Also, don't forget Spikes is on a one-year deal. If he tears it up, he'll want a boatload of money next year. Maybe we pay, maybe not. Or maybe he struggles. Either way, Brown gets a year to get comfortable in this defense, and possibly has the talent to replace Spikes either because he wants too much money, or he doesn't live up to standards.

Bad drop by Stevie, but holy turnstile, did Brown even try to stop that rusher? Cheese n crackers, that guy really sucked.

I think every thread needs its own "I said this XX years ago and got flamed for it!" post.

Great stuff, thanks!

I feel like this every year it seems, but I do see a lot of hope for the team this season. Many reasons to think so.

Yep. Also thought it was interesting that the quotes are that it's Pegula and his wife that are interested, not just Pegula himself.

Count me in the group that doesn't care a whole lot about who buys the franchise, as long as they keep the thing in Buffalo. So yeah, this is great news. Sorry if this was asked elsewhere, but do Pegula or Golisano have kids? I mean, heirs?

Those anesthesiologists are trouble, I tell you. One of the things they try to teach you when you start residency is to never, ever prescribe medications for friends and family members outside of the office, no matter who it is or what it is. Somehow it will come back and bite you in the ass. It's difficult to turn down your spouse or good friend, but you'll be glad you did. They never did teach us about sexting, though...

That might work, but I wonder if that's too much of an advancement of the Brienne/Pod story.

That was just the first day of battle, still many thousands of wildlings left. I thought they generally did a great job with the battle. Stannis will show up in the last episode to save the day, as expected. One thing I don't remember -- does Jon go beyond the Wall before the war is over? Not sure exactly where they're going with Arya/Hound, although they've set things up with his festering neck wound. I think the last episode will feature four major events -- the Stannis rescue, the Hound's "death", and they have to include Tyrion's revenge. The big question...do they reveal the fate of Catelyn to leave everyone hanging at the very end?

My stepfather was in the British Navy during D-day, and drove one of the landing crafts at Juno beach. We were set to go to the 70th reunion in Normandy (right now), but he fell last September, broke his hip, and ended up passing away shortly thereafter. He was 92. He would have really liked that.

Done.

Excellent news, indeed.

I don't really remember a lot of the episodes, but one that seems to stick in my mind is the one where Sulu gets trapped on that really cold planet and almost dies waiting for the crew to get him. For some reason, I always thought it was cool that he generated heat by using his phaser on a rock. By the way, and I'm not kidding here, Spock is a blood relative of mine. Distant, but related. It's always hard to remember, but I think he's my second cousin, once removed.

I heard GRRM at one point admitted that he probably made the kids in the books too young. Should have made them a little older.

It seems like they're growing her up a bit more quickly than in the books at this point. She is giving the impression that she understands the power she could hold over Littlefinger -- and others -- but I didn't get that (yet) from the books.

:lol:

Robey gets a would-be sack on a corner blitz in OTAs. There. Everybody feeling better now?

Or Bobby Chandler at WR.

Does anyone with more knowledge than me about PSLs understand how they work? If you pay $3K for a PSL, is that a one-time purchase that cannot change? In other words, if the Bills decide five years later to increase the cost of PSLs to $5K, do existing PSL owners have to pay the difference? Also, if a PSL owner chooses not to buy season tickets in a particular year, does that typically mean the PSL is forfeited? Does the owner get the PSL license money automatically refunded?

That's right. And not one !@#$ing day earlier.

Excellent movie. Not sure I'd list it in my top five of all time, but absolutely worth the watch.

Apparently, the best movie of all time is Empire Strikes Back.

Yep, this one's starting to get some good air time here. Should be fun.
