Bad decisions lead to good stories.

Ex Machina would be a good addition to your list. https://youtu.be/XYGzRB4Pnq8 It had a limited release last week and has been getting very good reviews. Supposedly it is planned to have a wide release next week.

Glad to see he tried it from the rubber. Decent toss considering that.

I'm not a fan for change just for the sake of change but if the kick is getting too boring for some I like this idea: Td = 6. 1 extra point awarded for crossing the endzone by pass or run from the 2 yard line ( just like a 2 point conversion now) and 1 point awarded for a defensive return. Option to go for 2 points instead of the 1 by kicking a 50 yard fg.

I guess I get what you're saying. The NCAA punishments, especially those affecting future students, didn't exactly make sense. Maybe the NCAA didn't need to get involved but PSU as an institution needed some kind of punishment for allowing something like that to happen. I don't think I posted or even read any of the PSU thread so I'm not sure who exactly is flip-flopping but I think probably everyone can agree that how the NCAA governs a lot of their rules and doles out their punishment rarely makes much sense at all.

It is a pretty big leap to find an association for hypocrisy in calling for a school to get stiff penalties for turning a blind eye to child molesting and suggesting a school got punished too severely for a student athlete not writing his own papers. Not exactly sure how anyone could not see the difference between the two.

Seems like the idea would be a whole lot cooler if you could text, email, and take calls on it without having to actually have an iPhone for it to work as well. The technology for a fully functioning smart phone on your wrist might be a ways off still but that would likely be the jump I would need to pick something like this up.

This could all very well be true but I think we should all wait until after FA and the draft before we pass judgement on Whaley's current plan of attack. This trade on it's own looks worse if it is the only move they make but if some more pieces fall into place over the next month or so it could end up looking a lot better.

Caught an old episode of walking dead over the weekend with a stupid joke that seems to fit with the rest of these: What is the difference between beer nuts and deer nuts? Beer nuts cost $1.79 while deer nuts are under a buck.

So does this mean from here on out all references to said cheating team must now go from Pats* to Pats**?

Anything that gets the crowd more involved in the game can't be a bad thing.

I spend some time today messing around with the espn playoff machine... http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/machine ...and it looks like winning out would more than likely get them in. Also with only one more loss there is still a decent chance they could make it in if a couple games went their way. Without trying ties there wasn't any scenario I could find where 9-7 would work so if they can win 1 out of the next 2 we can at least be going into the Raiders game thinking playoffs are still there to be had.

I except the D to be able to hang in there and compete for a while. Like others in this thread though I believe the game comes down to how many good drives can the O put together. No matter how good the D is playing they will eventually tire out if the Bills are going 3 and out multiple times in a row and against Denver's offense that could quickly lead to a blow out.

It's hard to compare because the NFL wasn't nearly as popular back then and there wasn't anything even close to the kind of media coverage football gets these days. Back then when it wasn't football season you barely heard anything about the Bills other than around draft time. When the Bills finally do climb back into the NFL limelight it definitely will be interesting to see how or if the Bills fan landscape changes from what we know it as now.

I watched the episode a second time yesterday and I was kind of thinking the same thing. If she could have picked up the rifle she used to launch it out of and kind of aim it I would have felt a little better about it. I remember doing stuff like that as a kid with bottle rockets and toy guns and we were accurate enough to get a rocket to pass through that stream of gas like she did, though at probably half the distance. But like you said suspension of disbelief is a big part of the show. I was just happy to finally see some burning zombies walking around. Any zombie movie or show is incomplete without that.

I would guess they would have been well equipped to handle most big herds of zombies but they had a couple things working against them this time around. First off the guy Carol and Tyrese grabbed and eventually killed was supposed to set off a bunch of fireworks that would have distracted the zombie group and got them headed in a different direction. It looked like a strategy they had employed in the past. Second and most importantly Carol blew a big a55 hole in their fence and main building on top of setting a bunch of stuff on fire. So with the major perimeter breach in zombie defenses, along with chaos caused by the fire and the good guys running around inside their fences capping people, it was more than the Terminus crew could handle when this herd wandered their way.

This is the correct answer.

Definitely wait a bit into the season to see how the Sabres are playing first as someone mentioned above. I went to the game on Thanksgiving eve last season and ended up getting two 75$ tickets for only 50$ total on stubhub a couple of weeks before.

I doubt the Ram's felt like it was cheap when they were winning the Super Bowl with a grocery stock boy.

Not as of this season. Look at the map again. It is for fox.

For all the viewers in the Syracuse area... notice anything odd about this week? In the ten years I have been out in this area any time that the Bills were on fox and played in the same time slot as the Giants it would be the Giants game who won out and got the broadcast. I'm curious as to what might have changed this trend. Only thing I can think is a new agreement with Fox in Syracuse based on the way the networks flex games between each other regardless of conference this season.

For all the Syracuse area Time Warner customers who saw this issue week 1 and week 2 was it fixed for the Chargers game? I was at the game Sunday and am wondering if I am looking at watching the bills in standard def again this week.

Definitely not. Checked CBS on all three TVs with the same result and CBS was the only channel where HD wasn't working. Plus once the Jets game started at 4:25 the HD was working without touching anything not to mention the multiple complaints on TW's help twitter feed from people in the Syracuse issue having the same problem. Making absolute statements like that when you don't have all the facts is kind of amateur hour when problem solving.

I live in a suburb or Syracuse and I had the same issue yesterday and last Sunday. I have a second TV going for the other game usually and having to see the difference between the giants on fox and the bills on cbs was torture. I got onto TW's help twitter account and found some other people in the Syracuse area with the same issue so somehow TW is messing up the CBS feed when they pipe it out to their customers because everyone else I know around here using Fios or Dish had no issues.

Anyone watching on time warner in Syracuse? CBS seems to be having issues with their hd feed again.
