  1. I don't know what his deal is but there is no way he should get paid CB #1 money by the Bills.
  2. My very tin foil hat conspiracy theory: These hacking groups are being funneled information from NSA/DIA/CIA insiders and Wikileaks has the 33,000 lost emails and is going to release them - but only after she's elected. The FBI is being leveraged big time into reopening the case because having those emails released after she's won the election and/or has assumed office, you've got a very, very bad situation on your hands of having a President-Elect found to have committed crimes and then the sitting President pardoning the President-Elect. That'd be a mess.
  3. Free agency killed this league (and MLB). It's just been a slow bleed out. Teams can't retain talent for the long haul and build something so it's a lot of flash in the pan and mediocrity. It's boring to watch.
  4. 24 was ahead of its time as it shaped future shows. It was a big deal to have a movie star do a tv show. Today it's the norm. The split screens, each show is an hour in Jack's day, the movie-like production, the violence... Without 24, I don't think you get shows like the Shield, Sons of Anarchy, Lost, etc. All novel things in 2001 television.
  5. #1 Running Back When McCoy goes down you can literally hear the offense powering down along with him.
  6. The Warriors have zero rebounding. That's how they lost the Finals up 3-1 and that's why they lost last night. They have no paint presence.
  7. The irony is of the new season is that it's essentially the same premise of the first season of the original show. I was happy to read Tony will be featured in the season at some point.
  8. They need a come to jesus moment about the RB position. If they don't trust MG and LM is injured or out, isn't it irrelevant at who you have at the receiver position?
  9. They had to go long on Negan violence because the Governor character and storyline was underwhelming. Otherwise it's Rick and the Battlin' Milita knocking off the villain of the week.
  10. My one contribution: Their defensive game plan did not take Miami's running game seriously. The game plan looked a lot like last year's game plan. I'm not calling Dennis Thurman lazy but I think he stuck with what worked because it worked well last year. If the defense contains the run yesterday, it is a Bills win.
  11. TS-19 is still my favorite, probably because it appeals to my enjoyment of science fiction. It delivered the kick to the nuts and hopelessness without the gore. Don't forget that "New" Jack Bauer and Tara are out in the world somewhere in addition to Morgan and Carol.
  12. Isn't it ironic that Trump is getting blasted for wanting to have a dialogue with the Russians? In other decades, that gets you a peace prize.
  13. When it comes to polls, there is no apples to apples comparison. While poll methodology makes the brain of the average American bleed, it matters how you ask the questions, to whom, sampling error, etc. That's why you can have such wild swings - Clinton is up 7 points in Poll X but in Poll Y, Trump leads by 3. Here is an article on how the polls fared in the 2012 election. I've added the link to the most accurate poll from 2012 based on that article. http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/11/10/which-polls-fared-best-and-worst-in-the-2012-presidential-race/?_r=0 http://www.investors.com/politics/trumps-1-point-lead-holds-despite-debate-uproar-ibdtipp-poll/
  14. This *might* be a surprisingly civil debate that will confuse everyone afterwards. This debate has an experienced moderator. Both candidates have every reason in the universe to talk about "boring" issues. She doesn't want to touch any of the Wikileaks stuff and he doesn't want to get wrapped into 90 minutes more of dealing with the groping accusations. They both want voters to turn out to vote for them. He's being coached to stay on message. She's being coached to run out the clock and make it a fast 90 minutes and get out of there.
  15. If I'm Trader Doug: I'd see what the Jets want in return for Forte.
  16. They should start Petty or Hackenberg to see what they've got. Couldn't be worse. The season is over at 1-5.
  17. His next stop is being a college head coach IMO.
  18. He looks bored playing football.
  19. You know she has no choice. Her body will betray her on the debate stage without treatment and rest.
  20. Best thing about last night's games were the Broncos helmets. They should get rid of the new age horse and run with those.
  21. The 2020 GOP candidate isn't around yet. All of those names don't stand a chance. The theory that the GOP will magically go back to establishment politics is wishful thinking. If the HRC economy makes the Obama economy look dynamic, that GOP candidate will be from business again, not politics. If HRC gets the United States into foreign affairs that make the Bush administration look competent, it'll be a person with military or foreign affairs experience. I think both Trump and Clinton are one term presidents. I don't think either of them will opt to run for a second term.
  22. There is very little chance HRC is healthy enough or avoids impeachment long enough for a second term. Democrats are thinking they are voting for this super healthy, super energetic, super principled Madam Secretary and Josiah Bartlett mix which I find hilariously naive. The Democrats won't rue the day the first elected female was a Democrat. They will rue that they chose that person.
  23. What about the status quo is "good" in your opinion? What about the last 16 years has been great? Clinton is the hybrid of Bush and Obama. She has Bush's desire for war and intervention and Obama's desire for liberal social engineering. IMO, a Clinton presidency *is* the full blown tank you speak of. I'm no fan of Trump on a personal level but I'm voting for him because the establishment status quo by both sides is the living nightmare for a lot of people, regardless of race and income.
  24. He's not the same guy he was. Skinnier, less muscle, new coach, crappier team, all the drama and to boot, hasnt played meaningful football in a while.
  25. I think the Democrats are content to run out the clock and the last thing they'd do is provoke Trump into going after Bill. That's why I think you'll see the Clinton rhetoric about women go away as we close in on that third debate. She doesn't want the last debate to be spent defending the indefensible and have the optics of trying to laugh and quip her way out of topics like rape, affairs, etc. IMO, she looked terrible smiling all the time about Bill's past and her emails - as if the women in the front row were all liars. I agree too that Trump didn't want to really go after Bill either, partially out of the fact that both men had their kids there and that at some point, Trump and Clinton were friends. That's why I think the GOP sat on this tape and deployed it themselves. Aren't you surprised it didn't come out in the primaries?
