  1. His appearance on SNF is not of a man who's training for a return. It appears he's put on significant weight.
  2. We are in the same gift-giving boat. Can't beat them for Christmas cookie making.
  3. I think they still get to censure because when it comes down to it, "these" people care most about their own backsides and that requires not taking a side. If you're a Democrat House member, there's no win here for you. Vote for impeachment and suffer the wrath of an electorate, its likely defeat and the Republican fringe. Don't vote for it, and likely suffer the wrath of your party and its fringe. So...let's just not vote at all. Let's just send a letter.
  4. I don't think Chargers GM Brandon Beane would have done some of the things Tom Telesco has, and I think that's an important factor to consider in our parallel universe discussion.
  5. At this point, RB2 needs to be fresh legs, and those aren't his legs.
  6. I like simple instrumental (piano, sax, a little drum) of the classics. I loathe that Paul McCartney Christmas song. Runner up is everything by Pentatonix.
  7. Eastwood's film should have included the Eric Rudolph component of that event. Without it, the story is boring and incomplete. The Rudolph portion of that story was intense with a lot more questions - he evaded capture for years, his brother cut his arm off with a saw as a sign of solidarity, and despite being on the run, when Rudolph was captured, he was wearing all brand new clothes and looked well kept, which suggests he had help.
  8. Frank Gore no longer has it - and if the Bills need to stop trying to make him happen. The ultra conservative offense in the latter stages of the game works if your RB2 can get some positive yards.
  9. Just wait until Kitchenaid unveils their mixer ads where hubby gifts a stand mixer to the Mrs. with the tagline "Get bakin' woman!"
  10. I'm a fan of the Twins and formerly the Bucs. The last straw for me was when they traded Cutch. Just had my fill of the Nutting era Pirates at that point.
  11. Can you imagine a MLB with an NFL-like salary cap? It'd force the cheap teams to spend money. Fans tend to hate the Yankees because they spend but the bigger issue is the growing number of teams that don't spend and the growing number of teams content with tanking for a few years to gobble up cheap prospects they can control so they don't have to spend money. A real salary cap would fundamentally change the game and take away the competitive advantage of the Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers. Perhaps give some teams a new lease on life with new owners (Pittsburgh,). Bob Nutting would sell the team before being told he'd be required to spend $150 million every year. There's zero parity in baseball. Yes, a small market team can be competitive, and perhaps can even win a World Series in any given year, but the money isn't there to make it sustainable.
  12. This movie has some soul to it. A proper sequel, I hope. The 2016 Paul Feig one was a NYC street corner Rilex to the Rolex.
  13. I think the only people who are shocked that Afghanistan is an unwinnable war might be Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney. The *entire* history of Afghanistan strongly suggested that nation building in Afghanistan wasn't going to work out well for the West or the Afghan people.
  14. The only person likely shocked by any of this is Tom Brady. That arm is out of ammunition.
  15. I go into Scorcese movies thinking I won't like them and always come away pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the Irishman. I was once again reminded of Anna Paquin's stunning beauty and Scorcese's attention to detail for the set pieces is excellent. Joe Pesci stole the show in the movie.
  16. I've been watching it. I appreciate the unique storytelling techniques and I've enjoyed the show's complexity. I thought Episode 6 where Sister Knight "re-lived" her grandfather's life with the pills was very clever.
  17. Don't forget the mass deportation of those with disabilities too. (Misfit toys)
  18. She's just trying to raise money to cover campaign debt at this point.
  19. If the Bills play three linebackers, they will lose. This isn't the game for Alexander.
  20. IMO, regardless of how the season plays out, he won't get fired until the Giants and Redskins make decisions about their head coaching vacancies. The last thing JJ wants is seeing Garrett coach against the Cowboys in the division. You may say "so what?" to that but Garrett walks out the door with over a decade (been in a coaching capacity of some sort since 2007) of corporate knowledge about the Cowboys. A guy with that longevity, as they say, "knows where the bodies are buried." Plus, it'd just likely piss off JJ. The Cowboys season isn't over. They can win that division.
  21. He's a bright coach but he needs to evolve. The Patriots punched him in the face in the Super Bowl and he didn't have a counter.
  22. The Chargers successfully neutralized Jackson and the Ravens last year. They used seven defensive backs (who could tackle) and no linebackers. If I were the Bills, I'd dare convention and try it. The Ravens smoke the conventional 4-3-4 configuration. Have to take the slower linebackers off the chess board.
  23. If we assume that the media reports are real that there are two seasons left in TWD, my theory is that CRM is three communities in an uneasy alliance and Alexandria/Hilltop will spend those seasons figuring out which side they are on. It's likely Maggie and Rick are at one or both. I'd think they'd want to make that Michonne good bye extra sappy or Judith goes with her, maybe.
  24. Virgil isn't in the books. My theory: He's the deus ex machina to three plots: 1. Reintroduction of modern weaponry that will neutralize the horde; 2. Provides the entry to the next chapter as said weaponry will be owned by CRM; 3. Likely provides some tantalizing clue that Rick was there - and that will be the exit for the Michonne character.
