  1. I don't think Seinfeld's comedy is outdated but I've always thought he was the stand up comic for the boomer generation, with limited crossover. Not everyone "gets" his comedy. I always found the created side characters funnier than the main cast. I've been surprised at the Friends revival. To your point about old shows, the genius of In Living Color and Mad TV would never see the light of day with today's culture. I also don't think you could do dance shows today - Soul Train, American Bandstand, Dance Party USA, Club MTV.
  2. I think Joe Burrow is a far more consistent and composed player than Allen at this juncture. I think he will consistently give the above average performance, but the number of those truly great historic performances, especially in a pinch, will be limited. Josh Allen is this generation's Brett Favre or Kurt Warner IMO. When on, he's *on*, but he's not always going to be on. There will be mind-scratching throws and erratic performances. However, these quarterbacks can deliver those amazing performances - the comeback win, the shootout win, the Super Bowl win.
  3. I'd say no. Nick Foles knows the Andy Reid playbook. Plays without hesitation and makes smart decisions. Outside of said playbook, he's not all that good.
  4. I gave an A. I think you have two, possibly three players who will start multiple games in 2023, and they all appear to be legit football players, not athletes learning how to play football. I really like the Kincaid and Shorter picks. They are both talented at route running, and that's the key skill you want in a pass catcher.
  5. Top NFL team in talent at the FO, Coach and player level. The leap from the really good to great is 100% emotional and mental for this team. When this team's collective "head" is right, they can soundly beat every team in the league. That's the hard work for 2023.
  6. I think it takes two to tango. There's likely a 180 degree difference between the personalities of Ted Thompson and Brian Gutekunst that's also at play here. Things seemed to really sour between GB and Rodgers after Thompson passed away in 2021.
  7. Washed up has-been. If Twitter didn't exist, no one would care.
  8. Yep, we'll see. Colorado football has straight up sucked since the Gary Barnett days, and that was back in 2005. Recruitment wise, it's only up from here!
  9. Scholarship players on a team that went 1-11 last year are less valuable than having available scholarship spots for future players. Most of these players are average to good. That's what Colorado used to be able to attract - your average, slightly above average player. The media is making Montana Lemonious-Craig out as some sort of future first rounder that Sanders is casually letting leave. He's good, but that scholarship spot is likely going to go to a 4-5 star recruit.
  10. ...brought to you by "Mandy" and "Josh" in marketing. Spoiler: You get this kind of product when you work for the NFL but do not watch it or understand it. I bet the person who put that list together thinks Brees is still playing.
  11. The Patriots are prolonging their stay in mediocrity with keeping BB around. The Patriots should have parted ways with BB once Tom Brady left, commit to a tank season, get their cap healthy, and start fresh with a new vision and voice.
  12. $20 that the designers and those that approve the design are people: 1. Who don't watch the NFL. 2. Didn't bother to look at past jerseys. 3. Perhaps not even residing/working in the United States. (Football is soccer in the country I'm in, sorry...) 4. Programmed by years of design school (But...we need a wordmark!) There's no love of the game or the teams in these designs. Fans have far more creative ideas.
  13. That's like a low-rent Cliffhanger 2 sequel. Cliffhanger is arguably one of Stallone's better films not named Rocky.
  14. I'd kick the kid off the team and ban the kids and parents from participating in the league for a season. Once parents start being held accountable for crap their kids do (or don't do, like show up for school), the respective situation will improve. I think one of the hardest lessons you have to teach your kids as a parent is learning how to control your emotions. Fix that now before Hafid grows up and shoots a guy dead because he didn't use his turn signal while merging.
  15. I'd say no, but doesn't every player suffer in a Todd Bowles defense?
  16. Event Horizon. That movie unnerved me enough I haven't wanted to watch it again since - and I saw it when it first came out in 1997.
  17. Jalen Carter is Marcel Dareus v 2.0. Anthony Richardson: 95% athlete, 5% football player. He'd benefit sitting for 2023-2024 and learning the game but some team will make the mistake and try to play him immediately and he'll fare poorly.
  18. You get the best out of some football players on 1-year contracts. Shaq Lawson (and Jordan Phillips) are examples of such players. Each had their career year in a contract year, with a lot of average around those years.
  19. Plenty more Jim-Johnson style zone blitzes from all directions. I expect less of the "we'll predictably only rush four to generate pressure" nonsense.
  20. If corporate dreamed up "Bills mafia" for the fans, most of you would hate it. "Bills Mafia...brought to you...by Tops!" 850 million in public cash for a football stadium, regardless of where it is, shouldn't happen. The ownership of the Bills is more fragile than it appears. The Pegulas, IMO, are spread very thin as NFL owners. They have a plethora of business interests to manage, and continue to acquire or create new lines of business. Terry is 72, Kim's health is unknown, and their children aren't discussed as heirs apparent to PSE.
  21. I'd prefer Campbell over Sanders and Simpson. I think Campbell is the best combination of football intelligence and athleticism at LB in this draft, and will likely pick up the NFL game much faster than Sanders/Simpson.
  22. The 1980s. The decade had movies that defined whole new genres and created many successful actors. Examples: The "war" movie: Full Metal Jacket, Platoon The regular guy as action hero: Die Hard The buddy cop film: Lethal Weapon Woman as an action heroine: Aliens The sports film: The Natural, Major League, Hoosiers Action Comedy: True Lies, Last Action Hero, and I personally find Stallone's Cobra one of the most hilarious action films of the decade. New lines of comedy movies: Space Balls, Naked Gun, Spies Like Us, Uncle Buck, Home Alone
  23. Two names so far: Jim Trotter Rachel Bonnetta https://nypost.com/2023/03/28/rachel-bonnetta-out-at-nfl-network-as-staff-trimming-continues/
  24. Appears to be a great athlete who's learning the LB position. Endured 5 years of that with Edmunds. Henley as a starter? Not a chance. The 2023 Bills can't afford that OTJ training.
