  1. To me he was a compiler and never a truly dominant player. I want Hall of Famers to be iconic, no-doubters. It's subjective and fun to debate. Years ago there was a poster who was very knowledgeable about baseball who mocked me when I said I thought Yadier Molina would be a HOFer. Different strokes for different folks. The real tragedy to me is that I've never been to Cooperstown. Incomprehensible.
  2. I've said it before, I'm a tough grader when it comes to the HOF. I wouldn't put Wagner in and definitely not Franco. The fact that it took 10 years for Wagner to get in speaks volumes to me. Great player, just not a HOFer in my eyes.
  3. So is your opinion that the posting on that site is classy? From what I've read few if any here are disparaging the Chiefs fan base, just the posting of the fans on that site. Is that a go-to board for you?
  4. Apart from the song and video itself, what made it worse for me is that it came from a band that I liked years before it came out.
  5. To each their own - and I mean that sincerely. I have no doubt there's a lot of music I like that others can't stand.
  6. My sons high school marching band was sizable and every year the half-time show was impressive. I'll never forget my eldest coming home with the music freshman year and the closing song was Karn Evil 9. Awesome. Other years they played music I didn't care for (Pit Bull, Avicii) and it was still great. Good times. Back to the thread, here's a song that was pretty popular that I could never stomach: Shout, shout , let it all out. This is a song I could live without!
  7. RIP
  8. I'm just getting caught up on this thread and as soon as I saw @LABILLBACKER's Buddhist reference the first thing that came to mind was "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change...". It's kind of ridiculous to apply it to a football team winning or losing vs. what you went through with your son. And yet I'm 100% on board with the sentiment wrt the Bills.
  9. There are some who call you.......................Tim?
  10. Great player and I learned last night a class act too. Compare his smile/embrace to how Mahomes interacted with Josh after we beat the Chiefs in the regular season last year.
  11. We won the game in large part because we played mistake free. That's a common component to winning in the NFL and not something to be ashamed of. As to your stipulation that we could not afford to make any mistakes - that was true in large part due to the fact that we only put up 6 points in the second half. Raise your hand if you thought 6 more points would be enough to win at half time. Personally I thought we needed 7 on the first drive of the 3rd quarter. Take the w's any way you can get them, but mistake free football is a strong start.
  12. He absolutely wanted to pitch it to Cook. Glad he didn't, would've been a poor choice. On the flip side the Cooper flip to Josh was a play of the year and I don't want Josh to ever lose who he is. Good times.
  13. I can agree with this post while at the same appreciate the "know-it-all" posters who would clearly be coach of the year perennially given the opportunity.
  14. I'm still rolling with the Squirrel Winters t-shirt. The Bruce jersey hasn't made it out of the closet this year. Good times.
  15. Guess #1: the players responsible for the turnovers Guess #2: the players who dropped passes Guess #3 (sorry for not playing by your rules): the head coach who led a team that lost due to turnovers and dropped passes.
  16. I went from elation that they missed the two point conversion to dread at the thought that the game came down to covering an on-sides kick in bad conditions vs. trusting Josh to get us into FG position with 1:33 and two time outs left.
  17. If we didn't make it and the Ravens went 98/99 yards and didn't need a 2 point conversion the other y'all folks would be out in full force. It was a choice with no guarantee either way.
  18. You missed #4 imo. Take your chances in OT if 1-3 go the wrong way. The worst of the 4 but still a shot to win.
  19. The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up. I can't count the number of times I've said "Juuuust a bit outside!" or went to a game and said "I must be in the front row!" RIP to a legend.
  20. Ex-Jet Aaron Glenn's name comes up a lot.
  21. Interesting comparison. Raiders got stuck behind the success of the Steelers dynasty and missed out on one SB opportunity due to the immaculate reception - and yes I get that play wasn't a failure on the coaches - still an interesting comparison on the thin line between winning and losing for the also-rans Ironically some think the Steelers team that lost to the Raiders in the 1976 championship game was their strongest team of that era- I looked it up and they gave up 9.9 points per game that year.
  22. Didn't Rex also send IK out for the coin toss against the Jets? That was equal parts humous and classless.
  23. After taking the Pats game off, the Squirrel Winters t-shirt was back yesterday and once again led us to victory. If you've been following the saga of my pre-game grocery shopping and it's karmic impact on the Bills: yesterday due to circumstances outside of my control I did not go grocery shopping until after the game, yet the Bills still won. It's clear to me now that my grocery shopping was a red herring and I will never speak of it again. And there's no truth to the rumor that I plan on having herring for my pre-game meal next Sunday.
  24. Common sense is the coach should expect his kicker to be far closer to the middle on a kick from that distance.
