  1. Yeah but we're out of that 4-7 PM Sunday window. I'm not saying the AAF is a slam dunk and I do expect the ratings to plummet after this week. But they may be able to ride the coattails of NFL late Sunday afternoon for long enough to remain viable.
  2. The NFL owns TV on Sundays from 4-7 PM but walks away from it after the Super Bowl. The AAF is trying to fill that void until late April. It's a smart play even if ratings drop as the season progresses.
  3. I know it's not Sabres, but anyone catch the video of James Neal's teeth? https://nypost.com/2019/02/10/the-gross-moment-nhlers-teeth-come-flying-out/
  4. Wasn't aware of that, playing nice with the NFL with regard to eligibility. Smart move. Time will tell whether the league succeeds but it's an interesting niche they're trying to carve out and they have some credibility with regard to the coaching staff and league representation. I watched a game last night and had it on today. The NFL benefits from some of the AAF experiments. Having the replay officials on air is risky. I saw a great example last night where the official talked through what he was seeing and an awful one today. There was also a fantastic camera angle for a punt last night (maybe from a drone?) where you could see where it was going out of bounds. But I'm not a fan of eliminating kickoffs and the extra point.
  5. Kinky sex. Big Foot. Have we confirmed that Rex Ryan wasn't involved?
  6. What's the big deal? If I'm out stalking bear and come across Sasquatch there's really only one option: shoot the sum b!tch. Sasquatch in flagrante delicto? Might need video for my youtube channel before I off 'em both.
  7. No kidding! If you'll excuse me, I need to bump the TIL thread.
  8. On topic: 8 months after the thread started and Abbey Road is still my favorite Beatles album. Off topic: if I had to choose between a world without the Beatles or a world without the Stones I would never have heard "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)".
  9. That used to be my MO. Wife and kids in bed, I'd break out the headphones, DVD and a large drink or three. Wifey got it and actually bought me expensive headphones that I wouldn't have sprung for. I have a Jane's Addiction DVD from a Halloween show in New Orleans that was a go to but haven't watched for quite a while. That's about to change.
  10. This is a bit LAMPish but some intersections in my life with the two posts above: First and only time time I saw The Who was around 1982 in the Syracuse Carrier Dome. Sat top row, pretty sure it was row ZZ. It was the first of many farewell tours for The Who. Keith Moon was long gone. First and only time (before tonight) I had heard of Rockpalast was a video of Porcupine Tree playing Futile (below). I saw one of the bands last performances at Radio City. The drummer, Gavin Harrison, is the second best I've ever seen live. Best drummer I ever saw live was Neil Peart. First and only time I saw him was at the Syracuse Carrier Dome circa 1983-1984. Unlike the Who concert we were 2nd or 3rd row center. Only two shows I ever saw at Syracuse, crappiest seats I've had for a concert and best seats I've had for an arena concert.
  11. If there was a favorite Stones album poll Exile would have at least two votes. The album, not the lock master.
  12. Hate to admit it but I thought the same thing. Still a fun watch. Much more enjoyable than the 3+ hours I spent watching football last Sunday.
  13. They really should have set that to music: EDIT: I'm either too lazy or not set up to scrape the Milano highlight video and splice in the S.O.D. audio. But if you open a tab with the highlights and mute the audio, open another tab with the Milano Mosh youtube video and hit play on both the result is pretty cool.
  14. You ain't got no problem, Ice. I'm on the $%@#*&. Go back in there and chill them Packer fans out and wait for The Wolf, who should be coming directly.
  15. That's at least a six head, maybe a seven head.
  16. Nice to see Bills-related threads on the main board. Good on ya mate.
  17. On the day that the Phillies trade for Realmuto we bring back Mesoraco on a minor league deal. I'm not complaining about either move, but the timing is humorous.
  18. What do I think? The offseason is always way too long and starts way too early for us.
  19. I did not watch the video. And I am not prone to this type of statement. You all now have 11 months to call me out: Post of the year!
  20. I look forward to this every year. Every time we see Blakeman ref a game me and my kids look at each other and say "what's with all the floor bags?"
  21. Truth: Parcells never won a Super Bowl without Belichick Truth: Belichick never won a Super Bowl without Brady Speculation: good coaches need good assistants and good QBs to succeed. Parcells coaching tree includes SB winners Belichick and Payton. Not sure if either has spawned a SB winner. Sooooo....was Parcells all Belichick? No, he was not. Did he benefit greatly from the evil genius? Yes, parttiuclarly against us. And for the record, if you're gonna ask the question shouldn't you at least spell the mans name correctly?
  22. I won exactly $0 dollars. Funny part was I was siting on around $2500 if the Pats had turned 10-3 into 17-3. I was caught between rooting for a garbage time TD that would win me money and a chance for the Rams to take the game to OT and beat the evil Patriots. Story of my life - neither happened.
  23. Hate to admit it, but it is what it is. Edelman was the best player on the field, Pats were the better team. Props to Wade and his crew. Holding the Pats to 13 and losing is a bitter pill to swallow. The Rams offense was pitiful. Goff looked like rookie Goff.
  24. Am I the only one amazed that neither coach threw a challenge flag? Patriots probably could've got a completion overturned but the Rams rushed to the line and snapped the ball. Only call that bothered me was when NRC tackled the receiver behind the line of scrimmage. Not even sure what the call was for. Looked like a great football play to me.
