It's a shame "Like a Farmer" isn't a weird al song about Josh Allen based off Madonna's like a virgin

 

"Ploughed for the very first time"

Neat card trick Josh does about 40 minutes in. He claims to be quite the pick pocket too.  Skills like that need to be applied to some Patriots style shenanigans.

 

Maybe he can hide the ball under his shirt like a Globetrotter.

It's very interesting that he brought up farming... I watched this video last month, and it explains in great detail why Wyoming is much less populated than Colorado, and also why there is a lot less land for farms (I know Josh is from California, FYI). Just informational... I love these sort of historical videos.

 

 

Has anyone ever hinted that you just might be a nerd? :D

I was just curious... the Dust Bowl devastated the area where my grandfather was from, and so I get why the Dakotas emptied, but Wyoming be so much less populated had me curious... couldn't resist looking into it.

Having lived in both states for almost equal times of my life, while logical sounding I don’t buy half the explanation. WY has much more harsh climate, the big industries have been hammered by Gov. regulation and the people generally don’t want progressive change (going off friends and family opinion from across the state). CO on the other hand is in the process of pimping out state lands and becoming CA East. 
Both have beautiful country, wildlife but aside from western slope CO, a vast difference of life style. 

 

Sorry, but this "governmental regulation" and "lifestyle" doesn't wash... the changes in population by decade proves that Wyoming has factors which stunted its growth like the ones they talked about on the video:

 

Wyoming vs. Colorado by decade, 1900-1950 (rounded up)

1900 93,000 to 540,000

1910 146,000 to 800,000

1920 194,000 to 940,000

1930 206,000 to 1,036,000

1940 251,000 to 1,124,000

1950 290,000 to 1,325,000

 

So basically the population of Wyoming increased by just under 200,000 in 50 years while Colorado increased by 785,000 in 50 years. I sincerely doubt either one of those issues factored much into the changes in population between 1900 and 1950 at all.

He had quite a winning streak on the coin toss when he was calling it.  Maybe he subbed a loaded coin.

This a Bills forums. We don't like reason and facts here. Get out.

Having lived in both states, one of which relies on tourism and winter sports for the major $$$ makers, Breckinridge, Blackhawk, Central City, a major hub of an airport I can assure you much of that population is not year round. The other as I stated relied on oil, gas and coal every bit as much as agriculture.  Your don’t wash, don’t wash. I never said WY was going to be a metropolis, or need growth. Just said the video don’t really tell the story. Also there are reasons counties in CO want to be annexed, much like counties in OR want to be part of Idaho. No need to dive into politics on a football forum. Think what you want, or go visit
