Pine Barrens Mafia Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Step 1 - cut a hole in a box... 2 Put that junk in the box
Mr. WEO Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Didn't the AIDS virus fire Magic as their spokesman years ago?
The Crowing Rooster Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 I cant wait for the start of training camp so we can start tailing some football because all these cracked pots are getting tiresome.
RussellDopeland Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 The Bills should instead embrace a cause that would be easy to relate to for their fans- like the soul-subduing scourge of Gout.
IslandBillsFan Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Hello All, ZIKA is not a worldwide crisis in need of awareness. It is a media creation. Here is my humble opinion from the U.S. capital of ZIKA, Puerto Rico. As of last week, there are about 1,100 cases of ZIKA in the continental U.S.. In U.S. territories (mostly PR) about 2,500 more cases are present. Most experts expect this virus to spread and grow. However, the concern is mostly media generated. In the continental U.S. I think there has been one confirmed death. Out of 5 people who have ZIKA, only 1 presents symptoms. These symptoms are minimal, similar to a cold or flu. The trouble with ZIKA is if a pregnant woman contracts it there is potential for microcephlany. Brazil and several other regions have a much higher concentration of the ZIKA virus however it still doesn't present a health "crisis." Compare ZIKA to almost any other disease and you will find many more cases of the disease and many more deaths. Malaria kills about a half a million people for years. However, we understand malaria and are not concerned with it. ZIKA is the new disease on the block and is generating all sorts of media attention. I think of ZIKA as the disease of the year, think SARS, Bird Flu, Mad Cow Disease, Ebola, West Nile etc. etc. Although ZIKA will grow and will cause problems you are still 5x more likely to get killed by a shark, 5x more likely to blow yourself up with fireworks, and 50,000x more likely to be killed in a car crash. P.S. I'll try not to contaminate Ralph Wilson stadium at the opener.

I nominate Ronnie Harmon.

RevWarRifleman Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 I Can Sleep......, you say you can be a LITTLE wordy? I thought I was reading War and Peace going through your post. Shorten it up. Cut to the chase & be more direct. Sorry man, I moved on during the second paragraph.
WotAGuy Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 what would be the ism exactly? Check the TBDism thread for my post. DC Tom also caught it
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted July 11, 2016 Author Posted July 11, 2016 ... are you suggesting we send one of our players down to South America to contract the Zika virus??? To the best of my knollege Magic never had a formal contract to be the spokesman for the AIDS virus - - he just saw a need and stepped up. I don't see why it should be any different for the zika virus, but I admit I'm not familiar with how the public health system works in Brazil.

Cut to the chase & be more direct. Sorry man, I moved on during the second paragraph. you kids and your short attention spans. chat / texting / twitter have ruined this great nation To the best of my knollege Magic never had a formal contract to be the spokesman for the AIDS virus - - he just saw a need and stepped up. I don't see why it should be any different for the zika virus, but I admit I'm not familiar with how the public health system works in Brazil. Magic was good kid and did the right thing. But he was not trying to shine or sparkle. He was becoming a humanitarian. lets not use averting a potential tragedy to polish an image/perception. That's kinda disgusting really. And self serving is not a method i approve of. I am glad you want the Bills to be a shining star. But lets let it happen naturally and honestly. Do not attempt to manipulate perception please.
Niagara Bill Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 let me understand this.....L.A. is famous because of Magic J and he has aids.....so by extension if he did not have aids nobody would know anything about L.A. and it would be no more famous than Souix Falls or Spokane?????
Webster Guy Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 ICanSleep.... you're exactly the kind of go-getter i've been looking for my EM-50 project. It's Rio baby, we zip in, we zip out. Its like goin into Wisconsin.....
IslandBillsFan Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Stay away from section 316 Zika-boy I will be in the 200's for the opener. But still looking at tickets for the Arizona game. 316 sounds nice.
Nanker Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 I hear ya ICSWID... dreaming of Sparkle. That made me think of this. Of course, if this is what your dreams are like, I can see why you want to hold off on sleeping.
