  1. I think Antonio still has more to drop. The worst is yet to come for him. On a positive note, a very rare occasion, the Bills are on local TV in Columbus this Sunday! Dig out that digital antenna!
  2. I had that same thought. Then I looked at the B group and thought "would they really get rid of all those guys?' My answer to myself was "no way", but.... Could something crazy and unprecedented be underway? Once again, though, this is just a preseason practice lineup, so probably not.
  3. Cities everywhere are trying to reverse these bad decisions made decades ago. Akron, OH is removing a large portion of their Innerbelt and creating a park. The highway was completed in its current form in 1987 and by 1999 was already being proposed to be removed. Long, but interesting article that talks about the destroying of neighborhoods and communities and the effects long thereafter for a highway that was severely underused and never served its intended purpose. https://www.clevescene.com/cleveland/a-road-to-nowhere-how-the-construction-of-akrons-innerbelt-displaced-thousands/Content?oid=27096491
  4. O'Reilly is the new crusade to be brought up for years to come. Add it to @inkman 's list. People forget that he had just "led" us to a 62 point season and it certainly sounded like he was not enjoying his time in Buffalo. Interesting that Mr. Ultimate Leader Ryan thrived when his leadership responsibilities lessened on a more veteran team. He wasn't the leader needed for a young team. All I'm going to say about him. The crusade is old and I'm sick of his name already.
  5. He's potentially a really good corner that the Dolphins were trying to play at strong safety, which caused the disagreement and trade demand. Not that I care if Pittsburgh makes stupid moves, but this pick is going to be really high, unless playing the Browns and Bengals four times helps artificially inflate their record.
  6. Looking like a good chance at a top 10 pick from Pittsburgh though. Tough for the Bills to beat that with their projected last pick in the first round. ? Edit: Has anyone tanked as hard as Miami is right now? They now have 5 first round picks and 4 second round picks over the next 2 drafts, with lots of time for more moves to add to that.
  7. Although I agree with the Pittsburgh defense part, Fitzpatrick was top 10 in the NFL in lowest completion percentage against last year (minimum 400 coverage snaps) as a rookie. I think he's well above middling. I was hoping the Bills might take a look at him, but not at the price Pittsburgh ended up paying.
  8. Vikings is available on Prime. Separately: I'm not sure if it's still the case, but Prime was getting the seasons earlier than Netflix so I have usually watched the show on Prime.
  9. I have enjoyed and recommend: AMC: Preacher Amazon: Vikings, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and Fleabag. 6 Feet Under I believe is on there as well. That's a show from a while back that was really good if you haven't seen it.
  10. For now is right. You can still mark Nadal down for the French every year until proven otherwise. He's won 3 in a row, 8 of 10, and 12 out of 15. Love watching him on clay. If he can pick up one of the other Grand Slams like he did this year, that's a bonus. I think the real competition is Djokovic who has 16 Grand Slams and pretty much owns the Australian, winning 6 of the last 9 of them, and Wimbledon, winning 4 of the last 6. I think they both pass Federer. The best stat I heard was that no one outside the big 3 has won a Grand Slam since 2016. (Federer 3, Nadal 5, and Djokovic 4)
  11. Sounds like a place to make a visit sometime. The list is endless at this point! Obviously need more happy hour events. It's the only solution.
  12. Been awhile on this one. Had a great happy hour with a couple of great work friends on Friday at the Walrus in Columbus. Tried to mix it up a bit, I like variety. Started out with a good scotch. Forget what it was, I'm not a scotch drinker, but it was good. May have been Macallan 12? Then switched to the excellent craft beer selection. 50% off during happy hour. Hell yes! Started with the SweetWater 420 Strain G13 IPA. Pint smelled just like a bag of weed. Smelled great and tasted better! Then went with a Truth IPA from Rhineghist. Delicious and from just down I71 (Cincinnati) from Cbus. Next was the Elvis Juice from Brewdog. Awesome! U.S. headquarters in Canal Winchester, about 15 minutes from my house. Then as the night cap(s), 2 Golden Monkeys from Victory Brewing (MattPie approved?). Excellent! Overall a great night, and was happy to try some new to me stuff. Was very comfortable upon leaving. ? Went out and picked up some Hop Stoopid for tonight, and really enjoying that too. Beer on, dudes!

  14. Awesome! Beyond description. Thanks Woody!

  16. Wow! 20 part thread. Dude is high maintenance to say the least. Looks like the Bills got really lucky they didn't end up with AB.
  17. Thanks, this made me laugh. Good way to reference that hat. I was searching for words myself.
  18. Wow. Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs dead at age 27. No information on cause of death. They were in Texas for a game against the Rangers, which has been understandably postponed.
  19. Rutherford confirms (in a roundabout way) that Kessel vetoed a trade to Minnesota. https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/26994129/pens-gm-kessel-vetoed-trade-not-shopping-him Deal was rumored to be Kessel and Johnson for Zucker and Rask. Also sounds like Pittsburgh is looking to make some more moves.
  20. After some research, they use that same blue button for several shades of blue for many different teams. As a glimmer of hope, they do have a darker blue button they use for Columbus' jersey. The same light blue button is very prevalent though, and covers many blues from Tampa Bay to Vancouver, the Rangers, Toronto, etc.
  21. I've noticed that this is not uncommon with products on websites, such as with sneakers. The color choices often do not match the product very well. I think it's because they use generic choices for color selection with one overarching color for blue, red, green, etc. I hate to rain on anyone's parade, but the picture is always more correct, rather than the generic color button. They're still gonna be navy, is my bet.
  22. I approve! Should be a huge improvement. Now on to getting rid of "Homer" Murphy....
  23. Go Dallas, Columbus, and Colorado for draft positioning. Also, Columbus, because ***** Boston!
