  1. He'd be my #1 free agency target without a doubt. I like him better than Morse by a little because I think Paradis is an elite zone blocking OL whereas Morse is a very good one and if you're going to pay great money, go get the great. That being said, I'd also draft a "real" center (no swing OL or a guard who "can" play center) to apprentice with him so you're building redundancy in your OL.
  2. I'd pass. Even in a very best case scenario, he'll give you a good September, maybe an October. With those concussions, it'll take just one to put him on IR for the year. Concussions are like bending a frame on a car. Each and everytime you do it, you're making the structure a little more weaker and less able to withstand an impact.
  3. Aliens remains a supremely watchable movie despite debuting over 30 years ago and is one of the few movies you could practically say bested its predecessor. What Heat is to Michael Mann, Aliens is to James Cameron.
  4. Would you pay great money for a good LB? That's really what you're thinking about with Mosley. He's a great run stopping LB and decent in coverage, but as the league evolves towards those quick, precise passes, FOs will probably put more emphasis on great coverage LBs and decent run stoppers.
  5. It's very sad. He didn't *look* unhealthy. Wasn't obese and there were no published reports of him being a smoker, having substance abuse problems or a serious health condition. IMO, the 50s are a no-joke serious decade for male health, both physically and mentally. It seems like for alot of men, the wheels fall off health wise during this time and the strokes, heart attacks, cancers and depression all seem to come looking for you.
  6. I'm torn. I firmly believe that great WRs are expert route runners and he'd have to prove he could be one to draft him at #9.
  7. Out of the choices, I picked Chan Gailey. I think he was a solid offense tactician and the team played hard for him. If he had a DC of the Jim Schwartz caliber, the Bills were playoff "caliber." I don't think there is any scenario where I'd pick Rex Ryan. IMO, he committed professional malpractice taking the Bills job and stole the Pegulas money. He was burnt out from his time with the Jets, obscenly nepotistic and lazy. Dick Jauron would have been a good to great coach in the NFL of the 80s.
  8. I don't think Steve Keim is stupid enough to draft a 5'10" quarterback first overall.
  9. If you're selecting him with a low pick, sure. Otherwise, you're in Willis McGahee territory with the high pick.
  10. I am very pleased they made mention of paying attention to the medical data on players. I don't think that's been a priority data point for previous Bills FOs.
  11. Heart over brain here. I'm not sure I'd want another season of brain rattling at age 37 with a body that hasn't taken a ht in a while. Feels like one of those "just asking for it..." moments.
  12. With Nick Foles at QB he caught a fair amount of passes. With Wentz at QB, he's nearly invisible. I rarely say invesitgate that trade, but that might not be a bad one to inquire about.
  13. 24. It got very predictable and towards the end, way too much Chloe. The Corey Hawkins try shouldn't have been attempted. First bad guy you see isn't the really bad guy, there's always a mole in CTU, etc. Sons of Anarchy. As that series wore on, it was less about an anti-hero motorcycle gang and more about the exploits of a sociopathic group of murderers.
  14. When these two countries fight, they really go at it. Lots of shelling, large tank battles, aerial dogfights and covert operations. They sorta sneak in all the aspects of a world war in like 48 hours of battle royale before they say "eh" and do a ceasefire. IMO, this is a more likely nuclear flashpoint than anywhere else in the world because of that historical pattern of ratcheting up the war real quick.
  15. Justified The Shield Battlestar Galactica (2003 version)
  16. I wouldn't trade for him. Taylor not finding a role for him on the team is a blinking red light to me. He is an oft-injured, undersized wide receiver with poor route running skills and documented issues beating man/man coverage because he's undersized. In such a quick precision passing league, your WRs need to do more than run really fast.
  17. There's a difference between "news" and "content" today. Biggest change is the demand for 24/7 content by management. They don't really care what it is, so long as it can get up on the website or in the Twitter feed ASAP. The days of a Dr. Z longform expose are long gone because management demands content creation on a ridiculous schedule to stay competitive with Twitter and bloggers. Bill Simmons gave real content a shot and ESPN couldn't stomach it because it likely took too long and too expensive to make. Opinion is cheap, easy and quick to manufacture. We see that a media company doesn't need to hire a Dr. Z caliber reporter anymore. You can hire a "Dylan" fresh out of college and get your content and a "Rebecca" to direct "discussion" with the cast of former NFL players just to say stuff to soak up the airtime.
  18. Will run a route about as good as a cross-eyed dog. Lots of fast athletes in the NFL. Fewer precise route running WRs.
  19. IMO, legalizing prostitution in the United States would make a dent in human trafficing. The black market thrives when an act or product is illegal.
  20. There are a lot of guys on there with worrisome injury stats. Morse has missed a lot of games.
  21. IMO, I think the Koreas have already agreed to the end of the Korean War and easing of some sanctions. I think that can still be screwed up. I'm concerned the neocon movement in Washington will not be happy with anything less than their idea of a Korean peninsula in the image of South Korea. If Trump can get the Koreas to end the war and get North Korea on a path mirroring Vietnam's economy, I'd chalk that up to a success. If it were anybody (and I mean anybody) but Trump doing it, we'd be getting him or her fitted for a Nobel Peace Prize.
  22. The lack of firearms and ammunition is lousy, uneducated writing, I agree, considering the locale of the entire show. Virginia is home to numerous ammunition and weapons manufacturers, not to mention several large military bases. Even if it's a few years post apocalypse, materials and equipment are still around, even if you could only make .22 caliber munitions. Eugene was making ammunition for the Saviors and gunpowder can be created. Last night I saw Ezekiel had one of those fancy new Beretta FS92A3s in a thigh holster which is a major plot error as they would have never been invented in that timeline. I think as TWD goes on, the firearms inconsistency will be a major plot hole for anyone who cares about the details. haha. I figure they want to make the Whisperers scary and they aren't scary at all if your hunting parties are armed with 21st Century firearms.
  23. The moral of the story watching TWD and FTWD is don't have any dumb kids in your group. They are sure to get you killed.
  24. After personally being injured by a flu vaccine, I'm obviously biased about the subject. I'm not against vaccination. However... I don't think otherwise healthy people need to expose themselves to the risk of the flu or pneumonia shots year after year. I'd rather be sick for a week instead of how I've spent the last 20 years of my life battling a debilitating nerve condition as a result of a nasty reaction to the shot. I also don't think the CDC/FDA/Corporations are really researching these vaccines carefully. I think that's why you have a growing group of children all of a sudden with acute flaccid myelitis. I suspect it's due to a bad batch of vaccine that somebody missed. I also don't think it's right the government protects the vaccine business with its own no-fault drug court. The government will pretty much write you a check to go away.
