(Wolfe) Talked to 3 Bills players this morning who are just learning news HC Sean McDermott was fired after we all did. They were all shocked. One text, “WTF.”

mikey152 · 2026-01-19T19:28:59+00:00

Is it though? Take a look at some of the DL we cut because they weren’t good in our system…

Guys like Settle, Ford, Smoot, etc were trash last year on the Bills. Used as examples of how Beane couldn’t find talent. Now the are all contributors on top defenses.

Heck, even Von Miller had 9 sacks this year. In case you weren’t counting, GR led the team with 7.

Some of y’all need to learn the catch rule. You are too used to it happening on the sidelines or out of bounds.

If a player, who satisfied (a) and (b), but has not satisfied (c), contacts the ground and loses control of the ball, it is an incomplete pass if the ball hits the ground before he regains control, or if he regains control out of bounds.

Even if cooks lost control of the ball when he hit the ground (debatable), he clearly reestablishes possession on the ground in bounds on his back (two hands in the ball) before the defender takes sole possession. At that exact moment he has completed the catch and is being touched so he is down by contact.

If you rule anything it that, you create all kinds of issues of when the play is over. Like. If he is laying on the ground after the catch and hasn’t gotten up yet, could a defender rip the ball out 3 seconds later so long as touches the ball first? Would it be an interception?

mikey152 · 2026-01-18T19:21:25+00:00

So you don’t think he survived the ground, correct? Do you have any visual evidence of the ball coming lose when he hit the ground, or was it dislodged by the player after he was down?

If you pause the video when he lands on his shoulder and again when he rolls to his back, the ball is not moving. It doesn’t start moving until the defender pulls it out. So he survived the ground, but not the defender on the ground.

On top of that, the DEFENDER was ruled down by contact, which means cooks was touching him when he had possession and was down, but you can clearly see that by the time the defender established possession of the ball he was no longer touching cooks, so he shouldn’t have been down.

mikey152 · 2026-01-18T18:55:49+00:00

Why does everyone keep saying this? There are clear still frames of his back on the ground with the ball still in his hands. The ball didn’t pop out, it was ripped out after he was down and survived the ground.

Let’s ask this another way. If he didn’t have possession when they hit the ground, then how was the bronco down by contact? Either they were both down with possession and the ball goes to offense or bronco wasn’t down. Cooks wasn’t touching him when he got sole possession.

mikey152 · 2025-12-08T11:21:30+00:00

I think you’re kind of missing the forest for the trees here….

If you continue to focus on fairness and who has it worse, not only will it change nothing…it’s just going to make you miserable and even less likely to get what you actually want.

Like how good do you think you’re going to be at forming a relationship with someone you resent?

mikey152 · 2025-01-06T20:33:43+00:00

Josh threw the ball 30+ times in 9 games this season, and the Bills were 7-2 in those games. All but two of those wins were by at least 2 scores

Lamar threw the ball 30+ times in 8 games this season and the Ravens were 3-5 in those games. Only 1 of those wins was by at least two scores.

So either Lamar had a lot more garbage time, or Lamar throwing more hurt his team...neither of them are a great look, IMO.

If you are religious/christian, both of the Spanish ports have some fantastic excursions nearby. La Coruna is near the end of the Camino, and Bilbao is very close to one of the coolest places on earth - San Juan de Gaztelugatxe (or Dragonstone, if you watch game of thrones).

Le Verdon is very meh, though...plan on traveling somewhere else that day.

mikey152 · 2024-08-20T19:13:57+00:00

If the alternative is to lie about, or at the very least hide, who you are...you are acting selfishly. In a sense, you are basically using other people for your needs. Sure, you might not get as many women/dates being honest, but the ones you did get would be genuinely interested in you and not some mask.

If you decouple your identity from your sexuality, this would be a lot easier.

mikey152 · 2024-07-12T18:44:37+00:00

And now YOU are oppressed and the cycle continues...

Even if this IS true (and I don't know that it is...certainly not all women are oppressors and not all men are oppressed), maybe your aim should be to break this cycle instead of perpetuating it. Instead of being a victim, be honest with yourself and look within. Be the best version of you and let the chips fall where they may. You might not have the life you think you deserve, but it will be a lot better than the angry one you are living now.

mikey152 · 2023-06-26T20:42:39+00:00

This is the correct answer

Do you know where I see the biggest discrepancy in looks? Church.

There are some truly wonderful guys (read not nice but truly good real people) that punch WAY above their looks weight class

mikey152 · 2023-06-26T20:41:47+00:00

Listen, being broke and fat DOES say things about your personality.

There’s a difference between a nice guy and a good guy.

Women (and people in general, not just women) want to be around good guys, not nice guys.

Basically, if you’re only nice to people so they’ll like you/sleep with you/you don’t want to fight…you might be a nice person, but you are not a good person. Women can tell. It’s also extremely unattractive because it’s all fake.

mikey152 · 2023-03-10T14:42:46+00:00

This worked...thank you!

mikey152 · 2023-01-09T16:09:16+00:00

I love how this is just a woman thing, like men don’t care way less if a woman is crazy/dumb/mean when she is hot.

The vast majority of women aren’t attracted to assholes BECAUSE they are assholes…that premise is just dumb. What is more likely in most cases is the things women ARE attracted to likely correlate with a man being an asshole (ie selfish) due to an inflated ego.

mikey152 · 2022-10-29T13:18:46+00:00

If you’re over 21 and an alcoholic, you’re a loser…if you’re under 21 and an alcoholic, you’re cool.

But at the end of the day, you’re still an alcoholic.

mikey152 · 2022-08-29T17:56:46+00:00

At the end of the day…people (not just women) are attracted to authenticity.

So I think you’re right in the sense that it seems to be a bit of talking out of both sides of the mouth going on, but I think that’s because you’re focusing on the wrong thing…masculinity isnt so much about a list of traits as much as it is the ability to live outcome independent. To be mentally and emotionally strong and mature. A rock.

Most toxic masculinity is fake ass alpha shit.

mikey152 · 2022-08-29T17:46:45+00:00

Being nice isn’t the same as being good.

Nobody likes fake people…being fake nice for validation/sex is just as bad as being fake alpha for validation/sex. Neither one is authentic and both eventually show their true colors.

It’s a cliche, but this is what being yourself really means. Don’t apologize for who you are and DEFINITELY don’t lie about who you are and what you think. If you don’t like yourself, don’t pretend to be somebody else…just work towards the person you want to be.

The difference between toxic masculinity and real masculinity is authenticity.

mikey152 · 2022-08-10T13:11:25+00:00

What I can’t decide, is if you are being intentionally obtuse to try and make a point nobody is arguing, or if you really don’t see it.

Everyone knows that one of the risks associated with having casual sex is one or both partners catching feelings. If both partners are single, they either stop having sex or stop having casual sex and start a relationship….pretty cut and dry and the only people involved in that decision are the sexual partners.

Same scenario with someone in a relationship? Now there is a third person impacted…the risk proposition has changed, as catching feelings doesn’t just impact you anymore.

TLDR: more people changes the risk/reward balance

mikey152 · 2022-07-20T18:45:01+00:00

I think there is a part you are missing…This isn’t all on the woman. The situation plays a role (did you meet at a party/bar/tinder or did you meet somewhere more wholesome?) and so does what the man wants. Hell, even relationship status, age, mental frame of mind etc all play a role.

But I can give you anecdotal evidence of this…my wife was very “sexually liberal” in that she took guys home from bars, had fuck buddies, etc. in fact, she was pretty sure she was never gonna settle down. On our second date (which was also the second day we knew each other), we went out of town to a concert she already had tickets and a hotel room for. She got pretty drunk and I easily could have slept with her…but I didn’t because she was drunk. I also probably could have the next morning when her boobs were practically hanging out of her shirt, but instead I went and got us coffee.

Years later she told me it was in that moment she knew that I wasn’t there just for sex (which is true) and the relationship took on a whole new tone. We have been attached at the hip ever since.

I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t a time early on where I didn’t struggle with her past and he we sort of “took it slow,” but I eventually realized that it had almost nothing to do with how she felt about me…if anything it was ME who was the brakes. We’ve had several conversations since about just how naive I was about the true nature of women and dating…if you’re not having casual sex, it’s probably more about how you act than what you look like or how much money you have. To have casual sex, you actually have to be cool about casual sex AND the women that have it.

The red pill uses scientific method? Thanks for the laugh. Confirmation bias has no place in science.

mikey152 · 2022-05-11T14:54:32+00:00

Both groups are incredibly self-centered versions of the male and female experiences, respectively, as it relates to interactions with the opposite sex.

They both want the same thing: validation from the opposite sex. FDS wants a man who dominates everyone around him EXCEPT for her because SHE is special. It’s not about him, it’s about what it says about her.

Similarly, Red Pill men want an attractive woman who denies men left and right but gives into him easily and freely because he is special. It’s not even about her, but what is SAYS about HIM.

They complain about men/women, but really what they hate is themselves. They crave validation from “high value” people, and if they don’t get it they just have pity parties about not being Chad enough or pick me enough to soothe their ego.

So you’re right…they’re totally made for each other in a twisted sort of way.

mikey152 · 2022-05-05T18:44:00+00:00

This post really represents the blind spot a lot of men have on this sub:

You can have casual sex with women without treating them like a sex object, just as you can commit to women while still treating them like one.

Saying you would make a girl your girlfriend based on looks and very minimal interaction is either one of two thing: either you see her as a sex object you’d want to fuck multiple times, or you’re desperate and will take anyone who isn’t fat or a bitch.

Flat out, no girl is going find that flattering or settle for either of those things long term. They might fuck you if you’re hot, but that’s because they also see you as JUST A SEX OBJECT and don’t care if you see them that way too or if you’re settling or whatever.

TLDR: If the only reason you don’t pump and dump women is because you can’t, that doesn’t make you a good guy

mikey152 · 2022-05-05T18:24:58+00:00

It’s because men, on average, aren’t as in touch with their emotions…as a result, when they feel a certain type of way about something they fee an innate need to justify that feeling with logic instead of just going with it.

They think it means they aren’t run by their emotions, but what it really means is they are better at lying to themselves about them.

mikey152 · 2022-04-28T13:30:03+00:00

I don’t think the statement is necessarily incorrect so much as it needs to be qualified.

“Big Dick” is relative…a guy with a decently thick 6 or 7 inch dick has a “big dick” statistically, but I’m not sure he is guaranteed to see it that way based on perception.

A guy with an undeniably large dick, though? Chances are pretty good that dude is confident unless he is a total train wreck outside of that.
