Yep. Even extra points make me nervous. That's a sad state of affairs right there.

Remember WR Duke Williams? Duke Williams had the same fan buzz around him after a training camp of big plays. He ended up bouncing around between the practice squad and the 53-man. He eventually landed in the CFL. Shavers could end up the same way, he is one of those cusp players. He will bounce around between the practice squad and the 53-man. I don't see him permanently part of the 53. There is no Shavers problem.

Funny (to me at least)...I wanted to hear Dave Brubeck Quartet. I entered it into the search bar.. I fat fingered and clicked the wrong result and ended up with Beck, I liked it.

People should get a grip over so-called "taxpayer funded" Pegula paid more than the state, plus he is responsible for the cost over runs which are considerable. All for a building the state will own, not him. In the end, the taxpayers will own a state of the art stadium that they paid half price for. Some might say Pegula got fleeced.

Just throwing this out there, based on my previous car hunt.... Consider a Honda Ridgeline. It's a pickup, but the drive train is more car-like, a smoother ride.That was a consideration for me due to having a bad back. Better gas MPG than the Tacoma, for sure. EDIT: I just Googled and Honda is offering 0.99% financing. Good deal.

Defeat Monday threads are absolute dreck.

The Superbowl prospects come down to the defense. More specifically, Bobby Babich. The 2024 Bills defense was not very good. Some of that was personnel, but not all of it. I believe coaching had a lot to do with the defense's mediocre performance. In particular, what's the deal with their horrid third down performance? We also see third down problem in the 2025 preseason. Sure, Beane made some big personnel moves to improve the D, but will Babich take full advantage of his new toys?

Trubisky will start. McDermott will do that: 1) because Trubisky is going to be the backup, 2) a demonstration of gratitude/respect for Trubisky--letting him start in front of his former team/home crowd

Tsk, tsk. There's no room for harsh reality here.

I can stop hitting F5.

Where is the Cook deal? I keep hitting F5 looking for the $11M and I'm not seeing it.

I'm afraid Babich is just an "OK" coordinator. Top-20 material. It's a situation where hiring from within wasn't the best option.

I have no argument with the bolded... IF it is a contract offered after a stellar 2025 season. I merely take issue with Cook's timing. If his 2025 season is great, offer him $14M, no heartburn with that. He's looking for a payday 9 months too early.

60+ years and never a broken bone. <<knock on wood>> Not a single tattoo, which is a feat after 25 years of military service.

Heh. I haven't dialed up since 2000. Crazy that people still do.

Yes, some people here suffer what is known in psychology as Defeat Rage Disorder. Visit TSW after any defeat to see it in action. Individuals with conditions like ADHD, borderline personality disorder, or antisocial personality disorder may be more prone to Defeat Rage Disorder.

I liked classical music.. once. I guess it was a phase. I used to listen to it when I was programming, it was conducive to that. They play classical music in outdoor spaces where they don't want homeless people congregating. It drives them away. My local mall did it.

We have not had a good Fire McD thread in quite a while. There is so much new information to mull over since the last one. /s

Samuel 8 million AAV divided by 253 yards receiving = $32K per yard Shakir 13 million AAV divided by 821 yards receiving = $16K per yard Yeah, I'd say we are overdue for some production from Samuel.

Yeah, Sophie is the enforcer for the team. She's a twig at 6'1" but only 165 pounds... but she has a Black Belt, so nobody has really tested her yet.

I got the hots for Sophie Cunningham. When she shows up on my Facebook reel, I click on it.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I appreciate it. I actually bookmarked for reference. I once had Paramount+ and have to say HBO looks better.

I Googled The Wire, thanks. It had some good reviews, I will check it out. I lived in the Baltimore area for four years, so it may stir memories.

Later in August when all the episodes are available, I am going to subscribe to HBO I will binge watch all of them Then I will cancel HBO For that short period of time that I have HBO, does anyone know of any good shows there that I should watch?
