Have you ever heard of the "Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961"? I hadn't until a few days ago and I can't say I full understand it, but supposedly it resulted not only in the local TV blackouts when the stadium isn't sold out but also effectively blacked out Friday nights and Saturdays during high school and college football seasons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_Broadcasting_Act_of_1961

Start the season a few weeks later and play the Super Bowl the Sunday before Presidents day. Football is a cold weather sport IMO, so less hot weather games in September and more snow games as an added bonus.

Pushing up the ante, I know you gotta see me Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again

So I'll tell you all the story 'Bout the joker and the thief of the night

It's nice to see a positive outlook on the hire. There's a lot of concern that Rojas will just be Brody's puppet. And we'll have to wait and see if he can handle the media, let alone whether he's a good in-game manager. As for pedigree, are you aware that he's the cousin of Mel Rojas? I'm in wait and see mode, I don't enough about this guy to form a judgement yet.

I think he'll get in but he wouldn't have my vote. Just too many mediocre performances over the course of his career. The two SB MVPs and the fact that they were against the Pats make it a great argument. I think he's a borderline HOFer, but I'm south of that border. One comp which I'm not sure has been mentioned (search came up empty) is Plunkett. Both have 2 SBs, Manning has a 2-1 edge in SB MVP's and they both had .500 records. Eli's passing yards dwarf Plunkett's and Eli's iron man streak was amazing, but there is a precedent for a QB with two SB's to not get in.

They took the whole Cherokee nation Put us on this reservation Took away our ways of life The tomahawk and the bow and knife

I read your mind like an open book You lost the fire in your eyes You turn to me with a different look And then it's raining looks like it's raining Oh no, tears are falling

Well you're just 17 and all you want to do is disappear You know what I mean there's a lot of space between your ears The way that you touch don't feel no nothin' Hey hey hey hey it was the D.N.A.

I realize I missed a day But I'm too wrecked to care anyway I look around and see this face What the hell have I lost my taste

Well, she picked me up in a German car And she took me out to an Irish bar Where I drank some beer in a plastic cup 'Til I had some trouble standing up And then she drove downtown to a strobe-lit space Where all the guys wore chains and the thumping bass Was so intense I could barely feel my face Then I think I asked her back to my place But that's all I recall And when I woke up in the hall I was alone and softly groaning And I lost my keys, and I lost my phone, and I wondered what I did or said That I might soon regret It was the night I can't remember With the girl I can't forget

And if you feel that you can't go on. And your will's sinkin' low Just believe and you can't go wrong. In the light you will find the road. You will find the road

I'm late to the conversation and probably missed a ton of subtle nuances, but the bolded is on point. Trubisky got picked way before Mahomes.

Wow, I haven't heard that name in ages. Can't remember listening to them though.

We're so sorry, Uncle Albert We're so sorry if we caused you any pain

I always wanted this band to be better than they were. There was a lot to like, just not enough to get to the next level. Loved that they could pull off a pop-ish song line A Small Victory and cover War Pigs. When I think of Faith No More, the song that comes to mind first is:

As long as that path includes bringing in a play maker at WR. For the record, I like the path we're on. It's gonna come down to the QB, but that's true of every team (except the Dilfer Ravens).

I'll be interested to see if SF can turn pressure on the QB into sacks and/or turnovers. If they can't, I expect it will be a long day.

Yeah but 75% completion rate. To be honest I only had half an eye on the game. The stat lines were stunning when I saw them.

77 passing yards, 37 points. That's gonna gum up the works for the statisticians.

Ride Sally ride

Try, try, try to understand I'm a magic man

My girl wants to party all the time, party all the time, party all the time

So if I call you Don't make a fuss Don't tell your friends about the two of us I'm not in love, no no, it's because... Be quiet, big boys don't cry Big boys don't cry Big boys don't cry Big boys don't cry

We got five seconds til the end of the world yeah Forever, I'ma find that girl Three, two, one Yeah we got lift off
