I see that Clinton is going after Trump's "Saddam killed terrorists very well" remarks. Although not articulated smartly, Trump is right. Guys like Saddam, Qaddafi and Assad kept the lid on the pot of all these Islamic jihadists and it was these war mongers like the Bushes and the Clintons who have effectively removed that firewall by removing bad dictators. However, those dictators served a strategic purpose to the United States. I watched the Frontline that detailed the run-up to the Iraq War and how the United States tried tying Zarqawi to Saddam. What an eye opener. The CIA analysts are going "there is no NO WAY Saddam would let a guy like Zarqawi run around Iraq" yet guys like Cheney and Libby insisted there must be a connection. With Clinton, I just see more international mess making and destabilization. She'll double down on removing Assad and then go for a big fish like North Korea or some field trips to Africa.

Bill got foiled once again. The last thing that man wants is to be in the White House again with his every move watched.

I love them but I have thought about divorce on occasion. I have been less interested this year. I couldn't tell you the why - just not into the team as much. I was a big Fred Jackson fan and since he's left, eh.

Alvin Bowen from the 2008 draft.

I'll tell you what game really stung to me - the Sunday, September 20, 2015, Week 2 game versus the Patriots. I suppose I had irrational expectations for that game. I was going into that game with the hope that we'd hang a big one on the Pats and that times had changed. And...they hadn't.

Most "fans" wouldn't bother going to the stadium on Sundays if there wasn't any alcohol sold in the stadium or permitted outside it.

If Trump would adopt an "END NAFTA" pitch to his campaign, I bet he would get a lot of the blue collar Democrats that otherwise would vote for Clinton.

Welcome to the revolution. The EU is a cooked goose. Other countries will follow. It makes me curious as to whether the United States would ever quit NAFTA should Trump become President.

I learned that I actually prefer an aluminum foil ball in the dryer versus the fabric softener sheets I've always used.

He probably wants guaranteed money just to show up to camp and no team is going to do that for a 31 year old lineman with two major knee surgeries.

Cable news is going the way of ESPN - its all pundits, lots of shouting, very little newscast. When you compare cable news and ESPN from even ten years ago - you had a lot more traditional newscasting and stories. Now it's just wall to wall pundits regardless of the channel. I don't watch NFLN NBA or MLB for the same reason. Too much opinion, not enough news.

Probably asking for a reasonable amount BUT wants it guaranteed. The thing I'd worry about is his left ACL. That can't be too far behind the twice torn right one.

Gregg Popovich. He's responsible for the most selfless and successful culture in all of modern day North American professional sports.

Obama has been a boon for the gun market in the United States. Record sales. Record permits. He's done more to arm American than any one person in American history. He's been able to achieve that on two fronts. One, the desire to ban certain firearms. Creates demand. Two, when Americans don't feel safe, they start arming themselves and this administration does very little to reassure the public they are on the case.

I think the problem is the team is giving the media and fans too much access. Less is more. Especially in the off season. I don't agree with Whaley and the Ryans doing all the press they do. I wish they'd do zero.

I think crowd hysteria and a zoo director freaking out led to this conclusion. I'm just really surprised the "protocol" for this type of situation happening at a zoo is for said zoo to shoot the animal dead. If that's the contingency plan, can't wait to see the inspired choices for the poisonous snakes or the owl cage. If I'm the zoo, I'd sue the parents. On some level their lack of parenting skills led to the reluctant destruction of property.

This season will either be the best season we've all experienced since 1999 or the very worst. I suppose we can look forward to it being magnanimous either way.

I don't think GSW can win a game in Oklahoma City unless they kick all of OKCs players in the nuts.

I'm bored with all these recycled ideas. I will say that TNG became great because they made changes that turned out to be home runs, not strikeouts. The casting of Patrick Stewart for example wasn't met with the most excited fanfare (A theater actor playing the Captain! Blasphemy!) but turned out to be excellent. Instead of going for young hot things, they actually had a cast of established, older actors and actresses. A novel idea today. They introduced new things like holodecks and interesting new foes like the Borg and Q. They were one of the first shows to pull off serial storytelling in the 1990s among a sea of paint by the numbers procedural shows. I thought that TNG was the best of the Star Trek shows because there appeared to be thought put into it from the start and unlike the JJ Abrams storytelling nonsense of today, they tied up the show quite nicely when it ended.

I don't think he's been physically well the last several years.

That mid-season finale was weird and terrible. This is what happens when writers don't have source material to fall back on. You just start winging it.

They are passable CBs. You can do a lot worse. It's just that both of those guys will drive the Eagles fan base insane with their ill timed penalties and mistakes. McKelvin is the defensive equivalent of the Fitzpatrick fourth quarter interception.

I feel bad for her. You could see the hurt and embarrassment in her face.

Wash Your Hands Always Be Washing. I'm amazed at how many people don't.
