  1. If you want to keep it on the Royalty/Nobility track you can always try Downton Abbey. Its a soap opera, but a pretty good one. Westworld Season 2 started last night; I haven't watched it yet because the wife was tired, but I'm diving in tonight whether she's ready or not.
  2. Didn't recognize the name, but this is the song I recognize and I think most would: Great tune. Always sad to see talent get wasted so young. Edit: I think I actually like this one better:
  3. Wenger started at Arsenal the same year(ish) that Lindy started here. Impressive run for him, for sure.
  4. Schopp is OBSESSED with the schedule. All I really care about is the prime time games, really. But hey, local sports is in a bit of a rut right now, gotta talk about SOMETHING. You'll like this, Ink: https://www.sportsmediaguy.com/blog/2017/4/20/the-nfl-schedule-and-stupid-sports-journalism
  5. http://www.cc.com/video-clips/s8afso/comedy-central-presents-february-in-boston The first 1:25 of that. This weather has to stop.
  6. Everyone has Mayfield to the Jets, but I could totally see them going Allen for the exact reasons you list. Plus they're the Jets.
  7. I do sort of miss the days of it always being in NYC because the Jets always drafted (still draft?) TERRIBLE. Nothing like seeing the light of joy drain from every dude wearing green's face when the pick came out. I have no good reason for this, but I think I hate the Jets more than I hate anyone else in the AFC East, which would mean I hate them the most in the league. I love watching them fail. yes!
  8. This is the first post on the new page for me, so I am not going back to see what the hell happened. On the QB thing, if the Bills manage to stay at 12 and still Rosen that will be a coup beyond words. Heck, even if they move up to 8 or 10 or something to get ahead of Miami for it. If they can pick Rosen and STILL have the second first rounder that will be a great job by Beane and Company.
  9. If I could, I'd get my arms tailored to be a little shorter, honestly, haha.
  10. I've walked past that place before, I should stop in. If I have a choice I'd rather pay a local place 500 bucks than a chain 400. I really need one decent suit where the arms actually go down far enough.
  11. t h i c c Sabres, eh? Never heard of it. Is it on Netflix?
  12. The lesson from all of this is that Middle School children are the worst.
  13. I feel like its happened less and less the last couple of years. But to add to that: 1) They could be looking to trade out, so they have no incentive to tell anyone ahead of time and 2) They have the 4th pick, so they want to keep people guessing about what they'll do up top
  14. Any team that had Chiarelli as their GM is cheating for this :P
  15. Now on book 8 of 14 of Wheel of Time. Its getting to be a grind. But every time when I finish a book I want to go into the next one right away, so I haven't taken a real break.
  16. To the bold: I hate you To the rest of that second paragraph, absolutely. I spend a lot of Saturday or Sunday mornings that way.
  17. Hulu - - Has a lot of shows from Fox and NBC that are currently running, along with shows that used to run on those networks, and shows from other networks. New episodes of currently running shows will show up either the next day, or sometime within the following week. - It has a few original TV shows, none of which I've watched yet, but A Handmaids Tale has gotten some play with the critics, and my wife likes it. Some original movies as well, but I haven't watched any of those, either, and haven't heard about them. - Hulu has commercials, unless you pay for their big package. There are generally less of them than watching cable, but they are the same 3-5 commercials every break, every episode, which can be annoying. - Hulu has quite a bit of content, and its growing. They even have some pretty good movies and such on there. Netflix - - No new episodes of TV as the season is running; they usually get new seasons around when the DVDs would have come up; well after the season ends, often shortly before the new season. - Lots of great Original shows. Of all the networks, I think the only shows I watch regularly are on AMC, HBO, and Netflix. They have a wide variety of different styles and types of show. Bojack Horseman (weird/depressing/darkly funny animated show), Ozark (Breaking Bad in the Ozarks but with money laundering instead of meth and starring Michael Bluth), Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (Tina Fey produced sitcom with her quick paced, joke-a-second style and oddly upbeat), Stranger Things (Goonies, but Sci-fi/horror), and a bunch of others. Its all very, very good. They also have in-house movies, and I've tried a few and they were good, but they're not up to the level of the big movies houses yet, IMO. They have a sort of indie feel to them, if that's your thing. - No commercials on Netflix - Netflix has a lot of content, though as their in-house stuff grows they're losing a lot of their external content. More and more networks are making their own streaming services and pulling stuff off of Netflix (mostly NBC and FOX, who have invested heavily in Hulu). Honestly, as long as they keep up the quality of the Netflix produced shows I don't think they'll start really hurting. And they still have a LOT of other content anyways. They do also have their DVD service which can get you even more, but I don't know anyone who still uses that. Amazon Video - I have this, but I rarely use it, so I can't comment very well. I only have it because we have prime (which my wife makes uses of every week buying stuff off of amazon). - I don't think they have any currently running shows from the networks. They do have a lot of older HBO shows (Deadwood, the Wire), but we got HBO-GO last year so I haven't used it for that. But if you don't want to pay for HBO (honestly, you should, its worth it) you can still check out some of those if you missed them. - They have some original stuff now, though not much very acclaimed. However, they just invested A LOT of money into pilots from every fantasy and sci-fi writer you've ever heard of, including a new series set in Middle Earth (but before the time of Lord of the Rings). So this could be something they really get into in the future. - No commercials - They have a fair bit of content, but I've yet to look for something I've really wanted to watch and find it on Prime when it wasn't somewhere else. YMMV of course. Honestly, Prime is probably worth it for the free 2-day shipping alone if you buy a lot online, so this is a bonus. HBO-GO- - You can get this now without having the cable subscription for a slightly lower price. We did the free trial just to watch the last month of Game of Thrones last year and planned on cancelling it, but there's so much good stuff on there that we kept it. I think I've watched this more than any of the others since. You had HBO, you know what they had. Its worth it. I didn't go into "easy to use" to on this because, unfortunately, every device you play it on has a slightly different app and their ease of use changes accordingly. Hulu is the exception; they came out with a single app across all platforms recently. Let me rank the different companies apps, generally, as I see them from best to worst, Deadspin style: Netflix HBO Amazon Video Being slowly eaten by a million red fire ants as I lay in the desert sun Hulu
  18. In ROR's defense: I, too, lost my interest in the game this year.
  19. Yeah, its pretty clear to me that ROR isn't a Captain in this league. He talks like this all the time, whether its about himself or the team. You can't have that sort of negativity when you're supposed to be a leader. I think he's a very skilled defensive center and I'd like him on the team going forward, but give Jack the C next year and be done with it.
