  1. Another album after Abbey Road was being discussed https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/sep/11/the-beatles-break-up-mark-lewisohn-abbey-road-hornsey-road “It’s a revelation,” Lewisohn says. “The books have always told us that they knew Abbey Road was their last album and they wanted to go out on an artistic high. But no – they’re discussing the next album. And you think that John is the one who wanted to break them up but, when you hear this, he isn’t. Doesn’t that rewrite pretty much everything we thought we knew?” Lewisohn turns the tape back on, and we hear John suggesting that each of them should bring in songs as candidates for the single. He also proposes a new formula for assembling their next album: four songs apiece from Paul, George and himself, and two from Ringo – “If he wants them.” John refers to “the Lennon-and-McCartney myth”, clearly indicating that the authorship of their songs, hitherto presented to the public as a sacrosanct partnership, should at last be individually credited.
  2. Since this got zero responses on the previous page and a post after it did: This is the accuser (from what I can gather) in a video with AB Does this look like the Brother-Sister relationship they had in her lawsuit?
  3. Devin Singletary almost singletarily got the Bills back All in all good job man!
  4. I was Oliver or bust and am still quite happy. I did want Sternberger though
  5. It's nice to be able to take a break from the AB nonsense and everything else and to be able to read a piece like this. We are bigly lucky that they own the team...
  6. https://theathletic.com/1189973/2019/09/11/talking-baseball-with-terry-pegula-whose-childhood-fandom-inspired-his-purchase-of-buffalos-teams/ He grew up in Carbondale, Pa., while a coal-mine fire burned for three decades underneath it. Pegula’s father worked in the mines, then found better work as a truck driver and mechanic. When hernia surgery prevented Myron Pegula from working for a year, the family waited in welfare lines for food. “Which was very embarrassing for me,” Pegula said. “I was 10 or 11 years old. We’d go and get puffed rice in bags, five-gallon containers of peanut butter. We didn’t have the money.” Aside from Channels 16, 22 and 28 on the family’s black-and-white Philco television, young Terry’s mind would float fancifully while watching the steam shovels and draglines excavate smoldering culm from the mine. The Pegulas heated their rented home with whatever coal they raked out of the dumped rubble. “I use Terry without mentioning his name when I explain to other clients what it takes to actually make a commitment to buy a team,” said Steve Greenberg, an industry titan who has brokered the sale or acquisition of teams in every major North American sports league. “There was no way Terry and Kim were going to be runners-up for the Buffalo Bills.”
  7. Others responded as I would have. He is by far more successful than the others, but his ego definitely holds him back. His power play to become GM this year and his moves since then are for the short term and is ultimately going to hurt this team in the long run. He's better than a bunch of HCs in the league (not saying much) and will most likely find a job after he is canned (even Gase & Rex got second gigs), but I really see nothing special about him...
  8. I was astounded. Fitz, Flutie & Drew were on my list. I'm also shocked that it went back to 92 with Kelly. I know that 300 yard passing days are like 400+ nowadays, but just wow
