Ignoring any of the politics in all of this, was there anyone who actually thought Trump got into the discussion of the sale of the Bills for anything other than publicity?

That makes me think of the show that aired along with Monk, Psych. That one's loaded with pop culture references, but they're all from the 80s, during the youth of Shawn and Gus. It makes me wonder how a show like that will age 10 or so years from now once that target demographic approaches their 50s and beyond.

Have Dunder Miflin quickly fall apart without him. Maybe that is what happened, the show lost so much steam that I really don't remember much of what I did watch.

Scrolling through the players, Compher is really the only one that could be a very nice help. Still, looking through all of that, I still make that O'Reilly deal in a heartbeat. The rest of the list does a nice job of condemning the end of the Regier tenure as you suggest. They didn't really give away all that much in those deals. But at the same time, I think the Regier approach would have served us much better through the tank than Murray's. Darcy was at least loading up on assets while Murray was overspending all of those assets. The drafting portion of that analysis really starts to lose me, epecially when they start out by saying with the 60th pick they could have taken someone who went 19 picks later. Ok, sure, they may have lucked out and made that right pick, but they also could have taken any of the 18 other guys who went within that window. That's far more likely than landing on the one guy in the entire wide range who has thus far amounted to anything. The "what if we picked this guy instead" argument is always too loaded with hindsight. Hell, since the team selected Brycen Martin at 74, I have a hard time believing they would have taken Point at 60th. He offers these arguments in the story, so I'll give him credit for that, but it still always bugs me. Sure, they would have had a few more bodies to work with, but looking over the rest of the picks they did wind up making over that time, I don't feel too confident that they would have made the right one. Let's not ignore that side of the equation.

Are they running on a different schedule up there in Canada? The price increase was a little while ago down here (which by the way was before shows were canceled). You did have me checking my email right away though. And did it actually mention Titans because that's a part of DC's streaming service, isn't it?

Have you tried restarting your computer? Perhaps testing to see if it works in the bathtub?

It really was a perfect episode to end on. Scrubs managed to boot theirs in the same exact way.

I have no issue with where South Park is today, but I kind of wish they ended it a few years ago with that season finale where Stan became ridiculously cynical and the Marsh's moved away. That would have been a great way to awkwardly end the show when no one expected it.

It's definitely troubling. The talking heads lately seem to be mentioning growth, but I don't think that's what I've seen. There was a slight surge followed up by complete and utter collapse. Sure some are young, but there are others who can't use that excuse anymore and those are the guys where you start to wonder if they're able to carry the weight of all of this.

I absolutely loved the bait and switch they pulled to start off this season. It's really the only thing I remember though. The seasons are far too short with too much time in between. I realize that's the best they can do with their schedules, but nothing about that format leads to memorability.

It does make you wonder how much his numbers would drop if on a weaker team like Buffalo... and that's ignoring the difference in the developmental process between the two teams.

It's kind of odd to focus on the 3rd round of any given draft though. I'll take your word that he was rated highly but fell. But anyway, at that stage in the draft, every single team passed on him a couple times. Hell, even Tampa passed on him 3 times and has nothing to show for the three players they did take. If they thought he was going to be what he looks like he could be now, they're not waiting to make that pick.

Disagreement in general does not mean that you have no respect for that person or that you think they have no right to express said opinion.

That's why these streaming services are so great. I can see how someone would have fallen off of Breaking Bad if they had to watch that on a weekly basis. That pilot was balls to the wall, but then it slowed significantly for the character development episodes. Getting to watch all that development in one sitting as opposed to stretching it out over a month or two? Sign me up. That's how I watched the show since I only had basic cable when it originally aired. Better Call Saul is good, but with how long it's drawn out, I really wish I had just waited for the entire series to be finished before watching it.

I can understand that some people may not have been thrilled with the ending of Breaking Bad. Anyone who wants to call it the worst though, those people really need to stop exaggerating for the sake of making a point. The words start to lose meaning if you call that the worst.

And here's to hoping that some of that passion finally pays off next year. I hate saying it in February, but it is going to be a very interesting offseason. Botterill has at least shown that he's not afraid to make actual deals that go beyond just prospect swaps or discount bin shopping in order to build his team.

So would that make all of Better Call Saul a part of his dream too due to the few Omaha scenes? edit: Oh, and the funniest online theory I've seen about Breaking Bad is that Walt's meth caused the Walking Dead. It's a funny thought and apparently they've actually thrown a few easter eggs into the show to play with that idea. Lately I've been throwing on an episode or two of Cheers while I wind down my gym workout on a treadmill. It's a great way to add on an extra 30 minutes or so without even realizing it.

Sadly the guy you'd learn the most from (X Benedict) left a couple years ago. They've lost too many people like that. But anyway, back to the original question. If you're looking for a little more depth and more topics, obviously they'll have that at the hockey-focused board. If nothing else, I'd say give it a shot and see what you think. And an added bonus for trying that out, it might give you a slight break from John and plenz's slap fights in here.

I think that usually the people who get pounced on by the group tend to deserve it. But yes, a few people get far too emotionally involved all while posting way too much. If you can weed through that, it's still valuable. If someone is able to wade through the Bills side here (note: I can't), they can easily get through that place.

Just don’t show up and immediately act like an a-hole 24/7. There’s a bit of that going on lately.

I really don't have any complaints about yesterday. The only thing that bugged me was Connie roaming through the corn field with no sound playing seemed a bit hokey to me. Yeah, we all know she's deaf, but it didn't really seem necessary.

That's a part of their trade for Jurco. There's probably some games being played protect an asset or take into account money issues.

I could see McCabe as a candidate too, whether it's now of in the offseason. That's another middle of the pack guy who is going to have some good value in the so called hockey deal.

Well, from this answer, I can be happy in knowing I will continue to be completely unaware of who he is and what he's doing.

I now fully expect him to sign with Minnesota.
