What would instill your faith?

Are you referring to the opening credits sequence?

Late April heading to Dallas/Arlington for the NFL Draft. If John Williams has another concert at the Hollywood Bowl during Labor Day, I will be there. Sometime in September or October, going to Buffalo for the first time and attend my first ever Bills home game. I will need all the recommendations from everyone here on what to do and where to go. I'll be at Hammer's Lot for the Pinto tailgate.

Well the 49'ers have the money to do this. I'm still in the minority when it comes to the hype that Garoppolo gets. I never saw what the big deal was about him when he was coming out of Eastern Illinois, and I still don't see what the big deal is when he hasn't even played a full season. Now what is Cousins going to get?

Is "Hereditary" being released this month?

That's quite a dream. Do you think that could actually happen?

Start winning big games, and things will change. That being said, Michigan is going to be a good team in 2018.

Bills @ Ravens. The team who got into the playoffs at the other team's expense.

Go to a team that was 8-5 or go to a team that lost a nail biter in the National Championship Game.

Disappointed that Cody O'Connell was not invited. No invite for Daurice Fountain too.

This Deadpool movie was originally supposed to be out in June. Now they've placed it in May in between, "Infinity War" & "Solo". The month of May is going to be a monster for the box office.

Absolutely Not! I would sooner welcome Jarvis Landry than Gronkowski.

With Oscar nominations announced, the box office pace has slowed down. In times past, the month of February was just another month of dumping grounds for bad movies. Yet, quite recently that trend has been changing, as a few notable blockbusters have been gotten people to visit the multiplexes in droves this time of year, as a precursor to the upcoming spring season. This month has a few films that have potential to be modest to good hits. Although, there is one movie that is drawing considerable interest, as it continues a certain comic book universe. Disney & Marvel present, "Black Panther". T'Challa, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. Also starring, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Sterling K. Brown, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker & Andy Serkis.

Harpoon!

Well, good for Foles. I just get the feeling that if there was going to be a handshake by both QB's, all of the chaos and media would have parted and given plenty of space for that to happen. After all, everyone wants to see that shot and get a photo of it. Just my opinion.

This should be fun.

Was there anything or anybody stopping Tom Brady from congratulating Nick Foles?

Glad to hear this, great move by the Eagles.

Wasn't that a commercial for RAM trucks?

I saw "Get Out" this weekend and I agree with Exiled. Sign of the times & political climate is why this got nominated, which is still stupid to me. I don't think it's a terrible movie, in fact I thought it was fairly decent. Yet it has no business being nominated for Best Picture, Director, Actor or Screenplay. This got a screenplay nomination? This movie gets recognition, but "Logan" and "War for the Planet of the Apes" are ignored. Disgraceful.

So what were the best and worst commercials this year? Best: Tide: By far the funniest line of commercials. Bringing back the Old Spice guy and turning it into a Tide commercial was brilliant. NFL: Eli Manning & Odell Beckham Jr.'s dance was hilarious. Disney: The movie company was wishy-washy on whether they would debut a trailer for "Solo", but what we got was a real treat. The Infinity War trailer was very nice too. Netflix: Good trailer for their "Cloverfield" prequel. Budweiser: Water. Enlightening moment. Worst: M&M's: Red M&M turns into Danny DeVito. Completely lame. Amazon: Alexa loses voice. Nice try, but ultimately a let down. Kia: Steven Tyler. Silly T-Mobile: Babies. Condescending cultural issues. How does this make me want to buy a phone from them? We can't have the "please stand for the flag" commercial, but this one was alright. Groupon: Tiffany Haddish. This made no sense. Weirdest: Doritos Blaze/Mountain Dew Ice: Peter Dinklage & Morgan Freeman. Neat seeing the two actors, but the payoff was strange.

Exactly. Yes, Collinsworth belabored this play and how it should be called, but we saw a lot of similar plays like this during the year, that were initially called touchdowns, but were wrongly overturned. We all saw it happen to us with Kelvin Benjamin. I ask all of you, and be honest, would you have been shocked if the instant replay official would have overturned the last 2 touchdowns by the Eagles? I wouldn't have.

Let's not forget Belichick's ability to work a camera. All that aside, what you say is absolutely true. Name me one former member of the Patriots* coaching staff who has gone on to prosper and have an illustrious career in the NFL? When you lose the ability to cheat, you can no longer win.

I still like Collinsworth, but his Patriots* obsession was terrible to listen too. I hated the butt kissing of the Patriots* & Tom Brady that he was doing last night, but to be fair, which commentator out there doesn't do this? Everybody, whether it's ABC, CBS, FOX, ESPN or NFL Network, all kiss up to Brady & the Cheaters. This is not unique to Collinsworth, no matter how blatant it is. Al Michaels was kissing up too, constantly referring to Brady as "Tom". When has any announcer ever called the Patriots* out on anything?
