See, the great thing about being a Bills fan is zero expectations. You can never be disappointed....just pleasantly surprised, like with the WC spot last year. I'm already halfway to my playoff goal: The Cowboys are out. I think you know what the other half is...

Joe keeps saying there's been no turnovers, but AFAIK, a missed 4th down gamble counts as a turnover.

Rams O-Line is dominating. You could have driven a truck through that hole Gurley ran through....

While I realize that John Axford isn't a guy who's going to change the Jays' fortunes by himself, there's something to be said about a guy who really wants to play for you and can provide veteran leadership in the bullpen... https://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/john-axford-potential-blue-jays-return-thats-want/ Sort of a Canadian Jason Grilli.... -
Best thing about this game is that the Patsies will have to go on the road, if they can get past the Bolts. (Which I expect them to do, but fervently hope they won't)

Colts fan says "FFS!"....Bears fan says "Hold my beer......"

To me it's a no-brainer. MLB contracts are guaranteed and Steve Phillips says that Murray is a "can't miss" MLB star. Combine that with the fact that KM is very small for an NFL QB and more money to be made in baseball, I think he goes to the A's. He'll be part of the NFL draft for sure though and he'll probably go fairly high.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the Browns have hired Freddie Kitchens as their new head coach: https://www.sportsnet.ca/football/nfl/browns-officially-name-kitchens-new-head-coach/ Personally, I'm looking forward to all the "Baker / Kitchens" headlines coming out of Cleveland. Now if they could just trade for Brandin Cooks....

Although I think a rebuild is the right thing to do at this point, it's hard to look at this photo and realize all of these guys are now gone: -
Yep. I watched a documentary about the Tenerife crash. The KLM pilot's decision making in that case is totally inexplicable. I don't know how the power of the captain on a marine vessel compares with that of an airline captain, but I got the distinct impression from the Tenerife Doc that everyone (co-pilot included) was afraid to question the captain's judgement, even though it seemed fairly obvious that he was making a grave error. I have to assume that a sea captain's authority is similar, although in the case of the Stewart and the QotN, it was officers below the rank of captain who were derelict.

Grats Strome! I guess it's off to your banjo lessons now, eh?

This is the thing with spills. You can have the best regulation in the world. You can require the best equipment, but it still comes down to people following the rules. Exxon Valdez...Queen of the North...Nathan E. Stewart...all because of human error.

Some good news for a change: https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/11/us/jayme-closs-found-timeline/index.html .....

It's a rebuild. The "tool" is still sitting in the President's office....
-
Yeah, it would be a surprise to see the Cards take another QB with their first pick. That being said, it will be tough for any team to pass on TL, no matter who they have at QB...
-
Sure looks like it so far... Nothing like watching 'Bama get thumped.

I'm not sure why you lump me in with those you mention in your first paragraph. My position from the beginning is that a pipeline is preferable to increased rail traffic, as long as proper consultation is done and adequate contingency plans are in place, in the event of a spill.
-
No, I got what Ryan was saying about emissions. I just used his post to point out a separate issue with moving oil by rail. The emissions are definitely an issue, but the bulk of the opposition seems to be about the possibility of a single catastrophic event, such as a spill, or pipeline rupture.
-
And as if to underscore this: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/no-risk-to-public-safety-after-cp-train-derails-in-southeast-calgary-officials/ar-BBRSXwk?li=AAggFp5 It appears as though there was no environmental damage from this incident, but in order to have some balance to the discussion, it's worth pointing out that spills due to derailments are much more likely than pipeline spills and in absence of the second line, transporting oil by rail is going to increase significantly. The puck idea is great, but if it doesn't happen, or is not of a significant percentage, the risk of environmental damage goes up, not down, without TM. I've said it before: Spend less energy vilifying the other side and trying to "sell" Canadians on pipeline expansion. Spend more energy making sure all the legal aspects are properly addressed and that there is a concrete, properly funded plan for a clean up, in the event of a spill. Then just maybe this won't turn into a multi-billion dollar boondoggle....

Showing all those replays of Parkey hitting the upright on the right....I wonder if he over compensated....

As a Bills fan, I can relate....

I'm almost disappointed the Eagles didn't convert. OT would have been fun.....
