FWIW, when the Bills signed him, I thought they were going to transition him to safety to be part of a three-safety "big nickel" defense the Bills use. I'm not convinced he's got CB speed anymore.

...or an acute inflamatory condition. "I overdid it with the burgers at lunch. My sperodedes is going to act up."

As an aside, is your doctor prescribing anything but gabapentin for that neuropathy? In my experience, the doctors who immediately reach for that are the laziest around. It does nothing to treat the condition, only masks it.

Tom Brady is better than Aaron Rodgers. This is what they will say 20 years from now. Why? Brady was smart enough to take less money or structure his money in a way to have better teams that compete for championships year in and year out. Rodgers will be the Dan Marino of the late 10s. Great quarterback on an otherwise mediocre team that will struggle to get in the playoffs.

It is obvious to me the Bills are planning on running a new 5-TE set. I'd actually like to see that in a game.

*Never* going to happen. The team (and more importantly its lawyers) want nothing to do with the dangerous potential of a workplace incident.

I'm often amused by those who think a Clinton presidency would have been any less compromised than a Trump presidency. Dare say we might have the "luxury" of hearing about hush payments to porn stars instead of the alternative. https://dailycaller.com/2018/08/27/china-hacked-clinton-server/

I think the problems have less to do with strength and more about football smarts. The reason why Lawson and Billings had track meets on Sunday was because they were running in open space. That does fall on the players but I'd put even more blame on the coaching. The line calls are either completely wrong or the players don't understand where they need to be.

To me, it looks like the OL is completely baffled on where CIN is going, and they end up chasing the Bengals as they run into the backfield. Mills #79 completely wiffs on his block and ends up chasing his man in the first video. That's not a strength issue. That's problems comprehending zone blocking.

Why are we televising and rewarding "e-sports" now? All you're doing is taking some very vulnerable factions of society and exposing them to money and fame. We lose our minds over college kids getting paid to play NCAA football but we're all ok with a 15 year old winning $250,000 playing a video game and commentators going heavy on the criticism for all the losers. The concept of playing team sports and activities in school isn't necessarily to win them but teach kids how to handle winning *and* losing and the ups and downs. You won't win every game. Every Popsicle bridge you spent hours building in STEM won't hold 25lbs. Not every shop project is going to be a Norm Abrams masterpiece.

He's capable. Allowed only two sacks last year.

Falco. He was "huge" in Europe and had a string of decent hits in the United States (Der Kommissar, Rock Me Amadeus) in the mid 80s but I thought his best was Vienna Calling. The booze and drugs really snuffed out a lot of his potential and ultimately killed him. (Died in a car crash where he was loaded with booze and cocaine.)

Tony Gonzalez is not good at his job. I'm still amazed Fox rolls out those early-2000 robot graphics still. As an aside, Shane Black is going to regret making his Predator movie. It looks so Straight to DVD.

It depends. If your loved one has Parkinson's or Alzheimers or something similar where they need 24/7 supervision and care, those places can do it better than you and your family can. My grandfather had Parkinson's and although my parents meant well, they couldn't provide the necessary 24/7 care that required while working, while raising three children. The curse of living longer. Used to be you'd stand a good chance of checking out in your late 60s to mid 70s. Now if you retire at 65, you probably need enough resources to finance your health care until you're 90.

Definitely mixed feelings on McCain. He was a good family man and I appreciate his military service. However he should have resigned after the Keating Five scandal. I think he got away with a crime because Congress wasn't about to prosecute five well known members of their small fraternity.

I think that the offensive line is having a difficult time learning the new offense and the complete chaos is lack of communication and getting the line call correct. I think it's part coordinator to coordinator communication and you have two inexperienced centers (one who's never started, one who just joined the team.) You're asking a lot of those two men. I don't think the Bills have shown a thing on defense scheme wise. I think you're seeing a combination of experiments and evaluation. The quarterbacks are fine. I feel good about all three. Improve protection and any of these guys will do well.

I tink these OL problems chalk up to two centers having a very difficult time learning this offense. Looks like five men lost and in panic. They are zagging when the defense zigs.

Legalized prostitution isn't far off on the horizon. The government is running out of vices, drugs and things to tax and make some money on. Why have an illegal market where you spend money to police it when you can legalize it and make money? Alcohol Tobacco Firearms Pot Gambling, now with sports betting Another thing I can see the government regulating and taxing in the future: Assisted suicide pharmaceuticals.

They are athletic and quick. It wouldn't surprise me that Williams is running playbook schemes in preseason games against vanilla offenses as a way to build confidence in the players and have them run the plays with less thought, more learned behavior. That seems like a very "Gregg" thing to do.

I could wax on about all the stuff I don't like about the "modern" game but the primary reason I'm less interested... Priorities change as you get older and you choose to do different things with your Sunday afternoons and your time overall. For example, if its a beautiful Sunday afternoon in fall, there's 0% chance of me being parked in front of a television or in a bar.

By modern standards, the story is a bit lame. For 1986, the movie had a lot of big, known names, it had a soundtrack that was just as popular as the movie itself. It was also an immensely popular rental in the dawn of the affordable VHS where you had video rental stores popping up all over the place. It also had something movies at the time did not - nearly full cooperation from the US Navy so being on the deck of a carrier was like a first generation IMAX experience.

Not the most hilarious thing they presented to the public recently. They literally made ED-209 from RoboCop. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-45282805

If Mack communicated that he'd want to play for the Bills, the Bills would be foolish in not trying to swing a deal.

+1 on Kasich. Rubio was so terrified of making a mistake he often said nothing and did nothing of substance. His number one priority was covering his own ass. Nikki Haley is the female version of Marco Rubio. If in theory, the Republicans wanted to give Trump some competition, I think they'd need a businessperson like him without all the baggage and his propensity to create baggage. I don't think anybody cares about insider Washington politicos in a post-Trump era.

Nobody is taking down an !@#$ who's presiding over a good economy. It's never happened in the history of electing Presidents. I absolutely agree Trump is a mess. He tweets too much, talks too much, and if he'd spend a fraction of the energy he spends being dramatic on a real problem, he'd have a great legacy. If the majority of Americans had to choose between: Obama, good guy with eight years of a lousy economy or: Trump, not so good guy with eight years of great economy I bet Trump wins that election each time. It'd be different if Trump had an Obama era economy but he doesn't. People ask themselves one question in the booth: Am I and my family better off today than we were four years ago? The bottom line of self interest never loses. I think the one thing that is lost in this Manafort/Cohen issue is that this is how both sides behave. In an alternate reality where Hillary Clinton is President, she's being investigated just as intently. (Servers, the Foundation, etc.) It's not like America would miraculously be scandal free. )
