no idea what we do or sell, but what they do know is liability, and if they decide that there needs to be a change in the business to mitigate potential liability, it happens fast. This is no different. The last thing the NFL wants is a trial where through discovery all the internal communications regarding the bad call become public, ESPECIALLY if there's an internal email from someone important admitting it was a terrible, game outcome effecting call. Chances are that this case doesn't go anywhere, but you never know, especially if it's a jury trial, which the NFL would be insane to agree to, but might not be given a choice if the judge is a closet saints fan. stranger things have happened. PI should be reviewable. In fact, all calls and all plays should be reviewable, and it's on the NFL to figure out how to do that without making a mess of the game. You all know that with 99%+ of plays, the first post-play replay on TV you can see if the penalty (or non-call) was legit, there's no reason to have to take more than 20 seconds with crews dedicated to the task.
  21. Criminally underappreciated post
  22. This. Calling social justice groups a charity is really stretching the definition of that word. I'm sure there are some out there actually doing meaningful work for the downtrodden, but the vast vast majority of them are thinly veiled political fronts, and as you say, basically the foot soldiers of the 'resistance'. Their political enablers will continue to enable them until they become a liability then down the memory hole they'll go. Remember Code Pink? As far as the NFL goes, they're obviously just smart enough to have survived the national anthem controversy, but still don't seem to have absorbed the lesson of Get Woke Go Broke. Enough of that though, i look forward to another awful halftime show. It'll be the only thing everyone in the room agrees on!
