Ahh, a podcast. Where guys not good enough to have a radio show go to broadcast their views into nothingness. Good luck with that, Jer...

If a "modification" is done to protect a dog from injury, it makes sense. When it is done just to "preserve" someone's "ideal" version of a breed it's just stupid (and cruel). We adopted a Miniature Pinscher (no relation to the Doberman, by the way) at 6 weeks...she already had her tail docked (which bummed us out) but thankfully they didn't touch her ears. Her ears were floppy until one week one of them stood up, and within another week or two the other did the same. I think her ears look beautiful, and much better than the cropped version that seems so unnecessary. I often wonder what her natural tail wagging would have looked like. This is Kiwi. She's 15 years, 2 months, and nearly deaf, but still kicking. Still loves playing and driving us crazy. She's the second love of my life. She's also a genius -- no, really. She was one of the dogs featured on the Nat Geo Wild series "Is Your Dog a Genius" several years ago.

He was only 103? He looked at least 130... That's a hell of a long, good life.

Condolences to you and yours.

Always look forward to these.

Never saw that coming...Sullivan is such a dynamic personality.

You see, here's the funny thing -- I look at that schedule and knowing what I know right now I don't see one "guaranteed" loss. Not one. That's what happens when your football team is solid and you expect to make improvements. The Bills are currently a top 10-15 team in the NFL, with the arrow pointing up, and that means there isn't a game they can't win. I'd go over for certain. 9 wins would be a disappointment next year.

Do us a favor, bub, and find another pastime so you don't have to bring yourself down on a Bills fan forum.

No, they can't. I like what Barkley has done for Josh as a teammate, but the Bills are in real trouble if Josh is out for a couple of games. Barkley simply can't make enough NFL throws. Backup QB is absolutely a position of need this offseason.

Super Bowl III and the Baltimore Colts say hi.

I’ve posted this several times over the years, but I can’t think of a better place to be than Buffalo when the Bills win it. I’ve been to a Super Bowl and won’t go again unless it’s on someone else’s tab AND the Bills aren’t playing.

You almost have to, man. It's a part of us. The next time the Bills reach the Super Bowl I'm going to watch it the day before.

I'm not certain you understand the meaning of the word "all." Cancer is a horrible thing no matter who it hits, but this man has belittled and ridiculed so many over the course of his career it can't be a "surprise" that some wouldn't be overflowing with empathy. I hope the guy doesn't have to deal with an excruciating, painful, drawn out sickness and the end comes quickly, for both his and his family's sake. I'll never respect what he "stands for."

Looking at what Mahomes has done over his two full seasons as a starter I think it looks foolish to say you'd rather have Tre and Josh -- RIGHT NOW. I think the story has yet to be fully written, however, and suggest we come back in 2/3/5/10 years to reassess.

This is a silly post because anyone who thought the 2019 Bills were a finished product just hasn't been paying attention. They are in the midst of a progression franchises go through to become top tier. First you show you belong by hanging around in these games against top opponents. The next step is winning your share of them. I can't imagine why any Bills fan is not very excited about what has happened and what is to come.

Is that Romo and Fitz on the left?

Nah...I just saw Kyle Shanahan abandoning what worked just like in the Super Bowl a few years ago.

Well I went 3-5-1 on my props so no luck there, but I swept the board on my squares pool at work!

Just placed my prop bets: -- o4.5 combined sacks (-155) -- Defensive or ST TD will be scored (+195) -- Mahomes o299.5 passing yards (-135) -- longest FG made u47.5 (-115) -- longest TD u46.5 (-110) -- highest scoring quarter o21 (+120) -- there will be a missed PAT (+265) -- first player to score TD Tevin Coleman (+1600) -- first player to score TD Kendrick Bourne (+1400) Should be fun!

Heading to a party at friends' -- they will do it up right. He competes in BBQ competitions so I know the proteins will be solid. We'll bring a side -- my wife makes fantastic deviled eggs and I've got a couple of mini helmets to "decorate" the platter. We'll also bring wine.

I haven't looked at the sheet yet...was planning to do that today. It's definitely fun to have action on some of the prop bets during the game. Oh, and I already have 31 squares (27 unique combos) among 5 squares boards so far...and the party I'm going to will have another. LOL

No, it's not. But something for Poloncarz to beat his chest about.

I hear ya. I just feel like there are still lots of Miami fans around.

As much as I despise the Fish I wouldn't lump Miami in with that group. They're an old time AFL team with a storied history -- similar to what Buffalo went through, they are simply in the midst of a horrid drought. If they ever become reasonably competitive I think the fans will come back. But the difference between Buffalo and Miami is that even when the team stinks, folks in Buffalo don't have much else to do in the winter. In Miami there are few other options.

While I understand taste is personal, I think it's a stretch to call a woman who has made more money than god based upon her figure "gross."
