Certainly the most annoying five-game point streak they've had in a while.

By a mile!

Lol good lord Sammy

I spent some time with Jim Downey, the guy who has some of the best lines in Billy Madison, One Battle After Another, and The Chair Company. Oh, and he was the longest-tenured writer in SNL history. www.theringer.com/2025/10/21/t...

Where has this Jack Quinn been???

This was fascinating, but ultimately pretty depressing: harpers.org/archive/2025...

People often say "don't piss on me and tell me it's raining." Not something I've ever needed to hear. I'll probably never even piss on anyone in the first place, if I can help it.

I've been tinkering with the "finished" version of the rough draft of my novel for like 10 months and I think I'm finally ready to let someone else read it. It's a nice feeling.

The Dodgers reacted to that home run like they saw Ohtani beat God in a fistfight

Total goals in the first three Sabres games: 12 Total goals tonight: 12

Going out sad

Reading this, I can't help but think I'd have absolutely voted for this guy had Scanlon won the Dem Primary. www.investigativepost.org/2025/10/15/j...

I think maybe the worst news for the Sabres is that the offseason plan is kinda working, even without Kesselring playing. They're allowing fewer chances, the PK has been perfect so far. Even with Lyon being meh (as expected), they've only allowed 8 non-empty net goals in 3 games. And they're 0-3!

I'm sure that over the course of the next two weeks, people will convince themselves that this is just the Bills normal midseason swoon and that everything will be fine. I have to say: IDK! The problems are more varied and the early wins are less impressive than in years' past.

He should have to go on the radio and apologize to Jeremy White.

Look, you just have to get to the bye and see if the offensive line and play calling and receivers and injuries and third down defense and safeties and corners and linebackers and head coach can all improve

I had zero negative memories of Tre White, aside from his injuries, before this season. Fuck Brandon Beane for changing that.

The Bills have kind of an uneventful history with the Falcons this century, but all things considered this game was far more thrilling than it had a right to be: www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/20...

I know this is insane to say about a 21-year-old getting roughly $70 mil guaranteed, but what a disaster contract for Hutson. Good chance he's making about 1/2 his value by the time it's up.

Saw HIM on Friday. Agree with the reviews - flawed, average, underwhelming, etc. But I haven't seen even one person mention that it's actually based on a week Andrew Luck spent with Peyton Manning in spring 2012.

Heard the second Boaton goal driving on the 190 and immediately turned off the game and put on MacArthur Park

An embarrassment of epic proportions

The highlight of this period has been the Boston organist playing "Basket Case"

As a Yankees fan, I've somehow sat through three separate 9 inning games that were roughly as long as this has been so far.

Watched the first four innings, went to the movies, came home in time to see that insane 12th inning. Think I might still be able to watch nine innings?

Week 6 started with a surprise result, will it end with one in Atlanta? The latest Sports Recorders is up. 90 minutes of truth & blasphemy about the Sabres, Bills, and the rest of the NFL with @taylornigrelli.bsky.social and old, old friend @dgwusports.bsky.social! www.patreon.com/posts/sports...

There are probably a lot of lessons to take from the Kyren Lacy story, but one of them should be that criminal defense attorneys are not inherently more trustworthy than the police.

After years of Judge (rightfully) hearing about terrible playoff performances, he bats .500/.581/.692 and everyone else sucks.

Had a blast chatting with @taylornigrelli.bsky.social about the Bills’ Big Picture while watching the Jags beat the Chiefs. The league is full of jamokes and the Bills aren’t one of them. www.patreon.com/posts/140637...

It was great chatting with @prescottrossi.bsky.social about the Bills/Pats fiasco, Week 5 across the league, and our beloved Buffalo Sabres.

I've had another great day on the Greek island of Naxos, made even better by editing @gregbauch.bsky.social's Week 5 NFL Recap.

Rolled my eyes at first, but his AHL numbers are intriguing.

Heartened to see some real pushback/criticism of the other Taylor. Let's keep it coming.

Sabres Friday news dumped the Adam Mair firing. Seems like an important position that you'd want to fill quickly, but I guess we'll see.

There's been 21 seasons since the disaster of the 2004 ALCS where the Red Sox permanently flipped the script on the rivalry. The Yankees have been better in 15 of those 21 seasons. Unfortunately, the Red Sox have won the World Series in three of those other six seasons.

An argument that seems to boil down to "many people are not 28, but some are"

Woke up thinking about my good pal Cam Schlittler.

Schlittler threw 90% fastballs, 10% breaking balls. All 18 swing and misses on fastballs. 12 K, 0 BB. Maybe the most shove it down your throat and nothing you can do about it pitching performances in baseball history.

Drive My Car, Worst Person in the World, Banshees of Inisherin, Tar, Avatar: Way of Water, Maverick, Oppenheimer, Holdovers, Zone of Interest, I Saw the TV Glow, and Killers of the Flower Moon. In some order.

The Luke Hughes deal should make everyone feel better about the Owen Power contract. Power's now only the 22nd highest paid D man and will almost certainly be out of the top 50 by the time his deal is up.

streets are saying the bills have sole possession of first place in the AFC

Annoying game and all, but the Bills have only been 4-0 three times in my entire life so I'm gonna keep complaints to a minimum for the rest of the week.

One Battle After Another was incredible. Totally lived up to the hype. Immediate Best Picture front runner. Some pieces I liked on the film: www.thenation.com/article/cult... by @johnsemley3000.bsky.social www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo... by @davidehrlich.bsky.social

Good stuff from The Athletic. I worry, though, that we're headed for another year of dismal special teams bringing down solid 5-on-5 performances and (slightly) improved goaltending, culminating in a 88-point near miss. www.nytimes.com/athletic/665...
