Oh. Gosh. Yeah. Should have thrown in a "you betcha!" Maybe even a "dontcha know"

I will continue to hope for a sinkhole to swallow happy valley at kickoff during every single home game.

FSU - National Champs

@Eleven, I was just teasing LTS. Purely in jest. I honestly didn't expect anyone to want to touch this thread. I'm very pleased with our conversation as it grants me perspective as well. And you force me to read more to become better informed. I appreciate it. My young life and much of my education was entrusted to the Catholic Church. Catholic School, church every weekend, alter server as soon as I was old enough, Master of ceremonies after that. My priest actually gave me his Mustang to take to my Senior Prom. I left the church in '04. I was never abused, and never knew anyone who was. I've got my reasons, but it's a long story. Did you happen to see the story today about the Catholic orphanage in Burlington,VT? Bad stuff, man. Ancient history, but bad stuff.

Oh wow! Good for you dude. The sabres are trickier for me. I like hockey as a sport a lot more than football. I haven't paid to watch the sabres in 3 seasons, counting this coming one. I go to 1 game a year and watch about 20 games online for free. So, what a quarter of the season, and I only complete about half of those games. Meanwhile I'll watch over 100 baseball games a year and every tennis major.

2.5 years for me. Isn't it a trip. I love not having another day of the week ripped from me, forcing me into a downward spiral of rage and misery. I'm quite Zen-like now.

Ok, so I've been reading. Evidently Vigano is among those that disagree with Francis' stance on reaching out to gays in the church, and blames current church sexual abuse scandals on gays, according to the New York Times. Then goes on to claim that he told Francis personally of McCarrick in June of '13. So that'd be what, like a month into his papacy? So from that, I can come to 2 conclusions. Where there is smoke there is fire. Or, a Hail Mary from a conservative priest who has a problem with gays in the church and the guy who removed him from his last post and all of his friends (I guess a lot of the other names he named support Francis). Whatever it may be, I say time won't tell. Oh come on, this is an ultra civil conversation. What could go wrong?

1. Benedict was only Pope for like 15 minutes, had the Hitler youth thing, the Vatican Bank thing and some abuse scandals elsewhere to deal with though. All while being "too old for this s---" as he and church spokesmen said when he resigned. I admit, he was glossed over in the allegations of yesterday, but what do you think the agenda is against Francis? I'm asking honestly, as I obviously know nothing of Vigano until I read this yesterday. 2. I'm relatively new to Pennsylvania, amd I certainly don't attention church, but folks around here have been talking about a particular priest in the diocese for at least a decade and a half, if they're to be believed. "Oh we heard about him almost 20 years ago....he's the one that forced that girl to have an abortion and the archdiocese covered it up..." It comes up when there's a news story. It goes away a week later when there's a football game.

Of course. I admittedly skew towards the side of "they all covered everything up" but he's either slandering (libel?) everyone or he's telling the truth, right? I bet it goes away quickly, before we ever know. That will skew my opinion further.

Right you are, seminary students and priests. My second post was more of an aside...I tend to ramble sometimes. And right you are again on them just being allegations. But...the Catholic Church certainly hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt. Not for one second. None of them deserve it.

Hey, anybody remember when Rudy Giuliani said that the church needed a one strike and you're out policy on Priests who sexually assault people? Then Pope John Paul 2 and the Cardinals and bishops all said "well hey now, we can kick out a priest for diddling just one kid, that's crazy talk. Forgiveness is key. Forgive your neighbor who sinned against you not seven times, but as many as seventy times seven." Just like Jesus said to Peter, right guys? F--- these guys with a rusty jackhammer. F--- them so hard!

https://twitter.com/i/moments/1033706245696507904 This guy throws absolutely everyone under the bus as having known about Cardinal McCarrick's actions. Will this end up being a big deal? Doubt it. The Catholic Church still has all the money on Earth. This will go away. McCarrick was the first Cardinal to fully resign in 91 years, after accusations of sexual abuse. And the guy who is spilling the beans says that Benedict knew and Francis knew. And not only did the church do nothing, they appointed him to be Cardinal Archbishop in Washington(in 2000 before their reign(s) as Pope.

Ugh, that homer commentary! "Pominville knew! He knew!" He didn't even have the f---ing puck! And good on Tim Connolly for not even dumping the puck out before tacking Hjalmarsson.

Good lord, this would go viral in a heartbeat. Bills fan in non ironic blazer and slacks thrown through a table. Please don't do this.

I don't know why, but I laughed. It's like 4 area codes away. Might as well be across the country.

Pfffft! Dudes not even as good as Matt Donovan.

Another shining example of mental health.

"Gosh darn" it! I was at the 8-0 game too! The only good thing about that game was making fun of my friends ridiculously windburned face and passing out for the entire ride back from Cleveland.

The Sens assistant GM just up and quit. Hmmm, how crap is the situation in the nation's Capital?

Yes I recognize the joke. I find absurdist comedy to be hacky and annoying most of the time. Yes I realize it's Baker Mayfield. He's pretty recognizable.

I once threw someone out of my place of business for chewing gum like that. I made it 8 seconds into the video.

The last game I was at Derek Anderson went 2-17 for 23 yards and beat us. I don't think I'll ever go back.

All of his Twitter bio is problematic. "Look at me, I vote for the BBHOF, I'm special." "Oh hey, did I mention that I'm IN the BBHOF, again, I'm super important." What a tool.

That's because he's inferior.

4-0 start, after which he was on PTI with Wilbon and Kornheiser talking about him as a potential MVP candidate as well as the Bills as possible super bowl contenders.
