NASCAR's ascendancy to the pinnacle of American sport and subsequent fall from grace is much more complex than rule changes and team fluidity. The NASCAR phenomenon is largely attributed to the following: 1. Changing of the Guard: Today's drivers look more like a metrosexual boy band members and accountants compared to the characters of yonder. Back then NASCAR had personalities as big the engines with colorful names to match like Rusty Wallace, Dale Earnhardt, Dick Trickle, Dick Passwater, Jim Bob Cornhole, Bob Pisshard, and Anus McFlappin III. These guys were larger than life and put asses in the infield. No one is lining up to Kevin Har-whatever and Danny Ham-and-cheese on white. 2. NASCAR's popularity in the late 80s to mid 90s largely coincided with the golden era of mustaches and mullets. When high fashion and sport collide, you've got lightning in a bottle. Think zubaz and football or halter tops and soccer. After the fad dies the sport tends to follow. 3. Shorter Attention Spans: With our instant gratification, over stimulated, smart phone carrying, ADHD culture where kids can't sit still for 10 seconds let alone a 5 hour race, its a miracle that Americans figured out that people driving cars around to the left isn't really a sport but they DID! They really did. NASCAR is just asinine and despite all the demands on our collective attention, people actually thought about it long enough to figure it out. Remarkable. In conclusion, the rise and fall of NASCAR has happened.

You create a synthetic short on the NFL by short selling BUD, F, and U.S. Treasuries.

$20 says OP owns a footbath that lives right next to his La-Z Boy recliner. $10 says he still has a subscription to TV Guide.

You work 9 to 5, 5 days a week, sometimes 6, and you have to COMMUTE!! As if that wasn't torture enough they make you fly commercial like cattle? The indignity of it all!!! What kind of sweatshop are you working in?

Fitz-scream and the Comeback heard round the world is up there for me. The week before that featured another huge second half comeback against the Raiders. Its a bit sad that the Super Bowl years were so long ago that the warm fuzzy Bills memories in my adult brain are comebacks in another 7-9 season.

With that much dead money, the onerous contract, and mental/character concerns, I'd toss a conditional 6th their way and see what happens.

This is crazy stuff. A franchise QB being traded in his prime is virtually unheard of. This rift has the potential to completely change the competitive balance in the league overnight. I have no idea what will happen with the Colts and Luck but I'm pretty sure this story ends with a couple of dead hookers in Irsay's house.

Settlers of Catan?

You're right that its not like a knee injury because your knee only moves in one plane of motion. The shoulder is the most flexible joint in the body. Shoulder rehabs suck.

Then how did he get that roughing the passer penalty? I believe it was against the Jets and kept a drive alive.

If we beat the Jets I still think splitting w/New England and giving one up to the Chiefs makes 13-3 look quite difficult. Maybe 12-4 with a win against the Jets. Irregardless, its all a mute point now anyhow.

Splitting with NE and losing to KC and still finishing 13-3 would be a feat. I personally I think its unlikely. 11-5 maybe, but I admire your spirit.

Hes blowing up your spot. You should be concerned.

Hitting the lithium pretty hard today I see. Are you from Hemet, CA?

Get him some gloves!

On a scale of 1 to Kate Upton, just how fat is Benjamin?

Step 1. Process Step 2. Trust the Process Step 3. Step 4. Winning

I want to beat them this year and end this stretch of Patriot s@#$ before they both retire and Brady takes a job with Bruschi spreading Pats propaganda.

This guy gets it. And also, New England has no #Process!!!! How can you have any sustained success if you don't have your #Process??

That's all great if you're into cheating and getting lucky. The Bills have a #Process which is the only sure fire way to consistently win in the NFL. The Pats have a loose collection of unethical BS and stumbled upon a QB in the 6th round. Good luck repeating that for the next 100 years.

Then what, pray tell, is their process if its not random?

They have achieved sustained success but is it truly sustainable? Only time will tell. Look at my coin flip analogy. Getting heads 20 times in a row is sustained head but its not a process and only a fool would say its a sustainable run. Who is TravisYost? And why does he have so many heat maps on his twitter feed? Missionary. Time tested with over 7 billion success stories right now. Now THAT's a process. Having Tom Brady is not a #PROCESS. Only processes are sustainable.

They've had a lot of success over the years but its not sustainable. That was my point.

Maybe just once if someone would answer the damn question. CAN EL PEGUAL OWN BOTH THE F@#$ING BILLS AND THE SABRES?!?!?!?

Marmalard's political career was a total disaster but hes a fine GM.
