  1. I don't understand this team's fascination with James Cook. Play calling has been terrible today.
  2. I'd be interested in knowing what kind of antibiotics you've used. The only antibiotic that works for me are the quinoline class drugs. The weak sauce penicillin antibiotics that urgent care and primary care doctors will prescribe usually dent an infection but doesn't completely kill it. Also make sure you're not Vitamin D deficient.
  3. That made me LOL "Rogue dietitian 2: Countin' calories while countin' bodies"
  4. Craig Ferguson wasn't too shabby with his show that ran from 2005-2014. He had interview skill was on the level of Carson, IMO. He had the right idea - he got out while on top, before he got stale. Fallon's show broke the mold with the games and skits and The Roots as the house band, but even that runs its course without a refresh, and the Roots haven't done anything in years. The 90s were an awesome time for late night TV. You had breakout stars like Arsenio, Conan and Craig Kilborn and fantastic disasters like Magic Johnson, Chevy Chase and Howard Stern. Stern's show was a harbinger of what was to come - not a lot of people found mainstream Howard all that interesting.
  5. She's hardly the only star living the Whitney Houston experience, where Houston was in love with a woman her entire career, despite marrying men and having a child. Whitney's family and "camp" did everything they could to keep her away from Robyn Crawford. My guess is that it's always been a thing, and then when she got real big, it had to be kept a secret. She's pop music now....but there will be the inevitable later career swing back into country music, arguably a more conservative leaning fanbase. I also think many might see her as a phony, with all of her popular music and videos centered around relationships with boyfriends. I think if she came out, she'd lose a lot of her brand. I don't think she, or her camp, want to risk the billion dollar machine to any spicy revelations, so it'll be another 20 years of "boyfriends" that have an odd fit, and they always seem to be far from where she lives, and there's never any marriage or children talk....
  6. I'm convinced this is absolutely, positively a business arrangement with a pre-determined shelf life. She gets the heterosexual cover for her female relationships she's desperate to keep under wraps. He gets the inroads into broadcasting, television for himself and or with his brother. He probably wants a Michael Strahan or Peyton Manning type of career after the NFL, hosting shows. The wall to wall coverage of this suggests to me that this is his last season as a player in the NFL. There's going to be little oxygen left in the room in NFL broadcasting once Brady starts, and the Mannings are always lurking, likely waiting for a plum spot to open up. This guy has never dated women that look like Tay Tay. He dates women that look like Jordan Poyer's wife.
  7. Pittsburgh has sealed its demise with their continued employ of Matt Canada. If the Bengals want to make the playoffs, they have to sit Burrow for weeks and let that calf injury completely heal. Throwing him out there just keeps him injured and the team losing games.
  8. The Jets have to have one of the sadder coaching histories in the NFL. If you remove Al Groh, who coached just one season, they have had just two coaches with a record .500 or better. Parcells lasted three seasons, Baugh lasted two.
  9. Siemian is likely affordable, willing to be on the practice squad and a Jet for just a handful of games. I'm suspecting Wentz and Ryan (and Colt McCoy) wanted too much money, guarantees, or refusing to be on a practice squad. Wentz *should* have a job in the NFL, but he's likely refusing to be on anybody's practice squad.
  10. I don't understand what the Jets are expecting to see with Zach Wilson. I think he's had plenty of games to show what he does. I suspect his presence on the field is due to something stupid like the billionaire owner not wanting to spend money on a temporary fix.
  11. I prefer Ken Dorsey over Brian Daboll. Daboll may be this genius of offense during the week when building/installing the game plan, but I think Dorsey is the better coordinator when it comes to adapting the offense from game to game and during the game, and what counts is what you do after getting punched in the face by the defense. Daboll was often way too beholden to his formations and script of plays, and I think that is why the Giants are not doing well this year. The defense knows what is coming, and he is not adapting/changing it up.
  12. BB should have retired when Brady left the Patriots and leave the question of who influenced their dynasty more forever unanswered. I think he's in New England for as long as he wants. He (and Kraft) probably want that all-time victory title, but he's 31 victories away. If the Patriots keep rolling out these 8-9 win seasons, that's a long time.
  13. This is what the Ravens players grade the facilities - (from that NFLPA report card earlier this year). They did fire their strength and conditioning coach before the season. They have a new one now. I suspect the Ravens do not have a great offseason program for their players, so they are coming in over trained, or improperly trained where ligaments and tendons were beat to death in off season conditioning and wear out OR they come into shape fat and not ready to play. Both scenarios create injuries. They haven't even gotten to Lamar's annual injury buffet.
  14. Legitimately tore the time/space continuum in Buffalo, one of the most consequential decisions he ever made as owner.
  15. She's a mess, but smart. With money. I'm sure there's money and NDAs flowing. Wouldn't be a bit surprised she makes guys sign one prior to a date. My personal conspiracy theory is she's a lot like Whitney Houston was - she dates women or a woman in secret, likely proximate to where the boyfriend "is" and she doesn't want that impacting her career. I don't think it'd matter much today, but back when Swift was a country star, that likely would have had consequences.
  16. It'll be dead soon because advertisers will spend their money elsewhere, or save it for live broadcasts. ESPN is reaching that MTV inflection point where they will cut costs by running re-runs of Coach and White Shadow for like 20 hours of the programming day. Don't laugh - it's coming - they will market it as "retro" sports programming. For ESPN, this is not a conversation about quality programming. It's about cheaply filling airtime at the lowest cost possible, where the cost of filling the airtime remains below the ad revenue that comes into the company. These debate shows are cheap to run until the personalities price themselves out of existence. It's not that anyone cares what Stephen A Smith thinks, but for what ESPN pays for him, he soaks up *a lot* of that available airtime.
  17. I think she's a mess behind the scenes. Most people show you exactly who they are if you pay attention. (Blank space song.) There's something there that keeps men away, sometimes on separate continents.
  18. He was drafted way too high. He's 75% great athlete, 25% legit QB. Fields would have benefited from sitting the entire 2021 year, learning the game. I know Dalton got injured, but they should have signed a FA and given Fields time to learn the game.
  19. Once the weather turns cold/bad, you'll need Murray and Harris at full strength. Those two guys are quietly big parts of this offense come November - when the weather gets messy and winds pick up and you need a hard nosed run game. They will win a football game for the Bills this season.
  20. Payton's most significant hurdle was (and remains) getting RW to perform at average to above average quarterbacking, with average receivers. Denver will be in a lot of shootouts this year because they have an *undisciplined* defense that plays out of control at key times. Kareem Jackson is good, but he'll get kicked out of a lot of games this year if he keeps it up. He rocked Meyers last week and went for the head of Logan Thomas yesterday. His ejection (and the penalty) completely flipped that game to Washington.
  21. Murray is a real running back.
  22. I thought Game 1 went well. Had to adjust the entire defensive plan after four snaps. I think that if it was Wilson behind center a week prior to the game, they would have shut down the run game and make Wilson win it with his arm.
  23. Giants. The entire team didn't show up for a home opener and got demolished.
  24. He better get straightened out emotionally and cognitively. Can't play like he just snorted the entire bag of cocaine in the tunnel before warmups.
