That movie at the time was a great flick. That being said Tarantino is very overrated. The Kill Bill Movies were alright too.

The Big Lebowski is a great flick. Like Ron Burgandy, its a movie that gets better every time you watch it.

I think the other "big" movie I don't mesh with is The Hangover. Meh...

In fact, Will Ferrell in general.

The only good thing he has ever done is "ELF." My kid and I like to watch that when we knock back a few Genny Red Labels.

He makes good films, but I just think they get too much hype. Kill Bill for example was so unconvincing to me. The fight scenes that is.

I think he's an acquired taste, but it's definitely not all good.


Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained, Reservoir Dogs, to me, are film classics.


Kill Bill, Jackie Brown and Inglorious Basterds, not so much.

One week ago, we spent an entire day arguing whether the lack of any news regarding the hiring of assistant coaches meant that the Sabres were doomed under Ted Nolan because nobody wanted to work with him.

Now, the entire roster of assistant coaches has been filled, and with less than an hour's discussion, we have moved on to movie directors.

What a place to kill time.

OK Dad. Anyone from SNL after the 70's is terrible. We get it.

If you get a chance to watch Brooklyn 99 its is a pretty funny show. SNL Alumni Andy Samburg is in it.

Samberg is hilarious. Never watched the show though.

His Musiv video parodies are great

He got sent home for the rest of camp. Didn't seem too bad. Likely just don't want anything to happen to him that could jeopardize his future in camp. Got stood up by some 5' 11" defenseman.

I was going to mention that if we had drafted Ekblad somehow, some of the people here would be going crazy about how he is a bust.

IMO who draft you plays a big part in how you will do, but you still have to have it


Russel got paid and once he got paid, had no interest in staying in shape or learning the playbook. I doubt he would have thrived anywhere

if a team like the Jaguars would have drafted Peyton or Rodgers, I doubt the Jags would have a ring, but would have been a fringe playoffs due to their qb play.

Flaco, IMO would be another Dilfer or Steve Deburg if drafted by a team like the Raiders


If that makes any sense

There are places the "merely serviceable" quarterback works. However, those teams are just about dominant in some other facet of the game, usually defense. The Bills aren't that, and won't be any time soon.

I think they are very close to a dominant defense

They have 3 bonafide pro bowl lineman, a solid group of LB's when Alonso is healthy and a very talented secondary.

Belcher report said that Gilmore is one of the leagues potential breakout stars or something like that this season.

We have huge potential at WR and a great group of RB's
With the exception of Seattle and SF, who really has more all around talent than us?

Go ahead and try. I admire your perseverance. But I place too much value on my head to challenge brick walls.

Hey I'm the first person to be pessimistic about the Bills.

All I know from them is failure, however the Sammy Watkins trade changed things in my perspective. There is serious talent here. Undeniable talent IMO.

Spiller, Watkins, Woods, Goodwin

Mario, Dareus, Aaron Williams, Gimore.

All potential game changers.

I admire your will but some folks will never accept anything getting better in Buffalo. Life is just too short to be so negative.
