I'm glad somebody else realizes how good Lindell has been this season. You're right about the cost of doing business...at least once this season he'll kick it OB and at least once there will be a breakdown and the other team will break off a huge return, possibly for 6 points. Every other team seems to be acquiescing to the new 35-yard line rule and just blasting the ball out of the end zone. The Bills are the first team to adapt and try to use the rule to their advantage, for which I give tons of credit.

These !@#$ing losers would turn the ball over, wouldn't they?

I usually root for the bad guy in movies, since most of them are so annoyingly formulaic. I'm still sore that Wile E Coyote never caught that goddamn piss ant Roadrunner.

Ha! I missed that the first time.

If this is truly indicative of a real Wonderlic test, I weep for the stupidity of the average NFL player.

Lord knows the wife does!

I like how deferring allows you to strategize at the end of the first half.

Losses will come this season. It's more than likely that the Bills will lose 2 or 3 in a row at some point. The issue is going to be how well they bounce back.

Thanks for the tip. It's definitely best to write in such a way as to not build a barrier between yourself and the audience, so I see where you're coming from with the formality. I do watch Parks and Rec (better than it's sister show The Office, in my opinion). However, I invented the name Entertainment Bureau about 2 weeks before the Entertainment 720 episode, as I recall.

There are plenty of vowels. There is a shortage on punctuation and syntax, though.

I really appreciate the compliment, Dante. My biggest problem is being excessively verbose, but I was proud of the review. I'll probably end up linking to future articles in this thread if you're interested.

Thanks, HopsGuy. I appreciate it. That's our first comment that doesn't appear to be from an Eastern European spambot (you gotta start somewhere).

Deferring is always the right answer, in my opinion.

I like KW, but I wouldn't really call that a fantastic quote. Pretty standard sideline fare.

And a shameless plug for the new entertainment website that my friend Jared and I have started. It's called Entertainment Bureau and it just launched yesterday. Right now it's pretty bare-bones with only 10 articles, but more content is coming very soon. Here's a review/meditation I wrote for the new Brad Pitt vehicle Moneyball. I want to eventually break into professional writing, so please let me know what you think of the article (you can leave a reply on the site) and explore the website a little too. Our mission statement is essentially to create an entertainment website where readers can submit content and collaborate to produce intelligent and thoughtful content. http://www.entertainment-bureau.com/walking-the-line-how-moneyball-succeeded/ We're also looking for writers. Please PM me for more info if you're at all interested in writing articles. This can be a regular weekly feature or a one-time shot at any opinion you'd like to express. Thanks for your time, guys. I realize LAMPs can be annoying, but I'm committed to getting this thing off the ground. Any support you can offer (leaving a comment on the site, reposting the link to other boards, etc. will really really help. I appreciate it. -Sage

17 would have been pathetic enough, but I believe they were actually 7-20 in September.

Bills are 3-0. Yankees headed to the playoffs. Sabres look great and hockey actually has a chance of being notable this year without the NBA. This is sports nirvana, I believe.

I trust that Walt will figure out some angle of attack. Remember what happened the last time he was a cornered animal?

Welker's a pansy? That's just blind homerism.

I was about 99.9999% sure that was gonna be Peter Pan guy.

I apologize. I admittedly didn't see the post where you linked to Jalen Rose's quotes and I think we were talking about two different things. My mistake, and the problem you cite is a real one. I can't understand why education and pragmatic achievement are treated with derision from a large portion of the black community. For the record, I think Jalen was unfairly criticized for that whole flap. In using the term Uncle Tom, he was merely explaining his perspective as a misinformed 17 year old. That same 17 year old probably also would've thought of the 40 year old version of himself wearing a suit and tie and doing analysis for ESPN as an Uncle Tom.

You're mistaking the issue. Probably intentionally, but I'll explain anyway. Nobody's looking down on anybody for being intelligent, it's the attitude that an articulate black man is a novelty that differs from a fictional norm of uneducated simpletons and thugs speaking in ebonics.

Do you really believe that?
