Well, since he was the guitarist, I'm not sure I'd believe him.

Great tune. I can only speak for myself and the few other avid Police fans I know, but I don't think it's an overlooked tune. It got significant radio play, but it definitely isn't what I would call one of their, "poppy," tunes. I like Synchronicity I better than II, but I think they're both solid, real-deal, Police tunes. Miss Gradenko and O My God really kick it old school.

Look where it got Tyrod. he he he

They're just reporting news. It wasn't a op/ed piece. Can't fault ESPN for reporting what they heard from their sources.

I thought Myles Garrett accused him.

@Albany,n.y. - We beat out the Jets. WOOO HOOOO!!!!

Yeah, the Smiths were certainly not mainstream, but definitely excellent. It's really about who wanted to make some coin. Some completely sold out (U2) and some just did a little (Police). But the Smiths, I'm sure, made significantly less money by staying true to their sound.

Perhaps the bands with the most integrity, but certainly not the best. The Police, in my opinion, are one of the greatest bands of all time. They created their own genre and have never even come close to being duplicated. Plenty of radio hits. But no more than a few songs in any album. The rest of their catalog is phenomenal. And those radio hits made them all multi-millionaires. I can't knock them for that.

Yeah, man. The 80s actually pumped out some great music, but the pop/radio scene was atrocious. The Police (Sting, really) were really smart the way the went about it. Starting with Zenyatta Mondatta (3rd album), their hunger for radio play was apparent. Don't Stand So Close to Me is actually a quality tune, but was very radio friendly. And - as Pooj stated - they had a great video to back it up. De Do Do Do ... was pure cheese. The rest of the album was absolute GOLD (probably my favorite Police record). Then came along Ghost in the Machine, which was a total separation from their previous three albums. Fantastic record. But Sting wisely wrote Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic. Great tune, but it tugged at the girls' heart strings. By then, they were pop stars and even Spirits in the Material World took off as a single. That song would have gone nowhere 2 years prior, but Zenyatta built them some star power and some radio play "cred." By the time Synchronicity came out in '83, they had a healthy mix of fans who loved the old stuff AND the new stuff (because it still had quality tunes outside of the pop crap) AND fans who only loved the cheese. Result - selling out Shea Stadium (and everywhere else they played). That's how it's done.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I noticed! Just didn't want to "grammar cop" you!

That seems like a very hasty/lofty label for just one solid season. I'm going to wait a few years before giving anyone that kind of crown. Just like I'll wait a few years before deeming someone "not good enough."

That is classic.

Please don't let Familia answer.

Perhaps I was being a tad harsh with regard to the Browns game. Losing to those scumbags stung.

With the "Old Spice whistle," playing over the PA system!

The assertion (not by me) is that the Bills are 7-3 primarily because of the defense and the Ravens are 8-2 primarily because of Lamar Jackson. The Browns embarrassed the Bills' D (in addition to the Eagles doing it). Don't get me wrong ... our D is great. I think they've played incredibly well, overall, this season. I think Baltimore's D gets the edge because of takeaways. My main point was that Josh Allen's performance has significantly contributed to the Bills' wins; it's not just the defense winning games for us.

Since this is going to be updated weekly, can someone please have mercy on my soul and remove that goddamn apostrophe??!?!?!?!?!

I meant it more from the standpoint of crossing genres to expand his fanbase, really - not so much for money. But expanding one's fanbase does = more money if done properly. Sometimes people fail at it. Steven Tyler made a country album that about 7 people worldwide cared to purchase.

I'm actually thinking that last year was the best season he'll ever have and that he's a great QB, but not the Immortal God everyone made him out to be.

Wins and Losses are team stats; not QB stats. We've lost three games. In two of those games, the defense got absolutely gashed to the point of embarrassment. And you've been shown by two people why your assertion that Buffalo's defense is better than Baltimore's defense is 100% incorrect. You should stop beating that drum.

Happy Birthday, Guff!

HFBD, NG!!!!! Hope you have a great day!

Hold on just a minute, sir!!! This is only true if he's a really, really good player!!!! The NFL has bills to pay, you know!
