Thanks for doing that.

Articles today by Roth and Maiorana basically calling BS on the Sully, Bucky and Carucci tabloid reporting. Nothing better than a good old media cat fight.

Yeah, like he covered for Brady on deflategate? Hoodie now a noble got your back kind of guy? Maybe he likes Slater more than Tommy boy.

Apparently it is not nonsense.

Hoodie has confirmed that he wanted to kick off.

Bad karma I guess.

Won the OT toss and elected to kick off. Jets take ball, score 6 and win. He should have cheated.

Fyi.. I think you mean couldn't care less. If you could care less, it means you did care about the game to some degree, which is not what you probably meant to say.

fyi, it's "intents and" not "intensive" purposes, for future reference...

Colts won

Other than the Colts winning and KC leading, yes...

After 50 years of fandom, I am done. I hate this effing team. Hate hate hate.

He has a grade 2 sprain, TT is not running around at practice today-- no way. Seriously?

You spoke with TT's doc?

There are degrees of MCL sprains, and many of the reports assumed it was a grade 2 or grade 3 sprain when it seems to be a mild grade one sprain. A grade one sprain is 1-2 weeks, not "multiple" games and a "bad injury" as reported. Bottom line, I disagree, the reporting on this has been horrible.

The media today truly sucks. Somebody tweets something based on half-baked information, and then it is re-reported as "fact" over and over and thus it becomes "true." Then when it turns out TT has-- as it seemed based on Sunday-- a relatively mild sprain and might miss a game if any, it is viewed with great doubt. Then because the media reported a "bad injury" as fact, based on the process just described, the new likely true state of affairs is just a "smokescreen" to fool the Bengals. What BS. A few try to do real work-- like the unlikely Sal at WGR in this instance-- but the journalism profession today by and large is just a bunch of lazy folks who know nothing.

Exactly. And let's not overlook the likelihood for improvement. We have all new coaches and schemes, and a QB that has started 4-5 games. It takes time to get this all down. Next year you'll see quotes about "how much farther along we are now with the system than a year ago-- night and day." So while the team that played yesterday does not look like a contender, if they can hang in and get to the bye at 4-3, given the weak state of the AFC and likely improvement as players get more comfortable, a playoff spot seems plausible, and maybe likely.

I am not saying the Bills will win, but the Bengals are still the Bengals. Buffalo was about pick against NE, and while Buffalo's star may have dimmed since then, the Bengals are not NE from the bettor's perspective. So I suspect the spread will be quite small, with the Bills at home.

No way. At home, Bills will be small underdogs at most... 1-3 points.

I would agree. Plan is clear-- make it possible to win with-- hopefully-- average QB play and make it easy as possible for the QB to perform adequately. The O-line is the biggest piece left, try to make it well above average. If they can do that, then EJ or some mediocre vet-- Sanchez, Locker-- may give us the SF/KC/Alex Smith model. Another weapon in TE would not hurt either. Good thoughts... CD

As it would be with a first rounder.

This is the only interesting thing here. Pegula would not extend anyone.

Your point is so subtle that its meaning eludes me.

And here's the thing, that view is supported by the simple logic that the Pats-- or anyone-- don't get caught every time they cheat, or they'd stop cheating. Like in baseball, if you are not successful stealing 75-80% of the time, you should stop stealing because it hurts you more than helps. So one must assume in the aggregate that cheating pays off overall for the Patriots, and when they get caught it is simply the cost of doing business-- or in this case cheating. It defies reason that they are only cheating when they get caught. It must be just the tip of the iceberg.

Right, but his acclaim and success were a total fraud. But for the cheating no one likely would have ever known who LA was. Did a washed up Cleveland coach and 6th round pick do what was needed to become famous. Would we have ever heard of them otherwise? Just asking?
