Dr. Who

Honestly, the minute they won the toss, the game was effectively over. I think if we had won it, we were scoring six. I was at my best friend's funeral when the Music City Miracle happened. Watched Norwood's wide right in a dorm room at UCLA. This is by far the most devastating loss I've ever experienced.

Well, I'm hoping someone hires him as HC so we get third round picks. Too bad someone didn't snag him after the Pats* game while his stock was higher.

Truly kind of you to say, but I'm still rooting for the Bengals.

Unspeakably brutal.

Started when they drafted the fella who lives in his stadium.

Love the Kachina sweaters. Look, if rooting for the Sabres hasn't damaged my capacity to rationally assess the genuine ability of the Bills to win a SB this year, then you can't take refuge in the Yotes as an excuse for insufferable pessimism.

I was shocked they didn't open the show with the interview with McDermott. I mean, what could take precedence?

He thinks there's an award for being the most annoying, obtuse poster. If there were, he'd win in a landslide.

Nah, it's the Winter Soldier vs. Ratface Kermit.

CNN will see an otherwise inexplicable spike in viewership.

It shouldn't be that way, though. I know where your politics are; I'm definitely more conservative. Don't care. You're one of my pals here -- and I can recognize integrity and the many aspects that make a unique person irreplaceable even in those I disagree with. (Of course, I refrain from polemical conversations for the most part. I have experienced strained friendships over such differences.)

Sometimes I am nostalgic for the utter naivete of the pre-social media world. I was free to imagine the world of Bills' fans as uniformly decent and loyal. Alas, humanity . . .

Thanks so much for sharing. It's profoundly gratifying when someone whose public persona you admire is matched by private kindness.

Good to know. Not a fan of either, really. Any interaction with Kobe? I liked that fella.

He was also effusive in his praise of Allen on PTI. The old guys in the balcony barely grumbled in response. Guess I'll have to give him credit, though why a grown man carries around the Booger moniker by choice is beyond me.

UGA victory, Braves win. Just waiting on the Bills for a trifecta.

Nearly everyone is okay with Josh running in a playoff game and late season games that are crucial. Folks are concerned if you make that a regular feature throughout the season the risk of injury and the shortening of Josh's career are increased. It's not a ridiculous worry.

He had Christmas dinner with a random Polish family. I think he likes it here. Make him a good offer and keep the fella. We need that burner speed in this offense.

I'd be surprised, but that's horse racing . . . well, it's not, it's football, but I surmise you get the analogy. If Bills are not in the playoffs, I'm straight out rooting for the Bengals. I like that team, but they've seemed inconsistent to me. Also, I think the thug toughness of the Titans is underestimated. Like the niners, they play an ugly style that wins.

They certainly deserve each other.

This is so obvious as to be self-evident. Strange thing to be in denial about.

Beat Rat face at home by 18 points. Down Tre White, up Milano. We'll see, but I think we are the slightly better team.

Simpson's heinous crime was well after his playing years and widely condemned. The Bills do not keep scum character players because they are talented. That's the Chief's MO. Jerk comment.

Just another reason to hate them. I don't think the Bengals win it. Too young, I think they get punched in the mouth. But I'm rooting for them. Much better if they lose in Orchard Park.

I had the same experience on the rewatch. When you know the result, the dramatic achievement of the moment which decides how an event will play out is necessarily missing. Euphoria is the joy of victory. You just can't replicate that. I did note that Josh's last incompletion was early in the 2nd qtr. Our ability to run really dictated that game as much as the superlative passing game. They fed off each other and it truly makes the offense close to unstoppable. Avoid turnovers and you win.
