It's easier to avoid something happening in one stadium (Hardy/Brown/Mixon) as opposed to something happening in multiple stadiums (kneeling). That said, why do we always consider these groups to be mutually exclusive? There are going to be plenty of people who fall in both camps at the same time.

I'd rather go with a steak fry as opposed to the thinner ones. Any place where you can clearly see them slicing their own fries always climbs up my list immediately.

Out of all of the suspensions they've handed out, were there any where the suspended player wasn't the person who inflicted the actual abuse?

I'm with you on this one. A close second would be the sour patch watermelons. My friend and I always called them crack watermelons.

Out of all of them, I kind of wish they wouldn't phase out Thor. It feels like they've just started to make him into something bigger. I guess they probably can't do much with him if he turns into an overseeing god type like Odin, but it could work for brief cameos if Hemsworth every wanted to sign on for something like that.

I'm about halfway through the first season of Ozark. I've been busy and haven't been able to get back to it for about a week now. I'm very curious to see where it goes the rest of the way. It seems like it could branch out a couple possible different paths.

I just can’t get past the insanity that revolves around Cruise. I have no interest in paying for anything he does.

Bean bag? What the hell is in there?

I'm not sure what the purpose of an offer sheet would be. Toronto is going to back the brinks truck up to his house anyway. You can't stick them with a cap hit they weren't already expecting and they certainly don't have any issues with spending money.

I'm a 2000 graduate, so I'd go back and tell myself not to bother watching football anymore.

Quite honestly, I'd say that Murray's biggest error was that he pulled the trigger too soon. That group should have been allowed to grow together a bit before they made all the trades to add in the bigger pieces. So far that appears to be the difference here. I fully expect the trades to come, but the team is going to be allowed to gel first. And yet I have no idea what any of these words mean. And should never be mentioned again, an annoying clique mentality that ruined a lot of good things.

And defense is the one position where I'd say that you can never have too much talent. I think you can overcome deficiencies among the forwards much easier than among the blue line. Now I know some might say that Pittsburgh won back to back cups with a mediocre group of defensemen, but that's a hell of a lot easier when you've got a center combo of Crosby and Malkin. Also, right now, this isn't about winning the cup. It's about getting back to respectable hockey, a team that actually wins a good number of their games.

I'd throw Ristolainen in with that list. He's asked to do too much at this point, but if Dahlin comes even close to what he's expected to be, suddenly Ristolainen becomes a very effective player on this team.

2 episodes in so far. I really have no opinion at this point.

I really wish I had photoshop skills. So much fun could be had right now.

The iteration that had McCabe going over there made the most sense to me. If they're moving Pareyko, they're going to need something coming back on the blueline. Maybe they would make that replacement on the free agency market, but I think they'd much rather get the guaranteed return of depth from the trade itself.

I have to leave a fleece jacket on my desk chair each day even though it's currently 90 degrees outside. I almost need to leave some gloves here too. And I'm a person who almost never gets cold. At the same time, my boss's office is about 20 feet away and she's always saying it's way too hot in there. Maybe they'll finally get it right when we move to a new building later this year.

It would be an awfully strong return.

What, the attempt to shoot down the idea that a deal is in place?

It's been ages since I've seen that show. Was Garak the main cardasian? And I hate that I can't name that alien race right now with cringing a bit thanks to our modern day pseudo-celebrities.

So in other words, they would be paying the bonus this year. That's what you can expect from any deal they make for O'Reilly.

The bonus is meaningless at this point. Buffalo can make the trade today while still paying the bonus. It would be listed as future considerations and then once the bonus has been paid, those future considerations are officially announced as O'Reilly. That or they reach a deal and then just wait the couple days to make it official.

And the gimp? edit: Oh yeah, it's obvious... Wesley Crusher

But hey, he's still a choir boy compared to what the Bills have up on the wall.

I was a fan of the drums originally. My dad and I would always be racing to find as many of those as we could. At this point, I think I'd want a 50/50 split. Both have their moments.
