McCarthy is Mr. Uniparty. Just like McConnell. The uniparty won't take no for an answer. 6 tries or 60. McCarthy will be speaker. Just wait and see. Most people would get the hint after six tries, but McCarthy won't. Uniparty doesn't care one iota about Hunter Biden investigations, abortion or any of the "woke" noise. That's stuff for the consumption of the "average" American. Just don't touch the budget and don't ask about things the they are involved in like the border (great source of very cheap labor), GOF research (that the US government and wealthy universities continue to finance), feds spying on Americans.

I remember the 1989 Colorado Buffaloes college football team. The starting quarterback, Sal Anuese, was diagnosed with an inoperable form of stomach cancer in March 1989. There wasn't much modern medicine could do for the young man, but he showed up to games anyway. He died in September 1989 shortly after the college football season had begun. He had attended the home game against the Illini just the week before. The team used the tragedy as a sense of motivation and purpose, to complete the entirely unexpected undefeated regular season, only losing to Notre Dame in the 1990 Orange Bowl. I don't think the Buffs were as good, talent wise, as their record suggests, but they were a team on a mission. They started beating on teams after Anuese's passing. They beat Nebraska that year, a Cornhuskers team that had 20 players go to the NFL.

"Let"? Social media has always been the government. They'd much rather have people think that Twitter et al "allows" the government to interface with their product, as if they have a choice. People think "oh well, the government doesn't care about my hot takes on the Buffalo Bills, or how much I enjoyed that summer vacation, or the 1,233 pictures of my kids playing sports. Versus the likely reality that Twitter, Facebook are the storefronts of a passive intelligence gathering operation and they care deeply about every picture, every piece of information. It's not very different from how the Feds caught the Idaho killer. People, of their own free will, contribute DNA to websites! People of their own free will, share picture after picture of themselves and family, and what they do with their time. All you have to do is sit back...and let them.

I get the impression the defense throws a vanilla coverage out there deliberately on the first drive to gather information about the offense, since the offense is likely working off a pre-designed script of formations. It's just too much of a pattern that the opposing team always works their way down the field easily on the first drive to think it's not deliberate.

Chargers, especially if they are 1 and done in the playoffs. Staley is 100 percent expendable for Harbaugh (or Payton).

Zach Wilson, much like ol' Josh Rosen and Sam Darnold, had consistent cautions about coachability in their draft profiles. Rosen refused to be coached, Darnold had problems executing what he was being coached to do. When stressed, Darnold remains the QB he was at USC. On the other hand, Josh Allen had positive reviews on coachability, and IMO, that has been the difference maker. Allen accepts coaching and and executes it. I think for NFL teams that draft QBs, once you start seeing multiple accounts of attitude or coaching problems, go invest in another quarterback. Don't be the loving spouse that thinks you'll "change" them.

I personally don't think he has a desire to be a HC. He takes the interviews out of professional courtesy.

Seattle and Washington are my dark horses. Carroll because he will be 72 and may retire. Rivera because the Commanders get a new owner and want "their" guy.

Was set up to fail from the start because the Broncos were cheap. I believe the only reason he was hired was in some sort of odd bid for Aaron Rodgers. When that failed, the Broncos should have just bought out Hackett and went in a different direction. Wilson looked done last year in Seattle. He's put an exclamation point on that this year. Cognitively, he's not there as a football player anymore. They will have to do a Brock Osweiler type of deal to get someone interested in taking on that contract.

IMO, No. Guys like Mandarich, Emtman, Bosworth all had far more college accolades and didn't quite get there in the NFL. Then you've virtually every all world RB out of Penn State from Blair Thomas to Kijana Carter. Wilson is like Akili Smith, Andre Ware, Tim Couch. One great college year but was way over drafted by a desperate team.

Is that a European thing? Why would you walk aside the cart? I'm a believer in the shopping cart theory. I feel it readily identifies those in society with sociopathic personalities.

I thought it was a smart play. It was a boot on the neck kind of play. Miami could only hope the field goal would fail. 16 seconds allowed the MCM. 13 seconds allowed Patrick Mahomes back on the field.

Send the house. He can't handle it.

Another bizarre defensive "strategy" in this game.

If there has been defensive adjustments, now is the time to deploy them.

Good question. In my experience, I had the folliculitis on my neck, but not my face, and once I started sanitizing the razor blades, the problem on my neck went away. Also consider your skin not liking aftershave, beard oil or anything else you put on your face.

I always spritz my razors with isopropyl alcohol, let it dwell for a minute, and then use it. I never keep my razor in the shower, I take it out and let it dry. It works for me, I've never had a razor burn or the folliculitis on my neck. A barber clued me into this a long time ago - razors, etc. all have bacteria on them, and you go away opening up the hair follicles on the neck for it. I use isopropyl because it's cheap. You can also get the fancier barbicide.

Arizona is one of the league's quieter terrible teams. All hat no cattle. Closer to a rebuild than the Super Bowl. Besides hosting them, they aren't going anywhere near the Super Bowl with Kingsbury/Murray. His college plays long discovered by NFL defenses. He's 90% athlete, 10% NFL quarterback.

I don't care for his opinions on things but he's a very good columnist. People read it, and it's generated 13 pages of comments. Mission accomplished. I hate seeing the cancelling of opinion. This whole "I don't agree with it, I want him/her gone!" creates a weak-minded population fed off the tete of group think and corporate communications.

I look at Colt McCoy's career and see a successful model. In the league since 2010. He's outlasted everyone else picked in the 3rd round of the draft. He could have had a similar career. There are worse things in life than making millions being a backup quarterback with real shots at starting fame and glory. Life's lesson is stay out of your own way.

The moves to bring Brown and Beasley into the mix are shrewd moves. I really like that the front office decided to go this route. I think both of them will have integral roles in getting the Bills to the Super Bowl.

I'm happy the Bills are 10-3 and winning these sorts of games they would have lost last season. All teams are playing ugly ball now. It's late in the season. My concern is growing that the offense grinds to a halt without hero ball from Allen/Diggs. It has a flavor of being one-dimensional. It requires the Josh Allen awesome run or the Diggs magic to move down the field. There will be a defense, or defense+weather that manages to degrade both enough, and the Bills will need to rely on someone else. I wouldn't wait to the divisional game to draw those plays up. The Bills need to sell that everyone can be a weapon in that offense.

In a different decade, the media's hair would be on fire about the obvious thing being said here: Social media is either on US government computers and infrastructure, or the US government can see everything on social media. The only reason the US wants to ban TikTok is that it's not on US government computers and the government has no doors into it.

Super Bowl aspirations are still there but it'll require more of one person in particular - Frazier. It's not that any one man can get Buffalo into the SB, but Leslie Frazier isn't going to do what he drew up to beat KC with anyone on this team but Von Miller. I'm afraid that when that crunch time inevitably arrives again, he'll get conservative and give Kansas City/Cincy/ what it expects he'll do.

In Colorado's case, they went cheap on coaches who couldn't recruit but wouldn't jump ship for a better offer. In Nebraska's case, they've only been crap since 2015 with two nightmare coaching hires in Mike Riley and Scott Frost. Both Riley and Frost knew the game but couldn't recruit. Sanders and Rhule have the recruiting talent, and that's why I expect both programs will be a lot better.
