Just a couple of comments by a way too old guy who had to look up the song on youtube: 1. Talk about inappropriate songs as sports anthems: "Sweet Caroline"? Really? 2. For those who pay attention to things outside of our borders, the Liverpool soccer team in the EPL sings "You'll Never Walk Alone" before every game? What's that all about? 3. If my girlfriend was swapping bodily fluids with some other guy, I think writing a song about it is the last thing that would come to mind. Just sayin'.

Bears look like they're wearing hockey uniforms. They should be banned and the team should be docked a draft pick.

Hard to imagine we ended up here when Isaiah Hodgins was available just a short while ago.

compensatory pick to the Patriots prolly

Dunno, I think Marino maybe had better coaching, some guy named Shula for most of his career then Jimmy Johnson. If you want to visit these guys, take a short drive to Canton, Ohio.

Tucker's a good choice because he can sing the national anthem, saving a roster spot.

In Buffalo, "accountability" is shorthand for "fire the special teams guy, then tell everyone move along, nothing to see here"

I'm glad that the Blue Jays lost the WS. Can you imagine Toronto Bills fans after we make our inevitable early exit from the playoffs saying "Well, at least we won the World Series, eh?"

I heard that James Lofton is a free agent. He's probably better than any of the stiffs Beane would bring in.

I think Terry should hire him to coach the Sabres. How much worse would it be?

Are you REALLY following Shaq Lawson? You need to have a serious talk with your pastor or whoever.

The more I think about this the more absurd it seems. Between the play clock going down (should NEVER happen in a billion dollar business), and not having a fair solution when the play clock goes down, and having one less official with the umpire doing two jobs AND keeping the play clock (you'd think this billion dollar business could afford to have a relief official available at all games) and the Bills getting a false reading from the play clock when it finally came back on and wasting a play because of it, all in a ONE SCORE game on national TV, is anything going to be done? I'm guessing that's a hard "no"

Be good to her. Sounds like you outkicked your coverage.

I'll bet the OP really hates it when someone adds a post to this thread and bumps it up the list.
