Only 4 is an impossible ask. Best shot: -- John Lennon -- David Bowie -- Jerry Garcia (wan't to say to no Jerry, but c'mon... it's Jerry and he's damn near family for a reason!) -- Eddie Vedder Honorable Mention and excruciating omissions: Roger Daltry, Aretha, Freddie Mercury, and Peter Gabriel.

Not to forget this gem of a moment that ended Miami's reign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKjw8slscUI

You ought to have a body cam for that walk. That video would be priceless.

What happened to "Make ME Great Again"?

What would the real Irv say? "Tea Town thug's terrible trips and tugs. Film at 11!

I cannot see any realistic path to Beasley being here next season. From a football perspective, Bease is aging FAST. Despite his grit and determination to play through pain, injuries will become the norm for him going forward. For him to play his A game, he will continue to take a pounding and his soon to be 33 year old body just isn't likely to hold up to that style. Look at the injuries he's taking on in just the last calendar year: leg fracture, rib fractures... Those are the signs of an aging athlete putting too much stress on his body and putting himself in harm's way too often. This won't magically get better as he continues to age. Beane gets paid to determine and reward what performance and contribution will be, not reward what it has been. When you consider the other factors of cap savings, depth at his position, and the divisiveness and occasional volume and distration of his public voice, I just don't see it working out here for Cole beyond this season.

This is fine. Just end them.

Monoclonal antibodies are easily available to the general public now. There is a clinic or two in most every town here in Florida. If you have a positive test, just go get some monoclonals... I had a good friend in Minneapolis test positive last month. Both he and his wife just went and got the antibodies same day they tested positive. The reported it as a very easy process. But once you get them, you cannot get booster for a few weeks. Two new developments that I have heard, but not confirmed... They are now considering offering them preventively and also, there are doubts that that monoclonals work well against omicron. .

So you're saying there will be a happy ending?

So as we are driving down the road every week and our OL keeps grabbing the wheel and steering us toward a tree, and then we look in the point differential rearview mirror and see that right behind us are two scary monsters that have a history of murdering us in our sleep, we should pretend that Steven King didn't write this season just to mess with us? My hope is that King collaborated on the screenplay with Walt Disney. It kind of feels like some of Walt's magic is the only thing that is going to fix this OL this year.

Teddie Bruschi laid hands on them all...

You nailed this with a ten pound hammer.

1) Throw to Gabe Davis and good things happen 2) Dane Jackson and Levi Wallace are assets. 3) The Tommy Sweeney experience, shouldn't be a thing going forward.

There is no deal. Sorry for the heads fake. I didn’t even realize the bold was on.

Are assumptions going to hold up over Omicron Christmas? I'm not banking on any assumptions or specific outcomes.

This is exactly the issue first came to mind when I read the OP question. I HATE NE as much as anyone could. But I'm also pragmatic in that I don't mind seeing the Colts taken out. I love Frank Reich. He is a wonderful man. I wish him success. And I most definitely prefer not to face his team again this year. They are kryptonite for this year's Buffalo Bills. Nothing personal... And that is the point that I wrestle with and what makes this Pats/Colts game so interesting. It's easy to hate that Pats and let everything flow from there. But if I stand in the future... say its early March and Bills fans, Patriots fans and football fans in general look back on the season, nobody will remember that we won the division if we get bounced by the Colts early and NE goes on a deep run. And on the flip side, nobody will remember or care if NE won the division if we bounce them from the playoffs. Does anybody still remember or even care that Miami won the division in 1992? Nope. What we remember is the Houston comeback, the road win with with Frank the following week in Pittsburgh, and beating the Fish in Miami in the AFCCG and going to the Super Bowl that year. And then the screen just goes black, kind of like the final episode of The Sopranos. Don't stop believing...

If you had to choose a playoff opponent between Patriots and Colts, which would you choose? Does that impact your answer to this question in any way?

No time for logic and reason, when we have :

You're covered.

Having grown up as a sports junkie of a certain era, I often joke with people with that my boyhood idols were OJ and Pete Rose, so hey... what do you expect from me? As an adult, I had an opportunity to meet and converse with Pete Rose over the course of an evening. With no evocation, I can honestly say for that one evening, I would consider him for any short list of the most contemptible, awful human beings that I have come across. He was rude, condescending and verbally abusive to those around him without provocation. I still believe that he belongs in the HOF. He was a GREAT baseball player. I remain in awe of his baseball career. Same with OJ. I can say with conviction that he is the greatest football player that I have had the privilege to watch play. He played with absolute mastery of his craft, both aesthetically and statistically. He obviously has developed some serious personal demons, and appears to have demonstrated literally horrific behavior years after leaving The Bills and football. Should he remain in the football HOF? I believe that he should. The Bills Wall of Fame is a different situation as it is a franchise specific honor, with franchise specific criteria. Ralph Wilson chose to leave his name there. The Pegulas will have a chance to re-choose when opening a new stadium. They can continue to honor Ralph's decision or they can make their own statement. They will alienate a portion of the fan base regardless of that choice. I really don't care which way they go. My opinions on OJ are my own. No wall or hall will change them. We don't get to rewrite history. We do get to change our minds about what that history means for us today. That is an individual choice and in no way requires uniformity. OJ Simpson was the most exciting Buffalo Bill I ever saw play. His play and his presence on this team cemented my lifelong love affair with this team. It took me a while to reconcile that fact with the events of his life after football. Now that I have learned to separate those things, I am surprised how ambivalent I am on the issue of The Bills Wall of Fame for OJ. That decision cannot change history now. It can make a statement on how the team regards that history.

I'll take a season like this over the drought. At least there is a possibility of good things. That was never so during the drought.

For me, it doesn't. None of those drought era teams had what felt like credible and legit Super Bowl level expectations, both locally and nationally. This is a special kind of gut punch that we haven't fully reconciled yet. The playoffs may or may not still lie ahead, so much story left to be written. But to date, this has been a season of unmet expectations. I think the drought really did meet expectations in the end.

I had no idea he had passed. Just checked the google machine when I saw your reply. Wow. That sounds like a tragic end. Indeed, RIP.

I'm all excited for the draft and looking forward to James Hardy 2.0

I will considerate a moderate victory if we make it through today's game with no sightings of mediocre international soccer coaches hanging out in Terry and Kim's suite during the game.
