I would have to say "A Chef's Life" on PBS that follows Vivian Howard's NC / Southern cooking is one of the easiest to watch. It's down-home and really well-produced. "Mind of a Chef" on the Netflix is really good for topics and I enjoyed the first chef that was featured on it with the ramen and Japanese influences of his heritage. "Chef's Kitchen" is really artsy and more personality / ambiance driven than about the actual food, but it is visually beautiful. I don't have pay-TV so I can't rate any of the Food Network shows and such, but when I have seen ones like that where it's competition and judges and whatnot, I just don't like that. The ATK and Cook's Country ones are really helpful for the aspiring home cook to learn some new techniques. And while I don't hate Chris Kimball as the host, I don't really miss him either.

Which model of antenna do you have? I'm pretty dubious of set-tops with amplifier. If that doesn't work, there are many more tricks in the OTA bag. I'm in Northeast CT and get Boston, Providence and Hartford stations.

The big Willy Wonka Gobstoppers. Only ones these days are the small ones in the boxes.

OK, well that just adds to the QB class to pick from. Lamar Jackson. Haven't had any caffeine yet.... We're in nowheresville until we have a franchise QB and I'm sorry to say that isn't TT. Really wanted it to be him but it's just not.

Darnold was a freshman this season, yes? Not eligible to declare next season. You know... I'm not completely averse to this. Tank the season with Cardale / find out what his ceiling is, and then have a top pick --- if not THE top pick in what some are saying is a very good QB draft. Colts did it to get Luck. Lamar Alexander, anyone?

Deepest condolences, NG.

Majors tennis has become so much more watchable as I've aged and drifted away from other sports. These guys and ladies work their buns off and it's just them out there, no one else to blame, in a game that hasn't changed all that much since Renaissance times (I may be one of the few who kinda misses the players curtseying to the royal box at Wimbledon). Rarely do you hear about off-court troubles. Nadal and Federer really do seem like two of the nicest guys you'd ever meet. I was pulling for a Fedal final and am glad they're getting another chance at playing each other. HD and Hawkeye have helped make tennis so much better. The AO is a little difficult with the timezone difference, but for the past several years I often wake at 3-3:30 a.m. for whatever reason (well... grief, probably) and putting on the ESPN3 app has been as good a time-passer as anything else at that hour.

No doubt --- and I mean there is NO doubt! --- that the NFLPA has a finger in this stuff to give a tap to guys who are up for U/FA so they can give a little boost to guys who will "raise the tide" so to speak. It is completely a fluff game and should be ended.

Or, as Michael Herr wrote in "Dispatches": “Those who remember the past are condemned to repeat it too, that’s a little history joke.”

Atrocious. If Lynn is hired, that's the sign that they will be tanking next season to blow everything up and pick the Louisville QB.

Sorry, but you have to be full-blown Commie to get a gig in the Berk.

Cafe Fellatio: Where all the women swallow.

Akin to Martha Stewart teaching her jailmates how to knit, etc., perhaps Phil will provide driving lessons and correct his cellmates' swing form?

Well that changes EVERYthing!!!! But seriously, if you don't want to do it anymore either for time or non-compensation mixed in with liability, I'd do what mrags said above. Only, I'd just go the hose-mender route because that's a cheaper fix.

I don't understand why they don't try to do vinyl coverings for an alternate helmet design/colors like I've seen done on cars. Easier to do and undo than paint. Not sure why no one's tried it.

My father is a USPS substitute carrier. Do you know how many papercuts you get when you handle that much mail? After the 9/11 and anthrax stuff, they were provided latex gloves, which would routinely rip/tear after maybe 30 minutes and cause all kinds of annoyances because carriers often need that fine tactile ability that gloves really get in the way of. So... he gets some papercuts. This is a different situation, but still, if it were bleeding *that* profusely... that's something that one should notice and put a freaking band-aid on.

Talk about a crazy game of poker....

"I'd better not challenge these catches. Don't want to show-up the refs...!"

Is it only me who sees the shoulder pads on these guys and they now maybe they should be a little thicker or extend a little more?

Haven't logged on this week, but I'm now offering my belated best wishes and prayers for Bill and your entire family. Encouraging news. Let's keep that coming!

I watched the BBC feed of Wimbeldon on the ESPN3 app this year. They went large segments without talking. It was flippin' GREAT!!!! "Don't talk unless you think you can improve the silence."

Everything should be reviewable. Same number of challenges, but make everything reviewable by the NY league office.

Uh-ohhhh!!!

I dunno. Some guys just REEEEALLLY like their chickens.... #Gonzo I visited east TN in the spring and it was really beautiful. It's high on my list of possible destinations when I finally get out of CT.... hopefully within a year or two. But, maybe I'll stick to the less rural areas...!!!
