"I haven't seen the movie but I'm going to give my opinion anyway." Nolan is a [almost] universally acclaimed as one of the best directors and writers of the past 25 years but please go ahead and offer your thoughts on movies you haven't seen. It appears your thoughtfulness on Nolan is only matched by your critique of Hanks. Like all actors, Hanks doesn't always star in great films, but his performances are usually at the heart of most of the beloved and acclaimed movies of the last 40 years. Just a few: - Splash - Big This run of movies in order from 1992 to 2002: - A League of Their Own - Sleepless in Seattle - Philadelphia - Forrest Gump - Apollo 13 - Toy Story - That Thing You Do (Wrote and Directed) - Saving Private Ryan - You've Got Mail - Toy Story 2 - The Green Mile - Cast Away - Road to Perdition Then later: - Polar Express - Bridge of Spies - Sully - The Post - Greyhound - A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood For TV: - Bosom Buddies - Saturday Night Live - From Earth to the Moon (Writer Director Producer) - Band of Brothers (Writer Director Producer) - Pacific (Producer) - John Adams (Producer) Care to revise your remarks?

It was frustrating game because Vietnam barely tried to play in the US end. Vietnam essentially stacked their own end, and rarely counterattacked with numbers. Their strategy was don’t give up a bunch of goals by not really trying to score. If Vietnam sent a real attack the US would have countered with much more space.

Least concerning: Lamar Jackson. All the others can be equally bad, but I'd say Derek Carr. Not because Carr will be "bad" this year, it's because there is little reason to think he will be any better and more likely, will decline, making the remaining three years on his contract that much more painful. I do not believe in Daniel Jones, but Brian Daboll appears to. Plus, he'll have another year under Daboll and additional talent on offense. I'm not sure Giants fans will be happy there will be another three years on the contract, but I don't think they'll be depressed, either. Last, Rodgers. I do not think he'll be anywhere near MVP level again, but he won't be the reason the Jets will continue to be disappointing for the fans. Plus, the team will only have one more year on the contract and time to draft his replacement.

Everything you wrote is speculation based on speculation. It's your "feelings" - nothing is based on fact. Please provide evidence that Diggs "clearly thinks his QB is doing him wrong" or "Now Allen has to force throws his way." Or perhaps you are privy to conversations that Bills reporters have not heard.

Rebuttal: We have no idea what Diggs, Allen et al are thinking.

This is not "breaking" news, it's reporting on comments that may be second or third-hand.

Wow. Some folks seriously underestimate the breadth and depth of media coverage of the Bills. There are not only many full or nearly full-time reporters/analysts, but most are very good in their field. I'd imagine the Bills content creation is unmatched.

See y'all there

I have flown out after a 1:00PM game several times. He should have no problem. I think the biggest problem folks have is the first few miles. The key is using a parking lot to get out fairly quickly, even if it means parking a little further and even taking a more circuitous route. I've had a lot of luck along California Road. Also, quickly leaving the stadium can save a ton of time, especially after a win when folks tend to linger.

Most folks are not happy unless they're miserable.

Buffalo has one of the best press corps in the league, and not ONE reporter has hinted at this possibility. Just stop.

Im not really embarrassed, just wrong: I was convinced the Bills would resign Edmunds and I would have been very pleased. Thought the opposite of Ed Oliver.

I've been brewing for a few years and have been researching my own brewery for several years. A few things have changed: BOATLOADS OF HELPFUL INFORMATION: The internet is chockful of great beer-making advice, from simple extract brewing to very complex methods. Recipes: There are several great recipe sites that provide very detailed ingredients and steps. I highly recommend "Brewfather," which, for a few bucks, it includes printable recipes to order ingredients, "brew along" for step-by-step instructions, timers, and a few "add-ons" to keep track of your progress. There are dozens of free sites as well. Technology: Tech is a huge improvement. Most brewers have moved away from the brew kettle and glass carboys to easier-to-use (and safer) plastic fermenters, and many of the brew systems have become much more affordable and easy to use. IMO, it's worth the some investment into good tools that make brewery much more enjoyable. Some recommendations: electric brew systems, conical fermentors, web and app-based trackers for temperature and fermentation, etc. At first, the tech can seem overwhelming, but the more you brew, the more you'll say, "Ah, that would make this so much easier." Youtube and other sites: There are dozens of well-versed brewers who can provide very helpful tips, tricks, and step-by-step guides. Try a few and find the brewers that you like. For new brewers, discovering WHY something is important will ignite many "aha" moments. (See: oxidation, one of the most important and easy-to-screw-up lessons). Start simple: My advice for those getting back into brewing and teaching new brewers, start with easier recipes and ferminations. Use Single Malt and Single Hop (SMASH) recipes ales that have no dry hop additions and two-week fermentation. If a recipe does not fully explain why you need to do something, look it up. Once a new brewer understands the "why" they will faster graduate to more complex beers. If lucky enough to have one nearby, go to homebrew shop for all your needs, and sign-up for a brew-making class. No matter how many times I brew I always learn something. For on-line materials/equipment, I like MoreBeer.

To paraphrase a oft quoted tweet below, "You do not, under no circumstances, gotta give a troll 'props."

I think Kincaid's pass-catching stats may not be a great indicator of his impact this year. Snaps may be his most important stat. Other than Diggs, it's been a long time since the Bills had a second receiver who might be a threat anywhere on the field, which could put pressure on the secondary and force them to hesitate. The biggest beneficiaries of Kincaid's presence may be Diggs, Davis, and possibly Knox. If Kincaid averages 30+ snaps, then the schemes might be working. The Bills' offense might be cooking if it's more than 40-45.

This is pricey, but perhaps not a bad deal once the secondary market kicks in. Research indicates that Seat Unique is a legit company with the blessing of Manchester United, the Jaguars and good consumer report reviews. Still a better deal than the very expensive "packages." https://www.seatunique.com/sport-tickets/nfl/nfl-london-tickets/e5e6b4b0d3-9ec9f44b-c184-40d9-b8dc-5cadbffcbb0b/a40a6325

Nope. Parker's cap hit to the Patriots was $6M/yr for two years - NOT $12M/yr. That's a very cap-friendly deal for a decent, if unspectacular, receiver. Let's put aside whether the Pats gave up WAY too much for Parker, and speculate whether the Bills could try to make the same exact deal. Why would any team give up a 3rd for a one-year contract and the possibility not sign Davis after the season? Moreover, why get rid of Davis for what is essentially moving up from the 5th to the 3rd? Yes, he would have a diminished role, and the Bills might not be able to sign him for 2024 and beyond, but he would STILL be much more valuable for the Bills THIS season than any reasonable return on a trade. Pros: - Davis could be a very good #3 (if not one of the best in the league) - Davis floor likely has a much higher floor than any other receiver on the roster. - Davis could easily step into #2 if Diggs or Hopkins cannot play. Cons: - May not be able to resign Davis after the season

Thanks. I would have assumed reselling the premium tickets (I couldn't get two together), but the "regular" tickets I've seen on sale seem a bit sketchy.

How are these tickets available? Who's are they?

What do you think the Bills will get for a #2/#3 receiver on the last year of a rookie contract? 4th or 5th rounder? That's hardly worth it. What benefit would the Bills get out of a trade when they could have a receiver who did VERY well as a #3 and could easily slip into #2 if Diggs or Hopkins? Davis is a proven #3, while the others are not.

I'd say that's about a 5% chance, and that may be too high. Davis would likely move to WR3. With Hopkins in the #2, Gabe could be even more productive than he was in 2021.

#6 seems about right. The Bills have questions - at RT - I'm "hopeful" Brown will be "decent" but its no sure thing. - at LG - will Torrence be an upgrade *this* season? - at RG - McGovern looks like a sure upgrade but we'll see. - at MLB - huge unknown - at CB2 - will Elam take a significant step? - at WR2, Gabe needs to be much better this year. - at RB in general (plus blocking from OL) - at DE, who will fill #40's shoes for a few weeks? - at DL, Ford should be a big help, but need career years from Ed and Settle

Nice post. May I ask why you moved to NZ and if you would recommend it.
