Hartnett is another good mystery. As for Tom Sizemore, I only know that he's had significant substance abuse issues. I recall they led to his tv series Robbery/Homicide being cancelled prematurely.

My two candidates: The Dixie Chicks: Heard one of their more famous songs in a restaurant the other night. They have completely disappeared. What happened? Did their protest of the Iraq War really kill their careers? Elisabeth Shue: Saw the Saint was on television the other night. The 1997 film had Val Kilmer in it and she was probably at the height of her fame in the late 90s but I haven't seen her in anything in probably 20 years.

I'm intrigued the Pegulas have made money conducting business this way. They appear to get emotionally invested in people quickly and it's not something you traditionally see from business owners.

I support the Bills decision to decline that option. IMO, that foot issue will be a chronic issue that will always get tweaked by the rigors of playing professional football. He'll get a month, maybe two until it's damaged and/or incredibly painful. Maybe things work out, and that'll be great for the Bills and SW.

I've been a fan of the Spurs since the late 80s and last night was the worst game they've ever played. Ever. The figured out the Thunder so I'm hoping they figure out the Rockets. Unfortunately for the Spurs, Aldridge is officially a shell of his former self. He's playing not to get hurt. I understand where that's coming from but in combination with Danny Green's 3-pt. touch gone too, it's all ISO Leonard and that's not enough.

I voted for Peterman not as a Bills fan but I watched the entirety of his Gruden QB Camp and came away very impressed. I was stunned the Bills got to pick him. On the opposite end, I am not a Patrick Mahomes fan. I think he'll get frustrated having to learn to be an NFL QB and leave the Chiefs for the baseball career.

Like, but don't love it. Nervous about giving a rookie head coach who hasn't won a game so much power and influence so soon. That'll boom or bust with no middle ground. The Pegulas are a mess as owners. On the other hand, the team has some solid talent, sharp assistant head coaches and had a quality draft on paper.

First Class and DoFP were pretty good, arguably the best in the X-Men line with Logan in the conversation. Apocalypse was too quick and lazy all around - lazy writing, casting and acting. I think people, other than hardcore fans, are getting confused because First Class was an origin story and Logan felt like a conclusion.

They aren't even doing that - Sports Reporters ends next month.

All of these people got cut for a simple reason. They don't yell nearly enough. You don't see Stephen A. Smith unemployed do you? ESPN is doomed. I doubt it'll be around in 2022 to renegotiate the contract. Signs of irreversible decline are everywhere. Their website is even garbage.

I'm uneasy about the owners being, from appearances, all in on a rookie coach who hasn't won a single NFL game yet. Is it any different from being all in on the Rex Ryan phenomena? Perhaps a Whaley departure has nothing to do with the culture of personality that is obviously Sean McDermott, but if it does, wow, does it seem premature on ownership's part.

"Come out to the stadium, we'll get together, have a few laughs..." This really is sold with Terry Pegula in an air duct with a lighter, dressed as John McClane in Die Hard.

If anything, the signing of MG will show whether analytics is real or fake news. Based on all the articles I've read on their offer, Pats went after MG based on the recommendation from their stats department.

I'm not saying they won't eventually get there and make a decision. It's the process and the fact they do everything by committee that is the issue IMO. I also think he, she or they (depends!) hates firing people to the point he'd rather not do it despite overwhelming evidence that supports a change. If you were the owner, would you have waited so long to fire Ryan, knowing the shenanigans that were going on? I don't think he got fired for the record but all of the behind the scenes nonsense that later came out. If record was a real performance metric for a team that hasn't seen the playoffs in so long, Doug Whaley would have been fired already.

I don't think Terry Pegula is too strong of an owner. I think he's too weak of one. He is not a guy who comes across as the "buck stops here" sort who's confident in calling the shots and holding people accountable. He's no Robert Kraft. IMO, Pegula is not confident enough to decisively get rid of the institutional knowledge (Brandon, Overdorf, Berchtold), the clearly needs help (Whaley), the oafs that are stealing paychecks (Rex and Rob Ryan) or not having to consult with others who know just as much or less about football than he does (Kim). There are always rumors of "czars" and "football people" that have been consulted from Polian to Coughlin and he's never done a press conference by himself. I don't know if this MO has made him his millions and he's sticking to it or not. All I can say is it doesn't seem to be working for either of his sports teams.

McCoy is an expensive tire on your car that goes flat in a snowstorm: MG is your full-size replacement that's ready to go - inflated with lots of tread. Slap it on and you're on your way. Rookie running backs are your questionably viable donut spare tire that may or may not have air and may or may not have good tread since you've never seen it and haven't ever used it. That's why you keep MG.

He's not the worst. He's made average teams.

Doug Flutie and Rob Johnson TOGETHER. You want the streak broken - this must occur.

It wouldn't stun me to find out the Chinese blew up that rocket and have been the ones behind them often blowing up, veering off course, etc. If that rocket made it out of North Korean airspace, it'd be an invitation for a U.S. airstrike and/or missile strike. I recall reading somewhere, perhaps Jane's, that even if you take out the dictator the person, all that's left to take his place is elderly men in their 80s or the dictator's sycophants. He's executed EVERYONE else and there's no real "civil service" layer to keep things from a full on societal collapse.

I voted no. The team is playing for 2017 and you're asking a GM to get several higher picks right in this scenario versus one high pick. I'd rather the Bills focus on getting #10 spot on with a guy who helps this year. I'd feel different if they didn't resign Taylor, Alexander and Kyle Williams retired.

He's giving me the Clinton Presidency I didn't want at all - in some respects. You have a point on Gorsuch and the regulations.

Don't forget - NATO is now no longer obsolete. (It's irrelevant even on it's own continent.) Yeah, he's in trouble. I voted for him and I haven't liked anything he's done since his first couple of executive orders. You'd like to think that with a Republican Congress he'd get stuff done but that's naive. There isn't a bigger bunch of losers in America than Congress. Biggest bunch of bedwetters when it comes to anything but a holiday proclamation or naming obscure infrastructure after somebody.

I might be in the minority opinion here but I don't think the Bills will draft any QBs in the first four rounds. I think it's all deliberately visible posturing and misdirection.

I don't see a red flag. He was wise to avoid needless confrontation close to draft day. Anthony McFarland is entitled to his opinion but Myles Garrett isn't required to validate it.

I'm torn over his decision to take action. On one hand, chemical weapons use must be punished. On the other hand, nobody is going to win in Syria. It's Iraq - down to the Baath party and sectarian differences. Topple Assad and all you do is ferment a different kind of civil war. You can't destroy ISIS and Assad. It's an either/or proposition. The one's destruction makes the other stronger.
