Max Fischer

Yeah, it's not like he was voted into the Hall of Fame. Wait, they put THAT guy into the HofF? I get it, in the 90 year history of pro football they must have let in, what, 200 coaches? Oh, 21? That's it? That can't be right, even Bills fans say he's a loser.

Don't disrespect Marv.

Perhaps not that sophisticated. Maybe Carrot Top?

I will take 8-8 . . .

Let's re-phrase - he replaced Trent with Fitz, he replaced Jackson with Lynch, we didn't have any LBs better than Kelsey and Johnson, he tried Levitre at Center and cut Merriman when he could not play the 4-3. Feel better?

So great

It is a waste of time to engage anyone who truly believes Obama is a socialist/Marxist. The same would go to debate anyone who says Bush was a fascist.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that this topic degenerated into a debate as to whether Obama is a socialist. Do you guys read your posts? Pretty embarrassing on both sides. Once posters use "townhall" or Mother Jones to back up extreme ideological views, it's a good indication that this isn't the forum for a rational conversation.

Well, after you trashed Nirvana . . .

You mean the guy who proposed what voters dislike? It is interesting that neither Romney nor Ryan mentioned it today.

Totally different dynamic.

Ah, the old "faith in the electorate" comment. Oh, please. Anyway, Connie Mack called Ryan's budget "a joke" and Ryan's proposals are/were very unpopular in FL. Thats just reality. But, hey, there is time turn it around but I wouldnt be surprised if Obama's folks feel a little easier about FL.

Agreed. Florida could be toast, and perhaps NC? I'm very curious about the Romney strategy. Obviously, they now have WI as a must get and I assume the same goes for Iowa, but I wonder how else they think Ryan could get Romeny over the top. Guess: CO, NV, VA, NH as well. I suppose they assumed Portman would not get Ohio, which would have been a much easier way to 270.

No one should use individual polls as each has characteristics that push results one way or the other. Gallup has a good rep among experts (R&D), while only GOP partisans use Rasmussen for anything other justifying their viewpoint on message boards. It's best to aggregate all the polls and weigh them based on histrorical data. See Nate Silver's universally acclaimed 538.com. Only the partisan left and right want to dismiss/praise Silver's work to suit their narrow worldview.

I seem to be in the minority, but thought most of the analysis was spot-on and criticism of his "inaccuracies" are mostly-nitpicks (that most of on this board have said the same exact things. - Fitz (who I like) is a decent QB, but not a franchise player with elite skills. His lack of downfield accuracy IS a problem that opponents have exploited. - Fitz's limitations ARE compounded by a mediocre receiving corps. I actually like most of the WRs, but not one is a great talent at their position. - The OL is good, but the best players have been hurt, we have a rookie and a few others who are OK. A lot could go wrong. - Spiller did split out wide. Not sure why the writer is beat on for that observation. - Gilmore IS more comfortable playing off, and the it would make more sense to have Byrd favor his side. Nothing wrong with that. - Mario is a superstar, but he HAS a history of injuries (keeping fingers crossed) - I have faith in Anderson, but he did disappear between his rookie year and last season. We should watch that. - The linebacker corps is just OK, there are many threads on this board complaining about it. BTW, Scott is a strong safety moving to LB on the pass. - He does praise the secondary, and his evaluation of each player seems spot-on. If the Bills struggle, I think this article would have been a harbinger of what held them back. However, it is encouraging that he is upbeat about the Bills and predicts a 2nd Place finish.

Especially if she couldn't talk.

So many things could go wrong, it would be amazing if this could work for a few weeks, let alone a few months.

Ah, so now we are clear. The football writers should put in the disclaimer "**The Patriots are not favored to win the AFC EAST because there is a chance Brady would get injured." I guess like 2008, they'll ONLY go 11-5.

Anderson Cooper will report live in a tight, black spacesuit.

I also trace my direct lineage back to King John. Actually I'm a direct descendent of all the English rulers up to Edward II, then splits off to other royalty up thru Sir John Savage who commanded Henry Tudor's left Wing when they defeated Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth. Cool stuff but, as you can see, there must be hundreds of thousands who could claim the same, including my cousins Reagan, Clinton, Bush and Obama.

I like boxing, but IMO, it's not a sport if the winner is determined by a judge.

Even more Eastwood. You could pair with any Hackman scene

Sounds cool. I've worked some pretty tough neighborhoods, I love watching basketball, but I wouldn't take my kids anywhere near there. But like any city, most of the bad areas are very contained. The husband of someone my wife knew was a SE detective. The most hardcore dude I ever met, he is (was?) crazy. He'd been shot twice, had more than a few other injuries from various weapons and had shot someone (I don't know how serious). If he wasn't jumping into bad situation, he was probably causing one. I'm pretty sure he was hopped up on steroids and uppers.

Don't cross the Anacostia.
