Well it's my point of view, moronic or not. I was torn when he dropped it, but getting the #3 is better than having another win. I was just glad I sold my tickets for twice value for that game, had I been there, I would have been pissed. And yes the missed FG was big as well. When you start 0-8, the best you can hope for is a high draft pick, not momentum going into next season, that's moronic...
Another moron here. I was there and I was pissed - for about 5 minutes. Then, after it was all over, I figured it's for the best and it is.........And, it was a really fun game.

Man, I can't believe that you like what Peterson said.

It wasn't me. When Tiger Beat shows up in your mailbox, then you know it's me.
You mean a 2nd issue of Tiger Beat..

I'm pretty happy about the drop right now. I was also happy as a 6 year old when Ed Rutkowski fumbled on the one, so that we could draft OJ. Would you rather have had OJ or some meaningless late season win?

I got a sample bottle of penis enlargement pills in the mail this week. However, I'm pretty sure my wife signed me up for those.

Props to you, justnzane!
Aren't a ton of jobs like Peterson's. The company says well, we're closing our office here in Buffalo. You can keep your job, but you have to move to Charlotte. Is that slavery?

I see absolutely nothing wrong with this at all...In fact I thought it would turn me off but ya know what its just stevie his cousin and his boys havin a good time...I think stevie is a good guy and a good family man and i think he really has a passion for the game and for the buffalo bills which is all that i care about...there was blatant promotion of the bills which was great to see...
I agree with all that.

While the subject matter is pretty much repetitive, there's no way that the rhythm has stayed the same. If you don't notice that, then you're probably just tone deaf. Or you're just super old.
Super old.
That's the way you hear it, but you obviously don't listen to a lot of it. That's ok, but the best producers are doing all sorts of amazing and creative programming to create swing and polyrhythms. As has been the case with all black music, that rhythmic complexity is an undervalued asset in white musical culture. That's why it takes an Elvis to show most white people what the greats were already doing.
Now I'm not going to call Stevie's work here great, but to dismiss rap music due to taste is one (completely valid) thing. To dismiss its musicality without really critically listening is another, less valid enterprise.
My big problem with rap, btw, is the incessant demeaning of women and thematically crass and commercialist lyrics (in mainstream hip hop), and the public's taste for that brand of hip hop. Come up with something new there... There are plenty of underground artists doing just that.
Anyway, go stevie and go Bills!
Correct - I don't listen to a lot of it. You can't help but hear it if you are alive, but I'm not going out of my way to listen to something I can't stand.
It's been 30 years, and I still haven't seen the greatness that you speak of. I was just listening to Wade in the Water by the Ramsey Lewis Trio. It's so awesome, just like most black music was until this genre took over.
And, the lyrics that you brought up - that really puts in over the top. My secretary has a rap song on her ringtone all the time - a different one all time........So, it was ringing for a couple of minutes a few weeks ago, and I'm like are they saying what I think they're saying........So, I shazamed it - and the song is Wet by Snoop Dogg. How she can have a ringtone like that while having small kids is beyond me.

LOL - Classic!
Always
You and Chef, both!

This happened with me too. I got a postcard in the mail back in November or December that said I was getting a gift subscription to both Rolling Stone and ESPN the Magazine, but I don't have a clue where it came from.
Are you (plural) right, too?
-
So did Chef, until his Justin Bieber fan magazines started showing up.
-
Did you get the one with Howard Stern on the cover?
I didn't get mine yet. That'll be coming in the next few days.
-
That's an easy stereotype to apply. There is good and bad music in all genres.

It's the way I hear it. It's rhythm and rhyming - and it's been the same rhythm for 30 years......There's things called melody and harmony they might want to look into.
-
I'm not an expert in hip-hop by any stretch but the beats these guys are using sound about 5-7 years ago.
PTR
5-7 years ago?!? To me, hip hop is the same exact song, they've been using for 30 years. Just different lyrics.
-
I just received four issues of Rolling Stone and I have no idea where they came from. When one issue has Snooki on the cover and another has Justin Bieber I know you did this just to have my head explode. Nice try but instead of me freaking out it helps me come to the same conclusion that I've come to since we moved here to San Francisco.....we're right.
Right about what?
-
...Wow. I am not going to comment on this but in the eyes of so many experts you are wrong.
I read about this one in Rolling Stone last year:

Allen Wilson ties in the Peterson and Rose comments:
-
No doubt. They are actually married now. Who would have figured? Nothing like having to register as a sex offender for something that occured between you and your spouse, although I know of someone this has happened to...
Who would have figured is right!
-
IMO, it's double talk. I don't have time to look it up, but I saw many references last night addressing this where it was clear that Rose still thinks this way. It wasn't just how he thought 20 years ago.

Nice piece by Whitlock but in mentioning the impact that John Thompson and Georgetown had on college basketball, I would have liked to have seen at least a mention of Don Haskins and Texas Western University (now UTEP) and their 1966 NCAA Championship. Their win over Kentucky was a truly transcendent moment in college basketball.
GO BILLS!!!
I thought the exact same thing. I was just a little too young to remember Texas Western in '66, but I can remember all black or mostly black starting lineups in the 70s, before Hoya Paranoia........I'm sure Georgetown did a lot in this regard, but I think Texas Western did more.

What is it these days - something in the water? Too many movies? Too much TV? Cell phones?
Remember when the Mary Kay Letourneau thing blew everybody away. What?!? A hot 30something teacher would ruin her marriage and family over a 13 year old kid.
Now, if you follow GBID here, it's at least a weekly occurrence.

It is, though. Both of these players feel that the black men who attended Duke to play basketball were doing so in spite of being black. They were willing to play the white mans game, if you will. Black people are just as racist as white folk and others. These guys are upset because they feel as if a true black man is someone like them not one of these "Uncle Toms."
I see what you're saying and have to agree........Also, I just the double standard. If a white guy working for espn said Steve Fisher or John Thompson only recruited thugs, I'm pretty sure they would be out of a job right now...........Jalen will not even have to sweat it - his espn job is no jeopardy right now.
-
I really wish I knew more about life so I could understand racism. Then later I realize that by no means would I want to believe there is anything rational about it so I could never understand it. Funny stereotypes are one thing but the idea that race means anything in reality is ...well, I just do not know! I understand the BS of sexism more then I do racism, or the whole church thing...but damn it, I do not get racism. There are differences in culture, there are differences in socio-economics, but there is nothing about the skin that means anything.
Poor Jalen Rose, I fear that he gets lets then I do about the situation. Duke is a great school that I love, along with the Ohio State and Cuse. He stumbles over his beliefs because is he lacking a belief structure. It is plain and simple.
Now, Grant Hill on the other hand,
I am so excited to see the Duke team take this Tourney. My only fear is that Ohio State and Duke meet in the final four and that one faces Cuse!I don't think it has anything to do with the color of one's skin. It's a cultural thing......Rose and Hill both have the same skin color. Both of them are son's of excellent professional athletes. Rose's was Jimmy Walker, a hard partying Detroit Piston, who died very young from some self-destructive cause and never played a part in Jalen's life. Jimmy's backcourt partner, Dave Bing (Cuse great and now mayor of Detroit) was more of a father to Jalen than Jimmy.
Grant Hill's father, Calvin, was there to raise Grant and of course was shown at all the games. So, this is an Uncle Tom, because he came from a two parent family, who were intelligent, hard working and cared about their kids.
I figured my man, Jason Whitlock, would have something to say about this and I just read this:
OK, Which One of You Guys Are !@#$ing With Me

I still get HBO and Cinemax long after I should have cancelled!
