  1. A stud goaltender, coming out? Not that there's anything wrong with that, just not how I grade draft prospects, lol. For the record I only dropped in to the thread to see comments after my Islanders got pummeled at home so ignore the above and congrats on the W.
  2. Another one I haven't noticed for awhile is PatsFanNH. I always thought that poster was well intentioned but got blasted for any defense of Brady. In hindsight maybe his disappearance coincides with the decline of the Pats.
  3. The Spags back and forth with Howard was epic. It took a bit before I caught on to the shtick. Good times.
  4. Comparing Kelly to Goff and Hurts makes no sense to me. Do you have Goff and Hurts in the Hall of Fame? Not saying Kelly is a top 3 Bill but imo if you're gonna do a best player in history you absolutely have to consider the era they played in.
  5. Fun fact: the New York Rangers won a game at MetLife more recently than the New York Giants. Ouch.
  6. As trolls go, I wouldn't call this one elite. We've had better.
  7. Who needs data when rules aren't strictly and consistently enforced?
  8. The obvious reason is because I wore my Squirrel Winters t-shirt - which I didn't wear for the Rams game. The less obvious reason is because I was at the supermarket earlier in the day wearing a Bills hoodie. Grabbed something off the shelf, turned around and there was a guy walking past with a Lions sweatshirt . I can't remember ever seeing someone in Lions gear in my area. I said something like 'Oh no, not the Lions!". He chuckled and said good luck, I told him to enjoy the game and we went our separate ways. At the time I had no idea whether it was a good or bad omen. An hour or so later I was a a different saw a guy in a Bills hoodie (not a common occurrence in my area and gave him the obligatory Go Bills and I was feeling better.
  9. My friend took this picture last night. Is there a Marvel movie coming out soon?
  10. Is it just me or does the singer look like Joe Burrow?
  11. Love the Rock/Reggae cross-overs.
  12. Another from the 80's
  13. Agreed. The player turned his back on the team with (as far as I know) zero forewarning. His coaches and teammates responded in kind - no surprise (or complaint from me) there. I expect the team will cut ties and I have no problem with that. Feels like the players association should step in next to address the situation. Big difference between a disgruntled employee and potentially far more serious issues. BTW, I thought it was weak that a poster worried how it might impact Bills/Lions.
  14. Just saw this quote from him and it home. An unfortunate reminder of our fragility. "I didn't think I would ever be in a position like this, as healthy as I thought I was," Moss said.
  15. For me it was Khalil Shakir and Kaiir Elam. Drafted the same year, first namse start with K. My son would mention one of them and I'd have to ask if he was talking about the WR or the DB.
  16. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder? I'm a Mets fan. When the Soto deal got announced I was sleeping. The next morning I saw the family texts (wife and2 college sons) Wifey's comment was "we need pitchers". I don't disagree, good times! Yanks got Cohen'd on Soto but have two high-end starters now. Not sure if the Mets have one high-end starter. Roster re-construction continues for both teams.
  17. The Mets have to decide whether they want Pete or Iglesias back and at what price. Both are more than just UFA's (hired guns) to the Mets imo. Uncle Steve may decide that he won't be outbid on Pete. Maybe not. Everything I read is focused on free agents, but the Mets have some legit prospects and I wonder whether Nimmo would be considered a trade chip. There's been some buzz around the White Sox trading Crochet. BTW, tonight I watched the replay of the clincher against the Braves. I had too much going on that day and didn't see a pitch of that game.My biggest take away is how happy I am with the manager. Tremendous job this season and in that game. I'm not sure if there was a single pitcher out of the bullpen that I trusted consistently this year. The mound visit to Diaz in the 9th was outstanding.
  18. This is the day we all expected when Cohen bought the Mets. I'm interested to see how they construct the rest of the roster. On the aging side there are decisions to be made with Pete, Nimmo, McNeil, Marte and Iglesias. On the younger end of the spectrum it's Vientos, Acuna, Mauricio, Baty and Jett Willliams.
  19. That reminded me of two of the funniest things I remember reading while relieving myself at a bar: "Just remember, no matter how cute she looks tonight some guy somewhere is sick of her sh!t!" Each of the following was written by someone different: I am Hunter S. Thompson. I am Aleister Crowley I'm Popeye the Sailor Man.......toot toot!
  20. @row_33 was a big-time and knowledgeable baseball fan too. On the football side I'll always credit him for suggesting that instant replay should only be done with real-time replays. It'll never happen - the general public seems to demand the Zapruder-ish slo-mo replays that all too often don't result in a consensus call anyway.
  21. Just came across this. A high school choir's 40 year tradition. Outstanding. And the backstory:
  22. haha - I listened to all of those bands. With the exception of KISS I was in from the first album/EP. I could still listen to the early Def and Motley albums. I think I saw Ratt twice and they hold my distinction of being the worst live band I ever saw.
