    American Assassin

    I am also a big fan of the Vince Flynn books. I realize that the movie was loosely based on the book but I still loved it and hope they make so more movies. Actually there are books in the series that I enjoyed more than American Assassin. I thought the guy that played Mitch was great and I...

    I hope so. Dak will be fine. He has a great offensive line and the best running back in the business. To compare him to Kapernick, and RGIII is silly. Kapernick is a head case, and RGIII was a running quarter back who was hurt and lost his confidence.

    In 1993 I was working in Northern Spain and a bunch of us went to a local bar to watch the 1993 Super Bowl between the Cowboys and the Bills. Due to the 6 hour differential the game started at 12 0'clock midnight. When 12 o'clock roll around the feeds were pulled and we were left with no Super...

    Since I am the oldest guy here, the first professional team I rooted for was the Browns because of Jimmy Brown. Once he retired in 65 I believe I became a fan of the Cowboys which is dangerous where I live because this is Redskin's country.

    I love the 30 for 30 documentaries.

That one had me in tears because of what El Duque went through to get...

    All three of these games have been one sided. Hopefully the one coming up will be better. Football is a team sport. It sure as hell it helps to have a good defense if you want to win the Super Bowl. Peyton Manning did nothing when Denver won the Super bowl. Eli is a good quarterback, but there...

    I agree Eli probably belongs in the hall of fame, but having a great defense doesn't hurt either. Look at the last superbowl Peyton won. He was a total non factor, but the Denver defense won it for him. Winning is still a total team effort.

    This will be a tough game. I live in Redskin's country and Cowboy gear is not a welcome sight around here. I do think is great that both teams are doing well, because it used to be a great rivalry.

    I am not sure they should give up a bunch of key players to get Trout. The Halos had Trout and they ended up in last place. I also hope they don't end up giving that fellow from the Nats a 400 million dollar contract when he becomes a free agent. What the Yankees need most of all is pitching.
