Eleven Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Yeah his Twitter feed is unbearable. 'If you took a sheet of paper and laid it end to end across the equator, then how did Trump win the election without Russian interference?' The sheet of paper is going to get wet and too soggy and it's just not going to work out. But yes, there was Russian interference. There also are a lot of people who get off on hate. 2 x 2 = 4, and he won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I have, and it's made me hate a man I used to truly admire and enjoy listening to. He has no bloody idea how politics and political behavior work, yet pontificates anyway. He's brilliant, and should be smart enough to know saying "I don't know" is okay. And I mean that and this with all the respect in the world because he is the only one close to being what is a vital position in pop-culture in my opinion. I'm hard on the guy because we need him badly and he has all the potential in the world as somebody to keep American passion and basic understanding of current science alive.

I'm hard on the guy because we need him badly and he has all the potential in the world as somebody to keep American passion and basic understanding of current science alive. Right? I once listened to him passionately advocate for the value of manned space flight, Mars, and hot damn if I wasn't inspired to pony up the bucks for it. I loved his narration on Cosmos. So much potential to be a voice for science, and achievement and aiming for new learning...and he chooses to make a moron of himself on Twitter.

That Aud Smell Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Athletes, like actors/actresses, and anyone I meet down at the bar, are not going to teach me anything worthwhile, and it's all about me, you see They're dumb because they distract my meme suppliers. Preach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Well, that was a fun morning read. I've gotten to the point where I realize that this whole topic actually fits perfectly here. A topic that just makes everyone angry is exactly why this board and TSW were created. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was probably leaving anyway? It'd be ... it'd be funking stooopid if he legit chose to leave strictly because the Bills chose Allen and he'd said he'd quit if that came to pass with Mayfield or Rosen still on the board. There's gotta be more at play. The most likely factor being that he was strongly considering a move anyway, for whatever reason(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I think he's just playing out the string on the joke and him deciding to leave is completely separate from his statement regarding Allen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Can we PLLLEEEEEEAAAAAAASE get these political football threads merged into one single thread? It is EXTREMELY confusing to figure out where to put posts regarding whether or not particular Bills are joining the midfield prayer circle after the game & whether anyone from the other team joins the circle & who is tweeting about it. (Get it, political football, double entendre, pretty slick, eh?) :p Sorry. Will slink away now until there is actually something newsworthy coming out of OBD. :beer: (Mods: please feel free to delete this sad attempt at humor.)

Samson's Flow Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Getting back to the Bills - I find it interesting that this year seems really quiet in terms of OTA news compared to past years. I would have expected with the rookie franchise QB in tow now we would have a media frenzy dissecting his every move. Maybe it is the changing of the guard from prior front offices (or the departure of Brandon?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have expected with the rookie franchise QB in tow now we would have a media frenzy dissecting his every move. Maybe it is the changing of the guard from prior front offices (or the departure of Brandon?) This is a really good point. A really good one. And I'm gonna say: Brandon not being around seems like the most logical reason that there's less ... OTA scuttlebutt out there. I did catch something on the Twitter about how Josh Allen is totally wow'ing everyone with his attitude, preparation, etc. It was published by Upstate News or something, and it turned out to be a report on something Chris Simms (?) said on a podcast. Simms, IIRC, is one of Allen's mentors/personal coaches, so, the guy's biased (he admitted as much) and, as a result, the report didn't mean much to me.

shrader Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 I feel like the same can be said about any of the 1st round QBs. I don't pay too close attention but I usually have a decent feel for what is being discussed. This year I can't say that I've heard them mentioned much, or at all. I wouldn't expect too much about Lamar Jackson due to the gap between the draft picks, but the others I definitely would have expected more chatter.
