Still too early. It all hinges on Josh Allen. We have to see him this summer and through the pre-season games to have an idea of how bad we are going to be.

Agreed. Dallas sucks. My friends from there remind me there is nothing to do there but shop at the mall.

Would like to see more creativity that takes advantage of Tyrod's legs/running ability; also need to find ways to get Spiller the ball in space.

I know just what you mean. So many shows feature the muscle man hacking away half the jungle with a machete on Day 1 or 2, but he has no means of making fire! No fire, no purified water. No purified water, quick dehydration. Another thing: some people rely on rubbing sticks together to make a freaking fire. A lot of time that just doesn't work, if, for example, their kindling material is not ultra dry. Bring a more reliable fire starter and get some clean water going right from Hour 1....the rest will take care of itself.

We did well last year when we enjoyed a crazy turnover advantage. Then we regressed to the mean and didn't do as well after. In the end, we got into the playoffs with only 9 wins and needed help to do so which we got. We are a leading regression candidate this year and will almost certainly be a few wins worse, all other factors being equal. But they aren't going to be equal b/c Tyrod isn't on the team anymore. Hence the 4/5/6 win predictions most are making.

I might rank the at-game experience for a Dolphins game as DEAD LAST in the league. Lots of places I haven't seen, but the atmosphere in Miami sucks! I would think anywhere where the culture is passionate about football, you'd have a good time. Dallas, Pittsburgh, Green Bay immediately come to mind. Seattle in recent years would have been good as well.

I'd put Jacksonville, FL, pretty close to the bottom of the list. Charlotte, NC as well. Many others to choose from too. Odd topic, to be honest.

He's your classic touring, working musician who can fill a 1,500 seat venue all day long, but that's kind of it. He's the sort of act that plays at Wolf Trap in the DC area or WNY's Art Park. The same crowd who would go see him (myself included) would go see Jeff Beck's current touring show, which is fantastic. But he isn't going to fill an 18,000 seat auditorium.

Years and years ago I was watching "Austin City Limits" on PBS. The announcer said something like: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome guitar phenom Kenny Wayne Shepherd" and this skinny 18 year old kid (?) came out and jammed on his Strat for like 20 minutes, without any other musicians on stage. At least that is how I remember it. I was just blown away as this guy was just improvising and riffing away non-stop and he was so young! Serious, serious talent. A prodigy. I have tried to find that Austin City Limits episode ever since, and cannot. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Give him the MNF job and get rid of Beth Mowins. It's not an anti-woman thing, it's an anti-Beth Mowens thing. Her voice is so grating.

I hear he also ends up on the $20 bill.

I have now seen this thread title 10,000 times and every time the misspelling of the guy's name bugs me. It's SCHNATTER. And PS: never buy pizza made by a guy named Schnatter. It reminds me of "Mueller's" pasta I see on the shelves at grocery stores. Never buy pasta made by a German baker. And while on the topic, if you are buying dried pasta in a box at a grocery store and if it doesn't say "De Cecco" on the box, you bought the wrong stuff. It is usually a bit more expensive, but it's the best you're going to do with that type of pasta. Barilla works, in a pinch, if De Cecco is not available.

Had season tickets to the National Opera for many years. Love the Kennedy Center and never saw anything bad in it. Compared to many big cities these days, most of the people at the opera dress properly, which I always enjoyed. Haven't seen Hamilton but it sounds great.

Actually, it's the Jersey Shore Edition. Considering this woman bludgeoned her mom and grandma to death and seems to be quite insane, I think the answer to the question is a curious, strangely compelling "yes." I have to assume drugs were involved here.

The '90s aren't my thing, but if I had to grab one song off the top of my head, it would be "Even Flow" by Pearl Jam. One of my all time favorite songs. It's heavy, has tons of energy, wonderful bluesy licks, and moves forward like a freight train. I am the world's biggest Zeppelin fan, and I hear a ton of Zeppelin influence in Even Flow, which is probably why I like it so much.

I thought he was worth around $3 billion, but then bought a football team for more than $1 billion. Anyway, he has a lot of money, and here's the kicker. When you have that much money, it grows out of control all on its own, for free, all the time, even while you sleep. No descendant in his family line, forever, should have to work a day....even for the next 500 years. It's good to be that kind of filthy rich.

Hopefully his grammar is better than yours. No offense.

It depends. Proper criminal investigation work isn't done overnight. And these cops are in Atlanta, GA. I suspect they aren't the best. It could take longer than you think.

I think it could be done more than people think, but if you had 1 really good QB, you would want him on the field all the time. If you have several QBs who are mediocre, the impact of switching around wouldn't be as great, but I don't think it would prove to be advantageous in the end.

Do we have info. on whether or not ESPN is retaining Rex and going to fit him into other plans? Or is he done, on the street? The funny thing is that we all criticize him for being a buffoon. Yet he is an expert and taking large amounts of other people's money, legally, in exchange for nothing. He's not as dumb as you think.

I love Canda. It's closer to its European roots than the USA is.

I'm not sure how they could be, but rest assured, if they could make a nickel off the protest controversy, their policies would change to support it.

I hope that is a facetious joke. I'm thinking it is not. Their "message" is our constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of speech/expression. If we don't support that, there was no need to fight Nazi Germany in WWII, or the USSR for 50 years during the Cold War.

Amen brother.

Thanks for mentioning this. I didn't know it existed, but I will check it out, starting tonight. Joe Rogan has had a number of survivalist guests on his podcast. One of them may have been associated with this show, I'm not sure. In any event, the topic came up that the survivalist was so good at "surviving" he knew how to deal with almost any normal situation, like a predatory animal or keeping warm or finding food, etc... But then it was suggested "What if you were way out in the middle of nowhere and ran into another person. That could be scary as hell." There's a foundation for a novel right there. I have seen many episodes of "Naked and Afraid" and there have been several contestants who had to tap out simply b/c they couldn't take having to live with their own thoughts, once their partner tapped out first and they were alone. There is one woman I am thinking of who was pretty hot and ex-military as I recall. She literally said she couldn't take being alone and dealing with her own thoughts. As it turned out, she had PTSD and they said at the end of the show, after she tapped out, that she had sought treatment and was feeling better.
