SinceThe70s

Vacationed in Chicago two years ago and made a point to take the fam on a tour of: Lower Wacker Drive, the intersection where the cop car pileup happened and of course the Richard J Daley plaza. One of the great car chase scenes ever.

Agreed that these are play specific calls, but some of your supporting statements look suspect at best. Jack Tatum? Don't think he was ever suspended. Did you mean someone else or did I miss that he got suspended? To the last few years point, as per wikipedia, guys that were suspended since the mid-80's below. Other than 2017 looks like suspensions have been doled out on the regular starting in the new milennium. 1986 Greg Townsend:Unsportsmanlike conduct, stemming from his participation in a brawl versus the Kansas City Chiefs on October 5, 1986 1986 Charles Martin: Body-slamming Chicag o Bears quarterback Jim McMahon 1996 Derrick Thomas: Unsportsmanlike conduct, stemming from multiple personal fouls in a loss against the Denver Broncos 2002: Rodney Harrison: Helmet-to-helmet collision on Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jerry Rice 2006 Albert Haynesworth: Stomping on Dallas Cowboys center Andre Gurode 2007 Adam Jone: Attacking a stripper and threatening a security guard's lifes (irrelevant, included for humor value). 2008 Eric Smith: Helmet-to-helmet collision against Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin 2008 Plaxico Burress: Accidental shooting with a firearm (irrelevant, included for humor value). 2009 Plaxico Burress: Aforementioned accidental shooting irrelevant, included for humor value). 2009 Dante Wesley: Launching himself against Tampa Bay Buccaneer punt returner Clifton Smith 2011 Ndamukong Suh: Stomping of Green Bay Packers lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith 2011 James Harrison: Violent tackle on Cleveland Browns quarterback Colt McCoy 2012 Joe Mays: Illegal hit on Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub 2013 Antonio Smih: Removing and swinging Miami Dolphins guard Richie Incognito's helmet 2013 Dashon Goldson: Helmet-to-helmet hit on New Orleans Saints running back Darren Sproles 2013 Brandon Meriweather: Repeated violations of the league's helmet-to-helmet policy 2013 Eric Walden: Headbutting Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker 2013 Dashon Goldson: Repeated violations of the league's player safety polic 2013 Michael Griffin: Repeated violations of the league's player safety policy 2014 Brandon Meriweather: Illegal hit on Baltimore Ravens WR Torrey Smith 2014 Dominic Raioloa: Stomping on the leg of Chicago Bears defensive tackle Ego Ferguson 2014: Ndamukong Suh: Stepping on the leg of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers 2015 Aqib Talib: Poking the eye of Indianapolis Colts tight end Dwayne Allen 2015 Odell Beckham Jr: Helmet-to-helmet collision on Carolina Panthers cornerback Josh Norman 2016 Vontaze Burfict: Repeated violations of safety-related playing rules 2017 Danny Trevathan: Helmet-to-helmet collision on Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams 2017 Andrew Sendejo: Helmet-to-helmet collision on Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Mike Wallace 2017 Rob Gronkowdick: Intentionally falling on the neck of Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre'Davious White while he was on the ground 2017 JuJu Smith-Schuster: Violations of safety-related playing rules 2017 George Iloka: Violations of safety-related playing rules 2017: Thomas Davis Jr.: Illegal hit on Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams 2018 Leonard Fournette: Fighting Buffalo Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson during a game 2019 Vontaze Burfict: Repeat violation of the league's player safety policies, stemming from a hit on Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle

Channel flipping today and just missed the car chase from Bullitt. Watched it on the youtube and to be honest it didn't quite live up to the memory, but still iconic. So what are your favorites?

Pennies make no sense.

In the other Garrett thread someone asked whether it would have been a lifetime ban for Garrett if it had been Brady instead of Rudolph. When you compare Gronk/Tre and Garrett/Rudolph incidents to the punishments meted out by the NFL it's hard to ignore the star/Pats factor.

That's been my opinion all along. Seemed like some combination of PR and/or legal CYA posturing on both sides.

I allegedly have a two car garage. But for some reason there's only ever room for my wife's car. We're currently finishing our basement so for the past few weeks it's been a 0 car garage. Kind of funny hearing her complain about having to wait to defrost the windows on a cold morning. Yeah, no sh!t woman, been doing that for years. Lol. WRT the frost guard, I clear the hood and roof too so that wouldn't help me much.

Probably too late to help now, but I'm a big believer in Coldeeze. As soon as I start feeling cold symptoms I start taking them. I keep a box at work. I think it lessens the severity and duration of my colds. Supposedly you have tio ake them early on or they aren't effective. Maybe a marketing ploy but they seems to work for me. BTW, if it's psychosomatic - I'm cool with it. Maybe similar to Zicam? I think both are zinc based. Not sure.

That's exactly my point. In earlier times, in a chippy game when the home team had the game well in hand they'd take the foot off the gas and let the losing team do the stupid sh!t and only respond to it if necessary.

Mentioning Cano without acknowledging that it also meant dumping Jay Bruce to make room for younger players is over-simplifying. It was a trade with a lot of risk/reward. Unfortunately it's been all downside. And will get worse if/when Kelenic becomes a star. Just saw an article a few days ago about him that made me throw up in my mouth. This could become our Frank Costanza: why did you trade Jay Buhner for Ken Phelps moment.

If you can't beat 'em - beat 'em! What's different here is that the Browns were playing at home, had the game in hand and hadn't beaten the Steelers in 5 years. Usually it's the team on the losing end that does the dumbest sh!t. Should have been a great night for the Browns.

Hey Momma Folks say Papa never was much on thinking Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking Momma I'm depending on you to tell me the truth Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said, son Papa was a rolling stone (well, well, well, well) Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone

They competed for the wild card late into the season.That's not a setback IMO. He signed deGrom, didn't bury Alonso for the extra year of control (I thought that was stupid at the time), turned McNeil into a better hitting Zobrist (some folks thought this was bound to fail), brought in J.D. Davis, didn't give up on Dom Smith ( I would have) , had a minor league system with major league ready talent (Hechevaria, Carlos Gomez, Rajai Davis) and decisively cut ties with the likes of Keon Broxton and Aaron Altherr. Oh yeah, he also fired Mickey.That's a good, thing amirite? I'm not sold on Brodie by any means but I do think his vocal detractors ignore what he's done well (and yes, I get that his bullpen was an unmitigated disaster and he's gutted the minor leagues - as long as you consider losing three players 'gutting') LGM, Go Bills!

Brodie is a lightning rod. Cano/Diaz/Kelenic/Dunn will be his legacy for better or worse. Right now it looks horrendous even though Kelenic and Dunn are still unproven. But what people forget is that he dumped Jay Bruce in the deal and Diaz looked like a great pickup at the time. NOBODY predicted the Diaz drop-off. Poop happens.

I'm a middle of the road person. Brodie's made some bad moves. But he did get DeGrom signed and brought Alonso up to start the season. Both of those moves could be viewed as not Wilpon-esque.

Fred Sanford would have been the Lavar Ball of his time.

So Gostkowski (probably spelled that wrong) never missed a kick? Ask yourself whether you truly believe that 'Your only as good as your last kick' isn't clownish hyperbole. Your own example cited at least 8 kicks.

Nah, this place is great. Lots of critical thinking from knowledgeable fans. In season Mondays can be rough - we're either definitely winning the Super Bowl or the 0-16 Bucs - but either way the passion is appreciated by someone who never lived in or near Buffalo. Go Bills!

I'm not a fan of hyperbole. For me, it usually detracts from the point trying to be made. I welcome critical thinking, it's why I come here everyday. 'You're only as good as your last kick' is a clownish statement to me.

You don't honestly believe that, do you? Every great kicker suddenly sucks after a miss? Sounds like something you'd pull out from down under...and I don't mean Australia.
