  1. I do the same exact thing. I haven't read 2061 - only time I've seen anything on the plot of that sequel are the attempts to turn it into a movie. It gets more difficult if they have to explain why Cher is there despite the warnings...
  2. I've never understood the act of rioting in your own town unless it's just a cover to steal stuff. Are apology letters sent the day after? "Sorry Steve. I'm sorry I stole your stuff and burnt your store down that I routinely shop at in my temporary outrage. I started feeling sorry after I got home last night after the riot and sat down and played some Xbox after my parents said goodnight." At least the militias show a little commitment and occupy things.
  3. Nothing good happens until the Bills stop trying to play football without cornerbacks on the field. It's hard to win with only 9 players on defense.
  4. There is life there. Roy Schneider said so. (That movie in retrospect was one of the better non-action films of the 80s.)
  5. The only person I'd negotiate with on that list is Samuel L. Jackson. Everyone else gets the Marvin K. Mooney treatment. Jon Stewart killed his career after leaving the Daily Show.
  6. I think he'll get the ACA overhaul because both sides of the aisle want it. I also think you'll see a significant rollback of ISIS worldwide. A big part of that will be backing off in Syria and letting Assad win that civil war.
  7. This on top of: The F-35 is hot, expensive garbage; We retired the warplanes that worked. The Abrams tanks, no matter the upgrades, look extremely vulnerable to Kornet missiles; The Russians just unveiled their fifth generation tank that has some technological innovation that would put nearly all NATO tanks at a disadvantage. Our front line attack helicopter is a 1970s design. We still depend heavily on B-52 bombers and A-10 close air support aircraft despite both designs being decades old.
  8. I hate how catchy "Easy Street" has turned out to be. The show has always been good at finding obscure music finds. I recall they found Wang Chung's "Space Junk" in Season 1.
  9. Depends on the standard. I think post free agency NFL is vastly different from NFL of yesteryear. The Bills were the last great team of the pre free agency NFL. Patriots are the most dominant team in the post free agency era. Runner up would be the St. Louis Rams in the Greatest Show on Turf years from 1999-2004.
  10. My opinion on these political polls is that the numbers are irrelevant but the message is not. If you're a Democrat, you want to paint a picture of inevitability but it's not safe. If you're a Republican, you don't want complacency. If your candidate is up 10 points, you'd have a lot of people out there saying "ehh, I don't really need to go vote." IMO, this race is close based on where the candidates are today. If Clinton really felt she had a four point lead, she's not in Pennsylvania TWICE today and in Michigan, a state that last went for the GOP in 1988.
  11. I remember that 2007 game because 1) the Bills ran out a unique defense for the first half of that game that really confused Romo and 2) RWS lost its mind when George Wilson had the INT.
  12. You might not want to be on her staff or her Secret Service detail but the Republicans are certainly coming for her. She's probably going to get two special prosecutors within the first year if she makes it and she isn't going to be able to stop that.
  13. The OP would make for one sympathetic manager or boss. IMO, any person who gets suspended twice and then shows up for work out of shape and then promptly gets injured not only deserves criticism. It'd be no different if you were a forklift driver - suspended twice for drinking - and then on your first day back after your company has given you two chances, show up tired and back into a rack of product and cause $1,000 worth of damage. I haven't wavered from my position that the Bills should try to trade him in the off-season because I see a person who will never *get* it. Let that grenade go off in someone else's yard.
  14. If she's elected President, her personal situation becomes far worse IMO. At least if she loses, she can still get the pardon, avoid jail, end the investigations, make money and fix her legacy. Bill Clinton has to be secretly hoping for a loss. At this point, four years in the White House after all of his foundation work has been reveled means no women and no money.
  15. We're due, right? -Cubs Fan, April 20, 1924
  16. My big miss: I thought the Jaguars would be playoff-caliber. My bigger miss: Thought the Bills would be on fire at the bye, with talk of Ryan's imminent departure.
  17. Where is this "Seattle is a good team" talk coming from? Can't block, run or score. Three injuries of note: Wilson injured. Hasn't thrown a TD pass since October 2nd. Bennett injured and out for MNF. Chancellor may be out for MNF. If anything they are about even with the Bills.
  18. His 90s show full of fighting and mayhem? God no. Stern was also famous for his access to popular adult film stars. Back in the 90s, pre-Internet, that was a draw. However with the internet and that industry even going mainstream, I doubt a radio interview is all that exciting.
  19. I like our chances. Most of those teams are one-dimensional on offense, not to be mistaken with well oiled, multiple weapon attack of the Patriots. I see all those games as winnable IF the team shows up to play. (That's a big IF) but there are no assumed blowouts there.
  20. She's in better shape if she loses the election. If she remains a private citizen, Obama will pardon her and she can continue making money and living a comfortable life while framing her legacy. If she's President, scandal and her ill health will paralyze her from getting anything accomplished. She will probably face impeachment within a year. It's not like she gets elected and everything goes away. It'll get worse.
  21. I recall a thread a few months ago about all the former Bills players we'd bring back. I guess the FO is taking that thread to heart. (Still holding out for a John Digiorgio signing for the defense.)
  22. You've probably heard the actor playing King E more than you've seen him. He's an accomplished voice artist - has been in plenty of popular cartoons and video games.
  23. Money makes you soft. Times have changed. What he got away with in the 90s gets three blocks of protesters for three weeks today that make delicate radio executives anxious. The big deal about what Trump said on the bus with Bush was PG rated compared to what Stern said and did in the 90s. Hell, you don't have anything near Morton Downey Jr., Jerry Springer or Jenny Jones on TV today.
  24. Rex and the gang out-psyched themselves yesterday. Always do when it comes to the Patriots. You could feel the sideline panic once it was 7-3. As jr1 stated - the Bills had 167 yards on the ground. MG could have had 100 yards by the half if Lynn didn't have a freak out and went to the pass. MG has shown that he is a very capable option next to McCoy. I was pleasantly surprised.
  25. When's the last time the Bills had a *great* tight end? The list of TEs going through Buffalo since Pete has been as long as the QBs.
