The *really* Inconvenient truth for Nickelodeon is that Dan Schneider really made them who they are today. The network has sagged since they cut ties with him. If it weren't for reliable SpongeBob, nobody would watch.

What are you willing to give up in order to be "safe" from the germs?

I wouldn't forgive it. However, the government should permit student debt to be treated like all other debt as it pertains to discharge in a bankruptcy. Student debt is very difficult to discharge. The government could also cap the amount a student could borrow based on the subject the student pursues to minimize risk. If you're going for that art degree, you're capped at a lower amount than say a STEM degree or a degree in the trades. Higher education, as an industry, needs to be burnt to the ground and completely rebuilt.

I'd say the 2020 Patriots are the 2000 Bills.

My answer: Whoever hires the assistant coaches and coordinators. If you hire effective teachers and communicators, good results follow. That's a key difference between the Beane/McDermott Bills and previous Bills teams - they prioritize those skill sets over Xs and Os. Coordinators and assistant coaches make or break a team.

When John Brown is on the field, his presence makes the engine operate at its peak efficiency. I'd dare to say he's Josh Allen's favorite receiver from a confidence standpoint. I wouldn't want the Bills to let him go. I don't think there's any defense in the AFC that has the resources to shut both a 100% healthy John Brown and Stefon Diggs down, and it'll prove to be a catalyst in the playoffs.

That's such a classic. Here's another. +1

I think he'd fire McCarthy if a big name becomes available. I couldn't see Urban Meyer or Jim Harbaugh being a Cowboys coach, but somebody like that. McCarthy didn't learn from what went wrong in GB. He's just doing what he's always done.

"It is what it is." All my brain sees and hears is Faith No More when I hear it.

You're right. I guess when I see him in the highlights, he looks older, and I see an old guy who's not enjoying what he's doing.

Pete Carroll, Bruce Arians, Vic Fangio and Andy Reid top my "don't be surprised" list. Mostly because of their age. Carroll will be 70, Arians will be 69 with health issues, and Fangio will be 69 and looks completely miserable. Andy Reid, if he wins another SB, that might be enough for him and KC has the heir apparent in Bieniemy. My dark horse is Matt Nagy. I think Chicago might do some deep cleaning. It's not working there.

I think Howie Roseman and Jim Schwartz are out. The team plays hard for Pederson. The problem for Pederson is the league is solving RPO and Wentz doesn't have the mobility he had. They used to generate a lot of offense off RPO. Roseman has lost his drafting and pro personnel magic. They have a lot of ok players but few great players. The great players are getting old. His free agents never play because of injuries. The Schwartz defense fools no one. The Eagles are closer to a full rebuild than they are contenders.

I think it's hilarious that Tampa Bay selects the word "defense" for the part of the team that's on the field when Tom Brady is on the bench resting. I literally laughed out loud when I caught some of the game and saw Suh drop back in coverage and lumber after the KC speed. That was a Kansas City track meet yesterday. Bruce Arians is a lot like Sean McDermott and arguably most of the coaches in the league. Even when matching up against a great tactician like Andy Reid who knows where you're going to be, they still believe in *their* scripts of plays and will dutifully execute them. They then wonder aloud on Monday on what went wrong - it must be the players! I don't think the TB version of Bruce Arians is the engaged Indy-era or early AZ Bruce Arians. He looks like a guy just collecting a paycheck ever since the health problems.

If the Saints choose to ride or die with Hill at QB, they will die in their first playoff game. Defenses will shut off the run and make him pass....a lot. I don't understand why every team doesn't keep a QB and perhaps a kicker in isolation. Seems like a shrewd move, especially for playoff teams. Having the Broncos situation happen to you in the playoffs is a job termination-level offense IMO.

Brown makes that offense hum. When he's not on the field, it never hits that next gear.

The only time period in recent memory where I remember the Lions being somewhat consistently "good" was all the way back in the Wayne Fontes era where they got close to the SB in 1991. Jim Caldwell is the only Lions coach since Joe Schmidt in 1972 to have a winning record, and it's barely a winning record at .503. The Fords (husband and wife) never hired the right people. I expect now that ownership is in the hands of Sheila Ford Hamp, there's a chance things will be different there because although a Ford, she's cut from a different cloth than her parents and even her brother, Bill. I don't think she will keep Quinn and Patricia - they are as good as gone.

ESPN, Headline News and even MTV were the canaries in the coal mine. Cable news is at nearing the juncture where you'll start to see more frequent layoffs of established talent, retrenching of live programming and more less expensive pre-recorded slop at all the major networks. I think Disney will pull the plug on ESPN cable when the existing contracts expire.

Overall, the Bills should always draft football players who have a high intelligence for the game who are great athletes. Not great athletes that happen to play football. Sometimes they work out like JPP, sometimes they are CJ Spiller. Tight End. The Bills haven't invested in a blue chip prospect TE in decades. I find the current cast to be very average. Linebacker. You can't have too many linebackers. Safety. The Bills will need a new era of Poyer/Hyde soon.

CB was the AFC Defensive Player of the Year *twice* and the SEC Player of the Year in 1986. He's only one of 7 defensive players all time, and only the second defensive player since 1970, to win the Player of the Year in the SEC. It's always offense that wins that award. Besides the 5 Pro Bowls, 5 Super Bowl appearances, 3 time 1st Team All Pro selections, and starting 204 out of the 206 games he played, he had quite the average career.

Only if Daisy discovers the assassination plot aimed at Governor Morris on her first day at school. The show begins at the 3pm bell, the day before the California Presidential Primary.

No flu shot.

Hill probably knows the playbook better. Still a raw deal if you're Winston. Plus, they need to see what they've got in him since the Drew Brees era is ending in the near future.

Interesting topic. I've long believed the key to NFL/NBA/MLB longevity is league contraction, not expansion. If I were the NFL, I'd also be aiming to make the league better by getting rid of some crap ownership. Jaguars: Khan routinely threatens to move his team from one nonviable market in Jacksonville to another in London. Titans: The owners have absolutely no desire to remain in Nashville long term and will leave that city hanging while extorting another. This would also permit the Texans to once again become the Oilers.

Reminded me of the 2015 Aaron Rodgers to Richard Rodgers TD. Had enough juice on the ball and the Lions defenders went to catch it instead of treating the football like a volleyball and smacking the ball 3 blocks east of the end zone.

I hope he rolls out Daft Punk as part of the show and instead of making it woke which is so 2020, we make it *very* *very* weird.
