I don't see the appeal either. It's funny that an entire country is still taking "royalty" way too seriously in the 21st Century. That being said, one comment: His brother needs to shave his head. I feel bad for him because he's the only one who still thinks he's got a fighting chance to beat his inevitable baldness. He looks 20 years older than he is by keeping the little hair he has.

The cruel irony is that the high school sweetheart he punted for this heavy drinking sociopath was probably neither a heavy drinker or sociopath. Just not blonde or rail thin. Best case scenario is that he has to pay a barge-load of alimony after a tense divorce and the kids end up being ok despite it all. Worst case scenario is where she's been drinking and has access to weapons other than her fists. Abusive people rarely de-escalate their behaviors.

I think it is nearly impossible to beat a team with four great players unless your team also has four great players. The only way GSW becomes mortal is if they get tired of winning championships and guys like Durant and/or Thompson leave the team. I think Durant's decision is a lot more important than what LeBron does in the off-season.

He's paid to produce content. So...he produces content. His editors aren't requiring the content to be reasonable or based in fact, so you certainly shouldn't.

I still find it ironic politicians will lose their minds over legalizing prostitution but are a-ok with legalizing all sorts of things related to alcohol, weed, firearms, gambling, etc. All your vices belong to us. - government

Cutting Fred Jackson. The timing of that decision infuriated me.

One of the best episodes of the series. In part, the Walking Dead shows do these standalone backstory shows quite well. John's episode is right up there with the quality of Morgan's from a few seasons ago. This episode also had no major previous season FTWD characters in it whatsoever. ?

Why do journalists/columnists write what they write? Under immense pressure to produce content. Any content. So long...as there is content. If you need five stories a week, a two decades old case about your new head coach looks inviting. That's why you have the half baked product called journalism in the Buffalo News. You can write opinion helluva lot faster than a well-researched, well-resourced article. Those take time.

The deal was worthless the day it was signed. The only ones who thought it was any sort of "deal" were Kerry, Obama and the Neville Chamberlains in Europe who were relieved they didn't have to deal with it anymore because signed paper! It's not like the Iranians stopped doing anything.

More journalism. The generic SBNation website is syndicated talk radio monologues in text, without commercial interruption. You'd think that corporate would at least require this guy to cross check it with the Bills-dedicated SB Nation writers. You know...the people that have actually stepped foot in the stadium at least once.

Whether shooting a rifle or throwing a football, years of learned behavior and bad habits takes a long time to correct. It's not something training camp is going to fix. In regards to Josh Allen, I am one of those fans concerned about the completion percentage because I think the "look at the quality of his wide receivers!" argument is fanboy excuse making. I'm ok with the pick - if Allen is successful, the Bills are too. The inaccuracy suggests that there is learned behavior and/or mechanics that require adjustment. If Allen follows an Aaron Rodgers career track, I'm sure there would be improvement. However, if he's thrust into the starting role this year, he's going to rely on those instincts and methods that have gotten him this far and that's bad news.

I don't understand what the different colors mean. The so-called villains don't seem to be armed and aren't doing anything but camping out and where does Maggie Grace get all that diesel fuel to run that beast of a truck? If you want to see Garrett Dillahunt in a memorable scene, check out the season finale of Season 1 of the Terminator Chronicles - "What He Beheld." I haven't seen an action scene shot like that before it, or since.

"Journalism is the activity of gathering, assessing, creating, and presenting news and information." https://www.americanpressinstitute.org/journalism-essentials/what-is-journalism/ I'd argue that the Buffalo News no longer employs journalists, just the same run of the mill talking heads generating opinion that have replaced all the television news. Fun question: When is the last time you read an article from either of these two gentleman that was - from start to finish - news without opinion folded into it? Again, it gets to my point about pay walls. You're not paying for news. You're paying for opinion. Two different products.

AFAIK, he has GBS without the strep complication. My purpose of posting that was to explain that Fridge may not necessarily be able to lose weight like other retired players can. The disease attacks nerves, reducing mobility and the medications used to treat it - such as long term steroid use- often encourage weight gain. Steroids in particular are often an unwanted entry into other diseases like diabetes. Not only are unable to exercise and move like you used to, but you're also putting on weight at the same time. I credit all the former players that in many regards, get healthier after playing. You're "old" in the NFL if you're 34 but in real life, you're in the younger, prime years of your life.

Fridge has GBS. Frontline treatment is corticosteroids. The combination of that disease plus that medication makes weight loss nearly impossible.

I found his decision odd. Had money in New England but better career prospects here considering he was in the free agent wilderness before the Bills signed him.

I don't care if the Buffalo News has a paywall mostly because most off the news is already out there with other sources reporting it and I can only read so many talking head opinions on the same issues. Take away the opinion pieces and they don't have a lot of unique content. Opinion and hot takes aren't news to me. As for 2BD, I've changed my bookmarks to hit the forum instead of the front page. I too find the numerous paywall articles tedious, so I skip the front page altogether and read Bills news from a variety of sources using the Google News tab.

SI couldn't decide whether it wanted to be a webpage or old-timey magazine so they limped along trying to do both. SI couldn't even find a web address that wasn't 25 characters long. The tipping point was when smart phones became mainstream and they were still teasing their magazine content via the web instead of going all in on the internet.

He's still an idiot for sh**ing where he eats. I never understand why anyone, male or female (...Nashville mayor) does it. My biggest complaints about him was not firing a lot of the hall walkers that plagued the team for years and his disastrous input into coaching hires. (Williams, Ryan)

I use it.. You can't beat the efficient delivery component of Amazon Prime. I ordered a nearly 100 lb. piece of equipment from Amazon and had it in 48 hours. Other vendors would sent that ground freight and I'd be lucky to have it inside of a week. IMO, they will use drone deliveries for rural deliveries. At some point, everyone will have a 3x3 pad/storage locker in their yard somewhere that will have an RF signal where a drone will open it up with the RFID and deposit your package. Whoever comes up with the efficient drone delivery system will be a billionaire because today it's Amazon, tomorrow it's groceries, pharmaceuticals, etc.

I'd go back to the 1990s. I miss the red helmets. I like putting the city flag on the jersey, however. That's a neat idea. I'd add that.

I joined in 2010 and one of the funnier threads was the Mario Williams saga. The wide range of emotions, spies in numerous Buffalo-area restaurants, the Bills NSA division tracking airplanes and any and every vehicle Buddy Nix may have or currently owned. Runner up would be the rumor that George Seifert was spotted at the airport. Probably the first time I saw the "OMG Jump to Conclusions mat" pulled from the closet and used.

I wear a "classic" watch. It doesn't *track* anything but time and it doesn't do anything but tell me the time.

I saw it and I thought they did a good job fitting *everyone* in this movie. Thanos makes for a compelling villain, perhaps the best of the Avengers series - he's not bad just to be bad. Since new Avengers are coming aboard, it makes sense that some have to fade away in 2019. (Ross Marquand from the Walking Dead is in this movie. You won't spot him though but he got the role based on his talent for voice impressions.) As a sidebar: How many Jurassic Park movies can they make? Every movie revolves around A) the island and B) dinosaurs on said island.

In my completely "not backed by science" opinion, I think the effect you see is from pundit overload. It's just like watching too much cable news with all the talking heads. There's so much yelling, so much contrasting opinion, it makes people irritable and makes essentially what is a a human resources decision by a billion dollar company feel so personal. We are getting beaten to death with talking head opinion on television, radio and the web, especially around the draft. THREE networks televised the NFL human resources fair. Sports talk radio and reporters are primarily in business of instigating conflict, not reporting news.
