Speculation that AB could return to Pats after apology
dpberr replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Highly unlikely an NFL team wants him at this juncture of the season. Even the Patriots. He's Richie Incognito without the violence and I have no doubt the Raiders have snapped their backs in keeping Richie on the field. -
How Do You Brew Your Drip Coffee at Home?
dpberr replied to Nextmanup's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Has anyone had experience with a Moccamaster coffee maker? I've tried all the store coffee makers and I've used a Keurig coffee maker for the last five years. They all make an "ok" cup of coffee IMO but I was looking at these Moccamasters in my quest for a better, richer tasting cup of coffee. I'm on well water (and it's softened and filtered) and I prefer to ground the beans before I use them. -
Anybody watching Amazon Jack Ryan series?
dpberr replied to BobbyC81's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Yep. John Hoogenakker. My bet is Matice is the "John Clark" that's in the novels. -
Steelers Browns: who should get suspended and how long?
dpberr replied to Kelly the Dog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think the NFL sends a message with this one. At minimum, the remainder of the 2019 season. I wouldn't' be surprised if he gets at least half of next season too. Garrett had malicious intent, used a weapon and he connected with the hit to a person's head. It's felony assault. All on broadcast television, and if you're a cynic, that's the real reason why the punishment will be significant. -
Anyone else think Bills will dominate on Sunday?
dpberr replied to ShakAttack's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I tend to agree that the Bills will show up on Sunday and play above general expectation. The team always plays hard and McDermott has shown skill in having the team prepared for games after a loss. I just wish the team as a whole played with more aggressiveness and edge. -
I liked it. It had considerably more in-depth plot for an early 90s action film which set it apart at the time. It had a young and largely unknown Halle Berry in it. I remember critics and fans thought it was a riff on the Lethal Weapon movie design because Shane Black wrote both of those screenplays. However, in hindsight, it was an inadvertently proper Die Hard sequel. John McClane and Joe Hallenbeck are essentially the same guy in the wrong place at the wrong time, going up against well dressed white criminals with African American sidekicks (Reginald Vel Johnson, Damon Wayans, Samuel L. Jackson).

In addition to his role on SOA, I remember him from The Last Boy Scout, which for all intents and purposes was a Die Hard sequel, back in the day when Bruce Willis actually cared about his acting.

Daboll as an OC - Rankings for last 10 years
dpberr replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That's the fundamental issue. Right there. The Ravens have put Lamar Jackson in a position to succeed. -
Interesting episode but the TWD writers treat the viewers like idiots for the sake of story. Even the crudest water purification has been around since the 1600s. You don't need to be Captain Steven J. Survivalist to know not to drink raw water from the stream. Yet...Carol is still making coffee on a gas stove. Who's delivering the propane? Haha My theory is the Commonwealth is the C in CRM. (helicopter people)

This team is still a year away
dpberr replied to Buffalo Barbarian's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I disagree with the premise the team is a year away from the playoffs. Another year won't fix both the coaching and player inconsistency. That's on the coaching staff to remedy immediately. That being said, that's a very difficult step for a lot of people. People who have faith in an ideology or process, if you will, are reluctant to make big changes in what got them there. -
In my area, starting the equipment early is no big deal because the farmers are out with the equipment in the fields. On the other hand, mowing the lawn at 9pm during the summer is not something warmly received.

What Was The Worst Thing About Today's Loss?
dpberr replied to Peace Frog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I voted for coaching. This team has no nasty, no killer instinct. The "process" is like one big Zoloft on these players. I don't think there's a Bills fan in the world that understood that bizarre offensive game plan yesterday. -
Trump’s Second Term, What Will It Look Like?
dpberr replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I think his second term will be difficult. No President has a *great* second term. It would not surprise me to see him resign 2-3 years into it. Recessions are cyclical and we're due for one. I think issues like Afghanistan, state pensions, infrastructure, and healthcare will *require* action, likely very unpopular action with his base. He will likely get to appoint another 1-2 Supreme Court judges but those will end up being bargaining chips to get legislative priorities accomplished. The GOP will exert more effort to reign in the tweets, the Trump personality and the Trump family. He's a lame duck the hour after inauguration and the party will want to build the case for Pence in 2024. I expect you'll see more visible GOP push back and behind the scenes efforts to get people into vacant positions. He will hate being boxed in and he'll just quit. You'll see Pence take on a more prominent role. As for the Democrats, I expect them to lose their impeachment fiasco and the 2020 election. I think the former will significantly impact the latter. I think the party will reset at that point with somebody not named Obama or Clinton. I'd expect the inquires to die down but the resistance to do anything whatsoever legislatively, to remain. -
I don't think this is Trump's fault. The dairy economy is in significant decline for one reason - people don't drink and eat as much dairy as they used to and companies are using less dairy in products (that's why most ice cream is now...a dairy dessert) The price of milk in the US peaked in 2014 and only 15% or so is exported outside the continental 48. If the US government wasn't one of Big Dairy's biggest customers, the market would have cratered years ago. The other factor to consider is dairy farming was a sector of farming where the family farms were able to hold on - when demand was higher. As the corporations have acquired the struggling family farms, it's hard to beat them on price.

Restaurant reviews and high prices
dpberr replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in Off the Wall Archives
The more expensive the restaurant, the more health violations it likely has, at least in Pennsylvania. Nobody reads restaurant reviews but more and more newspapers are publishing restaurant inspection reports verbatim and IMO, people are reading those. -
In my area, the battle is between Popeye's and Bojangles for the fried chicken. KFC is a distant competitor. CFA beats them all on the "experience" - their customer service and product consistency is top notch.

ESPN Ends Monday Night Football Musical Half Time Show
dpberr replied to Warren Zevon's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I never understood why they were all shot in B&W. The entire MNF experience needs a reboot from top to bottom. Everything about it is stale. The format itself is over 40 years old. Just like WPIX's yule log on Christmas morning, ABC should try MNF without any announcers or commentary. I'd suspect it'd be a ratings explosion. I think with current technology in camera angles and on-screen graphics, it'd fare better than the previous experiment with it in 1980. Monday night games - coaches should wear suits. -
The London Chargers? In the AFC East? It could happen
dpberr replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The NFL needs to sit the owners of the Jags, Titans and Chargers and figure something out or buy out two of these franchises and dissolve them. I think a big assumption on the part of the NFL and its owners is that greener pastures remain for the NFL. What if there aren't any? I don't think the NFL is willing to subsidize a full time NFL franchise in London. Any owner who jumps into the deep end of that unknown will want financial subsidies and guarantees that will equal or exceed just buying out the franchise and dissolving it. Mexico and Mexico City have a very unsettled security situation. St. Louis has failed twice with NFL franchises. -
The Jets made the same mistake the Bills did with Rex Ryan. Never hire a coach who was just fired the season before. All they do is continue doing the things that got themselves fired in the first place. Need time for self reflection and identify what went wrong. Miami's players quit on Gase and I suspect the Jets quit on him by game two of the season. I think he's a smart Xs and 0s guy but he's not good at managing or leading people.

I'm delighted the media continues to provide the team anger fuel.

Seattle Seahawks Have "Gig Posters" for Games
dpberr replied to May Day 10's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Ravens one is hilarious. What's the meaning of the Rams one? Or isn't there one? The Bills would need wheelbarrows to move the money into the bank if they offered these to fans.
