The real question is: will she deny that she was coughing?

Dude -- this is decidedly not OK.

I listened to a podcast today ("The Watch" -- part of the Ringer's podcast network, ICYI) in which season 2 was discussed. Evidently, it will pick up the story in the same town with the same characters, plus a few new ones, not long after the conclusion of the events of season 1. And, if you're really jonesing, the titles of the season 2 episodes (9 next year -- 1 more than this year) were released and are floating around on the line. If you're mentally tough, you can order Netflix, watch the 8 episodes and cancel it when you're finished -- it's only $10 per month.

I saw Jason Bourne yesterday. Pretty average IMHO -- it felt like it was mostly copied-and-pasted from the other Bourne movies.

So you binged it to the end? My wife and I did the same thing, for our speed anyway. We got through it in 4 nights.

He's still RFA next summer, innit?

Jim Kelly won NINE playoff games. Romo has won 2. Romo has been a fine QB who has disappointed several times in the playoffs. Jimbo was a no-BS first-ballot HOFer. It's not even close.

This is what I was thinking too -- and the boneheadedness lies in him not realizing that CB is a terrible person to align himself with.

It was indeed a bonehead move by Kane, although not necessarily a sociopathic or misogynistic one IMHO.

Very nice. Separately: I'm feeling much sympathy for Vikings fans. I was just pondering how I would feel if this were to happen to TT. The season would be flushed immediately, and there would be plenty of long-term doubts about his viability as an NFL QB -- and thus plenty of long-term doubts about another lost 5 years for the team.

I'm guilty on this one too.

Vacation.

"JAG" = "just a guy."

It's got my vote for best TV series of 2016.

Who is the inside spoon?

Sorry Swamp. This is a great idea Hank.

Yes -- thanks Brawndo. Very glad to see Ennis is 100%. I think he's going to have a good year.

Interesting. How's his speed?

Why does this matter? Would you feel the same way if a Japanese actor voiced a white character? Also, it's "recommend."

I agree that these generally reflect the consensus around here, although I might add a few tweaks: Kulikov -- expected to be Risto's partner (and thus top-pairing); this feels like it's above his natural station. Regret in some quarters about giving up on Pysyk. Lehner -- yes, a question mark, but most love the fire and are looking forward to seeing him play a full season without starting off hampered by injury. That's all I've got.

An excellent, and underrated, action movie IMHO.

Correct.

Okposo. He's a very good player at a position the Sabres needed to improve, and he was the top free agent forward on the market (depending on whether you think Stamkos was on the market). It was a strong move by the Sabres. Runner-up: Kulikov for Pysyk. I was not a fan of Pysyk's, and Kulikov played a huge role for a playoff team -- and played quite a bit on the same pairing as Florida's #1 young franchise defenseman.

Kane. While I'm still very much on board with the presumption of innocence, it is undeniable that the likelihood of him having a great career as a Sabre has dropped substantially. Runner-up: not getting Vesey -- although more for what it would've meant in terms of the Sabres being major players in the NHL than for what it would've meant on the ice.

I agree on Ennis and Eichel not being a good match, and I'd be quite interested in seeing that top 6. I'd also like to see the following, though, and I think it may align more with DDB's thinking: Ennis-ROR-Okposo Kaner-Eichel-Reino I'd guess that DDB is still inclined to want to protect Eichel with 2nd-line minutes/opposition.
