I don't hate this deal: Leave the defensemen out of this, it's basically Cozens and a 2nd rounder for a better, more consistent goal scorer. Still need a high-quality goaltender, though.

Can't really blame MLB. ESPN really has become "NFL Network 2" for the most part.

New blue sky users: the reason this place is good is because people don't reflexively yell at each other and assume the worst. Online interactions don't have to be so defensive and nasty all the time.Dunking on a bad take just gives that take oxygen. We can all do better but we have to try.

BTW, “Personal Jesus” is not a song about Jesus. It’s a song about Elvis Presley’s marriage to Priscilla.

No, just no. You don’t use “Personal Jesus” for this. Especially not Johnny’s version. ALL THE NO.

I kinda like that Gary Shapiro is holding the NAB's feet to the fire and calling them on their "local radio matters" BS by pointing out how few employees are left at local AM stations.

Oh this is just *delightful*: for the opening of his documentary on the history of music on SNL, Questlove produced “a high-speed, six-minute DJ mix of SNL music highlights”. So good you’ll want to watch it way more than just once. [kottke.org]

Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result. Being a BIlls fan: Running into KC in the playoffs over and over again, and expecting a different result.

Welp, it's a one-score game, but it's clear that Buffalo's going to have to follow the Philly game plan from earlier today. The only way to stop this KC offense is to force turnovers.

Brady nailed it. Lining up Brown and Lattimore there was pretty much like lining up two enforcers across from each other. They were ready to drop the gloves at the whistle.

I'm going to credit Riley Dixon with that Washington 4th-down conversion. Clearly other punters saw what he did 2 weeks ago and started practicing their throws.
