SinceThe70s

I liked this enough to want to hear more. Album surpassed my expectations. Thanks Pete.

I'm not nearly creative enough to tackle the challenge but someone should make a Poster about Posters. Kind of like the coffee table book about coffee tables.

Didn't see that one coming. I like it.

I had a hard time coming up with a piano/keyboard player that I go out of my way to listen to. Most are either in the background or more about the songs and vocals than the instrument IMO. In hindsight I'd probably go with Derek Sherinian with an honorable mention to Jordan Rudess. But Valby is probably the only piano player I ever bought a ticket to go see. And yeah, I was going for raised eyebrows and a laugh. Nice to see you and Ridge got it. On a related note, I tried to stay away from the obvious iconic choices (Beatles, LZ, Stones, Who,...). I'm far more interested in the non-obvious. Props to: You: Bob Seger.. I love Seger, can't stand Springsteen...go figure Gugny: Brad Delp...I do not listen to Boston's debut album often enough Joe in Winslow: Josh Homme...had to google, for whatever reason they never struck me...what's a good starter album, I've probably been missing out Seasons1992: Flea...great call GETTOTHE50: Barry Gibb...I'm not sure which Gibb this is...and I'm OK with that

Fun fact that I may have mentioned before: the Mets and Yankees almost traded Joe Torre for Ron Guidry when Guidry was still a minor leaguer. Torre may have been a player/manager at the time, not sure. The deal broke down when the Yankees insisted on Otto Velez instead of Guidry. Thor to the Yankees would be an abomination. Speculation is the Mets would get Realmuto and Miguel Andujar in the deal. Probably a good baseball deal especially if you expect Thor to breakdown, but there's no way I could stomach Noah in pinstripes.

Lead Singer - Ronnie James Dio (honorable mention: Geoff Tate) Rhythm Guitar- Rich Robinson Lead Guitar (x2)- Joe Satriani, Warren Haynes Bass Guitar- Tony Levin Drums/Percussion_ Gavin Harrison Piano- John Valby Lyricist-Neil Peart Musical Composer- Frank Zappa Producer- Rick Rubin

I was thinking the same thing. And didn't Dawkins penalty come on the first play from scrimmage? Maybe something carried over from the previous game.

They're already here and posting on a daily basis.

Offense. 3 points in the last 28 minutes won't win many games. And the other 3 points in the second half had nothing to do with the offense.

The silver lining is that Josh is getting plenty of scramble right stiff arm reps. Strong part of his game. Which is nice.

I've always been in the stop crying and play defense camp. I'd still prefer a 15 minute sudden death OT. But that's a great point about how the league has changed Boatdrinks. Wish my memory was better, I have a vague recollection of a team deferring possession in OT because they had confidence their defense would put their offense in a better position to win than a kickoff return would.

For us or him?

Thanks. Two points: I wouldn't put it past the NFL to have buried the Bills report absent the Hughes outburst on video. It seems more likely than not that video/audio of the incident exists. We may need TMZ to surface it.

I question whether the administrative leave would have happened without the unsportsmanlike conduct. The NFL needs TMZ to surface the video/audio of the alleged on-field incident.

Thanks for posting, gave me a chance to hear the hour plus that I missed. Thoughts on each: VW: I liked his comment that he wouldn't have taken the job if it was a rebuild. He's looking to win now. Polar opposite of Sandy's patient approach, but of course he's benefitting from Sandy's patience. Mickeys Clubhouse: a few times he mentioned making sure players were comfortable where they were playing and batting. Bunch of wishy-washy BS imo. Not a fan of him. Coupon: best comment he made was about needing to change the fans perception of management/ownership's commitment to winning. Said he brought in VW to address that. Great, now open up the purse strings.

Sleigh Ride is one of my favorites. Even moreso after last year when my son was fortunate to make the "honors" high school band as a freshman. As it turns out it's an annual tradition to close the winter concert with Sleigh Ride and they invite past grads to join the band on stage. And they absolutely nail the song right down to the trumpet/horse part at the end. Looking forward to seeing it again in a few weeks. In the mean time, no Christmas season should be without Linus & Lucy:

Granted there's no rich owner, but for reference it looks like the going rate last year at Lambeau was $10/hour with no mention of lunch, dinner or a ticket. https://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/fans/2017/12/18/hundreds-turn-out-clear-lambeau-field-snow/961392001/

cbssports.com has the following headline on their landing page: "Bills trying to bribe fans into shoveling snow for them" Actual article doesn't maintain that douchey tone, even mentioning it as an annual tradition early on. Wonder how long that headline sticks on the main page. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/bills-will-give-you-money-and-free-nfl-ticket-if-youre-willing-to-do-one-small-thing-for-them/

Yeah, I caught about a half-hour of it and Francesa was very well-behaved. Totally agree with the grain of salt, but they made it sound like they want Alonso to be part of the plan.

I think I need come to terms with the idea that at least one of these guys will likely be an ex-Met before long: Noah, Conforto, Nimmo, Amed, McNeil. And at the minor league level Alonso could be trade bait as well.

Looks like VW will keep the next few weeks interesting. “[Realmuto is] an attractive player to the Marlins, first and foremost, and I'm sure he'd be attractive to every other club out there,” Van Wagenen said last month. “That type of player — an impact player offensively and defensively — we will be looking to explore all avenues to acquire those types of players, be it free agency or a trade.” https://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/mets/j-t-realmuto-mets-marlins-1.24225435

Blistering guitar solos, humorous lyrics, distinctive vocals and a revolving door of great musicians playing his music. What's not to like? One of my faves for sure.

"Words matter"...and (with apologies to the movie Midnight run) here come 2 for you: STFU!!

No doubt Francesa is highly arrogant. He's an absolute @ss to the majority of his call-ins. Bobby V always held his own with Mike and the Mad Dog but I don't expect tomorrow to go well. Hopefully we get the good Mike tomorrow where he presses them without turning it into a poop show.

That was my takeaway wrt to the Jeff clip as well. Talk is cheap....which is appropriate for the Wilpons. I like what VW Bug had to say about Noah, especially since the stated goal is to compete/win next year Fun radio stuff. WFAN radio ranges from highly entertaining and/or informative to a complete waste of time. This morning was highly entertaining. Wish I had a link, but they had an audio clip of someone's interview where Bryce Harper was asked who he idolized growing up. His answer was Robinson Cano and they ran with it. Tomorrow starting at 4 PM VW Bug, Mickeys Clubhouse and Jeff Coupon will be on for awhile with Francesa. I don't expect that to go well for The Three Stooges.
