May Day 10

Just more wireless, faster wireless, and more cloud-based stuff, while electronics continue to be miniturized.

The ones around me werent bad. Before the game, there was a woman filming herself giving everyone the middle finger in a 360 circle. I thought it was strange and when she got to me, I gave her the 'tone it down' gesture. She laughed. I said we are a fairly friendly section, I have nothing against anyone for their choice of football team... but on the other hand, I don't need to be flipped off for no reason. She was cool about it and I didnt notice her the rest of the game.

Mayfield is very immature. Too emotional, and a QB should not be that external with it. He could grow out of it. We will see. Lots of ability there. Im rooting for them to lose to the Broncos though. The thing could fly off the tracks right on time for the Bills' game.

Lots of people tune into WGR. It probably doesnt match angry zombie radio 930, but they have what they have. Im curious to know how much is due to a 'captive' audience. I dont mind Schopp and appreciate his 'thoughtful approach' most of the time, although when he misses the mark with it, he misses bad. Schopp demands evidence, past performance, and facts for the most part. This is to a flaw sometimes because he puts zero stock in 'intangibles' like culture, development, tools, momentum, etc. The callers are also cringe-worthy, and with Schopp it is amplified because almost none come armed with any factual evidence to support their viewpoints. I dont think Bulldog brings anything to the table. I like the morning show as well... But overall, WGR is so stale, especially the afternoon show. I find the late night show with whatever entry level guys they have to be refreshing, as is the weekend shows. I also stumble on the Tim Graham show and Sullivan's show on 1270 sometimes and it is nice hearing a different format, different outlook, interviews, guests, etc. No callers (because not a lot of people listen) is also nice. I liked Bull's show on 1270 when it existed, although at the end he got a little hacky with his "wild jock" schtick. The Instigators went from being the worst thing ever with Sylvester and Peters to great in present day

Schopp produces very strong reactions and discussion like no other in our market. That means he is masterfully doing his job.

I agree that it will likely last a season, maybe even 2 I dont think anyone is going to watch it or care. Teams are placed in big markets where itll just get swallowed up and nobody will buy tickets. It feels like McMahon wanted to start this to capitalize on the "anti" NFL crowd who pretended they would never watch the NFL again because Colin Kaepernick was mean. Since then, everyone, predictably, got over it and continues to follow the NFL. There is just no market for another league not 'sanctioned' by the NFL.

is there really actual talk about Kansas City building a new indoor stadium for their franchise quarterback? lol edit: Just googled around and couldnt find one grain of sand of truth to this.

My personal preference is outdoor. Aesthetically, the elements, time of day, etc add a dimension to the game that is sorely missing from Detroit Lions' games. All those games look the same other than opponent. Boring. I trust in all the analysis done by and for the Pegulas to pick out what is right and what they want. Its their money. There are definitely virtues with an indoor facility. I understand it. Either way. No, they arent going to bring a Superbowl to Buffalo

XFL is a joke. So is Brown. They can have their "fight"

The patriots didnt have a dome sunday, had worse conditions, and won easily

Reminds me of those old maury povich shows, where he would have the hisband in the green room and tempt him with some hot chick throwing themself at him. Great entertainment

These are decent local business owners who got in a little over their heads in a situation and made a stupid mistake. They aren't trying to discriminate against law enforcement as a whole or anything. This is a great, upstart, local company who employs (100?)-plus people. One fairly harmless mis-step that is really easy to not take offense to, and a very vocal minority of people in WNY want to pull the business beneath their ears. The comments in the facebook threads on WBEN and WIVB and such are cringe-worthy with people who "cant wait to see them in the unemployment line". One side likes to call the other "snowflakes", but man. Everyone needs some thicker skin on some of this stuff. Anyone complaining they were serving ICE needs to chill out too. Such a ridiculous complaint.

Who are the "outrage nutjobs" though? It is hard to tell

It depends on where you live/what direction you would like to leave. I usually leave when the game's result is pretty much a done deal. Yesterday when it was 27-13 and the Eagles got to the 5. I hustle out. Brisk walk to the car and am able to leave unmolested

Yeah, most likely they will get a top billing bowl, maybe against an LSU/Georgia/Florida. Maybe Penn State if they dont make it? Maybe a Pac12 champ Oregon? I do think that there may be 2 losses packed in the remainder of their schedule, in which may drop them from that 'tier' and they may end up dropping a tier in bowls. But its Notre Dame so they will beat Stanford last game of the season and magically land in the top 10.

If you "win", you are likely getting sued, arrested, etc. Maybe someone holds a deep grudge against you If you "lose", you are likely getting arrested, hospital visit, disfigurement, killed, etc There is a small zone in the middle where you win the fight, get a trophy, your "opponent" is dazed while his friends check on him, and you walk away with the girl and a cheering crowd. But usually, that doesnt happen.

The only way he doesnt is if he voluntarily leaves.

They are toast for the Tournament, barring a complete destruction of like 6 of the top teams.

The answer to the question is 23. However, im not sure about present day. The presence of supercomputers with high def video cameras everyone's pocket makes me want to say 18. Definitely not when you have assets

The outrage is on all sides though and just creates a meaningless and pointless din. All around a couple of guys who just want to sell tacos and grow their business. Then, within a week or two everyone will forget about it and move to the next thing.

This is the most ludicrous "contraversy" ever. Anyone who cares about this (on both sides) needs to step back and re-calibrate their outlook on what happens in the outside world and how it affects them.

Seasons getting interesting.

I have been saying this should be done for the NHL. do a 3 year rolling average, but place restrictions on how many times a team can pick 1st, 2nd, or 3rd

I think it is fine. Tanking in the NFL isnt an issue IMO. How often is there really a clear cut #1 "franchise changer"? It isn't like the NHL (or NBA) where you can nab a franchise cornerstone at #1 many years. To dig as deep as the Dolphins did in order to get a #1 overall is extremely risky and counter-productive. There are 53 spots to fill. I think the Bills and McDermott hit a great balance between clearing the cap, amassing assets, yet still competing.

starting to suspect someone fed Schefter this "info" with instructions to make it public. Whether its Brady, Kraft, or Belichick, not sure.... most likely Brady negotiating. Brady's non-forceful "denial" makes me skeptical.
