Are you sure? I have Spectrum in Rochester. It's not on anymore.
Looks like I have WNED out of Buffalo. Its still on Monday at 8pm through Spectrum in Buffalo. I watch it every Monday to try and slow down before I nod off.
When I look up the WXXI station out of Rochester it still shows Antiques Roadshow at 8pm on Mondays. Does Spectrum Rochester have PBS? Its Channel 3 here.

Damn he's f'd. No way he ever recovers that money unless he goes on to sponsor the meds he was taking.
He's made close to 1.5 million dollars a touchdown in the NFL. He will be more than fine with his 148 million dollars.
For comparison, Josh Allen has been paid 513,000 dollars per touchdown. Mahomes 589,000.
Bills have done pretty well for themselves.

Really have to normalize the data to fully understand the comparison (click below). I dont think anyone would argue that Lamar isnt on Mahomes or Allen's level, but he isnt as far off as the raw data originally posted would have you think. He is on par with both Mahomes and Josh when it comes to total yards, the issue is the high number of interceptions in comparison to his average touchdown output. Josh and Pat are nearly identical when it comes to averages, but Id argue where the difference shows up is when it comes to being clutch. Brady was better than Pat in head to heads, Mahomes is better than Allen.
Lamar is a fine quarterback. He sells a lot of jerseys.

Both guys are emotionally immature jerks. Both need to grow up.

He wasn’t #1 in the nation because there was a narrative that he spilled seeds too often.Little known fact Patrick Mahomes was actually the #1 FFA student those years.

Reid coached an amazing game in the second half. Hats off to him.
He's coached football for longer than I've been alive and I'm middle age. He's coached in the NFL for over 30 years and called plays for 25.
There is a lot to be said about experience, he's been through almost every situation you can in football.
Unfortunately in today's culture and NFL everyone wants a fast payoff.
It took the guy 20 years as a head coach to win a Superbowl. At least part of that first victory was due to what he learned losing 4 conference championships and 1 Super Bowl before he got one.

Mahomes is the best QB in the league without question. If you think he is the same Mahomes he is today without Andy Reid you don't understand the game. He threw a beauty of a ball to win the game. The play design was also a thing of beauty.

On a play call you have progressions to follow. You know this, right? Shakir was progression #1. Diggs was #3 or #4.
I've played or coached football for a 3rd of my life. I understand how the game works.

Yeah that is how play calls work.
Yes, and on a play call you have multiple options. Not every wr ran routes to the end zone.

McDermott made Bass hook it right?
Yes, and he made Allen throw to the end zone multiple times.

Whatever happens we should know very soon. They need to restructure contracts to have money for free agency and the draft. If he isnt restructured he is likely on his way out. If he is, he will be here.

If Lamar wins it will be the second time he has won it over Josh with half the stats. Does anyone actually buy Lamar as MVP?
No, but if enough national media people say it then people start to believe it. The guy with the most touchdowns in the league this year wasnt voted into the Pro Bowl. NFL awards, and accolades are an extension of the NFL's hype machine, they dont need to be based in fact. They only need to help sell jerseys.

Had the pleasure of listening to Schumer say Trump supporters are stringing this along to cause chaos. Do we so soon forget who caused the real chaos? Sickening.

Is it your position that if one steals $X million and then makes $Y in interest off the stolen $X, the thief should be entitled to keep $Y after they rightfully pay back $X?
I disagree quite a bit.
It is not my position. But nowhere in the article did it say Favre made the interest off of the money he took. The article actually said nothing about where the figure came from. Only that in their opinion he owed interest on the original amount.
My guess, is the interest they are speaking about was based on a percentage they came up with or the Value of the money from when he originally took it to the point he paid it back. Maybe it was even based on his net worth from one point in time to another. We don't know that because it was never explained.
Personally I feel like paying the amount he took is fine. Especially when the United States legal system has set a precedence when it comes to corporations, PPP loans for the rich etc where they feel like multiple million dollar debt can be forgiven. Where do you think that money comes from?
We can all throw our hands up about Favre because we can put a face to it. But believe me, large corporations and government officials rob us way more than some washed up football player ever will. It's a farce.

My kids basketball team played Newfane the other day. One of the kids on Newfane looked right at the ref and yelled "what the f" not the clean version. Ref did nothing.
The kid ran down to the other end of the floor, threw my kid to the ground during a jump shot attempt. Then screamed at him "you're not him!" That prompted multiple chest bumps from his teammates.
I've coached youth and high school sports for 15 years but I've had it. The kids have become entitled jerks and it's easy to tell where they get it from when you speak to the parents.

Yeah Shady defended it well, but it's just an awful way to have guests on a podcast that when they're about to bring up something that they'd have cool insight into, they were talking about QBs being cool but most having a bit of nerd in them or something and talking about Cousins, Dack, and Vick. Shady tries to say something about Josh and Edelman ***** derails it into this tired debate we hear everywhere.
Did he drop a fatman TD pass at some point?
Agreed there. I was more interested in hearing why Shady didnt think Allen was a nerd, than having to hear another debate about whether he turns the ball over too much.
5 minutes ago, Low Positive said:How is his “recklessness” a reason that he “can’t beat Mahomes?” He doesn’t turn the ball over in the playoffs. Maybe Josh should take some more rusts in the playoffs.
I think they are seen as separate issues. However, I think the margin for error is so small in the NFL that you could argue if Josh takes the check down instead of gunning for the endzone in the latest Chiefs game there may be some sort of correlation.

Met some of my Russian colleagues at a work event today and of course Putins’ war in Ukraine came up. They said no one in Russia supports this war unless you are an oligarch who will benefit.
They said - Putin and his Oligarchs stole our country and most of the country is in poverty.
They warned us - keep voting for Trump and kissing Elon’s ass - they want the same thing here in the US.
Of course those on the left know that - it’s the MAGA nutters who have no clue what’s coming.
No matter who we vote for we vote for people's interests who make up 1% of the population and 95% of the wealth and land.
It's the same story since European Kings sent explorers here. If you think you're on the right side of history just because you vote Democrat guess again.

Man Edelman is awful, skipped around the video the bit about Josh to see what Shady said about him, spoiler we don't know Edelman didn't let him say what he was wanting to say and made it about what he wanted to talk about with Josh. So Shady is basically on the defensive the whole time as Edelman vomits the same old tired narrative.
I think what he brought up was apt. Yes, its the same argument a lot of people make, he's too reckless/he cant beat Mahomes (both of which are true to an extent) but I also think Shady did a hell of a job of saying why those things are excusable to an extent.
For those who aren't going to listen Shady essentially said Allen is like a modern-day Favre. He said his ceiling is so high that you will take the recklessness. I think they both agreed that no one else in the league can do what Josh does. But, Josh tends to get in his own way as well.
One of the points Shady made that few people seem to really take to heart is that championships are harder than hell to win. Patriot fans seem to think they grow on trees.

I’d rather have a blindfolded Josh Allen than a wide-eyed Daniel Jones.
Whoever made that statement obviously has a sore ass that Buffalo let them go.
Ill post a link to that as well, but Beasley was on the Shane Gillis Podcast earlier this week. He said he text Beane to come back when he left the Giants and Beane said "Ill keep you in mind." I have no doubt its Beasley.

Question for anybody that follows the NBA...
in Off the Wall
Posted · Edited by thenorthremembers
It depends on how you look at it. I don't think anything has really happened to them. They are still 3rd in the Eastern Conference. They needlessly moved on from Mike Budenholzer who was a hell of a head coach because they weren't winning the title every year. It was change for the sake of change.
I think they hired Adrian Griffin thinking adding he and Dame would turn the Bucks into world beaters but it looks like the players didn't care for the guy so he is out.
They will still make the playoffs and likely win a series but Doc Rivers is an overrated coach anyways. It's the NBA the players run the show. They should have never moved on from Budenholzer.
One quick thing on the NBA. I am not sure any professional sports league does a better job with their All Star game presentation. All Star weekend is a hell of a lot of fun.
