Bee's fatal flaw is she's not really interested in making people laugh. It's just a self-indulgent catharsis for her and the writers raging out at the world like all the talking heads you see in cable news. I also find her skits similar to Sasha Cohen's - they may intend them to be funny but they come across as being mean-spirited.

I doubt he gets fired. I think ultimately it comes down to whether he was forwarded texts or not, and even if he were, who says those texts are factual or present enough information to make an informed decision? I don't see Urban's wife ratting him out and I can see any able attorney punching lots of holes into the "well he should have known from text messages!" claim. It'd be different if Urban saw domestic violence occur and did nothing or the guy was found guilty and he kept him on staff.

Some random opinions on the subject: Dave Letterman wasn't all that funny but he was edgier than Johnny Carson or Dick Cavett and better at it than say Magic Johnson or Chevy Chase. (God, were those acres wide tire fires.) I never understood why Jon Stewart left the Daily Show or why Stephen Colbert thought playing himself would be funnier. Howard Stern's run ended twenty years ago before the internet desensitized his listening audience and before he had to be a dad to his growing teenage daughters. It's hard to look them in the face after discussing Robin's chest for two hours. He was at his best in the 90s when people still had an appetite for Morton Downey Jr. and Geraldo and before you could spend hours *seeing* what somebody like Stormy Daniels actually does for a living after he interviews her. The late night model took a hit when television producers tried turning it into a daytime model. They replaced all the game shows with morning talk shows featuring celebrities that weren't all that endearing (Rosie O'Donnell, Martin Short) or complete nobodys (Wayne Brady).

I'd second Delaware as a state to investigate. Has more pros than cons. As a Pennsylvania resident, there is absolutely no good reason to retire to Pennsylvania unless you're escaping New Jersey's pension taxes. PA is a poorly managed state where the combination of decades of disinvestment and poor demographic trends are eating it alive. It's a shame because it's generally calm weather/nature wise.

I'm amazed at how terrible some of the Naked and Afraid contestants are at the show they voluntarily put themselves on. Don't contestants understand fire is the priority over pretty shelter building? Without fire, you've got *water*, food, bug and temperature problems immediately and all will sap your strength. It amazes me the majority of contestants spend their energy reserves in the first few days doing lots of things but getting one started. The guys on Dual Survivor always started a fire earlier rather than later. (Joe Teti simply started them with a glare at some dry wood.) I haven't watched Alone. I'll have to take a look at it.

Beth Mowins is not a play by play announcer. I have no idea why she's coming back. That was a terrible performance by Ryan and her last year. Rex interviews well but once he's on the job, his laziness betrays him. His problem is he never took a break after NYJ to reflect and recharge. His ego prevents this from happening. He has that "Fire me? I'll show you" attitude.

In your opinion, who's the stronger adversary for the people on the show? Nature or their own mind?

I buy the Russians did it. However, I think the reason they did it is because there is a personal beef between Putin and the Clintons and it's either ridiculous, incriminating or horrific, and that's why Obama didn't touch it and Trump is going to sidestep it. Obama wasn't going to ride to Hillary's rescue and Trump certainly isn't. I know the narrative is "what does Russia have on Trump" but you never see much about why Russia would have it in for the Clintons.

You took that farther than I intended. I was merely commenting on the 90s style of both sites being an asset.

I always liked their post-game scoring and appreciated the matter of fact writing. I thought the "old-school" website was a plus, not a negative. It was the Drudge Report of Bills sites.

I wouldn't change anything with the exception of privately advancing my accumulation of inconspicuous wealth by investments, sports betting and creating the companies of today before their inventors did.

I used to go to Ocean City, MD a lot until I discovered the Delaware beaches. If boardwalk nightlife and skill cranes are an absolute, positive must have, Ocean City is your best opportunity. If the beach is the primary attraction, can't beat a Delaware beach. I rent a place in DE and enjoy the beaches there and will travel down to Ocean City for a night of the boardwalk.

Collateral is Michael Mann's second best movie behind Heat. I'd say it's probably one of Cruise's top acting performances. I too thought Valkyrie was a good movie. I think McQuarrie is a pretty good director.

Not the same article but they are writing about the same report. In the world of possibilities, if the Russians invaded Europe today, the German Army's performance would match it's World Cup soccer team performance.

By what measure? Their military issued a report last month that stated in 2017, there were no transport planes or submarines available for deployment and the condition of their planes, tanks and helicopters as "dramatically bad." I think it was a BBC article. Same article said they showed up to NATO training exercises with broomsticks instead of rifles due to supply and repair issues. I know they have significant issues with their small arms. Their HK G36s are complete garbage, as are their small unit MG4 and MG5 LMGs. I understand they may have land size and personnel advantages but they've got no equipment to fight with if they needed to.

One of the few things Trump has been right on from the start is the current condition of NATO and its European freeloaders. Those guys have been getting the discounted lunch for a long time. Most of those central European militaries would fall within a month if there were a conventional land war. It'd be the Fins and Norwegians skiing to the rescue in Paris. As an aside, considering Germany's military history, the country's rich history of technological innovation and the Western investment into that country post World War II, it is sad to see their military in such poor shape. They should be the alpha in that region.

I'll probably see Mission Impossible because the story seems decent and they've been doing better with the villains. The first Equalizer exceeded my expectations so I'll probably see Denzel's first sequel ever. (True story.) The Purge story could have been so much more. It's a concept that screams for somebody like John Carpenter to do in his prime. (My question about the Purge: If all crime is legal for 12 hours, why aren't you pulling a gigantic bank heist or stealing everything not bolted down?)

It amazes me that the fringe on both sides still gets anxious over Roe v. Wade in 2018. The Supreme Court isn't going to touch that case ever again, regardless of who is on it. They aren't in the business of overturning one of their own decisions. It'd be like rewriting a chapter of the Bible to "reflect modern viewpoints."

Yes - only because I have significant food allergies that robs the enjoyment of eating. Dining out? Forget it unless it's straight up meat on a grill with vegetables. Finding food items that do not have soy or tree nuts is difficult. Whole Foods carries some.

"Noah's original hand crafted ark?" "Best I can do is five dollars...."

Interesting news about Babylon 5. I had no idea that he felt that Paramount stole the concept. Straczynski had a relatively dark concept for a cartoon back in the 80s called "The Spiral Zone" that was probably too ahead of its time since the 80s had their fill of the apocalypse with movies like The Day After, Threads, etc.

The smoldering tire fire that runs the Titans will use this poll in some report supporting their "need" to relocate to a city that is more profitable that loves them. I feel bad for the Rams. No matter where they go or what they do, nobody loves them. That team went to two Super Bowls in the early 2000s, winning one, and still relocated. They show up in Los Angeles and are competitive, with names and talent....and still place #31st. Surprised the Chiefs score so low.

You can feel the breeze generated by neurologists nationwide shaking their head left to right in unison. Sure he can run fast - but for every 15 years after the age of 24, cognitive speed drops by 15%. Memory, reasoning, information processing speed and accuracy at his age is a shadow of what it was when he was playing in the 80s, probably even since he last played in 2004. Add those deficiences on top of getting your bell rung from a good hit and it's likely he'd be back in the huddle not knowing why he's there.

Speaking of space shows, why hasn't anybody tried to remake Babylon 5?

I think it'd need to be almost *strangely* interactive with Buffalo Bills - famous and not so famous. You'd need to treat all Bills players as the family and have more than the standard autographs and booths and it couldn't be just about football. You'd need more than Thurman and Bruce. You'd need some evvveryone. So here are some ideas off the top of my head...
