Dr. Who

Really well stated. Now get off my lawn.

I recognize a fair number of these names, but you fellas are really informed and I am not. I don't see the nuances of the game as I am mainly a casual viewer. My sense, from some of the posts above, is that we need to play more of a ball possession, defensive, tactically sophisticated game and so far, we've just tried to get by on aggression. Anyway, thanks for the thoughts. Hope we get it right . . . relatively soon.

Who is coaching the U17 and U20 teams? Any candidates for the national team?

I'm rather surprised you didn't blame Tim Murray . . . and don't call me Shirley.

I'm a very casual soccer fan. I generally only pay attention to the World Cup, which I enjoy, US team present or not -- though I'd like to be able to root for American success. Your view is the most encouraging I have heard. The talking heads on ESPN do not give one a sense that a positive sea change is coming. Now I am sorry Klinsman is gone.

Autocorrect, ESPN, everybody disrespects hockey . . .

They're pretty bad in the NHL as well

You might be sleeping longer than Rip Van Winkle Nah, never let the facts get in the way of a good joke. He needs to do better, still, imo. It would help, of course, if his wide receiver corps wasn't so wretched.

It will be more of the buy high, sell low variety which will be justified as making the best out of Doug Whaley's bad decisions.

The pacing makes me somewhat nauseous. Not quite sure what it is. Every episode, I'd say, well, enough of that, but always watched the next one anyway. Characters are quirky and one does end up caring about them.

Smart observation. We have a lot of needs, but let's hope that among their skills, qb evaluation is near the top.

Well, I really like Blade Runner. I like noir if one means Out of the Past, The Third Man, The Big Sleep, etc., but not a fan of the B-movie genre as a whole. As sci-fi noir, I thought Harrison Ford played Decker just right. It's not a glamorous lead role. Rutger Hauer steals the show in that degree, but that is fitting, as the redemptive thematic moment belongs to Roy Batty. I agree the director's cut is far preferable, though I have some nostalgia for the voice over version and don't absolutely hate it. I rarely go see movies at the theater. The Artist was the last one, so you see how infrequent. I think I'd like to see the new Blade Runner on Imax, though. The whole question of identity and the mix of interesting philosophical/theological questions with a rich, dystopic mythos makes the original and sequel worth contemplating. Blade Runner is based on Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sleep, so the speculation regarding the future was further out than the film date might lead one to surmise. Anyway, I know quite a few folks who think it dull and I can understand how they find it so (I find David Lean films dull, though they are cinematic masterpieces I suppose.)

Thanks for the take. You and Shrader are two fellas who I listen to for informed opinions. Any chance Lehner gets better at shootouts? It's depressing, but the minute we go to SO, I just assume it is a loss. I'd almost like to put Ocho CInco in for the SO, regardless.

Folks are only interested in context when it helps their argument.

I find the animus off-putting. It's not like the young man forced the Bills to take him in the first round.

Taylor is playing smart, avoiding turnovers and doing just enough to win. The TD throw to Jordan Matthews was the real deal. Do more of that and he will persuade the persuadable. The view that Tyrod is not a franchise qb is not equivalent to saying he is a terrible qb. He has exceeded my expectations so far this year. I hope he continues to do so, but I will still be surprised if he establishes himself as a true franchise qb.

End of world coming soon.

I hope EJ plays well, unless he is playing against us. From the little I've seen in pre-season and when he came in for Carr last week, he looks more relaxed and has played reasonably well.

I am generally a classical music listener, but I liked his music. 66 was old fifty years ago. Seems not so old today, imo. Go with God . . .

Just surmising as the OP is asking about professional TT haters. And I've been giving it away for free all these years . . .

I didn't know you could get paid to hate Tyrod.

I liked Watson and Mahomes and posted quite a bit my hopes that we would draft one of them. Taylor is playing somewhat better than I expected. Hopefully the offense continues to improve, though our wr corps is limited. Those who were sure the 2018 qb draft was going to rival 1983 look overly optimistic at this moment.

Anyone ever watch Farscape? It was eccentric, but I liked it.

Thanks. I was unaware of the context.

I agree with that. Long term, I want a top tier franchise qb, but Taylor appears to be somewhat better than I anticipated. Hope he keeps playing well.
