  1. I think this will be a good move for CBS..I really like Norah. I think she smells BS on both sides. Good column here from Margaret Sullivan..another solid Buffalo native! https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/time-to-shake-things-up-norah-odonnell-takes-over-at-ratings-challenged-cbs-evening-news/2019/07/10/6b0d8204-a33b-11e9-b732-41a79c2551bf_story.html?utm_term=.93e21c262d38 BTW, i am only speculating here..but Norah lives full time in DC, her husband is Geoff Tracy who has a chain of Chef Geoffs restaurants in DC, one in Dulles BTW..and has three kids i believe. Sure moving to DC was big win for her. just as an aside, Chef Geoffs is an upscale Fridays in my mind, not a huge fan!
  2. damn Augie..no not that Sarah..think way smaller and how you made phone calls for the first 10 years of your life. https://mayberry.fandom.com/wiki/Sarah BTW, was your girlfriend called Juanita?
  3. Those damn phones and making everything in the world easier and more secure. I am sure if you dial zero, get Sarah on the horn, she can connect you to someone who can help. BTW, me thinks lots of things "give you problems" (bonus if you know who Sarah is) BTW, mine came last week..nice magnet!
  4. i do too....what is interesting and i have no clue the answer...what telecast draw larger audiences and thus bigger TV contracts in non World Cup games. I think a lot of folks prolly like me..watch the World Cup, yes..but friendlies and qualifiers? Not so much unless its win and your in and lose you are out. as you mentioned above..i think separating them would be great as well..then no whining from either side. Maybe there is a reason that can't be done?
  5. my statement had nothing to do at all if they should be paid more or less etc..it was simply the article from the National Review is disingenuous.and tries to make the Womens equal pay fight all about World Cup earnings, and only World Cup earnings..and that is just flat out wrong. Both sides of the media unfortunately slant things they way they want . The mens and womens team are on completely different pay structures..salaries and bonus for women vs strictly bonuses for men etc...there will be lawyers and laws involved that have nothing to do with revenue generation unfortunately.
  6. Dude, you realize the "equal pay" is about more than strictly what each team is paid in the World Cup (as this article wants to make it be)???? Read the article on the entire pay structure..it was vert enlightening
  7. lot more to the pay structure than world cup revenue..this is very disingenuous...here is a fantastic article with facts , was very enlightening to me https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/07/08/are-us-womens-soccer-players-really-earning-less-than-men/?utm_term=.2503e10ce94c And I am with @The Senator, Rapinoe especially, but the whole team starting to get a little full of themselves
  8. TPegs has the money flow..no issue. Spanos not so much. I am actually surprised do not hear this more with Bengal draft picks
  9. Offset is not the only negotiating point..timing of the bonus matters a ton too. Older Bosa argued over offset true, but Chargers wanted to pay signing bonus over installments..i think 3 payments over the course of the year but i could be wrong there. May not seem like a big deal...but think of $18 M or whatever and what that earns in a year..it matters quick search yielded this https://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/08/the-joey-bosa-chargers-contract-dispute-explained
  10. the streams just scare me from a reliability standpoint..4th quarter tight game..i don't want to be hunting down another stream. May not happen often, and it may be just me not understanding how far they have come...but remember a couple years ago trying to watch a preseason game on a reddit stream...bad experience
  11. thats a great idea..I am not quite sure what you mean by an android box..care to help us elderly folks out?
  12. just like in his regular businesses, Trump trying to not pay the bills again...but aint no declaring bankruptcy pal...pay da man ees money!! https://www.yahoo.com/news/dc-mayor-trump-july-4-salute-to-america-183212934.html
  13. Opponents of Trump trying to fight him on the economy will be toast..lose all credibility with folks like me. As you know, the one statement Trump made during his campaign i agreed with 100% ,
  14. shoot, we used to ski a mile or so from the Falls just about everyday in the 70's! But no dropping a ski!!!!current starting to get pretty juicy there! Would run all over the upper river just south of the GI Bridge in a sunfish as well ...never any worries. Says his sister BTW..yikes!
  15. Hmm, used to be could only stream if for some reason you could not get a dish to work. Now that they have a streaming service, maybe you can stream only. Having said that , I do not believe you can buy stand alone Sunday Ticket unless you are a student, but again I can be wrong there. Will hunt it down. I have conventional DTV and SR maz package, as well as the app on Firestick..on Sundays I have two TVs on the porch..one hooked up to dish box, one just uses Firestick so Bills on one TV and Redzone on the other just a hint, if you are going to threaten to cancel, kindly point out to them Sling costs $40 a month all in, including DVR, and (for most) your equipment charges alone are more than that now. That is theur soft spot..not the content..that costs about the same anywhere..it the delivery method and hard wired equipment that is their competitive disadvantage now.
  16. Or, you go to a game that actually might be fun as opposed to the Sabres and see the Preds crush the Wings .....in person. This is my choice and already have tickets! 81 more nights to watch the Sabres lose on TV I have never been, but i see more of a bar tailgaiting scene than a lot tailgating scene...but that is entitely a guess
  17. Just curious how you know this about Nylander? You watch a lot of Amerks games on the inter webs?
  18. hmm, i dunno bout that..unless deal worked out beforehand..if that is even doable under the CBA. Plus i think they really want a 2c, not a winger
  19. This is from the Hawks beat writer for the Athletic just this morning on rumors on this trade https://theathletic.com/1068059/2019/07/09/heylaz-mailbag-what-are-the-blackhawks-doing-with-henri-jokiharju/ the comments to this tweet are gold another good tweet..have no clue who this dude is though
  20. Ya know, this guy would cost noting to bring in pre- camp on a tryout, and after all we got an organization that just drafted a coach defying coat wearing wearing malcontent so talent is obviouly more important to this team now...and it seems to me he did nothing wrong, cop had a Napoleon complex looked to ,me I say all before post 12..i win...pay the man ees money!
