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...

That paywall was a fool's errand. Plenty of case studies nationwide that would have told you that half measure wasn't going to get close to meeting those wildly optimistic expectations.

Exactly. I understand that she may not be universally liked but the hatred towards her from other women - namely Michelle Wolf and now a female entrepreneur, seems entirely counter productive to "the" cause of equality and hell, even tolerance.

The irony is that in depth exploration of the last days of the sports desk at the news is content I'd pay for. It was unique content, full of detail. Excellent writing.

She will be out of business within the year. She's now made herself a magnet for Trump supporters, and not the calm, let's have a civil debate sort. I think the hate for Sarah Sanders is a bit ironic. Smart woman, in a position of power, and those that spent decades complaining how there aren't any women in power....unhappier than ever. Woman on woman crime. Go figure.

I was of the belief that Alvin Bowen, drafted in the 5th round in 2008, was going to be a blue chip linebacker for the Bills. He got injured and wasn't able to put any career together in the NFL or CFL. I was on board with the Bills firing Wade Phillips but later came around to seeing it as what ignited the streak. In some alternative dimension, I think a Wade-led team keeps the Bills competitive in the early 2000s and we avoid the Gregg Williams nightmare.
