Artful Dodger

It will be interesting to see how quickly he figures it all out. He's surrounded by some consummate professionals, including Devin Singletary who, as Josh Allen says, does everything right and gets the most of out of his talent. I believe Singletary worked out with Cook in Florida in the off season and has said he wants to provide him the same sort of mentoring for him that he got from Frank Gore. Cook has no excuse not to excel.

Hopefully they will bury him with some swizzle sticks that will bend but not break.

Yeah. They were going to call me Tiny Tim but fortunately that name was already taken.

The best screen names are when you just use the name that your parents gave you.

The punter is the player who holds for point after touchdowns.

This is the pattern with Allen. Every year, he looks back on the previous season, figures out what he can do better, and works with Jordan Palmer to improve it. Based on his performance so far this season, in the next off season he's going to struggle to find out stuff to fix.

And bright with plenty of situational awareness. He had an opportunity to score a TD, but he had the sense to go down on the 2 yard line this week. He's a smart player. Contrast this with McKenzie who failed to get out of bounds on the last play of the Miami game.

In Miami, it was 100 degrees in the shade. If they hadn't rationed his time, he might have gone onto the injured list with the eleven other starters.

Every time Joe Biden commits a gaffe, another angel gets its wings. God bless you, Jackie Walorski, wherever you are.

Very confident. The Dolphins are an improving team, but Dolphins don't do well in the cold. On a frozen windy December in Buffalo, the Bills should win handily which will negate today's game. None of the other leading contenders in the AFC look like world beaters, so the Bills still look good for the number one seed. But then, we're only three weeks into the season.

They did beat themselves. The weather didn't help. It was like the Bataan Death March out there. But Miami is also a rapidly improving team.

Everyone needs a hobby. Some people collect stamps, some people watch football games. Allen's hobby is running through and over linebackers and defensive backs.

Miniature golf course with one of those revolving windmills. 👍

Good team guy, hard worker, and mildly competent, but the offense in that 2018 wild card playoff game (Jacksonville over Buffalo, 10-3) was just so painful to watch. Taylor was 17 of 37 for 134 yards and one interception. He was injured on the last drive and replaced by Peterman. That sums him up for me.

The most important thing is that Josh Allen likes the song - this particular song is on his pre-game playlist.

This may be a bit unfair. As we saw last year in several games, Buffalo weather is not kind to quarterbacks. If he played in San Diego or Miami, he would have had a lot more passing yards.

It was a good career but his ambition to start at least one game for every team in the NFL remains sadly unfulfilled. I predict the beard will come off almost immediately and he'll be able to get through airports without being recognized.

Allen seems almost too good to be true, and yet he is. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop - this is the Bills after all - but it hasn't, and I'm starting to think it won't.

It's disturbing and frankly not something I want to think about ever again. But, then, I guess he's more of a stud than I thought.

Elon Musk is the most consequential man of his time. In a hundred years, he'll be remembered as we remember Thomas Edison and Henry Ford today. He's set up the first successful electric auto company and been largely responsible creating a couple other industries from scratch (private space flight, Ebay). He's got several other irons in the fire - The Boring Company, being one example. However, unless he figures out a way to clone himself, there's only one of him, it would be a shame to see him get diverted from more worthwhile goals such as creating a permanent presence for humans in space over something like Twitter. He must be seriously worried about the erosion of free speech to allow himself yet another distraction.

One of the problems with one party government is corruption.

It's ironic that the only thing that may keep the Democrats away from electoral obliteration this fall and in 2024 is Donald Trump's attempted takeover of the Republican Party. If he's successful, he'll drive away moderates, and the Democrats should write him a thank you note. If he's not and the Republicans put up reasonable candidates, all that will be left of the elected Democrats will be AOC and her clones in extremely safe progressive districts.

Rosen resembles a young Sandy Koufax. Maybe he's in the wrong sport.

I would never defend California, and that's a really bad policy especially because people who own electric vehicles generally have higher incomes than people driving gas powered vehicles and need the money less.
