  1. Man I loved that show. Casting was genius - lots of washed up or out of work actors playing washed up or out of work actors. It was perfect until some of them got better jobs and they basically lost their entire cast. Glad they knew when to quit, unlike a lot of shows.
  2. I'll be honest - even this year's playoffs bored the hell out of me. NFL football just seems sterile now, for the most part. I love watching college football though, so I'll have that.
  3. Like many others, I'm only done if/when the Bills leave WNY. I'll be done with the NFL too, no real sense in watching anymore, for me, if the Bills aren't around.
  4. No, I got it fine as well. The Pegulas obviously need to adjust to their primary audience - Buffalo natives
  5. To be fair to Trebek, the producers/judges of Jeopardy are pronunciation Nazis.
  6. lol Love all the boomers complaining about the "cartooning up" and whathaveyou of SW/comic book movies. Hey guess what, comic books are geared toward kids. And hey guess what: SO IS STAR WARS. GTF over yourselves.
  7. Really? I figured they'd be **** on a pita. I'll have to give it a shot.
  8. It means that the BBMB refugees are rather fond of starting a thread for every inane thought they have, when said thought could easily fit into an already-started thread, keeping the board free of clutter.
  9. I'm not ready to guarantee that the Chiefs make the playoffs. A wait-and-see mentality is IN order here.
  10. True, and hindsight is 20/20 and all that, but I can't help but think Mahomes is in a much better situation development- and coaching-wise than he would be in Buffalo. Maybe that's the loser mentality but I don't think I'm the only one who thinks that.
  11. The problem with thought experiments like this is that it's not a one-to-one comparison. Mahomes might well be worth the third and next year's first - to the Chiefs, who have the enviable position of having their playoff-caliber quarterback (some may argue that Alex Smith isn't really a playoff-caliber quarterback, but results speak for themselves) under contract for another two seasons. The Bills have the rather unenviable position of consistently missing the playoffs and not having a playoff-caliber QB. So no, a project (like Mahomes) would not be worth those picks - to the Bills. It's rather possible that neither team got a bad deal here - there isn't always a clear-cut winner and loser on every draft day trade.
  12. Obligatory reminder that Paul McCartney has been dead for over 50 years. Suckers.
  13. Yeah it starts way before the pro level - even when it comes to which sports the kids play, and it's more than just physical characteristics. The richer kids will play golf, hockey, and lacrosse while the poorer kids will play basketball and (in any place that isn't the USA) soccer. So once you get up to the pro level it's already been long decided what "type" of person you end up evaluating.
  14. That !@#$er was long. I have no doubt that's true. And the point about people inside the sport ridiculing people who come in from outside the sport is well-taken. The people that played and/or coached the sport are probably highly susceptible to basing their "predictions" for players based on what they've seen in the past. But calling it a racial "divide" is sanctimonious at best. Sports, especially the NFL, is big money, bigger than it ever has been in history. The idea that scouts and GMs are consciously trying to keep a divide going is ridiculous.
  15. I refuse to give The Unduhfeetehd any clicks. That said, pro sports are about numbers and how well you can play. Don't think there are many scouts or GMs who care much about anything else.
  16. Well several people on this board have sources and the legitimate ones always make sure to compromise their relationship with their sources by giving tons of random internet strangers inside info, so I imagine you'll have your answers by 5:30 or so.
  17. Probably drinking beer and practicing at home, waiting on the updates from WGR.
  18. No way, that's when they can pat themselves on the dick for being so with it! After all, it's the current year!
  19. Make that lunch a wet lunch for them and I'd pay $7 a month for it.
  20. Suuuuuurrrrre he was. Wonder how big the insurance policy on that rabbit's life was.
  21. Classic ESPN. Hemorrhaging money because your content sucks and barely qualifies as sports anymore, so who do you cut? Some of the best actual, you know, reporters that you have. Meanwhile the abortion that's on at 6 now with Michael and whatshername with the latest reports on where NBA players' girlfriends are going on vacation continues. Not to mention giving LeBetard his own TV spot with the mannequin that sits next to him. Some people weren't made for TV. Good !@#$in' riddance, ESPN. Hurry up and die. Edited to add: you know what? They should go to a 24-hour loop of classic sportscenter. Get two anchors who can actually talk sports with highlights and the occasional sports news from some actual reporters. Re-shoot every 12 hours. I'd watch that until I fell asleep every night.
  22. I went there once and received the shittiest service I've ever gotten at a restaurant. Food was good through and very reasonable price-wise.
  23. Started a new job recently, so no summer travel this year. I prefer using my vacation time/money going to warm places when it's cold here anyway. Couple of weddings to go to, both are gonna have open bars and single women. Lots of drinking outside my favorite bars. I'll make the best of it.
