Eleven

At about 1245, I had the option to take a nap or watch the game. I chose poorly. This team is bad.

Doubling down on stupid... Ian Rapoport‏Verified account @RapSheet FollowFollow @RapSheet More #Bills RT Cody Ford was fined $28,075 for unnecessary roughness for the illegal blindside block that knocked his team out of field-goal range in overtime last week against the #Texans. They punted, Houston drove for a winning field goal … now a fine on top of it.

Apparently it was real, and it was from yesterday: https://fikklefame.com/final-jeopardy-1-10-20/2/

Was this actually on Jeopardy?! Probably because Andrew Peters tries to make it his own.

Oh--I definitely watched it during a broadcast. I considered that "made public," I guess. Made available on the Internet is a different thing to me. And yes, it probably should be. Huh?

? I watched it, so it must have been made public.

Their social media is pretty great. The Tre White goalie videos didn't come out of thin air. On the other hand, PSE just cut 1/3 of its creative staff.

311, you are supporting the wrong man. You stated that it is a one issue thing for you. He destroyed that. I once supported a guy named Obama. He said he would give medical care to all. He didn't. Guess what? I stopped supporting him and didn't vote for him in 2012. It is time for you to be honest with either yourself or with the rest of us.

That''s Ratner from Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Yep. I have no problem with that. I'm not judging Trump's fate; I'm judging his actions and words. He does not get the benefit of the doubt.

It shouldn't get another game in the regular season. If the NFL wants credibility, it needs to hold refs accountable, which it doesn't. This would detract from the "human element" that is necessary for the NFL to do what it apparently wants to do, which is at LEAST remain controversial. Play clocks aren't even reviewable. We're talking about a league that still uses chains, moved by people who sometimes cheat with them, to measure ten yards. I'm familiar with Hanlon's Razor. I am now stating Eleven's Razor: Never attribute to stupidity that which can adequately be explained by avarice.

Trump doesn't get the benefit of the doubt. Not with his record. No way.

Yes, let's.

This doesn't exactly fit with a policy of non-intervention.

And who started it, 311? The Iranians? (Who missed their marks.) Or YOUR Donald. He started it. You know it. Look inside and admit it. There was no reason for any of God's people to be hurt. Trump did this,

Even Hulk Hogan lost once in a while. Gotta keep eyeballs on screens.

You're quoting the portion of the US criminal code that deals with acts of terrorism for your definition of an act of war? Killing another country's general, unprovoked, has been an act of war for a lot longer than that definition, or even the United States, has been around. I suspect you know this. I think you may have some self-deception going on since Friday morning. Your boy is trying to do the one thing that you swore to yourself he wouldn't do.

Earl Campbell: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/super/2017/01/31/earl-campbell-super-bowl-li-51-houston-oilers-texas-running-back-pain-gain-pro-football-hall-of-fame/97258738/ In fact, Campbell compared current play in the NFL to professional wrestling. “And we all know now that we’re grown men that wrestling’s fake,” Campbell told USA TODAY Sports. “Well, football is not played like it was when I played. Joe Thomas: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/13494837/joe-thomas-cleveland-browns-backs-tom-brady-rips-nfl-witch-hunts "I'm glad that he's fighting [it]," Thomas said. "Because it's good for the game. It's an entertainment business. It's turning into the WWE really. It's like the Vince McMahon stuff. Basically Goodell is like Vince McMahon." Chris Borland: https://abc7news.com/sports/why-former-49er-chris-borland-is-the-most-dangerous-man-in-football/949515/ "It's like a spectacle of violence, for entertainment, and you're the actors in it. You're complicit in that: You put on the uniform. And it's a trivial thing at its core. It's make-believe, really. That's the truth about it." Now, am I saying it's definitely scripted? No. But is it beyond the realm of possibility? Also no. Would that explain all the strange calls that happen EVERY Sunday? Yes. So would incompetence, I suppose.

IIRC, aren't you former military? And if so, you must know that assassinating the general of a foreign army is an act of war.

It's a fair argument. Now let's quit screwing around and have the Sabres hire Laviolette already.

It might be the only thing that *saves* his position. Please don't get me wrong--I've nothing against Krueger. I've just got nothing FOR him, either, anymore. I liked the unconventional hire, and I like that he's a leader. The results aren't there.

It's never the right timing, is it? It wasn't the right timing for the Cheatriots because Belichick was the Jets' coach. Until he wasn't.

International cricket is bigger than the NFL and there are all sorts of shenanigans there. In other words: agreed.

Still not as big as Houston.
