He played pretty well in Washington until last year when the whole thing was a mess. Yes he never lived up to the contract but I think pretty much everyone other than the Redskins' front office knew he wouldn't when they signed him. Maybe he fell off last year and is done but I think more likely the malaise of the franchise infected him. I think the Bills could well get a very good year of #2 corner play out of him. Hoping for the same. A reunion with McD's system and getting out of the toxic waste dump known as "The Washington Team" should help anyone bounce back at least a little. 6 minutes ago, eball said: PFFfffft. ?

Not to stray too far off topic, but as someone who was already paying for Hulu, the Disney+ package is a great deal. Hulu, ESPN+ (w/Insider access), and Disney+ for like $13/month.

All Disney movies (full archive going back to the 50s), all Disney channel programming.

Plus the Hulu subscription which is current movies and programming. Plus ESPN+ which gets you streaming to all the ESPN channels and ESPN+ content (30 for 30 library, live MMA, international sports, and additional NHL games (when there was a season)). And access to ESPN Insider online. For $13/month Then I share logins with my siblings and get HBONowMax and Netflix in return. Add in the HD antenna (and the 40 stations it picks up), and instead of paying $100+ for crappy cable, I'm paying $13/month for more than we can even watch. Edited June 25, 2020 by DrDawkinstein 1

Both Netflix and HBO have come out in the past and said they do not mind account sharing, and have even setup Profile capabilities so different viewers on the same account can keep to themselves. They'd rather have a few people sharing an account and watching on the official app, than have people pirate their shows and not be able to count those views at all. Just now, teef said: we do the HD antennas at work for the tvs. it's great, and it's shocking how many channels we can get. it saves me hundreds a month. COMET is the best station I've ever found and it was never on cable. Makes switching to the antenna worth it. Great sci-fi and bad B movie content. 2

Gyms were scheduled to re-open up here (Capital District) next Wednesday as we enter Phase 4. However, an 11th hour change came through yesterday and said gyms, malls and movie theaters will NOT be part of Phase 4. Still very much in limbo. I know other small business owners, as well as some furloughed workers ... this has been downright brutal. I'm glad to hear you could make it through and get your doors back open. Cheers! 1
