SinceThe70s

Went to a Jets/Bills game years ago and my bud bought a Mangold jersey. As much as I hate the Jets always thought that was a great purchase.

I'm always looking for ways to not like guys that play for the Jets, but this guy never gave me a reason. Complete opposite actually. Way too early, sad to hear.

Every few years this song pops up and I like it as much as the last time I heard it. Lyrics are biting. "3:15, I'm running. From a fourth grade lynch mob" "Good Lord, I've birthed a coward"

Lyric thread jogged my memory

I'm still alive and well still alive and well Every now and then I know it's kinda hard to tell But I'm still alive and well

That was the year before my freshman year when I first listened to Genesis - my roommate was a big fan. Liked that Gabriel solo album from the jump.

That's awesome! My first game was in 1971.

Metal on metal It's the only way To Hell with tomorrow Let's live for today

My take is it's a jab at the lack of elite players on THE Buffalo Bills vs. potentially elite players on Ohio State.

Just read that 47 years ago today Alternative Ulster was released. Can't say I followed Stiff Little Fingers but Hanx! was great!

I was surprised to see a topic on the main board about the punch rule divert to a discussion of the SB halftime performers. Good times. For the most part I could care less who the half-time performer is. Half time is for something more substantial to eat, refreshing my drink of choice and taking care of any gastrointestinal imperatives. Not too far off from how I look at SB commercials. By and large I don't gaf and it's just time between what interests me (the game). On the rare occasion I'm interested in the half time performer I'm mildly annoyed that I have to cram in the food/drink/bio necessities.

Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but bad poll imo. The poll asks "Should Josh play hardball with the organization?". There's a tacit assumption in that question that Josh is unhappy. First sentence of OP "Like if he genuinely feels McDermott and Brady are holding him back". If that's not part of the poll question you've poisoned the pool imo.

LOL, I saw the Who on their farewell tour in 1982.

Thread was prompted in part by ticket prices for Rush! Appreciate your point of view.

LOL, I used to say that the hairs I had left were all turning gray in fear that they'd be the next to fall out completely. Also remember asking wifey, hey you wouldn't want me to color my hair, would you? She hesitated which told me all I needed to know - but didn't change anything and we're still together. Good times. Back on topic - ticket fees suck, but parking fees have become more egregious. I get the fees for football games where folks are tailgating and leaving a mess behind, but 1 of 81 baseball games where I'm pulling in and walking in and have to pay $30+? Yuck.

Too much Megadeth is not enough Megadeth. An early fave: Crushing the bones of the hundred-folds, swinging the judgement hammer Man, woman, child, no one is safe. The heads of the dead are the banner

"I must be in the front row!" Iconic, I've repeated that line more times than I can count.

Yup, I'm old - and happy to take the good (or bad) natured slings and arrows that come with it. The bolded is exactly what I am poking at. I'm at a point in my life where I can comfortably afford many things but I often choose not to because the perceived value isn't there for me. But then I see my son want to take his GF to a baseball game and the cost is through the roof for them. jmo, but it feels like entertainment options have become more cost prohibitive. And the poster child is spending hundreds of dollars to send your kid to see Taylor Swift for a few hours.

If you'd listened to opinions similar to some on this board back in the day you would've never believed that Elway's window for winning a SB didn't include his final two years in the league. Don't get me wrong, I don't want Josh and us to wait as long as Elway did, but I agree that this "window" talk is used too much.

This reminded me of a co-worker telling me prior to one of the SB losses to Dallas that the Jimmy Johnson led team would beat the Marv Levy led team. He openly mocked Marv's motivational capability. Whether it was a factor or not he ended up being right.

Ticket prices for concerts, sporting events and other entertainment options have gotten to the point where more often than not they exceed my perceived value. At the same time I'm aware that when I was growing up there were folks older than me that complained about the same so maybe I just hit that age and need to reconsider or stfu.

I will not "go find the draft recap / video that came out after drafting Josh when Schoen and Beane were interviewed on the process leading up". But thanks for the homework assignment to back up your claim. Instead, I'll take you at your word. With that said, I'm not so sure it's commonly accepted that Daboll made the Josh pick.
