Uno reverse card?

Good thing this is a thread about Denny Killington then, eh? Sounds like a big step and a good opportunity for him, hope he finds success in his new role.

Um, Wat? Say more.

If Sam Darnold has any self respect he would pull a Nick Sirianni and tell the NYets "you can tongue my bean bag" if asked

Rodgers "football" crime is not knowing when to

Are we 100% for sure it was Ferguson's blocking assignment?

Did he seriously? That seems un-McD like. Can you point me at the presser or even about the time frame of the presser so I can go give it a listen? I'll swap you for this video of Dion Dawkins dancing Edit: to clarify, I'm not surprised that Smiley got the axe or in any way saying the Bills shouldn't have moved on from him. I'm just surprised if McDermott explicitly said that Smiley would return as the Bills ST coach next season.

Eh. This isn't the time or place, but maybe Google the term "Yellow Journalism". What I think happens is that balancing strategies lag technology. Then society adjusts. Maybe I'm wrong. But like I said, not the time and place here.

If you read a transcript of Florio's opinion on it (not linking it here), the viewpoint he expresses, is essentially that it should always be that way. And I "get" that's one viewpoint: the all-pro QB is the best QB, and isn't the best QB automatically the most valuable? How can it be otherwise? The counterpoint of course, is that "best QB" (especially judged from a statistical perspective) isn't necessarily the guy who is the most critical to his winning team's success. Of course, this is the argument that was raised last season, when Allen arguably had a better statistical year than Jackson by some of metrics: that MVP is not about "best statistics", it's about The Man, the guy who elevates the team. It's pretty clear this year, Jackson had a great statistical season but opposing defenses were very much game planning for Henry, as well

Was Saquon Barkley there?

I missed this before. Just watched the presentations of the nominees and announcement of the winner on YouTube As Josh is coming up the stairs behind him, is that D Dawk turning to block the other presenters for Josh? LOL

yes, we traded a 3rd for Amari

(here for the sick Chiefs burn) TL;DR a die-hard Eagles fan wants to stay home and watch the Superbowl in decent privacy without distractions so she can scream, cuss, yell, and express herself. Her boyfriend says she's "selfish" not to attend his family's SB party and "spend time with him during the game". Redditor "Outrageous-Scene-290" responds: As a Bills fan, I can totally relate and I can't imagine the correct response "Get Your Own Damned Beer, I'm Watching the Game" would win her points with his family.

Who TH is Scott Kacsmar and why do we care? Tom Silverstein

Cooper is going to be 31, and I think it's possible he just doesn't have the speed or the durability any more.

I understand why you're saying that last. And I would say that the Bills should go into the season with the assumption they still need serious help at WR in FA and/or the draft - whether or not they think those guys are busts. Unfortunately, Beane and the Bills draft history say they are usually slow to pull the plug on their top-3-round picks if they show Something, Anything - flashes, occasional good game. Boogie Basham is the only one I can think of where the Bills moved on before the start of his 3rd season; Zack Moss would be another, moved on partway through his 3rd season, and I think that would be because he went to Beane and expressed unhappiness. We hung onto Cody Ford, to our detriment, for 3 full seasons. But I think both Coleman and Kincaid showed more flashes than any of those guys, so I'm thinking Coleman will get 3 full seasons to show what he's got, and so will Kincaid. It'll be interesting to see what the Bills do with Kaiir Elam, going into his 3rd season.

Agree. I like "Destiny is Calling Me" with JA diving for the pylon though.

I believe Chris was simply pointing out the historical trends in the voting - it's been literally more than a decade since the 1st team all-pro QB hasn't won MVP.

I see it differently. She wasn't Josh's high school GF, though the families knew each other. She hitched her star to his during his first year playing for Wyoming when he was predicted to be drafted in the 1st round (but decided to stay in school). So I believe he was already predicted to be a 1st round draft pick with at least $4.5M signing bonus and $9M overall (32nd pick) when they started dating. I don't know the woman, since she was with him for 6 years hopefully they loved each other and had good times, but purely looked at from 10,000 ft view it wasn't like Brenda Warner or Fred Jackson's wife where they stuck with their husbands when they were stocking grocery shelves or playing arena ball.

I think Allen recognizes that other players had great seasons and could have been considered the MVP I don't think Tom Brady and Allen are that good of friends.

I think Shady McCoy ought to get an "I told you so" When he left Buffalo he was like "He's gonna be great, You'll See."

Sam Monson and Aaron Schatz LOL

Military and civilian aviation share airspace and sometimes airports all over the.country without particular problems as long as they’re talking to the same controllers (which these were). Reading the ASRS and some other articles, it appears that near misses aren’t limited to the military helicopters, there are apparently civilian medivac helicopters which have been involved. I’m not down with finger pointing and assigning cause before an investigation is complete, so we’ll see how that goes. As a general issue, IMHO having a heavily used helicopter flyway which passes ~200 ft below the altitude a jet flying a stabilized approach will pass through on a standard approach to a heavily used airport just seems like a Very Bad Idea. It seems to me clearance for that helicopter route should be withheld while those runways are in use for landing. That’s an operational decision that goes above the level of the guys and gals manning the tower though.

FWIW, an aircraft on final approach to land at 400 ft AGL or less would normally not execute a steep bank as an avoidance procedure, for a number of reasons The normal procedure would be to gain altitude ASAP. This is called a "go around" and should always be an option to a landing pilot for whatever reason - cow on the runway etc. Pilot tells the tower "(Call sign) is going around", puts in the throttles to gain altitude, follows subsequent ATC instructions as to heading and altitude, when the plane is stabilized tell them the reason that choice was made "be advised there appears to be a large cow on the approach end of runway one two" A glance at the runway diagram of DCA would show that a plane turning away from the helicopter would be turning into the flight path for Rwy 1.
