The Big Cat

The two minute drill was the best clock Managment we've seen in 10 years. Period. Marrone, Manuel, Hackett all deserve credit.

Jamie Blatnick is built like a Rhino.

That's your choice.

And that would have...?

...after a whopping 5 professional passes

What would have had him do on a play where the WR had to go parallel to bring it in?

True, but your focus, like mine and his, matters for zero. I agree with most others: better than the wing tip, no collar would be better.

Well, it is different. They're paying me because I paid. And again: I didn't leave the grocery store without paying. I paid them too.

Just to clarify: my friends PayPal'd me and I haven't withdrawn the funds. While that money sits in limbo, it's my friends being the most outspoken for me NOT to pay. They don't mind the hanging payment. Taking my friends money without the charge going through would be a !@#$ed up thing to do.

Then let's keep it that way, old timer.

And based on my activity on a Buffalo Bills message board, you know full-well that I have none.

I honestly don't know.

Bucknell. Close enough. All the time.

I accept that invitation.

My wife is honest to a fault (yes, that's a thing ). I give her grief about it all the time. A regretable choice of words, if ever there was one.

My wife, you mean? And yes. The majority of my flights are Chicago to Cleveland or Buffalo, so I still get them on the cheap, hence the freebies. But just as they made the transition, I was able to bank my "points" for a flight to Oakland that I wouldn't have otherwise been able to do once the change was made...whew.

In you're case, at least they're being proactive. /

But that's essentially what I do with my card. I know what my number is and I work to stay below it...and get free flights.

I could see that being the case for others. But using a card helps me monitor expenses within the framework of our budget. As such, I know what I'm spending, I know what I shouldn't spend and I don't spend irresponsibly. Now, if I have cash in my pocket, that **** disappears...FAST.

First off--OK to steal from big store is at best an implication, but more accurately a response to the inference that the store was a mom and pop shop and that makes not paying them much much worse. Secondly--the nexus of this thread was to determine what the timetable should be for the charge to clear, not to justify to myself or others not paying. Thirdly--It's not an argument of whether or not it's right to retain goods that were or weren't paid for, but how much intervening into the merchant's responsibilities I'm accountable for. When you say I should "pay up," the implication is that I'm not willing to, or looking for ways not to. That's misleading. More appropriate would be the demand that I pay up again, which I don't necessarily think I should. Now, if they called me and told me there was an issue and asked me to give them the number again, I would. I think I'd be justified in telling them to !@#$ off and figure it out, but I wouldn't. If they made steps to fix the problem, I'd help them along. I don't think it's my responsibility to initiate a solution to their problem I didn't create. Lastly--turned 29 a couple weeks ago. I'm the youngest of my friends (29-32), all of whom say I shouldn't call.

I'm outta here...!! (runs for the door hollers over his shoulder: DUCK!)

Sorry, my disapproval for Stevie's antics has been widely chronicled/challenged.

The sanctimony here is practically unbearable.
