My impression from DD is either Leroi was the guy let go or the inside source feeding info out. He said "Leroi is back" but has never claimed to be Leroi. It also sounds like Cousin's tie to WNY would be his relationship to Dennison.

Saw TLJ last night. Fun movie with some great sequences, but overall not a fan. They crammed too much into one movie and sacrificed some interesting storylines because of it. The thing that irritated me most was just the hubris of this movie. Just forcing witty banter at every possible opportunity made the movie very cheesy in spots for me. Opening scene "can you hear me now" spoof was just stupid and ruined any sense of struggle and gravitas. Let alone the concept of Zeppelin bombers in outer space. Kylo Ren and his lame red-headed step-brother gave the movie more of a bumbling Coyote vs road runner tone than that of an evil, ruthless empire. I like all the Rebellion characters but they and their relationships weren't really developed. I think Kylo was horribly miscast, just lame to me. There's also the disnification factor, where evil has a soft side and is human too. And things are serious but we can still pause and share a bunch of lame humor. Not going to go in to specifics to spoil things and definitely some cool parts to the movie but overall disappointed. Couldn't buy into the "struggle".

I bet his brain biopsy, right now, would not show the same tau protein spectrum all the other brains have shown. How the hell do either of us know? The guy's 61! Much science still needs to be done. 1 million kids a year play HS football and 73k a year play college. That we know. I fit into those numbers. If I end up with dementia at some point it won't be from CTE. That I am confident of. Did it ever occur to you that the players not suffering from CTE aren't going to step forward and tell their story because they don't want to minimize research and accountability of the NFL? He's 61! We all have stage 1 CTE then, got it. Brilliant. I have little doubt Larry Johnson has CTE, assuming he's being truthful. But read his story. Remembers playing through his first concussion as a kid. That standard is changing. What will it mean for CTE occurrence? But OMG! Everyone who plays football must have it! CTE is a real disorder and problem, not just for football players and certainly not every player. We need science, not panic whores.

Jim worked at a biotech company I joined in Cleveland. 7 years NFL linebacker. MD, JD. Bright, nice guy, needless to say. 61 years old and still successful. Does he have CTE? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Kovach

Can't stand the store-made stuff, homemade is as creamy good as it gets though!

At this point, I'm hoping that happens and the NFL takes the franchise away from him. Sadly, it's probably the best long term scenario for improving the team.

They stockpiled a ton of picks and set themselves up for this past year and next year's draft. Of course, that assumes they pick solid talent. And Haslam doesn't muck things up too much. But there's been a lot of talk of another front office shake up though. What a mess. The plan was good, how they execute it is obviously the endgame though.

I live here in Cleveland and yours is a truly ignorant statement. Fans thought it couldn't get worse then Randy Lerner and it seems they were wrong. Seems like the upper management has a good plan in place but it's going to blow up anyways. I truly feel bad for these fans, very depressing.

"The Giants are 2-9 and currently have 19 players on injured reserve. " "Injuries have also hit the offensive line, where the Giants have started eight different combinations, second in the NFL behind Green Bay’s nine. Center Weston Richburg’s season ended after four games, and right guard D.J. Fluker was placed on I.R. yesterday. Ereck Flowers and John Jerry are the only two linemen to start every game, and, Flowers is the only one to start every game at the same position." That is an insane amount of injuries. I can understand not wanting to risk Manning to more wear and tear but most competitive players don't look at it like that. I get what McAdoo is thinking but if you truly want to evaluate your talent, either experienced QB with new OL or experienced OL with new QB. Injury has eliminated the experienced OL.

Which guru is that? The tau study was an imaging study, it may have some use in discerning neurodegenerative disorders such as alzheimer's, dementia, CTE. Not sure if it will be specific enough (maybe by it's patterning) to differentiate the disorder but it should be able to conclude there's a problem. There's just a lot of work to do with specificity and if it's capable of early detectability.

He may be a quack but he's right on with this article. First off, let's be clear there is no blood test. BU's Dr. Ann Mckee found CCL11 markers in sampled CSF from deceased subjects. It more confirms that there is a uniqueness to CTE as compared to alzheimer's and control patients. The Chicago imaging study has its flaws. They imaged tau, which is hardly a unique brain protein. They admit at the end of the paper the scans don't correlate well with the severity of the disease, and several of the authors own the rights to the imaging agent and belong to a for-profit company involving the agent. Both are useful studies but there is a long way to go.

Venison's great stuff. I heard the gameyness is due to lactic acid and certain hormones built up in the muscle. So a buck during the rut is bound to be gamey, or a deer that isn't quickly killed. Diet is also important as I've had some corn fed deer here in Ohio that barely taste like venison. Venison definitley has it's unique flavor that makes it kind of a love/hate thing. Favorite recipe is a red wine marinade for ka-bobs.

My most burning mistake post-nuclear wings was failing to wash my hands before going to the bathroom.

That's my problem. They really are not. Obviously the same theories came up back then and they were addressed or simply monitored. There's really no credible confirmations there, can't say I want to waste time digging further at this point.

I'm sorry, based on these documents, your conclusions seem even more pathetic. The first one (32144493) is a report about a talk given by Oren Fenton Potito. The 2 shooter material is all said by Potito, who, based on some research, is a bit of a far-right conspiracy nut. It confirms nothing, just reports what Potito discussed. The second document (32113033) is a deposition of David Belin, who appears to deny CIA involvement in various matters. Helms is questioning whether Oswald is affiliated to the CIA in any way and I don't see an answer by Belin. It is neither a confirmation or denial. What am I missing? I know you are reading all this on the fly, but perhaps if you're going to select certain documents to state your case, you could actually make sure they definitively back up what you're trying to state as fact because, to me, they don't at all. You're losing legitimacy.

Wow. You are impressive with ignoring the remainder of the details of the letter. How about at the very top of that page 3 where Hoover wishes the Dallas police would stop revealing all their info on the case? "They (Dallas police) did not really have a case against Oswald until we gave them our information. We traced the weapon, we identified the handwriting, we identified the fingerprints on the brown bag. (Start of next paragraph) We were able to identify the bullets as coming from that gun." Paragraph 4: "We have the bullets that were fired and will keep them" As to your "interesting nugget", it is clear to me Hoover is convinced Oswald killed the president but was concerned about Oswald contacting the Cuban embassy in Mexico about his wife's visa and his letter to the Soviet Embassy were not central to the assassination but would create a huge international mess if those details were revealed and tied to the case. Hoover preferred the Attorney General investigate and present the report against Oswald rather than the Warren Commission so that these sensitive, unrelated details would be protected. His concerns actually validate the Warren Commission as legit to me. The overall tone of this document implies the public had a lot of questions back then as to whether Oswald really killed the president acting alone, and Hoover felt they needed to be convinced without creating international tension with Cuba and the Soviet Union.

Ahhh, Ricky Bobby!

Went up and camped around Munising two summers ago. Pictured Rocks area is awesome, did a kayak tour and shipwreck tour. Chapel Rock beach was a 3 mile hike each way but so worth it. The sand is like brown sugar and Superior is just an amazing cobalt color. Great pictures of the areas we went here: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jensenl/visuals/album/2005/mich/ Need to go back because we never got out by the Porcupines or East to Whitefish point. It's about 9.5 hours from Cleveland, but always worth the long drive.

That indirect free kick was genius. I just wish Klinsmann would have coached better defense. That was the one part of his teams that drove me nuts. I'm hoping we'll go European for our next coach.

No. They outplayed the Germans. Their goalie made some phenominal saves, and the ref missed a handball in the box that would have given us a PK.

USMNT 2002 was a good team. Beat Mexico and got unlucky against Germany 1-0 in the quarterfinals. We definitely outplayed the Germans overall. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/worldcup2002/hi/matches_wallchart/germany_v_usa/newsid_2049000/2049234.stm

I was envious of the plan, but wary of the execution. It is the Browns after all. At least they had a good plan this time.

EJ seemed like a hard working, fantastic guy when he was here. I don't hate him and wanted him to succeed. Watching him over time, beyond any coaching, I felt like he couldn't handle the mental rigors and decision making of being an NFL QB. I firmly believe that. One play he didn't recognize the blitz. Another he didn't recognize single coverage. Didn't recognize zone coverage. Another he didn't set his feet properly. It just seemed to rotate from one thing to another. So any opponent that game plans to mess with him, will find success. Last week was unplanned, we'll see what Baltimore does. I will happily eat crow if he proves me wrong.

All we have to do is show/throw a lot of defensive complexity and he will collapse like a cheap tent.

Playing the national anthem to honor a fallen soldier is very different (for some) than playing the national anthem to honor our country. I get that for you it is not. For others, they feel their reality of what this country is differs so much from the ideal that they respectfully kneel to call attention to it. Picture that and let it sink in for a minute.
