to me, it's not even just about him "sympathy eating." You can combat that somewhat with working out or eating better when he's not with her during her cravings or whatever. It doesn't look like he was doing much training. If he was, the extra late night fast food or whatever they were getting wouldn't show up as much. Hes accountable for diet and workout regimine during offseason. Can't blame lack of training on her.
This is my thought exactly. If you feel the need to have a snack with your wife at midnight fine, but make sure to get out the next day and work it off.

Lebron came up big over the whole series, but in stretches of game 7 he really seemed hesitant for some reason. Aside from the obvious 3 at the end, Irving won that game for them with his play esp in the 3rd quarter IMO - he was unbelievable.

offseason work is limited due to the stupid CBA. once the season starts, no more time for teaching the basics and changing players approach... its all recovery and prep for the next opponent... teams with new coaching staffs are screwed bc not much time exists to get new schemes put it. anyone familiar with this knows last year was going to be tough and it would take another off season to get everyone on the same page... heck , TT was allowed to use about 1/3 of the playbook. they just don't get nearly the practice time they once got . and all you haters want Rex to be fired and start this new coach/schemes merry go round all over again? crazy talk.
I'm not a hater - it just seems incredible to me that coaching seemed to fail so badly last year on basic things like getting guys to give full effort and have communication such that practices were not so silent "you could hear a pin drop". This has nothing to do with schemes or amount of prep in OTAs - it's among the most fundamental things a coach from little league on up is responsible for.
-
All this talk we've been hearing about how communication is so important to this defense - I assume they will have hand signals etc but if it is in fact so critical now - wonder if crowd noise when the defense is on the field could actually not necessarily be a good thing now?
Also don't understand what the coaches were doing last year when guys were not communicating or trying - how seriously were they addressing those issues. If they were aware and focused on it they weren't very effective

i just watched episode 4 and that start of episode 5...if it's not clear already, the lengthy exploration of the injustices black people in L.A. endured for decades provide critical context for the equally unjust verdict. in case you forgot, the jury ignored the evidence and freed OJ as an act of rebellion.
Yes - but the point myself and some are making is that the lengthy exploration that was done in episode 2 could have been not so long (even half as long IMO) and still could made the point very clearly and effectively to provide the context later. Honestly after continuously being beaten in the head about the race issue for the first hour of that episode, and then proceeding to be beaten for another hour in the second (where is OJ?), I was questioning the agenda of the filmmakers. The point was made, but they just kept beating on it for 2 hours.
-
Thought part 3 was better than Part 2. I do get that in Part 2 they were setting up how important the whole race issue was to the climate at the time and ultimate judgement, but to me they really beat the race issue into the ground and could have still made their point in about half the time - would have rather seen more about OJ during that time. Also wish they had spent more time on him as a kid and growing up.
Seeing those old clips of OJ running and him being so handsome and charismatic really took me back to the days when me and all my little friends used to absolutely worship him. There's a whole generation today (including my kids) who can never really understand what huge deal OJ was (especially to a kid growing up in the 70s in Buffalo) and how absolutely unbelievable it was to see friggin OJ accused of murder.
Am I the only one who can't get the image of John Travolta and his catterpillar eyebrows out of my mind every time Shapiro is on the screen

This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. And love this one: "And the Bisons are promising scoreboard videos featuring some of sports greatest cheaters, with special video tribute to Patriots coach, Bill Belichick." Lol

Watkins says he doesn't know timetable for recovery from foot surgery. Not sure if he'll be at #Bills camp.
Also said it was a hope when Sammy directly said it was coming off tomorrow.
Sammy Watkins does not rule out being ready for Bills training camp. "Hopefully," he said.
#Bills Sammy Watkins says stress fracture (foot) was detected as part of normal evaluation... Doesn't know when it happened. @wgrz
How do you break a bone in your foot and not know how/when it happened?

Interesting tidbit about how Rex said last year's team didn't have anyone from his previous teams to be able to let the players know they could come to him. First I got the impression that Marrone ran the team the opposite way, where the players only ever came to the position coaches with issues and the position coaches brought to th HC . Not uncommon. But it was an indirect comment on the Karl Dunbar firing. I have a feeling that the players were expressing issues they had to Dunbar, and Dunbar wasn't telling Rex, and then by the time he found out it was too late. I could be wrong, but that was what i thought when j read that part.
I get what you're saying - but honestly, how out of touch would Rex have had to have been to not see the discontent and disconnect the players had with the defense that was right in front of his face. We all saw it on our couches from miles away.
Anyone catch the irony of this part:
VRENTAS: Were you forced to run a different system?
ROB: No, I’m not going to say I was “forced.” I advanced the plan to the best of my ability. All of a sudden, we let some good players go; we changed the system after we finished fourth in the league in defense. I don’t know, it just seems strange to me.

All the guy meant was it's unnatural for humans to be purposely and continuously smashing into each other at high velocity. It's been said a thousand different times before. One thing yesterday showed me was who the real journalists are, and who the thin-skinned butt-hurt, unimaginative whiny bitches are. I wish they would take their pens and go home.

I don't get the outrage. The Bills/Doctors didn't miss anything. They knew the shoulder was injured, but were betting on it lasting through this season, then were planning on getting it taken care of next offseason. He was going to be a starter if he was on the field, which was the plan. Where is the problem in saying that? They never felt it was a career ending injury, and felt he was a special player long term (even at the risk of him missing some time short term due to the injury). I fail to see how this all adds up to the Bills doctors and front office being morons and incompetent.

The 6-3 Cleveland game. Memorable as worst football game ever played (and the one game I came up for that year
) -
My how the Dolphin rivalry has fallen - Bronze for the Fish. Also, am I missing something or are the Club seat prices not on there?

I know I'll probably get lambasted for this, but why are you all so sure that he committed the crimes he was accused of? Do you all have more information than the jury was privy to? I watched that trial from start to finish and I wouldn't have convicted if I were on that jury and it had nothing to do with me being a Bills fan. There were so many questions and holes in the story. The cops were convinced O.J. did it right from the beginning and therefore did not follow up on leads like the two guys dressed all in black running through the neighborhood...spotted by neighbors just moments after the crime; they didn't interview O.J.'s eldest son who was not only mentally disturbed, had a history of violence, worked as a chef so would carry his set of knives with him to and from work, but he was also in love with Nicole and had no alibi for the time of the murders; they handled the blood samples improperly (the cop took them home with him overnight!); at least Furman (if not others on the police force) had it in for O.J. due to prior incidents; for someone to commit that crime in the brutal way they did, they would have been covered in blood from head-to-toe, yet all they found were a couple of drips on a sock and a couple of drips in the Bronco (did anyone watch "The Making of a Murderer?"...cops planting evidence doesn't seem as outrageous in 2016 as it might have back then); and some say the way they were killed looked like a "hit" (done in a ritualistic manner or mafia-style); yet not one other suspect was ever thought of---they didn't look into Ron's life at all, what if someone was after him not Nicole, no, they just zoomed in immediately and solely on O.J.; the only thing connecting O.J. to the glove was Kato's testimony (a mooching, actor who wanted the limelight) and even with that, he said he heard something but he didn't see anything, plus that back alley was searched a couple of times before the glove magically appeared on I believe the third search...I could go on, but you get the point.
Anyhow, I don't know for a fact one way or the other if O.J. committed the murders, or didn't but helped cover them up, or had nothing to do with them. But there were mountains of reasonable doubts for me. Let's face it, because of the media coverage, O.J. was convicted in the court of public opinion before the trial even started. That's the sad part of American justice these days. It is almost impossible to have a fair trial in a high profile case because everyone has already made up their minds before seeing all of the evidence. I don't know what happened, but neither does anyone else who wasn't there and yet most of this country takes it as 100% fact that he did it despite all of the holes in the prosecution's (and the police's) stories/case. Why?
I know this probably won't convince any of you otherwise...I guess I've just had this issue on my chest for a long time and this seemed like the right time and place to finally let it out. Sorry...and Flame away!
Anyhow, to the topic, regardless of whether O.J. did it or not, I agree with those who say you can't erase history. And if you eliminated the work of anyone who might have been an unsavory character, or corrupt, or committed a crime, or who thought differently from you, etc. our history books would be pretty slim and you would have to give up most of your heroes (be they musicians, artists, writers, politicians and state leaders, actors, directors, CEOs, athletes, etc.).
And, yeah, as far as the team goes, for PR reasons due to public opinion, I would leave it status quo as others have said. Don't retire it and don't issue it
I honestly believe that at some point OJ might have been at the scene (possibly after the fact), but that his son actually committed the murders. There was some investigator who used to have a video on youtube that had some very convincing evidence/arguments that the son did it. My kids laugh at me when I say OJ is innocent, partly because they are from a generation where OJ is synonymous with murderer (I bet there are a lot of people today who think that he was convicted, not found innocent)

No way. One of the best ever. Point.blank Period. I'm betting most of the people who vote yes never lived through his heydey or saw him play live.
Besides, his son did it.

I switched my primary card to a Fidelity Amex. I believe it is 2%. It converts the points to money that it deposits into a Roth IRA account.
+1 on the Fidelity cash back card - the money (2%) gets deposited to your Fidelity account which you can then transfer to brokerage accounts, 529, IRA etc.
FYI - it looks like it's transitioning from AMEX to Visa this year - just saw this
