I saw Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom today. I liked it, but the last movie was better. Definitely not what I was expecting, and I see what you mean about this movie having a dark ending, but the other stuff involving Maisie was disturbing as well. Why was Jeff Goldblum in this movie? There are some ridiculous moments in this movie, but that's not exactly new with this franchise. I'm fine if they make more. Dinosaur movies are a good thing. Yes, definitely a cue from the recent Planet of the Apes trilogy.

Week 1: Auburn Vs. Washington. This is a very intriguing game. Big on a national level for both teams. Jarrett Stidham Vs. Jake Browning. Game is in Atlanta. Louisiana State Vs. Miami. Are the Hurricanes for real? Can the Fighting Tigers still win big games like this? We'll see. Game is in Arlington/Jerry World. Notre Dame Vs. Michigan. The old rivalry continued. Huge game for both teams. That is unless if Brian Kelly sees this as just a "regional rivalry". Florida State Vs. Virginia Tech. Big early conference game. Tennessee Vs. West Virginia. Big game for both teams. They may not be preseason Top 25, but this game could be important in the long run. Especially if the Mountaineers can win in Knoxville. Week 2: Stanford Vs. USC. Another big early conference game. Texas A&M Vs. Clemson. May not be as big a game on a national level. However, it is a road game for the Tigers in a very raucous environment. Arizona State Vs. Michigan State. Spartans travel to the desert in a late night game. Never an easy trip. Week 3: Auburn Vs. Louisiana State. Yet another big conference game. Texas Christian Vs. Ohio State. On paper the Buckeyes should not have a difficult time in this game. It is in Fort Worth, and the Horned Frogs will be up for this. So we shall see.

I have to disagree with you on this. Pixar has made quality stuff even after Disney bought them. You already mentioned "Wall-E", but there is also "Ratatouille" which I thought was a very clever movie. "Up" is absolutely brilliant, and "Toy Story 3" should have won the Oscar for best picture. Let's not forget the recent "Inside Out" or "Coco", both very good and creative movies. Yes, not everything has been a home run. "Brave" was good, but had potential to be great. "The Good Dinosaur" was a misfire, "Finding Dory" was good, but I thought it was an unnecessary sequel and I am not a fan of the "Cars" series. Overall Pixar delivers, even after Disney bought them. Alright, my mistake, I didn't quite catch on to that. So have you seen "Incredibles 2" yet?

You both know that "Frozen" is NOT a Pixar movie, right?

Did you enjoy it? I haven't seen it yet, and the overall reviews have been average.

That's not a severed head.

Why?

They have Drew Lock & Clayton Thorson as the first two QB's being drafted and in the Top 3?!

Here's a great example of one...

He was wordy, but he wasn't boring. Neat analysis. Can't wait to see our secondary this season.

So by that logic saying Soda or Pop is both the correct answer?

So are you saying that you use both words?

Saw "Incredibles 2" last night, and it was very good. It was a welcome sight to see these characters again. There isn't much originality this time around, as this movie shares quite a few similarities with the first film, and that's a little disappointing. Still, there are some great action sequences, fun new characters and some good laughs as well. The first trailer had me concerned that this movie would just be a carbon copy of the first film, and in some ways it is. Thankfully, it does have it's fresh moments and it's a joy to see these characters going through their own personal issues and being superheros. I hope that Disney/Pixar will continue to give us more adventures with The Incredibles.

Not surprised one bit. Filthy Dodgers fans. Although I've heard many stories of what it was like at Candlestick Park. There were always fights between Giants and Dodgers fans. I don't know if it's as prominent at AT&T Park now, but the hate is still there.

The most heated rivalry in baseball is still Dodgers-Giants, and there is probably no bigger brawl in baseball than this one... https://www.mlb.com/video/marichal-roseboro-brawl-examined/c-409390583

I actually do too. That logo has a lot of detail, and is far more creative than the current one. And it turned out looking more like the wicked witch of the west's soldiers from The Wizard of OZ. There was a period of time when Gillette Stadium would play that war chant the soldiers made. It was quite funny.

That's great. How ironic that we make it there the same year. I am also thinking about making this a once a year trip, but we shall see.

Even the police chase scene at the end?

Since I will be there for a short time, a trip to Canada is highly unlikely. I may not even get to do the Falls, I don't even have a passport. Saturday I may just end up watching a lot of college football. So I may just look for a sports bar and spend most of my day there. If I don't end up seeing any of the sights, that's fine. My purpose in going is to see the Bills at a home game.....and to go to Hammer's Lot. qwksilver, thank you for the food suggestions. That is another topic I would like to address to everyone here. I don't care for wings and I'm not a drinker. Further proof that I am not originally from Buffalo. I do love good food. So where in Buffalo can I get..... The best Pizza? The best Beef on Weck? The best Italian?

Thank you all for your help and suggestions. By all means, keep 'em coming. I need all the advice I can get. Jim Kelly is the reason why. I liked him as a QB when he was in college. Then he was drafted by the Bills. I paid more attention to him when he started to play for the Bills, then I started cheering for the Bills as a team. That's it.

I wasn't sure if this should be an "Off the Wall" thread or not. Mods if you feel it is, please move it there. Anyway, I'm asking everyone here for help on this year's Bills home opener against the Chargers. As some of you may know, I'm one of the unusual Bills fans that is not originally from Buffalo or any area near it. I am born, raised and living in California. While I have been to many Bills away games, I have NEVER been to a Bills home game, nor have I ever been to Buffalo. This year, I plan on changing that. Every Bills fan tells me, that if there is one game I should attend, it should be the regular season home opener. And that is what I want to do. What I need from all of you is advice and suggestions you may have on where to stay(hotels, area of the city etc.), what to see, where to eat, and how early I should get to Hammer's Lot. I plan on only being there for a short time. More likely arrive on Friday and then leave Monday. I'm not worried about getting tickets for the game. However, if anybody out there needs to share a hotel room or has room for me to join them, that would be great. So there you have it. I look forward to hearing back from you and I hope I see you all on September 16. GO BILLS!!!

RIP

I'm not a Beatles lover, nor am I a hater, I just don't know all of their music. Thankfully the topic is which is my personal favorite, so I chose the one that I heard the most often when I was growing up as a kid, which is whatever my parents played the most or which was played most often at parties we went too. That would be Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Although I do know that my parents played Rubber Soul & Abbey Road fairly often too. I just found myself liking Sgt. Pepper's more.

No doubt that the offensive line is a concern. There will be some games this year where it will be painful to watch. Hopefully Daboll & McDermott can get the right combination out there and play to their strengths.

Gee, I wonder why they've never done this before? That will look cool.
