I have had issues every year for the last ten, and for the past couple have had two accounts. First game of the season, I got an ambiguous message, called and discovered I had never ordered it. I had, of course, three weeks earlier with long discussions on how I wanted it at both locations but only wanted to pay one charge for it. I indicated that if that was not possible, I'd skip ordering it at either location and just find a local spot to watch. Like clockwork, they screwed it up. In fairness, when they finally fixed it, I was able to start the game from the beginning and saw the whole thing. When I called the next day to figure out how to avoid this problem in the future, they gave me a $65 monthly credit for 12 mos.

It's worth $50 to me, but I do not accept checks. Cash only, small bills.

So, a group of like-minded individuals get together to discuss issues that impact them, call it a Summit and you insult them with some odd reference to a "cookout"? What is that even supposed to mean? That's just ugliness, and incredibly condescending.

Reading is fundamental, even for liberals. People die on the way here. People are murdered on the way here. People are assaulted on the way here. People are robbed on the way here. People are traumatized on the way here. People are trafficked on the way here. The exact same thoughts apply to citizens on this side of the border, often an unfortunate and tragic byproduct of a failed immigration policy. If you feel that people who die on their way to the promised land are worth sacrificing because you want prefer anarchy at the border, the good news is that's what happens with regularity. Though, I'd bet the family of Molly Tibbets would like have preferred, given their druthers, that the man who brutalized and murdered their child had simply terrorized her with a bomb that didn't actually explode v ending her life. Just a hunch.

If the leadership of this nation devoted 1/10th of the urgency they showed in this investigation to the challenges of a broken immigration system, a whole lot less people be victimzed in and on the way into this country.

This post bombed. That's a metaphor for it sucked some'in awful.

As Zucker said recently, "words matter". I'd add into that "words not used matter as well". I saw a piece on the bomb/rhetoric on NBC this morning. The carefully crafted piece went to great lengths to include Trump and Trump footage, to include commentary on his interaction with Democrats, and to lay blame squarely st his feet. The piece failed to mention rhetoric by virtually every high profile dem and their call to action. That's been the tactical approach to the Russian collusion story for the entirety of the reporting on the MSM. Take part of the story, fail to mention the news that contradicts it, put some hucksters on to "analyze" the issue, and move forward. For every time it was reported that secret sources claimed DT was going to fire Sessions, Rosenstein, Mueller et al, with obligatory commentary from Schumer et al, you would think they would be embarrased that their sources sucked so bad, so often. I understand the need for anonymous sources, but this whole concept also provided great cover to those who want to mold the narrative.

Bob Deniro will have something to say for sure. He reminds me more every day of an unhinged drunkard struggling to stay relevant, which is sad for me because I love virtually every Deniro film ever made. I wonder if he might stop and pause about his contribution to escalating rhetoric. I would assume not.

i don't know about that. what makes you think they missed the initial shot to the face on Benjamin? the inconsistency from game to game, and often play to play leaves me with no faith that the official saw the initial shot to the face and figured it was fine. i agree, if benjamin walks away there is no penalty called, but that's part of the problem.

i make an exception with gronkowski post-cheap shot on TW. the guy is immensely talented, has had an embarrassment of riches in terms of money, fame and accolades, yet revealed himself to be just another scumbag.

Bias! There it is from the dictionary! I'm all about Fighting the Power! Join us brother! Thank you!

And the fat boy should do a crunch once in a while.

I don't even know why you need the FBI. The leaders of the Saudi hit Squad, Hansel Bin Al Saud and his sidekick Gretel Abdulaziz Al-Otabi left a trail of kunafa crumbs a blind Bedouin could follow. Passports. Surveillance video. Van's. Audio recordings. Confirmation from the former director of the CIA. I mean it's all so obvious, everything aligns perfectly.

I was at that game, and it's official that you have no soul.

It's the "Hide in Plain Sight" long game. Create a paper trail of legitimate business transactions, reported in great detail and scrutinized by regulatory agencies, with documentation accessible by all, all while shouting to the roof tops how successful a transaction it was. Btw, I watched an interview with Brennan and NBC news this morning and walked away thinking how odd the disappearance of this journalist seems given the political landscape. Every jamoke on the planet is aware of the presence of security cameras and high tech listening devices, yet the Saudi hit team was tracked from th le moment they landed in Turkey, to the moment they walked in the building, the moment they left the building with clear and obvious evidence Khasoggi never left? Brennan stated emphatically that the Saudi's murdered this poor guy, as the interviewers fawned over his experience and knowledge about "that part of the world". He included the obligatory reference to Trump being in their pocket, but also waxed philosophically about the need for continued relations with the country in spite of this event with breadcrumbs that even Hansel and Gretel could follow back to the Saudis. All the while, i kept wondering if NBC would ask him how tuned in he was to Intel given his recent loss of security clearance, but that apparently didn't occur to NBC. At a minimum, Brennan is a reckless, reckless man by stating emphatically that the Saudi's murdered Khasoggi, The End.

Even an exceptional Sherpa will find it impossible to guide a climber who buys his gear at Walmart. This is the cold truth of Everest.

Ah crap, they got the guy from ACDC now. Game over.

Good stuff--thanks for sharing that. LS was one of the first bands I really paid attention to and to this day virtually every Skynyrd song carries with it some good memories. The "how do you listen to that?!" crowd never really interested me all that much, and the irony of a kid from 1970's Buffalo listening to southern rock was never really lost on me. I just liked the sound and the music. One of the cool things bout music is the ability to connect people. The fact that you feel close to your Dad when Tuesday's Gone is actually pretty amazing, given that his Dad may at one time have walked into his room and told him to shut that $#@! off, or turn that &^%$ down, or the obligatory cut your ^%$# hair. I always tried to connect with my kids through their music, and tried to connect through their music while dropping a bit of mine on them. As a result, I can pop on DMB, Angels and Airwaves, Drake, Eminen, Taking Back Sunday and some more hardcore rap (not a huge fan, but I only strongly recommend that my kids 'turn that volume down to a 6 will ya, you're going to go deaf!") and be pretty happy. Still, it was only a few days ago when I pulled up "Curtis Lowe" and sang along as I always did. So, to summarize: 1. Music connects if you let it; 2. The plane crash was 100% avoidable and what a shame; 3. Don't let someone else define your music. "Sweet Home Alabama" was no more about racial bias than was "Southern Man" by Neil Young, "That Smell" wasn't celebrating drunk/drugged driving and hitting Oak Trees, and "What's Your name" wasn't about the band hooking up with girls on the road and promising to look them up the next time they were in town. 4. Simple Man is as honest a song as ever been written; 5. Very cool story about your Dad. LS wouldn't be one with mine, but I have others and that's a precious gift. Oh, and 6...after watching the documentary that's been on recently, "If I leave here tomorrow" and considering the totality of the life those band members lived before and after the crash, any of them making it to 55 had to be a miracle.

Well if we're admitting stuff, she's an individual who aspired to greatness and saw it through. The odds of a poor girl from a Jewish family, born along the Appalachian trail, raised in poverty with scoliosis that was left untreated, her father a raging alcoholic and her mother a barker in a traveling show becoming a Supreme Court justice were astronomical.

The problem for decent, hard-working, well-intentioned centrists not all that dialed into the political landscape is they just don't understand this person, and other crazy people like her, is coming for them too. She hates....everybody NOT a transgendered or non-white female survivor of sexual assault that is HIV positive.

I apparently missed the point you were making regarding the defense and how they will fare moving forward. I was just responding about this game. I still hold that its impossible to say what might have happened had we made a touchdown, because after all, the titans were as unlikely to score the td othe drop based on the other 55 minutes of ball. It was absolutely fortunate that he dropped it, and as I said earlier I thought the d played very well on Sunday. Moving forward your cautious approach is warranted of course. Have a good night.

I don't think it's obvious at all. Plenty of time to drive the field and score. Assuming the d keeps it all underneath, the movement up the field is very doable and it comes down to whether or not the Bills can push it in. I'm also not sure why you would take away the turnover differential as turnovers are part of the game, and the turnovers are often a result of disciplined defense and aggressive tackling. To me, that's like saying if you take away the winning field goal we lose. Or, if you take away the pass rush perhaps Mariotta has a better day. The defense played well. Who knows, maybe they got in William's head in the first 55 minutes of the game and he was concerned about securing the ball if he was hit from a crazy angle.

Buddy of mine is a lifelong resident of San Francisco, lives in Morin county but works in the city. The house he grew up in was on the opening credits of the old "streets of san fran" as the cars drove by. Loves it, and most definitely skews left. He said certain areas are just horrible today, homeless people, drug needles and people literally $#@@ing on the sidewalk. Interestingly, he doesn't see it as a political problem. You're correct, bad things tend to follow when you use the streets as your toilet. I thought we figured that out in the period spanning roughly 1500-1950.

Unfortunately, the SC debacle and the post-election antics against Trump tell us that "taking the high road" simply means that other than publicly jabbing an ice pick in the eye of your enemy, pretty much anything goes. It's sad, but true.
